Chapter 73 064. Shiraki
"I'm sorry to disturb your happy time in the izakaya, Mr. Li Ming, and Mr. Minamoto Seitama."
The visitor spoke in a brisk voice and raised his hand He picked up the criminal police ID he took out from his pocket, played with the disassembled silver handcuffs in his right hand, and came to the table of the two of them in full view of everyone.
“As for the disappearance of Mr. Taketa Mashiba, Mr. Li Ming is still very suspicious. As for Mr. Minamoto Seitama, I don’t know what your job is, but you often appear at the scene of the crime. Judging from this record, you are also very suspicious."
"So, come with me? I will prepare a cup of hot tea for you two guests who have come from afar. ”
Li Ming's face was a little gloomy. Although he also understood the reason why the detective hated him, the lingering ghosts these few times made it even more difficult for him to tolerate this guy.
"Really? Officer Saito Sobayashi, the confession I recorded in your office was for work reasons, and it was later confirmed. I don't understand how many times you will have to pester me about this?"< br>
Yuan Qingyu raised the wine glass with some foam left in his right hand, with a playful expression on his face. He supported his head with his left hand and glanced sideways at the plainclothes detective in front of him.
Entangled.
Li Dang noticed that Yuan Qingyu used these two words, so it was obvious that not only himself, but also he had been entangled by this criminal policeman many times.
"But it's normal to say that you Japanese criminal police are like this. You have no clue about solving the case, so you arrest some people who seem to be related but actually have no evidence." Yuan Qingyu laughed, mixed with overflowing disdain.
Because of Saito's sudden behavior just now, the izakaya became quiet, and everyone looked at them.
When Yuan Qingyu said, "Japanese criminal police are like this", no one around stood up. Maybe it was because of the majesty of the criminal police, but it didn't seem to be the case for Li Ming. Even some people in the corner They all nodded in agreement subconsciously.
How sad.
Li Dang shook his head as he thought to himself.
"Even if you try your best to slander us, you must come with us today."
Saito stopped what he was doing, the cold expression returned to his face again, and then glanced behind him The three detectives, also in plainclothes, nodded slightly to the two people in front of them.
So this is about to take coercive measures?
Li Ming was about to stand up and resist, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young girl standing up in the corner of the izakaya and walking towards the place at a leisurely pace.
“Wait a minute.”
Saito also noticed the girl. He raised his eyebrows and stopped the movements of the three people behind him. His voice was much quieter than before, and he quickly put away his ID and handcuffs, his face pale.
“Saito Sobayashi, right?”
When the girl got closer, they discovered that the girl’s head was wrapped in a bandage, like a patient suffering from an eye disease. But there was an eye exposed in the gap between the bandages, peeping at everything in the outside world.
The girl coquettishly clasped her hands behind her back and stretched herself while wandering here leisurely, looking contented.
“I remember I said before at the Chiba Metropolitan Police Department that there is no definite evidence for the suspect that can directly show that he is the murderer, and no unauthorized arrest is allowed.”
The girl paused, pinched the bamboo stick that Yuan Qingyu had not eaten very clean before, and gently poked the sharp end into the forehead of the man in front of her.
"Officer Saito, if you don't remember what I said, I can understand it. After all, it is difficult for you to remember the teachings at your age, so this time I will temporarily Let you go, if you let me send it next time Now that you have violated the discipline of the Metropolitan Police Department, I will not be like today."
The girl used her hand hard and stabbed the sharp end of the oily bamboo stick on Saito's forehead, causing sudden severe pain. This made the Japanese detective subconsciously dodge.
The bamboo stick was just hanging in the air, and the girl grinned: "This time is a lesson. You should also think about why your colleague Hirokazu Taniguchi was promoted after only four years of normal assessment. You became a police officer, but you are still a small police officer after six years."
"I understand." Saito lowered his head, and the three people behind him became silent at the same time. .
"Then let's go. Why are you still staying here at the izakaya? Are you ruining everyone's fun?" The girl put down the bamboo stick, "I see you've finished eating, haven't you?"
"Yes." Saito didn't. With a word of nonsense and sloppiness, he quickly lowered his head and led the few people behind him to leave the izakaya.
