Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 284 Justice Sanctions
Chapter 51

"Officer Shiraishi, what does this mean? If you want to send these for inspection, you have come to the wrong place." Karma Hao had a dark face as he looked at the things Shiraishi had placed on his desk.

As for Shiraishi himself, at this time, he was sitting carefree on the guest sofa in Karma Hao's office.

"No, no, no, of course I know. These are not criminal cases and have nothing to do with Deputy Minister Hunter. And...this kind of case is not what our Beihua Agency is investigating. But since the suspect has confessed honestly, I can't just pretend I didn't see it and send it to the Prosecutor's Office.
"Our agency has not investigated and cannot investigate whether what Takigawa said is true or not, so it is certainly not formally submitted for inspection," Shiraishi said seriously.

As the second chief prosecutor of the Toudou Prosecutors' Office, Karma Go is in charge of the criminal department, which means he is in charge of the prosecution of all criminal offenses.

As for "corruption and abuse of power" and "collusion between officials and businessmen", these types of duty crimes are the responsibility of the Special Investigation Department and are supervised by the Third Chief Prosecutor.

"Then why did you send it to me?" The demon hunter's face turned even darker, and he had already understood Bai Shi's conspiracy.

"Am I not most familiar with Deputy Demon Hunter? Everyone knows that Deputy Demon Hunter of the East Capital Prosecutor's Office is an acquaintance of mine?" Shiraishi said casually.

Hearing Shiraishi's matter-of-fact tone, Demon Hunter was filled with rage...

Who doesn't know?

I do not know how!
Who is your acquaintance?

Just because you call me and harass me for no reason?

"Why don't I remember any interactions between us outside of work?" Demon Hunter said disdainfully.

"Of course there is no interaction outside of work. Everyone knows that Deputy Minister Hunter has only work in his mind, so there is no need for interaction outside of work." Shiraishi echoed at this time.

Demon Hunter sneered upon hearing this - it's good that you know it!

"But since Deputy Chief Karma only has work-related interactions, then... where has the Criminal Division handled the most cases recently? Aren't Deputy Chief Karma and I considered acquaintances?" Shiraishi said confidently.

Demon Hunter: ...

That’s actually true.

After all, the Criminal Division that Karma Hao cares about the most is specifically responsible for homicide cases. In this regard... the Beika Police Station not only leads the more than 100 police stations in Toudou, it is even almost catching up with a "small Metropolitan Police Department."

but……

"I saw it, you can go now!" It was obvious that Hunter Hao had no intention of making friends with Bai Shi.

Demon Hunter Hao also understood Bai Shi's intention...

It doesn't matter who this confession is given to. What matters is that it reaches the Procuratorate, and... many people will know that it has reached the Procuratorate!

It is indeed as Shiraishi said, the Beihua Police Station has no way of verifying the authenticity of Takigawa's confession, and from a legal point of view, it actually has little significance.

only……

This confession certainly cannot bring down certain people in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and it cannot even attract the attention of the Prosecutor's Office and the Special Investigation Department, but it does not mean that it is completely useless...

At least the person mentioned in this confession, even if he will not be "unable to sleep or eat", will at least have a few days of "loss of appetite".

In order to prevent the fire from really burning themselves, they must act as soon as possible and personally investigate and deal with the illegal and irregular behaviors of [Takigawa Food] in terms of "cooperative employer system" and "food safety".

Otherwise, their contemporary competitors will definitely not give up this excellent opportunity. Even if they cannot use it to shake them up now, it may become a "weak point" at some point in the future.

and……

Since that bastard Takigawa dared to reveal these things, they were already angry and naturally would have no burden to retaliate against him.

Especially when Bai Shi entered and left the prosecutor's office, he was quite ostentatious, so they had to hurry!

Shiraishi's figure is already "conspicuous", but he usually tries to keep a low profile, such as avoiding crowds, or walking next to things whose size is not easily compared... Although it is inevitable that people will be startled when they are seen, and he is not as good at "hiding" as Conan, but at least he can be more restrained, just like when he was dating Ayako at the aquarium, he did not always be the focus of everyone.

If Bai Shi didn't keep a low profile, he would be very "ostentatious". I'm afraid that the news that Bai Shi personally came to the Dongdu Procuratorate would soon spread all over the city, and the content of this confession could not be hidden from those who were interested...

