Chapter 27 Newcomer Kurosawa Joins the Company Online
"These two are newly recruited officers from the Violent Crimes Division 3 of the First Investigative Division," Samezakijima announced to the crowd.
He is the superintendent of the First Investigative Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, and Inspector Megure's superior.
"I am Jingxia Yao, please give me your guidance!"
Inside the office, Jingxia Yao bowed deeply to his seated colleagues, displaying great enthusiasm, like a radiant little sun.
"Clap clap clap—" A round of enthusiastic applause erupted, a welcome to Inoshita Yao. The orange-haired police officer squinted his eyes, revealing his perfect eight teeth in response.
"Hello everyone, I am Kurosawa Jin. It's nice to meet you." Kurosawa Jin smiled warmly and bowed deeply with great sincerity.
However, the applause after his self-introduction was sparse, and the crowd's expressions were not very pleasant; some were even whispering among themselves.
"That's the young master of the Kurosawa Group? He looks quite weak..."
"I heard that Department Head Odagiri personally recruited him!"
"Could he have gotten in through connections?"
"..."
Kurosawa Jin had very sharp hearing, and these few words of gossip naturally reached his ears.
The atmosphere of welcoming them was clearly very different from that of welcoming Jingxia Yao; it was like night and day.
It's a bit awkward...
"Ahem, we're colleagues now, so we should be tolerant of each other and work together." Inspector Megure stood up to help Jin Kurosawa out of the awkward situation.
"Brother Kurosawa, I never thought we'd become colleagues!" The short, stout man extended his hand in a friendly manner to shake hands with Kurosawa Jin.
Samezaki Shimaji said with surprise, "Megure, you actually know Kurosawa. Then I'll leave them to you."
"yes."
"Kurosawa, do a good job. The minister has high hopes for you!" Samezakijima Osamu patted Kurosawa Jin on the shoulder and gave him his advice.
"I understand, and I will live up to your expectations." Kurosawa Jin said solemnly, his green eyes gleaming with determination.
Samezaki Shima laughed, said a few more casual words, and then turned and went back to his office.
Kurosawa Jin had an impression of this superior, who had appeared in episode 185 as a retired police officer who was dedicated to catching the murderer who killed his daughter.
"Come with me this way." Inspector Megure led the two new recruits to their posts. "These are your seats, right next to each other. I'll sit over there."
He pointed to a chair not far away, on which a yellowish-brown coat was draped. “If you need anything, you can come to me.”
“Inspector Megure, I have a question,” Inoshita Yo popped his head out and raised his hand to ask.
"What's wrong, Brother Inoshita?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes, looking like he was very willing to answer his junior's questions.
The orange-haired youth's eyes darted around as he stole a glance at Kurosawa Jin. He then turned his back to Inspector Megure and whispered, "Inspector Megure, why do our seniors—no, I mean the entire Metropolitan Police Department—seem to be so unfriendly to Jin?"
From the moment he and Kurosawa Jin stepped through the gates of the Metropolitan Police Department, the gossip never stopped, and every policeman they encountered on the way looked at Kurosawa Jin with increasing displeasure.
Taking advantage of Inspector Megure's opportunity to speak, he voiced the doubts that had been lingering in his mind since he joined the Metropolitan Police Department.
"You mean this? I guess it's because of that incident before." Inspector Megure's lips twitched, and his eyes turned into classic crescent-shaped eyes.
"What is it?" Jingxia Yao's curiosity was immediately piqued.
Inspector Megure turned his head to steal a glance at Kurosawa Jin, then quickly turned back, only to find Kurosawa Jin staring blankly at the two whispering to each other, oblivious to their conversation.
He began, "That day, I received a case as usual, about a shooting that occurred on Beika Street..."
“That guy is so arrogant, he’s offended almost everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department.” Inspector Megure stroked his beard.
Hei, with his exceptional hearing, listened to the whole story in silence.
Who else could be the extremely hated person mentioned in the story? Of course, it's Bai Miao, the head of the security department at the Kurosawa Group! (See Chapter 10 for details)
Back then, this fashionable young man driving a flashy, girly luxury car really infuriated the police officers at the Metropolitan Police Department with his brilliant speech.
Under the principle of "love me, love my dog", Kurosawa Jin, as Bai Miao's boss, naturally received unanimous hostility from everyone.
What is this? A disastrous start? Kurosawa Jin was somewhat helpless and silently decided to go back and deduct all of Bai Miao's bonus.
"Oh~" After learning the whole story, Inoshita Yo suddenly realized what had happened, and his eyes looked at Kurosawa Jin with a hint of pity.
"Ahem, don't tell Brother Kurosawa about this, lest he be upset," Inspector Megure said to Inoshita Yo, overflowing with kindness.
“OK!” Jingxia Yao made a gesture of pulling a zipper on his mouth.
"Ahem, Inspector Megure, have you finished talking?" The vengeful Jin Kurosawa couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him.
"Haha, Kurosawa, alright, alright." Inspector Megure chuckled sheepishly, patting his round head.
"By the way, I haven't seen Officer Mori yet. Is he on a mission?" Kurosawa Jin asked, pretending not to hear what the two were saying.
