Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 156 Shui Wuliannai
a few days later.

Office of the Director of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.

As a counselor, Makino needs to report recent work to Minister Odagiri regularly.

In addition to summarizing recent important special cases, his job also covers a lot of "paper work" related to the departments under the Criminal Department.

After listening to Makino's report, Director Odagiri chuckled and nodded: "It seems that you have fully mastered the content of the work~"

Without waiting for Makino's response, Minister Odagiri continued, "By the way, Nichimi TV called this morning and said they wanted to do a special interview on the 'Red Siamese Cat Case.' They thought this proposal would help improve the image of the Metropolitan Police Department in front of the public, so they directly accepted Nichimi TV's invitation. As for the person who will be interviewed..."

Having said that, Minister Odagiri looked at Makino with a smile.

Seeing this, Makino smiled helplessly.

Although Minister Odagiri did not continue speaking, it seemed to make no difference whether he continued speaking or not.

As expected of Kil, he acted quite quickly.

After noticing Makino's expression, Minister Odagiri walked up to Makino, patted Makino's shoulder with a smile, and whispered, "I know you don't like these things, but standing in front of the stage is also good for you. The higher-ups also took this into consideration, so they directly accepted the TV station's suggestion~"

"I understand..." Makino nodded helplessly.

He could probably guess a little about what "the higher-ups" were thinking.

Due to the "natural opposition" in the nature of their work, the relationship between the Metropolitan Police Department and the media has always been delicate.

In addition, the crime rate in Tokyo has almost skyrocketed in recent years, but the ability of the Metropolitan Police Department officers to solve cases has not skyrocketed.

Therefore, before he joined the Metropolitan Police Department, the outside media often mentioned the Metropolitan Police Department or a certain police officer with a critical or even accusatory tone, and only a very small number of police officers could receive positive comments from these media.

Words like "incompetent police" and "tax thief" frequently appear in newspapers and news.

Even if the people above will not be substantially affected by this, they will probably not be happy if they are pointed at and scolded like this every day.

This may also be one of the reasons why the higher-ups want to use the media's positive comments about him to improve the reputation of the Metropolitan Police Department.

As for the "benefits" mentioned by Minister Odagiri, they are also easy to explain.

Once he stands in front of the stage representing the Metropolitan Police Department, he is essentially tied to the department, and they will prosper and suffer together.

Even if he made any "mistakes", the people above him would spare no effort to exonerate him.

As his appearances increase and his position rises... I'm afraid that in the eyes of the public, he alone can represent the entire Metropolitan Police Department.

To put it bluntly, it is a dual enhancement of explicit power and implicit power.

Seeing Makino nod in agreement, Minister Odagiri briefly explained some precautions and the general content of the interview.

With the double preparation of the red Siamese cat case and the interview, Minister Odagiri specially approved two days of leave for Makino.

At Makino's level, generally speaking, as long as there are no major cases, there is no need to work overtime, let alone be on duty like ordinary police officers. The so-called rest is actually not that important anymore.

But being able to rest "openly" is still quite attractive to Makino.

Especially in the past two days, he had just come into contact with [Qi] not long ago, and he needed time to familiarize himself with it and practice it.

Come to think of it, ever since he became Superintendent of Police, his rest time seems to have increased several times compared to when he was Inspector of Police and Superintendent of Police.

……

The next morning.

Makino drove to Nichimi TV.

When he reached the door of the TV station building, he looked around casually and then walked straight into the door.

For him, the original "Eagle Eye ability" is enough.

Unexpectedly, as he gradually mastered the [Qi], his five senses were also gradually improving.

Now, even if he doesn't use the Eagle Eye skill, he can clearly see distances that ordinary people can only see with a telescope.

When the two were combined, his vision reached an incredible level.

He just took a quick look around and took in everything near the TV station in detail.

Just as he guessed, the winery was not planning to take action against him here.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, Makino saw Kogoro Mori and others.

After seeing Makino, Xiaolan smiled and waved, "Brother Makino! We are here~"

Hearing this, Makino walked towards Xiaolan and the others and greeted them with a smile.

It is said that in order to understand the Red Siamese Cat Case from a different perspective, in addition to the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, Nichiren TV also invited "Sleeping Kogoro" who was also on the flying ship at the time.

