Conan: Nakamura-kun is forced to be almighty

After returning to Tokyo after the festival, Nakamura received a notice of the meeting.

I entered the Metropolitan Police Department early the next morning. Before I arrived at the Fourth Department Office, I was called away by the Memu Police Department waiting outside and went directly to the large conference hall of the Criminal Department for a meeting.

The venue was crowded with a group of solemn-looking police officers. A quick glance revealed that they were all police officers from the police department and above.

Search Section 1, Search Section 2, Search Section 3, General Affairs Section, Science Search Office, Identification Section, Support Analysis Center, Mobile Patrol Team, all eight departments of the Criminal Department sent representatives to attend the meeting.

Nakamura was about to sit quietly in the back row, but was pushed to the front row by the Memu Police Department.

A quick glance revealed that all the police officers in this row were sitting, and their positions were basically management officers.

There is a nameplate in front of the seat, and next to Nakamura is the management officer of Section 2.

There is a long table set up on the stage, and sitting in the center is the Minister of Criminal Affairs - Odagiri Toshiro.

The section chiefs of each section were lined up on the left and right of the minister, and Police Matsumoto was also prominently among them.

Police Matsumoto was originally just the officer in charge of the Forced Crime Department of the First Investigation Division, and there were 12 other officers besides him in the First Investigation Division.

At this moment, Inspector Matsumoto was sitting on top of the stage, which undoubtedly meant that he was about to be promoted to the head of the First Investigation Division.

Nakamura's current position, if nothing else goes wrong, means that he will take over Matsumoto's original position as a management officer.

However, in fact, he was promoted to the police department two years ago and was still the head of the fourth department of criminal investigation.

Although this fourth department is almost a newly established department, Nakamura, a police officer with no background, was promoted so quickly only because his ability to solve crimes is so outstanding that no one can cover up his shine.

Normally, as a quasi-professional group, you have to be twenty-nine to be promoted to the police department, and you have to be about thirty-five to be promoted to the police.

Nakamura's promotion speed is almost as fast as a rocket, and can even catch up with the end of the professional group's promotion speed.

Among them, Nakamura completely avoided those gossiping meetings because he was in a coma for a month. It was simply a stroke of luck.

The first step in the meeting process is to summarize the work handled by the Criminal Department in recent times, of which the focus is naturally the work of the Search Section 1.

With the high incidence of criminal cases in recent times, the Investigation Division 1 has received unprecedented attention as the main force in handling cases.

In this quarter, the case with the deepest and widest impact was the abduction case solved by the team led by Nakamura.

After Nakamura was unconscious after the interrogation, the fourth department took the results of the interrogation, combined with the third department and other relevant departments, not only successfully arrested the two remaining female members of the trafficking gang, but also followed the lead and found several people who were engaged in human trafficking and illegal organ trafficking. underground organization.

And a big fish was caught, but the clues and follow-up processing related to the big fish were completely taken over by the Ministry of Public Security, and the Criminal Department had no right to intervene.

All departments of the Metropolitan Police Department are both independent and interrelated.

Solving this major case was the effort of all departments, and the core contribution was undoubtedly the team led by Nakamura.

The complete and detailed transcript interrogated by Nakamura and compiled by Ito is almost a guiding light for subsequent actions.

The senior officials here have all seen that special transcript, and naturally they have a little more recognition for reports like the Metropolitan Police Department's Ray of Hope.

Especially after Nakamura became famous, the reputation of detectives within the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was greatly suppressed.

While other regions promote the role of detectives, their style of painting is different.

The police officers from the Criminal Department had naturally heard of Nakamura, and were somewhat curious about what kind of person he was.

It's just that Nakamura doesn't like to socialize and is completely a workaholic. After becoming a police officer, entertainment activities such as sororities are even more pushy.

Now that I heard that many details in the case were related to Nakamura, I naturally couldn't help but pay more attention out of curiosity.

Nakamura's position was in the front row, and the feeling of everyone's attention on stage and off made him really want to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in.

But you have to keep a smile and a calm look on your face, and it feels like every day is like a year.

After the summary is the commendation meeting, which includes job promotion and work debriefing sessions.

The first person to receive the commendation was Police Inspector Matsumoto, who was promoted from the management officer to the chief of the First Investigation Section.

Police Matsumoto has obviously made adequate preparations. After his promotion speech, the long-lasting applause in the venue proved this.

Afterwards, the section chief of the Science Search Institute made a report on his work.

……

Nakamura felt a chill go down his spine after discovering that the other people's speeches were quite beautiful.

No one told him that he needed to write a work report, and it was too late for him to write it now! !

When Nakamura was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, it was the management officer's turn to give his promotion speech. As a newly promoted person, Nakamura was the last speaker and had about twenty minutes to prepare.

