Chapter 123

"Inspector Megure, you know?"

Nobunobu Chiba looked at Inspector Megure with a look of astonishment.

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Juzo Megure felt as if he had been underestimated?

His eyes were not lacking, and he was not a person who couldn't understand the atmosphere; he completely didn't know how many people in the Metropolitan Police Department wanted to pursue Officer Sato.

"There are so many bachelors in the Metropolitan Police Department; can I not know how many people have their eyes on Officer Sato?"

"However, matters of emotion are Officer Sato's own business."

"Those guys wanting to pursue is also their own business, as long as they have completed their own duties."

Juzo Megure never opposed the dating problems of members within the Metropolitan Police Department.

The Metropolitan Police Department had never made a hard rule saying that internal police officers could not date.

Even the Metropolitan Police Department was very supportive of police officers solving their marriage problems internally.

So Juzo Megure knew those who wanted to pursue Officer Sato, and he was happy to see those guys do so.

As for how Officer Sato finally decides, that is Officer Sato's own idea.

Others can complete their work quite well.

Juzo Megure wouldn't say anything else, but the problem is Takagi?

Did he complete his work?

Obviously not.

Since not, then there is nothing to say; go and clarify his identity as a police officer first.

If he can't clarify it, then leave the First Investigation Division and return to the Traffic Department.

"Chiba, go remind that idiot Takagi."

"Yes, I understand!"

After turning and leaving, Chiba wiped the sweat from his head.

Takagi, you should focus your mind this time.

Although he and Takagi talked quite well, principles cannot be changed.

If Takagi cannot adapt to the work of the First Investigation Division, then he will still have to be repatriated to the Traffic Department when the time comes.

Two hours later, as the sun rose, the girls in the hot spring inn also woke up from their dreams one by one.

"Ugh..."

Miwako Sato, who was sleeping near the entrance, was the first to wake up.

Sitting blankly on the bedding, it took a while to recover from the daze of just waking up.

"...Bedding?"

Miwako Sato's head was a bit confused.

But a figure soon appeared in her mind.

Was it him?

In the entire hot spring inn, besides those bodyguards, it seemed there was only one boy who could pick her up.

She, who exercised frequently, still had self-knowledge.

Her weight was much heavier than other women of the same age.

Sure enough, my feeling was right.

He just gives me the feeling of an elder.

Hmm, his way of doing things is a bit like a father.

Miwako Sato pursed her lips, always feeling that she had been inexplicably taken advantage of.

However, this feeling of being taken care of was actually not bad.

Shaking her head, she immediately sat up from the bedding.

Now she needed to contact Inspector Megure; now she needed to report the information here.

She immediately took out her phone and dialed the number.

"Good morning, Inspector Megure."

"There is no problem inside the hot spring inn; there was no raid by drug traffickers last night."

Juzo Megure, who received the news, also relaxed.

It was truly a blessing that the young ladies didn't have any accidents.

The drug traffickers were controlled, and the young ladies were fine; this business trip to Moon Shadow Island was successfully completed.

Next was the problem of controlling the subsequent drug traffickers.

"Officer Sato, you did a great job."

"Yes!"

Miwako Sato's mood was also good at this moment.

"Then Inspector Megure, have those drug traffickers all been caught?"

"The leaders of the drug traffickers in the community center have all been captured."

"Most of the leaders have already confessed the drug trafficker members that should be confessed, and now they are starting to perform blood tests on civilians."

"Preparing to screen for other hidden drug traffickers."

Miwako Sato understood that the drug traffickers at the community center couldn't run away.

"Then what about the back mountain?"

"The back mountain... the drug traffickers there have all been killed."

"The remaining work is being handled by our detectives."

Miwako Sato was slightly stunned, and in her heart, she understood that Inspector Megure had hidden part of the matter.

She didn't continue to pursue it.

Inspector Megure's concealment from her was definitely not intentional, but rather something she shouldn't know.

"Officer Sato, your guard work should end after they go back."

"I'll have to trouble you with the things over there."

"Yes!"

After ending the call, Miwako Sato lay back down.

"Inspector Megure seems to have been busy for a whole night."

"The back mountain... what exactly happened that even Inspector Megure is hiding from me?"

Inspector Megure's deliberate concealment was just not wanting her to know.

The back mountain was the drug traffickers' base; obviously, some not-so-good things happened in the back mountain.

"It seems to be a very serious situation, not suitable for me to know."

After collecting herself.

Miwako Sato didn't dwell on it anymore.

Some things really shouldn't be overly dwelled upon; even if she wanted to know, she would need to learn the specific situation from Inspector Megure.

"Are you up?"

Just as Miwako Sato relaxed, a familiar voice arrived along with footsteps.

Looking over, the corners of Miwako Sato's eyes curled up slightly.

She supported her body with both hands and sat up.

"Thank you for yesterday."

"Not yesterday, it's morning."

Ren Amamiya corrected the facts, then sat down next to Miwako Sato.

"We are going back today."

"Tomorrow is Monday, a day for classes."

"But you guys probably didn't have a very comfortable weekend vacation."

"Running into things like drug traffickers, the time that could have been relaxing was wasted."

Ren Amamiya also admitted this point.

This weekend was indeed not well relaxed, after all, they ran into things like drug traffickers and evil spirits.

However, this weekend was not without value.

Even to say that he gained quite a few benefits from this trip to Moon Shadow Island.

"Officer Sato as well, the work of the Metropolitan Police Department shouldn't be too easy for a period of time in the future."

"The area radiated by those drug traffickers using Moon Shadow Island as a stepping stone is near Tokyo."

"For a period of time after this, I'm afraid all the drug traffickers near Tokyo will be rooted out one by one."

"And this work should be the long-term work of the Metropolitan Police Department for a long time to come."

"Is that so..."

Miwako Sato also felt that this was the case.

She looked at the boy in front of her, thought of Inspector Megure's concealment from her just now, and she subconsciously wanted to ask.

"Do you know about the back mountain?"
