Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 34 Funeral agency!

   There are two people who also appeared last year and the year before?

   Satoru Aragaki and Taku Morita were taken aback for a short while, then put their heads together at the same time.

   "Still can't see clearly what do you think?" Morita Taku turned his head and asked.

  Xia Li's current favorability for Higashinohara is still between "seeing profit and being open to money", and subconsciously wants to tear things down, "I can't see clearly either. Then who can see clearly."

  At this time, Satoru Aragaki rubbed his chin, stared at the screen and said slowly, "I didn't notice it just now, but when I look closely, I feel that their outlines are quite similar."

   "The boss said so, I think it's quite similar." Xia Li nodded immediately.

  She is still in the internship period and must seize every opportunity to perform.

  But to be honest, the video recording is from the surveillance in the northwest corner of the intersection, and the overall picture quality is rough and blurred due to the influence of shooting distance and outdoor weather.

  When I was just looking at the video, everyone’s attention was on the person marked in the red circle who was about to commit suicide, so naturally it was difficult to notice other people around.

However, Taku Morita, who came from the second search department, was slightly stunned, but shook his head, "Even if that's the case, the daily routes of most office workers in New Tokyo actually rarely change. Shooting the same two people at the intersection doesn't mean anything."

   Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Higashinohara, who had been staring at the auto-playing car video recorder, suddenly spoke again.

   "No, not just two.

   is seven people. "

   Higashinohara paused and said, "Although these seven people did not appear at the same time in the surveillance videos of these accidents, at least three people will appear in each accident."

   "At most once. All seven occur."

  His pupils flickered slightly, like a pixel-level resolution, and he stretched out his hand to point out all seven people without any mistakes.

That situation is like a variety show of "Super Brain" in the previous life of Aquamarine. Contestants are required to find out the tens of thousands of small color blocks from two Rubik's cube walls that are densely packed like a flower screen. One part of the difference.

  Someone deciphered that the contestants used parallel crossed eyes to overlap the two walls visually, and the different places would flash to successfully complete the task.

What Higashinohara has to do is to find the same point in the blurred picture quality, but he is not that complicated, he directly opened the first sight of [Nine Eyes and Six Paths], the Nine Eyes that can even see through the energy construction of spells Liudao finds the same passers-by far easier than imagined.

seven people?

  Taku Morita was stunned for a moment.

   But then, following the direction of Higashinohara's finger, he shifted his attention from the person who committed suicide in the video to other passers-by around him.

   Counting silently in my heart.

  The surprise on his face also increased.

  Lastly, I saw the monitoring of the latest suicide case at the Mubetsu intersection two days ago, when all the seven passers-by appeared on both sides of the intersection in the screen, silently watching the smiling woman walk into the track

  The next second,

  The tram roared by.

  In an instant, as if getting an electric shock, Morita Taku's whole body felt like his scalp was tingling!

  Hoo-!

   "they.they"

  Taku Morita pointed at the screen and was speechless.

  Satoru Aragaki next to him also spoke.

   "These passers-by appear at different times. They appear in the morning, noon and evening, and are not affected by the weather at all. They are even rain or shine. They don't look like passers-by, but they are."

   Higashinohara was silent for a moment, then continued, "Witness of a certain ceremony."

  After the voice fell, the car suddenly fell into silence.

   A smile appeared on Aragaki Satoru's face, "Hehe, I didn't expect it to be tricky. It's amazing, Higashino-kun, you can discover all of this."

   Morita Takuya was also surprised, but he heard Aragaki Satoru mention that Higashinohara is a first-year student at Takehara Minami Private Academy, and it seems to be a gray normal speed ability of talent sequence 98.

   I didn't expect the observation skills to be so good.

  That is really a personal talent.

   Aragaki Satoru smacked his lips, and said thoughtfully, "Since it is very likely that it is not a suicide, according to the situation, the case may have to be transferred to the third investigation team, right?"

  The third investigation team is New Tokyo’s organization that is responsible for handling cases involving third-type ability users. Although it is affiliated to the Metropolitan Police Department, its internal positions and ranks are actually parallel to several departments of the Metropolitan Police Department.

  Taku Morita nodded, "That's right, at present, the biggest possibility is that people with psychic abilities commit the crime. It still seems to be organized and premeditated, but what is their motivation and purpose?"

  Psychic ability users are not mentally ill.

At the very least, most of them are normal people. In a big city like New Tokyo, where the number of capable people accounts for a large proportion, the control of capable people is very strict. In addition, the thirteen divisions of the third investigation team are in charge of the New Tokyo Police Force. It is very rare for people with abilities to take risks to harm ordinary people.

  Witness to the ceremony?

   Aragaki Satoru recalled this sentence, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered something.

After pondering for a moment, he patted Morita Taku on the shoulder, "Okay, Taku, you can take the video to the person in charge of the first search section and ask them to transfer the case to the third investigation team, just give it to us too." Buy some time."

