Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 77: The Persistent Old Deng
The Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters is very close to Osaka Castle.

Not long after, Makino and others arrived at the foot of Osaka Castle.

Since it is neither a holiday nor a weekend, there are not many tourists here, and everyone got on the cruise ship without queuing.

After getting off the boat, while Inspector Otaki and his subordinates were driving, Officer Sato asked the question in his mind: "Officer, those guys who ambushed the police...could they be the Miyoshikai that Inspector Otaki mentioned earlier?"

Although the Metropolitan Police Department often deals with the Yakuza, there have been almost no violent conflicts between the two sides.

Compared with the Yakuza organizations in Osaka, those in Tokyo are relatively low-key and rarely come into conflict with the police.

Judging from the previous behavior of Chief Hattori and Superintendent Toyama, the Osaka Prefectural Police seemed to have had a large-scale conflict with the local yakuza organization.

However, out of politeness, they didn't dare to ask directly if the other party didn't say it.

Because this involves the "face" of the Osaka Prefectural Police.

As police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, they cannot interfere without permission.

"Maybe. Although I've heard that the Osaka Prefectural Police have often clashed with local yakuza organizations in the past two years, I didn't expect the conflicts to be so intense." Makino nodded.

Hasegawa, Shiratori and the others also nodded silently, their brows full of curiosity.

Generally speaking, the yakuza (boss) and the second-in-command (second-in-command) have good relations with the local police. Even if there are frictions, they are usually well-controlled and will not cause a big fuss.

This kind of direct armed conflict, or even the Yakuza organizations taking the initiative to attack the police, is extremely rare.

In the evening, after visiting Tsutenkaku, Makino and others prepared to try the Okonomiyaki restaurant that Inspector Otaki highly recommended.

At this moment, Inspector Otaki received a call from Chief Hattori Heizo.

Hattori Heizo wanted to invite Makino and others to his home.

After hanging up the phone, without waiting for Makino to speak, Inspector Hasegawa looked at Inspector Otaki and said, "Inspector Otaki, we won't go there. But I'm very interested in the Okonomiyaki restaurant you mentioned. Could you take us there?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Makino and bowed slightly: "Sorry! Inspector Makino."

Hearing this, Shiratori and the others on the side spoke up to express their agreement, and even Officer Takagi nodded repeatedly.

At this point, everyone knows the true intentions of Chief Hattori Heizo.

Inspector Otaki folded his arms, closed his eyes and nodded.

He fully understood the thoughts of Hasegawa and others.

Everyone can see that the person Chief Hattori really wants to invite is Inspector Makino.

And to be honest, although the minister looks very gentle on the outside, he is actually very stern and terrifying on the inside...

Even just standing next to him, one could feel an inexplicable pressure.

Not to mention Hasegawa and others who came from Tokyo, even he himself couldn't imagine what it would be like to have dinner at the same table with Director Hattori.

Therefore, he almost raised his hands and feet on the spot to express his agreement with the decision of Hasegawa and others.

……

Half an hour later, Makino was driven to Hattori Heizo's residence by Inspector Otaki's subordinates.

Like Minister Odagiri, the Hattori family also built their residence in traditional Japanese style.

The main body of the house is a classic hip-and-gable roof building. In addition to the classic courtyard pond, there is also a row of cherry trees in the courtyard, which looks both majestic and solemn and elegant.

As soon as Makino entered the door, he saw a beautiful woman in a kimono.

"You are Inspector Makino, right? Heizo has mentioned you a lot recently~ Excuse me, my name is Shizuka Hattori, and I am Heizo Hattori's wife." Shizuka Hattori covered her mouth and chuckled. "Hello, Mrs. Hattori~" Makino also smiled and nodded.

"Please come in and try my cooking tonight~" Hattori Shizuka bowed slightly.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Makino: "I was wondering why you insisted on asking me to come back early for dinner. It turns out that you have guests."

After hearing the voice, Hattori Shizuka was about to introduce herself to Makino when she saw Hattori Heiji walk directly to Makino's side and said in surprise: "It turns out to be Inspector Makino, long time no see!"

"Oh? Inspector Makino, do you know Heiji?" Hattori Shizuka looked at Makino curiously.

"Yes, we met once before in Tokyo." Makino nodded.

The next second, Hattori Heiji pulled Makino into the house and said, "Inspector Makino, please come in. You don't know, my mom's cooking is really delicious! She is also known as the 'Dinner King'~"

Seeing that her son was so "friendly" to Inspector Makino, Hattori Shizuka couldn't help but feel curious.

Perhaps because of his father, Hattori Heiji has a very subtle attitude towards the police.

On the one hand, he respects the police profession from the bottom of his heart.

On the other hand, perhaps because of Hattori Heizo, he has been accustomed to seeing various senior police officers since he was a child, which led to him not having the so-called awe and respect for ordinary police officers.

But this is not surprising. After all, Hattori Heiji's reasoning ability is indeed outstanding, coupled with his father's status... Osaka police officers will involuntarily greet Hattori Heiji with a smile when facing him.

Therefore, Hattori Shizuka was somewhat surprised to see that her son actually had some respect for Inspector Makino.

Not long after, Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro returned home.

Seeing that only Makino and Heiji were in the living room, Toyama Ginjiro laughed twice: "Look, Heiji, am I right? Not to mention outsiders, even 'our own people' don't dare to eat with you~"

Hattori Heizang: "..."

Makino and Hattori Heiji, who were sitting on the sofa, also heard the noise at the door and stood up to greet them.

At this moment, Hattori Heizo suddenly said, "It seems that there is still some time before dinner. How about a simple competition with me?"

Makino: "?"

What do you mean?
Lao Deng, you must compete with me today, right?
Hattori Heiji looked at Hattori Heizo with a puzzled look and said, "Ah? Dad, what are you going to compete with Inspector Makino for?"

"If you are interested, come with us." Hattori Heizo narrowed his eyes and looked at Hattori Heiji.

After saying that, Hattori Heizo walked up and patted Makino on the shoulder, then turned around and led the way for Makino.

After seeing the direction Hattori Heizo was heading, Hattori Heiji was stunned and thought to himself, "This direction is... a kendo field? Could it be that Dad is going to compete with Makino in kendo?"

Soon after, everyone arrived at the kendo field on the northernmost part of the first floor of the mansion.

It is called a kendo field, but it is actually just a slightly smaller kendo room.

After seeing this kendo room, Makino couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

As expected of a family that loves kendo, they even built a kendo room at home.

The three members of this family seem to be very "obsessed" with kendo. No wonder after learning about his kendo level, Hattori Heizo always wanted to fight with him.

After entering the kendo room, Hattori Heizo didn't say much.

He simply picked up two bamboo swords and threw one of them to Makino.