Nakamura quickly wrote key words in his police manual.

Fortunately, Matsumoto's police promotion report was compatible with the debriefing report, so he could apply the template.

As for whether it’s suitable or not, let’s wait until we get through the hard times!

"Brother Nakamura, no, Manager Nakamura, I have to ask you to take care of me from now on."

The only person who would call me brother like this is Memu Police Department. He smiled as if he was the one who was promoted.

Nakamura's eyes were dull and he walked towards the fourth department's office in vain.

Mu Mu followed beside him with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Could it be that there are any sequelae from before?"

"Nothing...just the report almost sent me to heaven."

"Huh?" Memu Police Department looked confused, "The report just now was very good, and the leaders were quite satisfied with it."

Back to an hour and a half ago, it was Nakamura's turn to give a report.

He basically only had time to think of the beginning and key words before he was put on the shelf and started to speak.

After saying the same routine, it’s time to summarize the results of the work.

Nakamura's long experience as a front-line police officer allowed Nakamura to speak meaningfully about the case, as if telling a story, and all the police officers in the audience were unknowingly fascinated.

It's like following him through an impressive case, watching the complete process of finding clues, arresting prisoners, and interrogating from a first-hand perspective.

Nakamura is actually quite informal in handling cases. In the early years, he relied on himself as a little shrimp to avoid attracting attention. He used many special methods such as undercover surveillance to find clues, and even directly used hypnosis in interrogations.

The efficiency of handling cases is naturally faster than that of other police officers. After all, ordinary police officers do not have such flexible but effective methods.

After he finished speaking, it took a long time for the people in the venue to come back to their senses, and the applause given to him was only slightly inferior to that of Matsumoto's warning.

Nakamura unknowingly hypnotized the 50 or 60 people in the audience. After the report, he felt that his brain was no longer his, and the pain made him want to hit the table regardless of his image.

What's even more ominous is that Minister Odagiri's eyes are extremely sharp when he looks over, which makes Nakamura even more uneasy.

However, after the meeting, Minister Odagiri said nothing and quickly turned around and left.

Although Nakamura was promoted to manager, he needs to temporarily continue to serve as the department head until there is no suitable successor for the head of the fourth department of the Criminal Investigation Section 1.

At the same time, he also needs to serve as a management officer when there are multiple cases, taking a commanding role in multiple cases.

In short, in the short period of time after this promotion, Nakamura's work not only did not lighten, but increased.

The only advantage is that he almost no longer needs to lead the team to the scene, he can just instruct the police officers below to do it.

Nakamura, who said a series of words of thanks in the report, was not happy at all at this moment.

After all, he had taken the time to ask No. 3 before and learned some not-so-good news from there.

Over the past month, due to his lethargy, he had gradually been unable to make ends meet with the energy points he earned.

If we don't work hard, many people are likely to leave this colorful world in a daze, and it will be irreversible.

(Note: The following is an additional half chapter.)

Nakamura returned to the Fourth Department office, feeling a little confused.

The police officers of the fourth department were completely opposite, with a bit of excitement on their faces. Hagiwara Kenji was the first to step forward, "Yuta, congratulations on your promotion. Let's celebrate together tonight!"

Nakamura was stunned, but he quickly realized Hagiwara's subtext, and waved his hand, "Okay, get off work on time tonight, let's all get together!"

Seeing that their immediate superior was promoted to police officer, the members of the fourth series were quite happy. Now when they heard that there was a dinner party, they even cheered enthusiastically, "Long live!"

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Nakamura felt slightly relieved.

No matter how urgent the situation is, things must be done step by step, and there is no rush.

The newly built department of the Fourth Series is basically built around Nakamura, and it is basically filled with motivated newcomers.

The only old inspection chief who waited for retirement was the only one who was well-informed and would not say anything sarcastic.

The assigned tasks can basically be completed well. Even if they are not completed properly, at least they can be fooled on the surface.

It was he who confirmed Kudo Shinichi's death, and Nakamura had helped him secure a good retirement package.

The entire department of the fourth series is a team that Nakamura can use like an arm and a finger, and is his important team.

Compared with that kind of bald commander-in-chief, he actually has someone to rely on as a manager. It's just that he has to move to the manager's independent office, which makes him somewhat lonely.

If Hagiwara realized something, he patted his shoulder and said, "Yuta, should I still decide on the store?"

"Okay, please!"

*

At six o'clock in the evening, there was an izakaya in Mihua Commercial Street.

The place is bustling and crowded with people in suits, but their temperaments are not unlike those of migrant workers, and they have a sense of righteousness.

