Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 15 Three Major Problems
Upon hearing that there was indeed a "difficult matter" in the police station, Shiraishi immediately became alert.

Seeing Shiraishi's expression of "wanting to hear more", Ebihara did not keep him in suspense and explained directly: "The first thing... is the safety of the official vehicles in the agency!"

When Ebihara said this, his expression became very serious.

When Bai Shi heard this, he immediately took it to heart.

Are there still safety issues with police cars?

Could it be...

Has the police car of the Beihua Police Station been bombed?
Hiss...it's worthy of being called Beika Town!
Shiraishi had been a policeman for six years, and his car had been bombed twice. Fortunately, he had a high [perception] and discovered it in time, and his [spirit] was also strong and his reaction was very fast, so he calmly saved himself immediately...

Now the person is fine!

However, when Bai Shi heard about this, he was still very surprised!

When a bomb is planted on you, what level of case is that?

When Shiraishi was transferred to the "Group Countermeasures Department", the "Touto Gang Exclusion Ordinance" had just been introduced. At that time, the "Group Countermeasures Section" had just been changed to the "Group Countermeasures Department", and the management of violent organizations had become stricter. Odagiri Toshiro was optimistic about Shiraishi and asked him to go with him...

It can be said that Shiraishi’s main career is to deal a heavy blow to these violent organizations!

Especially in the first two years, there were many conflicts, and these organizations basically had higher-level figures behind them. Shiraishi was a more radical type, and often pushed his targets to desperate measures...

"Could it be...which group did it?" Bai Shi's face was gloomy at this time.

Now that the "Violent Dismissal Ordinance" has been issued for several years, the size of major violent organizations has been reduced, and few young people have joined. Shiraishi thought that in a few years, the so-called violent organizations would only be some old men stabbing each other's urine bags...

I didn’t expect that there would be such a fighting faction in Little Xiaomihua Town!

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi became excited.

After all... he is very professional in dealing with violent organizations!
but……

"Group? No, no...it's our own problem." Ebihara immediately shook his head.

"Ah?" Shiraishi was stunned when he heard that - is there so much discord inside the police station?

"Nowadays, those little brats... especially those troublesome guys in the Criminal Division, always drive carelessly! Fines and repair costs are secondary, the main thing is... you are young, you know, this is the... information age! When a government car violates the law, there will definitely be people who take pictures and post them online...

"Not only do I have to go to the TV station frequently to record apology videos, but I also get scolded by the department heads during the monthly directors' meetings. My old face...tsk tsk." Ebihara said with some resentment.

Shiraishi:……

So the big problem you mentioned is that there are too many violations of traffic rules by the official vehicles in the agency?

Well, coincidentally, another patrol car hit someone this morning...

Shiraishi thought about it and decided not to tell Ebihara the bad news for the time being.

"That, that's really not right... I wonder what the other two are..." Bai Shi continued to ask with a stiff face.

This was very unfamiliar to Shiraishi. After all, a month ago, he was beating up more than a hundred thugs alone. Now, you asked him to manage the violation rate of official vehicles in the agency... This was a bit beyond his scope!
We can only look forward to two other things... "And... well, Officer Arimu passed away last month." Ebihara was also a little depressed at this time.

"Ah? Did he...die in the line of duty?" Shiraishi was stunned. Although he was "dead", he was still called "officer", which meant he was obviously a working officer. But...his last name was weird? Just "犬"?
However, if a police officer dies on duty and the case involved has not been solved, then this is indeed a big problem!
"No, no, no, it's a normal death. After all, the lifespan of a canine police officer is generally much lower than that of its peers..." Ebihara said quickly.

Shiraishi:? ? ?
"Oh, Director Shiraishi may not know that we are used to calling police dogs dog police officers...hahaha, after all, they are all picky guys." Ebihara noticed that Shiraishi had a strange expression on his face, so he explained.