Watching their figures disappear from sight, the guests and the owner of the izakaya resumed their previous liveliness. No one continued to discuss the unpleasant episode just now. The rapid change in the atmosphere made Li Yan feel a little agitated. Stunning.
But now is definitely not the time to pay attention to the atmosphere in the store. The most important thing to pay attention to is the girl in front of you who appears out of nowhere, and she seems to be Saito's boss.
It can be seen from the conversation just now that Saito's police rank is "Police Department Supplementary", which is equivalent to the second-level superintendent in his hometown. From the perspective of normal people, this kind of position is already considered very high. , that girl?
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for my subordinate Saito Sobayashi."
The girl put down the bamboo stick in her hand and turned to face Li Yuan and the other two, with only one eye exposed from the bandage. Written full of apologies.
"Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Shiraki and my first name is Linyin." The girl who called herself Shiraki paused, "Of course, Mr. Yuan Qingtama must have met me. I have joined the company in recent days. I asked the attending physician of Kitazawa Hospital in Chiba Prefecture. I hope you can take care of me in the coming days.”
Shiraki Rinne?
Li Tang narrowed his eyes. This surname naturally reminded him of Dr. Kuroki Akira. Could it be that these two people have an ulterior secret?
No, that's not the point.
Why can a person work as a doctor in a hospital while serving as a criminal police officer? Even if you are talented, you may not be able to achieve the best time arrangement.
Li Dao couldn't figure it out, but due to the restrictions on prohibited items, he did not express it directly or type on his mobile phone.
After all, White Night Syndrome has become widespread in Chiba Prefecture. Basically, there are six out of ten patients. Who knows if there will be other ill-intentioned patients in Yuzuki Izakaya.
“Of course I will take care of it, but since my profession is not very convenient, some aspects cannot be covered, so I hope Dr. Shiraki will understand.”
Although Yuan Qingtama was a little curious about Shiraki's identity, and he had expressed his disgust towards the Japanese detective before, he still responded politely out of gentlemanly demeanor.
"What Dr. Baimu said was caused by something that happened before." Yuan Qingyu pursed her lips and made gestures with both hands in front of her eyes. "Of course I know this is not polite, so Dr. Baimu doesn't want to If you answer, you don’t need to say anything.”
“You also know that this is impolite. I thought Mr. Yuan Qingyu, like everyone else, liked to stare at me strangely, and even looked at me strangely. Snooping into other people's past in a malicious way."
Shiraki Rinyin casually pulled the hair hanging from his forehead and glanced at the two people in front of him: "Then, I'll leave first, there are still many things. You need me to help, I wish you a happy meal~"
Watching Shiraki leave the izakaya, the two people's tense spirits finally relaxed, and they naturally and completely integrated into the warm atmosphere of the izakaya, feeling extremely comfortable.
"There are really a lot of things today. First, it was because of Bai Meng's accident when you were seeing a doctor, and then there was the trouble caused by the patients on the lower floor. After finally solving it, I wanted to go to the izakaya with Kuroki to relax, but the guy answered the phone and left. Yes, I thought an izakaya would be better It’s so relaxing, but it’s unlucky to be disturbed by those criminal policemen.”
Yuan Qingyu cursed softly and placed the beer glass in his hand on the table. Fortunately, the glass was not made of glass, otherwise he would have been beaten today. Another small expense is added to the daily routine of the day.
“I feel bad being disturbed like this.”
Yuan Qingyu sighed, sorted out her clothes and checked the items she carried with her, and then stood up. Stretched.
"That's it for now, Mr. Li, if you have anything, please contact Kuroki on LINE. We stay together most of the time due to work reasons, so if you contact him, you have contacted me. ”
Li Ming nodded silently, stood up, drank the full glass of beer in his hand, and left the izakaya with Yuan Qingyu.
The two came to the street side by side. The warm air in the izakaya still lingered on the sides of their cheeks. A cold wind blew past them, and Yuan Qingyu couldn't help but flinch.
"Then, I will go back first. If you have any questions, remember to contact me via LINE."
