Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 340 Manual Consecration

"Have you heard? A detective from Tsukishima Police Station was killed in Harumi!"

"No wonder we saw them making such a big police call this morning... and they were killed? They were so brave, weren't they?"

"That's right. There are so many police officers in Harumi now..."

"You just found out about this? I heard it was someone from the Rice Flower Department who did it!"

"What? How is that possible?"

"It seems that someone from the Tsukishima Police Department tried to report on the players from the Beihua Police Department, but was silenced."

"I heard that Chief Mihua also said that whoever dares to defeat their police officers will be sunk to Dongdu Bay!"

"Why aren't you talking? By the way, which police station is the female police officer you were fighting against this afternoon from?"

……

By the time of the big competition in the afternoon, everyone knew about what happened at Tsukishima Police Station - after all, they were all police officers, and even if the news hadn't spread among the public yet, they would have known about it!
In addition…there is some “secret gossip” circulating among the officers in other police stations.

Of course, there shouldn't be many people who actually believe it. After all, they are also police officers. At least most of them can still hear that it is a rumor, but...

In the arresting skills competition, Fuji Seiko looked at the opponent in front of him and seemed a little nervous. He was confused at first, and then seemed to think of something and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

In theory, these are the elite "arresting techniques" who have emerged from among the young police officers who have registered in various police stations - each station has only three vacancies, two men and one woman, and the preliminary selection for the "arresting techniques" is one in ten!

Normally, if you draw a policewoman, you shouldn't be nervous, but should feel lucky, right?

Fujiya reacted immediately - this guy... couldn't be the kind of fool who "believes in rumors"?
if it is like this……

Aren’t fools meant to be amused?
……

Although there were no spectator seats outside the venue, Director Tanaka of the General Affairs Department was also present at this time - "organizing the Metropolitan Police Department's competition" was the job of the General Affairs Department.

Normally the minister wouldn't need to do it himself, but he still came to inspect the scene this time. After all, the bastards at Tsukishima Police Station had created such a big "internal news".

Since he had already seen Minister Tanaka, Shiraishi of course came over to say hello - after all, the promotion of old police officers and the transfer of new police officers would still depend on the Personnel Section of the General Affairs Department.

Although this kind of transfer of grassroots police officers does not involve the nature of the police force, and the various departments have reached a consensus on their own, and the General Affairs Department will not easily block the procedures, but... if it really blocks, this matter will be difficult to handle!
In addition, for the transfer of Muto Tou from a "mobile team" to a "patrol police", Abikawa must have done a lot of "public relations" in the Personnel Section of the General Affairs Department before!
Shiraishi had also visited Yasushi Tanaka before. Yasushi Tanaka, the director of the General Affairs Department, was a typical bureaucratic police officer. He was about fifty-five or fifty-six years old, looked bald and greasy, but he kept in good shape.

At this time, although Tanaka and Shiraishi were at the scene, they were both on the second-floor stands where the contestants did not notice them. They just glanced at each other and did not speak specifically, so no contestants noticed them.

"The young police officers nowadays... are getting worse with each generation! When we were young, we had to carry telescopic batons in our trouser legs at all times, so there was no need to urge them to practice arrest techniques like this." Minister Tanaka said in a contemptuous manner.

Well, although he has never been on the front line for a day, he looks quite imposing with a height of 1.8 meters...

Shiraishi complained in his heart, "It's just what happens when people get old." He over-beautified the image of his youth and over-emphasized the hard work he did when he was young. However, he said, "Yeah, I was also shocked when I first arrived at the police station, alas." As he spoke, he shook his head as if he was "angry at him for not fighting back."

Shiraishi's reaction deeply touched Tanaka's heart...

"And these female police officers... if they are not capable, why don't they just go to the Ministry of Transportation and work in prestigious positions? The public is stupid and thinks there are no women among the criminal police. They are discriminated against, and the politicians actually obey them." Tanaka, as an old-school bureaucrat, was not impressed by female criminal police and shook his head as he spoke.

Shiraishi also knew that at Minister Tanaka's age, he was still the head of the Metropolitan Police Department, and there was no hope of him being transferred to the National Police Agency. This showed that he would probably just retire...

