Shaking his head.

"Officer Goto! Wake up!" Ishii shouted loudly, exhausting the strength accumulated in his dantian.

"It's so loud, you idiot!"

Ishii suddenly jumped up from the impact on the top of his head.The scene in front of me was completely different from before.

Huh?This is his own desk, and it's not night—

"You wake me up!" Ishii landed another iron fist on the head.

Looking up, Goto, who should have died just now, was standing there. There was no blood on the wrinkled shirt that even Detective Colombo would frown at.

It turned out that I was just dreaming——

Ishii finally realized it now. Since he stayed up late last night to work, he wanted to sleep a little at dawn, so he fell asleep on the table.

That's why I had that kind of dream.

"How long are you going to be in a daze!" Goto roared, and raised his fist again.

"Hey. Yes, yes, I'm sorry!" Ishii hugged his head reflexively, making a sound that was almost screaming.

"You guys seem to be having fun."

There was a voice at the door, it was a hoarse voice with a characteristic of drunkenness.

His eyes moved over, and standing there was Miyagawa, the head of the Criminal Section.

Ideuchi, the former head of the criminal section, who resigned in response to the incident three months ago, was transferred to take over the post.Although he looks like a short, about forty-year-old man, he doesn't give the impression of being weak. The crew cut, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes make people mistakenly think that he is that kind of person.

If it was this man, he might be able to kill a bear with his bare hands.Ishii thought so seriously.

"How can it be happy, I didn't sleep last night." Goto genuinely showed a tired expression.

"You've been doing nothing until now."

What Miyagawa said made sense.

Only Goto and Ishii belonged to the "Special Investigation Room for Unsolved Cases". Contrary to its elegant name, it was like a convenience house, and most of the time they were used as support staff from other departments.

It didn't matter when the former head of the Criminal Section was in office, but since Miyagawa was transferred, the situation changed overnight.

The original job of this department is to be ordered to re-investigate unclosed cases. It sounds like a no-nonsense job, but the crime reporting rate of the police has dropped year by year, and now it has even fallen into a downturn of less than 20%.

There are currently 600 million cases in Japan every year, of course they are only responsible for the incidents in the jurisdiction, but even so, that is still a very staggering number.

"Then why are you here? If you're here to tease me, please go back." Goto said, digging his ears as if he didn't welcome it.

"I'm not free enough to tease you." Miyagawa snorted.

The conversation that sounded like they were scolding each other was actually not malicious, and in Ishii's eyes it was just a joke.

I heard from others that Miyagawa had partnered with Goto when he was a rookie police officer, so that's why he knew that.

"If it's not teasing, then what are you doing here?" Goto took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Miyagawa stared at Goto sharply.

"You know I'm quitting smoking and still lighting the fire?"

"I've already smoked it, why don't you keep smoking it?" Goto handed the cigarette to Miyakawa, but Miyakawa looked away as if avoiding it

"My grandson... hates the smell of cigarettes."

"People really change, grandpa." Goto said in a teasing tone.

"Too much!" Miyagawa poked Goto's chest with his finger and roared angrily. Ishii's feet couldn't help trembling due to the shocking vigor.

"Then what on earth are you here for?" Goto lit a cigarette in the ashtray and brought back the original topic again.

"Actually, I have a job to ask you to do." Miyagawa threw the information in his hand to Goto.

"It's fine if I ask you to do the criminal class."

"Let me just say that, your department is also under our Criminal Division."

"Yes, yes, that's what you said." Goto pouted like an emotional child, picked up the information and reluctantly flipped through it.

"This, isn't it the case of Kengo Tobe?" Goto murmured to himself as he stopped flipping through the documents.

Ishii is also a little bit about that incident.It was the man who beat his biological father to death with a hammer a month ago——.

The police made an emergency arrest while the suspect was still at the scene after committing the crime. Afterwards, the investigation found that the suspect was instigated to say that he lost his mind. The prosecutor then transferred him to a specialist doctor for a formal appraisal. During the appraisal, the household department fled—— .

