Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

However, not all police officers are so confused.

Soon, Ogino Ayami raised her hand and asked, "Um... how do we explain the English alphabet?"

Yamato Gansuke also raised the question, "Why did they take the victims to different places and kill them?"

Maori Kogoro sweatdropped, "Uh..."

"And..." Takagi Wataru, who was sitting in the police room, raised his hand and asked without giving any face, "How do we explain the news of Mr. Ryuzaki's death?"

"Well...about...about these questions," Maori Kogoro thought for a long time, but couldn't think of how to explain it. He could only perfunctorily say, "I'll think about it slowly later!"

The police below were suddenly in an uproar.

"What are you doing..."

"Ahem," Megure Jusan was also somewhat speechless. He turned to Shiraizumi Masu, who was resting his head with his arms crossed, and asked carefully, "Inspector Shiro, what about you? What are your thoughts on the suspicious points in this case?"

Bai Quanyi didn't answer, but instead looked up at the large group of police officers in the conference room: "What do you think the suspect's purpose was in leaving incriminating information? Was it to provoke the police?"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became more serious, and no one whispered anymore.

"Well..." Takagi Shizuo touched his chin, "It's not impossible, but it doesn't seem like a provocation."

Ogino Ayami pondered this and said, "I think the suspect wanted to use this method to mark his crimes. Of course, there's definitely an element of contempt for the police, but more importantly, leaving behind information about his crimes was part of his plan. Perhaps it was to show off his personality, or perhaps there was something else going on."

Yamato Gansuke glanced at Ogino Ayami and said, "Inspector Ogino and I are on the same page!"

Shiraizumi nodded and concluded, "The suspect's choice of victims follows a pattern, which the officers should be able to grasp. The words 'Tanabe, Kyo' left by Mr. Ryuzaki are the key to investigating this pattern. The meaning of 'Kyo' is unclear, but we can investigate all the victims regarding 'Tanabe'."

"So..." One of the policemen raised his hand and asked seriously, "Qixi Festival is Valentine's Day. Could it be related to love?"

"The victims include both men and women, aged between 28 and 61. It is unlikely that they had emotional disputes with the same person," said Bai Quanyi.

The other police officers nodded silently and continued to take notes.

"Is that the reason of time?" asked Miwako Sato.

"That's possible. The police still need to investigate and confirm the details..." Bai Quanyi looked at the group of police officers. "Also, one thing you need to pay attention to is not to ignore the vertical straight line that appears on the back of the mahjong tile along with the English letters."

A group of police officers lowered their heads and continued to take notes.

Indeed, they were only thinking about the meaning of "Qixi, Jing" and the English letters of the mahjong tiles, and somewhat ignored the vertical line.

You know, this kind of trace was left on the mahjong tiles by the suspect on purpose, so it must have special meaning and should not be ignored.

After Miwako Sato finished recording, she looked up thoughtfully and asked, "Officer Bai, this vertical line divides the mahjong into two halves. Could it be that it is splitting something in half?"

"That's possible." After hearing Miwako's words, Shiraizumi suddenly remembered something and asked Megure Jusan, "Officer Megure, have you ever measured the length of the left and right sides of the vertical straight line of a mahjong tile?"

"Well..." Megure Jusan flipped back two pages of the investigation materials. "The forensic personnel measured it and found that the lengths of the left and right sides of the vertical line are not exactly the same, but the difference is less than 2 millimeters. Considering that the line was carved into the hard mahjong tile with a knife, there will be a slight deviation when carving. So it is very likely that the suspect deliberately left the left and right sides the same distance."

Bai Quanyi nodded. "I think there's too much information to investigate in this case, and we need to continue looking for clues. Furthermore, although the suspect is likely to commit crimes again soon, police officers from various regions are participating in the investigation, and they have a certain ability to take the risk of trial and error."

After the meeting, Shiraizumi called Ogino Ayami to his private office.

212. Ogino Ayami's feet are fragrant

As soon as he entered the office, Shiraizumi Mashi hugged Ogino Ayami and said, "Ogino-senpai, it's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much... Did you miss me?"

Ogino Ayami held her forehead and said, "It's only been less than a year, but it feels like ages have passed..."

Bai Quanyi said, "Don't worry about the details, just let me kiss you."

"Bo--" Shiraizumi Yoshi kissed Ogino Ayami's pretty face.

Ogino Ayami said, "Shiraizumi Mashi, stop being such a fool. Can you be more serious? You're already a police inspector, and you haven't made any progress..."

"It's all because of the senior, such a beautiful policewoman, who makes people unable to control themselves."

"Smooth talk? Since you were transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department, have you hooked up with other policewomen?"

