Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 343 The Secret of Bichuan

"Bai Shi, that young man is from your police station, right? I didn't expect that the police station has made such great progress this year. It shows that they are well trained. As the chief, you are also good at your work." Bai Ma praised Bai Shi at this time.

"He has good talent." Bai Shi said modestly.

"You don't have to be modest. We can all see what Director Shiraishi has achieved in the past six months!" Bai Ma smiled.

At this time, the arresting competition has ended, and the shooting competition has also reached its final stage...

Except for Superintendent Teramon, all the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department present were smiling - Teramon couldn't smile much because he was the principal of the Toudou Police Academy.

The police officers who participated in the competition were all relatively young. After several years of professional training, their shooting ability had declined to varying degrees compared to when they graduated...

Every year, there are still some talented "sharpshooters" in police academies, but on the one hand, this is because the best of the best are sent to special departments such as the Public Security Bureau and the Security Bureau; and on the other hand, police officers who join ordinary patrol and criminal police positions often neglect training in this area, resulting in the quality of the Metropolitan Police Department's police station shooting competitions being even worse than those in police academy competitions!
"It looks like the Mihua Department will win the shooting competition this year." Bai Ma looked at the scene with satisfaction.

Bai Ma specifically called Bai Shi over at this time just to give him a hand.

……

After the shooting competition came to an end, the results of the Mihua Department were ranked eighth!
The most notable results were undoubtedly Gen Seiji's "first place in shooting" and Fuji Seiko's "eighth place in female arresting skills", and Muto Tou also "nineteenth place in male arresting skills", and Kanzaki Ryuichi's one-round exit after the qualifying round...

Except for the Mika Police Station, all the other top ten police stations have six people who passed the preliminaries - these police stations have a "training tradition" in this regard, and they can squeeze out manpower for special training in normal times, and rely on this to get "performance".

The results of Mihuashu were some high and some low, but after comprehensive analysis, it reached eighth place, which can be said to be far beyond expectations!
At the moment when Director Bai Ma awarded the top ten police stations, Shiraishi also heard the voice of the system...

[Achieve the achievement of "20000th place in the Metropolitan Police Department Police Station Competition", and be rewarded with achievement points. ]

Personal results have nothing to do with Shiraishi, but the final police station result is indeed worth some achievement points!

Moreover, the eighth place actually had 10000 points. This number was beyond Bai Shi's expectation. Bai Shi's original estimate was that the top three would be good with 10000 points. After all, one [Witch Trial] was only 3000 points, and training an R-level subordinate and promoting him to SR was only points...

Originally, Bai Shi didn't care that much, or he cared more about the "face" aspect, but now seeing the points, Bai Shi feels that this Du Nei University competition is really important!
"The Metropolitan Police Department holds a police station competition every year, which can be considered a stable way to gain points..." Shiraishi thought to himself.

"But there was a lot of luck involved this time. Even though Muto was eliminated unexpectedly, it was also luck that Muto was able to make it to the top eight... I have to consider this aspect when I recruit and transfer people in the future." Shiraishi weighed it in his mind.

The ranking of female police officers’ arrest skills is largely based on luck.

After all, it is a mixed competition between men and women, but the final results will be ranked - if you are lucky and go one more round, or even hold on for a while longer, your ranking will improve a lot, on the contrary, if you are unlucky, your ranking may be far lower than your actual ability.

The only stable ones are Gen and Muto, but it's not realistic to ask Muto to participate in the competition every time. He might really be reported. As for Gen, there will always be a chance that he will be transferred!
After all, with Yuan's ability, Bai Shi will also push him in two years for his better development in the future...

If Shiraishi actively recommends talents for promotion, there will be a high turnover of young police officers in the police station. In this case, if you want to have good results in the examination, you must work harder in "recruiting new people" afterwards.

At this time, Simen glanced at Baishi...

Because he found that Bai Shi had been looking at him and even smiled.

Well, if you want "good seedlings", you are already one step too late if you wait until the internship is over and the assignment stage comes. The "first-hand" ones have to be picked directly from the police academy!

However, Shiraishi did not say anything to Teramon at this time. After all, the principal of the police academy was also at the level of Superintendent of Police, and there were many people trying to please him, and...

Without strong connections, it is unlikely that the police academy will send talented students to the police station.

Putting aside personal relationships, Shiraishi had to first prove that "the Beika Police Station with me, Shiraishi, here is the secondary police academy for young police officers to further their studies" before he could talk to Teramon.

……

The Metropolitan Police Department Police Station Competition ended successfully...

At least it’s a perfect ending for the Rice Flower Agency!
Not only did they achieve good results, but they also "killed" the chief of Tsukishima Police Station, becoming famous both inside and outside the police community - the murder of a criminal police officer had already been exposed two days ago, and in order to hedge against public opinion, the Metropolitan Police Department of course had to use the Beika Police Station as a positive example...

