Chapter 41 Metropolitan Police Department Meeting
In the afternoon, Lai Qixiao came to his part-time cafe on time and changed into the uniform of a waiter. He relied on clothes and horses and saddles. On weekdays, Lai Qixiao would change his image when working, simply took care of his miscellaneous hair and put on a pair of slightly less rustic glasses.
In addition to his refreshing dress, Lai Qixiao also changed his behavior in time. When facing guests, he no longer buried his face in the shadows, but instead gave him a spring breeze-like smile. Such a simple change restricted the charm he covered, which was enough to win the favor of the customers who came here to relax.
Compared with Dr. Agasa's various strange inventions, this part-time job as a waiter is relatively safe, but it is less fun. However, for Lai Qixiao, observing the guests coming and going after work is also a pleasure.
And today, such a guest caught his attention.
The lady looks about 20 years old. Considering the influence of her makeup, Lai Qixiao speculated that her actual age was around 30. She had been in the store for half an hour, sitting alone in the reserved position, as if waiting for someone.
She had heavy makeup on her face that was not matched with her temperament, but she could not hide her red and swollen eyes. I don’t know who was willing to make this lily-like beauty cry.
A moment later, a tall and handsome man walked straight towards the lady, with a shy smile on his face that was incompatible with his outfit.
The two of them met and joked for a few words, and their relationship looked quite good. But somehow, Lai Qixiao always felt that the two of them, who looked like a tangled look, were hiding some secrets. The lady's smile seemed a little depressed, and the man was as unnatural as if wearing a mask.
Lai Qixiao is not a detective and has no intention of exploring the secrets buried by others. However, as a ghost of the monster, he is very interested in the complex changes in the guests' emotions. Now, it is obvious that the couple's conversation has involved personal privacy, so Lai Qixiao decided to give up and send the refreshments and coffee they ordered, and then no longer observe them.
However, while delivering the refreshment, he accidentally heard the name of the lady with swollen eyes - Sayuri.
Otherwise, let's take a look at it last? Lai Qixiao couldn't help but hold her breath and stared at the unnatural sweet man and woman. But unexpectedly, what was reflected in Lai Qixiao's eyes was a swaying red light like a flame.
The bright red fire, which represents the uncontrollable desire, lingers on the man with an unnatural expression. Unlike the slightly red light on Director Luohe, the man's desire has clearly gone out of control, which means he is also terminally ill.
Lai Qixiao turned around and sighed secretly. He realized that the monster thief Phantom had another job to do.
…………
Officer Meguri sorted out the documents to use at today's meeting, arranged the work that had not been completed to his subordinates, and then went to the conference hall with his round belly. His fat body was not caused by laziness, but due to overwork caused by years of busyness and stress.
His wife was deeply worried about her increasingly hardworking husband and often urged him to rest for a while, but the conscientious Officer Memu was always on the front line of work, although he was secretly sad every time he saw a photo of his young and heroic.
The case to be discussed at today's meeting was the "Phantom of the Strange Thieves" incident he had previously investigated. The newly emerged monster thief sent three trailers in just a few weeks, causing a stir inside the police.
As expected, when the drug trafficking crime of Tsugawa Hideji, the director of the former Mihua Library, was disclosed, the influence of the monster thief's Phantom will spread to all walks of life. The repentance of the famous scriptist Ikeda Tomokako must have aroused the interest of a large number of media.
Under such circumstances, the Police Department held a special combat meeting on the "Phantom of the Strange Thieves".
Officer Memu pushed the door and sat down. The person who presided over the meeting was the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Chief, Minister of Criminal Department, and the old boss of Officer Memu before he became the police department.
Below him, the search for the management officer of the first class, Keihara Matsumoto and the current boss of the police officer Megumi; the remaining one is the management officer of the second class, Cha Kanki Taro, whom he is relatively unfamiliar with.
Is this incident jointly organized by the First Class of Search and Second Class of Search? Officer Megumi was secretly shocked. It seemed that the Metropolitan Police Department attached more importance to this strange thief than he thought.
"Hello, I'm Megu who searched for a lesson." Police Officer Megu extended his hand to an officer in the side seat, secretly enviing the other party's undisguised figure.
Judging from his appearance, I am about the same age as him, why do I not maintain a good figure? Officer Megu looked at his erect belly and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
By the way, there is also Brother Maori! That guy obviously has a much worse living habit than mine, but his figure is not out of shape at all! It's really unfair!
"Hello, I am Nakamori from the Search Section 2. Please give me some advice." The other party shook hands enthusiastically with Megu. Like Officer Megu, he could roughly guess that this case might require the search Section 1 and Section 2 to handle it together.
And by then, the two of them will likely form a partner.
"You are the Nakamoto Police Officer Nakamoto who specializes in pursuing Kidd? I've heard of you!" Officer Memu remembered the other party's related resume. The name Kidd is much more influential in the Metropolitan Police Department than the fledgling monster thief. Even the Nakamoto Police Officer Nakamoto who specializes in pursuing Kidd has become a celebrity.
"It's right here." Police Officer Nakamori nodded proudly, "Since eighteen years ago, the case of Kidd's Kidd has been the responsibility of me. Unexpectedly, after Kidd's activities restarted this year, a new monster thief appeared! The world is really not peaceful!"
"That's to say! The world is indeed not peaceful now, and my firm's work has increased recently!" A careless voice suddenly penetrated into the conversation between the two police officers. Officer Megu turned his head and saw a person who shouldn't have appeared here.
"Brother Maori! Why are you here too?"
"Oh, Officer Meguri, long time no see!" Kogoro Mori slashed the back of his head happily. It seemed that it was a very honor for him to attend an internal meeting in the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Don't look at me with such a surprised expression. Don't forget that I am the first discoverer of the Phantom of the Monster Thieves. And this Saturday, my daughter also witnessed the entire process of the Phantom of the Monster Thieves committing the crime with her own eyes! It's natural that I was invited here to attend the meeting!"
"...Oh, I hope you can really provide some useful clues. By the way, I saw the officials on the stage. Brother Maori, don't be confused this time!"
Chapter completed!
