Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 81 I’m here to give a gift to my old leader!
Odagiri looked expressionlessly at what was poured out of the cowhide bag...

"Haha, is it a gift for the one-day director event?" Odagiri knew that this guy's "gifts" must be things like this.

"This is not a gift! It was given to me by Yoko's agent. It's different from the gifts you get at events... I searched online and found out that this is a first edition record!" Shiraishi explained immediately.

Odagiri:......

So it’s still free, right?

Well, this is indeed Bai Shi’s habit…

I always feel that if I use something that comes as a "gift" myself, I'm wasting its premium as a "gift"!

Therefore, all items of "gift" nature will be transferred to Bai Shi.

It is for this reason that Ayako always gives Shiraishi some practical "gifts" - if she gives him a gift box or something like that, Shiraishi will definitely not keep it, and even if it is given by his girlfriend, it will be passed on!
Like a first edition record or something...

If Shiraishi really wanted to listen to it, he would download the electronic version himself!

Such a commemorative item is best used as a gift.

"I'm not interested in music!" Odagiri said with a gloomy face and returned the things.

"Then consider it as a gift for the child..." Bai Shi quickly declined.

Speaking of this, a "well" character suddenly popped up on Odagiri's forehead - you know that my son likes music, right?

Toshio Odagiri's son, Toshiya Odagiri, was rebellious at a young age and started playing rock music two years ago, which caused a strained relationship with his father and he has now been kicked out of the house.

Of course Shiraishi also knew about this. When he first joined the "pair", Odagiri Toshi was only 16 years old. Shiraishi witnessed the breakup between father and son from the beginning.

For children...

Seeing that he was talking about something irrelevant, Odagiri said through gritted teeth: "Get lost."

"Don't be angry! You see... I just gave the gift, and I haven't said what I want to do yet..." Bai Shi said politely.

You want me to do something just for a gift, right?
Odagiri was also in a headache, so he had to wave his hand and said, "What can you do here? When the Beihua Police Department handles criminal cases, the Metropolitan Police Department has never interfered too much, right?"

Now Odagiri is no longer Shiraishi's superior. Although his police rank is still higher than Shiraishi and his power is undoubtedly greater, the director's superior is the director of the headquarters, and his superior is the deputy director general and director general. He has no direct subordinate relationship with the "criminal minister".

Of course, they are definitely related in terms of their positions. In theory, the criminal cases in the police station can be directly investigated, supervised, and handled by the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"That's what I wanted to say... When I got to the police station, I realized that the search conditions there are so poor! In a police station as big as Mihua Police Station, the technical team consists of a few recent college graduates, and there are no forensic doctors at all. The technical support provided for the search is seriously insufficient! So I was wondering if you could approve some..."

Before Shiraishi could finish his words, Odagiri said directly: "You have a good idea. Go back and think about it slowly."

Shiraishi:……

"You see, the Mika Police Station is also a large police station. It would be reasonable to transfer some technical personnel and a few forensic doctors, right?" Shiraishi still spoke out his idea with gritted teeth.

"How dare you say that? Do you want me to transfer the people from the Science and Research Institute to work for you? And forensic doctors...how many forensic doctors are there in the Metropolitan Police Department?" Odagiri scolded him with a dark face, and then said, still not satisfied, "I think you look like a forensic doctor!"

"I do have a forensic doctor certificate... You forgot, my master's degree is in forensic medicine. Otherwise, I can ask the agency to approve an autopsy qualification for me." Bai Shi's eyes lit up and he reminded in a low voice.

Odagiri:......

In theory, the Beihua Police Department does have "forensic doctors". Shiraishi is a real forensic doctor, and his skills are quite good.

But having a forensic certificate alone is useless!
Not to mention that an autopsy cannot be performed by one person alone, it requires assistants and special equipment, and more importantly, the qualification for an autopsy is given to "institutions" rather than "individuals."

Shiraishi's forensic certificate can only be used to find work. He is not in a qualified institution and has no authority to perform autopsies. Even with the consent of the family members, he is not allowed to do so. In serious cases, it would be considered as the crime of destroying a corpse.

"For cases that cannot be solved, hand them over to Souichi. The police station in Touto is not originally equipped to investigate difficult and unsolved cases!" Odagiri reminded him - it was you who insisted on looking for trouble.

"I just want to make progress!" Shiraishi has a strong physique, but at this moment he is smiling playfully. He only behaves like this in front of his old boss.

Odagiri thought it was an excuse, but thinking about Shiraishi's uncertain future, it's not impossible that he wanted to solve more cases independently for the sake of "progress", so...

"In terms of scientific investigation, I can only approve a few quotas for the Beihua Agency. After that, you have to find a way to recruit people yourself. There is no one in the main office for you! As for forensic doctors..." Odagiri paused.

