Tokyo Detective

Chapter 20 Joint Task Force

The next morning, after working all afternoon yesterday, the portrait investigators finally finished drawing it before 10 o'clock in the evening, and managed to identify two suspects through facial recognition.

Among them, the suspect named Nakajima Ryo is the most likely because he was convicted of forced molestation of an underage girl five years ago and was sentenced to two years in prison.

The other one has a very clean record. The less suspicion there is in this case, the more likely it is that he is the murderer.

On the morning of the third day, because there was enough evidence and clues this time, the Metropolitan Police Department finally started to take action and set up a joint task force of 60 people.

The Chief of the Criminal Department's First Investigation Division (Superintendent Shiratori Tenei) who came down from the headquarters was in charge of the command, and the Deputy Chief of Ota Police Station (Superintendent Shiratori), Sakata Ryoma, was in charge of assisting.

The members who can participate in the operation are all criminal operators from the 102 police stations in Tokyo, including members of the criminal department of the headquarters, such as Miwako Sato, a beautiful and heroic policewoman who she has met once.

Of course, there is also the guy that Hanyu Naoki hates, the head of the 7th Department of the Criminal Investigation Division, Miki Shio.

Mixed in with the ferocious crowd were three people who were not criminal police officers, but small police officers from Yuzhong Police Station.

Naoki Hanyu ignored the eager gazes around him and sat in the front row with Seiko Akimoto and Mai Fujiwara, which instantly made many deputy inspectors and inspectors present feel unhappy.

The young inspection minister actually wanted to ride on their heads and pull stones.

Akimoto Seiko gave a hypocritical smile in response, but Fujiwara Mai was already trembling with fear.

As for Yamashita Kiriju and Yamada Yamato, they were doing the errands of pouring tea and wine and nodding and bowing.

Who told the task force to be arranged in Daejeon General Office? Who told them that they were the lowest in seniority in the criminal department and could only work as part-time slaves?

As for Naoki Hanyu and the others, I'm sorry, if anyone asks, just say we are just a police station, not a special task force, so we are not responsible for running errands.

Shiratori Tianrong stood at the podium and spoke indifferently.

"I will now explain the case in general. Please turn your phone to silent mode. In the past four months, 11 rape cases have occurred in Ota Ward. The perpetrators specifically targeted girls in middle and high school and posted the recorded videos on foreign websites for profit. I suspect it is the same group of people who are responsible."

"Inspector Nohara, please tell me the information you have found."

Nohara Yuichi stood up and said.

"We monitored for a day and found two pieces of clothing on Nakajima Ryo's balcony that were exactly the same as those worn by Prisoner A in the video."

Although this little bit of evidence allowed the police to pin their accusations against Nakajima Ryo, it still could not make the final decision.

Several detectives shook their heads in regret upon hearing this.

"pity."

“The evidence is not strong enough.”

Shiratori Tianrong simply made a comment on this.

"The lower-level criminal police are really talkative."

Naoki Hanyu almost smiled. This boss's words were really harsh.

Shiratori Tianrong took out the plan and continued.

"It is your responsibility to find strong evidence. Please look at the search plan on hand. Teams 1 to 3 will be responsible for guarding the places where multiple crimes have been committed. Teams 4 to 7 will be responsible for tracking and following Nakajima Ryo 24 hours a day."

Everyone looked at the plan. Fujiwara Mai quickly discovered that there was no rest time for the police officers in the plan. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Hanyu Naoki with his eyes.

In this situation, it is best to do more and talk less, not to mention that the three of them are about to be kicked out of the task force, but there are really some fools who don't know.

The newcomer who was borrowed from Shinjuku Police Station asked.

“May I ask why the plan does not include rest time for police officers?”

Shiratori Tianrong replied coldly.

"We don't have that much extra time if we are short of manpower. If a chess piece falls, we just replace it with another one. It's that simple."

"piece?"

The newcomer wanted to refute, but faced with pressure from his boss, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

No one dared to refute this time. After all, he is a senior police officer. How dare you offend him?

