Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 214 Flower Shop
BBQ.

This was indeed a "code word" that only he and Ida Ko knew.

A few years ago, Makino accepted the invitation of Date Kou and met Date Kou and his girlfriend for the first time, and they had barbecue.

If I remember correctly, there was also a murder at that time.

There are two possibilities why Ida Hang specifically mentioned the word "barbecue".

First of all, before the criminal ordered Ida Ko to throw away his cell phone, the last place he was asked to go was near the barbecue restaurant that year.

Secondly, Date Kou may have used this word to indicate that the criminal might be a woman, or that the criminal might be involved in a case involving a woman.

After all, in the barbecue restaurant case a few years ago, the criminal was a woman.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Ida Kou used the word barbecue to refer to both things at the same time, or that there may be other hidden secrets.

Because no matter how slowly Idahang types on his mobile phone, typing the word "female" is much faster and more straightforward than "barbecue".

Thinking of this, Makino immediately took Sato and Takagi back to the car and told them the detailed location of the barbecue restaurant.

In either case, the most important thing at the moment is to confirm the whereabouts of Date Kou and his fiancée.

Their situation is extremely dangerous.

After the vehicle started, Makino leaned against the window and continued to think deeply about the whole incident.

This incident is different from other kidnappings for ransom or other purposes. The criminal's purpose is most likely just "revenge."

The criminal first carefully investigated Ida Kou's interpersonal relationships, then used his fiancée Natalie to lure out Ida Kou, forcing Ida Kou to act according to the criminal's orders...

Makino previously believed that the criminal's purpose was simply to take revenge and kill Date Kou.

But now that I think about it, the criminal's purpose may not be that simple.

If the criminal just wanted to kill to vent his anger without considering the consequences and the outcome, then there would be no need to kidnap Ida Kou's fiancée, nor would there be any reason to use a voice changer on the phone.

With such powerful intelligence investigation capabilities, if the purpose was just to kill people, there would be no need to make it so complicated.

——“Buzz buzz buzz”

Just then, Makino's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Inspector Hasegawa calling.

According to Hasegawa, they have found a more suspicious case among the cases handled by Date Kou.

-

Half a month ago, on his way back to the Metropolitan Police Department after completing a mission, Date Ko unexpectedly met the criminal on the wanted list - Irie Masushige.

Masushige Irie is a criminal that the Metropolitan Police Department's Organized Crime Countermeasures Division has been working hard to track down. He is involved in many cases of selling guns and suspicious drugs.

When Date Kou discovered Irie Masushige, he was trading with another suspicious man wearing a windbreaker and a big hat in an alley.

While the two were not paying attention, Date Ko quietly stepped forward and subdued Irie Masushige, but the other man took the opportunity to escape.

After subduing Irie Masushige, Date Kou found a homemade gun and some unknown suspicious drugs on him.

After returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, Date Ko directly handed Irie Masushige over to the police officer of the Fifth Section of the Crime Countermeasures Department who was in charge of the case.

Two weeks ago, before the officers from the Crime Countermeasures Department's Section 5 could get more information from Irie Masushige, Irie committed suicide in prison.

According to the information, Irie Masushige had a wife named Irie Keiko.

-

After listening to Hasegawa's report, Makino fell into deep thought.

The criminal named Irie Masushige was just arrested by Date Kou while on duty, and his suicide had basically nothing to do with Date Kou.

However, Makino's intuition told him that this was most likely the cause of the incident.

Therefore, at the end of the phone call, Makino specifically asked Hasegawa to investigate the address of Keiko Irie.

At this moment, Officer Takagi in the co-pilot seat suddenly said excitedly: "Counselor, I found Senior Ida!"

Hearing this, Makino and Sato also looked in the direction Takagi was looking.

At this moment, Ida Hang was making a phone call in a public telephone booth next to the barbecue restaurant.

After confirming that the man in the phone booth was Officer Ida, Officer Sato quickly parked the car on the side of the road opposite the phone booth.

During this period, Makino used his extraordinary eyesight to carefully observe Date Kou in the telephone booth.