Therefore, he does not care about "speaking out loud" and is too lazy to even pretend to be conservative.

However, due to the gender gap, the number of female police officers participating in the arrest skills competition has dropped from the mandatory one-third at the beginning to less than one-tenth...

"Well, after all, at the same weight, female police officers' physical strength is still a little worse... But the difference is not too big. What really widens the gap is that female police officers are generally lighter than male police officers. Although there are no specific statistics, it is estimated that they are about 30 kilograms lighter. How can this gap be made up?

"In my opinion, female criminal police should be urged to gain weight to at least 70 kilograms, and patrol police should weigh 65 kilograms. This way their combat effectiveness will naturally increase." Shiraishi once again made the remarks of a weight fanatic.

Tanaka:……

"That's not necessary. Detectives are not just about arresting people. Female police officers can be responsible for interrogating special criminals and conducting inquiries that are inconvenient for male police officers." Tanaka felt that Shiraishi was a bit too radical.

After all, Tanaka doesn't want to see that all the female police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department are fat in the future - in the Eastern Island country's aesthetic that advocates "childishness", this is simply fat pig-level!

"Huh? A female police officer won... Beika Police Station?" Tanaka suddenly noticed that one of the groups was won by a female police officer.

Just when Tanaka wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, he found that it was still the Mikado Agency, and he couldn't help feeling slapped in the face.

Shiraishi actually saw it too...

Teng actually won?
Shiraishi had just been paying attention to Fuji's arresting skills competition. Both sides drew blast shields and short sticks. It was obvious that the other side was stronger. And the blast shield was indeed more advantageous for the big and strong male police officers, but...

Just when the opponent was about to knock Teng down, for some reason, he started making mistakes one after another, it was almost like a fake game!
Shiraishi even saw that Fuji had a move to secretly say something to him, and then the boy's face began to turn purple, as if... he didn't encounter a bootlicker, but seemed to be scared?
But of course Shiraishi couldn't say that now, and at the same time he had to pay attention to Minister Tanaka's face, so he calmly said: "Yes, it's Detective Fuji from our department. She's actually quite fat, and she's the type that looks thin when she wears clothes!"

"I see..." Upon hearing this, Tanaka nodded modestly.

only……

Tanaka looked at Shiraishi twice more - how do you know that "dressing" makes you look thinner? I didn't expect... you are also this kind of person!
"By the way, have you visited Minister Odagiri recently?" Tanaka changed the subject.

Regarding his relationship with Shiraishi, Tanaka Yasushi's can't be said to be good, nor bad.

The reason why Shiraishi is closer to him than the average director is that they are both from the "Gold Watch Group" and Tanaka Yasushi also graduated from the University of Tokyo!
There are very few "gold watch groups" at the position of director, and generally, even if you reach this position, you will not stay there for long.

Even though Toyokawa, Sawato and others usually look down on Sano, in the eyes of Tanaka Yasushi, a bureaucratic policeman, the average director is just a "slightly higher-level cattle and horses."

But it is different for Shiraishi in the "Gold Watch Group". Even if Shiraishi cannot be promoted, it is different in the eyes of other "Gold Watch Groups"!

Even if Shiraishi does not form a group with them, or even is their enemy, being regarded as an enemy by Shiraishi is also "fighting as an opponent". If other non-professional groups, or even professional groups that are not graduates of the University of Tokyo, are their enemies, they will feel like they have been bitten by a dog and will be even more annoyed.

Shiraishi couldn't quite understand this feeling, he could only say that that's how people in Dongdao were.

However, the relationship between Shiraishi and Tanaka Yasushi was not very close, and he was not even closer to the other directors. The main reason was...

The relationship between Tanaka Yasushi and Odagiri Toshiro is very bad!

And Odagiri Toshiro is Shiraishi's old boss, which cannot be ignored.

"Inspector Odagiri... I went to see him before because of a case. There are too many criminal cases in the Beika Police Station, and some are very complicated. Thanks to Inspector Odagiri, he can help me solve some problems every time I go there because of our friendship when we were in the team."

