Chapter 22 fourth quarter

Kayo first resorted to a "trick". In some countries, detectives have legal arrest powers and are able to participate in searches on an equal footing with the police; sadly, in Japan, detectives do not have such a status. Of course, the investigation of criminal cases is even more delicate.In particular, the Japanese police are recognized as "excellent" organizations. If their enthusiasm is spoiled, things will be difficult.This is the same reason that "competent bosses" are difficult to get along with. At this time, how to successfully get on line with the police has become an important indicator for distinguishing whether a detective agency is good or not.

The action taken by Xiao Jiadai was to call a retired policeman who was still in charge of the heinous crime investigation team in the first search section of the Metropolitan Police Department half a year ago, and asked him to contact the investigation team of the "Kinxin Coffee" robber murder case on his behalf. Having said that, it's not that I can find out the details of the search, but it's just like getting a letter of introduction, proving that I am not a suspicious person, and please take the time to meet. In this way, thanks to the intermediary arrangement of the retired policeman, Kayo was able to meet with the criminal policeman in charge of the "Kinxin Coffee" case, thus confirming Miss Youhui's statement.She didn't doubt Miss Youhui, but just reconfirmed whether there were any mistakes or misunderstandings in the details.

Kayo obtained further information on the current situation of the person involved in the incident, and left the police station with brisk steps.The police's response was kind. That's because what Hasumi Office wanted to investigate was not directly related to the search operation. On the other hand, it was also thanks to Xiao Kayo's good response.Police officers are human after all. While I was waiting in the parking lot, I found a man following Kayo-chan pretending to be nonchalant.The man was tall, with an oval face, and was wearing a high-end windbreaker that was well-tailored.

Even though he was still young, he had fierce eyes—if that was too much to describe, then it would be better to say that his eyes were sharp.The other party was probably a policeman or a gangster, or a journalist; but criminal policemen don't wear such high-end coats, and gangsters don't dress so plainly. It's paparazzi.I barked to remind little Kayo to pay attention, and then growled at the man.If the other party can understand the language of our dog clan, what he will hear is: "Hey, little brother, what can you do?" As soon as little Kayo turned his head, the young paparazzi surrendered after two or three strokes. He put on a flattering smile and said:

"Yeah, what a nice dog." "Thank you." Xiao Jiadai replied, staring at the other party intently.The man in the trench coat twitched: "Actually, I heard a little bit of your conversation." Therefore, journalists who run the police line should not be ignored.I know a ministerial policeman who wears the same tie every time he encounters a major criminal case; after reporters saw through this habit, he made headlines several times before him, causing the police to suffer a lot. "this is my name card." Kayo accepted the business card and read it aloud.Of course, it was read to me as a bodyguard.

"Takashi Okumura, Social Department, Tokyo Daily News Agency" "Nice meeting. Are you Ms. Kayoko from Hasumi Detective Agency?" What a guy who doesn't know what politeness is. "You're investigating the case of Uno Toshihiko, right? Actually, I have some doubts about that case too..." Kayo-chan opened the driver's door. "How? Do you want to exchange information? Anyway, we are chasing the same message." Okumura said, pointing to the door of the passenger seat, with an expression of "Can I get in the car?"Kayo-chan showed the way behind him like a tour guide.

"Taxi." She just dropped one sentence, then sat in the driver's seat and started the engine. Today is very different from yesterday, it is a sunny day.The tires violently splashed black puddles of snowmelt.The first stop is the "Qinxin Coffee" head office. After the death of the president, "Qinxin Coffee" fell into a state of bankruptcy, and the company was empty.We've come to scout the site and meet with the caretakers. The car was parked and we headed to the back door. The rear door makes a poor first impression. Miss Youhui said "the back door is very secluded", and she was too polite.It is impossible for a first-time visitor to find the back door.The back door is right at the back of the building which is fine, but to get outside you have to go through the large car park next to the building.