Because Shuma Hao knew in his heart that this was Bai Shi's conspiracy, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and was even a little unhappy that he was using him as a tool.

Having achieved his goal, Shiraishi stood up at Karma's order to leave. However, just as Shiraishi was about to leave the Second Chief's office, Karma suddenly said, "The Beika Police Department is cooperating with the Osaka Prefectural Police to investigate a case recently, right? And it's a case from two years ago...

"Once you have identified the suspect, no matter what, do not send him to the Osaka Prefectural Police for inspection... I believe you don't want to bring shame to your Metropolitan Police Department."

At this time, Karma Gou still brought up the matter of the Osaka Prefectural Police. Although the Touto Public Prosecutors' Office has always thought highly of itself and regarded the Metropolitan Police Department as a running dog, but... if the case is solved and prosecuted first by Osaka, especially if the criminal is the same person, and finally it is reduced to the point of having to go to Osaka to ask for someone to prosecute, then the Touto Public Prosecutors' Office will also lose face.

"Don't worry, Vice Minister Hunter. We have a clue about the case and we won't let the real culprit go unpunished." Shiraishi said sincerely and then continued to leave.

Upon hearing this, Demon Hunter simply snorted coldly...

Of course, Shiraishi also understood what Karma Hao meant - if there is someone under suspicion, even if the documents are weak, they can be sent directly for inspection, and then he will find a way to prove the guilt!

Demon Hunter is a typical prosecutor who "will do whatever it takes to achieve a 100% success rate of prosecution". In his view, "innocent until proven guilty" is a loophole in the rule of law - if you have not committed a crime, why would you be "suspected"? If legitimate means cannot prove that you have committed a crime, it means that the scale of legitimate means is not legitimate and needs to be corrected secretly!
As for whether there will be innocent people who are wrongly accused by unfair means...

Even if there are, it is only a very small part. Compared with the scale of cunning criminals who will go unpunished if this is not done, it is not worth mentioning at all. These are all reasonable sacrifices.

Therefore, in the previous case of the murder of the Ono family's daughter, even though it was not Karma's own case, he was very reluctant to "overturn the verdict".

He also regarded police officers like Shiraishi who didn't know how to cooperate as heretics...

It was only because the Beika Police Department's crime-solving rate was indeed very high that Karma Gou did not get angry, otherwise it would not just be a matter of an unpleasant face. However, Shiraishi pretended not to hear Karma's hint.

……

Shiraishi originally wanted to not go back to the Beika Police Station and go directly "off work" from the Toudou Prosecutor's Office, but he received a call from the Police Affairs Division halfway through.

"Chief, after being told that he could leave, President Takigawa kept yelling in the police station and even said that he would file a complaint against us with the Metropolitan Police Department and the Ministry of Justice..." Maruwei's tone was a little embarrassed at this time.

After all, it should be the responsibility of the Police Division to resolve such complaints, but now they have to call the Commissioner.

But there was nothing Mado could do - the Criminal Division had already informed her that it was indeed a "wrong arrest", and since Takigawa obviously had some connections, Mado did not dare to handle it on her own.

"Don't pay attention to him. Let him go and file a complaint. If he makes trouble in the police station again, we'll have someone punch him in the face and then find a place for him to calm down." Shiraishi said directly.

Shiraishi is not worried about his so-called "complaint" at all, not to mention his background, which has just been dismantled. Even if he really has one, Shiraishi is not worried - after all, there is no [arrest warrant] at all, and even the [search warrant] has not been executed. He was just asked to cooperate voluntarily.

The so-called "wrongful arrest" is just the Criminal Investigation Department being modest. In fact, to be honest, no one was arrested at all!

When Yuanwei heard that Chief Shiraishi had such a tough attitude and was even asking police officers to act as "sandbags" to create an opportunity for detention, he was a little worried because the other party was the president of a company, had strong legal power, and had a backer in the Ministry of Justice. But since the chief had already said so, he still carried out the order!

Takigawa really didn't dare to take action. Seeing that the Mihua Bureau was fearless, he said a few harsh words and left.

only……

Before he could carry out his harsh words, Takigawa received a call from General Affairs Officer Hasegawa just after leaving the Beika Police Station.

"General Manager Hasegawa, you called just in time! Is the Legal Affairs Department still on duty? I'll go back right away and call them to a meeting, and then..." Takigawa still wanted to use legal means to make the Beihua Agency pay the price, but...

