Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 348: Detective with Good Shooting Skills

"The police academy in Osaka... That's right, Kobe Industries is an Osaka company, right?" Shiraishi finally understood.

This makes sense...

Although such transfers generally do not occur, as a quasi-professional group or patrol chief will study in the police academy and take up their posts in the same place, but in theory there is no explicit regulation that cross-regional transfers are prohibited. With the strength of Kobe Industries, it is certainly very simple to do this.

"Kobe Industries is not an ordinary company, and its helmsman, Kobe Kiku, is no pushover. Also, I heard from my colleagues in Osaka that this young lady is a little unsociable, but not the overbearing kind... Well, I believe you can tame her." Iwata reminded Shiraishi.

"Whether you surrender or not...just don't make any big news for me." Bai Shi said helplessly.

Iwata was silent for a moment before saying, "You think... isn't this big news? Two small patrol chiefs were transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department with great effort. Upon closer inspection, they are both young ladies and young masters... The news has spread all over the headquarters."

Back then, Shiratori’s joining the company was big news, let alone the situation of the “Kobe Twins”!
It is true that Shiratori is the eldest son, but the Shiratori family can only be described as "rich" economically, and more importantly, they have influence as an old and powerful family, belonging to a century-old family.

In terms of economic status, the Shiratori family is really no match for Kobe Industries and Kobe Group, and more importantly... Shiratori Jinsaburo is a real "professional group"!
It is rare for a powerful family to be admitted to the "professional group". After all, the upper and lower limits of the occupations in the "professional group" are not low, and the children of the powerful cannot be ignored.

The "Kobe Twins" are only semi-professional teams...

According to their status, the "semi-professional group" is nothing at all. How can they be forced to join the team?

and……

They actually went to great lengths to get jobs at the police station, and even at the same police station?
Which police station is so arrogant? They are trying to steal the limelight from our main store, right?
Mihua Department...that's okay.

"By the way, Manager Uno promised me before that he would transfer a detective with good shooting skills to me. Do you have any idea?" Shiraishi asked.

Of course, Shiraishi also thought that most of the detectives transferred from the head office to the police station had "defects".

"Well, I checked for you. In addition to these two Kobes, there are two other transfers related to the Beihua Department. They seem very strange, so I paid attention to them for you...

"These two people used to be criminal police. One of them was transferred from the Lost and Found Office, but it seems that you were the one who asked for it; the other one was transferred from the Driver's License Examination Center, and it was said that it was Manager Uno who made the request." Iwata really knew.

Among them, Tian Shuyou from the "Lost and Found Office", Shiraishi already had a general idea of ​​the situation. Because his wife and daughter were murdered, he was heartbroken and transferred to a sinecure.

Minister Odagiri and Director Shiraba, who are aware of his abilities, should also hope that he can regain his strength. Since Shiraishi has asked for the person, the higher-ups will go along with it.

As for the guy at the "Driving Test Center", since it was Uno who greeted him, he should be the "detective with good shooting skills" he promised to Shiraishi.

"Driving Test Center...Did you make a mistake or offend someone?" Bai Shi asked directly.

Just by listening to the place where he was transferred, you can tell that there is “a problem”!
It's impossible to transfer the criminal police to places like the "Lost and Found Office" or "Driving Test Center" for no reason...

"Well, don't talk nonsense, this is all normal professional scheduling... But this person does have some bad rumors. In fact, you should have heard of it... When we were just promoted to regular police inspectors and assigned to various departments, wasn't there a rumor that a detective killed his partner?" Iwata reminded at this time.

After hearing what he said, Bai Shi also remembered.

"Well, it seems to be the case...but didn't they say later that there was no evidence?" Shiraishi also remembered this at this time.

Five years ago, Shiraishi had been in the Investigation Division for almost a year and had just been transferred to the newly established "Organized Crime Countermeasures Department"...

Although the detective in the rumor was not from the same department as Shiraishi, Shiraishi could be considered to recognize him and had also paid attention to this matter at the time.

"It is true that it was later treated as suicide, but until now, many people still believe that Souichi killed his partner detective...so he was sent to the driving test center." Iwata explained.

"I see. But since Manager Uno specially transferred him here, it seems that Manager Uno doesn't think there is really anything wrong with him..." Shiraishi suddenly realized what he said, and then he showed a look of reminiscence: "What was his name... Shima... Shima..."

