I'm writing a diary in Zongman

The name of the barbecue restaurant is Niuqi. Ren Amamiya doesn’t quite understand the meaning of it, but she always feels that the name of this restaurant does not seem like it would be opened by an Japanese person.

When you walk inside, you can see a row of independent rooms on the side, and there are also public areas outside.

But the public area outside was already full of people.

Miwako Sato walked straight to the cashier.

"Hello, I'm Sato who made the reservation."

"Ah, it's Ms. Sato."

The cashier just glanced at Sato Miwako and immediately came to his senses. He took out the registration book and saw Sato Miwako's name written on it.

"Ms. Sato, the private room you reserved is ready. You can go over now."

The cashier then took out a door card.

"Well, thank you."

After taking the door card, Sato Miwako turned around and said, "Follow me," and then she took Amamiya Ren into the reserved private room.

The room was opened with a key card, and Sato Miwako was the first to enter the private room.

The charcoal fire inside was already burning red, and there was a lot of meat on the table, which looked like it had been prepared long ago.

There is an air intake at the top of the center, which can absorb all the carbon dioxide generated by the charcoal fire, so there is no need to worry about carbon dioxide poisoning in the private room.

There is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass on the side close to the wall. Sitting here, you can have a good view of the scenery outside. The interior decoration is also quite exquisite. There are wines and drinks on the cabinets next to it. It really looks like a very nice place.

It was obvious that the reservation price here would not be very low, but Amamiya Ren did not ask about the price. Since they already knew that this place was reserved in advance, Sato Miwako probably didn't intend to ask him to pay.

PS: Please provide data for the new book.

Chapter 371 The real culprit of the Qiu Silang incident

There was a sizzling sound of frying on the iron plate in the room, but it did not affect the conversation between the two people in the room.

"By the way, was the detective who let the thief go yesterday punished?"

Amamiya Ren was still quite curious about Officer Nakamori's situation.

"The inspector from the Second Investigation Division?"

Thinking back to what Yumi said to her this morning, Sato Miwako shook her head slightly.

"I heard from Yumi that the inspector is actually considered a very capable detective in the Second Investigation Division. Plus, he's always been in charge of catching the Kaito Kid. Even though he always gets away, it's because of him that the Second Investigation Division doesn't fail to show up even when someone gets away. So they let that inspector off lightly, and only gave him verbal criticism."

"But I heard from Yumi that there's another reason. It seems that many of the inspectors in the Second Investigation Division are unwilling to take on the task of capturing Kaito Kid. Only Inspector Nakamori is willing to take on such a thankless task."

"Investigation Section 2 considered that if Inspector Nakamori was punished, there would be no one left to carry out the task of catching Kaito Kid, so they chose to let it go."

"Is this the last fig leaf that the Second Division uses against the thief?"

Although it sounds outrageous, Amamiya Ren feels that this is the truth.

Since there was no one in charge of the Second Investigation Division, the responsibility had to be thrown to Detective Nakamori.

Fortunately, this person is really willing to take on this responsibility.

Therefore, the entire Investigation Section 2 did not punish Detective Nakamori at all, especially when they knew that no one wanted to face Kaito Kid.

This is clearly an attempt to shirk responsibility.

But who made the Kaito Kidd story such a pile of shit?

A thief who cannot be caught is a big trouble to any criminal policeman.

Moreover, most detectives are not good at deciphering the riddles sent by Kaito Kid.

Therefore, instead of taking the responsibility yourself, it would be better to entrust the task of capturing Kaito Kid to a detective who is willing to take responsibility and whose brain circuit can keep up with Kaito Kid.

"Um……"

Miwako Sato felt a little complicated when she learned about this, but she could generally understand why no one was willing to take over the Kaito Kid incident.

"It's not that the detectives in the Second Investigation Division have a problem. Ultimately, they're better at solving fraud, commercial crimes, and crimes committed by public officials. They're still a bit lacking in handling mobile criminals like Kaito Kid. Their mobility can't compare to the detectives on the front lines."

"Plus, Kaito Kid's behavior is more like that of a magician who likes to show off his skills. The detectives from Investigation Section 2 are probably not very good at dealing with such a thief."

"Although the thief hasn't done anything outrageous so far, and he doesn't target the gems for wealth, it seems he just wants to show off his skills. He returns the gems within two days of stealing them."

"That kind of deliberate, toy-like attitude is infuriating. But it's precisely because Kaito Kid is so slippery and ruthless that Investigation Section 2 is trying to shirk responsibility when faced with Kaito Kid's case."

Amamiya Ren nodded slightly. Facing a thief who is good at disguise would indeed be a headache for the detectives.

"What about Miwako? I often hear that some people like that thief. Do you like that kind of thief?"

"Of course I don't."

Miwako Sato naturally didn't like the thief who fooled the police just to show off his skills.

"But I can probably understand why a lot of young people like that thief."

"Because that thief did a lot of things that everyone wants to do but doesn't dare to do. Every action that thief took was a show of skill, just like a magician performing a show for guests on stage."

"Those who like Kaito Kidd aren't actually that bad. They just think that thief is funny."

"It's just that I personally don't like that kind of thief."

She could understand that some young people liked Kaito Kid, but she herself couldn't like such a thief.

"In fact, the thief had his reasons for taking action. Just like the question you wanted to ask me, he was also investigating something. Something that forced him to step onto the stage."

"Eh……"

After listening to what Amemiya Ren said, Sato Miwako realized that Amemiya Ren knew the identity of Kaito Kid.

But she didn't continue to ask this question.

Because she also heard Amamiya Ren say that Kaito Kid was doing the same thing as her.

Although she didn't like a thief who always played tricks on the detectives, if the thief had some hidden secrets, all she could do was not to ask.

“It’s true that everyone has their own reasons for their actions.”

