Conan: Nakamura-kun is forced to be almighty

As the successor of Matsumoto Police, Nakamura normally needs to move to his original independent office.

But in comparison, he still preferred to stay in the fourth department office and sit in his original position in the police department.

On an ordinary Saturday morning, the office of the Fourth Department was very quiet. The police officers were all in their positions processing files, and few positions were free.

When a detective handles a case, he basically only needs to confirm the prisoner. Only those who are more careful will compile the files and put them in the office.

The kind of commissions he receives are basically little detectives who catch cats and dogs. It is difficult to make a living, and there are no complicated steps such as sorting out files.

Compared with detectives, the Metropolitan Police Department's case handling process is much more complete.

Search and collect evidence, ask suspects for confessions, lock prisoners, arrest, interrogate, send for inspection, and organize files.

Every process requires police officers to complete. Even if there are twenty people in a team, those with lower efficiency will basically need to work overtime. Very few can get off work on time, and weekends are even more of a luxury.

Therefore, almost all of the subordinates Nakamura saw had black eyes, but their mental state was strangely high.

Ito sent over the case files handled in the past month, and Nakamura asked curiously, "What happened to them?"

Ito looked back and silently took out his police ID.

Nakamura took a closer look and discovered that Ito's police rank turned out to be the deputy of the police department.

"Congratulations, when did this happen?"

"Almost last week, at the wrap-up meeting, many officers in our department were promoted."

"So that's it," Nakamura was not surprised, "Where is Officer Hagiwara?"

"Officer Hagiwara needs to wait until he passes the promotion exam before he can become a police officer."

"That's not bad, keep up the good work!"

Ito stood at attention and saluted, "Hi!"

After Hagiwara successfully passes the promotion exam, he should be succeeded as the head of the fourth department. At that time, Nakamura will officially step down from the position of department head and move to the management officer's office.

He will take over the daily affairs of the management officer. Most of his time will be spent processing documents. A small amount of time will be used as the commander of a temporary case handling team when facing complex cases, or to direct work at the county police station.

Just imagining such a day makes the future look bleak.

A commander means taking the role of giving orders among the crowd, making judgments after everyone discusses countermeasures, and ordering subordinates to execute them.

It is completely inconsistent with Nakamura's habit of handling cases alone. When working in the Fourth Department, with his old partner Ito around, Nakamura would be more willful. He would take the initiative to go to the scene when he encountered a case of interest, or when the police force was insufficient, and he would spend relatively less time in the Fourth Department office.

In the future, such a free approach will become a luxury.

Ito looked at Nakamura, whose face was gloomy and unclear, worriedly, "Officer Nakamura? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Nakamura waved his hands feebly, "It's okay. Are there any interesting cases today?"

"It's nothing special. By the way, Officer Hagiwara just went to Midoridai Police Hospital to visit the Megure Police Department."

"Megure Police Department is injured?"

"Yes, I heard that Megure Police Department was shot in the abdomen with a crossbow during morning exercise today and was sent to the hospital. Officer Hagiwara went to visit as a representative of the four departments."

Nakamura stood up immediately, "I'll go over and see the situation too."

"Let Long Chuan accompany you there. I still have cases to visit here."

"Row."

As Ito's direct descendant, Tatsukawa has always won his trust. He is almost the person in the four departments who is most familiar with Nakamura besides Hagiwara and Ito.

Police Lieutenant Mumu was lying on the hospital bed, conscious, and saw Nakamura coming in and greeted him happily, "Brother Nakamura, thank you for coming to see me."

"Police department, how is your health?"

A police officer with a very special hairstyle took the initiative to explain, "Fortunately, no vital parts were injured and there is no danger to his life. However, he will need to be hospitalized for observation for a few days."

"That's great. By the way, who is this officer?"

Megure Police Department smiled and explained, "This is the police officer who was assigned to our third investigation department two weeks ago, Officer Shiratori. Brother Nakamura, this should be your first time meeting him."

"I have long admired Manager Nakamura's ability to handle cases. I am Shiratori Rensaburo. Please look after me in the future."

"My dear, Yuuta Nakamura, nice to meet you."

Just as the greetings ended, there was another knock on the door outside.

Officer Shiratiao took the initiative to open the door, and there was a crowd of people standing outside the house.

Surprisingly, it was Mouri Kogoro's family, and several children from the Youth Detective Team were also there. Xiao Ai was not with them. She followed Hiroki to the doctor's house today.

Nakamura commissioned the doctor yesterday to take his two children to confirm whether there is a suitable house near Ni-chome.

It was obviously the first time for Genta and the other children to meet Nakamura and Officer Shiratori, but they were not afraid of anything and greeted them openly.

After Mouri Kogoro asked about the physical condition of the police department, the topic finally got on the right track.

"Are there any clues about the prisoner?"

Officer Shiratori took out the police manual and said, "The prisoner should have used a hand-held crossbow. As to whether he specifically targeted the police department, or whether the police department happened to pass by by chance and hit the target, further investigation is needed."

"Brother Hagiwara has already led a team to investigate. The results should be available soon."

Hearing this, Gentai asked curiously: "Memu Police Department, you should be carrying a pistol, right?"

"Why would you let the gangster escape?"

Mouri Kogoro said angrily: "He was jogging at that time, how could he be carrying a pistol?"

"Actually, even if I do carry a pistol with me, I don't have the precise shooting skills of Brother Maori and Brother Nakamura, so I don't dare to shoot easily."

No one present raised any doubts about Nakamura's accuracy in marksmanship.

After all, in most people's minds, it is common sense that Nakamura, the Metropolitan Police's ray of hope, is great in all aspects.

In contrast, Xiaolan asked doubtfully: "Is dad's shooting skills very good?"

"Of course, Brother Maori's marksmanship was among the best in our three departments."

Nakamura added, "Not only that, Mori-senpai is a marksman genius praised by the police school instructor."

Xiaolan thought thoughtfully, "I see, no wonder dad was so good at it when he participated in the shooting game at the festival last time."

Mouri Kogoro rarely showed a proud expression because of their compliments, but instead showed a bit of stability.

"Are there any clues at the scene?"

"There was a very strange thing left at the scene, and it was this."

Shiratori showed the contents of an evidence bag to everyone present.

Nakamura stood at the front and could see very clearly that it was an origami toy that looked like a Western sword.

"Is the police department's usual place for running in the park?"

"That's right, it's Mihua Park."

"Could this be a toy left behind by a child?"

Although the police officer Mu Mu was injured, he did not pay too much attention to it and agreed: "It is indeed possible. When I was jogging, there were many children playing on the lawn nearby."

Nakamura didn't see anything unusual, and after confirming that the police department was fine, he said goodbye and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.