Because they were not very familiar with each other, Shiraishi didn’t even know his full name five years ago!
"Shima Kazumi," Iwata said. He had specifically asked for Shiraishi. Iwata also found out, "And he should be there this week. It seems like he can't wait to be a detective again."

Unlike Tian Shuyou, Shima Ichimi's idleness is completely passive.

Even if he didn't return to the First Investigation Division and just went to the local police station, as long as it was a "criminal police" position, Shima didn't mind it. Instead, he was very excited. It seemed that he was fed up with the work at the driving test center!

"Manager Uno is really something. Is he afraid of gossip? Since I want to come, why don't you transfer me to the position before the competition?" Shiraishi sighed - this way, maybe the Mika Department can make it to the top five or even top three this year!

"I don't think I'm afraid of gossip, but I'm mainly afraid of being misunderstood as having a good relationship with you." Iwata decisively complained.

……

Afterwards, Shiraishi confirmed with Iwata that there were some outstanding graduates of the police academy that everyone was keeping an eye on - not only the criminal police, but other types of police as well.

Although it was impossible for Shiraishi to take care of everything, he still had a "significant harvest". Moreover, most of the people recommended by Shiraishi were also given new appointments. It seems that Minister Tanaka still gave Shiraishi this face.

Even Akasaka and Aoki's partners, that is, Toosaka and Matsuki, Shiraishi had only tried to push them and did not expect to succeed at once. However, he did not expect that this time, taking advantage of Kunikida's transfer, the two of them would go to Tsukishima Police Station together - after all, the rectification of Tsukishima Police Station was a long way to go, and it was thought that Kunikida was also given a place from above.

"Are there no other noteworthy arrangements? For example, transfers at the police chief level..." Shiraishi wondered.

Iwata also knew why Shiraishi asked this, so he answered directly: "I haven't seen it... Maybe the higher-ups want you to be promoted to a police inspector and become the head of the criminal section."

But then Shiraishi thought about it and realized that among the police lieutenants and detectives in the station, there would be few who could take on such a heavy responsibility!
Although Shiraishi is willing to help his subordinates, the position of Criminal Section Chief... especially the Criminal Section Chief of the Beika Police Department, is a matter of great importance and is definitely not a position that can be "ranked and promoted".

"I understand... It seems I have to go to the main store again in the afternoon." Bai Shi prepared to go and ask for the person.

Shiraishi actually didn't think that his superiors really wanted to promote him to the position of inspector and section chief within the agency. What was more likely was that the decision to transfer Kunikida away had just been made, so a new inspector had not yet been assigned to him.

……

Then Bai Shi called Hui Gu and Zi Lian over...

There is no change in their positions... After all, they just made a mistake a year and a half ago (implicated by Shirai), and were just transferred to Mihua a year and a half ago, so of course there is no possibility of promotion for either of them.

Now Shiraishi called them here to separate them. The norm for detective partners is that the old leads the new.

Huitani is of course a veteran detective, and Zinarcissistic is actually not a newcomer either—he used to be one of Souichi’s trump cards!

It was just because of the "emotional injury" that seemed to have hurt his brain, so Shiraishi was worried and asked him to partner with Huitani.

And now...

"Next month, the Metropolitan Police Department will be reshuffling personnel... You should have some guesses as to why we called you here, right?" Shiraishi asked directly.

"Is it... Section Chief Kunikida's farewell party?" asked the narcissistic man with burning eyes.

Shiraishi:……

Are you too eager? Do you believe that Kunikida will take you away?

"It is indeed related to the departure of Section Chief Kunikida... But you don't have to worry about the 'farewell party'. If you are so reluctant to let Section Chief Kunikida go, it just so happens that Section Chief Kunikida also wants to take a few capable people with him." Shiraishi rolled his eyes.

"No, no, no... ahem... I mean... I still want to learn more in the Rice Flower Bureau." Narcissistic said immediately.

Shiraishi also said directly at this time: "New police officers will be arriving soon, and the Criminal Division will also need to recruit people. In addition to the patrol officers transferred from the station, there are also some who are directly assigned... Section Chief Kunikida will go to Tsukishima Station later, so I will be the first to issue the personnel arrangements.

"Inspector Akasaka and Inspector Aoki will also be transferred next month. From now on, you will be the backbone of the Criminal Division. You will be assigned to lead new detectives... Well, the most difficult task will be handed over to you."

When they heard about this, they both became nervous - Shiraishi guessed that they had also heard about the "Kobe Twins".