"Don't even think about it! It's impossible to give the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department autopsy qualifications. However, recently, the Eastern Capital has established an organization called UDI, which is a semi-civilian and semi-official agency for commissioned autopsies. The person in charge is Director Kamikura, who is a trustworthy person. I'll give you his contact information later."

"UDI...can the main store reimburse me?" Shiraishi had heard of this organization before.

"Heh." Odagiri just sneered at Shiraishi's question. Obviously not!
If it is determined to be a criminal case, the police station can still be used to file the case. Sometimes the university's forensic department is commissioned to perform an autopsy. The process is also the same, but it is more convenient to find UDI. After all, if the case is sent to the university's forensic department, the process is very slow and the autopsy items are very rigid. Most professors just read out the script - Shiraishi understands this very well. After all, when he was a graduate student, he also helped dissect the bodies sent by the police!
If it cannot be confirmed that it is a criminal case and no case has been filed, the family members can only go to find UDI at their own expense.

"The people at the head office are still so proud and out of touch with reality. They don't understand the difficulties of our police station at all..." Shiraishi muttered in a low voice.

Odagiri:! ! !

You've only been to the branch for a few days and you're already talking about "head office, head office"?

"Take your records and get out."

"Here, take, take... for the children, for the children... If you are afraid of gossip, I'll take two cans of tea..."

"roll!"

……

Shiraishi forced Minister Odagiri to accept the gift, and was then kicked out.

After all, Odagiri finally made some promises. If he didn't accept the gift, Shiraishi would feel uneasy...

However, Bai Shi was also afraid that he would feel uneasy, so before being kicked out, Bai Shi took two small cans of tea from the cabinet nearby.

What Odagiri agreed to was much smaller than Shiraishi had imagined!
In terms of scientific search, I was only given a staffing position, which was within Bai Shi's expectations. After all, it was unrealistic to ask for people directly from the head office. If I really gave them a position, Bai Shi would wonder if they were just giving me a "defective product"?
As for the forensic doctor...

Then it is not a staffing issue. It is not just about hiring one person, but there must be "autopsy qualification", and this qualification must be given to the institutional entity.

Directly granting the Mihua Bureau "autopsy qualifications" is a much more serious matter than giving it a few positions.

Shiraishi originally wanted to hope that Minister Odagiri could "say hello" and ask the forensic doctor of the Metropolitan Police Department's Identification Division to help out occasionally...

But Odagiri obviously couldn't say hello!

After all, this requires the issuance of a certificate of legal effect, not something that can be done privately, and...there are not enough forensic doctors in the Metropolitan Police Department.

So Odagiri introduced UDI to Shiraishi...

Shiraishi had heard of it before. In theory, it was a private autopsy agency, but a large part of its funding came from grants from the Metropolitan Police Department and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and they would cooperate with the police accordingly.

Of course, Shiraishi's Rice Flower Department has no authority to ask for cooperation, and it seems that the head office will not reimburse the expenses, so they can only... pay for it themselves!
As long as the family agrees and is willing to pay, UDI will accept private autopsy commissions, and the autopsy results will be legally binding.

This is more than Shiraishi imagined. He directly used the Metropolitan Police Department's forensic department for free, and now he has to pay for it himself...

However, Shiraishi also understood Odagiri and knew that it would be useless to say anything more, as this was already the limit!
After that, Shiraishi did not leave the Metropolitan Police Department, but came to the clerical section of the police department...

dong dong dong-

"Section Chief Iwata, I'm coming in!" Shiraishi heard the voice inside and pushed the door open.

"Hey, isn't this the iron-faced and impartial Director Shiraishi? What's the matter with your visit?" Iwata said sarcastically.

In the previous Otani case, Shiraishi once again wasted Iwata's good intentions - this matter actually had nothing to do with Iwata, he was just "angry at him for not fighting back."

but……

This kind of thing has happened countless times before, and Iwata's dissatisfaction index is far lower than when Shiraishi continued to investigate Minister Inukai without telling him!
"Don't say that! We still need the people from your head office to take care of us... Look, I'm here to give you a gift," Bai Shi said as he casually put out two small cans of tea.

Iwata:……

……

After giving gifts to his old boss and friends in the confidential department, Shiraishi did not go to the police station in the afternoon. Ayako said that she wanted to celebrate her promotion - although she had been promoted a long time ago and this was just a make-up assessment, Shiraishi still thoughtfully accepted the invitation.

Now that Bai Shi's left arm has recovered to the point where he can use about 60% of his strength, he can naturally drive himself...

Because Shiraishi "does not drink and drive", Ayako drank two glasses of red wine by herself and was a little tipsy after the candlelight dinner.

When Shiraishi asked, the drunk Ayako could no longer tell where she lived.

Although the two are boyfriend and girlfriend, but... the Suzuki family has too many properties in Toudou, and Shiraishi doesn't know where she lives now!
However... the clever Shiraishi deduced from Ayako's clothing, the location of the invitation, and other factors that she was currently living in a villa in the port area, and he sent her back safely.

Ayako:……