  Taku Morita immediately thought of something when he heard the words, and immediately warned, "You just said that the crime may involve a person with abilities and will be transferred to the third investigation team. Don't mess around."

   Aragaki Satoru had already opened the co-pilot's door, and said while pushing the person out, "Don't worry! Master, I never mess around, don't you understand that?"

   Morita Takumi was speechless for a moment.

  My special meow is too clear to be relieved.

  But he knew Satoru Aragaki's character, otherwise he wouldn't have resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department back then, so he could only trot back and hope that the truth would be found out soon after the case was transferred to the third team.

   After re-starting the road, Satoru Aragaki drove the car but did not go home, but headed west in the opposite direction.

   "Should we continue to investigate?" Higashinohara in the back seat couldn't help asking.

Aragaki Satoru said with a smile while driving, "Of course, you and Xia Li are both capable people. I thought that if it was an ordinary case, would it be a little overkill to hire you, but now I don't have to worry about it hahaha Is Li-chan confident?"

Xia Li has been beaten by the society for so long in New Tokyo, and she is no longer the simple country girl in Okinawa Prefecture. Hearing this, she immediately patted the tablet on her chest and said, "Report to the boss! I am very confident! I will definitely do it." Do well!"

   "Hahaha! Sure enough, he is full of vigor and youth!" Aragaki Satoru said with a smile, "It must be the same for Higashino-kun. I am relieved to see that you are so confident."

and many more!

  I am confident with a hammer!

  Although he could barely make out that the same passerby appeared at the scene of the accident in the surveillance video of the intersection.

   But most of those people have blurred faces, and it would take a lot of effort for the Metropolitan Police Department’s Kesouyan to use portrait recognition and comparison, let alone find a needle in a haystack in a metropolis with a population of tens of millions like New Tokyo.

   Aragaki Satoru is very optimistic.

  The two drove west all the way, and soon, they went deep into the center of Shinjuku District—there was Kabukicho in front of them, but there was still no bright neon lights during the day and night.

  Xia Li leaned against the car window beside her, her big round eyes looked at the ramen shops, barbecue shops and izakayas lined up on the street, she secretly sucked her saliva and turned her head to smile until her face was almost blooming.

   "Ah! Is the boss serving dinner so soon?"

   Dinner?

   Higashinohara, who had nothing to do along the way, entered his mind again [Crime Handbook] Masato Kusao was performing "sword training in the skull" during the profile drawing of Masato Kusao's characters, and looked down at his watch when he heard Xia Li's words.

  It's only past nine o'clock.

   You just finished your breakfast and you are going to eat again?

  No time to complain about this Tianhu girl.

After these two days of hard training, Higashinohara Kodachi's two-sword swordsmanship level has been raised to the elementary level (4/10), and I believe it will not be long before he can break through to the intermediate level of swordsmanship. I don't know what will happen when I perform those secret skills and mysteries kind of change.

   Speaking of it, Higashinohara doesn’t seem to be very fast, but compared to those swordsmen who have been training hard since childhood, regardless of the severe cold and heat, his improvement speed is like a heifer riding a rocket.

   "Haha, it's still early for dinner, but I know there's a good ramen shop here."

   Aragaki Satoru, who was driving in front, laughed optimistically, "I'll invite everyone to go to the team building to celebrate and commemorate the first operation of our Aragaki Detective Agency. You can eat Xiali sauce openly!"

"Great!"

  Xia Li stomped her little feet excitedly, this was the first time someone invited her to open her mouth to eat!

  The boss is really a nice guy!

  Sister Aragaki really introduced a good job to herself, and she doesn't want to go back to her hometown anymore!

   Entering Kabukicho 1st Street, Aragaki Satoru found a road parking lot and parked his bun, and then asked the two to follow, muttering that the parking fee here is too expensive.

   Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, the cell phone in Satoru Aragaki's coat pocket rang. When he took it out, he saw that it was the call from his apprentice Morita Taku who had just left at the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department in the morning, and he pressed the answer button without thinking.

   "Hey! Mmmm. Huh? Is that so"

   A moment later, Aragaki Satoru hung up the phone, but his face was a little ugly.

   "What's wrong boss?"

  Xia Li carefully approached and asked a question.

   Could it be that you are not invited to dinner?

Aragaki Satoru opened his mouth, sighed and said, "I just received a call. The case of Kame's mother was just searched at noon today and it was classified as a suicide case. It's still a step too late. Even if we find evidence, we can only I assisted Kame-san in appealing."

   After finishing speaking, he frowned slightly, and said in a puzzled way, "It is reasonable to say that it shouldn't be. This kind of case usually takes three months to end the order. Could it be that there are too many cases piled up in the first search section recently?"

