Gangye Yoshiko notified Beichuan Si to visit the police station again, saying there were new results in the corpse identification.
However, Shinkai Mirai, who was accompanying Beichuan Si, was left in the police station's front hall by Gangye Yoshiko, saying there were things not suitable for a girl to see.
Despite her strong protests, Shinkai Mirai could not oppose Gangye Yoshiko's arrangements.
"Logically, I should be an external person, and information like this, which is only for internal personnel, should not be disclosed to me."
"What nonsense about internal and external personnel! Whenever there's a homicide, you're always at the scene. Do you think you can still remain uninvolved?" Gangye Yoshiko took a harsh puff of her cigarette and, after satisfying her craving, tossed the butt into the trash can before walking with Beichuan Si down the corridor.
Beichuan Si glanced sideways at Gangye Yoshiko's expression but said nothing, following behind her.
