Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 162 Retirement

After the interrogation, Miyase, who did not want to deny it in the first place, and Takada, who had collapsed, both gave detailed confessions, and the case became very clear at this point.

but……

Obviously, the top police officers do not want the truth to be revealed in such a bloody way.

After all, "the police officer killed an innocent passerby during routine interrogation", and even later "cooperated with the murderer to hide the crime", "forged evidence during the investigation", and finally "was killed by the deceased's fiancée in revenge"... This is really shameful!

Although there is no possibility of internal handling after the Beika Police Department directly arrested Takata as a criminal in the act, there is still hope that it can be compensated in public opinion.

Because of this, Uno grabbed a handful of his hair and stared at Shiraishi all night, fearing that he would do something wrong again.

but……

At around nine in the morning, just after the interrogation report on Miyase and Takada came out, Maruwei knocked on the door and came in hurriedly, saying, "Director, Counselor Uno...Manager Kujiki is meeting with the reporters."

Uno:? ? ?
Yuno jumped in shock and hurried out.

But it's too late.

At the entrance of the police station, Jing Qi was in front of a crowd of "guns and cannons"...

"The police were extremely negligent in the case three years ago, which directly led to the continuation of today's tragedy. As the person in charge of the case three years ago, I am really ashamed and extremely sorry!"

When Uno arrived, Jingqi was already doing a "private Marseille of red bean paste" in front of various cameras...

Uno was only focused on Shiraishi but forgot about Jingqi - Jingqi was the officer in charge of the "Takegami Case" three years ago, so after the truth was revealed, Jingqi, who was a straightforward person, chose to make the matter public.

"The Metropolitan Police Department will hold a press conference later regarding the details of this case." After apologizing, Jingqi turned around and went back to the police station.

Seeing Yuno's sullen face, Jingqi said shyly, "Counselor Yuno, I will submit my resignation later."

At this time, he still has 48 hours to retire...

However, rather than letting him "leave with guilt and taking his pension", Jing Qi would rather "admit his mistakes and leave empty-handed".

"Go and hand in your resignation letter to Director Bai Ma yourself!" Yuno no longer wanted to get involved in his affairs, so he let Director Bai Ma make the decision.

Since Jingqi had already gone to "privately race" in front of the media, the Metropolitan Police Department obviously could no longer remain silent, and specially organized a press conference to quibble... to explain the circumstances of the case!

I can’t complain about overtime work during this publicity class, after all, the police officers who were arrested were from the publicity class…

As the chief of the local police station where the [Special Investigation Headquarters] is located, Shiraishi of course also has to attend the meeting, but he is just attending - normally, he can just sit next to Uno.

but……

Just as Uno finished explaining the basic facts of the case, everyone in the seats stood up together and accompanied a "private horse race"...

Yayoi Aida of "Observer Weekly" took the initiative to ask: "Director Shiraishi, I heard that it was your agency that solved the case and arrested Officer Takada for attempted murder. What do you think about the Goto Hideki case?"

Aida also specifically emphasized that it was the "Goto Hideki case" and not the "current case."

"The Goto Hideki case was just the personal behavior of Tsumura and Takada, but it also essentially reflects the loopholes in the management of the Metropolitan Police Department. It was the negligence in the confidentiality of biometric information that gave internal criminals the chance to escape legal sanctions. In recent years, the Metropolitan Police Department has also strengthened its management in this area. I believe that similar tragedies can be avoided in the future."

Bai Shi said something half true and half false...

"Director Shiraishi, what is your attitude towards acts of revenge? Do you hope that the revenge nature of the case will be considered in the verdict?" Aida continued to ask sharply.

"Regarding this case, I can only say that I am a police officer. For any murderer, my attitude is 'hope that he can be arrested as soon as possible'. As for the attitude towards 'revenge'... after all, no relatives have been killed. I cannot answer this question now. As for how to judge, that is the business of the prosecutor's office and the court. I can only ensure that the evidence provided by the police is true and as detailed and effective as possible."

Shiraishi answered with ease and without any stickiness...

Uno, who was standing by, was worried that Shiraishi would say too much and make mistakes, so he quickly took over the topic - after all, in his opinion, Shiraishi's personality was completely uncontrollable, and he couldn't predict what he would say next!
……

After the press conference, it was already afternoon, and Shiraishi had been working for thirty hours straight...

At this time, the two suspects, Kumiko Miyase and Eiichi Takada, had also been taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department, and Shiraishi gave the police officers who had worked overtime overnight half a day off.

Shiraishi was also preparing to rest, but before resting, Shiraishi made one last work arrangement.

"Hello, it's me, Shiraishi." Shiraishi dialed the number of the 7-chome Koban.

"Yes! Director!" After receiving the call, Ohara immediately stood up and answered.

"Chief Ohara, second Ryotsu to the police station for the next two days. Yes... let him work overtime for the next two days, until tomorrow night. Don't leave work. I have already informed the police station's commander." Shiraishi emphasized.

