Chapter 609 A Long-Awaited Battle Side by Side

The bomb disposal operation at Beika Department Store was undoubtedly a life-or-death mission, but Wataru Takagi was still willing to accompany Miwako Sato to the scene.

Such a friendship commanded the utmost respect from the many officers in the Criminal Investigation Department.

Even Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo was impressed with Takagi Wataru because he couldn't go to the bomb disposal site with Sato Miwako.

The Shiratori Group can't do without him now.

Moreover, his sister is getting married soon, so he can only act without any worries after his sister's wedding.

However, looking at Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi...

Shiratori Ninzaburo suddenly remembered something that Takagi Wataru had mentioned to him.

—At Teitan Elementary School, there is a female teacher who looks very much like Officer Sato Miwako, and we hope he will go and take a look.

He was somewhat puzzled by this.

Where do so many coincidences come from in this world? Are there really so many people with the same face?
However, since he is now prepared to withdraw from the competition with Wataru Takagi, it wouldn't hurt to visit Teitan Elementary School another day.

"In that case, please have the officers from the Forced Crime Investigation Unit 3 take charge of the Beika Shopping Mall area. You may proceed."

Department Head Odagiri said.

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako solemnly raised her hand in salute to everyone in the conference room, and the senior police officers in the conference room also raised their hands in return.

Afterwards, the officers from the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Department left the meeting room and headed to Beika Department Store.

"Next, I will wait here for the other faxes to arrive."

"If there are other faxes, I will decipher their contents immediately and inform you of the suspicious locations via the communicator."

Hakuba Saguru then said.

He was surprised by the major events happening in Tokyo, even though he had heard about them before while he was abroad.

However, upon returning to Tokyo, he discovered that the frequency of these major events was much higher than he had anticipated.

However, since we've already returned to Tokyo...

So naturally he would help his father resolve all these issues.

Once Tokyo calms down, he can catch the spider, leave Tokyo, return to England, and continue his studies.

"If possible, please also send a copy of the information to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

A sound came from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's conference room.

However, many senior officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department turned pale upon hearing this.

Well known.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have always been at odds, and conflicts between them have been frequent. How could anyone dare to say such a thing in a meeting room?

However, just as they looked up...

The gleaming gold watch came into view, and immediately, everyone understood—

This is the gold watch team member who recently returned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters from elsewhere.

"This matter also involves public safety issues, therefore, it is necessary for the Japanese Public Security Bureau to intervene in this incident."

"On behalf of the investigators of the Public Security Planning Division of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, I request your cooperation."

"Please, for my sake, set aside your past grievances with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and cooperate with us temporarily in solving this case."

A member of the gold watch division of the Japanese Public Security Bureau stated this.

His gaze was earnest, and even disregarding the gold watch, the attitudes of the many senior police officers in the conference room changed solely based on his performance.

The reason why conflicts always break out between the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is...

One reason is that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Japanese Public Security Bureau is too arrogant and always abuses its power, forcing Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers to cooperate with its operations.

Since the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Japanese Public Security Bureau has been able to put aside their arrogance, there is no need for them to dwell on this issue too much.

"Clear."

"However, this operation will be led by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and we cannot change our course based on their orders." "If you can accept this, then we welcome you to join forces with us in solving this case."

Superintendent General White Horse gave the final approval, and the members of the Gold Watch Group had no objections.

He's not a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's public security force, so what does it have to do with him if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department loses face?
As long as the matter can be resolved and the task asked of the police planning officer has been completed, nothing else matters.

Standing next to the gold watch group member, Kazami Yuya nodded slightly, secretly admiring how useful the gold watch of the gold watch group member was.

If only he could have a gold watch too.

He might not be in his current position in the Public Security Planning Department.

At this point, he couldn't help but think of his former superior, Rei Furuya, who had most likely died in the fight against the Black Organization.

After graduating from the police academy, Rei Furuya became an inspector in the Public Security Planning Division.

If he were still alive, working alongside the Gold Watch Group members, he might have had a chance to rise through the ranks. Unfortunately, that opportunity is gone now.

"Alright, stop standing there."

"Everyone in the conference room, get moving right now! Time is of the essence, we can't waste any more time here."

Superintendent General Hakuba said.

Upon hearing this, the numerous senior police officers in the conference room stood up simultaneously, saluted Superintendent Whitehorse, and hurriedly left.

Time is indeed tight this time.

They had to immediately assemble their respective police teams and head to the hospitals, where bombs might have been planted, to conduct bomb disposal operations.

"By the way, Father."

"Three years ago, were there any patrol teams from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department near Beika Central Hospital, which was the site of a prisoner's bombing?"

"Perhaps he will plant another bomb inside the Mikasa Central Hospital this time."

"The probability is quite high, and it must be ruled out immediately."

Hakuba Saguru seemed to remember something and said...

Upon hearing this, Superintendent White Horse hesitated for a moment before picking up the internal phone and dialing the operator to inquire about the situation.

Then the operator replied.

"Superintendent General, the closest officer to Beika Central Hospital is Inspector Kenmochi, who just returned from a mission in Nagano Prefecture."

————The sword-wielding police department?
Superintendent General Hakuba was taken aback.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Send Inspector Kenmochi to Beika Central Hospital to investigate. Also, is Inspector Zenigata of the International Criminal Investigation Department still in Tokyo?"

"That's what the operator replied."

"Inspector Zenigata left two days ago."

"Because of Lupin III's bank vault robbery incidents in other parts of Japan, Inspector Zenigata left in a hurry that day."

Koichi Zenagata?

Hakuba Saguru thought of this person.

He remembered the famous detective who specialized in hunting down Lupin III, but unfortunately he didn't get to meet him this time.

The gold watch group member next to him also commented.

"We'll take the lead too."

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will need some time to deploy personnel. We will connect the communication channel later, and please inform us of the location and direction."

Members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also left.

Before leaving, Kazami Yuya vaguely sensed a dangerous atmosphere in Tokyo that night.

He could only hope that nothing unexpected would happen tonight.
