Chapter 22 Not active after get off work, there is a problem with the brain
"He seems to have noticed it."
As he was talking about someone behind his back but was almost caught by the real person, Aso felt a little guilty in his heart. He put the sushi dipped in wasabi into his mouth and chewed it, but there was no distortion in the expression between his eyebrows.
"After all, he is a former detective, so he still has some basic skills." Katsuki Uehara, who only dared to dip a little bit of mustard, looked at the dipping plate in front of his friend, gritted his teeth and dipped a little more——
The smell that hit his nose made him lose his composure on the spot: "Ahem!"
Asoso, who knew this was the result, had no choice but to hold his forehead, and moved the plate towards him to avoid being affected: "I've been told not to eat if you don't know how to eat. I'm used to eating. I used to rely on this to refresh myself.
.”
"You medical students are indeed perverts."
Uehara Katsuki, who immediately picked up the water glass and started drinking, couldn't stop the verbal attack. Asano Minoru picked up his own dipping plate, without changing his expression, picked up the sushi, picked up the wasabi and put it in his mouth, not forgetting to glance at him when he was done.
One glance.
The movements are very slow, and the chewing speed is also very slow, but the silent contempt is overflowing and can be seen at a glance.
After gulping down three large cups of warm water, Uehara Katsumi finally regained his composure. His skin was as thick as a wall, and he completely ignored his previous embarrassment. He wiped his wet lips with a tissue, picked up the tachyon, and looked after himself like a normal person.
Have a great time.
It looked like he was trying to put all the sushi on the plate into his stomach before Aso could react.
"Waiter, please serve two more special sushis."
Putting down the tachyon with great interest, he watched his friend's vengeful devouring. After nearly half of the remaining sushi on the plate had been cleared, Aso Minoru raised his hand to greet the waiter and ordered two portions of the highest grade sushi.
.
Uehara Katsumi, who burped, was still very proud, but when he heard that two more special sushi were coming, he was immediately stunned: "Did you win the lottery?"
"No, I just suddenly wanted to taste the top-notch sushi that this high-end sushi restaurant is proud of."
Aso, who was only half-full, raised his eyebrows jokingly: "Then I suddenly remembered that I had not given any greeting gifts when I arrived at the hospital, so I decided to try it. If it tastes good, I will pack the remaining ones back to the department for my colleagues to taste.
taste.
"As for money, I still have some savings, and based on my current salary after joining the job, a few high-end sushi won't hurt me."
Aso moved his butt on the chair and crossed his legs, looking at his friend with a playful look in his eyes: "But can you still eat it now? This is special sushi."
"...Eat, if you don't eat, it's free."
After touching his slightly bloated stomach, Katsumi Uehara, who really couldn't bear to see Aso's proud appearance, calmed down and gritted his teeth.
It’s a matter of face, don’t lose your status!
"If you feel indigestion in the afternoon, remember to come to me. I will help you find an experienced doctor to take a look." Asami, who was holding back a smile, took out a very simple business card from his trouser pocket.
Place it on the desktop and push it to your friends.
Katsuki Uehara glanced at——
Mihua Central Hospital, Department of Orthopedics, Ashwagandha.
"Use your real name?"
"The recommendation letter written by the old senior at Yueying Island Clinic was written by Aso. I confessed my identity to him, and he also knew my father."
Uehara Katsumi, who held the business card and looked at it carefully for a while, pursed his lips and smiled, then looked his friend up and down: "If there is any problem with my bones in the future, I will definitely not go to Mihua Central Hospital and let you perform an operation on me."
"My former mentor may be more awesome than you imagine."
As they looked at each other and smiled, Aso shrugged indifferently and said: "And you'd better pray not to send me for surgery. What I'm good at is saving lives, not maintenance."
"The Taoist priest said that I would live a long life without illness or disaster. You will not have this chance."
"Do you still believe this?"
"I believe it every time I go out and feel my left eyelid twitch."
The department chief, Megure Shisan, who had just returned from his travels, had not yet warmed up on his office chair when he was shocked to stand upright by his subordinates who came to report the situation. He stared at his right-hand man with wide eyes: "He has appeared.
The seventh dead person?!"
"Yes, police department."
Shiratori Rensaburo, who looked extremely solemn, nodded and said: "Like the first six deceased, the seventh deceased was still soaked in the fish tank when he was found. Of course, the same thing remains the same as the metal with the word [] written on it.