"Brother Mori, sigh—" Inspector Megure's expression changed, he frowned and let out a long sigh.
"Because of some things, Mori resigned and now it seems he has changed careers and is working as a private investigator."
As expected, the timeline seems to be slowly progressing, Kurosawa Jin thought to himself, calculating his age.
He is 22 years old now, while the other five members of the police academy group are in their second year of high school and are only 17 years old. It will be 5 years before they enter the police academy.
Based on this calculation, there are still 12 years until the first year of Conan's creation, when Conan will be born. At that time, Kurosawa Jin will be 34 years old, and Kudo Shinichi will become 7-year-old Conan.
Kurosawa Jin: Hmm...
He's at the age where he should be an uncle, uh... it seems like he could have a child as old as Conan.
"Ahem." Kurosawa Jin was startled by his own thought process, and his expression became a little tense.
"Jin, what were you thinking about just now?" Inoshita Yao scratched his head in confusion. "Inspector Megure is gone, what were you spacing out for!"
The short, stout figure was no longer around them; Inspector Megure had left after finishing his conversation with Kogoro Mouri.
"It's nothing." Kurosawa Jin coughed lightly and sat down at his workstation, which he had just set up.
He said calmly, "I heard everything you just said."
"What!" Jingxia Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Do you have super hearing?"
He once again redefined his understanding of his contemporaries. This person not only had eyes that could see a thousand miles and top-notch sniping skills, but also such keen hearing. Was this person even human?
"Now that you understand, what do you plan to do?" Inoshita Yao also sat down in a chair. "I'll still be working in the Metropolitan Police Department in the future, so I can't afford to offend people at the beginning."
"Why don't we go find Chunyan? He's full of clever ideas, he'll definitely have a solution."
"No need." Kurosawa Jin shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Actually, there's no need to worry unnecessarily. Letting actions speak for themselves is the best way."
"Hmm, that makes sense." Jingxia Yao stroked his chin.
——
A few days passed quickly, and Kurosawa Jin captured the hearts of many policewomen. No wonder, Kurosawa Jin is so handsome and gentle, he's practically the most handsome police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department.
This drew another wave of hatred from the male police officers, but it was no big deal for Kurosawa Jin; he's popular with both men and women.
Sure enough, after solving countless difficult cases, Kurosawa Jin earned the admiration of most of the police officers.
However, a small number of people are still causing trouble for Kurosawa Jin, just like now.
"Hey, newbie!" A policeman with a buzz cut and dead fish eyes walked into Kurosawa Jin's seat and slammed a document on his desk.
"Write this case report!"
His commanding tone and imperious manner were immediately off-putting.
Kurosawa Jin glanced at the few sheets of paper and guessed that the other party wanted to order him to do some work for him.
"Get lost!" Kurosawa Jin said calmly, then continued with his own business.
"Newbie! How dare you talk to your seniors like that! Don't be ungrateful!" the dead-fish-eyed man said viciously.
Hearing these words, Jingxia Yao, who was sitting to the side, could not bear to see his brother being bullied. "Are you a child? Didn't your mother teach you to do things for yourself?"
"you……"
"What do you mean, oh, I know, you can't even write a report, my God! How did you even get into the Metropolitan Police Department!" Inoshita Yao's expression was exaggerated, and he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around could hear him.
"Look everyone! This senior colleague has been working for so many years and still can't write a report! You must have gotten in through connections!"
"You, you, you..." The dead-fish-eyed man glared at Jingxia Yao, so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
He tried to retaliate, but was stopped by a policeman nearby.
"Stop fooling around in the tree! What kind of skill is it to show off in front of the newcomers!"
The police officer had always disliked the dead-eyed man's behavior, and his standing up for Kurosawa Jin was just a side effect.
"That's right, that's right."
"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"
Everyone agreed, calling him a dead-fish-eyed cricket.
"Ha!" The dead-fish-eyed man glared fiercely at Kurosawa Jin, then reluctantly picked up the documents and left. "Consider yourself lucky!"
After the uninvited guest left, Inoshita Yao moved his chair next to Kurosawa Jin.
He asked, puzzled, "Ah Zhen, you just stood by and watched him bully you! I remember you weren't like that!"
"Just a clown," Kurosawa Jin scoffed. "Aren't you guys still here? I can't be bothered to talk to him."
You'll always encounter a few of these petty people in the workplace. If you go along with them and agree to their demands the first time, they'll think you're easy to manipulate and become even more ruthless.
Generally speaking, people who bully the weak and fear the strong wouldn't bother with Kurosawa Jin. Kurosawa Jin has such a powerful backer; anyone who would cause trouble for him is just a brainless dead-eyed man!
Kurosawa Jin didn't want to waste his breath on someone who had no brains.
"What if I don't say anything? Will you help him?"
"Haha, Yao, you can't possibly not help me!" Kurosawa Jin said confidently.
"However, if you don't help me, I'll beat him up first, and then I'll beat you up!" he said with a sly smile, uttering chilling words.
Inoshita Yo was well aware of Kurosawa Jin's terrifying skills, and instantly felt a chill run down his spine. Being beaten by Kurosawa Jin could really kill someone.
