Something's wrong with my roommate

Chapter 16 Burned to Ashes I Know Everything

The fire in the apartment had been extinguished, but the scorched ruins were still emitting light smoke, and the ground was dripping with water left by fire trucks, stained black by ashes.

Hiroshi Takagu stood outside the cordon, looking at the burned-out apartment with a heavy expression.

He was originally a police department of the Metropolitan Police Department, so he couldn't say he had a bright future, at least he was middle-aged, and it would be no problem to climb up a level before retiring.

As a result, he was recently transferred to a special department——Tokyo Supernatural Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters, where he served as the section chief of the Operation Section [-].

Duties were transferred, police ranks were retained, and powers were greatly expanded. An opportunity to jump through the dragon's door was in front of him, but Bosi Gaogu was not happy at all.

Although the countermeasures department has great power and high independence, the casualty rate is also high, and if there is a little carelessness, they can get pensions, which belong to the repeat customers of the hospital and the scheduled customers of the crematorium.

Moreover, these ability users are becoming more and more restless, and the incidents are getting bigger and bigger. It is becoming more and more difficult to fool the masses with the reason for the gas explosion and gas leakage.

No, just after taking office, there was a criminal case of arson and homicide. The victim had a special identity and was an ability user recorded by the countermeasures department.

The countermeasures department is still secretly investigating the specific abilities of this ability user named Kishida Jie. The other party died tragically at home, and the murderer is very likely to be another ability user.

When he thought that he would deal with all kinds of rebellious ability users and vicious criminals in the future, Bosi Gaogu had the idea of ​​resigning and going to sea.

It's not that he blows, because his blowing skills are indeed very powerful, more than enough to be a male actor.

"Mr. Gao Gu."

A young police officer familiar with the Thirty-Six Strategies came over. His name was Masahide Ono. He was originally Hiroshi Takatani's least favorite subordinate.

But how could Hiroshi Takagu let himself enjoy such a good thing as entering the countermeasures department, so he called Ono Masahide in as well.

On the contrary, Masahide Ono was full of fighting spirit, thinking that this was the care and tempering of her superiors: "Director, the victim's friend has been found."

A middle-aged man dressed like a third-rate entertainer came over, nodded and bowed to Hiroshi Takagu: "Hello, sir."

Hiroshi Takagu maintained the posture of a high-ranking official, and said indifferently: "I heard that you and Kishida Jie are very good friends? But it's been a while since we met, can you still recognize him?"

The middle-aged man quickly patted his chest and assured him: "Of course, Ajie and I have been best friends since we were young, and I know him even when he is burned to ashes."

"That's fine."

Hiroshi Takagu pointed to the ashes collected by the forensic doctor not far away: "That is the ashes of Kishida Jie, you go and identify it to see if it is him."

Middle-aged man: "..."

After asking Masahide Ono to take the middle-aged man over to identify him, Hiroshi Takagu stood where he was and sighed again.

His boss asked him to solve the case as soon as possible, but he was helpless.

In addition, after he took office, he also heard that there was a rumor among the ability users in Tokyo that the government couldn't tolerate ability users, so they frequently sent killers to assassinate them.

When he heard this rumor, Hiroshi Takagu just felt it was ridiculous. If the government really wanted to attack the capable people and directly let the Self-Defense Forces do it, how could it be possible to use such a clumsy and inefficient way of killing people.

But at the same time, he is also keenly aware that if this rumor is allowed to spread, there may be sharp confrontation between the government and the ability users, and it will be difficult to make peace.

"Hey, forget it, I'm just a small class leader, let the big shots above worry about this kind of thing."

Boshi Gaogu decided to fish, the more diligent he was, the sooner he would die. This kind of old-fashioned fritters like him can be regarded as the standard.

……

"Yesterday, a short circuit in an apartment in Sumida District caused a fire, and a famous painter died in the flames..."

Xu Cheng was walking on the way back, holding a midnight snack in his hand, and was checking the news on his mobile phone while walking, and soon found news about Jie Kishida.

It seems that the police knew very well that the person who killed Jie Kishida was not an ordinary person, so they simply classified the incident as an accident, so that there would be no pressure to arrest people, which is a habitual operation.

And Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue don't need to face severe investigation. If there are no clues, the matter may even end up in the end. A world where only Kishida Jie is injured has been achieved.

When he saw the news, Xu Cheng actually breathed a sigh of relief. Although the existence of the manager made him unlikely to be caught, it is still good to reduce the risk.

When there is no task, he can't always do it. He doesn't dare to be too rough, lest he accidentally capsize and lose himself in the waves.

"Ok?"

At this time, Xu Cheng suddenly felt the scalp on the back of his head slightly numb, and was being watched from behind by some kind of sight.

It's a wonderful feeling that can't be described in words.
This ability has appeared since Xu Cheng used the killer card. His eyesight has gradually become better, and his senses have also become sharper. He can detect other people's gaze on him, even from behind.

Just now he thought that the government would not track him down, but now he immediately sensed that someone was spying on him, which made Xu Cheng's heart tighten.

He didn't look back hastily, but continued to walk forward.

This is the remote path that he often took a shortcut to go home, and it was night, and there were not many people around.

Xu Cheng walked nonchalantly, turned on the selfie mode on his mobile phone, and quietly poked backwards, only to find that a van was slowly following not far behind him, and the prying eyes came from the car.

Xu Cheng frowned slightly. It stands to reason that only a day had passed, and the Japanese police, who were always stretching their hips in terms of mobility, could not have found him so quickly.

If not the police, who would it be?
At this time, there were three people in the van, besides the driver, there were also two youths with tattoos on their heads, dressed in extreme style.

The young man with the tattoo was smoking a cigarette, puffing, staring at Xu Cheng viciously through the front window of the car: "This damned house, after guarding him for a few days, finally he is willing to get out of the house, so I hate this thing the most." Planting squatting at home is all food-wasting moths."

The hot-headed youth turned his head and asked, "Brother Keigo, this guy is a foreigner, will he be in trouble if he hits him?"

Matsuzaka Keigo popped the cigarette holder out of the car window, and said based on the experience of people who have been here: "What are you afraid of? Drag it into the car and take it away. Who will look for him without relatives or reasons? Those guys in the police will not ask for trouble. At most, they will report to him." just missing."

The driver in front shouted, "Brother Keigo, he's entered the alley."

Xu Cheng, who was in the sight of the three of them, suddenly turned into an alley where only bicycles could be walked, and disappeared.

The driver hurriedly drove the van over, blocking the alley, the door opened, and Keigo Matsuzaka and his companions each jumped out of the car with a baseball bat in their hands.

But when they rushed into the dark alley, they found that Xu Cheng had mysteriously disappeared. They searched around but couldn't find it, with annoyed expressions on their faces.

"Damn it, he ran away."

"Go to his house and block him, I don't believe he can still run."

"Are you looking for me?"
