Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 195 What is the concept of undercover

The next morning.

Inside the office of the Director of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Makino and Minister Odagiri sat on the sofa facing each other.

"You and Yuno go down and make the arrangements. Report to me if there are any problems."

After discussing with Makino the tasks and work that would be carried out in each classroom in the near future, Director Odagiri picked up the coffee cup in front of him and moistened his throat.

Soon after, Minister Odagiri waved his hand casually: "Okay, let's end this topic here. As you know, the following 'promotion' meeting will be held in two days."

Makino nodded.

He had specifically asked Shiratori, Takagi and others to go to Kyoto to participate in the case for this very reason.

Seeing Makino nod, Minister Odagiri said with a slightly teasing expression: "The people you intend to train are all good. They are all on the preliminary list this time~"

Hearing this, Makino smiled and shook his head: "Don't tease me."

It would be fine if others didn't know, but it was impossible for Minister Odagiri in front of him to not know the ins and outs of this.

The reason why Officer Takagi and the others were all on the preliminary list was not only because of their many contributions...

Although Makino did not take the initiative to "nominate" Takagi and his companions, both the General Affairs Section of the Criminal Department and the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Police Department knew that Takagi and his companions were members of his "faction."

Therefore, the police officers in charge of the review gave the green light immediately after seeing the names of Takagi and others.

And in the final analysis, this is actually a matter within their "Criminal Department". Unless there are special circumstances, other departments generally will not easily intervene.

In addition, this was just a promotion for a "low-level police officer", so the top brass at the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency did not care.

After seeing Makino's reaction, Minister Odagiri smiled and shook his head: "I thought you were used to it a long time ago~ You don't have to think so much, kid. I have read the information of those people. They are indeed excellent. Even if there are no other factors, it is probably only a matter of time before they are promoted."

"Let's not talk about the positions for Inspector and Superintendent for now. There is only one Inspector position in the Investigation Division this time, and those Inspectors can't be promoted at the same time this time... Oh, I remember that Inspector Date was your classmate in the police academy, right?"

"Yes, he is the monitor of our class and also my roommate." Makino nodded.

"Is that so..." Minister Odagiri rested his hands on his chin and began to think.

There are not many elites in the First Investigation Division, and even fewer who can leave a deep impression on him. This police officer named Ida Ko is one of them.

After a moment, Chief Odagiri looked at Makino and said, "There is still one vacancy for Inspector in Investigation Section 3, but there..."

"..."

After coming out of Minister Odagiri's office, Makino returned to his own office.

Judging from Minister Odagiri's previous words and "hints", it seems that everyone except Officer Shiratori will be promoted.

Takagi will be successfully promoted to deputy inspector, and Sato and Date will also be promoted to inspector.

The only problem is Inspector Shiratori. Since he was automatically promoted to inspector not long ago, he will not be able to continue to be promoted in the near future.

Makino didn't care much about this.

After all, he had worked as police inspector for almost two years before being promoted to superintendent.

All police officers are basically aware of the rules of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Merit is naturally important, but there are many factors that are more important than merit.

Thinking of this, Makino leaned back in his office chair and slowly closed his eyes.

In the previous Kyoto case, the mission reward he received was also a prop:
——【Smart Tracking Device】

Since it was just an S-level item, and even a tracker of little use, Makino didn't take it seriously at first glance.

However, after seeing the introduction of this tracking device, Makino still became interested.

This tracking device is completely different from the tracker that Makino remembered.

Rather than being an intelligent tracking device, it is more like an "intelligent ant robot".

Not only are there a large number of them, but their capabilities are also terrifying: ultra-long-distance tracking and eavesdropping, automatic target tracking, self-destruction, wireless storage and transmission of real-time images and data...

With the matching smart glasses and headphones, it can complete most of the important tasks of a "top agent".

Makino believes that if used properly, the true level of this item may far exceed S-level.

……

That night, in a izakaya in Yūka-cho 4-chome.

Makino reunited with Date Kou and his friends after a long time, but Morobushi Keimitsu and Furuya Rei were still not there.

