Fushimi Roku hadn't finished his coffee yet and really didn't want to move; he was still thinking about loitering in this shop all afternoon.

Minamoto Tamako wouldn't let him have his way and urged him to leave quickly. Now that Minamoto Tamako was the team leader, the two little strange sergeants could only obey her commands.

The three of them arrived at the police station, Taira Sakurako holding an ice cream on the way, eating as she walked, and just finished as they entered the police station, leaving a ring of cream residue around her mouth.

Minamoto Tamako went to borrow a tissue to wipe Sakurako's mouth, while Fushimi Roku stood with his hands in his pockets, glancing around, observing whether the Sapporo Police Station's funding was sufficient.

He felt that the Sapporo Police Station was clearly inferior to the Sugamo Police Station; the front desk was all old wooden boards, there was no air conditioning inside the police station, only ceiling fans, and the display board was full of wear and tear, clearly wiped too often for too long.

Hmm, Tokyo is still better, as the most economically developed area, the welfare is obviously better than the Road Police.

But in the eyes of other officers inside the police station, this scene looked like a rich young lady coming to inspect with her family—originally thought Lady Tamako wasn't married yet, but now it seemed that she even had a child!

The mother and daughter were both very cute, especially Lady Tamako wiping the child's mouth, exuding the radiance of maternal love.

This pretty boy is really lucky!

Fushimi Roku inexplicably felt a surge of hostility, he glanced around to find that the officers seemed to all be staring at him.

What's going on here?

Is it that Road Police are very prejudiced against Tokyo Police Department's criminal police?

There have long been rumors that Road Police don't get along with Tokyo Police Department, Road Police is basically an independent agency, looking down on Tokyo's Golden Watch Team, thought this was an individual situation, mainly focusing on joint efforts to combat gangster violence... but now it seems the situation is not optimistic.

It's just that the Kujo Family is influential enough in Hokkaido, otherwise, Minamoto Tamako might not have been able to enter the police station and get involved in the case.

Minamoto Tamako didn't notice anything amiss, after wiping Taira Sakurako's mouth, she hurriedly led the two into the interrogation room, not having time to greet anyone else.

The lawyer, together with the suspect Kujo Hikari, was in the meeting room, not at all concerned about the detention time.

When Minamoto Tamako arrived, the lawyer was already discussing with Kujo Hikari what to do after bail; and Kujo Hikari himself was eating a bento, which is the standard meal inside the police department.

In the police world, inmates are generally referred to as 'eating bento' because meals in prison are generally bento, much like having boxed meals in a Hong Kong police station.

When Tamako initiated the interrogation, the lawyer strongly objected, claiming to sue the police station for fatigue interrogation.

"Say whatever you want, interrogation is starting now."

Minamoto Tamako didn't care at all; she believed the police shouldn't fear a litigator, and she had done nothing against the law... Kujo Hikari was in good spirits, how could this be considered a fatigue interrogation?

The lawyer insisted on being present during the interrogation to prevent police coercion. Minamoto Tamako thought one shouldn't fear a skewed shadow when standing upright and generously allowed the lawyer to listen in.

Fushimi Roku wanted to stop her, but he wasn't as quick as Minamoto Tamako, so he could only remind her afterward: "You should find a way to make the lawyer leave."

Minamoto Tamako was somewhat dissatisfied and whispered back: "Why? We're not doing anything bad, do you think I'm the kind to coerce a confession?"

Fushimi Roku gave her a meaningful look: "I won't argue with you, you're the captain, if you think it's okay, then it's okay."

Minamoto Tamako felt vaguely uneasy upon hearing this, feeling she might have made a mistake.

But due to her pride, she said nothing, pouting as she sat in the main interrogation seat, letting Fushimi Roku take notes on the side.

Taira Sakurako was not convenient to enter the interrogation room and could only rest outside temporarily—Hokkaido Sapporo Police Station's funding was still not as sufficient as Tokyo's; there was no one-way glass in the interrogation room, just an ordinary small room.

Kujo Hikari looked very young, in his early thirties, but his actual age was already forty, after all, he was in the same generation as Kujo Yua.

He wore rimless glasses, had neat short hair, a high nose bridge, and facial features quite similar to Kujo Yua, but he didn't have that world-weary aura, rather, there was a sense of noble arrogance.

At the moment, Kujo Hikari was eating bento, picking and choosing with chopsticks, his mouth pinched tight as he chewed, eyes always lowered, not looking directly at the interrogation officers.

Minamoto Tamako made a fist with her small hand, placing it by her mouth, and announced with a light cough:

"Now officially starting the interrogation, I'm the person in charge of this case, so I'll skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

Upon hearing a girl's voice, Kujo Hikari looked up with a glimpse, finding the visitor somewhat familiar, he asked with rice in his mouth: "Are you Little Wei's daughter?"

Minamoto Tamako replied seriously: "This is an interrogation room. Here, there are no daughters, only police and suspects."

Kujo Hikari 'oh'-ed, and lowered his head again: "Little Wei always causes trouble every time she comes back. Now she isn't even here, yet she can still cause trouble for the family."

Minamoto Tamako found this piercing; what's with all the Little Wei this and that, mommy-chan is clearly your sister, how can you call your sister that?

But considering the man in front of her was her uncle, Minamoto Tamako didn't speak harshly, maintaining a businesslike attitude, pretending not to hear Kujo Hikari's words, she continued to ask:

"Where were you at eleven o'clock on the night of the incident?"

Kujo Hikari lowered his head again, using chopsticks to pick out the green peppers he didn't eat, just tossing them on the table.

The lawyer interjected: "Mr. Kujo was at home resting that night. It would be entirely reasonable to be at home resting at eleven o'clock."

Minamoto Tamako felt it was odd: "Why doesn't he answer himself?"
