Drug-related crimes are often extremely risky, especially for police officers who investigate them.
Ever since he decided to arrest the Tsukikage Island drug trafficking group headed by Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kawashima Hideo and Nishimoto Ken, he had been prepared to deal with the risks. The reason why he said it now was to give Aso who had not experienced this.
Become a reminder.
"I still don't understand why you let yourself get involved in this vortex." Aso Miki, who had already figured out the risks while thinking about it, looked into his friend's eyes, with a bit of confusion in his tone.
"If I remember correctly, the third department of violent crime investigation where you work is responsible for homicide."
When it comes to Moon Shadow Island, it is said that the murder of Keiji Aso twelve years ago can be related to the third line, but that has already been twelve years, and it has long been over.
Faced with doubts, Uehara Katsuki grinned, turned around to face the distant coastline, stretched his waist, and asked something unexpected: "You know, as long as I can remember, I have admired those who have particularly good academic performance.
Man, this feeling became even stronger after I was admitted to Keying.
"I worked so hard but could only get into Keio, so I was wondering how strong those people who could get into Tokyo University's Faculty of Medicine and Law must be."
"...Actually, studying well is just studying well, and the University of Tokyo Medical School is not as beautiful as you think."
Aso Minoru, who had guessed the answer in his mind, put one hand in his pocket and walked forward with a medical kit in the other, standing side by side with his friend, and said with a relieved smile: "They are also human beings, and they also have thoughts of killing people."
"What a coincidence, I happen to be in charge of murder."
Katsuki Uehara turned his head, just as Aso Minoru also turned his head and looked over.
Their eyes met, and nothing could be said.
After a long time, Aso Minoru broke the silence and smiled happily: "Thanks, Uehara."
"You're welcome, just treat me to dinner."
"What to eat?"
"You can eat anything. I didn't even eat breakfast, so I just drank a glass of watermelon juice. I was starving to death, so I didn't choose."
The chatting figure gradually blended into the crowd of people vacationing on Yueying Island.
Half an hour later, Yueying Island, Ikeda Barbeque Restaurant.
"Miss Waiter, please order 4 signature barbecue sets!"
Uehara Katsuki opened the door curtain and opened his mouth. The young lady who immediately stepped forward to serve him looked back and forth at the man and woman in front of him with a surprised look on his face: "Doctor Asai?"
After being on Yueying Island for so long, she has never seen Dr. Asai eating barbecue alone with any of his male friends.
"He has a big appetite. It's okay, just 4 servings." Makoto Asai, who thought the little girl was frightened, arched his eyebrows and added softly.
"The portion is obviously small, and I doubt that four portions are enough. If it weren't for the fact that you work in a small place like Yueying Island Clinic and your salary is not high, I would have ordered seven or eight portions."
Finding an empty table in the hall, Katsumi Uehara sat down on the chair comfortably and began to play with the clips. The sincerity in his words made Aso Mimi roll his eyes vaguely: "So I have to thank you for my wallet."
For your own sake?”
"You're welcome."
Katsuki Uehara, who was also able to climb up the pole, waved his hand grandly: "Two more bottles of beer, thank you."
"Be careful about alcoholic liver disease." As a licensed doctor, Aso gave dietary advice from his professional perspective.
"Don't drink if you can."
Uehara Katsuki took the cups and bowls handed over by the waiter's little sister, placed all the barbecue plates one by one, and filled the cups awkwardly: "Perhaps this is the last meal for you and me, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't eat more comfortably?"
"
"Are you sure they can find us so quickly? This place should be fine. It's a small store that has only been opened for more than a year." Aso Minoru, who has never been in contact with drug gangs, is puzzled by Uehara Katsumi's repeated vigilant remarks.
"Not sure, but Yueying Island is so big. Once they find out that the account books are missing, they will definitely conduct an investigation immediately. They will find us two very quickly."
There are space restrictions here. I want to take a boat to leave the island but I haven’t bought a ticket yet. The passenger flow is overwhelming. The passenger boats on Yueying Island are already too busy today.
"You have to know that one of our opponents now is the village chief who holds real power, and the other is a big capitalist with the richest assets on the island..."
He raised his head and drank the first glass of wine in one gulp. The slightly mellow wine dripped down the sides of his mouth. Feeling a chill in his heart, Uehara Katsuki couldn't help but feel his mind clear.
Aso Miki frowned slightly as he held up the wine glass and lowered his head to take a sip. He began to lower the meat slices into the frying table with the tongs in his hand: "Are you so unsure of your disguise?"
He must have been monitoring a blind spot when he stole the ledger, there is no doubt about it.
"Of course I have confidence in myself—"
As soon as he picked up a piece of meat and put it to his mouth, he blew a few breaths. From the corner of his eye, he saw eight big men in suits filing in from the entrance of the barbecue restaurant. Uehara Katsumi paused for a moment, and then put the piece of meat into his mouth as if nothing happened.
: "Okay, now I have no confidence."
"?"
"Let me ask you a question, Chengshi, have you ever been in a group fight?"
After receiving the signal, Aso Minoru narrowed his eyes and subconsciously tightened the handle of the beer glass: "No."
"Boss, where do you go to the bathroom here?"
With a smile on his face, Uehara Katsumi slowly stood up from the chair, and Aso Minoru also stood up with a tacit understanding and prepared to leave——
The eight strong men in suits who were seated stopped at the door as if they had received some notification!
"Brother, please make way, I'm going out to use the toilet." Uehara Katsumi stood in front of a table with an unchanged expression and said with a smile.
"take away."
The leader waved his hand, and Uehara Katsumi, who picked up a beer glass, suddenly became violent and smashed it directly over his face!
boom!!!
"Chengshi, let's go!"
Beer and glass shards flew together. Katsuki Uehara's face changed suddenly and he kicked the chair out to block the way. Then he grabbed his friend's hand and ran towards the window!
"Don't even think about it!"
One person was caught off guard and fell down, but one of the seven bodyguards left quickly reached out and grabbed the broken arm of Uehara Katsumi, pulled him back, and locked his throat with his thick arm!
"Uehara!"
Turning his head and seeing this scene, Asheng Shitong shrank, grabbed a chair and threw it at the big and thick bodyguard!
Broken wood and cracked suits became the main theme of the barbecue restaurant at this moment. After feeling that the strength of the arm locking him was a little weak, Uehara Katsumi seized the opportunity and grabbed his opponent's crotch with his claw-like hands!
"Well!"
The upper body and lower body were hit hard at the same time. The bodyguard's face turned green, and he immediately let go of his hands and lay on the ground with his waist hunched over and whining!
"Damn it, I never want to eat barbecue again!"
Shaking his hands, Uehara Katsumi, whose face was red due to lack of oxygen, rubbed his neck and cursed.
"Uehara! Be careful!"
Aso's real exclamation in his ears made Uehara Katsumi immediately duck down and duck under the table to avoid the capture of the two strong men. Then he got out from under the table and grabbed the table with both hands.
Along the edge, veins popped out on the back of the hand, and the entire table was overturned, blocking all frontal sight!!!
