"Miss Sato and Mr. Uehara, the relationship between the two of them is really good..."
Watching Uehara Katsumi, who was fighting and retreating, being chased by Sato Miwako and running around the office area, Takagi Wataru, who was leaning on his friend Chiba, could not hide his envy in his eyes.
"Isn't it normal for the two of them to have a good relationship? After all, Uehara was brought out by Sato in the first place." As a rare male police officer in the Metropolitan Police who does not regard Sato Miwako as the lover of his dreams, Chiba and Shinraku
Hehehe patted Takagi on the shoulder and looked at the two men around him with interest, one with envious expressions and the other with a black face.
This is much more interesting than boring interviews.
There are also circles within the Metropolitan Police Department.
As one of only two professional members under Megure, Uehara Katsumi was originally in the core circle of the three series. Although he has been fishing in troubled waters, his relationship with the people in the entire circle is pretty good.
As for the fact that Shiratori Rensaburo and Takagi Wataru are both admirers of Sato Miwako, it is estimated that only Sato Miwako herself in the entire three families is completely kept in the dark.
Originally, as the peer who has worked with Miwako Sato for the longest time in the three series, Shiratori Rensaburo actually believed that he had more than 90% chance of success in joining hands with her. After all, the competitor who threatened her the most was no longer there.
Already.
Although Takagi Wataru later gained the attention of Megure Thirteen, Shiratori did not think that he would become his competitor until the arrival of Katsumi Uehara.
This complete new recruit relied on his first-come-first-served advantage to become a warrior in just three months. He dared to publicly declare that he wanted to pursue Miwako Sato, and in the following time, he single-handedly promoted the success of Miwako Sato.
The formal establishment of the "Miwako Sato Defense Line" within the Metropolitan Police Department.
Although they were friends, Shiratori Rensaburo, who raised the highest alert level in his heart, still chose to personally serve as the highest commander of the defense line. But even so, he still couldn't help Katsumi Uehara, who was as thick-skinned as Tokyo Bay.
Due to personality reasons, they have never been able to dance in Miwako Sato's minefield like Uehara Katsumi, and then sit upright as if nothing happened after they are done.
"This is dangerous."
As the leader of the "Miwako Sato Defense Line", Shiratori Rensaburo looked at the confused Takagi Wataru with a straight face, and solemnly said: "Takagi, I still think you should join our defense line camp."
"Uh...I don't need to..."
Takagi Wataru, who never expected that he would be involved in the dispute, raised his hands and smiled to help himself: "Miss Sato is so beautiful and gentle, it is normal for many men to like her.
"And Uehara is also very good. I heard from people at the Ministry of Transportation that he used to be the go-to guy in the eyes of many girls. He was pretty average-"
"According to incomplete statistics, Uehara once had as many as 11 rumored girlfriends." Shiratori Rensaburo opened his mouth and stunned Takagi.
"What?"
"I can't handle such an opponent by myself. I need help, Takagi." Although he is a noble son of a wealthy family, Rensaburo Shiratori, who has no scandal at all, still wants to bring Takagi into the team.
"If you think about it carefully, Zuo Teng is such a beautiful, considerate, and gentle woman——"
"Sato, wait for me—nooooo!"
Before Shiratori Rensaburo could finish his words, Uehara Katsumi, who could not move after all, let out an ambitious roar beside his work station.
But before she could finish her yelling, Miwako Sato covered her mouth.
The three people who followed the sound blinked, and after coming into contact with Uehara Katsumi's eyes full of desire for survival, they happened to meet the gaze of Miwako Sato——
"Takagi, Chiba, it suddenly occurred to me that there is a clue that may have been overlooked." Shiratori looked back with a serious expression.
"..."
"..."
"...?"
Katsuki Uehara, who slowly typed a question mark, looked obviously tired when he finally walked into the interrogation room.
"It seems that you have a good rapport with women, Officer Uehara." The old man, who had been sitting quietly on the chair without moving his buttocks, raised his eyes and said.
"Do you want to add another crime of defamation?" Uehara Katsumi, who had just been asked not to contact Sato's mother in private, was obviously not in a good mood. He looked askance at the old curator who was caught at gunpoint.
"You have a very weak smell of women's perfume. If you don't stay close together for a long time, you won't be able to retain it." Director Ochiai looked at the young man in front of him with a kind smile: "It's so late, how can you still be with me?
The fact that you stay close together shows that she has a good relationship with you."
"I like to hear this."
Uehara Katsumi, who suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, couldn't help but nodded: "But you still have to go to jail."
"Scaring is useless to me, Officer Uehara. The museum's surveillance can prove my innocence."
"I'm not talking about going to jail now, but going to jail later."
"In the future?" Director Ochiai's smile faded, and his eyelids twitched slightly.
Katsuki Uehara untied the old man's hands, and the handcuffs hit the table with a pinging sound: "As I said before, I can't believe your words, but there is really no evidence at hand, so you can go.
"But let me put my words here, I think you definitely did this with some ulterior motive. Otherwise, why would a normal person be wandering around in an art museum in the middle of the night wearing fake armor weighing dozens of kilograms?"
Pointing the edge of the table with his right index finger, Uehara Katsumi tilted his head slightly and stared at the old man in front of him with a half-smile: "And the sword is still pointed."
"Are you trying to scare me, Officer Uehara? Although I am old, I can still hire a lawyer."
"Whatever, I suggest you hire lawyer Fei Miles. She has never lost a lawsuit before, and I would rather see her lose. If you think there is a high probability that you will not be able to see this undefeated queen, then I can give you some instructions.
road."
Katsuki Uehara, who had his arms bent on the table and his upper body leaning forward slightly, smiled and said: "There is a Maori detective agency in Yoneka Town. He is the husband of lawyer Feili. If you go over and say that you want to find lawyer Feili, he will definitely help.
of."
"It seems like I have to thank you for your kindness?"
"You're welcome, I won't see you off if you take your time."
Seeing Katsuki Uehara making a "please" gesture in the direction of the door, Director Ochiai slowly stood up, rubbed his wrists expressionlessly and walked out.
Before the murder plan even started, the medieval knight had already been exposed.
There is not much time left until the art museum is completely acquired, and it is impossible for him to come up with a seamless plan now.
But if this plan is to continue to be implemented, Uehara Katsumi, who has now noticed him, will definitely focus on himself...
"call……"
The moment he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department, the cold wind blowing against his face made the old man tremble. He couldn't help but turn his head and look back at the still brightly lit building behind him.
What Uehara Katsumi said before leaving couldn't help but come to mind.
Maybe...he can really find a lawyer?
If I remember correctly, the prerequisite for the acquisition of the art museum is that the art museum must continue to operate as an art museum. This commitment should be written in the contract.
However, if the acquisition contract is cancelled, where will the art museum go in the future if no one takes over?
"Breaking news! The undersea sightseeing tunnel built by the Suzuki Consortium is nearing completion. By then, we will..."
The old man at the roadside convenience store went in to buy a bottle of water. When he looked up at the checkout room, he happened to see the host on the evening entertainment news announcing good news that was beneficial to the stock price of the Suzuki Consortium.
"Suzuki...Consortium?"
The old curator, who had devoted most of his life to medieval art, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind.
That person is from the Suzuki Foundation. He is very rich and is also very passionate about art. He has bought several pieces of art from him and said it was of great use.
Suzuki Jiroyoshi's business card should still be in his customer manual.
