MTL - Congratulations on Your Arrest-Chapter 8 mysterious disappearance

  Chapter 8 Strange Disappearance

  In the afternoon, there was a rain in New Tokyo. After the rain stopped in the evening, the setting sun cleared away the haze in the sky, but the downstairs of the apartment building of Aragaki Detective Agency was full of gloomy and gloomy atmosphere.

   "Mr. Nishimaru, please control your emotions first and cooperate with our investigation."

   "Please! Please find my daughter."

   "Okay, please rest assured that we will do our best to find your daughter."

   After finally calming down the collapsed emotions of the man who called the police, the two patrol officers from the Ogawa Town Police Department breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other, one of them clenched his fist and coughed dryly:

  "Hello, Mr. Nishimaru, please answer the following questions carefully, so that we can help you find your daughter faster."

  Among the crowd of onlookers, Higashinohara looked at Shunsuke Nishimaru, who was slumped on the ground, and he nodded quickly with messy hair and haggard face.

   "What's your daughter's name?"

   "Nishimaru Miri."

"age?"

   "Five. Oh no! Six! Just turned six!"

   "OK, missing time?"

  “The school teacher called me in the afternoon and asked if I had picked up my daughter, and I said no.”

   "Have you checked the school monitoring?"

   "My daughter is not monitored by the school entrance and exit, and the surveillance in the school has not captured it, as if she disappeared after lunch."

   "What time did you find out in the afternoon?"

   "It should be two o'clock after one o'clock. I'll check the records later. Well, it's two o'clock."

  A patrolman asked Shunsuke Nishimaru, and another patrolman was responsible for recording and writing down important time points and details.

   "Okay, so is there anything unusual about your daughter going to school this morning?"

   "Is it abnormal? No, she went to school as usual in the morning."

   "Did you send her?"

   "Uh, no, I can only get up at noon because I have to work at night. Wei Li is very considerate of me. In the morning, I always go to school by the school bus."

  “.”

  After the general questioning, the two patrolmen looked at each other helplessly. Obviously, they couldn't get any information from Shunsuke Nishimaru that would help solve the case.

  One person can only say, "Okay, Mr. Nishimaru, the information you provided is very valuable, but we have to get the school's surveillance video for details. Don't worry, we will find your daughter as soon as possible."

Shunsuke Nishimaru seemed to have calmed down from the previous collapse, but he still anxiously grabbed the policeman's hand, "Please take care of everything! My daughter has a congenital heart disease, please find her as soon as possible." , I really can't live without her"

   While talking, Shunsuke Nishimaru began to sob again.

  Have any congenital heart disease?

   Higashinohara frowned when he heard that, Nishimaru Miri usually looked weak and weak, but the little girl never mentioned it, and he never thought that he would be sick.

  As for congenital heart disease, ordinary and timely surgical treatment will generally improve, but some more complicated or even deformed cases have little surgical effect, and there are even hidden dangers of arrhythmia and hypoxia death at any time.

   After finishing the notes, the two patrolmen were also a little helpless. This kind of disappearance case with no effective clues is the most difficult to solve.

Recently, Tokyo doesn't know why several disappearance cases are still being solved, and they don't have much time to spend here, so they can only reluctantly ask Shunsuke Nishimaru to sign a letter on the transcript after a few words of relief. Letters and other notices.

   "Let's go back and do further investigation. Please keep the communication open. We will contact you as soon as we find anything."

  Staying in this sentence, the two patrolmen in Ogawa Town drove away.

  The tenants watching around looked at Shunsuke Nishimaru, who was devastated. Although his popularity in this building was not very good, his daughter Miri Nishimaru was still very lovable.

  Many people went up and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and some even said that they had forwarded the missing person information on their social networking sites.

  Shunsuke Nishimaru stared in a daze for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly expressed his thanks to those tenants who said they would forward the missing persons information.

   Higashinohara stared at him twice, and retreated calmly when the crowd dispersed.

  Suddenly, someone behind him pushed him.

   Higashinohara turned his head and found that he was stepping on slippers and wearing a chicken nest head, the unscrupulous uncle Aragaki Satoru. This guy looked over Higashinohara to look at Nishimaru Shunsuke who was standing there, and said with a smile:

   "This guy... lied, right?"

