Chapter 88
Wakamatsu Rin pushed open the door of the cafe, and immediately heard the clerk's enthusiastic "Welcome" speech.
This WrightCoffee is located near the Sakurada Gate. It is the closest private cafe to the Metropolitan Police Department. However, there are very few male police officers who come to shop, and the few men in suits and leather shoes that occasionally sit in the store are mostly civil servants from the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Rin Wakamatsu appeared here today because the coffee machine in the office happened to be broken, and Yingzi, who usually ran errands for her, happened to be absent for a business exam, so she was too lazy to tell other people in the office, after all, not everyone is like Yingzi She is usually smart and safe, and knows how she drinks coffee and desserts, so when the lunch break comes, she runs over in person.
But as soon as he entered the door, Rin Wakamatsu noticed that the atmosphere in the store today was different from usual. It seemed to be extraordinarily lively, with more customers, and most of them were young women.
She looked around for a while, and quickly found the only variable in the crowd, not only because the opponent was the center of sight of almost all the female customers in the store, but also because the handsome guy who was radiating charm to the customers was very familiar to her, familiar It was Toru Amuro who I had just met in the parking lot of Teidan High School the day before yesterday.
It turns out that this guy secretly said to keep this secret before, which is quite a surprise.
Counting the first meeting at the hotel, this is the third time Rin Wakamatsu has seen Toru Amuro working as a waiter in restaurants, cafes, etc.
At the same time, she had to admire Jiang Guling's boldness, he dared to look for a job here, is he really not afraid of being recognized by a few acquaintances and friends?After all, the straight-line distance between Wright Cafe and the Metropolitan Police Department is no more than 800 meters, so I might just meet them on the way to work one day.
But being so close is not bad, at least he wants to exchange information with Kazami, it will be very convenient. The Metropolitan Police Department is opposite the Sakurada Gate of the Imperial Palace, and there are many large open parks nearby. The parks are usually sparsely populated, which is very beneficial. It is most suitable to observe whether there are any following figures around, and it is most suitable for chatting and exchanging information.
In front of Wakamatsu Rin is a woman in a black suit. Judging from the material of the suit and the fabric that has not produced any wrinkles after working for half a day, this is obviously a female elite with a high quality of life and a very particular style. But at this moment, this female elite abnormally grabbed Toru Amuro and asked him for reference, as if JK, who was crazy about seeing a handsome guy, completely lost her usual elite demeanor.
Wakamatsu Rin doesn't need to look at the watch, she can estimate the time she hesitated, asking and discussing, at least 5 minutes, which undoubtedly delayed the time of all the people in the queue behind, Wakamatsu Rin heard someone complaining to her behind her up.
The voice of complaints was not small, at least the female elite who was fascinated by Amuro Toru's beauty obviously heard it, she paused, and finally pretended not to hear it, and adopted the menu combination she tried at first.
Wakamatsu Rin was in stark contrast to her. As soon as she stood in front of the counter, she said without hesitation: "A cup of latte, a whole strawberry layer cake." Obviously, she had already thought about the menu to order.
Toru Amuro went up to her and blinked, the business smile on his face was a bit sincere, fortunately he still remembered to maintain a polite tone that he didn't know each other: "Okay, please come here to pay the bill first, we will let you know later Someone will send it over."
Facts have proved that this move is very prescient, because just as Rin Wakamatsu was walking to the counter, the female elite in front just finished buying the order and turned her head. She looked at Rin Wakamatsu and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Rin Wakamatsu?!"
The only one who would call her by name and surname in such a tone of implicit dissatisfaction was her classmate from the law school of her university.
If Tomoko Kogoshi has the ability to read minds and can see Rin Wakamatsu's mental activities at this moment, she will definitely vomit blood with anger.
Why did she dislike her? Wakamatsu Rin made her so resentful because she had always been so ignorant.
In the four years of university, only the year after Rin Wakamatsu graduated early, she won the first place in the law school. For the other three years, she has been humiliated and placed below her. No matter how hard she studies, Rin Wakamatsu will always Standing there like a high wall, she couldn't get over it.
Obviously, she is just a young lady who has no worries about food and clothing. She has no idea how important No.1, scholarships, and various event medals are to her who was born in the common class. She has put in so much sweat. The other party dismissed what she got, and even declined with the ridiculous reason that she didn't have time when the professor asked her to participate in the project.