Yuan Qingyu waved his hand and walked slowly in the opposite direction when Li Ming came. Putting his hands into his coat pockets, Li Ming suddenly had the same illusion.
No, how is that possible?
Li Ming laughed self-deprecatingly, his hair was blown away by the breeze, and his head was raised slightly.
Minamoto Seitama has his own friend, Dr. Akira Kuroki. His original intention when he came to the izakaya was to relax with his friends. Meeting him was just an accident. In addition, he only went to the izakaya alone to meet. Feeling more alone.
And now, all the accidents are over, and Li Deng has returned to his original state -
alone.
The streets of Chiba City were desolate and full of chill. Li Ming wrapped his coat tightly and walked towards the office alone with complicated feelings.
Although his mood was no different from just now, the clues given to him by Bai Meng's successful escape from the laboratory enveloped his heart at this moment, and Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Recalling that Bai Meng gave him a handful of clues to the realization of his wish, he even opened a firm and became a private detective. This decision that changed the direction of his life was also given to him by White Night Syndrome.
He also once thought about realizing his wish without relying on the power of White Night Syndrome, but as a result, he wasted a full three years, during which he was tortured by white dreams.
Yes, today is the second time he went to the hospital for formal medical treatment. Although he also went to the hospital during this period, he did not accept such a long period of white dream escape.
If it weren’t for Jiang Wenkan’s tough demands today, I’m afraid Li Ming would have continued this illusory life.
Although it is said that the instructions or clues to realize wishes can be obtained through escape white dreams, after all, they can only be obtained after escaping from the white dream world provided by the hospital. The purpose of daily triggered white dreams is just pure escape.
In other words, like the white dream world that was suddenly triggered this morning, reaching a certain point can be counted as escaping.
When Li Dang came to the door of the office, the time displayed on his mobile phone was already about 8:10 p.m., and he had just spent two hours in the izakaya. In total, If so, it's quite normal.
Wash, tidy up, everything is speechless.
Into the darkness, Li Dang lay on the somewhat old sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep.
Closing his sore eyes, he heard a familiar yet distant voice in the hazy state.
“Dear patient, after confirmation by many experts in our hospital, I regret to tell you that you have been diagnosed with "White Night Syndrome". This is an extremely rare disease. At present, The number of patients with this condition in the country does not exceed 40%. "
" Damn it. "After the young man in the dream heard this sentence, his face was full of anger, and he spoke not fluent Japanese, "I have long thought that nothing good will happen when I come to your country, but I didn't expect that I was right! "
"This patient, please be calm and don't get excited. Although White Night Syndrome is rare, it is not a terminal illness, or it can be said to be an existence beyond terminal illness. ”
The white figure in the dream gradually became clear as time went by. Although he was wearing a mask, it made people feel so friendly.
"Please don't worry about the harmfulness of this disease. According to our hospital's research, this disease is a benign disease and mainly manifests as "hallucinations", which we call "white dreams." "
"Please rest assured that although there is no domestic treatment plan for this disease, as long as you go to our hospital for emergency treatment on time, no serious accidents will happen. ”
Hearing this, the angry young man’s face softened slightly.
But when the hospital doctor personally issued a disease notification, no normal person would have a good look towards the doctor.
The same is true for the young man. The thought of "Why am I the only one suffering from this disease" arises spontaneously at this moment. He feels more and more the shortness of life, and even begins to recall life like a revolving lantern. of the past.
"Then, please fill in your "personal information", "desires" and "contact information" in the following questionnaire. Thank you very much for your cooperation. "
Li Ming, who was standing not far away and watching everything in front of him, tilted his head. The doctor's voice gradually became clearer. Although it was cold, the timbre was recognized, and the figure of "ta" became clearer and clearer.< br>
“In addition, if white dreams have affected your daily life, please see a doctor in time. ”
Before he finished speaking, the doctor’s eyes were directed towards Li Ming, or somewhere further away.
Sticky and disgusting tentacles appeared on the face of the normally normal person. , just like the teeth bonded to the tentacles emit a fishy smell, and his voice becomes gloomy and noisy——
"So the patient over there, what questions do you have?"
It feels like this is the node. So it’s been a long time, does anyone know about Li Ming’s behavior?
