Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 73 Roll Call
"Manager Makino, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..." Officer Sato was the first to stand up and speak.

Makino shook his head and said, "In such a critical moment, your first thought was to protect Xiaolan behind you... Sato, you are an excellent police officer! Rather than thanking me, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Investigation Division."

Officer Sato lowered her head embarrassedly, but then a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

In just two days, her former partners, Officer Narasawa and Officer Shiba, were killed in the line of duty.

If it weren't for Inspector Makino stopping the criminal in time, I'm afraid she would be...

Death is nothing new to criminal police.

That's how her father left her on that rainy night 18 years ago, leaving her with only a pair of handcuffs and painful memories deep in her heart.

"Is this the fate of a detective?" Thinking of this, Officer Sato muttered to himself subconsciously.

After seeing Officer Sato's expression, Makino roughly guessed what she was thinking and shook his head gently: "Sato, after this case is over, take a good rest for two days to change your mood. I'll approve a leave for you."

"No need for administrator, I..." Officer Sato waved his hands quickly.

Makino raised his hand and said, "It's settled. Since you and Officer Narasawa started investigating last year's case, you haven't had a break for a long time, right? Just consider it as making up for your day off."

After a moment of silence, Officer Sato nodded seriously: "I understand, thank you!"

After saying this, Officer Sato said goodbye to Makino and turned away.

It was not until Officer Sato left that Officer Shiratori lowered his head and spoke: "I'm sorry! It's all because I revealed the information to Kyosuke Fudo during the psychological consultation, so Officer Shiba and Officer Sato..."

Looking at the white bird in front of him, Makino frowned.

Just now in the meeting, Officer Shiratori looked very bad, and it was obvious that he regretted revealing the contents of the investigation to Kyosuke Fudo.

Even if he did not reveal the details of the case to Kyosuke Fudo, Kyosuke Fudo would still take action to stop Officer Narasawa and others from continuing their investigation.

But for Officer Shiratori, who is always proud of himself, this is a huge mistake that cannot be ignored.

To be honest, Makino felt that Shiratori was not suitable to be a police officer, at least not suitable for a frontline post like the First Investigation Division.

After dealing with hundreds of cases a year, other police officers have long since developed "hearts of steel and brains of iron".

As soon as a case is closed, the brain's protective mechanism will be forced to activate, sealing up the relevant details of the case and those not-so-pleasant memories on the spot.

As for Officer Shiratori, perhaps due to his background or his own personality, his character is a little too "delicate", which can be seen from the fact that he has been looking for a psychologist.

Since he was in the professional group and was the eldest son of the Shiratori family, he didn't need to fight in the "first-line of the first-line" such as the Third Department of Investigation Section 1.

Judging from his personality and background, he is actually more suitable for the kind of clerical work that requires "sitting in an office".

After thinking for a while, Makino patted Shiratori on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. Although you did make a mistake, who would have thought that your psychologist is actually a murderer with ulterior motives?"

"Inspector...don't worry, I won't go to a psychiatrist again!" After a moment's silence, Officer Shiratori answered firmly.

"No, you should see a psychologist more often. It's normal to relax a little, but it's not good to drive yourself crazy." Makino sighed lightly.

Officer Shiratori: “…”

……

A few days later, at the Office of the Director of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.

After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Makino looked at Minister Odagiri in confusion and asked, "Is this a proposal from Superintendent Hattori, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters?"

Minister Odagiri nodded. "That's right, and he specifically mentioned you, hoping you'd be on the list. Anyway, there's no harm, so the higher-ups have agreed. I've met him a few times, he's a very capable person, and dealing with him might be good for you."

Hearing this, Makino frowned. Hattori Heizo specifically asked to see him?

Not long ago, Superintendent Hakuba received a contact from the Chief of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, Hattori Heizo, who said that he wanted to hold a "learning exchange meeting."

Simply put, the Metropolitan Police Department will send several police officers to Osaka for a visit, exchange and study, and to conduct a competition in various skills.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a beneficial and harmless proposal, so it was approved on the spot by the White Horse Police Chief.

Hattori Heizo's only request was that among the police officers sent by the Metropolitan Police Department, it would be best if there was Inspector Makino.

Seeing that Makino didn't speak, Minister Odagiri chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous. This kind of exchange meeting has been held before. Just think of it as a visit to Osaka. As for the competition... I think it will be no problem for you at all.

Besides, it's just a communication, winning or losing doesn't matter. Since the White Horse Superintendent has given you full authority over this matter, you should take it.

You decide on the candidates, and you can pick anyone from the Criminal Division. If you have nothing else to do, go ahead and select the candidates. We will set off the day after tomorrow!"

After Makino left, Minister Odagiri picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

No matter what, the fact that he was personally selected by Osaka's General Hattori Heizo has proved Makino's uniqueness.

Although I don't know what Hattori Heizo is planning, it seems that this matter will only benefit Makino and not harm him.

The so-called achievements are not just solving cases.

Isn't it also an achievement that can be made public if a team is led to participate in such an exchange meeting?
When Makino returns this time, he might be promoted to Superintendent of Police.

This kid is almost on the same level as me?

Thinking of this, Minister Odagiri couldn't help but raise a proud smile at the corner of his mouth.

……

After returning to the office, Makino immediately thought about who to communicate with.

Since there is a "skills competition" session, he has to pick at least two people with good skills to participate.

Although Minister Odagiri said that winning or losing doesn't matter, since they are representing the Metropolitan Police Department, the police officers who go there for exchanges are equivalent to the "face" of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Besides, the people he chooses will naturally be branded with his stamp.

In the eyes of others, these people will be his people in the future, and the possibility of promotion will increase.

After thinking for a while, Makino wrote down a few names on the paper.

——"Hiroshi Date, Miwako Sato, Wataru Takagi, Rensaburo Shiratori, Gen Hasegawa."

Except for Hasegawa Gen, the others are old acquaintances in the Investigation Division.

Hasegawa Genya is a member of the "Gold Watch Group" and is currently serving as a police inspector in the Second Investigation Section, Sixth Department.

He is a member of Makino's faction and is also Makino's "direct junior".

The first time Makino met Hasegawa Gen was in Professor Tamura's office at the university.

Four years ago, when he went to the school to find a professor, he met Hasegawa Gen in his office.

At that time, Professor Tamura enthusiastically introduced this junior to Makino.