However, after working for three years, the 25-year-old Tomoko Takagoshi has learned to hide her emotions. After encountering an old classmate she doesn't like, she can still keep a reserved smile and invite the other party to sit in the same seat.
Although the fact is that there are too many customers in Wright's store today, there are not many vacant seats left, so the two had to share a table.
"Long time no see, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Tomoko Takagoshi took a sip of the lemonade that the waiter poured for the guests, and leaned gracefully on the back of the chair.
Using this sentence as the opening remark of the old classmates who have been separated for four years, at least it is more polite than the three words of Rin Wakamatsu just now. It seems that social experience has a great influence on Tomoko Kogoshi. When we met just now, Rin Wakamatsu almost didn’t recognize him. This woman with exquisite makeup is her old classmate.
"After graduating that year, I joined the Metropolitan Police Department. Everyone in the academy should know." Wakamatsu Rin also took a sip from the water glass, and replied to Tomoko Kogoshi's greeting.
If a bystander observes the two of them here, they will find that the same movements are performed by her, but she has a more natural flavor than Tomoko Kogoshi, which is a unique temperament that has been cultivated for a long time.
Tomoko Kogoshi raised his eyebrows, and said in a very firm tone: "If you know, you know. The news that you joined the Metropolitan Police Department shocked everyone in the academy, but everyone thought that you would not be in the police system for a long time. After working for about two years, I will resign and go home to join the family business, or transfer to work for the Ministry of Justice, I never thought..." She glanced at Rin Wakamatsu's Asahikage badge pinned to her neckline, which is a unique feature of the Metropolitan Police Department sign.
Wakamatsu Rin finished the unfinished words for her: "I didn't expect it to be four years, and I still haven't resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"
Tomoko Takagoshi shrugged: "Officer Wakamatsu, you can't blame me for this, who made you refuse to be present at every class reunion, even though it was rumored that you were still in the Metropolitan Police Department, isn't it true that seeing is believing."
"It's my fault for releasing pigeons many times, but the case doesn't depend on whether I have a class reunion. It happens to happen every time. It's a beautiful thing." Of course, Rin Wakamatsu can't fail to hear her eccentricity, but she's too lazy to talk to her. She cares.
"excuse me."
The clear male voice interrupted the reminiscence of the two old classmates. Rin Wakamatsu and Tomoko Takagoshi looked up and saw the handsome waiter who just ordered was holding a plate in one hand and smiling brightly at them, "This is the two What did the guest order, a cup of hot Americano with matcha mousse, a cup of latte and strawberry layer cake?"
Tomoko Kogoshi blushed immediately, and she coughed twice to manage to maintain her usual face at work without being too rude, "Yes, yes, you can put it on the table."
Rin Wakamatsu nodded slightly at Toru Amuro, expressing the correct meaning.
Toru Amuro placed the things in front of the two of them one by one, smiled and gestured: "Please use it slowly." Then he left.
Tomoko Kogoshi looked at his back reluctantly, and didn't look back until he returned to the counter. This handsome waiter looked very similar to the senior who rescued her from school bullying in junior high school, almost exactly the same, if it wasn't for the different names, She was almost mistaken.
"If you like him, why don't you start pursuing him directly?" Wakamatsu Rin took a sip of the latte, and the bitter coffee tasted in his mouth, and the brows could not help frowning slightly, wondering in his heart, when he was studying, he didn't see Tomoko Takagoshi showing any unusual behavior towards the handsome guy Hobbies, why have I suddenly changed my sex after working for a few years?
"No," Tomoko Takagoshi sighed first, mourning the first love she couldn't find, and then flatly rejected Rin Wakamatsu's proposal, "I am now the first secretary of the Minister of Justice Sachiko Sakuragawa. Representing the face of Lord Sakuragawa, you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds." The pride in the tone is beyond words.
What does the Minister of Justice represent?
Rin Wakamatsu naturally knows that the central administrative department of Japan is called a "province", and the Minister of Justice is the highest official of the Ministry of Justice. In just three years, Takakoshi Tomoko was able to become the first secretary of the highest official of a province. Reuse is evident.
And the meaning behind Tomoko Kogoshi's words is also very clear. She is now trying to leapfrog class and become a crony of a politician with real power. The same goes for the peerless handsome guy.
