Entering March, the days were beco warmer, but it was still cold once the sun went down, especially in rain like this
Gotou Kazutoshi riting his work log at the police station
He hated doing it It had already been two years since he entered the police force, but this was the one thing he could not grow accustomed to He would rather some sort of incident occurred
Gotou reclined on his chair as he hts in his head
The sound of pouring rain rang in his ears
Suddenly, he noticed that so in front of the police station
He was aso heavily, he was not carrying an umbrella, and his black coat was coht Even though visibility was already not that great under the circulasses, as if to hide his face
There was a strange atmosphere
Gotou stood up and headed towards thea hand on the police baton in the holder at his hip
‘What are you doing there?’
When he spoke up, the man slowly raised his face
’A child…’
’What?’
Gotou could only hear the beginning of his sentence, the rest of which had been drowned out by the rain
’A child is about to be murdered’
The man spoke in an emotionless voice Almost like the synthetic speech of a machine
’What did you say?’
’A child is about to be murdered, officer’

Gotou rushed out into the rain after him
The rain was incredible His unifor Theperfectly in a situation like this while wearing sunglasses

Gotou yelled at the man’s back
’Yes’
The man stopped and looked up at the rainy sky
’Then we have to hurry’
’Yes’
After theany faster
What was up with hi so leisurely?
’Where’s the kid?’
Gotou spoke up, unable to bear it any longer
The ht hand out of his pocket and pointed down the completely dark street
’Just down the road’
’The kid’s ahead?’
’There is a building under construction’
’The kid’s in there?’
’Yes’
’Got it’
At the same time as he replied, Gotou dashed down the asphalt
He knew the building theabout It was a bit over a hundred metres ahead If he ran, it wouldn’t even take twenty seconds
Soon, he could see the building he was looking for There were five floors, but the concrete only went up to the second floor, while the floors above it still showed steel scaffolding
He should have just asked in the first place When he turned around, the man from before had been sed by the darkness and could not be seen