Shiraizumi said, "How is that possible? There are only a few girls around me. Besides, being a detective in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is very busy. I don't have time at all."

When Ogino Ayami heard Shiraizumi Masu say that he was too busy to find a woman, she felt very happy.

Ogino Ayami smiled slightly: "Shiraizumi Masu, you are really impressive. You are already a superintendent."

Bai Quanyi said, "Only in this way can we be worthy of the earnest teachings of our predecessors."

"Hehe...you mean that kind of teaching?"

"Various teachings."

When Shiraizumi made his next more aggressive move, Ogino Ayami pushed Shiraizumi away.

"It's working hours now. I am a woman who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters." Ogino Ayami's expression became serious.

"Haha... Inspector Ogino is still so serious." Shiraizumi Mashi also restrained his pig-like attitude.

"Inspector Bai, you are responsible for this case. What are your plans?"

"Inspector Ogino, before dark, would you like to visit the homes of the deceased? We might find something unexpected."

As for the six areas where the bodies were dumped, including the Usui Pass Miharudai on the border of Gunma and Nagano prefectures; the Daikanzan rest area on the Odawara-Atsugi Road; the Nishi-Oizumi Habitat Forest in Nerima Ward; the banks of the Horiwari River in Isogo Ward, Yokohama; Mount Sumo in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture; and the old Hayakawa toll station on the Hakone Expressway, Shiraizumi Mashi does not believe that the murderer would have left any clues there.

Ogino Ayami paused, and without thinking for too long, nodded and said:

??"good……"

Shiraizumi Masu drove the car with Ogino Ayami, and the two of them moved together.

Nagano Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo...

Along the way, in addition to collecting clues to the serial murder case, Bai Quanyi also got some of the answers he wanted from the clues.

So... Okakura Masaaki is related to the Black Organization. Okakura Masaaki has a list of Black Organization members lurking in various walks of life.

Just a few weeks before the accident, this member of the House of Representatives suddenly showed signs of panic and anxiety that were difficult to conceal, and then secretly went to a shrine to ask for a talisman.

According to his family, one time when they were out, they happened to meet a passerby who wanted to borrow Okakura Masaaki's amulet. As a result, the two sides almost got into a fight.

It was so obvious that the members of the organization who were monitoring him must have noticed it long ago.

Shirai suddenly realized that the Black Organization must be looking for the list that Okakura Masaaki had lost. This was also what Vermouth wanted Shirai to help him find. However, Vermouth did not fully trust Shirai and did not tell him what it was!

After a whole day of traveling, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Shiraizumi Masushi and Ogino Ayami came to the hotel. After being busy for a while, Shiraizumi Masushi and Ogino Ayami were sweating.

As soon as they entered the hotel, Shiraizumi Mashi hugged Ogino Ayami from behind. He said with a smile, "Senior, now you have no reason to refuse me."

Ogino Ayami twisted her waist and said coquettishly, "Why are you in such a hurry... Take a shower first..."

"Don't shower yet. Wait until you're done exercising. If you work up a sweat and then have to shower again, it's redundant."

"Bai Quanyi, what's wrong with you? You're getting weirder and weirder... Are you interested in the smell of women's sweat?"

Ogino Ayami curled the corners of her mouth and deliberately made fun of Shiraizumi Masu.

"No, I just miss the days when I was guided by my seniors."

"That's what you said..."

Ogino Ayami sat on a chair in the room, took off her high heels, and put her long, beautiful legs on the glass table.

Ayami Ogino was wearing an OL skirt and no stockings. Her smooth white legs were covered with faint beads of sweat, and they emitted a shining light under the incandescent light in the room.

"Come, Shiraizumi Masu, come here and massage my feet like you used to." Ogino Ayami recalled that when Shiraizumi Masu was interning in Saitama Prefecture, whenever she felt tired, Shiraizumi would volunteer to massage her feet to relieve her fatigue... Until one day, Shiraizumi pushed her onto the bed...

"Wait... why did it become a foot massage again? I've been reunited with my senior after a long time, and I've finally held back until now. I want to do something more exciting with my senior."

Baiquan Yi looked aggrieved. He felt that he could not endure it any longer and could not even wait for the time to take a shower. Ogino Ayami actually did this, which really kept him in suspense.

Ogino Ayami curled her lips and said calmly, "Shiraizumi Masaru, you were the one who said you missed the days when I knew about it. What's wrong? Are you going back on your word?"

"ok, I get it."

Shiraizumi diligently massaged Ayami Ogino's feet, pressing the acupressure points. The soles of the feet are home to many important acupressure points, and massaging these points can help stretch the body's meridians, relax the body, and relieve fatigue.

