[Psycho-pass] Hue out of control

The surveillance officer left Nakamura Literati's school, but didn't go home right away, instead, he made a detour to the new address of Nakamura's house.

It is also an old-fashioned street close to the suburbs. According to the house number, you walk through one after another of the same iron gates in front of the house. Ginoza stops in front of the house where the children's school uniforms are drying upstairs. A hale and hearty old lady is arranging flowers in the yard. ,

"Hello, is this the Nakamura family?"

The old lady put on her glasses, looked up at Ginoza, she didn't look like a debt collector, so she relaxed a little, "It's the Nakamura family, are you?"

Ginoza didn't intend to conceal his identity this time, he took out his ID from the Security Bureau, "I'm Nobumoto Ginoza, the surveillance officer of the Security Bureau of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Welfare."

The old lady's expression became tense again, "Is there anything else you can do?"

"Don't be nervous, I just came to understand some other situations." Ginoza stood outside the fence gate, and the old lady invited him in after a while.

"What do you want to know?" The old lady sat back on the bench helplessly and continued to trim the flowers. These were not sold in the morning, and they had to go to the street to sell some in the afternoon.

"Did you know the owner of Chuanxian Fishery before?"

"About three years ago, they opened that business company. We don't live very far away, so I've heard people talk about it."

"I heard that he was fired by the company before?"

The old lady pouted her toothless mouth, and angrily cut off a rotten leaf, "That guy was famous for being a loafer before he started a trading company. My son even gambled with him in a casino."

"Later, it was said that he was fired by the boss because of his poor conduct. For a while, he was really down and out."

"Why did you set up a business company later, where did he get the money from gambling?"

"Hmph, how can there be such a thing as making money from gambling in this world? Anyone who believes in it is out of their minds!" The old lady became agitated when she mentioned gambling. If you don’t believe me, you actually managed to run such a trading company.”

Ginoza felt that things were starting to become interesting, and continued to ask, "What did the neighbor tell you?"

"One day my neighbor and I went to pick up my grandson from school, and when we were waiting outside the school, she told me that Takeda Taro, a gambler, got a lot of money, and someone found him and funded him to open a business company. It was incredible luck. "

Will someone subsidize a gambler to open a business company for no reason?

"Do you know who it is?"

The old lady turned her head and glanced at the surveillance officer of the Security Bureau who kept asking her, "I only found out after listening to people chatting, and these things are nowhere clearer than him himself."

Ginoza nodded, "Excuse me."

"By the way——" the surveillance officer who walked to the door turned around and pointed to the big bunch of white calla lily flowers in the cardboard box on the ground, "I want to buy some to see a friend."

------

In the empty public cemetery in the suburbs, a few unknown birds stood on the branches and cried lonely, or they hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and someone came from a distance and they were startled and flew away.

The supervisor had never visited her, so after searching for a long time, he found the familiar name on a tombstone, and he could barely recognize the handwriting on it.

Shaki Arai's cemetery was destroyed beyond sight.

The tombstone is lying in the weeds, and a fearless crow is standing on it and screaming at Ginoza, the black rotten leaves are floating on the stagnant water in the tomb, and the urn was lifted off the stone slab to steal it When it came out, the lid of the box was thrown aside, and the remnants inside were blown by the wind until there was nothing left.

Ginoza lifted the upturned urn from the ground. The ashes that were not left were so thin that they could not cover the bottom of the urn. The surveillance officer put the lid back on and called the cemetery administrator on duty.

After a long delay, the bald middle-aged fat man came with his workers and made a hypocritical compliment to the surveillance officer of the Security Bureau, why is it so rare to have such a good boss like you now? The executive officer who died with a disgraceful cause is buried in one piece, so it is inevitable that there will be poor care in the usual care... All kinds of things are annoying.

After finishing everything, Ginoza sent the other people away, and stood in front of Shaki Arai's tombstone, realizing that he no longer knew how to face it.

At the beginning, he also had his share of credit for hunting her down, but after three years, he started to care about it because of a specious connection in a case.This woman of unknown origin left a confusing secret until her death.

Ginoza placed the bunch of fresh calla lilies in front of the tomb, and water drops fell from the white involuted petals, staining the black damp stone slab.

"Fame and virtue are dead, and the wine of life is drunk, and all that remains is a tasteless dross for the treasures of the cellar."

——— "Macbeth"

The phone in his pocket vibrated, and the surveillance officer looked at the tombstone again, then turned and left.

