Chapter 167

Police, fire trucks, and ambulances were parked around.

The police officers who got off the police car evacuated the surrounding crowd and quickly set up a cordon; the firefighters used fire trucks to continuously spray water on the ruins to ensure that the temperature of the black smoke-belching building was at the lowest level. Within a controllable range; at the same time, injured people were being sent to ambulances one after another...

The situation is very bad.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zuo Shotaro frowned slightly, and a certain word emerged from his mind.

【Lava Purgatory】......

The contents of Huang Jinqing’s crime warning letter.

Shotaro Zuo stopped the tough guy call, then put his index finger in front of his lips to silence Akiko Narumi.

Yasuko blinked and finally stayed near the Tough Guy motorcycle, quietly observing Shotaro Zuo.

Then, Shotaro Zuo flipped off the motorcycle, and then used skillful and dexterous movements to bypass the cordon and reach a certain location inside the cordon.

Then he slowly squatted down, naturally pretending to be a police officer, and then began to check the situation of the Wind Scale building.

However, before Zuo Shotaro could continue to move quietly deeper into the cordon, a police officer came over and grabbed Zuo Shotaro's shoulder.

"Hey, you stinky detective, why did you sneak into the scene again!" The police officer looked at Zuo Shotaro, seemingly resentful.

A police officer who is at odds with the detective.

A frequent visitor in mystery works.

Zuo Xiangtaro raised his head. However, after he saw the policeman's face and recognized the policeman's identity, he shrugged confidently, and then smiled at the policeman in front of him. Said: "It's Police Officer Makura, it's been a long time indeed.

"However, I'm afraid a low-level police officer like you who doesn't have enough rank can no longer cause trouble for me~"

After hearing Zuo Shotaro's words, the Makura police officer also frowned slightly: "Huh?"

At this moment, a police officer who was obviously much higher than Police Officer Makura came over. He patted Police Officer Makura and Shotaro Zuo on the shoulders: "Stop arguing, Shotaro, let's just deal with it." Let me handle it."

The senior police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, who has a mutual relationship with the detective to a certain extent, has a pretty good relationship with the detective, and is also a frequent guest in mystery works.

After hearing the officer's words, Officer Makura shook his head helplessly: "Yes, Officer Basano."

Shotaro Zuo took the opportunity to come to Officer Basano and slightly showed his hands to Officer Makura.

Officer Basano didn't say anything, but led Zuo Shotaro deeper into the cordon.

As mentioned before, the relationship between Officer Basano and Shotarou Sa is pretty good.

Shotaro Zuo occasionally helps Officer Basano investigate things that are difficult for the police to investigate.

In exchange, Officer Basano will also provide Shotaro Zuo with some special information that has been blocked by the police when he needs it.

With this relationship of mutual use and mutual help, the relationship between the two is quite harmonious.

On the way, Officer Basano asked Shotaro Zuo: "Did someone ask you to investigate the Wind Scale attack case? Is there any information you can simply disclose to me? The kind that is not convenient for the police to know?"

But Shotaro Zuo shook his head slightly and explained: "It's not that someone asked me to investigate matters related to the attack on Wind Scale, it just happened that the commission at hand had something to do with that Wind Scale...

"Speaking of which, what about the attack on Wind Scale?"

Officer Basano did not answer Zuo Shotaro's question, but slowly stopped in his tracks and pointed at a figure in the ruins with the document he was carrying.

Officer Basano said: "If you don't know, just ask the new police officer.

"He'll tell you."

Shotaro Zuo looked in the direction pointed by Officer Basano.

At this moment, among the melting and collapsing ruins of the building, a police officer wearing a white suit, white gloves and a hat was crouching on the ground and carefully examining the melting and collapsing situation of the building. His movements were clean and neat. , The posture is elegant and capable.

It looks very pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the back of the man wearing a white suit and hat, Zuo Shotaro felt a little dazed for a moment.

