Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

Hello, hello! Come in.

Mai don't stand still, and quickly pour a glass of water for the guests.

Apartment on the third floor.

Aragaki Detective Agency.

Aragaki Mai, who came back with a stranger, a mixed-race girl, endured it, but decided to save face for her father in front of outsiders, and turned around to pour water with a murmur in her mouth.

On the sofa opposite the coffee table.

The petite Ryoka Shikamu's sitting posture is somewhat restrained, only half of her butt is on the sofa, and her eyes drift to Higashinohara sitting in the corner from time to time - just as she met downstairs, she was led upstairs by the extremely enthusiastic Aragaki Satoru. I haven't had time to ask why Higashinohara is here.

When Mai Aragaki poured the tea over, she quickly got up and took her thanks with both hands, the latter said politely, and turned to stare at Satoru Aragaki behind him.

However, thinking of asking others for help today, I sat aside to make room.

It was rare for Aragaki Satoru to be serious, and he did not despise him because of his age.

A client is a client.

Of course you have to give money.

After a simple and polite greeting, he asked straight to the point:

What's your entrustment, please? Aragaki Office will definitely bring you the most satisfactory service that other private detective firms can't enjoy at the lowest price in the industry.

Lumu Liangxiang didn't seem to get used to the enthusiasm of others towards her, so she turned her body slightly.

To be honest, Higashinohara is also not very used to it. If he encounters someone who is inexplicably warm to him on the street, he will definitely hold his wallet tightly before talking.

However, when she really wanted to talk about something, Lumu Liangxiang had a helpless look on her face, her eyes were slightly red, she sniffed, and she lowered her head and said:

My mother passed away the day before yesterday.

Aragaki Satoru was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with relief, Ah? In that case. Please mourn. Your mother may also wish to see you happy.

Higashinohara glanced at Lumu Ryuka.

He remembered hearing from someone in the class that she was a single-parent family, and that her mother's death must have hit her hard, but Ryoka Shikame looked much stronger than she imagined.

Aragaki Satoru did not urge and waited quietly.

Lumu Ryoxiang snorted, suddenly stood up from the sofa, her bright eyes were full of determination, and she bowed sharply to Aragaki Satoru.

My mother and mother were killed, please believe me.

Seeing that she was a little excited, Aragaki Satoru quickly reassured her, I believe it! Of course I believe that the purpose of our detectives' existence is to search for clues to find out the truth and not let a bad person go, but can you tell me more about it? ?

It's been two days since now.

Ryoka Lumu looked at Satoru Aragaki, who had a sincere face, and then Higashinohara, who was sitting quietly not far away. She felt relieved inexplicably, and she lowered her head and began to tell the story.

Saturday is my birthday. My mother got up early to go to the vegetable market to buy ingredients to make my favorite sukiyaki. At about seven o'clock, I suddenly received a call from my mother. She was in front of the guardrail beside the tram road. called me. And then

Then what happened? Aragaki Satoru asked.

'Police and mother said she ignored the guardrail and walked to the middle of the tracks'

Lumu Ryoka's voice became lower and lower, and then suddenly shook her head vigorously, Impossible! Mother will not commit suicide!

You said. Your mother was talking to your cell phone at that time? Aragaki Satoru asked with a frown.

Mmmm. Lumu Liangxiang nodded.

Did you guys talk about anything?

I was a little confused when I was woken up by the phone, and I just remember that my mother's voice sounded a little joyful, it seemed that she saw someone familiar, and then I heard the sound of the tram.

This is undoubtedly a tragedy.

After listening to Lumu Liangxiang's words, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Aragaki Satoru paused and continued to ask, This happened the day before yesterday. Did you provide this information to the police?

I said it, but the police said that suicide cannot be ruled out. They also said that in the surveillance video, my mother ignored the guardrail, looked straight ahead, walked to the middle of the railroad tracks with a smile, and then the tram came.

They also deduced that my mother may have been too hard to raise me alone, and living in New Tokyo is too stressful, so she chose to commit suicide. But it's not like that. I obviously worked hard to become a mother to rely on.

Lumu Liangxiang was talking, her head lowered, and pea-sized tears rolled down again.

Seeing this, Mai Aragaki hurriedly took a tissue and went over, comforting a few words in a low voice.

Higashinohara probably guessed why the Metropolitan Police Department is inclined to commit suicide, because Wano Country is only 15 subway lines in the new Tokyo metropolitan area, and more than 3,000 rail suicide cases have occurred in the past ten years.

An average of more than 300 cases per year is nothing new at all. From their point of view, the police will naturally save a lot of trouble in follow-up investigations.

This is rather tricky.

Aragaki Satoru also fell into contemplation.

Judging from the information provided by Ryoka Shikame, he is not sure whether this is really a suicide case. After all, even if a famous detective makes a maverick analysis, it will eventually fall into fact. Twist the truth to make money.

In the following time, Satoru Aragaki asked a few questions in a warm voice and carefully.

In the end, he said that the entrusted Aragaki Detective Agency will definitely find out the truth of the matter, and then bid farewell to Ryoka Shikame.

Before leaving, Lumu Ryoka glanced at Higashinohara who was sitting in the corner of the room. Higashinohara didn't explain why she was here, just smiled and nodded to let her go home first.

After Ryoka Shikamura left the office, Satoru Aragaki was silent, and Mai Aragaki, who had been listening for a long time, came up and asked, I think this case is very suspicious. Do you think it will be murder?

Then I'll have to wait until I've seen the video.

Aragaki Satoru rubbed his chin and said to himself, Looks like I'm going to trouble A Tuo again.