Sitting around Nakamura's table are all the team captains of the four departments. The five inspection chiefs including Hagiwara Police Department Sub, Ito, Takagi, Yamamoto, Shibata, and Nakao are all here. The other tables are occupied by members of each group.

In workplace life, no matter how close they are in age, bosses and subordinates will feel uncomfortable having dinner at the same table.

Hagiwara is always considerate and always considers these small details when making arrangements.

This is not the first time that the four series have a dinner party. Everyone knows that Nakamura doesn't like to engage in that kind of spectacle. If they say a dinner party, they really have a dinner party.

It's relatively free. It's up to you whether you want to drink or not. There's basically no scene where you're forced to drink until your face turns red.

Nakamura only said a few words at the beginning, then sat down and started eating in peace.

After the meal was almost finished, Hagiwara went to other tables. His gift of conversationalism always suited him well in such dinner gatherings.

Ito stood up and left almost at the same time. He and Hagiwara can basically be regarded as Nakamura's spokespersons in the fourth series. In many situations where Nakamura is uncomfortable, they will take the initiative to take care of it and let Nakamura be quiet.

Takagi, Shibata and Nakao stayed for a while, and then went to their teams one after another to communicate with the team members.

In the end, the only person still sitting at the table was Yamamoto, the old inspection director. He was fifty-two years old, the same age as Section Chief Matsumoto.

Section Chief Matsumoto has just been promoted, which is the moment when his career is rejuvenating. There is a high probability that he will be energetic enough to stay in the position of Section Chief until he retires.

Yamamoto has basically no hope of promotion. He is clearly the same age as Section Chief Matsumoto, but the wrinkles on his face are more obvious, making him look like a man in his sixties.

Mentality problems inevitably make him a little sullen, and his temperament is stern and rigid, with no vitality, which is in line with his mediocre and depressed appearance for many years.

There is no hope for promotion, and his mentality of seeking no merit but no fault prevents him from being able to maintain emotional contact with his subordinates.

However, the team members assigned to him by Nakamura were relatively aggressive young police officers, and he hoped that the two sides would get along well.

Yamamoto, a veteran police officer, has rich patrol experience and can teach new police officers.

At the same time, I hope that the new police officer's vitality can infect Yamamoto to some extent and let him understand that he can still use his remaining energy.

Yamamoto experienced the initial confusion, and now he has a very clear understanding of his own position. In just two years, he has helped train two batches of young police officers for the fourth department.

The strange thing is that, without exception, the young police officers he trained are not close to Yamamoto at all.

Every time we have dinner together, Yamamoto and Nakamura will be the last ones left at the leadership table, just like lonely old people staying at home.

However, sometimes Yamamoto also has a common problem among the elderly.

"Officer Nakamura, have you met the right person this year? If you plan to get married, I can help introduce you. My daughter is pretty good. Do you want to take the time to meet her?"

Nakamura picked the vegetables with his chopsticks and said, "No, my family has already raised a child. It's not appropriate to drag a woman down."

"My daughter Jiaai likes children very much and won't mind at all."

Nakamura raised his head and glanced at Yamamoto, "But my child will mind."

Yamamoto choked, "I heard that the child from the police department is already twelve years old, right? It's impossible for such an outstanding person from the police department to live alone until old age because of an adopted child."

Nakamura held up his forehead, "Um... Officer Yamamoto, if I remember correctly, Jiaai's child is only eighteen years old this year, and I am already thirty years old, which is quite a bit older. If you want to introduce her to a boyfriend, please contact me." Someone of the same age would be more suitable?"

The same conversation was held last year. Nakamura didn't understand at all why Yamamoto was keen to introduce his underage daughter to him, a man with a child who was also a round older.

When the atmosphere was a little tense, Nakamura suddenly put a hand on his shoulder, and a familiar voice rang in his ears, "Officer Yamamoto, your team member is calling you."

Yamamoto paused for a moment, then turned around and saw several young team members looking expectantly and a little fearfully.

He finally stood up slowly, "Well, Nakamura Police Department, Officer Hagiwara, I'll excuse you now."

After watching Yamamoto walk away, Hagiwara sat down next to Nakamura.

He looked at Nakamura with an interesting smile, "Have you been introduced to someone again, Yuuta?"

Nakamura picked up a tube of edamame, squeezed out the beans with a pop, "...it's not like you didn't hear me."

"As long as you have a stable relationship, Officer Yamamoto will not keep an eye on you.

If you don't want to be introduced, just take the initiative yourself. I'm familiar with the police officers at the Ministry of Transportation. I can introduce you to anyone you like. "

Nakamura became serious, "Kenji, don't make such a joke!"

Hagiwara and Nakamura looked at each other for a while, and finally said, "Hey, when Yuta changes his mind, you have to tell me."
