''Aren't these C-E incidents scary? the number of victims keep adding up for the past three months!''
''Yeah, did you hear the news? a police officer was apparently one of the victims last night!''
''Yes, I heard he's a son of a rich bachelor that raped a teenage girl years ago and got away with it. I think what EROS did was right, people like him deserve to die.''
The public opinion about the police force had worsen. It's like nobody wants to rely on us anymore because we couldn't do anything about what happened last night, and the issue about senior Genjiro circulated around the internet and other media.
His body was found in an abandoned warehouse around 1:00 am early today. Because of it, I didn't even get a wink of sleep. My eyes were swollen and I had no appetite when I went to the station this morning. We couldn't even mourn his death because of the busy schedule and his body was immediately sent back to Japan hours after they found him.
Five months ago, I was just a boring police woman without any experience. My job was to listen to people's troubles and try to prevent crime. Right now, my job didn't really change one bit. I was sitting alone in front of my desk while waiting for phone calls of concerned citizens to answer any of their inquiries. Having to participate in an investigation was never meant for my current position, although I can say I'm pretty much skilled in markmanship but I haven't tried shooting anyone yet.
I went to the crime scene earlier and met up with my friends from forensics.