At this moment, Shiraishi remembered that there was no superior-subordinate relationship, and that they had to be addressed as "police rank", and...

It sounds like Odagiri didn't help much!

Otherwise, why do you need to use Bai Shi every time?

How many things can a director need to ask the Minister of Criminal Affairs for help?

From the tone of his voice, it seemed as if Odagiri was annoyed by him...

Tanaka originally did not regard Shiraishi as "Odagiri's man" - if Shiraishi had any intention of forming a gang, he would not have gone to the police station.

After hearing what Shiraishi said, Tanaka's attitude became a little more friendly...

"The case at Tsukishima Police Station didn't affect you too much, did it?" Tanaka suddenly asked.

"No, it can't be considered an impact. It's just that the guys in the office, as eyewitnesses, are inevitably distracted." Bai Shi said as a matter of course.

"Well, although the duty of police officers is to protect citizens, they also exist to restrain the behavior of citizens. Sometimes, some abnormalities will arise internally, but sometimes it is necessary to unite these abnormalities. This is something that those front-line police officers can understand..." "Okay, I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department, really... I don't know why, why must the competition be held when the General Affairs Department is the busiest?" Tanaka began to mutter again, complaining that the arrangements of the General Office were unreasonable.

Tanaka just mentioned the matter of Tsukishima Police Station.

Bai Shi secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, but he still sent him away in a friendly manner until he got into the car.

Regarding the case of Tsukishima Police Station, Tanaka only hinted - if Shiraishi listens to advice, then he should restrain his subordinates. If Shiraishi does not listen to advice... then Tanaka's words can also be regarded as a hint!
There must be something wrong with Tsukishima Police Station.

After Shiraishi saw Tanaka off, he checked the time and felt it was just right...

Then Shiraishi hurried to the shooting range for the shooting competition. Just at this moment, the group that Yuan was in was about to enter.

Unlike the "arrest technique" side, where Shiraishi was mainly there to say hello to Minister Tanaka and never actually showed up, on the shooting side, Shiraishi walked directly to the police officer who was about to enter.

The staff from the General Affairs Department who organized the competition saw Bai Shi walking around here, so they naturally didn't dare to stop him...

After all, with such a big guy, anyone can recognize him as Police Officer Shiraishi, and... I heard that someone in Tsukishima Police Station wanted to report him, but was beaten to death by him!
"Gen, based on the results we just saw from Kanzaki, they won't be able to qualify, so you better cheer up!" Shiraishi encouraged Gen directly.

Of course, the most important thing is not encouragement, but...

Bai Shi directly "shocked" Yuan!
Yuan didn't know why, but when he saw the director standing in front of him, he instinctively felt a chill run up from his tailbone and immediately stood at attention in fear.

"Yes!" Yuan responded immediately.

At the same time, Yuan's originally tense mood, for some reason, was relieved a lot, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even his mentality changed slightly, and...

This feeling is very familiar to Yuan!

During the previous competition preliminaries, Yuan had entered this state under extremely tense circumstances.

Once you enter this state, your shooting skills will be much steadier than usual. Not only will your mentality be better, but your intuition also seems to be stronger.

That’s right, Shiraishi used intimidation to stimulate the second personality that Gen had “empathized” with from Akiyoshi Kanako. In Gen, it didn’t reach the level of a “second personality”, but it was also equivalent to a pseudo-personality, a special state…

In addition to "seriousness", "anger" and "tension", this state can also be triggered when "sensing danger".

After manually consecrating the source, Bai Shi found a place and kept staring at the source...

At this time, Yuan didn't know what was wrong with the director, or even what was wrong with himself. He just felt that under the director's gaze, he instinctively tightened his anus, but... it felt pretty good?

Fortunately, Shiraishi has been keeping an eye on the police officers in his department...

If they were keeping an eye on the other nine police officers in this group, the people from the General Affairs Department would have to intervene no matter how much they didn't want to!

But now Bai Shi did not put pressure on others, he was just "motivating" his subordinates, so they couldn't say anything.