"Bai Quanyi, your technique is still great, not rusty at all."

"Hee 760 hee... Ogino-senpai's feet are still so beautiful. The more I look at them, the more I like them."

"You're such a pervert!"

Ogino Ayami's feet were delicate and delicate, soft and boneless when held in the palm of your hand. Her toenails were not painted, but trimmed with a nail clipper. Her toenails were neatly trimmed and clean, without a trace of dirt, a sight so beautiful that it was hard not to touch them.

"Oh - I almost forgot." Ogino Ayami blushed suddenly and felt embarrassed.

"What's wrong, senior?" Bai Quanyi asked.

"I was wearing high heels and running around all day today. I sweated a lot. Did it stink you?" Ogino Ayami subconsciously retracted her foot, fearing that Shiraizumi Yoshi would faint from the stench.

"That's not the case... Senior's feet are very clean, there's no odor..."

This world is based on science. How can a beautiful girl smell bad? The pleasantness of one's body odor is closely related to one's appearance. The more beautiful a girl is, the better she smells. Even when she sweats, she smells good. Even a beautiful girl like Ogino Ayami has a fragrant scent from her feet.

If this were the world before Bai Quanyi traveled through time, no matter how beautiful a girl was, if she walked around in high heels for a whole day and took them off, she would stink so much that a large area would faint.

This is why Shiraizumi Masu was willing to massage Ogino Ayami's feet even though she was sweating so much.

213. It’s working time now

Shiraizumi Masu put down Ogino Ayami's ankle and acted as if he wanted to reward her.

Although Ogino Ayami did not have the wings of a phoenix, she understood the situation and slowly opened her legs.

"Bai Quanyi, are you satisfied with this?"

"Mmmmm--senpai is awesome!"

Bai Quanyi pounced on him like a teddy dog.

Soon, the two were sweating profusely... The earth was shaking and the sky was about to fall...

It was nine o'clock in the morning. Shiraizumi Masushi and Ogino Ayami took a shower together and rushed to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for a meeting.

Metropolitan Police Department, conference room.

After confirming that all participants were present, Ogino Ayami spoke first and recounted what she and Shiraizumi Masu had investigated.

The meeting lasted about half an hour.

When talking about the clues about mahjong, Maori Kogoro was a little surprised and said:

"Eh? They don't play mahjong?"

"Yes," Ogino Ayami nodded. "We visited the homes and workplaces of the six victims and basically confirmed that none of them had a hobby of playing mahjong."

"Alas... unfortunately, Brother Mori's reasoning is wrong." Megure Jusan sighed.

"We've reached a dead end." A member of the organization undercover in the Metropolitan Police Department looked disappointed.

The undercover member of the organization working in the Metropolitan Police Department is called Ireland. A low-ranking member of Okakura Masaaki's Black Organization, he carries a flash drive containing the organization's undercover roster for self-protection. However, before he can be silenced by the organization, he is implicated in a serial murder case and killed. The amulet containing the flash drive is also stolen by the killer. To prevent the flash drive from falling into the hands of the police, Ireland goes undercover in the Metropolitan Police Department.

In addition to him, there is another member of the Black Organization, Bai Quanyi. Because Bai Quanyi only cooperates with Vermouth and is not a real member, the organization does not trust Bai Quanyi.

As a result, he heard Inspector Megure say with emotion: "It would be great if Kudo was here at a time like this..."

"Kudo?" Ireland's eyes lit up, and he tilted his head and asked, "Could this person you're talking about be Kudo Shinichi, the high school detective who often assists you with your cases?"

Megure Jusan nodded and said, "I haven't heard anything about that high school detective recently. I wonder if he's dead like his father?"

At one end of the conference table, Ogino Ayami sighed, "I used to see him often in the news or newspapers."

"He's not dead. Maybe he's tired of playing detective games," said Shigeo Yokomizo.

"That's not the case!" Takagi Wataru is arguably one of the detectives who enjoys the most benefits from being a detective. "I often receive calls from Kudo and receive guidance from Detective Kudo."

"Takagi!"

Megure Jusan's face darkened as he interrupted the chatter of his honest subordinate.

"Ah..." Gao Mushi came back to his senses and quickly lowered his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I let it slip."

Ireland didn't intend to give them a chance to change the subject and continued to ask:

"What's going on, Inspector Megure?"

Megure Jusan's face darkened. "Shut up! You haven't embarrassed yourself enough in front of detectives from other places!"

Ireland fell silent, its previous depression replaced by excitement. Interesting, a dead person actually came back to life...

Shiraizumi Yi turned his attention to Ireland, and it was certain that he was an undercover agent of the Metropolitan Police Department.
