Chapter 671 - Mille-feuille
August 21, night, Metropolitan Police Department building.
"Sister-in-law?" Renzaburo Shiratori, who was about to leave, looked at Twilight in front of him in surprise. "How do you ......"
"Ah, it's a white bird!" Twilight Bi carried a bag and looked at Shiratori Renzaburo with a smile. "If I remember correctly, you should have just been officially promoted from the police department to the police department, right?"
"yes," Shiratori nodded hurriedly. "You're here ......"
"He seems to be going to stay up all night today, so I'll bring him some supper." Twilight shook the bento bag in her hand and said with a warm smile. "You guys seem to be working on a big case lately? I see he's been working overtime a lot lately? ”
"yes," Officer Shiratori smiled wryly. "Recently, the National Police Agency has given us a lot of strange tasks, so many of the key personnel of the Metropolitan Police Department are working overtime - Officer Twilight himself has taken on a lot of work, so I can't go back until now."
"I get it," Twilight nodded with a faint smile. "So, I'll go up first?"
"Of course, the head of the Twilight section is working up there!" Shiratori nodded hurriedly.
"Okay," Twilight nodded again, and then passed Officer Shiratori off work and walked upstairs.
After sighing at the virtue of Twilight Bi and the blessing of Officer Twilight, Shiratori Renzaburo, who was still single, walked towards the place where he parked. But as soon as he got into the car, his phone rang - the call was from Gregory.
This guy ...... Isn't it the forensic department? I shouldn't have any overlap with my position, right...... If he really wanted to say something, even if he wanted to report something, he should have to go to Officer Twilight, right?
With such doubts, Officer Shiratori answered the phone.
"Hey, Mr. Gregory?"
"I'm Gregory," Grigory's voice on the other side was serious. "Can you reach Officer Twilight?"
"Can't you get in touch?" Officer Shiratori frowned. "I just got off work, at least he should be at the office now-"
"I might be able to get in touch with him, but I'm afraid he won't be able to accept the news," Gregory said. "The results of the examination of the body of an unnamed female who were found in the park that we received at noon today are out...... Although the body had been severely damaged, we were able to use the tooth mark records to find a match from the newly established dental data criminal tracking system......"
"What do you mean by that Officer Twilight knows the deceased?" Shiratori frowned. "Is that our colleague?"
"No, but it's worse for Officer Twilight," Grigory said after a moment's hesitation. "Because according to our test results, the deceased is his wife, Mrs. Twilight."
"What?" Officer Shiratori's first reaction was not shock, but laughter. "Wait a minute, Mr. Gregory, I just met Madame, and she just came to deliver a bento to Officer Twilight!"
"Deliver a bento?" After a moment of silence, Grigory repeated. "You mean, you saw Mrs. Twilight, alive, delivering a lunch box to the police department at the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"Of course, I think your information must be wrong!" Officer Shiratori replied with a smile. "She was talking to me just now!"
"Would you like to contact Officer Twilight and ask him to confirm the authenticity of that lady?" Gregory, however, did not seem to give up his doubts. "If I remember correctly, in July, your Matsumoto management officer was also transferred, did any of you find a problem at that time?"
The words "......" did shake Officer Shiratori's previous determination, because the Metropolitan Police Department still does not know how the other party managed to make the man who was found dead in Tokyo Tower complete the cross-dressing in such an exaggerated way, imitating Officer Twilight's face: of course, they knew that it was done through a human skin mask, but because the other party died from a large-caliber sniper rifle headshot, they were unable to find any meaningful skull fragments, and in the end they could only assume that the other party looked like Matsumoto.
But if the other party does have a very good ability to disguise......
"Okay, I..." Officer Shiratori put his hand on the car door, and finally chose to close the car door again. I'll check with Officer Twilight......"
……
National Police Agency Work Area, 4th Floor Confidential Room. (See Chapter 357 for the previous situation, Matsumoto Kiyoshi came to investigate.) )
Twilight stood in front of the cabinet with her elbow on her elbow, holding a booklet in her hands in the two glove pockets that reached into the cabinet—the National Police Agency's intelligence management is very strict, and the filing cabinet is buried deep in multiple vaults, and if you want to read the documents inside without all the keys, you must enter the number to transport the information in the corresponding position in the filing cabinet to the operation cabinet through a mechanical device to read it. (The operation cabinet is similar to the isolation cabin, that is, there are two operating hand holes on the tempered glass cabinet)
[Friendly spies], that's what the pamphlet says.
Due to the constant addition, the pamphlet is divided into two parts, the first part is strictly organized like a dictionary, and the second part is added as it is discovered, which results in the rest of the content being extremely disordered except for the earliest part of the spies, and it is impossible to find it at all. And in such a place, it is extremely dangerous to spend an extra second on the investigation of these spies.
But does she need to make an inquiry? You just need to memorize it all!
Placing the lunch bag on the table next to her, Twilight held the left cover of the booklet in one hand and pinched it in her hand, opening the booklet to the first page while bending the book with the tip of her right finger against the footer of the right paper. Then, with a slight release of her fingertips, the pamphlet's pages flicked up rhythmically, flashing each page briefly but steadily in front of Twilight. Although this is hardly enough space for the average person to read, it is enough for her: just a dozen seconds of fast reading is enough for her to open the entire booklet.
Closing the booklet, Twilight returns the booklet to the filing cabinet the same way it was, pulling a folding fan from the lunch bag, only to hear rather chaotic footsteps outside the door.
[At this time...... Shouldn't it? Twilight looked in the direction of the door, a little confused. [It's already so late, why are there so many restless sounds...... Could it be that there is some big case? Appearing at this time, it can't be aimed at yourself, right? 】
Just when she was so worried, the footsteps outside the door stopped.
"......" Twilight narrowed her eyes slightly, and after shaking the folding fan, she let the rectangular fan in her hand decorated with six colors come into her eyes.
The task now ...... He escaped alive.
