That night, when Kazuma was driving to Okura, Inspector Kato got up from his lover, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and threw a few "ice cubes" into it.
This kind of ice cube is a special sedative. Inspector Kato doesn't know the specific ingredients. He only knows that it will give him a feeling of complete relaxation—similar to alcohol.
He just loves a glass of whiskey with ice thrown in after getting off a lover.
Just as he was about to enjoy this cup, the phone rang.
Kato picked up the phone with a dissatisfied face: "I'm Kato, Moses Moses?"
Someone on the phone said in a low voice, "Tiryu and Ma went to Okura. He may have gone after the rumor about Kitamachi's impotence."
Kato sneered: "Hmph, there's no other way, so I went to investigate because it was a clue. This Kiryu doesn't seem to be doing well."
"Is it really just like that?" The person on the other end of the phone had an uncertain tone.
"Otherwise, what else could it be? Actually, I thought I could win over this guy. After all, if it wasn't for him a few years ago, Shiratori wouldn't have been able to find such a good opportunity to kill Tsuda with one shot. It's a pity, since he wants to follow his right path , then let him experience the cruelty of this society."
But the other side of the phone said: "I'd better go over and watch, there's an unexpected problem."
"Okay, you go and watch."
"I hope you have a good time tonight." The other side hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
Superintendent Kato put down the phone, at this time his lover stood up, walked to sit opposite her, raised her foot and gently rubbed his ankle.
"Is it work again?" she asked.
Kato waved his hand: "A little insignificant problem."
"Speaking of which, you are going to be in the police station in this life, right?"
"Soon, if there is no accident, it will be the next personnel adjustment."
The personnel adjustments of police officers above the police department in the Metropolitan Police Department are generally adjusted at a specific time each year. If there is no promotion after the time, generally they can only wait for the next year.
"Really? I thought you were just going to be the Chief of Police. After all, you have been promoted to Chief of Police for so many years."
At this time, Kato suddenly remembered that he was promoted from the Minister of Criminal Affairs to the Superintendent of Police because of the shot that pierced Tsuda's eyebrows from the Shiratori police department.
"What a wonderful fate." He murmured.
His lover asked with a look of surprise: "What fate? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to another girl?"
"How come, now I can't serve a wife and a lover." Kato said with a wry smile, "I'm talking about Kiryu Kazuma."
"Oh?" The lover was very interested. She took out a slender lady's cigarette and inserted it into the filter mouth, took out the lighter and lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled a big smoke ring, and then continued, "You mean Is Kiryu Kazuma, the nearest celebrity of the Metropolitan Police Department?”
"Who else but him?"
"Recently, many young girls in our store have become obsessed with Kiryu and Ma, as if he is a new male idol introduced by Johnny."
"So popular?" Inspector Kato was stunned, "But it's normal, young and handsome, and doing things like a hero, it's normal to fascinate little girls. Have you ever been fascinated by Kiryu?"
"I still like men who are more successful in their careers." The lover blew out another smoke ring, "I heard that Kiryu Kazuma drove an accident car because he had no money, and he couldn't give me an expensive fur coat , and can’t buy me a Louis Vuitton bag.”
"You acted so money-worshipping in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will leave you?"
"You won't." The lover said firmly.
Inspector Kato shrugged.
The lover asked again: "What happened to Kiryu and Ma?"
"He chose a thorny path."
"Really? Then he is Kato-san your enemy?"
"It should be. Don't worry, he will soon experience the cruelty of reality. In an environment where everyone is covered in filth, a clean person will not have another ending other than becoming a martyr."
Kato paused, and continued: "Soon Kiryu and Ma will find out that everyone is his enemy, and he stands on the opposite side of the police group."
The lover was smoking a cigarette leisurely, and suddenly said: "According to you, the Japanese police are all bad guys?"
"No, the grassroots police should still have people with the belief of protecting one side's peace, but most of them have long been dyed into chaos by this dye vat." Kato said, "Unless those left-wing ideals can really be realized. , carry out thorough social reforms in Japan, otherwise the country is basically hopeless.”