Not only that, when the back door was opened, there was a narrow passage that could barely accommodate one person, dark and smelly of oil.The fire door at the end leads directly to the front entrance, and the other door leads to the stairwell. "Ah Zheng, what do you think?" Kayo-chan closed the heavy door and said in a low voice. "It is indeed possible to avoid people's eyes and ears... But if I am a female employee working in this building, I don't want to walk here alone at night, maybe someone will ambush here—" Walking outside, Kayo looked up at the warehouse standing opposite the building. The smooth wall had no windows.There is no sunlight here at all, and the snow from last night melted into ice.

"Even if you make a little noise, no one will hear you." I think so.It's dangerous here. "I heard that the business vehicles of 'Qinxin Coffee' are all parked in the parking lot next door." It was only when we heard the sound that we realized that Okumura was catching up. He staggered as if he was afraid of slipping. "In other words, after returning to the company at night, park the car and go directly to the back door. Salespeople usually return to the company between 7:30 and 8 in the evening." The main business item of "Qinxin Coffee" is the wholesale of coffee beans in coffee shops, and it also includes maintenance of coffee machines and other businesses.

"Recently, there are many coffee shops that are open late at night. In order to serve customers, they often stay late. After all, your driving skills are really good. It took me a lot of effort to catch up. For a woman, it is really amazing. " Okumura smiled smugly.Although the teeth are white, it is a pity that the skin is too thick. "Thank you for the compliment." Kayo-chan responded coldly and led me to the front entrance.Okumura followed. "I am very worried about this case. Although it seems to be an accidental incident at first glance, the crime scene is too complete-whether it is the back door or the stolen money."

I sniffed around and moved forward, and Okumura's eloquent words reached my ears.In fact, I also have the same doubts. The administrator is a middle-aged man in his fifties with a slightly fat body, and he seems to be very hardworking.This old building can be kept clean, it should be credited to this man. Kayo and I glared at Okumura, and he stayed outside obediently. Xiao Kayo claimed to be a friend of Toshihiko Uno's student days, and said that he only heard about this murder case recently. He didn't expect that his friend would commit robbery and murder. He was very surprised, so he came here to take a look. Think the company has gone out of business. The administrator who was mopping the floor at the entrance stopped and answered Kayo-chan: "In this company, the president monopolized the power. If the president dies, the company is over." "I heard that the president is very capable and personable. How could Uno do such a thing?" "Mr. Uno seems quite honest. The young man recently, I really don't know what he is thinking." The administrator waved his big palm.Xiao Jiadai asked in a low voice: "I heard that he borrowed a lot of money?" "That's right. I said Miss, if people spend their days and nights on borrowed money, it's all over." "I also heard that he quarreled with the president over money. I really can't imagine that he would do such a thing." "They were so loud! I could hear them in the hallway." "Oh, really?" "The president yelled 'There's no reason to pay the two million'. Well, the president is very strict—" The administrator suddenly looked outside in surprise, and he found Okumura lying on the automatic door. "You are really annoying!" The administrator said to him, and immediately looked at Xiao Kayo with suspicious eyes.We had no choice but to retreat quickly. "I'm sorry." Okumura said. "In order to investigate this matter, you made yourself so disgusted by others?" "I checked very carefully." Little Kayo stopped, as if thinking about something.Okumura seized the opportunity: "How about it, do you want to cooperate? You will definitely not suffer." Then, the two asked aloud together: "Why are you looking into this?" "What are you looking for?" Okumura smiled. "I'll answer first. I can't accept the current answer. I found out from a staff member that Uno is indeed short of money, but he is very happy without money." Kayo-chan got nervous, and so did I.After a moment, she spoke: "We are investigating Mr. Toshihiko Uno's reason for raising money." Okumura nodded solemnly. "Yeah, that's not clear either. It looks like we're kindred spirits, aren't we?" We got back to the car, and Okumura looked at the passenger door with another "Can I get in?" expression.Little Kayo nodded. However, the moment he opened the door, I got into the passenger seat first. Young people, sit back! Little Kayo laughed softly. "It's called Ah Zheng, and it's my partner." Okumura sat in the back seat and said, "What a jealous partner." I want you to mind your own business.
