"Then I'll go search headquarters with Toyama!" Hakuba Saguru said casually, grabbing Toyama Yoruichi's arm.
Department Head Odagiri and Section Chief Gyuta chuckled as they watched the two leave.
The smiles of the two senior police officers only gradually disappeared after the door closed again.
"I never expected that Superintendent General Hakuba would suggest involving someone like this in the investigation," Chief Odagiri remarked, his voice betraying neither relief nor regret.
“It’s probably made for the public to see,” Section Chief Gyoda said reassuringly. “After all, he’s known as a ‘famous detective’ now.”
"Compared to Kogoro Mouri, and without such deep ties to the Metropolitan Police Department, the public will not suspect any tacit agreement between them."
Department Head Odagiri nodded.
“Indeed, he doesn’t look like the kind of person who is timid and hesitant.”
It seems like a normal evaluation, but it's hard to say whether it carries a hint of sarcasm.
Section Chief Gyuta could only offer a forced smile.
"People are hesitant to investigate because they respect you so much."
"Moreover, even Director Hakuba wouldn't object to the choice of the head of the investigation department that you personally appointed this time."
When this topic came up, a slight smile appeared on Minister Odagiri's lips.
"Yes, after all, he's someone the entire Metropolitan Police Department knows about, the one who 'brought down the previous Chief of Criminal Investigation'."
...
In addition to the regular homicide investigation sections 1 through 9, the First Investigation Division also establishes temporary specialized investigation headquarters when facing important cases.
When Yoruichi Toyama saw the words "Criminal Shooting Incident Investigation Headquarters" handwritten on the whiteboard in front of the office, she suddenly felt a faint sense of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).
You police officers, do you never burst out laughing when you see these kinds of case names on a daily basis?
Hakuba Saguru, who was used to this, didn't even knock on the door and dragged him inside.
The people inside stopped talking and all eyes turned to the two of them.
At the same time, Yoruichi Toyama noticed Akechi standing in the center position and was momentarily stunned.
"I said, you..."
I think this is a Detective Conan movie, right? Why are you joining in the fun again?
However, considering that he will now appear at the beginning of the movie as someone whose identity is known in Conan's dialogue, this guy can definitely be ranked number one, so it doesn't seem too out of place.
“Detective Akechi is the interim head of the investigation headquarters, personally appointed by Chief Odagiri,” Hakuba Saguru said with a smile.
"That Odagiri-san has some nerve," Yoruichi Toyama said directly.
"This guy is the type who won't let go of any doubts and won't stop until he finds out the truth!"
As they spoke, they reached out and punched each other on the shoulder at the same time.
The two of them, along with Hakuba Saguru, all appeared calm and collected, while the other detectives secretly wore bitter expressions.
We knew all too well that this elite member of the gold watch group had this kind of temper!
The problem is that now that the investigation has reached Minister Odagiri, why are you still pressing on it? Are you really trying to uncover some scandal?
Isn't taking down a Minister of Criminal Investigation enough for you? ...
Ignoring the constipated looks on everyone's faces, Akechi called Yoruichi Toyama and Saguru Hakuba to the table.
"Inspector Shiratori, please give Toyama and the others a briefing on the investigation."
Inspector Shiratori, whose name was called, sighed listlessly.
"Oh, just recently, within a week, two officers from the First Investigation Division were shot and killed one after the other..."
She had just said that when Yoruichi Toyama interrupted her.
"Do those two officers know each other?"
Inspector Shiratori immediately showed signs of impatience.
"I already said we're colleagues in the same department, so we must know each other."
“Knowing someone doesn’t mean you know them all!” Yoruichi Toyama glanced at him and chuckled deliberately. “For example, Inspector Shiratori and Inspector Akechi know each other.”
"But if both of you were attacked, it's hard to see what you have in common."
"Unless, the killer is a psychopathic serial killer who preys on people of a certain age."
Inspector Shiratori's face turned pale instantly.
So you mean I'm not comparable to Inspector Akechi at all?
Mingzhi frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his expression.
"Hey, Yuanshan, what kind of analogy is that?"
"Why were Inspector Shiratori and I attacked?"
"Why weren't you and Inspector Shiratori both attacked?"
"Me?" Yoruichi Toyama chuckled twice, without any hesitation, "I can do it too."
"For example, Inspector Shiratori and I were both shot and killed..."
"Mr. Toyama!" Inspector Shiratori finally snapped, "Can we please stop using examples like this?"
And why is it that you and Akechi take turns being killed, while I'm the only one who can't escape? ...
no……
Inspector Shiratori realized he had been tricked.
"Ahem!" Inspector Megure, who was sitting to the side, realized that he had to smooth things over no matter what. "Since everyone was already quite familiar with the case, Shiratori gave a rather brief introduction."
"The two police officers who were shot were Inspector Nara Sawaji and Chief Inspector Shiba Ichiro. They were both in the Fourth Division and had been partners for many years."
"Furthermore, our Third Department Inspector Sato was also transferred from the Fourth Department."
"I heard that Officer Sato was also attacked last night?" Yoruichi Toyama immediately asked.
I have a feeling that these police officers, apart from being wise, are all dragging their feet and unwilling to show me the full picture of the case.
This must be why Superintendent General Hakuba insisted on involving him in the investigation.