"How can you be sure that the left wing cannot succeed?" Lover asked curiously.
Kato laughed loudly: "Of course they can't succeed, because to succeed, they must send the emperor to the guillotine. In history, this kind of change basically killed the old monarch. Russia killed the tsar, and France killed Louis. Sixteen was sent to the guillotine."
"If it was before the war, I would have reported you to Tegoco." The lover smiled.
"It's a pity that this is not before the war. Even if it was before the war, you would probably be reluctant to part with the Louis Vuitton I gave you."
"Where did Louis Vuitton come from before the war?" The lover took another big puff of cigarette and asked again, "That Kiryu Kazuma actually refused your corruption?"
"Yes, the gold watch his representative gave him was pawned at the pawnshop."
"how do you know?"
"Don't underestimate our intelligence network." Kato played a sloppy eye, and ignored the fact that there was a positioning device in the watch.
"Maybe they just happened to be short of money." The lover said while puffing out smoke rings, "After all, the Tongyu Police Department is very short of money."
"He knew that we gave him the gold watch as a signal to him to join the gang. If he joined us, he would soon be rich. It is impossible for him not to know this.
"But he still took the gold watch to the pawnshop, and now he is still persistently tracking down the traitor we just dealt with. He is determined to become the white moonlight of the Metropolitan Police Department."
At this time, Kato's lover stood up, sat beside him, and got into his arms while coquettishly saying, "Is it okay to tell me these things?"
"Do you think your words can be used as evidence in court? How do you think the judge will judge a mother who speaks ill of a high-ranking police officer who will soon become one of the twenty police officers?"
"Then what if I record it?" My lover Sang said in a naughty tone.
"When the time comes, your tapes will be deemed fake by the police experts. No, you won't be so stupid. You know that your arms can't twist your thighs. But Kiryu and Ma don't seem to understand it."
The lover smiled and said, "But, it's pretty cool to be alone against a terrifying enemy that is impossible to defeat, isn't it?"
"He may not be so courageous. He may feel that he is hugging Chief Inspector Onoda's lap. It's a pity, he didn't understand that Sarushima-san, who we sent to deliver the watch, was recommended by Onoda. his.
"He sold the watch, which made Onoda feel bad."
Lover Sang said: "It seems that Kiryu and Ma should be inseparable in the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"He is in the stinky ditch of the Metropolitan Police Department, and he wants to get out of the mud without getting dirty, so how can he get away with it?" Kato showed a contemptuous smile, "Even Officer Shiratori, who he regards as an ally, is also ours." People. Another ally of his, reporter Takashi Hanabou, did not take advantage of us. As long as he fights for it, he will become one of us. As for that Jidao Jinshan Pingta, hmph, I really think Jidao is Jidao The kind of loyal person in the movie?"
After hearing this, the lover choked out his half-smoked cigarette, stood up and went to the wine cabinet to fetch two glasses of wine, and then suggested, "Cheers to your future victory."
Only then did Kato realize that he had finished drinking the whiskey with ice cubes in his hand, so he put down the wine glass with only ice cubes left, took the glass handed over by the woman, and clinked glasses.
After gulping down the contents of the cup, Kato felt a little drowsy, probably because the sedative had worked.
He spread out on the sofa, looked at the ceiling, and let his mind sink into the mist.
After an unknown amount of time, Kato was awakened by the sound of the phone. He sat up and found that his lover had gone to bed.
The ringing of the phone echoed in the empty house, and there was a hint of horror movie atmosphere out of thin air.
Kato's scalp tingled for a while, he was actually quite afraid of those recent horror movies, what about the midnight bell.
Of course he won't say it.
He resisted the goosebumps on his back and picked up the phone: "Hello?"
The voice of the person who just reported Kiryu and Ma's movements to Kato came from the phone: "Kato-san, that's not right. This Kiryu and Ma went to an izakaya after running to Okura. At first I thought he was asking for directions. , As a result, he went in and stayed for a while before coming out, and immediately went back home after coming out.
