"It wasn't that we ran into a murder case—the murder case came looking for us." Jiang Xia sighed like an ordinary bystander innocently caught up in a complicated case. "I'll have Secretary Nishino tell you the exact location."
He handed the phone to Nishino Masato.
"The crime scene is actually on a ship. Let's take a helicopter." Inspector Megure headed for the helipad with his subordinates and several officers from the Forensics Department.
Halfway there, they ran into someone coming from the opposite direction.
Inspector Megure stared at him, momentarily stunned. "Brother Shiratori? Weren't you on vacation in Karuizawa?"
Inspector Shiratori waved a hand. "There was nothing fun to do at the villa, so I came back early. Why did you bring so many people from the Forensics Department? Another murder case?"
Inspector Megure was already worried about being short-handed. Seeing this laborer practically deliver himself to the door, he decisively pulled him into the team. "There was a shooting on a Suzuki Conglomerate ship. Come take a look with us."
As he spoke, he could not help sighing. With mixed feelings of joy and concern, he quietly shared the news he had just received with his elite colleague. "That group of Jiang Xia's is back in Tokyo."
"..." Inspector Shiratori froze, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes. They were back, so they were back. Why did he make it sound like a band of brigands had swept through? Wasn't Jiang Xia a good friend of the police?
Still, confusion was confusion. He did not voice his thoughts. He merely cooperated with Inspector Megure and copied an expression nearly identical to his.
Then he silently blended into the team and boarded the helicopter bound for the large ship.