The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched slightly, and he thought of that stern-faced young man Takuma Morita. This guy definitely not only troubles people five, six, seven or eight times a year, right?

After Aragaki Satoru finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes drifted to the girl with pointed ears and short silver hair who had been sitting on the seat beside the door since entering the office. At this time, her eyes were staring at the corner without blinking. Higashinohara in the middle of the house——Could it be that he had a crush on this kid.

It's not possible, Dongye's handsomeness is a bit like my style back then.

Aragaki Satoru turned his head to look at Aragaki Mai, and whispered towards the door, Why did you bring a god to my office? Is there any business entrustment? Tsk tsk, the entrustment of the gods is not easy. .

She's half-breed.

After Aragaki Mai finished speaking, she glared at Satoru Aragaki angrily, Don't you often complain that I don't come to the detective agency to help me after graduation? Well, she is the new employee I introduced to you.

New employee? Aragaki Satoru was taken aback.

Charlie V. Prudence, who was sitting on a chair at the door, seemed to hear someone calling her. The pointed ears on her head suddenly moved, she stood up suddenly, and bowed deeply to Satoru Aragaki. He recited fluently without looking back:

Hello boss! My name is Xia Li, I am from Okinawa Prefecture. My specialty is running and fighting. I am cheerful, hard-working, optimistic, sociable, and dare to face challenges.

Wait a minute!

Aragaki Satoru interrupted Xia Li's job introduction, turned to look at his daughter, rubbed her forehead and said, I remembered! Isn't she the Tmall girl thief who was wanted last week?

That's a misunderstanding, and Charlie-chan is also a victim.

Aragaki Mai explained aloud, The manager of the stolen jewelry club is a pervert, illegally banning women, and now he has been arrested, and then Xia Li was kidnapped and imprisoned in the basement of the villa. Poor.

The basement of the villa?

Aragaki Satoru suddenly became interested, Is it the Minato Villa that was mentioned on the news this morning that exploded and caught fire last night? I saw a reporter photographed that the Metropolitan Police Department secretly escorted a group of people this morning. The missing young man comes home.

Don't ask if you shouldn't know!

Aragaki Mai didn't answer this, and continued with a pouting mouth, Anyway, that's how it is, Xia Li has now been acquitted, but she has no money to go back to her hometown for the time being, and wants to find a job that can satisfy her in New Tokyo, you Don't you often tell me that the office is short of people? Don't say I didn't remind you, Xia Li is still a third-order ability person of the spiritual system!

Able person? Aragaki Wu's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he said with some uncertainty, Just eat enough?

Don't try to make a fool of yourself!

Aragaki Mai is definitely the one who knows her father the most. Hearing this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, Of course the salary will also be paid. By the way, Xia Li doesn't have a place to live now, so she has to provide accommodation.

How does this little padded jacket turn his elbows out?

Will you get married in the future?

At this time, Higashinohara, who had not spoken much, heard that the conversation between the two included the fire at the Odaiba villa in Minato District last night, and it also involved the missing persons in New Tokyo recently.

After thinking about it in his heart, he still asked, Mai-senpai, was there a little girl who looked like five or six years old among the missing at the Odaiba villa last night?

Aragaki Mai was stunned when he heard it, and Aragaki Satoru next to him added, A little girl was missing from the upper floor of our apartment. We called the police last week but there was no result. His father packed up and moved out yesterday. The little girl and the Tono-kun has a good relationship.

After listening to Satoru Aragaki's explanation, Mai Aragaki looked at Higashinohara with an apologetic look.

I'm sorry, Junior Brother Dongye. This is a confidential matter for the time being. There are rules in the team. I can't reveal too much right now, but I will help you pay attention to any news.

Higashinohara just wanted to know how the people from the Metropolitan Police Department dealt with Nishimaru Miri's body, and where it would be buried after the festival.

Aragaki Satoru smacked his mouth twice beside him, and said thoughtfully, Is it still a secret? It's probably a case involving the gods, right? Tsk tsk, those guys from the Metropolitan Police Department can really bear it! Turtle hahaha

Aragaki Mai immediately felt being scolded together, and she was so angry that she loudly differentiated, What does this have to do with us? We are only responsible for arresting people, obviously the ministers from the Prosecutor's Office and the cabinet and the celestial councilors of the world government. Congruent.

Really? I don't believe it.

Aragaki Satoru pouted, The Police Department is not a stupid daughter, you think so spotless, hehe, I really want to bring those celestial beings to justice, there are ways.

Aragaki Mai couldn't help but get angry when she heard the words, How? Then tell me. Can we bypass the Prosecutor's Office and the World Government to convict Heaven and Man?

Of course not.

Aragaki Satoru shook his head without saying a word, but seeing that Aragaki Mai's expression was not right, he immediately stopped talking, and pointed to the computer with a smile, You don't need to bypass it, but you can take advantage of it, it's not true once in the history of Wano Kingdom. I've never done a case against the gods.

How do you take advantage of it, you mean.

As soon as Mai Aragaki said what he said, people reacted somewhat—of course, what his unreliable father said was not borrowing the power of the computer, but the pressure of public opinion from netizens behind countless computers.

Can that work?

Aragaki Mai said hesitantly.

It's different now.

Aragaki Satoru suddenly said with a vicissitudes of life, The real world aristocrats in history, the Nine Great Masters of Heaven and Man have now retreated behind the scenes. How big of a background do those human traffickers have even if they are gods? The world government, but you have to weigh the pros and cons for the position under your own ass, and take into account the thoughts of the majority of the people.”
