The story of wisdom is not actually that tragic.

At least his friends are still alive and active in the police system.

"He was a colleague I worked with for over a year when I joined the Sixth Division of the First Investigation Department."

This is how Mingzhi explained it.

The same surname, Takagi, also belongs to a veteran inspection chief.

And then there's Patrol Chief Nanjo, who takes care of everyone like an older sister.

Like Akechi, he was a professional, but he was a late-arriving Inspector Huang Di.

There was also Ryutaro Kobayashi, a young patrolman transferred from the community police station to the First Division.

At the time, Kobayashi had almost no experience as a criminal investigator, and he was also Akechi's closest partner.

Yoruichi Toyama felt his worldview crumble upon hearing this.

Given Mingzhi's peacock-like temperament, how could he possibly tolerate his partner?

I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of person is this Inspector Kobayashi?"

Is it like Hajime-chan, who is unreliable and therefore not valued, but is actually quite intelligent?

When the topic came up, Mingzhi shook his head and smiled, then flicked his fingers in mid-air.

It seems like they have a habit of flicking someone's forehead.

"Aside from a sense of justice and passion, he's utterly useless. Oh, and when he's off-track, he's about as bad as you."

What the heck!

Yoruichi Toyama felt a slight, throbbing pain in her forehead, and after rubbing it, she retorted, "When have I ever been out of touch with reality?"

"Who was it that just said we're 'over' and left Kotaro to me?"

Mingzhi casually made a sarcastic remark, and then continued talking.

Kobayashi, the patrol officer, is indeed a newcomer to the police force who has accumulated a lot of experience in helping elderly women cross the street, but is very bad at reasoning.

But what he and the other members of the Sixth Bureau all had in common was the spirit of getting to the bottom of things and never giving up until the truth was found.

“Plus, I was also very stubborn back then,” Mingzhi said. “A group of us working together and sticking to our guns did solve quite a few cases.”

His tone was a little strange; it was clearly nostalgic, but also tinged with regret.

"So, they've all been transferred now?" Yoruichi Toyama asked tentatively. "Were they promoted?"

If each of them grows into a capable individual, this shouldn't be considered a sad story.

Mingzhi paused for a moment before slowly nodding.

"You could say that... At least, Huang Di is now the head of the Personnel Section 1 of the Police Department."

Speaking of the First Investigation Division, it is quite a prominent unit within the entire Metropolitan Police Department.

Because of the large size of the department, the police ranks also rise accordingly, with the section chiefs being police superintendents who are one level higher than other sections.

A police inspector like Mingzhi, who was still an officer in the first division, would have been a division chief in another division.

Considering that Huangdi is in the same professional group as Mingzhi, his current rank is not surprising.

"Takagi went to the General Affairs Department, Nanjo went to the Transportation Department, and as for Kobayashi..."

Xiao Lin, who originally worked at the community police station, went back to the community and continued to help elderly women cross the road.

When Yoruichi Toyama heard about the transfer, she found it quite unbelievable.

"Wouldn't that be equivalent to dismantling your Sixth Department?"

Thinking about it this way, it's clear that those non-professional staff members were only transferred laterally and not promoted.

Huang Di, on the other hand, benefited from the elite program and was a key candidate for development.

So, what exactly happened to the Sixth Bureau back then? ...

With a "thump".

Mingzhi's hand froze in mid-air, still in the same position as when it was launched, as he and Yuanshan Ye stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Yoruichi Toyama finally felt the pain and cried out, clutching her forehead.

Mingzhi calmly withdrew his hand.

"It's nothing. Talking about the old days just brought back some of my habits."

“I can’t stand people spacing out in front of me, so,” he said with surprising confidence, “you should be more careful in the future.”

Yoruichi Toyama angrily punched the sofa.

I don't know how Inspector Kobayashi tolerated this guy back then.

but……

Thinking of Kobayashi Ryutaro, Toyama Yoruichi gradually understood.

If we were to say what happened to force the six factions to go their separate ways back then...

So, when Mingzhi brings these things up to himself, he's trying to assure himself that being separated from his partner won't affect his life.

I hope so.

...

Amuro Tooru was summoned back to the organization's secret headquarters in Tokyo on April 8.

Two weeks had passed since the disappearance of core researcher "Sherry," or, as Gin put it, "defection."

Amuro Tooru, who was tasked with eliminating the traitor, presented his plan to Gin, only to be met with a moment of contemplation.

"You think this will lure Sherry out?" Gin questioned. "What's the specific wording?"

Amuro Tooru, who should be called "Bourbon" here, thought carefully for a moment and gave his answer.

"My Lord, I have emerged from there and long to see you again."

"If you are free, please come to that park at 7:00 PM."

"'Mingmei'"

"Is it okay to publish it in the newspaper like this?"

Gin's face was gloomy, making it impossible to tell whether he agreed or disagreed.

“I see,” he murmured. “Sherry certainly knew her sister was dead.”

"But someone impersonated her sister and arranged to meet that FBI agent..."

"Or maybe she hated him too... Yes, Shirley must have hated him, hated the person who implicated her sister and ultimately caused her sister's death..."

"Ah, Shirley! What will you choose?..."