"Detective Kogure, the Amagi Yu you told me about a few days ago will be transferred to our place later. You should first help him get familiar with the work of the Beika Police Station." Shiraishi handed Amagi Yu over to Zilian.

Firstly, it was Narcissism who recommended Amagi Yu to Shiraishi; secondly, although Narcissism was experienced and ace in terms of ability and qualifications, his personality was indeed a problem, and Amagi Yu... Shiraishi heard from Iwata that this was a calm person, and even though he had not been a detective for a long time, and even before that he had not been a detective for a long time, he was indeed not a "pure rookie" and was older than Narcissism, so he was just the right person to neutralize Narcissism's uncertainty.

Upon hearing this, Zi Nai heaved a sigh of relief.

As for Ashenvale...

Shiraishi is going to bring Kobe Miwako to him!
Shiraishi was also troubled by Kobe Miwako's situation. After thinking about it, he decided that an "experienced and older" detective would be more suitable. The only one in the Criminal Division who met this condition was Haitani.

"What? A rich lady like this..." Huitani's face turned purple after hearing what Shiraishi said.

This is completely different from Section Chief Marubi's idea...

For real frontline criminal police, this kind of "people with connections" must be more of a headache!
Well, when this kind of person with connections comes to the police station, especially when he is specifically asked to be a detective, and a detective in the criminal department, he can be said to be a "blessing to the entire station" but a "disaster to one department."

"You can't refuse." Shiraishi interrupted Huitani's complaint and asked, "Do you think there are other detectives suitable for the forced crime department?"

Upon hearing this, Huigu really wanted to pass the buck: "Yuan is still a little tender, but Hei Mu..." However, at this point, Huigu interrupted himself and said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Well, although Kuroki can be considered a veteran detective, as the nightclub prince of the Beihua Police Department, Kuroki is a little too wild!
Huigu was afraid that he would hook up with a rich girl...

It’s not that I’m afraid that he will do something to the girl, but I’m mainly afraid that he will be sunk into Toudou Bay by the Kobe family!
Seeing that he also realized this, Shiraishi nodded - and the partnership of Kuroki and Kanzaki... because Kanzaki was indeed still a newcomer, and the two of them had a special relationship, which involved a case from more than ten years ago that Kuroki was still secretly investigating, and Shiraishi was not prepared to touch their combination.

"But why does a rich girl like this have to come to the Criminal Division... and force herself to join the department..." Huitani couldn't help but mutter a few words.

"Because she wanted to come, I agreed! Is there a problem?" Bai Shi asked directly.

Bai Shi was not sure what to say to his subordinates. He felt that he had made a wrong promise, so he simply admitted openly that he had opened a back door.

Hearing the director's words, Huigu immediately stood at attention and said, "Yes! I will definitely take good care of the newcomer..." But then he couldn't help but say with embarrassment, "But..."

Bai Shi also knew what he was thinking, and said directly: "Let her try first. If she really can't adapt, I will talk to her. However...if it's because of your problem..."

"Absolutely not! If it's because of my problem... I..."

Huigu was making the promise when Zilian whispered, "I'll be transferred to the reception hall as a receptionist."

Huigu glared at him immediately, while Bai Shi nodded and said, "Okay, it's a deal."

Ash Valley:......

"By the way, Director, I heard that a rich young man is going to be transferred here, right? The other one... ahem, I mean, who will take on the other heavy responsibility?" Narcissistic asked excitedly.

Anyway, he had already decided to take Tenshuyou with him, so he could gloat over his misfortune to his heart's content.

"Hmm? Do you want to recommend yourself?" Bai Shi asked back.

"No... I think Tianshu and I get along better!" Narcissistic said immediately.

Bai Shi actually already had a plan in mind...

Next week Yuan will participate in the Metropolitan Police Department's training - as this year's shooting champion, the Metropolitan Police Department also has a special training activity.

Since Yamada has no partner at that time, Shiraishi plans to pair him with Shima temporarily, and then let Shima lead Kobe Daisuke!
When Shiraishi was under Inspector Megure five years ago, he also knew Shima Kazumi from the next department. I believe that once he gets used to the work in the police station, he will be a master...

----

Dongdong: Many book lovers have nominated "Machine Search 404" before, but Ibuki Ai is not included for the time being. Firstly, Shima's setting is too suitable for being combined with Kato Haru (Kobe Daisuke's partner) in the same category; secondly... considering the actor's joke, Ibuki Ai and Fuji Seiko working together feels like a hell joke.
