Conan: The man who rejects the Criminal Department

Chapter 83 81. Witness Protection Plan

"Is he just a peripheral member of that organization really important enough to require a witness protection plan?"

So Takuya concealed Miyano Akemi's name when reporting to Fukuyama Kyouichiro, and Fukuyama Kyouichiro had no grudge against this.

They have all worked their way up from the front line, so they naturally understand the importance of confidentiality.

The less one person knows, the less the risk of leaks. This is something that those "doves" who come from office backgrounds and have never been to the front line in person and can only talk on paper will never understand.

The reason why Fukuyama Kyouichiro asked Sotakuya this question was that the witness protection plan involved too many departments, which was beyond the control of him as a counselor of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.

This plan must be reported to the police chief for him to make a decision.

On the other hand, even Sotakuya has not caught other peripheral members, and Kameyama Taro is one of them. He has not taken out any particularly important information from Kameyama Taro's mouth.

As for the witness protection program itself

The United States already has a mature operation method. They only need to copy the homework answers and make slight modifications according to local conditions.

It's just a matter of approving a little more funding.

Kyouichiro Fukuyama would like to remind Sotakuya that if he made such a big noise at the beginning of the establishment of the special investigation team, there would not be enough gains in the follow-up.

When listening to Sotakuya's report, Hakuba Police Chief's smile did not change at all.

Except for the fact that he has gained some weight due to his age and working in the office all the time, Zong Takuya can vaguely see the demeanor of this police chief when he was young.

"In fact, he attaches great importance to this organization, otherwise he would not have agreed to your witness protection plan so quickly."

Compared with Sotakuya's unsatisfactory investigation, the investigation by Morofushi Takaaki and Gunada Ikumi was much smoother. A famous detective and an elite criminal policeman.

On the way back to the headquarters, Fukuyama Kyouichiro reminded Sotakuya: "Don't look at the Hakuba police chief who just acted as if he doesn't care."

Obviously, we can't focus on the countryside, we still have to focus on the city.

This alone is enough to make Zong Takuya very busy.

Hakuba Police Chief did not stay with Sotakuya for long, and let them leave after a few words about work with Fukuyama Kyouichiro. As the Police Chief, he handled a lot of work every day.

And in front of Sotakuya, he told his assistant to send coordination letters to the departments involved in the plan.

Finally, Kyouichiro Fukuyama patted Sotakuya firmly on the shoulder at the door of the office, turned around and walked into the office.

Fortunately, hard work paid off, and Zong Takuya finally found a few suitable cities as options for joining the witness protection program.

In the next few days, in the office area of ​​the Special Investigation Team, only Makoto Asai could occasionally be seen holding the documents, while So Takuya, Gunada Ikumi, and Morofuku Gaoming were all busy on their own.

This cannot be accomplished simply by moving to a new city.

What's more, the existence of the informant book has made Sotakuya's game much less difficult. He simply added to Kyouichiro Fukuyama: "According to the informant, this witness is probably related to a middle-level person within the winery."

It also has a large number of peripheral members, and these peripheral members have connected with many preliminary members who want to get involved in the winery.

His impression score with the police chief will probably be greatly reduced.

After listening to Sotakuya's report, the Hakuba police chief thought for a moment, and then agreed with Sotakuya's opinion of launching a witness protection plan.

Different from his seriousness in reporting situations, the Hakuba police chief in private looks more like Shiro Suzuki, with a smile on his face from the moment So Takuya walked in.

Above the peripheral members are middle-level cadres like Tequila who are famous for their wine.

It has to be said that Hakuba Police Chief's straightforwardness was completely unexpected by Sotakuya. He originally thought that even if things went smoothly, it would take some time before he would be notified that the plan was approved.

According to the clues compiled by Sotakuya, this organization called the winery has its own undercover agents within the Metropolitan Police Department.

This kind of simple investigation work is very convenient for them.

It's really unexpected.

Although this is not the first time that Sotakuya has met Police Chief Hakuba, a man who stands at the top of the entire Metropolitan Police Department and is also one of the most powerful people in the entire Japanese police community.

Now it seems that my progress is somewhat delayed?

If that SSR is not the middle level of the winery, the worst possible outcome is to investigate in the direction of tequila, and maybe there will be a new breakthrough.

The United States was able to set up a witness protection program because their territory was large enough, but Japan as a whole was just that big. Based on Mune Takuya's judgment about the winery, it would not be easy to find a suitable place to stay.

So Takuya is not sure whether the so-called SSR informant is a middle-level manager of the winery. His words actually leave him some room. The winery member codenamed Tequila appears many times in the clues he has.

.

But this is really the first time we have met in private like this.

"Takuya, we are all supporting you behind the scenes, don't let everyone down and don't let the police chief down."

Fukuyama Kyouichiro used the intercom to communicate with the Police Superintendent's Office, and then took Sotakuya to the room that was at the apex of power in the entire headquarters.

Smart people will seize these opportunities and make great changes from then on.

Not only the progress and gains and losses of the case, but also whether Sotakuya's radicalization will affect the entire faction.

As for their senior officials, it's not easy to make a judgment because Zong Takuya doesn't have enough clues at the moment.

"So I think the witness protection plan is still necessary as a guarantee to eliminate his worries."

He is indeed a man who can capture the hearts of British ladies.

"I understand if I can get in touch with the middle management of that organization." Kyouichiro Fukuyama carefully weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Now that he is in this position, he has more things to consider.

So Takuya is busy promoting the witness protection plan, including finding some suitable residences for witnesses in advance to start a new life.

However, Akemi Miyano, a peripheral member of SR, might be the breakthrough for them to understand and get closer to the winery.

"This also means that after the plan starts to be implemented, your investigation team must at least come up with some tangible results to respond to the police director's green light."

"This witness is very important to us." Zong Takuya thought for a moment and then made up his mind. The opportunities that we can encounter in life are limited.

"This matter of coming with me needs to be discussed with the White Horse Police Director."

As for some particularly remote and remote places, they are also not considered by Zong Takuya. The witnesses are here to start a new life, not to be exiled.

Whether to slow down or stick to his guns now depends on Sotakuya's own decision.

Soon it was time for intelligence gathering, and the Special Investigation Team of the General Affairs Division reunited in their office area after a long absence. So Takuya took the lead in sharing his progress.

"You all should have heard of the Witness Protection Plan. This is something I specifically applied to this department to protect important witnesses of our investigation team."

"As for whether Miyano Akemi is qualified to start the witness protection program, it will be judged based on the results of your investigation."

"Then who's going to talk next?"