   After finishing speaking, he turned to Higashinohara.

   Higashinohara thought of Aragaki Satoru disappearing behind him in the morning, and he probably saw it at that time, so he nodded and said, "Well, Xiao Weili probably didn't go to the school this morning, he got up very early."

   Aragaki Satoru folded his arms around his chest, rubbing his unshaven chin, with a look of interest on his face, "Why did he hide something so interesting? What do you think?"

   Higashinohara knew that Satoru Aragaki used to work in the Metropolitan Police Department, and I heard that he was still at the police level of the Criminal Department.

Later, I was dismissed for some reason, so I inherited the family business and opened this detective agency in an apartment building, but I think I still have some contacts in the Metropolitan Police Department, otherwise it would be impossible to put my daughter Mai Aragaki in the third place after graduating from high school. Investigative Team Internship.

   After thinking for a while, Higashinohara looked at Aragaki Satoru and asked, "Did Mr. Nishimaru pay off the rent owed today?"

   "No, it was paid at noon, and I paid more interest." Aragaki Satoru was stunned for a moment, and said quickly, "He said he was lucky to win a sum of money, what do you mean?"

"I have no idea."

   Higashinohara shook his head with a slightly cold expression.

  He never speculates on the evil of human nature, but he will not naively think that everyone has a bottom line.

   Aragaki Satoru was very straightforward. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After saying hello, he cursed with a smile and hung up the phone, and said to Higashinohara with a smile, "I just contacted a friend from the Metropolitan Police Department, so when he drives over, let's scare him together. scare that guy."

   scare?

   Higashinohara didn’t expect Aragaki Satoru to use his brains to come up with such an inconspicuous solution, and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Is it against the law?”

   Aragaki Satoru slammed his mouth, and said, "It depends on where the law is. As long as I can obtain criminal evidence and let justice be executed, I will not break the law."

  Speaking of this, he looked up at the sky and said leisurely, "Mr. Dongye, you have to remember that if you want to do something, you can't always be fair."

  That's no wonder you were dismissed—seeing the other party's appearance as a life mentor, Higashinohara couldn't help complaining in his heart.

  However, he also really wanted to find the little girl who sweetly called him "big brother" as soon as possible, so he could only hope for Aragaki Satoru, a middle-aged uncle with local connections and connections.

   After a while, a police car came from nowhere and stopped downstairs. After opening the door, a young man in a police uniform, probably in his twenties, jumped out.

  The third floor of the apartment, Aragaki Detective Agency.

  Seeing the young man who pushed the door and entered, Higashinohara was a little surprised at the speed of the other party's efficiency.

  However, when the man saw Aragaki Satoru, his face was not very good-looking, but he just endured the attack, and then looked at Higashinohara who looked like a high school student.

   "I didn't expect you to come so soon, kid, don't worry, you are my own." Aragaki Satoru, who was lying on the boss's chair, waved his hands and smiled.

  During this period, Higashinohara occasionally did some work outside for him, but he was really not an outsider. Besides, he was very concerned about this matter, and nodded to him with a smile on his face.

   "Let me introduce, this is my former proud disciple A Tuo"

Unexpectedly, before Satoshi Aragaki finished speaking, a young man named Taku Morita complained with a straight face, "Master, please do me a favor! Let me go! I may be promoted next year, and I am always asked to do these things." What if someone gets caught? Do you want me to be a police officer for the rest of my life like you? "

The grinning Aragaki Satoru's face froze, and he couldn't hold back his face and scolded, "Stinky boy, what are you talking about? I also had the potential to be the police chief back then, okay? Besides, I will look for you in a year. Cough cough five Six or seven or eight times?"

   "A Tuo, you have changed. When you first joined the team for an internship, you hugged my leg and called me master. You were not so impatient."

   Facing a greasy old fritter like Aragaki Satoru, Morita Taku was obviously not an opponent, so he could only sigh after being defeated.

   "Tell me, who is this time?"

Aragaki, who was lamenting, changed his face at the speed of light, and immediately said with a smile, "As expected of a good apprentice of the master, I didn't love you for nothing back then. Let's go and I will take you upstairs, which is the resident of 505 above. This is what I just sorted out for you." material."

