Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 235 Punishment (Return)

"The information we received was that the prisoner still had more than ten rounds of ammunition. He was not aware that he had run out of bullets."

"I am confirming the facts and don't need excuses."

Fujibayashi Mingzhi looked at her, "What you are saying now is consistent with the facts, right?"

“It’s true, but it’s not entirely correct.”

"What do you mean?"

Fujibayashi Akihito crossed his hands, seeming to not understand what the other party had just said.

Qinghai Chuantang answered directly: "I feel like you are forcibly connecting facts that are unfavorable to me."

"What do you think I've overlooked?"

"That's not what I meant."

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him, "Are you deliberately ignoring me?"

"What kind of facts?" asked Fujibayashi Akihiro.

"The fact that the two hostages were rescued without incident."

Fujibayashi Mingzhi was silent for a while, then said, "That's all I want to ask you. You can leave now."

After leaving the Chief Inspector's Office, Qing Haichuantang met Kobe Yuya again in the open-air hall on the first floor.

"Right, isn't it? Pretty cool?"

"really."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, "Chief Inspector Fujibayashi seems to be considering more than just who should be held responsible for this case. I heard he is a fair and upright person."

"What I heard is different from the truth."

As soon as Kobe Yuya finished speaking, a third voice interrupted them.

The two looked at the newcomer.

Kobe Yuya said bluntly: "You really look as if nothing happened."

"what happened?"

Danzawa Xuan smiled, seemingly not understanding what he wanted to express.

"Don't play dumb, it must be you, right? Call the Chief Inspector."

"Your intelligence was wrong and you killed the criminal by mistake." Danzawa Xuan restrained his expression and showed a serious look: "Even if it is the National Police Agency, we can't turn a blind eye."

"At that time, the front-line chief, Director Qing Haichuan," he said, pointing at Qing Haichuantang, and then pointing at Kobe Yuya, "the command chief, Kobe Criminal Chief."

Danzawa Gen's meaning was very clear.

"Then there's no need for both of them to be punished," Kanbe Yuya glanced at Qinghai Chuantang and said, "I, the criminal department director, am enough."

She has just been demoted. If she is demoted again
Danzawa Gen deliberately misinterpreted his meaning and said in a surprised tone, "You really want to be the director of a branch office?"

"If I am demoted to the director of a branch office, what will happen to Qing Haichuan?"

Danzawa Xuan glanced at her silently, "The regional police officer."

Seeing the two people's serious expressions, Danzawa Xuan smiled instead, "Just kidding."

After saying that, he was ready to leave.

As if he suddenly remembered something, he stopped.

"I received news that Chief Inspector Fujibayashi's inspection results will be released three days later at nine in the morning."

"is it?"

"You may be able to stay in the position of director for three more days."

Judging from the other party's tone, he seemed to be certain that he only had three days left as director.

“The results are not out yet.”

"Wouldn't it be a good idea to start packing while we're at it?"

"No need to worry about it."

Danzawa Xuan smiled, said nothing more, and left the open-air hall.

At night, in the director's office.

"Kirishima, is there any result yet?"

"Yes. The person who wrote this report was not reporter Jing Yuan, but someone else."

"Okay, thank you."

After thinking for a while, Qinghai Chuantang added: "This time, I owe you a favor."

Afterwards, Nishigami Seiichi was called to the director's office.

And Hisahara Daisatoshi and others had already been waiting here.

"I have confirmed with the head of the social department of each newspaper that the person who leaked the information was not you."

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him and said, "I'm sorry for doubting you."

After saying that, she bowed to him.

Kitai no Nosuke and others looked at her in surprise, having never expected such a move.

Xi Shangchengyi looked a little awkward.

He took a step forward and said, "That's surprising. Did you go out of your way to confirm whether it was done by one of your own people?"

"I have to get the facts straight."

Qinghai Chuantang glanced at everyone and said, "That's all."

Hisahara Daisatoshi and others said goodbye and left.

Only Xi Shangchengyi remained where he was.

She asked, "Anything else?"

"Section Chief," Nishigami Chengyi turned his head and looked at Koshiyama Naoji beside him, and said, "This is a rare opportunity, let the director listen to it too."

"Idiot! Stop talking!"

Naoji Koshiyama lowered his voice and yelled at him.

"what's up?"

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him and asked.

Xi Shangcheng scratched his head, took a few steps forward, and said, "I always feel that there are many unacceptable things in this case."

"There are three points. First, there was a fight when the armed criminal attacked the store, right? If the criminal had made a unilateral threat, we should have known about it."

He analyzed, "But when we called the police, they said it was a fight."

Naoshi Koshiyama quickly walked up to his side and said, "There's nothing strange about this."

"Second point. Why did the criminal, Oki, go to Wangtian to kidnap people?"

Nishigami Chengyi raised a contradiction, "We finally escaped the emergency alert, shouldn't we flee far away?"