He found that while Yi Dahang was answering the phone, his left hand was always in his jacket pocket, and the pocket was moving slightly.

Seeing this, Makino did not directly order the two to drive forward, but instead took a careful look around.

In a coffee shop not far from the public telephone booth, a suspicious middle-aged man in a gray coat looked at the public telephone booth from time to time.

However, the middle-aged man did not have any communication equipment such as a mobile phone in his hand.

After thinking for a while, Makino took out the props for disguise and the "Smart Ant" from the system backpack and said, "There is a suspicious man in the cafe over there who is monitoring Officer Ida. Sato, Takagi, the two of you are responsible for following the middle-aged man in the gray coat. Be careful not to be discovered by him. He has a hostage in his hand."

Hearing this, Officer Sato couldn't help but ask, "Counselor, what about you?"

At this time, Makino had already opened the car door and got out: "I will be responsible for following Officer Ida and keep in touch at any time."

"Yes!" X2
Sato and Takagi did not notice that Makino's face had changed drastically at this moment.

……

After getting off the bus, Makino, who had changed his appearance, walked quickly towards the telephone booth.

Since he knew that someone was monitoring Ida Hang, he naturally could not approach Ida Hang with his original appearance.

Otherwise, once her identity as a "policeman" was discovered, Natalie, as a hostage, would be in danger.

Not long after, Makino arrived outside the phone booth.

At this time, Yi Dahang had just finished his call and turned around to walk out of the phone booth.

Just as Yi Dahang took out his left hand from his pocket to open the door, a small white note quietly fell from Yi Dahang's pocket and landed on the ground inside the phone booth.

The moment he saw the note, a smile flashed in Makino's eyes.

As soon as Ida Hang opened the door, Makino quickly threw the "little ant" in his hand into Ida Hang's pocket, and then walked straight into the phone booth: "You are worthy of being the squad leader."

After hearing this familiar voice, Yi Dahang was obviously stunned.

Then, there was the relaxed smile in his eyes that could not be concealed: "Ah, I'll leave it to you~"

After saying this, Yi Dahang left quickly.

After Ida Ko left, Makino picked up the public phone in front of him in the telephone booth and pretended to make a call.

After realizing that the gaze on him had disappeared, Makino put down the phone and leaned over to quickly pick up the note on the ground.

There was no text on the note, only three numbers:
——"0824-8783"

The moment he saw the number, Makino confirmed his previous guess. The number in front was not a password or code, but a date.

The case that Inspector Hasegawa mentioned earlier, the day when the criminal named Irie Masushige was arrested by Date Kou, was August 8th.

As for the numbers at the end, they are not dates but codes.

【8783】, the pronunciation of these four numbers together means "flower shop".

It seems that through the previous phone call, Ida Hang not only confirmed the identity of the criminal, but also obtained clues about the geographical location.

Although it is not known how Date Kou got the clue of "flower shop", since it has been confirmed that the kidnapper is indeed related to the case of Irie Masushige, and the important clue of "flower shop" has been obtained, the subsequent investigation has a clear direction.

The next thing that needs to be confirmed is whether this flower shop refers to Ida Ko's next destination or the location of his fiancée Natalie.

Thinking of this, Makino put on the smart glasses and headphones that came with the "Little Ant".

Not far after leaving the phone booth, Makino received a call from Hasegawa.

After confirming that there was no one around "monitoring" him, Makino answered the phone directly.

——"Counselor, we have already investigated where Irie Keiko lives. She lives in a house near the Beika General Hospital. I will send you the exact location now!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't let anyone else take action for now. Wait for me to contact you and be ready to dispatch the SAT troops at any time."

--"yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Makino immediately opened the map on his phone and carefully checked the area around the Mika General Hospital. He remembered that there seemed to be two flower shops near the Mika Hospital.

Not long after, Makino found two flower shops next to the Beika Hospital, and Hasegawa's text message also arrived.

Combining the residential address of Keiko Irie provided by Hasegawa, Makino finally locked on a flower shop called "Green Room".

At this moment, combined with the current direction of Idahang, the previous questions were finally answered.

