Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 43 Consultant
Gu Meimen won the case again and identified the real murderer.

However... the twists and turns of the case, especially the fact that Tsubokura's charge of intentional homicide was not withdrawn but only became "attempted", reduced the pressure on the police a lot.

Of course, Gu Meimon will insist that the prosecution's conviction is inappropriate and insist on bargaining down to "intentional injury."

At this time, in the Toudou High Court, Gu Meimen left triumphantly, while Dai was a little "humiliated".

Although this was considered a win, but... the facts made Dai, who had previously believed in her client, quite ashamed.

Although he won, when facing the reporters outside, Kumimon asked his exclusive "informant" to deliberately create chaos to lead them away, and then left leisurely - Kumimon did not like to attract traffic for himself, this kind of thing was not helpful for "winning".

"I didn't expect that in the end... Tsubokura really lied to me." Dai was still feeling aggrieved about it.

"What are you talking about? Whether you're the plaintiff or the defendant, it's normal for them to tell lies. As a lawyer, you don't have to consider those things!" Kumemon was open-minded.

"Huh? Aren't we lawyers supposed to protect fairness and justice..." Dai was obviously not used to this kind of statement.

"Are you the heroine of some morning drama? You are just a lawyer, and all you have to do is win the case for your client... I haven't told you yet, if you had told me those things earlier this time, Mr. Tsubokura could have been released now!" Kumemon started to lecture him directly.

"You..." Dai was furious when she heard that, but then she seemed to remember something and asked, "But even though you said that, you actually... still hope for fairness and justice, right?"

"Ah? So amazing! Can you see something that humans can't see?" Kumimon mocked rudely.

"But... you defended Director Shiraishi before, didn't you? That shows that you also..." Dai wanted to list the evidence at this time. This was one of the few human things that she saw that Kumimoto had done.

Gu Meimen was so angry that she laughed. Before she could say anything, her cell phone rang...

"Hello... Yes, that's great... This is really a wise move! Suzuki Group will definitely not regret today's decision... Okay, I'll go sign the contract right away... Hahahaha... You're welcome, it's just a small favor!" Kumimon answered the phone with a big smile on his face.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Meimen even held up the phone and said to Dai: "If you can say a few good words to others and get a contract as a special legal consultant for the Suzuki Group, please call me!"

Dai: ???

That's right, Kumimon will help Shiraishi, and the reason is simple...

Although he's just an external legal consultant, he gets paid quite a bit every month, and...it's basically free money!
After all, the Suzuki Group has its own large legal department. Why is it necessary to consult an outside legal advisor?

No matter how many contracts like this one Kumimon signs, it won’t be too many!
As for the relationship between Suzuki Group and Shiraishi Kuro, Kumimon doesn't care at all...

……

At the same time, Shiraishi also received a call from Iwata.

"I've seen Shirai's transfer order. It's basically confirmed that he will be reporting back to the Publicity Section of the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Police Department. There are three other transfer orders..." Iwata said in a businesslike tone at this time.

However, Shiraishi still said: "As expected of Iwata... All this is thanks to you. I'll treat you to a drink tonight."

"Huh? It's different after you get a promotion!" Iwata deliberately said.

Shiraishi used to be quite stingy. After all, he was just a police captain before, and he donated a lot of money to orphanages. Although he was not tight on money, he was always living paycheck to paycheck.

"That's right, if you add up my current police rank and job salary, you wouldn't know it, but once you do the math, I'm already a high-income earner." Bai Shi said with a deliberate smile.

Well, after all, he was promoted twice before, so this time his salary is much higher than that of Iwata, who is a "Superintendent + Section Chief of the General Department".

After chatting for a while, the two of them got back to the main topic - the three people that the Rice Flower Bureau was going to transfer!
Now the head of the Criminal Division, Shirai, was bound to be transferred. Shiraishi did not accept his resignation, but asked Iwata to help him get a "vacancy". In fact, it was just to let him "retire" and get a pension.