Hasegawa didn't care about these things at this time, and quickly interrupted him: "President, what's the matter between you and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries? I just received a call from the Ministry of Justice, saying that they want to have a talk with us about the [Cooperative Employer System].

"They also said that they would... communicate with the current rehabilitated employees so that we can be prepared. Also... someone from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries just arrived at the factory and said they would conduct a temporary inspection!"

“What? They…how could they…be the Beihua Agency…” Takigawa panicked upon hearing that.

Although Takigawa had considered that his confession might be used to make something of it, but... after careful consideration and repeated analysis, Takigawa still felt that the one who should be more afraid of this confession should be the Beihua Police Department. How could they dare to leak it?
But now, Tagichuan clearly understood that this must be a "report" from the Rice Flower Agency!
At this time, Takigawa wanted to call his "good friends" again, but the calls were all blocked. He could only walk back to the company in despair, and even forgot to drive...

It was just like the way Feng Ya looked when he was framed and walked back to the dormitory in a daze.

……

On the other side, Shiraishi, who was driving, was no longer worried about what happened in Takigawa, nor did he think that he could cause any more trouble. What was waiting for him was the just reckoning by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries!
As for those "accomplices" in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries who were more hidden and even benefited more, Shiraishi had no way to deal with them...

Although Shiraishi has "taken down" many powerful politicians and officials, there is a prerequisite - they have committed a crime, and it must be a criminal offense, preferably a violent crime!
For example, if Atsumori Ryuzou, as a powerful member of parliament, was just "corrupt and perverted the law" and sought improper benefits through political means, even if 10,000 people were harmed as a result, Shiraishi would not be able to do anything to him within the legal scope. After all, Shiraishi did not have the right to search in this regard, and even if he searched himself, it would not be recognized.

This type of crime is not as direct as murder. As long as decisive evidence is found, it is a solid case. For example, even if the video of Atsumi Liuzao's nonsense is posted on the Internet, he is not worried.

However, if Shiraishi caught him committing any violent or violent acts, he would be arrested immediately, and no one else could get him out...

As for the other person who fell to Shiraishi, Inukai Ichiro, it was more because "the matter got out of hand", so it couldn't be resolved, and...

Even now, he has only "resigned" and has not been prosecuted at all!
Bai Shi currently has no good solution for this problem and can only deal with what he can do first.

Seeing that it was still early, Shiraishi did not return to the police station, but turned the steering wheel and drove towards the direction of Todai...

Shiraishi plans to ask Akemi Takashima out to confirm her "condition".

This is not just about "caring" for the younger generation, it's more about...

For the "final link" of the two murder cases in "Toudou-Osaka"!
Although there is little evidence, Shiraishi has always felt that the "final link" is likely to be the fire case six years ago.

If the physical evidence of a fire case cannot be fixed at the time, it will be difficult to obtain results if it is investigated after a period of time...

However, according to the witnesses, Shiraishi already had a target - Akemi Takashima!
Her PTSD had made Shiraishi suspect that she might know something...

After hearing about the fire, Shiraishi went to find Otaki and checked the files of the fire in Osaka at that time - the cause was unknown and no one died but no injuries.

Tajima Akemi's uncle died, but... Tajima Akemi herself was not hurt in the fire.

My wife and son don’t have PTSD, so why does my niece have PTSD?
Although there is also the explanation that "Takashima Akemi is kind-hearted by nature", but...

Judging from the fact that Akemi Takashima had previously honestly told Shiraishi that she "once felt the same way as her uncle" and "felt like a dependent," deep down in her heart, she definitely did not have positive feelings towards her uncle.

Even from the testimonies of all parties at the time, Takashima Akemi had great respect for her uncle and they had a good relationship. Even Takashima Akemi herself admitted that she just thought too much and her uncle had never shown any dislike for her, but...

This kind of "instinctive thinking" is actually more essential. According to the Freudian school, it is the difference between the "id" and the "ego".

At the "self" level, Akemi Takashima may not have any ill feelings towards her uncle, but this is not the case at the "id" level, and PTSD often occurs at the "id" level!
In this case, Akemi Takashima's severe PTSD seems very suspicious.

The last time he saw her fall ill, Shiraishi was thinking about this, but the situation at that time was not suitable for Shiraishi to continue to stimulate her, so he asked her to go to Professor Yamabuki for treatment first, and then left a promise that "I will come to you again"...