With the help of Conan, the name of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro has gained a certain fame and influence.

Maori Kogoro walked quickly towards Makino, his face already full of smiles: "Officer Makino, I didn't expect that we would be interviewed together~ It is said that the host in charge of interviewing us is Mizunashi Rena, she is a big beauty!
Today is a memorable day! How about coming to my house for a drink after the interview? "

After saying this, Kogoro Mouri suddenly remembered something, and quickly covered his head with both hands, looking at his daughter beside him with a nervous expression.

Under Maori Kogoro's surprised gaze, Xiaolan covered her mouth and laughed, "Today is indeed a memorable day. After all, I also want to meet Miss Mizunashi Reina who often appears on TV. I remember she used to be the host of the morning news..."

Seeing that Xiaolan had no intention of blaming him, Maori Kogoro immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned his head, winked at Makino, and made a gesture of holding a small wine glass with his hand.

Makino smiled and nodded, accepting Kogoro Mori's invitation.

At this moment, the producer of Nichimi TV, Masaki Mizukawa, who was also on the airship, and a lady with a black ponytail walked towards Makino and his companions with a smile.

The next moment, Producer Mizukawa extended his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Makino, Mr. Mori, it's been a long time since we last met! Thank you both for accepting our invitation!"

After shaking hands with Makino and the other man, Producer Mizukawa reached out and introduced the lady next to him: "By the way, this is the host responsible for interviewing the two of you this time, Ms. Mizunashi Reina. When she heard that the scheduled interviewees for this special interview were the two of you, she immediately took over the job of host~"

Without waiting for Producer Mizukawa to continue the introduction, Maori Kogoro tried his best to put on an expression that he thought was handsome, and tightly held Mizunashi Rena's hand: "Miss Mizunashi! I am the famous detective Maori Kogo...Ah!!"

Under the astonished gazes of Producer Mizukawa and Rena Mizunashi, Xiaolan reached out and grabbed Kogoro Mori's arm tightly, forcing him to let go.

The next second, Xiaolan bowed slightly to Mizuno Rena and said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry! Miss Mizuno, father is so rude!"

"Ah... no, it's okay~" Rena Mizunashi looked down at Xiaolan, smiled and waved her hand.

After comforting Xiaolan, Mizunashi Rena looked at Makino who was standing beside her, smiled and stretched out her hand, saying: "You must be Officer Makino, right? I often heard about you before~ I remember you seemed to have many famous titles, such as..."

Without waiting for Rena Mizuno to continue, Makino immediately shook Rena Mizuno's hand quickly and forcibly interrupted the topic: "Ms. Rena Mizuno, what is the process of today's interview?" "Ah, don't worry about that. Before the recording starts, I will go over the more complicated questions with you two in advance~" Rena Mizuno chuckled.

"Really? Then I feel relieved~" Makino also smiled back at Rena Mizunashi.

While talking with Makino, Rena Mizunashi was carefully observing Makino in front of her.

This handsome and kind-looking young police officer in front of him didn't look like a powerful character who could hurt Gin and the others and "hold a grudge against them".

As a "media person", she had heard of the name Ryuichi Makino a long time ago.

——"The Nergigante of the Metropolitan Police Department", "The youngest Metropolitan Police Department inspector", "The rising star of the Metropolitan Police Department"...

Over the years, perhaps only Officer Makino has been given so many "positive" titles by various media outlets at the same time.

Therefore, no matter what the abilities of Officer Makino are, the "topic value" of Makino is enough to attract the attention of the Japanese television station.

Over the years, many celebrity producers have invited Officer Makino to appear on his shows, but all were declined.

This time, while the "Red Siamese Cat" incident had not yet been completely resolved, in order to achieve the target ratings, the TV station's top management relied on their personal connections and directly contacted the top management of the Metropolitan Police Department...

Thinking of this, Rena Mizuno suddenly felt that she seemed to be lucky.

If not for this, she might not have been able to contact Officer Makino so smoothly.

Next, she just needs to go with the flow...

……

after an hour.

With the “OK” from the on-site supervisor, the recording of the program in the studio officially came to an end.