  Satoru Aragaki was a little puzzled, but thought that Morita Takumi had passed the file to Mai Aigaki, the liaison officer of the 13th division of the third investigation team in charge of the third type of emergency in the city.

  He immediately took out his mobile phone and made another call, explaining the current situation to his daughter Mai Aragaki.

Mai Aragaki heard the commission of Ryoka Kame completely at the scene last night, and admired the cowardly round-faced petite girl who had the courage to find a detective for her mother's death, so she followed up the file on the spot and said that even if the case was closed The thirteenth squad will also conduct a thorough investigation.

   Higashinohara was silent for a moment.

   In the first search lesson, Ryoka Kame had just entrusted the detective agency to find out the truth yesterday, and today they just got the file and closed the case so coincidentally but quickly, which made him smell something unusual.

   "Let's go, let's go!"

   Aragaki Satoru had already put away his mobile phone, and walked into the door of a bar called [Meijiuzhiyuan] on the street.

  Higashi Nohara and Xia Li next to him looked at each other.

  The latter tilted his head, and his petty eyes were probably still holding grudges. He smiled and didn't bother to explain anything, so he walked in, and Xia Li quickly followed after seeing this.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as Higashinohara entered the door, he met a woman with heavy make-up, with a lady's cigarette in her mouth, smiling and walking slowly from the direction of the bar booth that had not yet officially opened at noon.

  The other party's eyes lit up when he saw Higashinohara, and he said lazily with a smile, "Hey, hey! This is not a place where minors can come, no matter how handsome they are!"

   "But my sister's house has wine, if you really want to drink, why not tonight."

  Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, Aragaki Satoru's lazy voice came from the bar.

Sitting on the high stool, he touched a bottle of wine from nowhere, mixed himself a glass of blue flame, and said with a smile, "Hey, hey, Miss Snake, he is a high school student. Why don't you invite me if you have good wine?"

She Kushazhi's body froze, and she turned her head to look at Satoru Aragaki who was sitting there smiling and toasting her, "Why are you here? You are not a policeman now, don't forget to pay for drinking. "

   "Wow! So the boss doesn't give you money for drinking?" Xia Li tilted her head and said in a low voice, her ears under the hood and hood trembled, her tone was a little worshipful.

  Higashi Yehara glanced at her slightly with the corners of his mouth twitching.

  MDZZ

   "Of course I have to give money!"

  Aragaki Satoru drank the wine glass twice, raised it and drank it down, and asked straight to the point, "I'll stop talking, you should still remember the organization called [Funeral Society] a few years ago?"

   "The funeral home?"

  She Gushazhi frowned slightly when she heard the name, "Of course I remember, what's wrong? Didn't you lead people to destroy their organization den back then?"

   "It was destroyed, that's right."

   Aragaki Satoru's smile turned cold, "But they failed to find out their leader, the man called 'Doctor'."

  She Gushazhi was startled for a moment, then shook her head.

"Then you may have come to the wrong place, my bar. No, all the bars in Kabukicho have been singing and dancing recently, and there hasn't been any murders in a long time. At most, some drunken and crazy customers disturbed the garbage thrown into the back alley. It’s just sleeping next to the pile overnight.”

"Of course I know."

   Aragaki Satoru paused after he finished speaking, and stared directly at the eyes under the thick eye shadow of Snake Yarn.

   "However, there have been many murders at an intersection recently, and just like in the past, every murder scene has witnesses with the same appearance."

  She Gushazhi narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyelids trembled, and then lowered her eyes and said, "What does that have to do with me? You may have looked in the wrong place."

   "It has nothing to do with you."

   Aragaki Satoru put down his wine glass, got up from the high chair, and walked slowly towards She Kui Saori.

She Gu Shazhi looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. Although he was unshaven and his face was vicissitudes, somehow the heroic figure with sword-like eyebrows full of awe-inspiring justice appeared in his mind, and he stepped back half a step involuntarily. .

Aragaki Satoru didn't stop, and the moment he passed by, he suddenly lowered his voice and said in Shekui Shazhi's ear, "But these have something to do with your father, don't forget, your father was the only one in the [Funeral Club] back then, except for Dr. ' outside the only man who escaped the manhunt."

Speaking of this, Aragaki Goto paused and continued, "I don't know if he has contacted you these years, and I can't be sure if he has anything to do with this case. Speaking of which, I am no longer a policeman and I will never Let you persuade him to surrender."

   "But if he is related to this case, I don't think people will fall twice in the same place. Can he play disappear again this time?"

   After finishing speaking, Aragaki Satoru took out a business card and handed it to the silent Snake Saori, with a smile on his face again, "This is my business card. If there is any situation, please contact me at any time. See you soon."

   "Let's go everyone."

  He waved his hand, and Xia Li hurriedly followed.

