"Strengthen security for the fireworks display?"

After hearing Tang Ze's purpose in coming to see him, Saitama's eyes moved with dissatisfaction and said, "Have you received any information, boy?

You're still beating around the bush in our relationship. Don't worry about the accuracy of the information, just speak directly."

"I haven't received any accurate information. If I were in his position now, I would have someone watching him. I wouldn't have come to you for precautions."

Tang Ze held his forehead helplessly. It was impossible for him to tell the other party that there would be a case of passion murder at that time.

After explaining, Tang Ze immediately added, "But I did hear rumors that there are many pickpockets at fireworks festivals, and people are worried about having their things stolen.

This kind of thing actually happens every time there is a large-scale incident. After all, a crowded environment is the perfect environment for thieves.

As you know, our crime rate has remained high in recent times, and the higher-ups attach great importance to strengthening our credibility.

Normally, I rely on myself alone, and most of the effects are reflected on myself, which actually has little effect on strengthening the headquarters.

So I think in addition to my own efforts to enhance public credibility, this department must also work harder and take concrete actions to subtly influence the public's trust in us."

"Okay, I just realized now that you came here to complain to me today."

Hearing this, Boss Saitama took a sip of his tea and scolded with a smile, "What do you mean by hearing about a pickpocket? It's just that you want to be lazy and don't want to take on the responsibility of improving your credibility, so you came here to take advantage of this issue."

"Hey, sir, have you figured it out?"

Tang Ze pretended to be seen through and poured himself a cup of tea with a smile: "The main thing is that I feel that my role in this mission is no longer significant.

In the early days, when the Metropolitan Police Department lacked credibility and the public did not believe in our ability to handle cases, having a "famous detective" was indeed reassuring.

This can prevent the public from being disappointed in the Metropolitan Police Department. At the same time, even if private detectives like Kogoro Mori continue to solve cases, it will not undermine the credibility of the Metropolitan Police Department.

But that was in the early stages, and continuing now makes little sense, and may even have negative consequences."

Tang Ze said seriously, "If I were to link my personal credibility with the Metropolitan Police Department, then that would be putting the cart before the horse."

"I'm not surprised that you can see that."

Saitama smiled and said, "But you underestimate us too much. Do you think we haven't considered the possible negative consequences of using your card?

Why do you think I arranged for Sihuayuan to help you intercept various news interviews? Most people don't have the confidence to refuse those difficult reporters."

"It's because you are here, sir." Tang Ze understood.

"That's right."

Saitama smiled and said, "Besides that, I also tacitly agreed to your slacking off every day. Otherwise, you would be annoyed to death by those reporters if you just sat in the office every day.

Rather than letting you handle a difficult case and then having those reporters block your way to get the details, it’s better to let you be elusive and play a role at the critical moment.”

"Um... So you know everything, sir." Tang Ze smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that his slacking off would be known by his immediate superior.

"Of course."

Boss Saitama raised his chin proudly: "But it's obvious that you have done a good job in giving you the power.

Although he is a bit lazy at ordinary times, he handles cases well.

Besides that, the scientific research is developing very well, which is what I am most satisfied with. Your proposal has greatly improved our crime-solving rate, which is the foundation of a century of development."

“That’s too much.”

Tang Ze waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this: "In fact, once technology develops to a certain point, the external criminal environment will eventually affect our institutional reforms."

“But there’s a difference between being proactive and being reactive.”

Saitama shook his head without looking at Tang Ze and said, "I've gone off topic. I almost understand what you mean, but in the short term, I still cannot do without your help.

Of course, we will also try our best to address our shortcomings and enhance the credibility of our headquarters, thereby reducing your personal influence."

"Then I'm relieved." Tang Ze smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, he seemed to think of something: "Then my previous suggestion..."

"You said you wanted to minimize the impact, so let's start from now. I'll have the people from Investigation Section 3 patrol the venue and its surroundings."

Saitama glared at Tang Ze and interrupted him: "But don't think about running away, kid. I'll leave this matter to you."

"I was thinking of taking my girlfriend to watch the fireworks." Tang Ze pretended to be depressed and said, "As the general manager, can't you find someone else?"

"Ha, wishful thinking."

Seeing Tang Ze's frustrated expression, Boss Saitama said happily: "Since you initiated this patrol, you will be responsible for setting the patrol route.

Don't worry, I'll just let you use your brain. You can just accompany your girlfriend to the festival later. It's like an on-site inspection."

"Sir, you really won't let go of any opportunity to exploit me. This was just an excuse."

Tang Ze shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, it's not a difficult task anyway. Once I'm done with the arrangements, you can have someone arrange it."

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me." Saitama said, waving his hand to drive him away: "Okay, you've finished your work, so hurry up and leave. Don't get in my way."

"Then I'll leave. I'll bring the plan later." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Tang Ze stood up without any reluctance.

"No need to bring it over, just give it to Shihuayuan." Saitama said, "I'll arrange for her to do it."
