Chapter 206 Thirty-one Presidents
It's a new month, and the Metropolitan Police Department is still busy. Both the Criminal Division and the Security Division have been working overtime for several consecutive days since the end of last month.
The reason for this was the bombs that were discovered not long ago after being reported by a "kind passerby".
For some unknown reasons, this major case, which should have been considered a terrorist attack, was not transferred to the police department, but was fully handled by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Everyone was very motivated at first - after all, since Officer Akae resigned, Tokyo hasn't had such a big case for a long time. Although a quiet time is the best affirmation of public security, having a case to exercise the elites' brains is definitely more exciting for them.
This enthusiasm lasted for four days, and after dismantling a number of bombs that were as numerous as if all the gunpowder in the Japanese gunpowder depot had been stolen, it was mostly dissipated. On the fifth day, everyone came to work with dull eyes.
At first they thought it was just an ordinary bombing case, but they called it a big case because the "good Samaritan" who reported the case was actually the police officer Chi Jiang whom they admired.
However, after receiving the intelligence from the Ministry of Public Security, the colleagues in the Criminal Division who were in charge of searching for the criminals still could not catch the mastermind after searching for several days.
Not to mention the mobile team! They really don't want to recall that they just defused a bomb in a storage room in this mall yesterday, and the next day they received news that there was another bomb in the mall's underground parking lot... Things like this happened one after another in the past four days.
They actually wanted to complain about how stubborn the prisoners were, but as more and more bombs were defused, everyone realized that something was wrong.
This amount, and the distribution... is enough to blow up Tokyo! How could this be just an ordinary case? If the culprit is the same, then this is clearly a terrorist attack against all of Tokyo!
"No wonder that person handed the case over to the Metropolitan Police Department." Someone in the First Mobile Team's office suddenly sighed without any context.
The others seemed to understand what he said instantly and nodded in agreement.
"To be honest, when I saw this case, I wondered if that person had recently taken on another secret mission, so he didn't have time to deal with this one, so he handed it over... Now I know." The person sitting next to him complained, "After all, with this amount, even if that person has three heads and six arms and can stay up for three days and three nights to defuse the bombs, he still can't defuse them all."
The colleague who was closer to the door suddenly fell silent, and then denied it in a weathered tone: "No, if it's that person, then it's really okay, you guys came later and I don't know..."
He glanced around to make sure he didn't see the familiar curly-haired and semi-long-haired officer, then lowered his voice and gossiped with his colleagues about what he knew.
"I heard that he only slept this much per day for the past seven years." He made a three with his hands, "and spent the rest of the time on missions and solving cases. He solved tens of thousands of cases in seven years. Otherwise, how could he have almost become a superintendent of police at the age of 27?"
I say almost because before leaving his post, Akae Nazuki had already been rewarded for his contribution in destroying the Karasuma Group and organization - and of course, those people above wanted to use the title to keep him in the Metropolitan Police Department, so they directly confirmed his identity as "Chief Inspector Akae" by promoting him twice because of his death.
It was one level higher than the rank of Superintendent of Police that he was about to be promoted to thanks to his successful case. Unfortunately, Akae Nayue had no interest in continuing to follow orders in the Metropolitan Police Department and resigned without blinking an eye.
"Besides, why do you think the Investigation Section 1 was so excited when they couldn't find any clues in the past few days? It's because of that guy who followed up on the front line the whole time and took up almost all the work of catching the criminal's trace. How can the Investigation Section 1 not be excited to welcome back their director after a long absence..." said the police officer who has been in the job for many years with emotion.
"You don't know, right? That guy is from the same class as the captain and they've lived together since graduation. Before he resigned, he was dragged home from the office by the captain and his team every week to sleep and rest!" He became emotional as he spoke, "... every time the reason was that he worked on a case all night long..."
“…”
"If I work this way, I'll probably get promoted but also die suddenly... Sorry, I just thought about it subconsciously..."