   As he spoke, Aragaki Satoru casually typed on the keyboard to print, and the printer next to him quickly spewed out several A4 papers with photos of Shunsuke Nishimaru and personal family information on them.

   Guys. So fast?

  Higashi Nohara just saw Aragaki Satoru lazily slumped behind the computer happily, and thought that this guy was watching some Wano country-style variety show again, but he didn't expect that he was surprisingly reliable at critical moments.

  The master at the Morita Tuo booth has already accepted his fate. He reached out to take the information and glanced at it. He frowned slightly and asked, "His daughter...is missing today?"

  Taku Morita works in the Second Investigation Section of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. He is mainly responsible for investigating fraud, counterfeit currency, and public officials' malfeasance, bribery and tax evasion.

  The case of missing persons has never been dealt with.

   "Yes, don't worry."

   Aragaki Satoru had already stood up, and took Morita Taku out the door and upstairs.

  He walked and said to Morita Taku who was beside him, "When you knock on the door and go in, don't say anything, just say that you suspect him of defrauding a huge amount of property. I have prepared all the evidence for you."

   "Where is the evidence?"

   Higashinohara, who followed behind, interjected.

   "Oh, I forged it just now."

   Aragaki Goto didn't reply.

   "." Higashinohara.

   This guy really worked as a criminal policeman before?

   Arriving on the fifth floor, at the door of Shunsuke Nishimaru's house, Satoru Aragaki and Taku Morita, the master and apprentice, became strangers who didn't know each other.

  Boom boom boom—!

  The voice of Shunsuke Nishimaru came from the door.

   "Who is it?"

  Outside the door, Aragaki Satoru said leisurely, "Mr. Nishimaru was bothering you. It was me. A policeman was looking for you downstairs just now. I helped bring it up when I was free."

   "Huh? Oh ok please wait a moment."

   After waiting for a long time, the door of room 505 was opened. Shunsuke Nishimaru seemed to have washed up, and his face didn't look as haggard as before.

   "Is there any news about my daughter?" Shunsuke Nishimaru asked Morita Taku, who was wearing the uniform of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Morita Taku didn't speak, but stared at Shunsuke Nishimaru with sharp eyes like an eagle's gaze for a while, until Shunsuke Nishimaru took the initiative to avoid his eyes and said slowly, "Mr. Please also cooperate with the investigation."

  Nishimaru Shunsuke looked up in astonishment.

   "What?"

  Next Developments

  Higashi Nohara can only be described as magical.

  Shunsuke Nishimaru certainly did not admit to his online fraud, but the aggressive Morita Takumi immediately produced evidence-a large amount of unknown funds flowed into Shunsuke Nishimaru's bank account recently.

Aragaki Satoru at the door still poked his head in a cheap manner, "Mr. Police, Nishimaru-san did pay off the half-year rent in arrears today, and he will move soon, ah no! I didn't mean that. I suddenly remembered This doesn't mean that Nishimaru-san must be a fraudster!"

  At the corner of the corridor, Higashinohara was speechless, and Shunsuke Nishimaru, who was confronting Morita Taku inside, was also anxious.

  At first, he insisted that he was lucky enough to win a sum of money recently, but under the pressure of Takuo Morita, he still couldn't tell clearly when, where and how he won.

   A few minutes later, Shunsuke Nishimaru was a little incoherent, "I'm really not Mr. Police, I really didn't cheat!"

"I don't care about this, Mr. Nishimaru, judging from the current situation, maybe you have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department with us. We have professional colleagues who will handle your case. When you can explain it clearly, you can release it." you come back."

   As he spoke, Morita Taku took out a pair of handcuffs from his arms.

  Shunsuke Nishimaru's expression changed upon seeing this.

  His face struggled and hesitated for a while, and suddenly he gave up, gritted his teeth and changed his mouth, "Okay, I confess, I...I lied just now, the money is actually... my daughter's drug testing fee."

  Testing fee?

  Hearing this word, Morita Takumi frowned, Aragaki Satoru at the door and Higashinohara in the corridor looked at each other.

   "What medicine? How much?" Morita Taku asked.

   "My daughter has congenital heart disease, and the other party said it is a special medicine for treating this disease." Shunsuke Nishimaru looked away even more, and whispered very guiltyly, "The cost is five million yen."

