The delicious broth, tender chicken, and his favorite sauce made even Tang Ze eat a lot with a good appetite.
Of course, in addition to Kogoro Mori and his group, the guests this time also included Kazuha's father, Ginjiro Toyama.
Tang Ze didn't see the other party at the exchange meeting at noon and thought that he would have no chance to meet this time, but he met him in the evening.
"Tang Zejun Tomorrow"
"By the way, let me take you to Osaka for a good stroll tomorrow!" Hattori Heiji suggested while eating shimeji mushrooms.
"Okay, this is a good opportunity for us to continue visiting the places we didn't have time to visit before." Xiaolan agreed enthusiastically, and then began to discuss with Kazuha the places they wanted to visit tomorrow.
"Detective Tang Ze, what about you? Are you going back tomorrow?" Hattori Heiji turned his head and looked at Tang Ze and asked.
"Well... if it's nothing important, it should be fine to stay for a day." When Tang Ze heard that the "Black and White Impermanence" were going out for a patrol, he was already on high alert and there was no way he would let them go.
He has already planned to pay close attention to his surroundings tomorrow to see if he can prevent the case in advance.
There are quite a few cases that can be triggered by going to Osaka, and without any hint, Karasawa doesn't know which case it might be.
After three rounds of drinks, Tang Ze, who had drunk a lot of wine with Toyama Ginjiro and Mori Kogoro, was a little tipsy.
Just as he was drinking tea and thinking about whether they would encounter any cases during their outing tomorrow, the phone suddenly rang.
When Tang Ze saw the caller ID, his eyes fixed and he had a bad feeling.
Because the person who called was Shikain's current boss, the bald boss who supported Karasawa to become the face of the Criminal Bureau and the leader of the younger generation, and who helped him stand up behind the scenes and gave him many privileges - Saitama Yusuke!
The boss was in a very good mood, but his bald head that looked like a shiny egg also indirectly confirmed that his previous troubles at work had nothing to do with his hair loss.
It is said that this big man was also a tough guy when he was young. Although he came from an elite family, he was in his thirties and happened to catch up with the turbulent era of reform.
However, he was still young at that time, and he did not oppose it like most elites. Instead, as a pioneer of the reformists, he repeatedly solved cases with his excellent reasoning. He also led by example and was the first to rush to arrest criminals. His wisdom and courage made the criminals below him admire him very much.
Later, the reformists won, and he relied on his own achievements and prestige to step by step sit in the position of deputy director of police.
Some time ago, the Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Department retired due to heart problems. He was transferred directly from the Metropolitan Police Department to the position of Acting Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Department based on his previous efforts to promote Tang Ze to the position and Tang Ze's many achievements in changing the image of the police force.
Although they are both second-in-command and their rank is "Superintendent of Police", it can be considered a horizontal transfer in terms of rank, but moving from the Metropolitan Police Department to the Criminal Investigation Department is a big step in power.
Of course, if possible, Saitama also wants to steadily advance to the position of Superintendent General. After all, that is a position that can compete with the Criminal Investigation Department.
But there is no way. It is tempting, but Director Bai Ma's position is as stable as a rock. So if he doesn't seize this opportunity for promotion, even if he gets promoted, he probably won't be able to keep the position for many years after Bai Niao retires.
This time, he seized the vacancy of the deputy minister position and temporarily took over the position of deputy minister.
It is said to be a temporary position, but everyone knows that it is nothing more than waiting for the former deputy minister to apply for sick leave and officially become a regular employee.
And Shikain Yuehua can be said to have been promoted to a higher position. As the proposer and executor of the plan to allow Saitama to be promoted based on this achievement, he has now become Saitama's direct subordinate.
How to describe it? Although he is still a deputy inspector in terms of rank (it is not time for him to be promoted to regular), his business card shows the title of his direct superior, which means he is in a low position but has great power.
This business card can be used to show off one's power and it will definitely be very useful.
At present, Sihuayuan Yuehua is still just a newcomer, but she is enough to make countless people jealous. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as she doesn't make mistakes and follows the procedures, she will definitely be promoted quickly.
Back to the point, such a big boss usually assigns things to Sihuayuan and lets two young people from the same class contact each other, but now he actually called in person, which shows the unusualness of the situation.
The thoughts raced through his mind for only a few breaths. Without any hesitation, Tang Ze said sorry and immediately got up to answer the phone outside.
As expected, as soon as the call was connected, a rapid voice came from Saitama Boss, which was different from his usual calm tone, "Karaze-kun, hurry back to Tokyo, we need you!
You will be handed over to Sihuayuan later. I have asked her to contact the airline and reserve a ticket for you that departs soon."
"I understand, Vice Minister. I'll be leaving now." Tang Ze's expression grew serious as he listened to the other party's hurried and angry tone. "What on earth happened?"
The next moment, as the words came from the other end of the phone, Tang Ze's pupils shrank unconsciously.
After a long time, after hanging up the phone, Tang Ze slowly exhaled and walked into the room.
"What happened?"
Seeing Tang Ze's frown and serious expression, Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro looked at each other and asked.
"I guess the news will reach you two soon." Tang Ze exhaled slowly, and then said word by word: "Metropolitan Police Department Detective Chief Ito has been murdered!"
“!!!”
“N-Nani!!”
At this moment, Hattori Heizo's eyes, which were usually narrowed, opened instantly, revealing a sharp look.
Toyama Ginjiro, who was standing by, cried out in shock, with an expression of disbelief, "Ito he..."
Kogoro Mouri, Conan and others were all shocked, obviously because of the news about Karasawa.
Even the two girls, He Ye and Xiao Lan, understood how much shock the murder of such a person would cause because of their family or daily interactions.
The murder of the Criminal Director is no small matter, as he is one of the highest-ranking officials below the Inspector General, the Superintendent General, and the Deputy Inspector General.
Apart from the two bosses above, the rest are the directors of certain departments of the Metropolitan Police Department, such as the Police Department, Transportation Department, Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, etc.
Among them, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, who is in charge of criminal cases, is the most important.
And such a big shot was actually killed?
"Sorry, it seems we won't be able to have dinner." Tang Ze picked up his coat and put it on while saying, "I have to leave."
"How do we get there?" Hattori Heizo asked directly.
"airplane."
"Thanks to Ginjiro for asking me to take him back after he told me he had something to talk to me about later, he didn't let me not drink." Hattori Heizo stood up, picked up his coat and walked outside, "Let's go! I'll take you to the airport!"
Tang Ze was stunned when he heard this, and then he followed Hattori Heizo out without any politeness.