In the staff restaurant of the Security Bureau, Chang Shou Zhu and Liuhe Zhong sat at a table and each had their own dinner.The analysis officer who always knew everyone and called herself the big sister went outside to make a phone call after receiving a text message in the middle of eating. The new surveillance officer didn't know what to say when facing the somewhat indifferent Liuhezuka alone, so he had to He lowered his head and drank the soup silently.

"Ah, I'm so sorry." Chang Shou Zhu heaved a sigh of relief in that lazy and familiar voice.

Du Zhien of Tang Dynasty picked up the coat on the back of the chair, bent down and smiled apologetically at Chang Shou Zhu:

"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhu."

Liuhezuka took a sip of miso soup, picked up the spoon and put it aside, cast a casual glance, "Since when did you also love work?"

Tang Zhidu stood up and straightened his hair, "You have to do things for others if you get paid, that's what Mr. Shen Ye said."

The blond analysis officer blinked, and before leaving, he quietly leaned into Chang Shou Zhu's ear and whispered, "Xiao Zhu is too reserved, the executive officer from the previous line was more relaxed than you."

"Huh?" Chang Shou Zhu looked at Tang Zhidu leaving inexplicably, and asked Liuhezhong in confusion, "What kind of person is the executive officer that the analyst just mentioned?"

——— "Why, I still can't figure out what kind of person she is." Tang Zhidu inserted his biometric ID card, and the door of the comprehensive analysis room was opened, and Ginoza, who had just returned from the outside, walked in.

"To be honest——" the analyst used his authority to open an encrypted locker, "It is actually easier to find a way to get along with a woman who can be considered elusive when you meet for the first time, because you never think about it, just don't think about it Just follow and see what she has to do."

"Women are not the kind of creatures that you can see through at a glance. Compared with those who look pure, you can also think that they are more open. For example, Xiao Zhu, when she first took office, everyone thought she was just a student girl. .But who thinks so now?"

"Looking at potential newcomers every day, big sister, I feel like I'm getting younger." Tang Zhidu took out a special sealed bag from it, looked down at the things inside and lowered his voice, "But there are some Sad."

Ginoza looked at the bag in Tang Zhidu's hand, "What is that?"

"Recently, the Physical Evidence Division is cleaning up some old physical evidence. Some of them went to the storage area of ​​the completed case without marking information. They asked me to check again. I found the beautiful sister's ring inside."

"Then I took back a tissue fragment from the same batch."

"Didn't the physical evidence at that time be sent up and destroyed as soon as it was over?" Ginoza clearly remembered that Shaki Arai's case ended quickly and quietly,

"The body of the absconded executive officer was severely damaged by new weapons, and he was unable to perform biometric identification. That's what the report of the second department said at the time. However, those who know how to read it will know that this tissue fragment was seriously damaged due to improper preservation during the collection process. Yes, so I guess it was Shomura Masakazu who concealed this mistake and removed unexpected obstacles for his promotion."

"Because it was concealed, and the fragments cannot be used for biometric identification, so they were simply mixed with other evidence in other cases and handed over."

Ginoza always felt that Arai Shaxi's case was strange, and Tang Zhidu found the opportunity this time and thought he could try it.

"At that time, I just tried it out, so I checked it." Tang Zhidu walked to the bioanalyzer, and the display screen had been calculating and processing huge data. "It turned out that it was a fragment of human brain tissue."

"What do you want to say?"

"We have a chance to see part of her memory, if we are lucky enough." The analyst smiled mysteriously at Ginoza,

"Of course, don't have too much hope. The materials are limited, and if there is, it is only a very short memory."

"How long ago did it start?" The dense data on the screen scrolled endlessly,

Tang Zhi Du Zhien looked at the time, "It's about 01:30 in the afternoon, and it may take a week to complete it all. You know that you are busy with new specimen cases in class recently. This matter can only be done secretly while the machine is idle."

"Thank you."

"I should pay attention to things at work. Mr. Ginoza, what are you thanking me for?" Tang Zhi Du Zhien dug out a pack of ginger biscuits from his private goods, unwrapped it and handed it to Ginoza, "Or, do you finally admit it?" Are you selfish?"

The surveillance officer froze at the question. Taking advantage of the time to refuse the analysis officer's dessert, he immediately resumed his serious tone, and reminded with displeasure through his glasses:

"Watch your words and deeds, Analyst."