  Hmm. It’s almost two years’ wages for a normal office worker, but for someone like Shunsuke Nishimaru who’s in arrears with half a year’s rent, it’s really a lot of money.

  Taku Morita's gaze was a bit unfriendly, "Where did you meet him? You never thought that the other party might be a liar? Is the medicine fake?"

  Shunsuke Nishimaru was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought about this question, but he distinguished:

"No! It can't be a liar! It was introduced by my friend in the nightclub. The other party was very rich and paid me half of the deposit in advance. This is where my money came from. If you don't believe me, I will show you the transfer record later. I really did not cheat, Mr. Police!"

   As he spoke, he hurriedly took out his cell phone.

  If you have money, you won’t be a liar?

   Higashinohara sighed, it is really sad to have such a father at the Nishimaru Miri stall.

   Morita Taku glanced at the transfer records. There were two transactions in total, one from last night and one from this morning, totaling 5 million yen. It seemed that he was not lying.

  He glanced contemptuously at Shunsuke Nishimaru, who was full of panic, then turned his head and looked at Aragaki Satoru, who smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.

  So Morita Takumi patted Nishimaru Shunsuke on the shoulder, "Okay, congratulations on clearing your suspicion of fraud, then I'll take a step forward."

   Morita Takumi was a bit swift and resolute in his work, so he turned around and left without saying anything, and went straight out the door.

   Are you leaving now?

  Shunsuke Nishimaru in the room was taken aback for a moment.

  At the door, Aragaki Satoru leaned lazily on the door frame and asked, "After testing the medicine in the morning, Nishimaru-san, are you sending your daughter to school?"

   "Yes, I bought sushi for her on the way." Shunsuke Nishimaru said hurriedly.

   Aragaki Satoru glanced at him, "But Nishimaru-san, when you reported this incident just now, why didn't you explain it to the police?

"me."

  Shunsuke Nishimaru opened his mouth.

   After all, relying on his daughter to test drugs to make money is not a glorious thing. The key point is that his daughter disappeared at school in the afternoon. How can he say this?

   But people will always find reasons for themselves.

Shunsuke Nishimaru said hesitantly, "The drug testing agency told me that they are a gray industry and they don't want to contact the police. One million of the five million is a hush money. I think it has nothing to do with my daughter's disappearance at school. .So I didn't mention it."

  At the end, he added in a low voice, "Those people look fierce, I'm afraid I can't afford to provoke my daughter."

   "So your daughter has disappeared, do you want to find her?" Aragaki Satoru asked.

   "Of course I want to." Shunsuke Nishimaru hurriedly said, his anxious expression did not seem to be fake.

   Aragaki Satoru said leisurely, "Hehe, if you really want to, then I advise you to contact the police again and report this matter to them completely. Maybe this is the clue to solve the case."

   "Really?" He looked a little hesitant.

   "Don't you want to get your daughter back?"

   "Of course I want to!"

  Shunsuke Nishimaru’s face struggled, and he didn’t know whether he was telling the truth or a lie, but he suddenly gritted his teeth under the sight of Aragaki Satoru who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, “Okay! I’ll report now! Anyway, I won’t live here anymore.”

   As he spoke, he picked up his phone.

   After a while, there was a siren sound downstairs—two patrol officers from the Ogawa Town Police Station received the call and drove back.

  Nishimaru Shunsuke closed the door and went downstairs uneasily.

  In the corridor, Higashinohara pretended to be passing by, looked at Shunsuke Nishimaru, and asked casually:

   "Mr. Nishimaru, I just passed by and heard something. If you don't mind, I would like to ask what are the special medicines for congenital heart disease? Are they really effective? A relative in my hometown also has such a disease."

  Shunsuke Nishimaru looked up and glanced at Higashinohara, and recognized him as the high school student who took care of his daughter last night, nodded and said:

   "It's a peeled orange. They say it's a fruit medicine, and it's a patent issued by the world government. If it's curative, Weili said it was sweet on the way back."

orange?

  Why is it an orange again?

   Higashinohara couldn't help being startled when he heard the words.

  In his mind, he subconsciously recalled the image he saw in the dissection of the Tianhu girl Xia Li—it was also a smooth, plump, bright orange.

what is happening?