After entering the room, Date Kou went straight up to Kenji Hagiwara and locked his neck, blaming him: "Hagiwara! We agreed to keep in touch regularly, but you disappeared for such a long time!"

"I'm not those two guys. I just went back to the police academy for retraining. How can I say I disappeared? It's just that I've been a bit busy lately..." Kenji Hagiwara struggled with a wry smile.

At this moment, Matsuda Jinpei reached out and picked up the edamame on the plate, narrowed his eyes and said, "Tsk, this guy met a policewoman in the training class, and the two of them are getting along very well recently. When I went out shopping last time, I ran into them. The policewoman affectionately called him 'Kenji'~"

Hearing this, Date Kou subconsciously loosened his arms, and Hagiwara Kenji immediately escaped and ran to Matsuda Jinpei, his face slightly red: "Jinpei! You clearly promised to keep it a secret for me for the time being!!"

Jinpei Matsuda glanced at Kenji Hagiwara with disdain, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip without any concern.

Before Hagiwara Kenji could speak again, Makino and Date Kou walked up to him with smiles on their faces.

"Oh? So you didn't contact us because you found a girlfriend~"

"I didn't expect that a sentimental guy like you would actually be able to sincerely date someone~"

After hearing Makino and the other's chuckles, Hagiwara Kenji scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I wanted to introduce her to you after we officially started dating, but I didn't expect Jinpei to say it directly. Her name is Keiko, and she's a police officer at the Beika Police Station..."

Under the teasing gazes of Makino and the others, Kenji Hagiwara told them how he met his girlfriend.

After listening, Ida Ko silently patted Hagiwara Kenji on the shoulder, bit a toothpick with a smile on his face, and gave a thumbs up.

"Now that you have someone you love, don't wait as long as I did!"

Having said that, Yi Dahang closed his eyes, shook his head in self-mockery, and sighed softly.

He had been engaged to his girlfriend a long time ago, but because he had no time to hold a wedding or go on a honeymoon, it had been delayed until now.

He originally planned to hold a formal wedding with his girlfriend after joining the Metropolitan Police Department, but he did not expect that there would be more and more cases in Tokyo in the past two years.

Let alone a honeymoon, he hardly ever had a full weekend off.

To put it simply, there is no guarantee of rest on Saturday, but there is no guarantee of rest on Sunday.

He now understood that among all the departments in the Metropolitan Police Department, the Investigation Division 1 was the busiest. Makino and the others looked at the dejected Date Kou and shook their heads silently.

The next second, Makino sat back in his seat, picked up his wine glass, and asked casually, "Squad leader, do you know anything about the Investigation Section 3? It seems that the Investigation Section 3 is always short of people."

"Investigation Section 3?" Ida Hang looked at Makino in confusion and frowned.

The main duties of the three search sections are: burglary, bag snatching, pickpocketing and bicycle theft.

But generally speaking, such small cases are usually handled by local police stations and subordinate police booths.

Only when there are medium or large theft cases that they are unable to handle will the Third Investigation Section be called in to take action.

Therefore, it can be said that in terms of workload and work difficulty, Search Class 3 is not on the same level as Search Classes 1 and 2.

Thinking of this, Yida Hang seemed to have thought of something and looked at Makino in surprise: "You mean..."

Makino took a sip of the wine in his glass and chuckled, "When you get married, don't forget to send us an invitation~"

Upon hearing this, Yi Dahang immediately sat down opposite Makino, raised the wine glass in his hand, toasted Makino with an excited expression, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"must!"

Although Makino didn't say it explicitly, he naturally understood what Makino meant.

Kenji Hagiwara, who was standing by, glanced at the two people clinking glasses and blinked.

The next second, Hagiwara Kenji also sat down and chuckled, "I really regret it. I should have joined the Criminal Division earlier! But Ryuichi, is it really okay for you to reveal this news so 'bluntly'?"

"News? Did I say anything?" Makino chuckled and shook his head.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was standing by, seemed to have not yet reacted. He looked at Makino and the other two in confusion and frowned, "What are you talking about? What's the news?"

Hearing this, Muye and the others smiled at each other.

