"The trustworthy fourth runner, Mr. Zhu Baomanxiong."

Also 50 years old, but overweight, he is the president of a financial company.

"And there's also the beautiful team manager, Ms. Diantiao Diezi."

That old lady, she's a 49-year-old fashion boutique owner...

Chapter 287 I know the secret of the Sorrowful Lover!

Sato looked at his father's friends and asked,

"By the way, how did you two end up together today?"

“We haven’t been in touch for a long time, so we got together for a drink,” Saruwatari replied.

"I'm also here to say hello to our former captain." Lu Ye placed the flowers by the roadside.

“He would definitely get angry if we didn’t invite him before,” Zhu Bao sighed.

Just as they were talking, Koshimizu received a call from Megure.

"What? Someone spotted someone who looks like the arsonist?"

Yue Shui was surprised and couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Officer Takagi, Matsuda-senpai, Sato-senpai,"

After hanging up the phone, Yue Shui called out,

"The criminal is on the sixth street in Shinagawa. We need to get there quickly."

"Ah? Oh!"

Upon hearing that a criminal was to be arrested, Takagi quickly reached into his pockets.

"The police manual and the pistol are here, oh no! I forgot the handcuffs on the table."

As he was patting his head in distress, Koshimizu and Sato walked over.

"What are you thinking about all day, you idiot?" Sato shook his head in disappointment.

"It's alright, we still have Officer Sato and Officer Matsuda Koshimizu."

Takagi forced a smile.

"And today is my lucky day too. The fortune-telling magazine said I'm super lucky today."

Fortune telling? Handcuffs?

Sato was instantly drawn into his memories by those words from the depths of his mind.

Was that what Dad said the same thing that day?

He also forgot to bring his handcuffs that day.

Thinking of this, Sato reached into his clothes, intending to take out his handcuffs and lend them to Takagi.

But when he saw Matsuda standing to the side, he suddenly stopped.

"Matsuda, lend the handcuffs to Takagi," Sato said.

"Then what should I use?"

As Matsuda asked the question, he took out his own handcuffs and tossed them to Takagi.

"You use mine,"

Sato took out his own handcuffs and put them into Matsuda's hand.

"This..." Matsuda took it and glanced down at it, "The handcuffs are rusty?"

“These are my father’s belongings.”

Sato explained in a low voice,

"My handcuffs broke last time, so I'm using them as a talisman for now. Take good care of them and don't forget to return them to me later."

Wow, something this important!

Matsuda blinked, and under Takagi's envious gaze and Koshimizu's resentful look, he quickly put the handcuffs into his pocket!

......

Having learned of the suspected perpetrator's whereabouts, Matsuda and the others immediately got into the car and headed to Shinagawa Sixth Street.

Midway through the journey, while driving, Koshimizu glanced at Matsuda, who was deep in thought in the back seat, and asked in surprise,

"Senior, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Matsuda shifted his hips to make himself more comfortable.

"I'm thinking about that Shusiro. Besides the video and the name Shusiro, I think I heard Sato mention that there was a katakana character called カソオ in her father's notebook. What does it mean?"

Uh, there are even these hidden clues...

Takagi's enthusiasm was dampened once again.

カソオ, カソオ, カソオ......

Yue Shui also lowered his head and began to ponder.

Sato has already said that whoever solves this puzzle first can grant any request.

If she could solve this puzzle before the others...

Perhaps this will allow Officer Sato and Senior Matsuda to separate?

"Huh? Hey! Look ahead! We're about to crash into the guardrail!"

While driving, Matsuda noticed something was amiss.

Looking up, he quickly reached out and corrected the steering wheel in Yue Shui's hands.

The four men arrived at Shinagawa Sixth Street, where a uniformed police officer was standing.

Sato pulled out his badge and asked directly, "I'm Inspector Sato from the First Investigation Division. Where is the suspect you reported?"

"He was walking towards Shinagawa Station, and our men were following behind him."

After the police officer finished speaking, he pointed in a direction.

"Great, let's go!"

Takagi was so excited that he took off running.

Watching Takagi's departing figure, Matsuda slapped his forehead helplessly: "Aren't we going to drive there?"

As they approached Shinagawa Station, Matsuda and his group finally spotted the suspect.

"Shall we start the arrest now, Matsuda-senpai?" Koshimizu asked eagerly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Matsuda pointed to the station.

"First, have the Shinagawa Police Station officers set up a perimeter at the station to ensure there are no mishaps during the arrest. Although the target is only one person, there's a possibility of accomplices. If a riot breaks out, the four of us alone won't be able to control the situation. This is a busy street with heavy traffic,"

"As a police officer, you must remember that our job is not just to arrest criminals..."

After saying that, he glanced at Takagi, who seemed about to say something.

"Do you have anything to add?"

"Huh? No." Takagi replied blankly.

Yue Shui was a newcomer and lacked experience in arrests, which was understandable.

But just now, upon seeing the suspect, Takagi's first reaction was also to move forward and arrest him.

Luckily I didn't say it out loud...

For the first time, Takagi felt somewhat relieved about his slow reaction.

"Sato, contact the Shinagawa Police Station right now."

After Matsuda finished speaking, he gently climbed over the railing.

"I'll go follow him first. You guys wait for the Shinagawa Police Station to arrive, set up the defenses, and then come over. Remember to be quick."

"Um, um... Officer Matsuda, you're jaywalking!"

Takagi, with a forced smile, intended to stop Matsuda's behavior.

But seeing Matsuda's reckless driving and the drivers who braked suddenly sticking out their noses and yelling,

All of this caused Takagi to unconsciously lower her volume to the minimum.

......

Come to think of it, this guy is exceptionally young and doesn't have a beard.

Matsuda noticed the long-haired man; he didn't seem to be the unkempt person Ayumi had described.

Furthermore, there was no smell of gasoline on him, so the possibility of him being an arsonist is very low.

Despite thinking this, Matsuda still followed him into Shinagawa Station.

As soon as the man reached the platform and saw the uniformed police officers, he immediately tried to run away.

But Matsuda pounced on him like a tiger and wolf from behind, pinning him to the ground.

"I am Detective Jinpei Matsuda from the First Investigative Division. I suspect you are involved in the recent arson case."

The uniformed police officer who came forward held him down, and Matsuda squatted down in front of him and placed his police ID in front of him.

Are you willing to cooperate with our investigation?

"I...I'm not the arsonist!" the man said in a panic.

A moment later, Matsuda stood up, walked over to Sato, and shrugged.

"A burglar broke into the house. Unfortunately, he's not the person we're looking for. Let the Shinagawa Police Station take him away."

Seeing that he had nothing to do with the arsonist, Takagi sat down on a nearby bench with a sense of relief.
