Hirarano Police Station still looked quite rundown and outdated. Nanahara Takeshi got out of the taxi and casually produced a black notebook, giving it a shake before the uniformed elder policeman on duty, and led Kiyomi Liuli, who was carrying a suitcase, inside as if returning to his own home.
The uniformed elder policeman hesitated but still stopped him, mainly because he was dressed in a private high school uniform and accompanied by a JK with a 90-point face value. Even though his attitude was casual, it hardly made him seem like a detective, so checking his ID was necessary.
However, after a quick glance, he recognized who it was and politely bowed, "So it's Spirit Medium Detective Nanahara. I've read about your brilliant case-solving in the newspaper before—you were splendid."
Nanahara Takeshi also nodded and smiled in return, "It was just luck, thank you for the compliment."