Shiraishi:……

Indeed, Shiraishi is relatively unfamiliar with this.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department also has a special police dog unit under the Second Security Section of the Security Department, Shiraishi has never cooperated with the police dog unit!

On the Group Countermeasures side, the General Affairs Section is mainly responsible for narcotics countermeasures, and they often need the assistance of the police dog unit.

As for the department responsible for "direct confrontation" like Section 3, police dogs are rarely needed, especially in recent years, even if they are occasionally needed to search for dangerous goods... Shiraishi's nose is more useful than a police dog!

"We originally had four police dogs in our station. They were all family members. The father passed away last month, and now the mother, daughter, and son are all in low spirits... ahem, of course, this can be made up for with time, and it doesn't affect work now." Ebihara stopped talking dejectedly when he saw that Shiraishi was speechless.

Well, there's no point in delaying work. Shiraishi really has no way to deal with the situation where the dog police officer is depressed because of the death of a family member!
It’s impossible for this director to go and smell it himself, right?
"One last thing... um..." Ebihara said at this time and glanced at Murasakibara.

Murasakibara stood up at this moment, looking apologetic: "It's my fault!"

"Hmm?" Shiraishi looked at Murasakibara in confusion - hoping that the last thing was not that Deputy Director Murasakibara was depressed because of hair loss.

"In recent years, the Beika Police Station has always ranked last among all the police stations under the Metropolitan Police Department in the arrest competitions and shooting competitions... Especially in the arrest skills competition, even those small police stations are ranked ahead of us... It's my problem!" Murasakibara was indeed very guilty.

After all, Murasakibara is in charge of physical fitness and fighting skills training.

However, when Shiraishi heard this, he became even more confused - Murasakibara seemed to be very suitable for this!
Moreover, a large police station with more than 500 people can't even compare to those small police stations with dozens of people?
In terms of base numbers, it would be easier for the Beika Police Station to select capable people, right?
"Actually, Deputy Director Murasakibara cannot be blamed for this matter." Ebihara then made an excuse for him.

Then Ebihara explained: "I don't know what the situation is at the group confrontation department now... But in our local police station, the police officers are basically very rough when confronting criminals with force.

"The criminal police are also very strong and can achieve miracles, but this arrest competition is not a competition, but a test of the skills of using the police equipment used for arrests. This is especially true for shooting. I have forgotten when I was last allowed to use firearms. They are not used at all in normal times. Many criminal police have only fired guns at the shooting range...

"The quality of the results in this area actually depends mainly on the training time. The more you train, the better the results will be. Besides, the mobile team members can't participate, so it's not that Deputy Director Murasakibara has a problem with the training, but... our Beihua Department is too busy!
“Because there are only 32 residents in the area, it seems that our police station has too many people, and that we have so many people because of the flow of people… But in fact, there are not enough police officers at all!
"Based on the flow of people, we should have 100 to 200 more people, but because there are too few residents in the area, we have not been able to increase the number of officers. This has led to our police officers often having to work overtime, especially patrol officers and criminal police...

"Although we arrange for frontline police officers to undergo grappling techniques and police equipment use training once a week, and also require shooting training time, but... even if this has encroached on the police officers' limited rest time, it is still difficult to ensure the efficiency of the training. We can't ask them to do high-intensity training right after they just finished their night shift, right?"

Ebihara said this with a helpless look on his face - essentially, this was caused by a shortage of manpower!
The problem is that "adding people" is not something the police station can decide on its own...

"Director Shiraishi, do you have any ideas?" Ebihara asked Shiraishi at this time.

Bai Shi was silent for a while and then said, "So... can the Director himself participate in this competition?"

Ebihara:......

"This is mainly to inspect the training situation of the police station. If the chief attends, I'm afraid..." Ebihara said with a wry smile - there is no explicit rule, but it would not be a honor for you to attend in person!
"Then I have no idea." Bai Shi shrugged.