This proves that the problems at Tsukishima Police Station are merely the result of the ideological corruption of “individuals” within the Metropolitan Police Department and even within the police community. The Tokaido police are able to correct their mistakes on their own and there are no institutional flaws.

Not only is the case itself extremely serious, but the public has not yet recovered from the Aomori incident...

First, a county chief was killed by his criminal chief, and now the Metropolitan Police Department has come to the police station chief to kill his own criminal police. Isn't the atmosphere in the police force a bit too bad? This is no longer an ordinary "tax thief"...

Therefore, in terms of promoting the glorious image of the Beihua Police Department in the case, the Metropolitan Police Department, the National Police Agency, and the Public Safety Commission have the same goal!

……

March 3th is the last day of the competition, and the next day is the 14th - the day of the headquarters leaders' meeting.

For the 11th Department Headquarters, the atmosphere of this regular directors' meeting was more "weird" than usual.

After all, the biggest scandal of the Metropolitan Police Department in the first quarter was undoubtedly the Tsukishima Police Station incident, and the Tsukishima Police Station is the headquarters of the 11th Area!
Under normal circumstances, this could be called the "biggest scandal of the year in the police world", but now that Aomori Prefecture has already been in Oita at the beginning of the year, the Metropolitan Police Department is still a little behind, and there are still eight and a half months left, who knows what kind of scandals will emerge...

However, the Eleventh Department Headquarters, as the direct superior agency of Tsukishima Police, of course also suffered the consequences afterwards.

It is conceivable how ugly Yan Tuhaici's face is now - the direct criticism and the investigation he will face are secondary. What makes Yan Tuhaici most uncomfortable is that this incident has left a "heavy" stain on his resume!

From this point of view alone, Yan Tu Haici hated Bai Shi and that bastard Fengchuan in his heart.

Fengchuan also knew that Yan Tu Hai Ci couldn't handle such a big thing, so he didn't tell him the details. When Qing Hai just got into trouble, he was also hesitant to talk to Yan Tu Hai Ci...

As a result, Yan Tu didn't put in any effort and was directly accused of "not being strict with his subordinates".

As for Bai Shi...

It hasn't been just one or two days since I ignored Yan Tu Hai Ci!

Even though Yan Tu had taken the initiative to call Shiraishi in the past two days and asked him about Qing Hai, Shiraishi always dealt with him!

Shiraishi has been ignoring the "head of the department" for a long time...

Although the "head of the area headquarters" is the superior of the "director", this superior who is only one level higher has neither the power to punish nor the ability to promote, and even lacks the power to command. He is only a "supervisor". His influence on the director of a large police station like Shiraishi who has close contacts with the General Administration is very limited.

Just like when they were paired up, Shiraishi and his own section chief didn't have a good relationship, but he was more familiar with other section chiefs...

Bai Shi's action this time undoubtedly completely aroused Yan Tu Haici's anger - after all, this old guy still has ambitions and wants to be promoted. Adding a stain to his resume is much more serious than slapping him in the face!
However, the Mihua Agency is now the positive example of the "Eleventh Headquarters". Yan Tu Haici kept smiling at Bai Shi throughout the meeting, but the veins on his forehead could not be retracted...

And when he was instructing other directors to "carefully prepare for the subsequent financial audit," they couldn't help but grit their teeth and seemed to be venting their anger.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the directors' meeting was very strange.

However, Bai Shi didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere at all. Instead, he accepted the award without hesitation. He even took out the manuscript that Bichuan had written in advance and shared his experience at the meeting, as if he was a "role model"...

Seeing this scene, the directors of the 11th Department Headquarters also knew that Director Shiraishi was going to compete with Director Yan Tu for the right to speak within the department headquarters.

As a result, most of the directors fell silent...

Before, they dared to isolate Bai Shi together with Yan Tu Hai Ci, but as Bai Shi gradually gained a firm foothold and even showed the arrogance to compete with Yan Tu Hai Ci, they no longer dared to act rashly.

After all, Yan Tu Haici was their superior before, and Shiraishi Kuro...even though his police rank was one level higher, they were only directors, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship between them. It was instinctive for them to follow Yan Tu Haici.

However, this does not mean that they are all Yan Tu Haici's loyal lackeys.

After Shiraishi showed his fangs, most of the directors became neutral, ready to wait and see who would win!

Of course, there are three directors who are Yan Tu Hai Ci's confidants, and there is also Zeden, a "loyal ally", but now it is not easy for them to directly fight back against Bai Shi...

After the meeting, there was no dinner, which was rare.

It is estimated that in the next few months, there will be no dinner parties in the regular meetings of all departments!
Not to mention using the police station's account, even the director of the headquarters would have great concerns if he paid for the meal out of his own pocket.

