"Come to think of it, I remember that you, Detective Karasawa, seemed to be working together with Detective Sato..."
"Well, that was originally the arrangement."
In response to Shiratori's question, Tang Ze nodded and explained, "However, Dr. Agasa and the others are acquaintances of mine, so I took the initiative to swap jobs with Officer Takagi and was responsible for taking their statements."
"I thought, originally I remembered that Officer Takagi was supposed to be in charge of reception..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Niao nodded calmly, but Tang Ze was very keen to notice that the other party frowned after hearing what Tang Ze said.
However, Tang Ze was not surprised by Shiratori's reaction.
After all, he still regards Sato Miwako as his childhood sweetheart, so naturally he is unwilling to let the powerful enemy escape.
Although Tang Ze's apparent excuse was to invite Conan and the others to take a statement, he actually had other reasons.
However, providing assists to Takagi is also one of the reasons.
After all, he and Takagi are old partners. Last time, he left early after recording his testimony. This time, letting him partner with Sato Miwako is considered a return gift.
The more important reason is that it makes it easier for Tang Ze to just sit there and do some soy sauce.
That’s right, this is actually Tang Ze’s purpose.
From the beginning, he had no intention of participating in this case and sharing the credit with his colleagues. After all, he solved cases too quickly, and he couldn't be too greedy.
A robbery case like this one is basically not difficult. After a few days of investigation, it can be closed today or tomorrow. It does not require much technical skills.
But it is a big case after all. If everyone participates in it, they can all get some credit if the case is solved.
Maybe you would think that Tang Ze is just one person, and it would be too ugly for him to get involved?
That's a bit exaggerated.
It would have been fine if it was just when he started working, but now his status is a little special. For the cases he is involved in, even if he didn't contribute much or do a great job, he still has to share some of the credit.
Who made him the "face" of the Metropolitan Police Department now? The Propaganda Department's hairlines have generally receded due to the criticism from the big guys before. Now that they have a signature thigh, they naturally have to maintain a good image.
In order to protect the interests of his own publicity department, the boss above also somewhat ignored Tang Ze.
What he did felt a bit like a "face-saving project".
But it is understandable. If Tang Ze just played a minor role in the case, who knows how the unscrupulous tabloids would report it.
And on the surface, Tang Ze got a share of the credit and they did the publicity, so it seemed like a win-win situation.
But this seems to be a win-win situation, but it is actually sweet poison. Although tempting, it is harmful in the long run.
After all, robbing others of their credit is very offensive. If both sides gain benefits, naturally someone will suffer losses.
Fortunately, Sihuayuan Yuehua is more sensible and reminded Tang Ze specifically, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he only realized it after he had shared the credit of others.
So he simply didn't participate, which happened to be a good opportunity for him to assist Takagi, while he could also leisurely play a supporting role.
"Officer Shiratori!! The branch manager of Touto Bank has arrived!!"
Just as Tang Ze finished answering Bai Niao's question and was about to leave with the little ones, a uniformed police officer walked over to the door leading a middle-aged man with a mustache.
"Ah, thank you for your hard work."
After thanking the police officer, Shiratori looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Masuo."
"Huh... I finally made it..." Masuo, who had a small mustache, looked at his watch and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Excuse me, isn't your wife here with you?" Shiratori asked with some confusion when she saw that Zengwei came alone.
"Ah, I had something to do at the bank, so I agreed with my wife to meet up directly at the Metropolitan Police Department." Masuo explained and asked, "Isn't she here yet?"
"Well, I didn't see your wife." Bai Niao nodded.
"That's strange..." Masuo looked at his watch. "It's already this late, he's not still sleeping, is he?"
As he spoke, Masuo walked over to the landline next to him, pointed, and asked, "Can I borrow the phone? I need to contact my wife."
"Please use it." Bai Niao nodded.
The middle-aged man dialed the number, and after entering the number, he raised his left hand again to check the time.
"Moshimoshi~Zuowei family."
"It's me, Kayo. I'm at the Metropolitan Police Department. Please say hello." Masuo said as he handed the phone to Officer Shiratori.
"Ma'am, Officer Takagi has something urgent to do, so I'm here to greet you two." Shiratori explained and asked, "May I ask where you are going now?"
"Ah? Five o'clock? But your husband said you two should come together at two o'clock?" Bai Niao was a little surprised when she heard the words on the other end of the phone.
On the other side, hearing Shiratori's words, Zengwei hurriedly snatched the phone away, "Did you fall asleep? Didn't we agree yesterday..."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zengwei put his left hand on the base of the phone when he grabbed it and turned on the speakerphone.
The next moment, a terrified scream came directly from the phone, causing everyone to freeze.
When the other party called, Tang Ze was actually about to go out with Conan, but the scream made him turn his head involuntarily.
"Mrs. Masuo!! What's going on?!" Shiratori snatched the phone and asked repeatedly, but no matter how he shouted, he got no response.
"Sorry, you guys wait for me in the office first." Tang Ze instructed the little ones, then immediately shouted to Shiratori, "I'll go drive, we'll go to Mr. Masuo's house right away!"
On the way to find a car, Tang Ze was still a little annoyed and speechless.
I never thought that just by asking Conan to take a statement, he would actually encounter a case. It's really hard to guard against...
It's really hard to guard against.
After Tang Ze came to this world, he found that the so-called "Conan case alarm" was not very useful.
The so-called "alarm" simply means that when Conan appears, the case is about to happen.
It cannot be said to be inaccurate, but this is the real world after all, where it operates 24 hours a day. It is not realistic to be alert to a case as soon as you see Conan appear.
The kind of anime where the character dies wherever he goes is equivalent to cutting out the daily life and only playing the case. Naturally, every time Conan appears, there is a "law" that the case should happen.
But in fact, in the normal world, daily life accounts for a larger proportion of time, and cases are only a small part.
For a period of time after Tang Ze came to this world and met Conan, he became suspicious whenever he met him, fearing that a case might have occurred somewhere.
But most of the time no cases happened, such as taking statements. In fact, I have taken Conan to do statements many times before, and nothing happened.
Gradually, Tang Ze relaxed. Otherwise, he would be nervous every time he met Conan, and he would suffer from nervous breakdown sooner or later.
But when you suddenly encounter a case, you will inevitably feel annoyed...