The others nodded in understanding and empathy: "It's okay, because we thought so at the beginning, but that person is really strong. He can continue to work overtime despite Captain Matsuda's cold face!"
A faint voice came from behind him.
"Really? What's wrong with my cold face?"
Everyone turned their heads stiffly and saw their captain wearing sunglasses and Captain Hagiwara from the next squadron at the door behind them. The former was looking at them sternly with a cigarette in his mouth, while the latter was leaning against the door with his hand covering his mouth and laughing secretly.
It must be said that both of them have a good face, at least the kind of good face that the female police officers who participated in the social gathering can't stop praising. But every time this happens, others also want to complain about their own captain, who is dressed in black with sunglasses and cigarettes, which is more ugly than □□.
"Ha, haha, Captain, you're late today..." Someone tried to change the subject in this way.
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when someone tapped him lightly on the back of his head with a folder.
"No smoking in the office, Matsuda." Ida Kou crossed his arms and looked at his classmate with a half-smile, "You don't want to eat dark food with Na Yue, do you?"
"Not really, squad leader, I didn't even light it." Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his curly hair, took the cigarette out of his mouth and played with it in his hand. He glared at the young boy who saw the squad leader coming but didn't remind him. "And to be honest, how dare I feed that little bastard dark food? Are you afraid that his revenge won't be fierce enough?"
Jinpei Matsuda complained bluntly.
"A guy who calls his 28-year-old classmate a 'little bastard' is actually afraid of retaliation?" Hagiwara Kenji put his arm around his shoulder and laughed even more brazenly, "Xiao Zhenping, you better be careful, or Xiao Nayue will really come to take revenge on you after the confinement is over."
"The guy who called him 'Natsuki-chan' shouldn't have the right to say anything about me." Matsuda Jinpei rolled his eyes at him, but didn't shake the arm off his shoulder. "You know I called him a little bastard eight years ago."
"Yeah, it's amazing that he hasn't changed at all in eight years... I mean in terms of his willfulness." This time it was Ida Hang's turn to complain, "Remember to help me punch him a few more times later, so that guy will think about the consequences before he rushes out next time."
Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji looked at each other and said in unison, "If punching him twice would have worked, why would he still need to be put in solitary confinement?"
"..." Yi Dahang's mouth twitched, "That's true."
"Captain, are there no tasks today?" The people who had been secretly watching the show in the office suddenly remembered this question and quickly sent a representative to ask Jinpei Matsuda.
I got an 'oh you guys are still here' look from my captain, and he shook his head after thinking: "Didn't you pay attention to the fog in Yokohama yesterday? I think you got the news at that time. The previous case has come to an end, and the remaining bombs have been defuse."
The office workers who were working overtime cheered.
"——But I'm not sure if there will be other cases that require the temporary deployment of the mobile team." Matsuda Jinpei grinned, which made the office workers look like they deserved a beating. "However, I'm here to ask for leave today, so if there are any cases, remember to work overtime for me as well."
The cheers instantly turned into wails.
In fact, they all knew that if there was an emergency, their captain would definitely rush back at the first opportunity no matter where he was on vacation, but they just wanted to wail for their captain to take a leave!
The office finally quieted down after Matsuda and his two companions left noisily.
Someone suddenly said, "The little bastard the captain and the others were talking about, could it be that guy..."
"Well, don't ask too much about this kind of thing." The previous whistleblower looked up at the sky, "But I still agree with Captain Hagiwara's words... Captain Matsuda is the only one who called such a mature and powerful Officer Akae a little bastard."
If Akae Nazuki himself were to answer the question, the answer would be no. All five of his cats call him a little bastard, but the others would call him that depending on the situation, only Matsuda has been calling him that for eight years regardless of the weather.
The 28-year-old baby-faced mature man clenched his fists.
Yesterday, he dealt with the Shibuzawa Ryuhiko incident in Yokohama, and also detained Fukuchi Sakurachi in one go, and asked Dazai Osamu to split up with him to capture Fyodor.
