Conan: The man who rejects the Criminal Department

Chapter 71 70. The meeting ceremony of the factions

"Is it because of that organization?" Zong Tuozai could only think of this answer after much thought. Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"Yes, it's because of the organization whose members are codenamed after alcohol. In view of your suspicion in the report that there is an undercover agent of theirs in the headquarters."

"So this report was handed over to absolutely reliable members of the faction, and then the report was submitted to the White Horse Police Chief."

"Hakuba Police Director?!" Zou Takuya was surprised. Could it be that the leader of the hawks in this department is actually the Police Director? But it makes no sense at all!

If we look at the behavior of the hawks within the department, and if their leader is the police chief, then the Tokyo police's case-handling style will definitely not be so gentle.

On the contrary, it should be similar to the Osaka Prefectural Police.

Perhaps he had the same question at the time. After seeing Sotakuya's shocked face, Inaba Kazuma quickly explained: "The Hakuba Police Chief is not a member of our faction."

"To be precise, the White Horse Police Director should be considered a neutral faction. The dove faction within the department is very afraid of our rise to the top. We also don't want the cowards of the dove faction to continue to occupy high positions."

"The White Horse Police Chief, who belongs to the neutral faction, is a masterpiece of compromise between the two sides. Of course, the Police Chief's own abilities are also particularly important."

"The White Horse Police Chief has made outstanding contributions to the reconciliation of the two factions in the past few years since he took office, and the Police Department has also developed accordingly under his hands."

Sotakuya knew very well that if the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Department succeeded, how could Kyouichiro Fukuyama and Kazumasa Inaba be suddenly promoted.

He unexpectedly selected the most suitable candidate for the police chief.

After serving tea, Sotakuya immediately expressed his position to Inaba Kazumasa: "Director, where should my work focus next?"

In addition to being under the jurisdiction of the Police Chief, the Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Department must also be subject to the dispatches of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Department. In some cases, the Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Department even looks a lot like a subordinate organization of the National Police Department’s Public Security Department.

"The Ministry of Public Security has uncovered some clues and is seizing the time to conduct in-depth investigations."

Very few people have a favorable impression of the Ministry of Public Security.

The same agency even needs to accept the leadership of two parties. In addition to the political struggle, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Department are naturally not very popular within the department.

"This organization hiding in the shadow of Japan is actually not just an underground organization, it is also a large-scale transnational criminal group."

"Speaking of which, it's not just me and the section chief who were promoted this time. You, Takuya, are also within the scope of this promotion. After all, you led your subordinates to complete the report."

With such an arrangement, the police chief obviously does not believe in the doves who are good to me and everyone. Instead, he needs to rely on the hawks to investigate the organization in depth.

After offering tea to Inaba Kazumasa, Sotakuya stood up and offered a cup of tea to Suzuki Shiro. Suzuki Shiro accepted Sotakuya's thanks with a smile.

Most of the time, you help me and I help you, taking care of me and everyone is in a good situation.

Kazumasa Inaba was very pleased with Sotakuya's question. What the faction needed was not just business talents with excellent professional abilities. Talents like Sotakuya with excellent business abilities and proficiency in the workplace would be the mainstay of the faction in the future.

The Organized Crime Countermeasures Department is still the exclusive domain of the hawks in the headquarters. So Takuya only needs to gain experience through promotion within the department step by step, and he will be able to obtain the best resources and training within the faction.

After all, Erwuzi is not welcome anywhere.

"At the same time, your police rank will be promoted from police department to police."

"Did you make it?"

Knowing how to be grateful is one of the main reasons why the Suzukis like Sotakuya's child.

Hearing the words "Ministry of Public Security" come from Inaba Kazumasa's mouth, Sotakuya sneered subconsciously. Their organized crime countermeasures department and the Ministry of Public Security had been looking down on each other for more than a day or two.

Sotakuya knew even more clearly that Suzuki Shiro on the side might have played a big role in this. At the very least, the identity of a guarantor could not be escaped.

He knew this was a signal that the hawks officially accepted him.

But the Ministry of Public Security is different.

Regarding the situation at the Ministry of Public Security, Inaba Kazumasa was vague. His level was not high enough so he couldn't make it so obvious. Then he changed the subject and brought the topic to Sotakuya.

So Inaba Kazumasa was willing to let Sotakuya know more: "Soon you will step down from the post of director of the Narcotics Countermeasures Office and take over the position of management officer of the General Affairs Division."

Also dissatisfied with the Ministry of Public Security is the Criminal Department.

Inaba Kazumasa said, raising his teacup and saluting Sotakuya, who immediately stood up and drank the tea in one gulp, holding the teacup flat with both hands.

Part of the reason why they look down upon each other is because both the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department and the Criminal Department have some departments whose powers overlap with those of the Ministry of Public Security.

"Not only will you be the manager of the General Affairs Division, you will also serve as an assistant to the head of the General Affairs Division in the future."

"The section chief knew that I was going to meet with you today, so he asked me to convey his congratulations to you."

"I think the Public Security Department of our headquarters should have succeeded, but it is a pity." Kazumasa Inaba agreed with Sotakuya's view, as long as he is a police officer from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department and the Criminal Department.

Of course, this is not the main reason, because our organized crime countermeasures department and the criminal department also have some overlapping powers, but the relationship between the two departments is much more harmonious.

"The Ministry of Public Security has three tricks in total: they send undercover agents, break into people's homes, torture them to extract confessions, and install wiretaps. I guess those people from the Ministry of Public Security must have sent undercover insiders to that organization."

The first two sentences of Inaba Kazumasa are still normal personnel appointments. So Takuya, as a manager from the professional team, will basically not hold deputy positions in the early stages of his career.

After taking a sip of tea, Inaba Kazumasa continued in a deep voice: "When the faction handed the report to the Hakuba Police Chief, he told us a piece of news that surprised us all."

Therefore, it is natural to serve as the management officer of the General Affairs Section.

As a former hawk, Inaba Kazumasa highly recognized the work of Hakuba Police Chief. He did not expect that he had no choice but to compromise.

It's just Inaba Kazumasa's last arrangement that made Sotakuya's eyes gleam. The assistant section chief can also be understood as the assistant section chief, which is different from the assistant and secretary in the ordinary sense.

The principal's assistant is mainly to assist the principal of the class in the management work in the classroom. Under normal circumstances, there will not be an assistant position in the classroom.

Unless the top leader is too immature and unable to suppress the arrogant warriors in the classroom, the headquarters will dispatch veteran police officers who are responsible and responsible to serve as assistants as appropriate.

Obviously this will not be the case for Inaba Kazumasa, so the only thing left is

Is Inaba planning to unite himself to reduce the power of the next director?

So Takuya thought carefully. If nothing unexpected happens, the next director of the General Affairs Division should be the current manager. So there is something wrong with the current manager?