   On the other hand, Higashinohara, who had just heard Aragaki Satoru's words, took a deep look at She Kui Saori who was stunned on the spot with a complex expression.

  Is the suspect a family member?

  This is the first time he has heard of the name funeral agency,

  I haven't seen relevant information on the Internet.

  According to Satoru Aragaki, it seems to be related to the case of Kame-san’s mother.

   Turning around, Higashinohara quickly caught up with the two people in front.

   But when he walked out of the bar door, he realized one thing. Aragaki Satoru, who had just sat at the bar with ease and mixed himself a glass of wine, said that he had to pay.

  The result is still no payment.

   This guy is really a whore.

  He felt emotional in his heart, but seeing Aragaki Satoru boldly leading the farted Xia Li to a ramen shop not far away, the corner of his mouth couldn't help showing a smile.

   It's time for "justice from above".

   New Tokyo suburbs.

  The third type of criminal detention center.

In a visiting room, there is a table and a few fixed chairs in the middle, the surrounding walls are made of special alloy, and the floor is paved with multi-channel magnetic materials. The whole room is like airtight A gloomy cage.

  The captain of the thirteenth division of the third investigation group, Sugita Tsukasa, sat silently on a chair. After a while, a door opened in front of him, and the dull sound of metal shackles hitting his ears came.

  He raised his head, and jumped into the tall and tall figure of Kamiya Ryunosuke without any accidents. He wore a restraint collar around his neck, and his face still had that tired look on his face.

  The other party showed no surprise when he saw Sugita Tsukasa's arrival, and walked to the chair opposite the table with a smile and sat down.

  The door behind the room was closed.

Tsukasa Sugita stared at Takanosuke Kamiya and the lazy smile on the other person's face. For some reason, anger surged in his heart, and he said slowly, "The teacher said back then that you are the most likely to achieve success among us." People in the realm of swordsman. What do you think?"

   "Hahaha, I'm a little embarrassed to say that, but I think so too." Kamiya Ryunosuke replied with a smile. He wanted to scratch his head but found that his hands were in chains, so he could only shrug.

   "But you.

   Soon there will be a death sentence. "

   Tsukasa Sugita's voice was very soft, but the words he spoke seemed to be of great weight.

  The smile on Ryunosuke Kamiya's face also froze suddenly, his thick brows furrowed as if thinking about something, and then a smile appeared on his face again.

   "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, sigmund company's property in Wano country must have been wiped out this time. I didn't expect me to be so important in their eyes."

   "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

   Sugita looked at Ryunosuke Kamiya coldly.

   "How many trading ships of the Sigmund Company have been robbed by your Sakamoto Dragon Pirates in the East China Sea in recent years. Do you think that your death alone can calm the anger of those big shots?"

   "Isn't it worth killing a future world-class great swordsman?" Kamiya Takanosuke asked with a smile, but then gradually fell silent.

  He raised his eyes again and looked directly at Sugita Tsukasa.

   "Where is the execution?"

   "Donghai, Rising Sun Island."

  Facing Ryunosuke Kamiya's cold gaze, Tsukasa Sugita slowly said word by word, "The execution will be broadcast live all over the world, and everyone will be able to see it. The news has already been released this morning."

boom!

   Suddenly there was a horrible muffled sound on the table!

   Ryunosuke Kamiya slammed his handcuffed fists on the table, leaving two red marks, and the dark gold collar under his neck flickered violently.

  The door behind him was pushed open abruptly, and the jailer in the corridor came in and glanced at the unscathed Sugita Tsukasa, and backed out again under the sign of the latter's eyes.

   Ryunosuke Kamiya leaned forward slightly, staring at Tsukasa Sugita, and almost forced a cold growl from between his teeth:

   "Even if you use me to attract that man! Don't let me be your bargaining chip! No one will be his opponent, I advise you not to waste your time."

   "Is the number one swordsman in the East China Sea?"

  Sugita Tsukasa nodded.

   "It is indeed worthy of your trust."

"But you know that this time, apart from Team Leader Tokugawa, the prisoner on Rising Sun Island also dispatched three seventh-level absolute ability users from Wano Country who live behind the Sakurada Gate, and Senator Hope from Shangjing will also be present to supervise the prison in person." Xing, you should know that he is also a [Cang Lei] seventh-level absolute ability user of talent sequence 22, right?"

   Those with absolute ability to control the development of the field above the seventh level are all high-end combat power in this world.

   "I know that your [Dragon of Sakamoto] pirate group is one of the two strongest pirate groups in the East China Sea, but you also have many enemies in the sea, right? Do you think they will help you when the time comes? Or do you choose to make trouble?"

   Sugita stood up,

  Leave a sentence before walking out of this room.

   "The execution date is the 1st of next month. If I'm not mistaken, they have already started to act. Don't try to make unnecessary attempts or commit suicide, it will cost your partners

   loses any meaning. "