Sato Miwako shook her head slightly and changed the subject again.

"So, Amamiya, can you tell me who caused my father's death in the line of duty?"

"Naturally."

Amamiya Ren nodded slightly without keeping anyone in suspense.

He took out a deck of tarot cards, shuffled them briefly, and then drew three cards from the deck.

Upright Devil, Upright Moon, Upright Death.

"'Demons, the moon, and the god of death... What a sad outcome."

A picture appeared in my mind. It was the clearest revelation that had ever happened, given by Tarot divination.

"Eighteen years ago, your father was investigating a bank robbery. However, the robber was wrapped up very tightly, and the surveillance camera was destroyed. All that was left was a few brief moments of footage."

"However, your father was able to confirm the identity of the robber through that image and the description of the criminal's height by the eyewitness at the scene."

"Unfortunately, an accident occurred on the way to bring the prisoner back, which resulted in your father being hit by a car and dying in a car accident."

Miwako Sato clenched her fists.

"After the car accident, Dad kept saying Qiu Silang to the escaped criminal. The detective in charge of the case conducted a very detailed investigation. My mom and I kept thinking about the meaning of those words, but we don't remember Dad ever knowing such a person."

"Well, you won't find it if you look in this direction."

Amamiya Ren could only say that the direction was wrong, so naturally no clues could be found.

Under Sato Miwako's astonished gaze, he continued speaking.

"Your father was hit by a truck and his body was already extremely weak. Plus, it rained heavily 18 years ago, and one of the syllables of his words was muffled by the sound."

"Not Qiu Silang, but to surrender yourself."

"If the witnesses back then could remember what your father said to the escaped prisoner, perhaps the detectives would have already turned their attention to your father's circle of acquaintances."

"The person who left his living environment 18 years ago was actually the culprit who caused your father's final car accident."

"Also, the criminal's name is Shikano Shuji."

"!?"

PS: Please give me some good news when the new book is put on the shelves.

Chapter 372 I Can't Let Him Go

Miwako Sato has always been speculating about the murderer who caused her father to die in the line of duty 18 years ago, but she never thought that the real murderer was actually one of her father's best friends.

"How could it be him……"

After getting the answer, Sato Miwako obviously found it difficult to accept this fact.

But, this is the fact, this is the truth.

Miwako Sato took a deep breath and remembered that her father's good friend seemed to have gone to live abroad since she didn't know when, and it seemed that he would only come back on the anniversary of her father's death every year.

In the past, she just thought that the man was commemorating his father, but now after getting the answer, she realized that he was not commemorating his father, but waiting for the end of the prosecution period.

"It turned out to be him..."

After getting the answer, Sato Miwako gradually understood the meaning of the name hidden in her father's manual, Kan-o. The name should be ka-no.

So, the manual clearly revealed the truth from the beginning. It was only because of a twist that the secret was kept for 18 years.

She always thought Qiu Silang was the name, but who knew that Qiu Silang was the advice her father gave to the murderer, asking the murderer to surrender himself.

The Kan-o written in Dad's police manual is the murderer's real name.

"Incredible?"

"Yeah. I didn't expect that 943's father's friend would be the murderer who killed him."

"No, your father's friends didn't mean to kill him."

Amemiya Ren interrupted Sato Miwako's inference and corrected some of her wrong ideas.

"Your father had exposed Shikano Shuji's bank robbery and captured him, preparing to take him back to the Metropolitan Police Department. But on the way, Shikano Shuji decided his life was over, and rather than be caught, he might as well end his own life. With this thought in mind, he rammed a passing truck."

"However, your father instinctively pushed Shikano Shuji aside, and ended up being hit by the car accident himself."

"Noticing that your father had been in a car accident, Shikano Shuji felt he had an opportunity and chose to escape without any hesitation."

"Also, it was because your father was too ruthless and didn't handcuff Shikano Shuji that he had the opportunity to escape."

After hearing the whole story, Sato Miwako lowered her head in a daze.

"I see...so Dad is still the same..."

Perhaps she could understand her father's feelings at the time. His best friend turned out to be a bank robber. He hoped that his friend could turn himself in, so that the punishment could be mitigated.

Who would have known that the friend my dad tried so hard to protect didn't accept his kindness, but instead used self-destructive means to push my dad into the abyss.

Thinking of what her father had experienced 18 years ago, Sato Miwako took a deep breath and realized that one should not have excessive mercy on some criminals.

Also, the first thing you need to consider when catching a criminal is whether he can escape or kill himself, so as to avoid being hurt by a self-destructive criminal.

Miwako Sato tried to calm down after knowing the truth. At this moment, she knew the truth of that year, and the depression in her heart could finally be relieved.

The culprit who caused my father's death has finally surfaced, and the next thing we need to deal with is the person involved.

"He lives abroad now, but he always comes back on the anniversary of my father's death. Now I know he feels guilty about my father's death and wants to avoid the statute of limitations for causing his death."

"This year should be the last year of the statute of limitations, and the day he returns will be the last day of the statute of limitations."

"If I hadn't taken care of him that day, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to arrest him using normal means."

Amamiya Renya nodded uncertainly.

"But you have to remember, Miwako, that he's always been aware of the statute of limitations, and that it's been extended after the murderer left the country. Your hope of arresting him through normal means is futile."

"Since he's stalling for time, he must know why you're looking for him, so he'll definitely force himself to get through that day. As long as he gets through that day, the psychological pressure on him will be gone. Even if your father died because of him, 18 years have still passed."

"He spent a long time abroad to avoid the statute of limitations. You can't easily trick someone like him with just a few words."

"I know."

Miwako Sato also knew that Shuji Kano would definitely force time to pass. Once that person escaped the final prosecution period, she would have no chance of sending him to jail.