Hagiwara Kenji even patted Matsuda Jinpei on the shoulder and joked, "Jinpei, you don't seem to have grown much in all these years~"

"Asshole! What did you say?!" Matsuda Jinpei grabbed Hagiwara Kenji by the collar and butted his head against him.

"Hahaha! You can play around, but you two have to keep your noise down and not disturb other guests~" Yi Dahang smiled and took a sip of wine.

Makino looked at the fighting Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, picked up the sake bottle beside him and filled himself a glass of warm sake.

What Hagiwara Kenji said just now was right. If he and Matsuda Jinpei were not in the Security Department, he would naturally be able to find a way to "save" them.

But to be honest, Ida Hang and the others didn't really need to fish at all.

Even Jinpei Matsuda, who had the slowest promotion, had already reached the threshold of being an inspector general.

If it weren't for his overly arrogant and unruly personality, which often silenced his superiors in meetings, he would have been promoted to police lieutenant long ago.

Compared with ordinary non-professional police officers such as Takagi and Chiba, their promotion speed can be described as extremely fast.

After three rounds of drinking, Yidahang looked at Makino with worry in his eyes: "Makino...how are they doing now?"

Since the last time they saw Zhu Fu Jingguang in disguise, they have not seen these two people again, nor have they received any contact from them.

After hearing what Date Kou said, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei immediately looked at Makino, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

Makino glanced at them and nodded, "Don't worry, they are still alive and well, especially the guy who is on a long vacation. He recently accepted an apprentice and is living a very happy life~"

Hearing what Makino said, Ida Kou and the other two smiled again.

However, they did not ask any more questions and simply skipped the topic.

……

After the party, Makino waved goodbye to Date Kou and the other two.

After Ida Hang and the other two left, Makino turned and walked into a small alley nearby. Without even turning his head, he asked, "Since you're all here, why don't you meet the squad leader and the others? What's the point of just looking at their backs?"

——"As expected, you found out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fūya Ling sighed and slowly walked in front of Makino: "I'd better not meet them now, otherwise..."

"What else? Why do you always appear in front of me? Aren't you afraid that I will be in danger?" Makino narrowed his eyes.

Fūya Rei looked at Makino in front of him and scratched his face with his fingers embarrassedly: "Uh..."

Makino looked at Furugaya Rei helplessly, chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Well, since you came here on purpose, that means you have some new news, right?"

"Haha, you are worthy of me. You have guessed it~" Furiya Ling laughed awkwardly twice, then changed his expression to serious, "There are two things. One is the news about the FBI. They have arrived in Tokyo. Although their purpose is not certain, the organization and the public security have already known about it."

"Yeah, I know. I just met Akai Shuichi some time ago. They came here to investigate the organization." Makino nodded.

Fūya Rei was shocked and said, "What?! You have already met them? As 'Makino Ryuichi' or..."

"It's a long story, but they seemed to have learned from some channel that Rum was coming to Tokyo." Makino shook his head.

Hearing this, Furuya Ling frowned and said, "The news of Rum's coming to Tokyo is only known to some high-ranking officials abroad and official members of Tokyo. Since the FBI has sent so many people here with great fanfare, it means that there are high-level FBI spies in the organization."

Makino looked at Furukaya Rei helplessly.

No need to guess?

The winery had long been infiltrated by undercover agents from countless intelligence organizations and had become a sieve.

Just what he knows, there are the Public Security Bureau, FBI, CIA, MI6, KGB, BND, CSIS...

It can be said that, except for real wine, you can find almost any intelligence organization of various countries that you know or don’t know in the organization.

Speaking of which, what is the concept of undercover?

If there are more undercover agents in the winery than actual members of the organization, then... who are the undercover agents?

Gin and BOSS?

Fūya Rei didn't notice the strange expression on Makino's face, but continued to look down and think about something.

Seeing that Furuya Rei had already entered the thinking mode, Makino interrupted and said, "Didn't you just say there were two things? What is the other thing?"

"Ah? Oh yes! Another thing is that I was successful in the application!" Furiya Rei looked at Makino with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Makino narrowed his eyes and said, "The job you're applying for, isn't it 'that' coffee shop..."

"That's right!" Furiya Rei nodded proudly.

Makino: "..."