The third point is cooking.

"The prisoner threatened the hostage to cook. But did the hostage use a knife? If I were the prisoner, I would definitely not do that."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, thinking that the other party's analysis was very reasonable.

She looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

“I don’t want to add to the workload but I personally think this case is not over yet.”

Qinghai Chuantang understood what he meant.

So he turned his gaze to Naoji Koshiyama, "Does Nishigami have any cases to deal with now?"

"Of course," Naoji Koshiyama replied, "All detectives have a few cases."

Xi Shangcheng said: "I can handle it alone."

"How's the case going on now?"

"Add one or two, it doesn't matter."

Since the other party has made the decision, she naturally will not obstruct it.

What's more, this case is indeed full of doubts.

Whether for yourself or for the people involved in this case, you must——

Find out the truth!

"Then go and search again."

"Director!"

Upon hearing what Qinghai Chuantang said, Yueshan Naoshi became anxious: "If something new happens now, no one will be happy! Besides, this case has been transferred to the procuratorate!"

"Do as I command."

Qinghai Chuantang said in an unquestionable tone, "If anything happens, I will take full responsibility."

Everyone was shocked.

But Xi Shang Chengyi smiled.

"I have a request."

He looked at Qinghai Chuantang and said, "I want to see the surveillance records of last night's attack. It is now kept by the Metropolitan Police Department, and our branch office cannot access the detailed surveillance records."

"I understand."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded slightly, "I'll contact the Metropolitan Police Department."

The next morning, in the director's office.

"excuse me."

Hisahara Daisatoshi walked in, placed the documents on the table, and said, "After the Metropolitan Police Department sent the identification materials, I handed them over to Nishi."

"Ok."

Qinghai Chuantang said as he picked up the latest file and began to look through it.

She felt that this was even more tiring than when she was organizing the Intelligence Group.

"Director, are you really going to reopen that case?"

"Of course," Qinghai Chuantang said, "If there are suspicious things in the branch office, we should investigate."

Hisahara Daisatoshi pondered over what she had just said.

I began to re-examine the director who suddenly came to Omori Kita Police Station.

He bowed to him and turned away.

Qinghai Chuantang sighed softly.

If this goes on, I'll shorten my life sooner or later, right?

After finishing processing the documents, Qing Hai Chuantang came to the criminal class and found Xi Shang Cheng Yi sitting at his seat.

He asked, “Did you find out anything?”

"Scared me."

Nishigami Chengyi looked up at her and said, "It's not clear yet. We just got it. But, as expected of the Identification Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, the investigation is quite thorough."

All the bullets and shell casings were found, which was a huge undertaking.

"That's it."

Qinghai Chuantang said softly.

"Director, I heard you were under investigation."

Xi Shang Chengyi asked casually without looking up.

She didn't deny it,
"Why do you know?"

"What are you talking about?" Xi Shangcheng laughed, "Everyone knows it."

Qinghai Chuantang was slightly stunned.

The other party continued, "Now, Director, you are the focus of attention of the Omori North Police Department."

This made Qinghai Chuantang feel a little uncomfortable.

She didn't like the feeling of being watched by so many people, as if her every move was restricted and she couldn't do what she wanted.

"If you find anything in the identification results, tell me."

After she finished explaining, she turned and left.

"Director."

"what?"

Qinghai Chuantang stopped but did not turn around to look at the other party.

"Will you be punished?"

Qinghai Chuantang paused for a moment and said, "We don't know yet, but the possibility is quite high."

"Will you be transferred to another place?" Nishigami Chengyi asked again.

"possible."

"That guy is so boring."

After saying that, Xi Shang Chengyi picked up a piece of chewing gum and put it in his mouth.

After returning to the director's office, Qinghai Chuantang continued to process the documents that had not yet been processed.

At this moment, she really wanted to stamp that man's forehead with a seal.

You have to do this!

Afterwards, Nishigami Chengyi seemed to have finally discovered something.

"Director, take a look at this."

He walked in with the information, then placed the paper in front of Qinghai Chuantang, pointed to a line on it and said, "No bullet trajectory investigation was conducted."

"On the night of the crime, the criminal, Omu, fired four shots and SAT fired six. A total of ten bullets and shell casings were taken into custody by the Identification Department. It is not clear which gun belonged to Omu."

After hearing this, Qinghai Chuantang looked at him.

Said: "It is obvious that Oki used a Beretta automatic pistol and SAT used a light machine gun."

"But surprisingly, even the police didn't know about this."

Xi Shangcheng looked at her and said seriously: "The Beretta and the light machine gun use the same bullet. They are both 9X19mm Luger bullets."

Qinghai Chuantang understood what the other party meant.

If they used the same bullet, then in addition to SAT, Oki Kazuo might have shot himself.

Of course, there is another possibility -

The one who shot Oki Kazuo was neither SAT nor himself, but someone else.
