Chapter 39 Two Years Later

Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Division, Office of the Director.

Looking at Makino, who was becoming more and more elegant and sophisticated, Odagiri Toshio's eyes could not help but flash with deep expectations.

A few seconds later, Chief Odagiri said, "It just so happens that Superintendent Samezaki is about to retire early. Since you don't want to leave the front line for the time being, then stay in the Investigation Section as a management officer."

Makino nodded and said, "I think Inspector Samezaki wants to concentrate on investigating the case personally, right?"

"That's right. He lost his daughter completely in the bank robbery more than ten years ago, and he has always wanted to catch the criminal himself..." Minister Odagiri recalled.

If it weren't for this reason, he might not have approved Inspector Samezaki's early retirement.

Having been a detective for so many years, Inspector Samezaki has extremely rich experience and knowledge.

Even if he is just commanding from the rear, he can still play a significant role.

Thinking of this, Minister Odagiri shook his head and looked at Makino again: "I heard that Superintendent Ishida of the National Police Agency came to see you a few days ago?"

"Well, he asked me if I wanted to work in the Security Planning Division under the Security Bureau." Makino chuckled.

Hearing this, Minister Odagiri frowned and did not continue the topic.

He naturally knew that the Security Planning Section of the Security Bureau was actually another name for the "Public Security Police."

However, since Makino has already taken over the position of "Investigation Division 1 Manager", it means that he has rejected Inspector Shimasa Ishida's invitation.

Humph… I didn’t expect those guys would dare to put their hands on me so blatantly!
Minister Odagiri looked up at Makino and said calmly, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I already know about this matter."

"Yes." Makino turned and left the office.

Looking at Makino's back, Minister Odagiri's eyes showed a hint of anger.

It was true that Makino's promotion was fast, but no one in the entire investigation department was dissatisfied with his performance.

All the cases he handles are resolved quickly in a very short time.

Since he came to the Investigation Division, the efficiency of solving cases has increased several times.

Even the media that have always liked to ridicule the Metropolitan Police Department regard Makino as the hope for the future of the department, and even gave him the title of "Nergigante of the Metropolitan Police Department."

And now, those guys from the Security Bureau actually want Makino to participate in their "dangerous and shameful" activities? !

……

Search one department and three departments.

Seeing Makino coming back, Inspector Megure and a group of police officers immediately surrounded him.

After three years of getting along, Makino's abilities and character have already impressed everyone.

"Makino, how is it?"

Inspector Megure looked at Makino nervously, for he was afraid that Makino would be transferred out of the First Investigation Division after his promotion.

If that happens, it will be a huge loss not only for him... but also for the Investigation Division!!

Seeing Inspector Megure's expectant eyes, Makino chuckled and said, "I will take over from Inspector Samezaki as the management officer of the First Investigation Division."

--"oh!!!"

For a moment, excited roars were heard from the office.

Inspector Megure even cried with joy and excitement, which stunned Makino.

Isn't this too exaggerated? !

If you don't know, you might think there's something hidden between us...

In addition to Makino, the three new police officers who were transferred to the Third Department of Investigation Section 1 today were also dumbfounded.

The three new police officers are none other than Shiratori Jinsaburo, Chiba Kazunobu, and Sato Miwako.

"Officer Shiratori, do you know what this is?"

"Uh……"

Miwako Sato looked at Makino's face and narrowed her eyes in confusion.

She had seen Officer Makino in newspapers and on the news before, and for some reason, she always had a familiar feeling about him.

Now that she saw the real person, the memory switch in her mind loosened a little. "Wait? Wasn't he the one at the entrance of the police academy that year..."

The next moment, Makino stopped everyone and looked at Sato and the other two standing aside with a smile: "Okay, there are new people to watch! I'll treat you tonight, let's welcome the new colleagues together!"

——“Oh hoo!!!”

Makino: "..."

Late that night.

After returning home, Makino turned on his phone and saw two unread messages.

The first text message was from Yi Dahang.

Two months ago, Squad Leader Ida was transferred to the Third Department of Investigation Section 1.

However, due to the recent extreme shortage of staff in the Second Department of Investigation Section 1, he was temporarily loaned out.

In the text message, squad leader Ida said that he would be transferred back to the third department next week.

The second text message was from his university professor Tamura.

The Suzuki Group is going to hold a dinner party soon, and their company has been invited.

Professor Tamura is currently conducting teaching and research at a foreign university and cannot return to China in the near future.

The professor told Makino to be there on time on behalf of the company and not to neglect the Suzuki Group.

He and Professor Tamura have received countless similar banquet invitations over the years.

But they basically declined such invitations.

Neither Makino nor Professor Tamura likes to attend such boring gatherings where people appear friendly on the surface but actually have different thoughts.

Because he knew each other's personalities, Professor Tamura never advised Makino to attend such gatherings.

But this time, Professor Tamura not only sent a message to invite Makino to attend the party, but also emphasized that "the Suzuki Group must not be neglected."

It can be seen how powerful the Suzuki Group is in Professor Tamura's mind...

……

A few days later, at a luxury hotel owned by Suzuki.

Makino, wearing a custom-made suit, handed the car keys to the waiter at the door of the hotel and walked into the hotel calmly.

Inside the magnificent hotel, a group of gorgeously dressed guests were smiling and toasting each other.

Makino walked to the buffet table and started eating by himself.

I have to say, as expected of a dinner hosted by the Suzuki Foundation, the food tasted pretty good.

After we finish eating, I guess it will be time for President Suzuki and the others to come out.

At that time, he will go up and say hello to Shiro Suzuki or Tomoko Suzuki on behalf of the company, and his mission will be completed.

At this moment, a slightly hesitant voice came from behind Makino: "Are you... Officer Makino?"

Makino put down the dessert in his hand and turned to look behind him.

A quiet woman in a light pink evening dress came into Makino's sight.

"Ms. Suzuki Ayako?"

"It's you! Mr. Makino, you can just call me Ayako~" Suzuki Ayako smiled brightly and walked quickly to Makino.

Before Makino could speak, Suzuki Ayako continued with a smile, "I didn't expect to see you here. I've often seen you on TV in the past two years. I've always wanted to see you again and express my gratitude to you in person!"

"You're welcome~ Didn't you also hide it for me at that time..."

Before Makino could finish his words, a little girl with short hair suddenly jumped out from behind Suzuki Ayako.

She stared at Makino carefully for a few seconds and then smiled: "Ah! I remember! This person and the one on my sister's mirror..."

Before the little girl could finish her words, Suzuki Ayako covered her mouth with her hand and her cheeks turned red instantly.

The next second, Suzuki Ayako looked at Makino hesitantly: "This, this is my sister Sonoko, she just... please don't mind what she just said..."
