Three towns in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

"The weather is crazy, it's already May, there's an earthquake and it's raining. Fortunately, I ordered some hot ramen in advance."

In a police booth of only eight square meters on the roadside, Akai Jiro covered his hands and sighed, picking up the ramen that had just been delivered by the ramen shop next door.

Not far from Minato-ku Sanmachi is the coast of Tokyo Bay. Even though it is May, the sea breeze at night is still very cold when it rains.

The police box is quite old and is well maintained. It's not too shabby, but it doesn't block the cold wind at all.

After taking a sip of the hot noodle soup, Akai Jiro felt very satisfied.

It has been three years since I passed the local civil service examination and went on an inspection tour. Although it is a job with seniority requirements and it is difficult to be promoted, I am still a local civil servant. The salary is not low, and I don’t have to face a lot of things every day like ordinary office workers.

The seniors who work conscientiously are called upon everywhere.

In addition to him, there are two senior inspectors in the police box. They are both good people and take good care of him.

The security in the port area is pretty good. Apart from helping the surrounding residents with some trivial matters during daily inspections, there is not much to do.

Akai Jiro is a man with no ambitions and is very satisfied with this simple job.

Outside the police box, the rain was still falling, and soon there was only a little soup left in the ramen.

Akai suddenly raised his head and his eyes focused.

Through the lights on the roadside, he saw a student in school uniform running toward the police box in the rain.

"It's already this hour, why are you still walking outside? Come in and take shelter from the rain first, don't catch a cold."

Akai immediately opened the door and said reproachfully to the young man who was all wet. He turned around and took out a clean white towel from the glove cabinet on the side and handed it over.

"Sorry, I want to call the police."

Higashino Hirosawa took the towel, wiped the rainwater, and said to Akai.

"You want to call the police? What happened?"

Akai was startled and asked quickly.

"Someone wants to kill me."

"Someone wants to kill you? Who is it?"

Akai Goro quickly looked out the window nervously, fearing that a murderer wearing a black raincoat and holding a hatchet would suddenly appear in the rain.

According to the horror movies he had watched, it was probably not the high school boy who called the police who died at this time, but him, the little cannon fodder policeman.

Fortunately, no one else was seen outside the police box.

"I don't know. I lost my memory. I just woke up at the beach. I only vaguely remember that I was pushed from the boat into the sea and almost drowned."

Higashino Hirosawa shook his head, looking like he was still frightened.

He wants to take over the identity of Higashino Hirosawa in this world, but he has no relevant memory at all.

It is very troublesome to have no memory. On the way to the police box, he tried to use 1 wish point to make a wish for the memory of the dead Higashino Hirosawa, but he failed to make the wish.

The description of the wishing machine says that it can make wishes for items or abilities, but for other forms of wishes, this wishing machine seems not very smart and cannot make wishes.

It is not easy to hide things about memory, and sooner or later the flaw will be revealed. After careful consideration, Higashino Hirosawa decided that the best way was to let others know that he had lost his memory.

The excuse is also very simple. He almost drowned, survived the catastrophe, and lost his memory. It is completely justified. This is how many TV dramas are played!

At the same time, he did not know the address of the body. Although there was an address on his student ID card, there was no guarantee that he still lived there.

Therefore, calling the police, recording his memory loss, and asking the police to send him back to his residence is the best option.

Furthermore, he had no clues about the murderer, and he might not be able to find it successfully even if he put a lot of effort into it.

After calling the police, the police will help with the investigation. With the power of the police, it will not be difficult to find out if there are clues. Then he only needs to find a way to get the files in the hands of the police to carry out revenge.

"What's your name? Do you have your student ID card?"

Akai Jiro did not expect that these days someone would really dare to kidnap someone and sink them into Tokyo Bay, and he would even meet him.

Speaking of which, who did this young man provoke, causing others to want to kill him to vent their hatred?

"Hirosawa Higashino."

Higashino Hirosawa took out his student ID card from his pocket wallet and handed it to Akai Jiro.

"Higashino Hirosawa, are you the Higashino Hirosawa?"

Akai looked at the name on his student ID card and couldn't help but be stunned.

The age is right, and the appearance is similar to the rumors. He is a bit handsome. It seems that he is the one.

He had been watching the news. If it was Higashino Hirosawa, it would not be incomprehensible if someone wanted to kill him.