Nameplate.”
The photos of the scene were unfolded one by one by Shiratori Rensaburo on the large desk of Memu Shisan. The scarlet blood and the panic-filled and horrified expression of the deceased before his death made this man who had been working at the grassroots level feel miserable.
The veteran police officer with decades of experience has a terrifyingly dark complexion.
"This bastard!"
He clenched a fist with one hand and subconsciously punched the desk. Mu Mu Shisan clenched his teeth. The four letters stained red with blood were like invisible knives thrust straight into his chest, making him panic.
"Has the identity of the deceased been found out? What is the specific condition of the body?"
"The identity has been verified, but the specific condition of the body... the police department, we are still queuing up, and the forensic department is busy." Shiratori Rensaburo was also helpless.
The damn number of forensic doctors means that police officers like them have to make an appointment in advance if they want to clarify the cause of death of the deceased. In the past, waiting would have been enough, but this time it was a crazy serial murderer——
In just seven days, there were seven more corpses whose causes of death needed to be clarified in order to determine the direction of the investigation.
The first fucking corpse hasn’t even been put on the dissecting table yet!
"I'm going to apply for special procedures. Shiratiao, you continue to check the social circle of the seventh deceased to see if he had any intersection with the first six deceased."
Faced with the chronic problem of insufficient forensic manpower, which has plagued the Japanese police for countless years, even Megure Thirteen has nothing to say.
"I understand, I will continue to follow up on this case."
Even though he thinks he has good abilities, when faced with this kind of serial murderer who has no common ground with the dead, no matter how confident Shiratiao is, he can't help but feel a little frustrated.
He had a premonition, a premonition that he didn't want to admit——
If the murderer has completed his killing and disappeared, then he may not be able to break the trap, causing the trap to become a headless hanging trap and become dusty in the archives.
"well……"
Sighing, Shiratori walked out of his boss's office and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. In the past, when it was time to get off work, he would have been ready to try to invite Sato to have dinner with him. But now, there was no trace of it.
Feeling.
"Why did Shiratori sigh as soon as he came out of the Memu Police Department office? Was he scolded?"
Holding a box of after-meal digestion tablets that he had just bought in his hand, Katsuki Uehara, who was leaning next to Sato's workstation with a thermos cup, ate two pills. Seeing this, he couldn't help but poke Miwako Sato's shoulder, curious.
asked.
"It seems that it's still the case of the eucalyptus he was in charge of before. There are more and more dead, but the forensic doctor has not been able to arrange it." Sato, who was still helping to polish the report on Moon Shadow Island, put down the pen in his hand and scribbled.
After making the corrections, the book, which was already quite complete, was pushed to the man: "After the corrections, you can just make a copy of it. But as promised, there really won't be another time."
"I'm sure. To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, Sato." Uehara Katsumi, who was not interested in drinking, extended the invitation without even looking at the report.
"You are still taking digestive tablets, are you sure you still have enough stomach for dinner tonight?" Miwako Sato leaned on the back of the swivel chair, pouted at the health supplement in the man's hand, tilted her head and said in a funny way.
"I just ate too much at lunch - burp! Besides, inviting you to dinner doesn't mean I want to eat."
Uehara Katsumi, who rubbed his belly, subconsciously burped. Miwako Sato shook her head: "Okay, you'd better go and hand in the report quickly."
"There's no rush, tomorrow is the deadline. We'd better discuss treating you to dinner and saying thank you. I heard there's a new Bullfrog restaurant over there in Cupido Town. The specialties are delicious. Are you interested?"
"Let's wait and see when I take a vacation."
Miwako Sato raised the folder in her hand, stood up, walked closer to the man and raised her eyebrows: "Or are you planning to stay tonight to help me write a report?"
"You know what my favorite quote is?"
"What is it? The transformation of a masked superman? Or something that Cao Cao said in the Three Kingdoms?" Miwako Sato, who was leaning on the table, shrugged.
"No, it's just that I'm not active after get off work and there's something wrong with my brain."
Uehara Katsumi, who picked up his report, raised his eyes and glanced at the time and decisively said: "It's settled, Sato, we'll go to dinner together when you take your vacation!"
Miwako Sato, who was standing there, was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.
