Chapter 13 Reaching Cooperation
"Do not harbor any illusions. Those guys, in order to eliminate evidence, can resort to any means necessary. For yourself, and for your family, cooperating with our police investigation is the only way out."
Chen Huijie looked down at Li Xia, her expression resolute, her voice stern, instilling trust and a sense of security involuntarily.
"Wait..." Li Xia hastily waved his hand, pressing it against his forehead. The amount of information he was currently processing was overwhelming; he needed a moment to digest.
Kirigiri Shimizu was a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department, yet the officers present seemed unaware of her identity. She most likely wasn't familiar with the police system.
Her credentials indicated patrol duty, the lowest position in the Tokyo police system, which would never handle major cases involving large-scale illicit drug trafficking.
From this, it could be inferred that her patrol role was merely a facade. She probably didn't belong to the Tokyo police system, perhaps cooperating with the Tokyo police due to certain international cases.
Thinking back now, Kirigiri Shimizu's situation at the time didn't seem like mere amusement. Her behavior from yesterday to today didn't resemble that of a normal person.
Although it is unlikely, if she is taking banned drugs and has some mental issues, then these abnormal behaviors can also be explained.
She suddenly disappeared on the way to the hospital, erasing all traces and information. It is impossible for her to do it without any accomplices at a higher level. Although it seems coincidental, all the characteristics perfectly match the case that Chen Huijie is investigating.
"Do not have any sympathy for the criminal," Chen Huijie tried to persuade him as he remained silent. "If you're innocent, our police will naturally clear your name."
"I understand," Li Xia replied. Kirigiri Shimizu's strange behaviors also made him suspicious. He didn't know whether she was involved in a case related to banned drugs, but he knew that, under the current circumstances, it would be beneficial and harmless to seek help from this mysterious female police officer in front of him. It was also for his own protection. He nodded, "I will cooperate with you."
At the same time, Komachi Akane drove a black car and secretly glanced at the captain through the rearview mirror. Seeing her sitting in the back seat, her expression constantly changing, it seemed like she was seriously contemplating.
The previous captain was always cold as ice. Since yesterday, her expressions have become more varied, although they cannot be compared to those of a normal person, it is already a significant breakthrough.
It all started when that young man appeared in her mind, Komachi Akane had a vision of a handsome young man named Li Xia, but she didn't dare to ask too much, so she could only silently drive.
Kirigiri Shimizu sat back in the leather seat, feeling quite upset. The mission she thought was a sure victory had failed, disrupting all her plans.
The punishment from the system was far beyond her imagination. In the moment of being punished, her mind had stopped thinking, unable to control her body with her will.
Fortunately, when the ambulance entered the hospital, the punishment time ended. After she regained control of her body, she immediately left the hospital and used her authority to erase all records related to herself.
Now that Li Xia has been taken away by the police, Kirigiri Shimizu needs to come up with a new plan and complete another random mission to receive a reward. If she doesn't handle this situation well, it will become very difficult to complete the main mission within a month, even if it means convincing him that she is his mother.
Deciding to trigger the third random mission by keeping him by her side, Kirigiri Shimizu looked up and said, "Go to the police station to collect the person."
"Alright," Komachi Akane turned the car around. She knew that the captain's mind was currently focused on that girl, so she immediately checked Li Xia's whereabouts, and the results turned out to be true.
...
...
At the police station, Li Xia concealed the supernatural phenomena he encountered and the incident of Kirigiri Shimizu losing control, only mentioning that he met her while working yesterday and the flyer incident at school this morning.
If this beautiful policewoman could help him investigate, he would be more than happy.
Chen Huijie, upon hearing this, rested her chin on one hand and contemplated the gathered information. Li Xia's guess was correct; the patrol officer was just a disguise she used for investigation. Her true identity was an inspector from the Longmen Serious Crime Unit, currently collaborating with the Tokyo police to investigate an organized international drug trafficking case.
Having investigated for months, every time they were about to get a lead, the other party would always receive a message in advance and leave first. Various signs indicated a connection between the criminal organization and the higher-ups in the Tokyo police.
The man and woman they encountered this time didn't initially attract attention, but the sudden disappearance of that woman and the erasure of all records made her suspicious.
Although unsure if it was related to the case she was investigating, this was precisely the breakthrough she needed.
"So I don't really know her, and if possible, I just want to be an ordinary college student," Li Xia said helplessly. In just two days, he had experienced too much, leaving him feeling mentally exhausted.
"I understand. During these days, I will secretly ensure your personal safety. Record my phone number, and contact me immediately in case of an emergency," Chen Huijie said after exchanging contact information with Li Xia. "I suspect there's a mole within the police department's higher-ups, so you must not easily trust anyone else. I'll maintain direct contact, and our relationship should remain confidential. Don't alert the enemy unnecessarily."
Chen Huijie was already dissatisfied with the Tokyo police system, and going undercover posed no pressure for her. By making things clear, she also avoided any unexpected incidents at this crucial breakthrough.
"Okay, I understand," Li Xia nodded. With her involvement, there was an added layer of security against the psychopath.
The two continued their conversation for a while until the interrogation room's door was knocked. A young officer, accompanied by Komachi Akane dressed in office attire, entered.
"I'm here to take him," Komachi Akane pointed to Li Xia sitting on the side, facing Chen Huijie. She wore a professional smile and said, "My boss isn't feeling well, had a sudden illness. Apologies for inadvertently involving the police. May I take him with me?"
"Mmm, protecting the safety of citizens' lives and property is our duty as police officers," said Chen Huijie solemnly, speaking without leaking any information, nodding towards Li Xia. "Since it was a misunderstanding, there's no need for a written record. Sorry for bringing you to the police station."
"It's okay, I understand," Li Xia also stood up smoothly, walked to Komachi Akane's side, and exchanged glances with Chen Huijie, maintaining cooperation.
"Sorry for causing you trouble," Komachi Akane smiled apologetically at Li Xia, while secretly sizing him up. Although he was handsome, he didn't look like the captain, and she didn't know why the captain believed he was her long-lost son. She also pointed to the door and said, "The captain is waiting for you in the car, let's go."
"Mmm," Li Xia nodded and left the police station with Komachi Akane, getting into the black car. He really didn't want to see Kirigiri Shimizu, but he had no choice.