Some memories came to mind.

Once upon a time, there was a tough detective wearing a white suit and hat in Narumi Detective Agency.

With a taciturn posture and an elegant and capable tough guy style, he walks in the darkness and protects the light of the city...

But now...

As if he heard the footsteps of Shotaro Zuso and Officer Basano, or heard the content of their conversation, the figure stood up slowly and turned back to look at Officer Shotaro Zuno and Shotaro Zuno.

A quiet and delicate face came into view.

Shotaro Zuo shook his head slightly and came back to his senses.

Such a face would not be associated with a tough guy at all.

Looking at the unfamiliar police officer in front of him, Zuo Shotaro turned his head slightly, and asked Officer Basano: "Basan, who is this police officer...?"

Officer Basano opened his mouth and explained to Zuo Shotaro: "This is Officer Shiraishi.

"To be precise, he is actually the [Technical Advisor of the Abnormal Event Investigation Section], a high-tech talent who was recently seconded to Fengdu.

“And the [Abnormal Incident Investigation Section] he belongs to is a special incident investigation section that the Metropolitan Police Department recently planned to establish in Fengdu.

"Next, cases related to [Dopant] and [Kamen Rider] will eventually be handed over to the newly established [Abnormal Incident Investigation Division] for handling.

"If Shotaro you are still so easily involved in adulterant-related cases...

"Then from now on, you will meet with this police officer Shiraishi more often than you will with me~"

Looking at Shiraishi's figure, Shotaro Zuo murmured softly: "[Abnormal Incident Investigation Division]..."

"A special investigation department investigating [Adultants] and [Kamen Rider]..."

288-Police Officer Shiraishi (Part 2)

At this moment, Officer Shiraishi, who had completed the material sampling work, also came over. He looked at Shotaro Zuo, and then at Officer Basano. The questioning meaning in his eyes was naturally self-evident.

Officer Basano patted Shotaro Zuo on the shoulder and explained to Officer Shiraishi: "This is Shotaro Zuo, the ace detective of Narumi Detective Agency.

“Let’s just call him my informant.

"He will help me provide a lot of special information.

“So he’s not an outsider.

"Ah, by the way, he is currently investigating a case slightly related to Wind Scale.

“Next, if it’s convenient, I’d like to ask Officer Shiraishi to briefly explain to Shotaro the circumstances surrounding the attack on Wind Scale.

"Maybe I can help this kid."

After hearing Officer Basano's explanation, Officer Shiraishi also took off the white rubber gloves he was using to take samples, and then extended his hand to Shotaro Zuo.

He did not object to Officer Basano's offer to leak internal police information to help detectives.

"Hello, I'm Shiraishi."

Zuo Shotaro nodded slightly and shook hands with Shiraishi.

"I am Shotaro Zuo."

Looking at Officer Shiraishi's hat, Shotaro Zuo frowned slightly. He hesitated for a moment. Finally, before Officer Shiraishi began to explain the information related to the attack on Wind Scale, Shotaro Zuo finally reached out and temporarily interrupted Officer Shiraishi's explanation. ...

Looking at Officer Shiraishi, Shotaro Zuo asked tentatively: "Um, Officer Shiraishi, I'd like to take the liberty to ask...

"Excuse me, is your hat...?"

After hearing Zuo Shotaro's words, Officer Shiraishi's mouth curved slightly. He took off his hat and looked at it quietly. Then, Officer Shiraishi said: "This hat is a hat." A parting gift given to me by an elder who is much older than me when he said goodbye to me...

"One of my favorite gifts."

When speaking, Officer Shiraishi's eyes were full of memories, as if he missed that time very much.

After hearing Officer Shiraishi's words and seeing the recalling look on Officer Shiraishi's face, Shotaro Zuo fell silent.

【bid farewell】......

【Farewell Gift】......

That being said...

Some ominous speculations arose in his mind.

But at this moment, for some reason, the Baishi police officer shook his head slightly, and then laughed out loud.

