Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

"I am Mune Takuya, Counselor of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. I will give my phone number to the head of the Criminal Division of your police station."

  After returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, Sotakuya used the landline phone in the counselor's office to call the police station in charge of the Lavender Manor case.

  The person who answered the phone was the secretary of the criminal section chief. Zong Takuya bluntly stated that a secretary was not high enough and asked his leader to answer the phone.

  "Councilor Zong, I am Kameda, the criminal section chief of the xx police station. What instructions do you have?"

  The criminal section chief of the Shikoku Police Station was very flattering to Sotakuya's call, not to mention that Sotakuya was much higher in rank than him.

  A call coming directly to his office from the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Police's Criminal Division didn't look like a good thing.

  Due to historical reasons, the Japanese military and police were very uncooperative on both sides.

  The police look down upon the Self-Defense Forces, and the Self-Defense Forces look down upon the police.

  This is a huge contradiction.

  Within the police, the relationship between the criminal police and the public security police is not very harmonious.

  The authority of the public security police is higher than that of ordinary criminal police, which means that sometimes the public security police will have a tougher attitude when taking over a certain case from the criminal police.

  Over time, the two sides naturally had deep grudges.

  In Tokyo, the conflicts between the two parties have indeed eased a lot since Sotakuya worked in both the public security and criminal department.

  This is part of the reason why the deputy director of the National Police Agency placed Sotakuya in the security planning section.

  On the surface, the National Police Agency has no jurisdiction over the Metropolitan Police Department. In principle, the Metropolitan Police Department should be under the leadership of the Tokyo Public Safety Commission.

  Just like local police stations will not be under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department, but should obey the leadership of the local Public Security Commission.

  But in fact, the National Police Agency, which controls the personnel power of the Metropolitan Police Department, basically has absolute control over the Metropolitan Police Department.

  Not to mention that every police chief is basically transferred from the chief of the police department.

  Similarly, although the Metropolitan Police Department has no jurisdiction over local police stations, it has the power to appoint and remove personnel at local police headquarters.

  Therefore, for local police departments, the status of the Metropolitan Police Department is transcendent.

  No wonder the criminal section chief of the Shikoku Police Station was so weak when faced with a call from Sotakuya.

  "Tell me about the Lavender Manor case. Tell me everything in detail." So Takuya suppressed the anger in his heart and asked the director of the Shikoku Criminal Division.

  "Lavender Manor" Shikoku Criminal Section Chief hesitated for a moment. He didn't know what happened today before the police asked him for the file on this case, but he pushed it back.

  Did the counselor of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department call over?

  "This case is actually the responsibility of the search department. The specific situation may require the police officer responsible for the investigation to communicate with you."

  The head of the Criminal Division noticed something was wrong, and he didn't want to take responsibility and was ready to push his subordinates out to take the blame.

  The beads of his abacus were almost stretched to Tokyo Sotakuya's face.

  After hearing the answer from the Chief of Criminal Investigation, Zong Takuya said expressionlessly into the phone: "How many criminal cases does your police station have throughout the year?

  It can't be busier than Tokyo Search Class [-], right?

  Lavender Manor. You don’t understand a case of such a heinous nature. What else can you do as the head of the Criminal Division?
  I will report your malfeasance to this department and wait for punishment. "

  So Takuya's light words made Criminal Division Chief Kameda feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

  With Mune Takuya's current status, it would be a huge crime to report to the Metropolitan Police Department the dereliction of duty of a local police chief. In the internal struggle of the Metropolitan Police Department, the loser can go to Qingshui Yamen for early retirement or retire early.

  But these consequences can at least guarantee the last trace of dignity after failure.

  The benefits and pensions you deserve will not be less.

  But once Kameda is charged with dereliction of duty, what awaits him will be dismissal from public office and directly purged from the police force.

  It would be merciful not to be held accountable.

  You don’t have to think about the benefits and pensions you should have.

  Kameda immediately panicked. Why is this counselor at the Metropolitan Police Department so ignorant of the ways of the world? !
  He just wanted to shirk responsibility. Why did you just flip the table over?

  Kameda didn’t care whether Sotakuya could see it or not, he immediately bowed and apologized to Sotakuya repeatedly: “Counsellor, I know, I know the Lavender Manor case!
  I’ll tell you right now, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know! "

  Although Sotakuya had already sentenced Section Chief Kameda to death in his heart, it did not prevent him from getting first-hand information about the Lavender Manor case from Kameda.

  "Let me ask you, why was the investigation of the case restarted a few months later when the deceased had been ruled a suicide?"

  "It's because the criminal police who originally investigated the case found new clues in the manor." Kameda replied after hesitating for a moment.

  "The clues discovered by the criminal police investigating the case?" Zong Takuya continued to ask nonchalantly: "Isn't that right? How come I heard that the clues were discovered by outside detectives?

  Is there something wrong with my messaging channel? "

  Sotakuya's understatement was like thunder in Kameda's ears.

  Kameda, who originally wanted to avoid the important and take the easy way out, had no choice but to tell the truth.

  “Red bean puree smi masai!

  Counselor Zong, your source of information is correct. A detective has indeed provided us with new clues. "

  "Oh, after many months, the detectives discovered new clues. Can you tell me what the new clues are, enough to restart your investigation?"

  "It was some cut screw heads that the detective showed us the murderer's tactics, and the criminal police officer in charge of the case decided to restart the investigation of the Lavender Manor case."

  “What do those sheared screws look like?”

  "what?"

  "Newness, size, appearance. Are you a fucking detective?!" So Takuya, whose patience finally ran out, cursed Kameda directly on the phone.

  The stupid bureaucrats in these places are like stubborn donkeys. If you talk to them nicely, they will think you are being deceived and fooled.

  You have to scold them to let them know who is the boss.

  Kameda, who was scolded bloody by Sotakuya, seemed to be inspired by his own potential, and immediately recalled the appearance of those screws that were used as evidence.

  "Those screws that were cut off are pretty new."

  "Where were these screws found?"

  "On the lawn outside the window of the victim's room in the manor."

  Hearing this answer, Sotakuya's blood boiled directly. Such an idiot could actually sit in the position of the chief of the criminal section of the police station!
  “You still fucking think that maid is the murderer?
  Those iron screws were thrown on the lawn and exposed to wind, sun and rain for several months, but they were still as good as new? !

  Do the detectives in your police station have shit in their heads from top to bottom? !
  After all, there is still something in shit, but you don’t even have shit in your brain! "(End of chapter)