After the staff started to handle the scene, the on-site supervisor and program producer walked towards Makino and Maori Kogoro while clapping and smiling.

"As expected of Officer Makino and Detective Maori, your performance is simply outstanding!"

"That's right! Even for professional hosts and actors, it's hard to finish recording so quickly!"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro unceremoniously stuck out his tongue and laughed: "Really? This is actually all thanks to Miss Mizunashi Reina! Hahahaha!"

Xiaolan, who was standing by, looked at Kogoro Mouri awkwardly with a slightly red face.

Even Conan was so embarrassed that he covered his face with his hands and smiled awkwardly.

Come on uncle...can't you hear such obvious flattery?
During the recording process just now, you were the only one who kept making mistakes, right?
After seeing Mouri Kogoro's reaction, the director and the producer's expressions did not change at all. They still looked at Mouri Kogoro with a smile on their faces, and kept praising and flattering Makino and Mouri Kogoro.

After praising each other for a while, the producer turned to look at Rena Mizunashi and nodded.

Seeing this, Mizunashi Reina also smiled and said, "Mr. Makino, Mr. Mori, thank you for your hard work! Before the outdoor recording in the afternoon, please let us treat you to lunch~"

Maori Kogoro looked at Mizunashi Rena expectantly and said, "Okay, but Miss Mizunashi Rena, can you also have dinner with us?"

Makino: "..."

"Dad?!" Xiaolan clenched her fists.

Mizuno Reina nodded and smiled: "Of course, after all, my job today is to record a program with the two of you~"

"That's great! In fact, no matter what kind of food it is, as long as Miss Mizuno is here, I will..."

Before Kogoro Mouri could finish his words, Ran, who was standing beside him, stepped between him and Rena Mizunashi and stared at him intently.

After seeing his daughter's angry and threatening eyes, Kogoro Mouri immediately shut his mouth and avoided Xiaolan's sight.

At this moment, Mizunashi Rena glanced at the phone in her hand and her expression changed instantly.

The next moment, she bowed her head to say goodbye to Makino, Maori Kogoro and others, and temporarily left the studio on the pretext of answering a phone call.

Seeing this, a hidden light flashed in Makino's eyes.

Two minutes later, in the staff lounge.

After carefully checking the surroundings, Rena Mizunashi locked the door directly.

Unlike when she faced Makino and others before, at this moment, Rena Mizunashi completely put away the fake smile on her face, picked up the phone calmly, and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, Gin's slightly gloomy voice immediately reached Mizunashi Reina's ears: "Kil, what's the situation?"

"I have successfully contacted the target. After the recording is finished this afternoon, I will prepare to..."

Before Mizunashi Reina could finish her plan, Gin on the other end of the phone interrupted her: "We don't have that much time. Your afternoon program recording location should be in a park near the TV station, right? Until you receive any instructions, just continue with your interview work."

After saying that, Gin hung up the phone.

Mizuno Rena looked down at the phone in her hand, her brows furrowed.

Outside the lounge, Makino shook his head in disappointment.

He originally thought that Gin could come up with some "powerful" means to deal with him, but he didn't expect it to be the same old trick.

Even though Gin didn't explain the action plan on the phone, he had guessed it almost exactly.

Gin probably wanted to send someone to ambush him near the park in advance, and then attack him during the recording of the show...

Compared to Gin's plan of committing crimes, Makino is more concerned about his own physical condition.

Under the blessing and influence of [Qi], his five senses have been significantly enhanced.

Among the five senses, hearing is naturally included.

Without using a bug, it would have been impossible for him to hear Rena Mizunashi's voice through the door, let alone Gin's voice on the phone.

But now, he can actually do something that seems like a fairy tale!
Thinking of this, Makino frowned, with a slightly complicated feeling: "Isn't it obvious that I have exceeded the scope of 'human'?"

……

After half an hour.

Led by Rena Mizunashi, Makino and others came to a high-end restaurant not far from Nichimi TV.

Judging from the restaurant's decoration and atmosphere, Nichima TV has obviously invested heavily in this program.

In order to satisfy him and Kogoro Mori, the TV station people actually specially selected an expensive high-end restaurant.