And his laughter also pulled Zuo Shotaro out of those bad speculations, and brought Zuo Shotaro's attention back to the real world.

Although it was a bit strange, Shotaro Zuo did not ask the reason why Officer Shiraishi laughed.

Not very appropriate.

Officer Shiraishi quickly adjusted his expression. He put the hat on his head again, then shook his head slightly, then took out a tablet, and then pulled out some of the information related to the Wind Scale attack. Then he handed the tablet to Shotaro Zuo.

Then, Officer Shiraishi said: "Let's not continue chatting. Let's talk about Wind Scale."

Officer Shiraishi turned his head, looked at the melted and collapsed building, and then explained: "Let's start with the attack case in front of us.

“The building where Wind Scale’s headquarters is located is now in ruins, and the foundation and lower floors of the building have completely melted and can even be said to have sunk into the ground.

“The relatively complete floor structure that we see now is actually the fourth floor of the building.

"However, fortunately, because Huang Jinqing sent a crime warning letter to Wind Scale, the Metropolitan Police Department did some evacuation and preparation work here in advance.

“Therefore, although the visual effect of this building melting incident is exaggerated, according to the information we have collected so far, there are only injured people, and no missing or dead people have occurred.

"As for the prisoners..."

Officer Shiraishi held up some of the materials he had collected in the evidence bag, and he stared at the samples quietly.

"It is speculated that the suspect is some kind of [dopant] who can use special abilities, and the ability of that dopant will most likely be related to keywords such as [high temperature]."

Then, Shiraishi looked at Zuo Shotaro: "You don't need me to explain the content related to the [dopant], right?"

Shotaro Zuo nodded slightly: "The superhuman who appeared in Fengdu at some time is a special existence that displays special abilities in a twisted posture that looks like a mixture of monsters and humans...

“This is [dopant].

"In a sense, he is a special [super criminal] unique to Fengdu."

Officer Shiraishi also nodded slightly and explained: "Actually, in the beginning, the content related to [Dopant] and [Kamen Rider] were always treated as urban legends by the Metropolitan Police. of.

“It is precisely for this reason that the Metropolitan Police has not made any special response to this.

“But after that [Golden Lord] appeared, everything changed...

"Prince Huang unabashedly demonstrated his superhuman special abilities, and also publicly issued a mockery of the Metropolitan Police Department and the detective community...

"This prompted the Metropolitan Police Department to launch a special investigation procedure against Huang Jinqing...

"As the investigation progressed, things like [Dopant] and [Kamen Rider] that originally existed only in illusory urban legends finally turned into actual evidence and appeared in the police's sight. before.

"To this end, preparations for the establishment of the [Abnormal Incident Investigation Division] have begun..."

After a while, Officer Shiraishi shook his head slightly and said, "Well, that's a bit too far.

"Let's continue talking about the attack on Wind Scale."

Then, Shiraishi came to Zuo Shotaro. He clicked on the tablet a few times, and then showed several photos to Zuo Shotaro.

Then Shiraishi continued to explain: "From last week to now, this similar [building melting] incident has almost happened for the third time.

“And every [building melting] incident must be related to Wind Scale’s store...

“So, in the end, the Metropolitan Police Department believes that this series of cases all belong to the [Wind Scale attack case].

"And the prisoner is probably deliberately targeting a certain high-temperature dopant in Wind Scale."

"Right now, my colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department should be urgently investigating the people related to Wind Scale."

Then, Shiraishi shook his head slightly: "However, Wind Scale itself is a very trendy fashion brand, and there are countless customers or staff related to it...

“Even if we can use factors such as [motivation] to exclude some people...

"But we still don't know when we will be able to identify suspects closely related to the case..."

But after hearing Officer Shiraishi's words, Shotaro Zuo seemed to suddenly realize something.

Case started [one week ago].

【One week ago】The missing Togawa Yosuke.
