People are in Tokyo, there is a wishing machine

Chapter 4 Bad Rumors
Sanchome, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

"This damn weather, it's already May. Why is there an earthquake and rain? Fortunately, I ordered a hot ramen in advance."

In a police booth with only eight square meters on the side of the road, Akai Jiro let out a sigh of relief while clutching his hands, and picked up the ramen that the ramen shop next door had just delivered.

Not far from Mimachime in Minato-ku is the coast of Tokyo Bay. Although it has entered May, the sea breeze at night is still very cold when it rains.

The police booth has been around for some years, and the maintenance is OK, not too bad, but it can't keep out 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 servant examination. Although it is a job with seniority and it is difficult to get promoted, I am still a local civil servant. Seniors, conscientious and conscientious are called everywhere.

In addition to him, there were two senior inspectors in the police booth. They were both good people and took good care of him.

The law and order in the port area is not bad. 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 he is very satisfied with this simple job.

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

Akai suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed.

Through the lights on the side of the road, he saw a student in school uniform running towards the police booth in the rain.

"It's already this time, why are you still walking outside. Hurry up and take shelter from the rain, don't catch a cold."

Akai immediately opened the door, reproachfully said to the drenched young man, turned around and took out a clean white towel from the glove cabinet beside him, and handed it over.

"Sorry, I want to call the police."

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

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

Startled, Akai asked quickly.

"Someone is going to kill me."

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

Akai Goro hurriedly looked out the window nervously, for fear 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 male high school student who called the police, but the cannon fodder policeman who died at this time.

Fortunately, however, no other figures were seen outside the police booth.

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

Higashino Hirosawa shook his head with a look of lingering fear.

He wants to replace 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 station, he tried to use 1 wish point to make a wish to obtain the memory of the dead Hirozawa Higashino, but he failed to make the wish.

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

It is not easy to hide the memory, and sooner or later it will show his feet. Higashino Hirozawa thought that the best way is to let others know that he has amnesia.

The excuse is also very simple, he was almost drowned, survived the catastrophe, and lost his memory is completely plausible, many TV dramas are like this!
At the same time, he didn't know the address of the corpse. Although there was an address on the student ID card, there was no guarantee that he still lived there.

Therefore, it is the best choice to call the police, let the police record his memory loss, and at the same time let the police take him back to his residence.

Furthermore, he didn't know anything about the murderer's clues, and it took a lot of effort to investigate it himself, and he might not be able to find it smoothly.

After calling the police, the police will help to investigate. With the strength of the police, it will not be difficult to find clues. He only needs to find a way to get the files in the hands of the police to take revenge.

"What's your name, have you brought your student ID?"

Akai Jiro didn't expect that someone would actually dare to kidnap someone and sink into Tokyo Bay these days, and he would even meet him.

Having said that, who did this young man provoke, causing others to kill him to vent their hatred?
"Hirozawa Higashino."

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

"Hirozawa Higashino, are you that Hiroze Higashino?"

Akai glanced at the name on the student ID card and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The age is right, the appearance is a bit similar to the rumors, a little handsome, it seems that he is that person.

He has been watching the news. If it is Hiroze Higashino, it is not incomprehensible that someone wants to kill him.

After thinking for a while, Akai said to Hirozawa Higashino: "You probably don't live at the address on your student ID card anymore. I have to call and check for you."

"sorry to bother you."

Higashino Hirozawa nodded.

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

It is not normal for a student who will be sunk in Tokyo Bay to have no story.

"Yamada-senpai, I'm Akai, Mimachime, Minato-ku. I've encountered a little situation here... Yes, it's that Hirozawa Higashino... Okay, I understand. Sorry to trouble you, Yamada-senpai."

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

After a while, he put down the phone and said to Higashino Hirosawa: "Higashino-kun, I told Mr. Yamada from the police station about the matter. He knows about you and asked you to wait here for half an hour, and 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 side table drawer.

"Okay, sorry to bother you, but I can hardly remember anything."

Higashino Hirosawa said sorry.

What Akai Jiro can record, I am afraid there is nothing else to record except for the information of his amnesia.

"Don't remember anything?"

Akai Jiro asked a little embarrassed.

"Yes."

"Is that so." Akai Jiro glanced at Higashino Hirosawa, feeling that he might not be lying. After pondering for a while, he said, "If this is the case, it may be difficult to file a case for what happened to you."

"Can't file a case?"

Hirosawa Higashino was a little surprised.

Although he said that he couldn't give any clues, but someone called the police and said that he was almost sunk in the sea, and he didn't even file a case, that would be a bit too much.

"Whether a case can be filed is of course not something I can decide on a small inspection. What I can do is to help you record the information, and then hand it over to the people above to make a judgment. If someone else calls the police, the above will pay more attention to it, but you It has a false alarm record, so..."

Akai Jiro looked at Higashino Hirosawa and explained.

A very important indicator of the police is the detection rate. If Hirozawa Higashino was attacked and injured, the police had to file a case for investigation and try their best to solve it. However, Hirozawa Higashino is a good person now and can’t give any useful clues to help solve the case. It is very likely that the prisoner will not be found in the future, and the criminal police in the crime department are unlikely to ask for trouble.

"Call the false police?"

Higashino Hirosawa was shocked. What exactly did Higashino Hirosawa in this world go through? He even made a false report to the police.

Even a small inspector knows, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

"You really lost your memory?"

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

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

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

Higashino Hirosawa sighed helplessly.

Akai Jiro thought of the rumors related to Hirosawa Higashino on the Internet, and couldn't help hesitating a little.

Witnessing the appearance of Higashino Hirosawa with his own eyes, although he may have lost his memory, the impression of him from the rumors on the Internet is very different, and he does not look like a person with such a bad behavior.

Those rumors on the Internet may not be credible, do I really want to tell him those things?
"Please, Inspector Akai!"

Higashino Hirosawa saw that Jiro Akai was hesitating, and begged quickly.

"Since you say that, okay. However, I either read it from the Internet or heard it from others. I'm not sure if it's true or not. Just listen to it."

Seeing Hirosawa Higashino pleading so much, Jiro Akai could only say.

"The rumors about you are not good for you, so I won't say anything too specific."

Akai Jiro thought for a while and said briefly.

He has tried his best to put things in a more tactful manner. The rumors on the Internet are at least ten times worse than what he said.The plots in the book can be associated with this rumor.

"Am I such a badass?"

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.

"It's all rumors, it may not be true."

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

"Then what happened to the false police report?"

Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and asked again.

Since most of Akai Jiro's knowledge comes from the Internet, he can search the Internet for more information related to his identity.

However, the false police report may not be found on the Internet, and it may only be known to people inside the police system.

(PS: I saw a lot of readers asking why not make a wish to obtain memory. This chapter has already been mentioned. Readers who have not skipped the content after entering the police booth, please ignore it.)