After the meeting, Fujiwara Mai said with a look of fear.

"The task force is really scary. There are three of us who are not divided into different groups. Do they look down on the young policemen in the police station?"

Naoki Hanyu echoed.

"It's really scary. They are all elite detectives selected from all over Tokyo. It's not surprising that they look down on the junior policemen."

In fact, Naoki Hanyu has another guess, that is, Shiratori Tenei did it on purpose, and someone wanted to use him to suppress himself.

What does it matter if you dance happily? It will be in vain if you are not the one who gets picked in the end.

At this moment, someone beside him interrupted. It was Sato Miwako. "We are not as scary as Minister Hanyu who shot four prisoners in a month. I only shot one prisoner in half a year. Don't you think so, Seiko?"

Akimoto Seiko nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I also think this new guy is scary and will overthrow his superiors."

"."

Hanyu Naoki asked with a dark face.

"Inspector Sato knows Seiko?"

Akimoto Seiko nodded.

"Well, we were teammates for a while in the Criminal Division, but things have changed and my teammates' police ranks and positions have long since left me behind."

Miwako Sato hugged her friend and made a funny retort.

"You're just pretending to be pitiful. I heard that your name will be on the police inspector's make-up exam in a month. Why are you still pretending?"

"No way, who knows if I can pass the exam."

Naoki Hanyu was immediately surprised that his scheming senior was going to take an exam. He thought that the time mentioned by the deputy signature would take a year or two.

Next, Naoki Hanyu watched the two beauties playing around and couldn't help but start to doubt Sato Miwako's character. Would she also be black if cut open?

Sato Miwako blushed and let go of her friend. They were attacking each other's sensitive areas.

"Minister Hanyu, please give me your guidance. I heard that this case was pushed forward by you. Remember to give me some credit next time."

"You heard wrong."

Naoki Hanyu will not be elated by the compliments of a beautiful woman, let alone a female policewoman.

Three days later, at the joint task force’s briefing meeting.

Shiratori Tianrong's expression became even uglier.

"Please ask each squad to report the situation, starting with the alert squad."

A bald detective stood up.

"The squad members are doing their best to remain alert."

"The next surveillance squad."

"The squad members are doing their best to keep an eye on it."

"The next inspection team."

"In the class."

"Next"

Seeing this, Shiratori Tianrong could no longer remain calm.

"You guys call yourselves the elite detectives of the Metropolitan Police Department, but your teams are working in vain. If the case is not solved every day, the task force will continue to operate, and no one can rest."

At this moment, Hanyu Naoki's cell phone rang, which instantly aroused Shiratori Tenei's hatred. It turned out that the young policeman who was kicked out and was allowed to be an observer out of face for Sakata Ryoma had told him to turn off his cell phone.

Naoki Hanyu ignored the many malicious glances and listened attentively to the call.

This time, Naoki Hanyu and Tenei Shiratori looked at each other, and the fierce momentum stunned the other party.

"Captain Shiratori, Prisoner B is about to commit a crime. Time is running out. I request to lead the team to dispatch."

"Huh, Prisoner B?"

While everyone was still waiting for Prisoner A, Naoki Hanyu had already found Prisoner B.

At this moment the deputy director, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. The young man actually played this trick, which was against the rules.

However, as long as you have a good understanding of White Bird, it is better to make a plan in this way.

Shiratori Tianrong looked coldly at the young and energetic policeman. He should choose between letting him miss this arrest and causing new victims to appear, or letting him lead the team to arrest people.

Although this approach was against the rules, it still made sense. After all, he excluded the three people from Yuzhong Police Station, so it was acceptable for the other party to find clues and not report them.

Shiratori Tianrong finally made a decision. Anyway, suppressing the other party was just a convenient thing for him. Compared with the group of mediocre guys, he really admired the young people.

"Minister Hanyu will be in charge of catching the criminal. Everyone, take action."

Shiratori Tianrong really wanted to know how many minutes a low-level policeman could struggle under "God's will".
