October 16th, Monday.
Aoyama Xiu Xin and Nozaki Cangjian met on the rooftop.
"Just closed another case. Got any thoughts about your future?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked with a cigarette in his mouth, breathing out a ring of smoke that slowly dispersed.
Nozaki Cangjian clearly had ideas already. He snuffed out his cigarette, turned to face Aoyama Xiu Xin, took a deep breath, and saluted, "Nozaki Cangjian requests to rejoin the force!"
Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded in agreement, as Nozaki Cangjian's undercover resume was already too rich; having conned domestically, he had even gone on to con foreigners. Now that foreigners too had been conned, there was nobody left to deceive.
It was time to restore his police identity.
"I will submit your undercover information to the Police Headquarters and apply for your promotion to Police Chief Asai,"
Aoyama Xiu Xin said somberly as he flicked ash from his cigarette.