For the first time, after a regular meeting, Shiraishi returned to the police station feeling refreshed.

then……

"What? You said there's something wrong with our police station's accounts?"

In the director's office, Shiraishi raised his voice several times and looked at the inspector in front of him in a questioning manner.

Supervisor Tetsuro Minato smiled and explained, "The problem...is not that big, but its nature cannot be ignored..."

Although Minato Tetsuro's police rank is only "Inspector", due to the special nature of his position, he has always been able to walk sideways in the police system. Normally, he should not have any scruples now that he is "ordered to conduct a strict investigation".

but……

It so happened that problems were discovered in the police station where "there must be no problems", which gave Inspector Minato a headache.

"Please take a look at these accounts... here... and here... Although it is not impossible to explain, Deputy Director Bichuan is not cooperating." Minato patiently showed Shiraishi.

Shiraishi realized that the other party had no intention of embarrassing him, so he calmed down and looked at him strangely - this guy's temperament did not seem like that of an "Inspector", he was not very old, and was quite handsome, with a bit of a cream boy feeling.

Of course, ordinary "inspectors" are generally not very old.

After all, if you stay in the police force for too long, you will become obscure and naturally cannot become an "inspector".

The most common destination for grassroots "inspectors" is to resign or change careers. Senior inspectors, because of their high police rank, are the preserve of bureaucratic police officers, but they also belong to the category of "difficult to get promoted" - if you don't do well, you won't get a promotion at all, and if you do too well... you won't get a promotion at all!
Tetsuro Minato gave Shiraishi the materials, and Shiraishi read them carefully. Soon Shiraishi understood the situation - Shiraishi had been working as director for half a year, so of course he saw the problem quickly.

First of all, before Bai Shi came to the Mihua Office, there was an "unexplained" amount of 300,000 yuan that was withdrawn from Bichuan every month.

Although there are some names, they cannot stand up to scrutiny...

About three years ago, this "strangeness" disappeared, but a month ago, two million "unclear" things appeared directly!
Shiraishi also saw that Minato Tetsuro was not provocative, and even...

Instead, he was "making things easier" for the Mihua Agency, which was against the rules and regulations - what else could he do? He was also desperate!

This time, the strict investigation and crackdown are serious for other police stations, but for the Mihua Police Station... it is just a formality, and absolutely nothing can go wrong.

If Bichuan had just given him a reasonable explanation, Minato could have even helped polish it himself, and then the matter would have been over, but...

"What did Deputy Director Bichuan say?" Bai Shi frowned and asked. Would Bichuan be so arrogant? He didn't even have an explanation?

As soon as Shiraishi came back, he met with Tetsuro Minato, but he didn't have time to ask what was going on with Aoi-chan.

Minato said helplessly at this time: "Deputy Chief Bichuan said... he did it all without telling the police station, and he will submit his resignation report later... ahem, of course, I believe this must be a misunderstanding."

Shiraishi:? ? ?
Bai Shi also realized at this time that there must be something else going on...

"Hahaha, so that's what it is... Deputy Director Bichuan is really something, why is he making things difficult for his fellow inspectors... In fact, this is the expense for the informant. The former director and I both knew about it, but because the informant's identity is very secretive, it was not directly recorded." Shiraishi laughed and gave an explanation.

"I see... After all, Beikacho is so close to Kamurocho, it really is hard for you." Minato also immediately realized.

At this time, Mou also breathed a sigh of relief. If he forced the deputy director of the Mihua Bureau to resign at this time, he would be the one who would suffer in the future!

“But the accounts just sit there, and they don’t seem to add up…” Cou said, offering professional advice.

"Don't worry, I will ask Deputy Director Bichuan to complete the formalities later." Bai Shi looked nonchalant.

Tetsuro Minato seemed to know that Shiraishi would definitely go to Deputy Director Abikawa to verify the situation later, and since he couldn't answer anything now, he quickly said goodbye and left.

As expected, Bai Shi then called Bichuan on the internal line in a serious tone and asked him to come to his office immediately!

"Deputy Director Bichuan, what is going on?" Bai Shi threw the materials in front of him and asked.

Hearing this, Bichuan said dully, "I will take responsibility for this matter... I will submit my resignation report later. As for the funds in the agency... I will make up for it as soon as possible."

Generally speaking, the Metropolitan Police Department would not want to make a big deal about such things. Three or four million a year... is just equivalent to a patrolman's annual income plus benefits. If a superintendent makes such a mistake, he will be fired and the money will be paid back. Most likely, the matter will not be sent for inspection, and even no internal documents will be issued. Instead, he will "resign on his own initiative."

But Bai Shi was obviously not satisfied with his reaction...

"What? Deputy Director Bichuan doesn't like me and wants to resign in protest?" Bai Shi said arrogantly.

"No...of course that's not what I meant." Bichuan quickly explained.

