Chapter 590 - The Police Department (1/2)

Although he had many questions and no answers, the two cases seemed to be related to some degree. It was very likely that he would be able to track the suspect down. He would be able to crack the case if only he could find the black SUV without car number plates and ascertain its owner. But first of all, he would have to make contact with the Asou family to get a feel of the situation. After all, they were the primary lead right now.

On the second day, Miyazaki Ronjin got into the department at almost 9 am.

He was wearing a gray sweater with the same jacket that he wore the night before, and he looked like a country b.u.mpkin. Besides the pungent smoke from his cigarette, there was also an unpleasant smell emanating from his clothes. He was wearing unwashed clothes, and the odor was overpowering.

Miyazaki Ronjin frowned when he saw that Xiao Luo was in casual clothes. “We’re about to meet the police department captain, Mr. Xiao. Are you not going to change into your uniform?” he said.

Xiao Luo frowned and replied, “Why would I have to?”

He was not a real police officer. So, he was not in the habit of wearing a uniform.

“So that you look formal,” Miyazaki Ronjin replied.

“Then why aren’t you wearing yours?” Xiao Luo asked the man.

“I—”

Miyazaki Ronjin was about to say that as he was close to retirement, the people in the police department would ignore him anyway. He did not think it’d matter if he wore his uniform or not. However, he chose to keep his mouth shut. He slowly puffed out a thick column of smoke, and something akin to admiration gleamed in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Luo. He patted the man’s shoulder and chuckled but said nothing else.

The police department building was situated close to an intersection. It was a 20-plus floor tall building, and there were about a dozen police cruisers parked neatly in the yard outside of it. This is Dongjing, after all—the capital city and the largest city of Ri Nation. And the police department building was impressive and befitting of its status.

Xiao Luo followed Miyazaki Ronjin and Kimura Akino into the building, where they took the lift up to the 15th floor. They walked through another long, well-lit corridor before they reached the captain’s office.

Knock, knock.

Kimura Akino cautiously tapped on the door, as if he was afraid that knocking it too loudly would be discourteous.