At that time, she also attacked the female doctor in charge of diagnosis and treatment. While resisting, she also picked up scissors placed nearby and stabbed Hubu, leaving a lot of blood on the scene of the clinic.

Since he was injured, he must not be able to run too far, but it has been a month since the police started searching, and they still have no information.

"I hope you will join the search as well."

"Are you serious? This can't be solved by increasing the number of searchers, right?"

"I didn't say I want you to participate in the area search." Miyagawa dismissed Goto's dissatisfaction.

"It's not an investigation, but is it asking us to put up posters everywhere?" Goto joked.

"Stop messing around!" Miyagawa said, and slapped Goto on the back of the head.

"Woo!" Ishii looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't help crying out.

What a terrible person to let Officer Goto bow down.

"The bold female doctor who stabbed the household department volunteered to assist the police officer in handling the case."

"Did you describe the incident in detail?"

"No, it's about that person...side, sideways..."

"Character profiling." Ishii added a term that Miyagawa couldn't say.

"Oh, yes, it's profiling. She said it might lead to a suspect."

"You don't want me to help her, do you?" Goto obviously showed a feeling of displeasure.

It is common for foreign police to use profiling to conduct searches, but Japan is still far behind other countries, and Goto's current reaction is the same. For him, he has no idea what profiling is.

"That file contains the other party's contact information, I hope you can dispatch."

"What kind of hands are laymen!" Goto patted the table anxiously.

"Don't say that, anyway, I will leave this matter to you, and report to me at any time." Miyagawa patted Goto's back reassuringly, and quickly left the room.

It's like a person like a storm——.

"I can't stand it, just give me some troubles. We are exhausted here." Goto complained as he threw the information on the table.

However, Ishii felt that what he said was the opposite of what he said in his heart.

Since Miyagawa came, the content of work has been incomparably more difficult than before. Although Goto is very dissatisfied with this, it is an indisputable fact that his eyes are more radiant than before.

Goto, you can't be the type who loses energy when you're not busy, right?

"Hey! Ishii! I'm leaving!" Goto was already standing at the door before he knew it.

"Ah, okay." Ishii ran up in a panic.

Then fell—.

The bell rang to announce the end of the fourth class──

"Then we will end here today."

I breathed a sigh of relief after saying this.

The morning class is finally over.

If you ask me if I have performed well, unfortunately I have not.In class, sometimes what he said would suddenly become extremely academic. Whenever this happened, Komai would give advice in a low voice.

If it weren't for her help, I'm afraid I would be talking to myself in the middle of the class.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"It's a good job for someone who is teaching for the first time. You will get used to it." Komai smiled and encouraged me who bowed his head and apologized.

"Is that so?"

Just when I was lost in thought, the children started to join the table and push the trailers and tableware with meals in to prepare a nutritious lunch.

"Teacher Haruka, you're coming to our team today."

Two little girls took my hand, Maiko and Eri.

The two of them are always together, very similar like twins.

"Ah, um."

"Come here quickly."

I was dragged by Maiko and Eri, and sat on a low stool prepared for me.

"Hey, teacher, do you have a boyfriend?" It was Maiko who asked the question, and it was a difficult question to answer out of the blue.

"It's being recruited."

At that moment, a figure flashed in my mind, but I waved him away and made this answer.

"Then what type do you like?" This time it was Eri who asked the question.

When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I also had a crush on a boy, but I didn't realize the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend at the time.

"Well, it's better to be a gentle and kind person?"

As an added note, although he is a bit awkward, he is a very reliable person when something happens.

Then overwhelming questions like "When did you first have a boyfriend" and "Have you ever kissed?"

This question is really difficult to answer.Even though they are children, if they prevaricate with ambiguous answers or lies, they will not be accepted by them.

When I was attacked by difficult questions, the meal was over, and the students all sat down in their seats obediently.

"Is everyone here?"

The students answered Komai's question by saying "yes" in unison.

"Teacher, Makoto is not in the seat." Maiko who was sitting next to me said slowly.

Looking up, the seat diagonally opposite to me was empty, and it occurred to me that I came to