All these things that could take a long time to complete individually were compressed into one day. The worst result is...
Yes, he is in confinement, starting today.
Chijiang Nayue rolled over on the sofa. Zhufu Jingguang, who was passing by with a sweeping robot in one hand, glanced at him, kindly picked up the small blanket that had fallen on the ground and covered Chijiang Nayue with it.
"Hiro brother, I want to..." He used the rare title of 'brother'!
"No going out, Nayue."
Zhu Fu Jingguang remained unmoved. He smiled at him tenderly, then leisurely continued walking upstairs holding the sweeping robot.
Chijiang Nayue rolled again and rolled to the inside of the sofa.
"Shouldn't you fill in the reports on these incidents?" Furiya Rei, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him in his home clothes, holding a notebook and working with his legs crossed, kindly glanced over, "Let's not talk about anything else, the Metropolitan Police Department--"
Chijiang Nayue, who was facing the sofa, covered her ears and childishly pretended that she couldn't hear anything.
Fūya Zero: "Aka, you're not going to let me help you make up for it, are you?"
"I've already retired!" Chijiang Nayue sat up straight, his messy black hair bouncing in the air. He said righteously, "I don't have a job in the Metropolitan Police Department anymore, why do I still need to write a report?"
"Yeah, you've already retired, why are you still at the forefront of the battle with Fukuchi Sakura?" Furiya Rei sneered, and he clipped up his hair that he hadn't had time to cut recently because it blocked his view, leaving a few strands of golden hair hanging from his forehead. "I heard that someone sneaked out late last night to meet with the Hounds."
He didn't realize that the clip he picked up casually in the bathroom on the first floor was the Pikachu hairpin that Kenji Hagiwara had bought to amuse Akae Nazuki.
"That was to prevent her from rebelling if she was dissatisfied with the result, not for the Metropolitan Police Department or the Police Department." Akae Nazuki tried to look away from the Pikachu hanging above Furuya Rei's head and said, "I was just completing the commission."
Last night, after Akae Nazuki handed the book about Fukuchi Sakurachi to the president, she immediately ran back to Tokyo and met with Okura Yeko, who had not received the news yet.
Okura Yezi is the deputy captain of the Hunting Dog Unit. Because she worships and admires Fukuchi Sakura, she is known as a Fukuchi fan in the military and police.
Then, when Akae Nazuki met her last night, she told him "I killed Fukuchi Sakurachi", and the conference room where they were talking literally exploded two seconds later.
No one knows what the two talked about afterwards. After the conversation, Okura Yezi hurried to Yokohama. After returning, she calmly accepted the position of acting captain of the Hound Unit and continued to do their original job of protecting the people.
"And Okura's ability is quite interesting." Akae Nazuki touched his chin, "If I had met her before the world fusion, Shinichi and Shiho wouldn't have to worry about drug A."
Furukaya Rei, who had been working overtime until his eyes were lifeless, hummed casually as if asking a question, and subconsciously began to mobilize information in his mind to recall what Okura Yezi's special ability was.
As the head of the Zero Division of the Police Department, Rei Furuya has seen the detailed information of all the Hound owners.
I remember now... Okura Yezi's ability [Breath of the Soul] can change the age of herself and the person she comes into contact with...? !
Fūya Rei suddenly raised his head and looked at Akae Nazuki who had approached him at some point.
He saw the light of revenge in the little devil's eyes!
Ten minutes later.
Morofushi Jingguang went downstairs and was originally preparing to go to the kitchen, but when he passed the living room, the former undercover elite, outstanding public security officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, and current intern member of the Tokyo Armed Detective Agency, fell into deep thought.
—Why are there two babies who look exactly like his friends fighting on the sofa in the living room?
Morofushi Jingguang felt that his brain had been sublimated.
Especially when the babies whose two teeth haven't grown in yet all turned to look at him and shouted at the same time: "Hiro/Hiro-kun, help me teach him a lesson!"
Hiro and Hiro chose to pick up both babies and beat them.