Because of this vague "sense of crisis", Yuan was in great shape, and naturally put one hand in his pocket...

In this state, Yuan could also feel that he had become "careless".

bang-bang-bang-

It was clearly a moving target, and there were even misleading targets that could not be hit, but Yuan fired continuously at this time, and after emptying the pistol magazine, he immediately replaced it skillfully...

Same as the pre-selection stage!
Once in the same group with "Gen Seiji who is in good shape", the results of other police officers participating in the competition will be greatly affected!
After all, seeing him play so fast, it's inevitable that he will get impatient, and according to the rules...

The drop in hit rate is secondary. Once you hit a target that cannot be hit, you will immediately get zero points - after all, this is a "shooting competition for police officers", not a simple "shooting competition"...

The principle is that you should never hit a target that shouldn't be hit. When a misleading target appears, the best way to deal with it is to stop and not shoot - knowing that you can't shoot is often more important than accurate shooting.

A certain famous detective should have a deep understanding of this.

Of course, if you can use a pistol to accurately eliminate the interference of misleading targets like Yuan, it is not impossible to fire continuously!
However, due to the influence of the source, three out of the ten people in the group were eliminated because they were too hasty and hit the misleading target by mistake.

……

After supervising Yuan's shooting, Bai Shi did not stay for long. After all, in the four-person competition, only Yuan could be positively influenced by Bai Shi.

Like Kanzaki, if Shiraishi went to see him, he would only become more nervous.

And he has already finished shooting...

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be eliminated in the first round.

After all, he was lucky to advance, and the final stage is a knockout round!
Unless Shiraishi secretly goes to "intimidate" other people's opponents, even if he goes, it will have no positive effect on improving their performance!
Teng also "inexplicably advanced" today. Among the four people in the Mihua Police Department, three have passed the first day, and Teng is a policewoman - the competition is conducted by drawing lots between men and women, but when calculating the results, the policewomen have their own list, and Teng can now be counted at the front.

It can be predicted that the performance of Mihua Agency this year will be very good, firmly in the top 20, and there is hope that it can even see the top ten.

……

Afterwards, Shiraishi and Ayako went to Harumi's beach resort - after all, they were here for vacation today!
It was still March, there were hardly any people at the beach, and the sea breeze was a bit chilly, so the two of them just walked along the beach.

Under the setting sun, the sea breeze was blowing, the atmosphere was romantic, Ayako ran for a rare time, and Shiraishi followed behind with a few quick steps...

Ayako didn't say anything like "Come and chase me". After all, this kind of flirting is not suitable for Shiraishi. Shiraishi can catch her immediately by jumping on one leg.

However, while she was tired from running, Bai Shi still took two quick steps and hugged her.

"Okay, take a break." Bai Shi said softly.

"What are you thinking about?" Ayako asked, looking at Shiraishi's lips in the sunset.

"I was thinking... before when we were in Aomori, we were also chasing the enemy on the beach, but unfortunately a sniper interfered and she ran away!" Shiraishi said regretfully.

Ayako:……

"But you can't run away today." Shiraishi said, picking up Ayako.

……

At the same time, Kanzaki, who had been "confirmed to be eliminated", was not idle at this time. Since he had been eliminated, he concentrated on investigating the murder case.

There were also several children who saw the victim's police car that day. Because they could not tell the exact time and were too young and their testimonies were limited, the patrol officers from Tsukishima Police Station did not pay attention to them during the visit.

However, Kanzaki discovered in his testimony that these children saw the police car stopped near the location where the body was dumped. Perhaps they could see the driver's appearance or some other important details!
After asking along the way, Kanzaki arrived at the beach.

I saw a few little kids running towards me from the beach.

Kanzaki saw this and quickly shouted, "Wait, you are Bunta, Kokichi, and Katsuko, right? I'm the police officer uncle... why are you running?"

The kids ignored him and continued running...

"Ah! There's a monster eating people on the beach!"

"Really! It's so big, I picked up the big sister in the skirt and put it to my mouth..."

"Run!"

Kanzaki:? ? ?
Kids are really bad, they never tell the truth!
