white night syndrome

Chapter 3 003. Fingerprint
"Is Mr. Li Ming here? We are from the Chiba County Police Department. We have some questions about Mr. Mashiba Taketa and would like to ask and exchange with you."

Inside the room, the conversation between Jiang Wenkan and Li Ming was interrupted by the sudden voice, and they looked at each other in unison.

"Policemen?"

"Really Chai Wutai?"

"Wait, this name is a bit familiar."

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, he made a "shush" gesture to Jiang Wenkan and walked towards the door.

Lifting the curtain used to cover the glass on the door, I saw several uniformed policemen standing outside the office door.

The one in the lead is waiting for something with folded hands at the moment, while the person next to him has attracted most of Li Ming's eyes. Although through the glass, it is almost impossible to see what he is holding in his hand, but there is something in Li Ming's memory. An item overlaps with that thing.

Yes. That touch of blue.

Curiosity welled up, Li Ming's chest was pounding, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Mr. Li Ming, please open the door, otherwise we will take extraordinary measures."

Outside the door, the two policemen were obviously a little impatient, and through the only window through which they could negotiate with the outside world, one could see the displeased expressions on their faces.

But Li Ming noticed a detail, although the man in the police uniform next to him could see the same impatient emotion on his face, but why... felt his face was very stiff?
Turning the doorknob open, the sun shines everywhere, Li Ming subconsciously took a step back.

"Tsk, it's really slow."

The leading policeman didn't notice Li Ming's small movements, he muttered a little impatiently, took out his ID from his pocket and signaled to the young man in front of him.

"I'm Saito Sobayashi from the police station in Chiba Prefecture. I'm here to ask some information about Mr. Mashiba Taketa. It's a visit. Please don't worry."

"Excuse me, what's wrong with Mr. Zhenshibawutai?" Li Ming pursed his lips, turned around and took out a new piece of white paper. After writing on it, he showed it to Saito who was staring at him with sharp eyes.

"You?" Saito obviously had never encountered such a sudden situation, he frowned slightly, and asked tentatively.

"Ah, that's right, Police Officer Saito, my friend had a car accident when he was a child and lost his language function, so he can only communicate by writing on white paper."

Seeing another person in the office, the person next to Saito raised his eyebrows, but continued to follow behind Saito without speaking or making any movements.

"Ah, sorry, I surprised you by my sudden words. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Wenkan. Like Mr. Li Ming, I am a Japanese temporary resident from China."

Jiang Wenkan smiled slightly, perhaps because he was born with the talent to activate the atmosphere, so he was still able to smile in this almost stagnant air.

"Then, may I ask, what happened to Mr. Zhenchai Wutai? It made two police officers come to visit so aggressively." Jiang Wenkan asked curiously with one hand on his chin, "If I remember correctly, this Mister is an employee of a printing company nearby."

"That's right, we received a report yesterday. His wife said that Mr. Mashiba Taketa hadn't returned home from the company for three days. We suspect that Mr. Mashiba is missing." Saito nodded, expressing his intention to the two.

"Missing? What a pity, it seems that many people have disappeared recently."

Jiang Wenkan's tone was frivolous, and he blinked: "Then, did Officer Saito go to his company to check? It's normal for a man of Mr. Mashiba's age to occasionally spend the night outside or go to a custom shop to have fun."

"Tsk." Saito smacked his lips.

"This gentleman's words are very interesting." The man who had not moved much snorted softly, "We came to visit Mr. Mashiba's company after we finished. If we find anything, will we come to you?"

"So what did you find?" Jiang Wenkan grinned.

Li Ming who was at the side couldn't help but sweat for his friend, knowing that the atmosphere was already suffocating, but he was still so heartless, didn't he feel that man was aggressive towards you?

However, regarding Jiang Wenkan's evaluation of Zhenchai, Li Ming was not surprised, because Jiang was originally an informant who specially collected information for him?

Before going to a place, he will definitely investigate all the people and events around this place, and because of his special occupation, there are quite a few ways to obtain information.

"People from the company said that he hasn't come to work for three days. This is the same as what his wife said, and the timeline of the two basically coincides." Saito continued.

"However, according to my colleagues in the company, the last time I saw Mr. Mashiba was around nine o'clock in the evening four days ago. Going in the back direction."

"No way, this police officer whose name I don't know, you have already found such a clear route, the truth is ahead, my friend." Jiang Wenkan flicked his bangs on his forehead, with a playful tone.

"It is indeed the truth."

The man snorted softly, and raised the sealed bag that he had been holding tightly in his hand. Inside was the task card that Li Ming had found in the almost real wooden house before.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Li Ming, and Mr. Jiang Wenkan, the people of Kesouyan found Mr. Li Ming's fingerprints on this work card."

As soon as the voice fell, the air froze instantly.

Li Ming's face changed slightly, but the habit he had developed over a long period of time made him not change his expression.

"fingerprint."

"Could it be that time?"

After hearing such news, Li Ming's brain started to work rapidly, and shallow restlessness vaguely appeared in his eyes.

"Then, Mr. Li Ming, can you explain why your fingerprints were found on Mr. Zhenchai's work card?" The man continued to pursue the victory.

Jiang Wenkan suddenly laughed at this time, disturbing the frozen air, everyone looked sideways, and several people's eyes gathered on him.

"I said, Mr. Police Officer, you should have seen it outside. My friend runs a detective agency. As a private investigator, it is understandable that he can get in touch with Mr. Mashiba."

The young man made an exaggerated expression, while taking out a pair of glasses from his pocket, and put them on his face.

"My suggestion is, you might as well ask Mr. Zhenchai's wife if she has done anything bad behind Mr. Zhenchai's back~" Jiang Wenkan adjusted his glasses.

"Mr. Police Officer, what you need to know is that the creatures who claim to be at the top of nature's food chain have the most complicated minds~"

　Some people think that this book has two male protagonists. Let me clarify that it is not. In addition, is the dialogue description of the characters in this chapter better?
