Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
At this moment, in a conference room, a case file was placed in front of everyone.
Boss Saitama was sitting at the top seat with his eyes closed, resting.
"I think you've all seen enough. Tell me your opinions."
After a moment, Boss Saitama opened his eyes, looked at the senior officials below, and spoke directly.
But after he finished speaking, no one below spoke.
After all, the current situation is really too troublesome.
Tang Ze's side said that the other party committed suicide after confessing his guilt and used the excuse of changing clothes to commit suicide.
However, the suspect, Haruko Kitagami, said that she had not confessed her guilt at all and that she committed suicide because the two men had been entangled with her and constantly forcing and threatening her to confess to crimes she had not committed.
Finally, she couldn't bear the tremendous pressure and chose to commit suicide.
There is an obvious contradiction in the words of both sides.
As the face of the Metropolitan Police Department, the bigwigs of the Metropolitan Police Department are naturally willing to believe what Tang Ze said.
After all, he has proven himself through numerous cases, and they also have files on three cases involving Haruko Kitagami.
With their experience, they could naturally come to the same conclusion as Tang Ze, and since Tang Ze was one of their own, they would definitely support him.
But they couldn't ignore what Kitagami Haruko said.
This matter can be big or small, depending on the other party's attitude. If they are determined to make a big deal out of it, it will be a headache for them.
After all, the media doesn't care about the facts, they just want to have big news that sells well.
This is especially true when it comes to the "famous criminal" Tang Ze.
By then, the headlines will probably be something like “Shocking! A famous criminal forced a decent girl to do this!”, “A famous criminal actually forced a female graduate student to do this…”
And I'm afraid that those reporters will write the news from Haruko Kitagami's perspective and portray her as a victim.
They won't be able to explain this, and it will instead be seen as a conspiracy theory, with accusations of officials protecting each other.
The public has an innate distrust of bureaucrats, and the media likes to challenge authority to attract attention.
Even if the truth is revealed, I will say that you are authoritarian and there is nothing you can do about it, and you will also provide Kitagami Haruko with a protective umbrella.
At that time, any action taken by the Metropolitan Police Department will be labeled as a "conspiracy theory."
This is exactly what the saying "It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it" means.
Therefore, in the current situation, the top priority is to prevent Kitagami Haruko from making a big fuss and drag them into the "public opinion war".
But in this case, the Metropolitan Police Department will have to bow its head in order to appease Haruko Kitagami.
But this means that Tang Ze and the other man who investigated the case must be punished, which is also a difficult thing.
If Tang Ze is to be administratively punished, it will inevitably have a huge impact internally, making the people below him hesitate, and will inevitably lead to constraints in future investigations.
Although these have eliminated external worries, this move is bound to cause internal troubles.
This is exactly why the Deputy Director of the Saitama Police Department came forward in person.
In general, the current situation can be big or small. No matter what we do, there will be advantages and disadvantages, but it depends on how we deal with it.
However, all those present were highly skilled people in high positions, and none of them did not understand the meaning of Commander Saitama calling them to the meeting today.
This was not intended to ask their opinions at all, but a direct decision was made.
Everyone present knew the relationship between Saitama and Karasawa, so the meaning of him presiding over the meeting was self-evident.
Knowing that the other party was going to support Tang Ze, he naturally wouldn't go out of his way to express his opinions.
The purpose of holding this meeting today is purely a formality, to unify the city's statements and to facilitate subsequent work.
As expected, a person belonging to the Saitama faction stood up decisively when no one spoke, and made a righteous statement that they would never compromise with criminals. Then this opinion was adopted.
The meeting continued, and the subsequent content was daily work. The meeting room was no longer as quiet as before, and people began to speak from time to time.
In the center of the long table, Saitama seemed to have fallen asleep and began to rest with his eyes closed.
But behind him, Sihuayuan quietly left the meeting room and called someone who was in the vortex.
........
"I see. Thank you very much."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ze put away his phone, looked at the worried-looking Naoki Kamii beside him, and said with a smile, "Why, you can't handle this little pressure?"
"Ah... after all, this is the situation now."
Naoki Kamii sighed and said, "Senior, you must be fine, but I can't say for sure..."
In his opinion, he was probably the best person to take the blame in this matter.
"What are you thinking about?"
Tang Ze understood his doubts and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Si Huayuan just called me to talk about this matter. It's been resolved."
"Eh? It's been resolved?" Naoki Kamii was stunned when he heard that, then he was overjoyed: "So it's all right now?"
"Who said it's okay?"
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Isn't there still a case that hasn't been solved?
If you want to break the deadlock, you have to bring her to justice. This is the real way to solve the problem.
Otherwise, the higher-ups would probably be in a difficult position.
Commander Saitama, although you have helped us shoulder the burden, you don't want to leave it here forever."
"Of course not!" Naoki Kamii quickly expressed his opinion.
However, just as the call was hung up, Tang Ze's phone rang again.