After thinking about it, Akai said to Higashino Hirosawa: "It is very likely that you no longer live at the address on your student ID card. I have to call and check for you."

"sorry to bother you."

Higashino Hirosawa nodded.

He saw Akai Jiro's reaction, but he was not surprised.

It would be abnormal for a student who is drowned in Tokyo Bay not to have a story to tell.

"Yamada-senpai, this is Akai from the third town in Minato City. I encountered a situation here... Yes, it's that Higashino Hirosawa... Okay, I understand. I'm sorry to trouble you, Yamada-senpai."

Akai Jiro picked up the phone on the duty desk and contacted a senior police officer named Yamada. He whispered about Higashino Hirosawa and nodded in reply from time to time.

After a while, he put down the phone and said to Higashino Hirosawa: "Higashino-san, I told Senior Yamada of the police station about the matter. He knows about you and asked you to wait here for half an hour. Someone will come to pick you up.

.During this period, you try to tell me what you know, and I will record the case."

He took out a notepad from the desk drawer nearby.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, but I can't remember almost anything."

Higashino Hirosawa apologized.

I'm afraid there is nothing else that Akai Jiro can record except the information that he has lost his memory.

"Don't remember anything?"

Akai Jiro asked a little embarrassed.

"Yes."

"That's it." Akai Jiro glanced at Higashino Hirosawa and felt that he didn't seem to be lying. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "If that's the case, it might be difficult to file a case against you."

"Isn't it even possible to file a case?"

Higashino Hirosawa was a little surprised.

Although he said he couldn't give any clues, if someone called the police and said he was almost drowned, and didn't even file a case, that's a bit too much.

"Whether a case can be filed or not is certainly not something I can decide as a small patrol officer. All I can do is help you record the information and then leave it to the people above to make a judgment. If someone else calls the police, the authorities will take it more seriously, but you

I have a record of filing false police reports, so..."

Akai Jiro looked at Higashino Hirosawa and explained.

A very important indicator for the police is the detection rate. If Higashino Hirosawa was attacked and injured, the police would have to open a case for investigation and then try their best to solve the case. But now Higashino Hirosawa is a good person and cannot give any useful clues to help solve the case.

It is very likely that the prisoner will not be found in the end, and it is impossible for the criminal police officers in the crime department to find themselves in trouble.

"False police report?"

Higashino Hirosawa was shocked. What had Higashino Hirosawa experienced in this world? He even made a false police report.

Even a small inspection knows that it is probably not an ordinary trivial matter.

"Have you really lost your memory?"

Akai Jiro saw Higashino Hirosawa's surprised expression, and Akai Jiro couldn't help but ask.

If he was pretending, it would be too realistic. He felt that those TV actors were nothing more than that.

"It's true, so I'm very worried now. Inspector Akai, can you tell me what you know?"

Higashino Hirosawa sighed helplessly.

Akai Jiro thought of the rumors related to Higashino Hirosawa on the Internet and couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing Higashino Hirosawa's appearance with his own eyes, although he may have lost his memory, the impression given to him by the rumors on the Internet is very different, and he does not look like a person with such bad behavior.

Those rumors on the Internet may not be credible. Do I really want to tell him those things?

"Please, Akai patrol!"

Higashino Hirosawa saw that Akai Jiro was hesitating and quickly pleaded.

"Since you said that, okay. However, what I know is either from what I saw online or from what others said. I'm not sure whether it is true or false. Just listen to it."

Seeing Higashino Hirosawa pleading like this, Akai Jiro could only say:

"The rumors about you are very unfavorable to you. I won't go into too specific details."

Akai Erlang thought for a while and said briefly.

He had tried to put the matter as tactfully as possible, but the rumors on the Internet were at least ten times worse than what he said. Some of the plots in the book can be associated with this rumor.

"Am I such a bad guy?"

Higashino Hirosawa was shocked again.

Rumors may not be credible, but in this rumor, there are two facts that are probably not wrong.

This is not something that ordinary people can do.

"They are all rumors, and they may not be true."

Akai Jiro was worried that Higashino Hirosawa would be stimulated, so he quickly comforted him.

"Then what's the deal with filing a false police report?"

Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and asked again.

Since most of what Akai Jiro knows comes from the Internet, he can check online for more information about his identity when the time comes.