However, she didn't know that Toru Amuro's real identity was Rei Furutani, an elite public security policeman affiliated to the National Police Agency, not a poor boy without a stable job. In a sense, his job was even more decent than hers currently.Because Tomoko Kogoshi's first secretary sounds like a high-ranking secretary, but she is actually employed by the Minister of Justice himself, and her salary is paid by a private person. Naturally, the salary is not as high as that of elite civil servants.The reason why Tomoko Takagoshi is willing to do this "low" salary job is because of her political prospects and looking forward to the promotion of Sachiko Sakuragawa in the future.
Rin Wakamatsu had to sigh for Tomoko Takagoshi's bad luck. If in a year or two, Rei Fuguya had finished his undercover mission and came back to work, if she behaved like this when we met in another scene, maybe the senior officers of the police department wanted to get along with the Minister of Justice. If you have a good relationship, you will be happy to keep the matchmaker, and you will be given the task to let Rei Fuguya go on a blind date with Tomoko Kogoshi.
However, Tomoko Kogoshi told her current job in this way, not only to separate herself from Toru Amuro in front of her old classmates, but also to let Rin Wakamatsu know that she is no longer what she used to be, and is no longer the poor girl she used to be. college student.
However, Wakamatsu Rin did not play cards according to common sense at all. She didn't run on her sourly because of her words, and she didn't flatter her like others who heard about it. She just said "oh" very plainly and said congratulations , and then started to drive her cake.
Tomoko Kogoshi had no choice but to continue stabbing her: "Your appetite is still the same as before. One person can eat the amount of seven or eight other people."
Compared with the small piece of matcha mousse on her plate, the whole 8-inch cake in front of Wakamatsu Rin is simply a giant.
"Where is it?" Wakamatsu Rin said, biting a strawberry, squinting his eyes with happiness, "After all, the physique that can't eat fat is the same as the birth, it is rewarded by God, and others can't envy it."
Tomoko Gao Yue's eyes were almost red with anger. If she hadn't remembered that this was a public place and there were many people from the Ministry of Justice, she might not be able to control her temper.
"Sakura, how's the exam going?"
In the afternoon, when Sakurako Kitagawa entered the door just before working hours, she was greeted with kind condolences from her boss and a file pushed over.
"Thank you, Ms. Wakamatsu, for your concern. I feel that I did well in this test, and I should be able to pass with a high score." The top student Yingzi said confidently, picked up the file on the desktop and asked, "Ms. Wakamatsu, what is this, a new task?"
"That's right," Rin Wakamatsu and other Sakurako opened the file, read the first page, and then continued, "Tomoko Takagoshi, graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo, with the highest grades in the year, and is currently the Minister of Justice Sachiko Sakuragawa's No. A private secretary."
"This resume is amazing...wait a minute," Yingzi glanced at the time the other party was studying at the University of Tokyo, "So, isn't she Miss Wakamatsu's classmate?"
"That's right," Rin Wakamatsu nodded, "But Sakurako, you don't have to shy away from me, even though the investigation is, I now initially suspect that Tomoko Takagoshi is also one of the NOCs bought by that organization, although it did not appear on the previous list her name."
Perhaps, Soko Kogoshi is not a NOC, but a future potential stock that the organization is optimistic about?After all, the confidant of the Minister of Justice can accomplish many things with a big banner and a false prestige.
Rin Wakamatsu is very aware of Tomoko Takagoshi's family background. After all, the other party worked three jobs for a long time during college. She once deliberately refused a practical project invited by the professor because the professor would give some subsidies to the participating student members. It was very beneficial to Tomoko Kogoshi. She gave up the spot in that way because of the other party's self-esteem, but in the end, for some reason, she seemed to be hated by the other party.
But Rin Wakamatsu asked Sakurako to investigate Tomoko Kogoshi this time. It has nothing to do with personal grievances, but because she found out at the cafe at noon that Tomoko Takagoshi was dressed so well. Her current living standard is completely different from the past. , but as far as she knew, a job like a private secretary, even if the salary paid by a governor of a province, was not as high as that of an elite civil servant, so she couldn't afford the suit she bought and consumed at all.
Unless Tomoko Kogoshi has other special sources of income besides the work of the first secretary, but this point has been preliminarily ruled out by Noah at noon, and the only thing left is——
"Tomoko Takagoshi has unknown financial support. I have confirmed this, and excluded special sources of money such as feelings, accidental awards, etc. Sakurako, put her on the long-term monitoring list, don't disturb the other party, and handle it the same as other mission objectives , and if you find anything abnormal, let me know in time."
Yingzi picked up the file: "Yes, I understand."