That's right, Shiraishi plans to use Ryotsu's special ability to "protect" the safety around the police station! Tomorrow is November 11th, the last day of November, and also the last day of work for the old chief Ebihara. The police station will hold a farewell party.

In order to avoid some disappointing things, Shiraishi planned to have Ryotsu work overtime to "watch" here and activate the protection mode...

"Yes, it's until the farewell party tomorrow. The old director likes Ryotsu very much!" Shiraishi made up an excuse and said guiltily.

After all, every time Ryotsu got into trouble and Ohara couldn't handle it anymore, Director Ebihara would have to step in. In fact, Ebihara probably didn't want to see him in the last two days!
This is exactly why Shiraishi did not "abuse his power for personal gain" and transferred Ryotsu to the vicinity of "Yingmihua Apartment"...

Compared to dealing with the trouble he causes and receiving complaints from neighbors all day long, Shiraishi would rather someone die in the apartment occasionally!

Afterwards, Shiraishi specifically asked Maru about the arrangements for the "farewell party" to show his concern, and then he left work early and went home to rest...

Of course, because of being on "farewell party duty", Liang Jin was like a monkey who didn't attend the Peach Banquet and caused a lot of trouble, but that's a story for later.

In short, thanks to Shiraishi's ingenious arrangement, the "farewell party" on November 11th, although there were many problems due to the tossing of Ryotsu, but...

At least no one was killed!
For Beika Town, this was a quiet and peaceful "farewell party".

Although Ebihara was mad at Ryotsu for two days before he left and was upset, as the old director of the Beika Police Station, his farewell party didn't even result in a loss of life. What else could he ask for?

"Director Shiraishi, from now on the Beika Department will be completely handed over to you!" Ebihara's eyes also turned red.

He had been working in the Mihua Office for ten years and had developed feelings for the place.

"Don't worry, Director Ebihara. We are all here at the Beika Police Station and will continue to protect the safety of Beika residents!" Shiraishi said righteously.

"Well, I originally wanted to let you get more familiar with the business in these two and a half months, but unfortunately... the police station has been too busy recently." Ebihara said helplessly.

Starting from the "Gas Station Manager Murder Case" that Shiraishi had not yet dealt with when he took office, a total of seven murders occurred in Beika Town in just two and a half months...

This is not counting the murder of a waitress at a nightclub in Kamurocho next door, the murder of a congressman's secretary in Haido-cho next door, and the disguised suicide murder in the faraway Nishi Musashino City - although these did not happen in the Beika Police Station, Shiraishi helped with them.

Not to mention the case of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Shiraishi not only helped Soichi but also suffered the bombing. In the case of the unjust murder of the daughter of Chairman Ono, Shiraishi also helped promote the redress and re-investigated the suicide case of the Beihua Agency 18 years ago...

By this calculation, Shiraishi is really very busy, and the time he has to learn the director's business has been greatly reduced.

but……

"Don't worry, I'm already proficient in all the business!" Bai Shi said with great confidence, fearing that the old director would be worried.

Outside the police station, Mrs. Ebihara, with her grandson and flowers in hand, was ready to welcome the retired Ebihara...

From today on, Shiraishi Kuro has officially taken office as the "Director of the Mika Agency". From now on, there will only be one director of the Mika Agency, and all documents must be signed by Shiraishi Kuro himself!

……

After bidding farewell to Ebihara, Murasakihara went to the director's office...

dong dong dong-

"Come in... Deputy Director Murasakihara, please take a seat." Shiraishi finished signing the last stroke and looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Director, the General Office Security Department requests to intervene in the security of Councillor Itsuki's campaign banquet tomorrow." Of course, Ziyuan had something important to discuss with Shiraishi.

Murasakibara is also in charge of the security class...

The so-called security department is generally responsible for "security" - security at important occasions, maintaining order at large-scale events, emergency preparedness after disasters, and the safety of the families of important people...

These "guarding" tasks are all the work of the Security Department.

Of course, there is also a Security Department in the Metropolitan Police Department!

The duty of "security" is undoubtedly very important, and the larger the security department, the greater the blame it has to bear.

There was once a Prime Minister who was assassinated during a speech after leaving office. The then Commissioner of the National Police Agency was questioned about "having no experience working in the Security Department/Security Bureau" on his resume. Afterwards, a series of leaders of the security departments, including the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, resigned (yes, the one you are thinking of).

"Huh? The Security Department is going to intervene? What happened?" Bai Shi was confused when he heard this.

Generally speaking, the party held by Itsuki Ya to promote and celebrate his re-election as a member of parliament is handled by the Security Division of the local police station.

Especially since Beihua Police Station is a large police station, there is also a small mobile force under the Security Division, which should be enough...

"It seems that Councillor Itsuki's secretary reported to the Metropolitan Police Department that Councillor Itsuki had recently received death threats..."