In addition... Shiraishi took the opportunity to transfer two detectives from the Haidani squad.

Shiraishi originally felt that they were not suitable to be criminal police based on their abilities and mentality. Furthermore, they performed particularly poorly during Shirai's improper interrogation this time, and even gave false testimony and attempted to cover up a crime. Therefore, Shiraishi took the opportunity to transfer them both away.

As for the position of Chief of Criminal Division, Haidani was also undergoing self-reflection this time, so he definitely had no chance. Akasaka and Aoki... were also not up to the mark, so Shiraishi did not force his own people to take the position, but instead requested a transfer from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Although the official appointment has not been announced yet, Iwata certainly has his own channels and already knows the candidate...

After listening to Iwata's introduction, Shiraishi was stunned: "Huh? Transferred from the Publicity Division to be the head of the Criminal Division?"

So the price for transferring Shirai to the Publicity Department to retire is to find me a section chief from the Publicity Department?
I might as well try to promote Aoki or Akasaka!

"I was also curious at first, but when I heard that it was a direct transfer order from 'the top,' I made a special check...Don't look at the current Inspector Kunikida, who is in the Publicity Section of the General Affairs Department. I looked at his personnel transfer information. Six years ago, he was the head of the Sixth Department of Souichi, and was transferred to the Publicity Section because of a certain case." Iwata said reliably.

Obviously Iwata was also puzzled at first, and...he went directly to investigate what was going on on behalf of Shiraishi.

"Search one? Six years ago..." Bai Shi thought to himself, that was when he had just joined the company, no wonder he didn't recognize him, and then confirmed: "A case?"

"Well, it was a murder case. The defendant did not plead guilty in the end, but he was convicted because the evidence was clear... Although there was nothing clear in the file, I checked the files later and found that the criminal in that case committed suicide in prison shortly afterwards, and... the Sixth Department also applied to the Prosecutor's Office for additional investigation, but was rejected. After that, Inspector Kunikida also resigned voluntarily, but was retained and transferred to the General Affairs Department." Iwata did not explain it clearly.

But Bai Shi already understood what he meant...

After all, this is very similar to what Mihua Agency just experienced!

Iwata also went to ask Souichi's old man, and Kunikida was also a "hardliner" back then, but... his hardliners caused problems!
The difference is that Shirai's improper interrogation was exposed by others, while Kunikida discovered the problems with the case himself, but his application for a review was blocked - looking at the attitude of the Prosecutor's Office this time, we can know what happened six years ago!
In the end, the case was not determined to be a false conviction, but the convicted prisoner committed suicide in prison.

However, Kunikida himself could not accept this result, and after failing to resign, he went to the Publicity Section of the General Affairs Department to "recuperate."

In this way, Bai Shi could understand why "the higher-ups" transferred him here!

The head of Souichi must be a frontline backbone. It is already a waste that he has been idle for six years. Now that Shirai's incident has come out, Shiraishi also wants to reorganize the criminal department and emphasize standardization, so it seems natural to send Kunikida over. Kunikida must be most concerned about "compliance with the investigation process" now.

"The other two detectives are also good and meet your requirements. They are both young. One is a potential newcomer, and the other was also recruited during the search." Iwata had looked at both of them for Shiraishi.

"It was searched? There shouldn't be any flaws, right?" Bai Shi immediately noticed it.

Although Souichi is an elite in the Metropolitan Police Department, but... "transferring down" often means there is a problem, and Shiraishi is not a rag picker!

"It's not a big flaw. This Kogure has participated in solving many major cases in Souichi before. It's just..." Iwata said in a lower voice: "It is said that his mind is not normal after his fiancée dumped him. So give him a new environment to relax. He should still be useful!"

This is the information that Iwata got from gossip! It will definitely not be written in the file...

"So he's just a bootlicker..." Bai Shi curled his lips.

As for the "potential newcomer" or something, Shiraishi didn't ask much. Since he was a "newcomer", Iwata certainly didn't know much...