The so-called flower shop does not refer to Ida Kou's destination, but the location of the hostages.

Although he didn't know how Ida Kou knew it, since he already had so much information, Makino didn't think any more about it and took action directly.

……

A few minutes later, Makino arrived outside a flower shop called "Green Room".

After seeing the "Closed" sign above the door, a trace of solemnity flashed across Makino's eyes.

Today is not a holiday, and it is 10:30 in the morning, which is within business hours.

Under normal circumstances, this would not be surprising.

But as the case is ongoing, Makino naturally does not think this is a "coincidence."

Thinking of this, Makino calmed down and carefully felt the atmosphere in the flower shop.

There was an obvious presence of multiple atmospheres in the flower shop at this moment.

After a moment, Makino opened his eyes, and after confirming that there were no surveillance cameras around or inside the store, he reached into his system backpack and took out the wire used to pick the lock.

After successfully prying open the door, Makino concealed his presence and sneaked into the store quietly.

A few seconds later, Makino walked to the door of the innermost room of the flower shop with a sign saying "Employee Lounge".

Inside the house, there was the sound of a man and a woman talking.

"This damn foreign girl is so bold! Why did you stop me from killing her just now?!"

"Don't get excited. Anyway, she didn't say anything important. Just hit her twice to vent your anger. Besides, even if the policeman guessed what the woman wanted to say, it would be meaningless. He can't save himself anymore~"

"What should she do?"

"We'll deal with her after that policeman finishes his mission."

"..."

Hearing this, Makino let the "little ant" into the house through the gap in the door.

Through the real-time display screen on the glasses, Makino could also see the situation inside the house clearly.

Ida Hang's fiancée "Natalie Laijian" was tied up with ropes to the innermost office chair in the room.

Although she did not appear to be in danger of death, there were obvious bruises on her face and traces of blood that had not yet dried at the corners of her mouth and on her chin.

Obviously, this should be what the two people just said, "Hit her twice to vent your anger."

Not far from Natalie, sitting on a small sofa were a man and a woman.

The man had a pistol in his right hand, while the woman had a cell phone and a small bag of flour-like powder in her hand.

Although the woman did not have a pistol in her hand, there was an obvious bulge on the left side of her waist. Judging from the shape, the woman should have a pistol on her.

After confirming the situation inside the house and the location of the three people inside, Makino took out a black glove from his pocket, put it on his left hand, then took out his police gun with his right hand and kicked open the door in front of him.

--"boom!"

Without waiting for the two people in the house to react, Makino fired two shots in succession, hitting both of them.

——“Bang!! Bang!!”

One of the bullets hit the man's heart accurately, killing him on the spot.

The other bullet hit the woman's right hand, creating a huge hole in it.

Although she didn't understand what was happening, the woman still endured the pain and tried to pull out the pistol from her waist with her left hand.

After seeing the woman's actions, Makino couldn't help but sneer.

Makino did not stop the woman immediately, but allowed her to move. The moment the woman's hand touched the pistol at her waist, Makino shot again, shooting through the woman's left hand.

Without waiting for the woman to scream, Makino instantly appeared in front of her and used his gloved left hand to tightly grasp the woman's neck to prevent her from screaming in pain.

The next moment, Makino slowly put away his pistol and calmly broke the woman's arms.

This time, the woman did not make any screams, but her eyes turned white and she lost consciousness.

The severe pain in her hands and arms was obviously beyond the woman's endurance.

After putting down the woman in his hand, Makino glanced at Natalie not far away.

Perhaps it was because she was overly frightened before, or perhaps it was because she was knocked unconscious by the man and woman in front of her...she was not awakened by the two gunshots just now.

After throwing the woman to the ground, Makino took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Hasegawa: "The location of the hostage has been determined..."

After sending the text message, Makino glanced at the man and woman on the ground, slowly walked to Natalie, untied her ropes, and then carried her out of the employee lounge filled with the smell of blood and placed her on a recliner in the store.

After doing all this, Makino threw the gloves into the corner of the system backpack, then removed the disguise on his face and looked at Ida Hang's current location.