"What's going on?" Bai Shi didn't believe that Bichuan really embezzled the money.

"If you really need the money, I can do it personally..." Bai Shi said this deliberately.

Sure enough, Bichuan immediately shook his head and said, "No, I don't need it..." Bichuan then realized that he had been fooled and kept silent.

"But if you hadn't taken this money, you would have been stuck with debts and no pension. Your life would have been difficult, right? Your two sons are of marriageable age..." Shiraishi began to persuade him earnestly.

Seeing that Bichuan was still hesitant, Bai Shi simply let go and said, "And have you ever thought about it? If you leave because of something like this, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. It's ok to have rumors in the office in the future, but what about those young police officers who take you as a role model?
"If you quit, the worst that can happen is that your wife will kick you out and make you a homeless person. But if the morale of our Rice Flower Department is corrupted in the future, what will we do if something like this happens again?"

After hearing what Director Shiraishi said, Bichuan finally spoke up...

"Actually... I had an informant before." Bichuan revealed helplessly at this time.

Shiraishi was right.

Actually, Bai Shi had this suspicion just now - he received the money regularly every month, with a long gap in between, and then he received the money for half a year...

This is usually the case with informants. If they go to jail, they will be given some "subsidy".

After all, informants are not undercover agents. Most of them are "bribed scoundrels", and very few are "ordinary people assisting in the investigation." For the "group", informants are marginal people in the violent organization. If these people are really caught, they will have to go to jail, and at most they can get a reduced sentence.

However, the informants who are "grouped" usually prefer to spend their lives in prison rather than admit that they are informants, otherwise they will be in a worse situation...

But now Bai Shi still had doubts in his heart after hearing what Bichuan said, so he asked directly: "Informant? How high-ranking is the informant?"

Three hundred thousand a month...

For a small group of ordinary violent organizations, giving them 100,000 is a big deal!
Previously, Gina said she wanted to be Shiraishi's informant, and her asking price was also 100,000...

Three hundred thousand is equivalent to the salary of a good job, which is not available to ordinary informants.

Bichuan shook his head and said, "Not so high... When I met him, he was only sixteen years old, his family was broken, he was wandering around, and he made mistakes... just like other little hooligans.

"But I can feel that he still yearns for justice and light, so I gradually developed him as an informant and used him to solve many major cases. He didn't spend the three hundred thousand yuan every month carelessly, but used it to make friends with those criminals..."

Bichuan then explained.

at the same time……

After hearing his words, Shiraishi roughly understood what had happened - the "Group Pairing" was definitely the department that understood "informants" the best.

Bichuan used the word "utilize", which shows that he is already rejecting the behavior of finding informants!
Just like Shiraishi had sternly stopped Gina when she said she wanted to be an informant.

Unlike the tragic work of undercover police officers, finding informants is, after all, a way of handling cases that pushes people into danger or even into crime.

It would be fine if the target was a "hopeless bastard who has some use value", just like a scumbag man and a scumbag woman, everyone gets what they need, but...

Once you feel that you are pushing the other person into committing a crime, you will feel guilty!
This is clearly the case with Bichuan!

Moreover, this was the "informer" that Bichuan had offered up since he was a minor...

Three years ago, after the other party was imprisoned for the last time, Bichuan no longer wanted him to be an informant, but hoped that he could continue to live an upright life. So when he was released from prison last month, Bichuan gave him the last sum of money.

The previous expenses were actually not against the rules. If one had to pay for finding an informant, those bad guys in that group would have starved to death on the streets long ago!
Although the source of funds may be a little shady sometimes, as long as there is no deliberate attempt to frame someone, the higher-ups will not make a fuss about the money for finding informants. This is true for groups and departments... and the same goes for local police stations.

But the problem is that Abikawa doesn't want the other party to be an informant anymore. Not only did she grit her teeth, but from the very beginning, she never handed over the matter of the informant to Shiraishi - as Shiraishi said, Director Ebihara actually knew about it, but he has retired, and Ebihara has always thought that Abikawa must have handed over this matter.

Beika-cho is next to Kamuro-cho, and the Beika-do Police Department has a lot of expenses for informants every month. Ebihara would not even keep an eye on such a small matter, but in the end, an informant was "eliminated" by Akikawa...

"Start a new life...what did he say?" Bai Shi did not judge whether Bichuan was right or wrong, but asked first.

"He...will understand." Bichuan looked evasive.

When Bai Shi saw this reaction, he knew that the other party might not accept Bichuan's kindness.

"What difficulties does he have? Does he think it's easy to make money this way?" Bai Shi asked directly.

"No!" Bichuan said immediately, and then he calmed down and said helplessly: "No... That kid is used to being an informant, and even... I know he used to admire the police. I think he became an informant because he had his own sense of justice as an internal driving force..."