"I think this is too unusual, so after Kiryu left, I went into the izakaya to investigate the situation, and found that the general of the izakaya was very vigilant, and his mouth was beyond imagination.
"I have a bad premonition that Kiryu and Mata may have some key evidence left by Kitamachi."
At this time, Kato was completely awake because of the atmosphere of the horror movie just now, and he immediately instructed: "Check the background of the owner of this izakaya, and see what relationship he has with Kitamachi. In addition, let Shiratori go to Check out Kiryu's tone."
"Shiratori? Can he still be trusted? He was Kiryu's companion at the time when he lost the welfare technology Yen. Be careful, an idealist like Kiryu often has inexplicable sympathizers. Idealism sometimes has Attractiveness beyond your imagination."
In fact, Kiryu and Ma are really not idealists. He really only sold the gold watch because his sister seduced him with an air conditioner.
However, Kato does not know this, and neither does Kato's "friends".
They all thought that Tongyu and Ma were idealists who were determined to clean up all the filth in the police world.
Kato thought for a while, nodded and said: "It makes sense, don't let Shiratori get involved in this matter, so that he won't let Kiryu know. Keep an eye on Kiryu, if Kiryu goes to some place where you can store things, whether it's a rental locker at the station , or the luggage storage office at the station, or a bank that offers a safe deposit box rental business, report to me immediately."
"I'm afraid that he has already got it." Said the other side of the phone.
Kato shook his head: "No, Kitamachi is the kind of very cautious guy, he won't leave things directly in the home of ordinary people. He must be worried about things being stolen... Well, yes, with Kitachi's character, it should be It's a bank safe."
The other side of the phone immediately replied: "Understood, I will pay attention to whether Kiryu and Ma have gone to the bank recently."
"Kiryu and Ma's family is in charge of the account books, his sister Chiyoko," Kato said again, "He can't go to the bank, as long as he goes to the bank, we should assume that he got the things."
"Do you want me to organize to snatch things back?"
"No, that's Kiryu and Ma, snatch something from him, be careful not to eat and walk around."
"I might as well give it a try." The person on the other end of the phone replied, "We also have masters here. Even if we fight with Kiryu and Ma with swords, we won't necessarily lose."
Kato: "Don't force yourself. That guy even defeated Soichiro Uesugi."
"It's just borrowing the electricity from the signal light."
"I said, don't force it." Kato raised his voice.
"Understood." The other side replied vaguely and unwillingly.
"That's it." Kato put down the phone and sighed long.
He thought of Kitamachi's face again.
Kato had always thought that Kitamachi would be completely his own, but he didn't expect that this person would suddenly start going against everyone.
It all probably started when Kitamachi's wife had sex with someone else.
However, it is unbelievable to betray the entire interest group just for a woman.
Or did something else happen somewhere else that touched the Kitamachi Police Department
However, Kato will never know the reason now, because the Kitamachi Police Department is already a dead man, a suicide.
In the Showa era, the whole society looked down on suicides, thinking that these people would commit suicide because they were too cowardly.
There was no such thing as caring for potential suicidal people in Japanese society in the Showa era.
Since the news of Kitachi's suicide was announced, the entire public opinion has been mostly negative. Only a few left-wing tabloids have questioned whether this means that there is something wrong with the system within the Metropolitan Police Department.
No one would sympathize with Bei Ding, this matter should have stopped here.
I didn't expect Kiryu and Ma to come out.
"Damn it," Kato thought, "when I knew it and told them to kill people, don't throw it into the sea, but it floated to the Odaiba side. It would be good to make it jump off a cliff in the mountains. Just now "Crossing Tiancheng Mountain" "It's so popular, if you find a prostitute to be buried with you and die for love, then it's over."
In this way, Kiryu and Ma will not get involved in this matter.
At this time, Kato regretted quite a lot. As the person who actually ordered the implementation, if something went wrong, he would be held responsible.
At that time, my dream of being promoted to a police officer might be postponed again.
