Chapter 60
After graduation, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji were assigned to the □□ processing team of the mobile group of the security department as promised, Date Kou went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for training, and Morobushi Kagemitsu joined the Metropolitan Police Department. As for Furuya Rei, there are rumors that he joined the Security Bureau of the National Police Department, and he cannot be contacted for the time being.
Kono Seira, who had been severely unsatisfactory in his studies from the time he entered school to the time he graduated, reported to the Criminal Investigation Department's Second Division for a month and almost lost himself in the fierce praise from his seniors.
Investigation Section 2 is a unit that deals with economic crimes such as fraud, bribery, illegal transactions, etc.* They don't have to deal with murderers and corpses, but with thick files and documents in the filing room all day long.
Compared to the Investigation Section 1, which is responsible for serious criminal cases and often steals the show in various film and television dramas, the presence of Section 2 is almost invisible.
For most people, especially young police officers who have just graduated from the police academy and are eager to make a career, the work of Section 2 is extremely boring. Moreover, every word must be carefully memorized, otherwise it is easy to miss key evidence.
After working as an office clerk for half a month, Kono Seiryoshi was assigned his first case report. As soon as he saw it for the first time, the woodchuck in him screamed "Ah!!"
These seemingly perfect but actually full of traps contracts, and the transaction records that repeatedly jump on the edge of illegality and crime... they look so familiar! Really so familiar!
Isn't this what he did when he was in the mafia!!!
Of course, one thing must be clarified here. The mafia here does not refer to the Vongola.
The Vongola headquarters is in Sicily, Italy, and the second most important base is Namise-sama, Japan. Although the laws of the two countries are different, some principles apply everywhere.
Most of the transactions of the Vongola are conducted through legal channels, especially the Fengji Foundation headed by Hibari Kyoya. Although it collects protection fees every six months, the taxes paid and charity donations are at the forefront. It is definitely a reasonable, legal and ethical company with a good conscience.
In the last world he went to, the port mafia was the one that did everything it could to exploit loopholes in the law. Even if they were doing things in a fair and just manner, their long criminal record would easily make them subject to government scrutiny and restrictions, so they were also trying their best to whitewash some of their underground businesses. Kouno Seiryoshi spent three years in the port mafia, accumulating a wealth of experience, but he never thought that he would be able to play a role one day.
Compared to the methods used by the Port Mafia, these cases handled by Investigation Section 2 are nothing but child's play.
With a strange feeling of reunion, Kono Seira spent the whole morning finishing the files that had been piled up in the Investigation Section 2 for a week. When he raised his head, his wrists were sore from overuse. He wanted to go to the tea room to make a cup of hot tea, but when he turned his chair halfway, he suddenly found that the seniors around him were staring at him in amazement.
Kouno Seiryoshi: “?!”
...Oh no! Did he reveal something?!
Shit, I forgot, how can a newcomer be so skilled right after joining the job! He is in the police station now, he will not be arrested on the spot as a potential criminal! !
Just as Gongye Shengliang was getting so nervous that he began to sweat and racked his brains to think of how to find an excuse, the dead silent office suddenly erupted into applause and cheers.
"Well done, Gongye! We finally have a new super rookie in Class 2, woooooo!"
"As a senior, I should be ashamed, but why am I so moved? Is this the light of hope?"
"Now let's see how the people next door can laugh at Section 2 for having no sense of existence! Great, this year's newcomer performance assessment competition will definitely be a success!"
Some people even cried with joy after receiving the documents he had processed.
"Kunino, you are simply, simply a genius born for Investigation Section 2!!"
A genius born for the Second Investigation Division, whose previous job was in the mafia, Kono Seira: "..."
Faced with such a heavy compliment, he took a deep breath with difficulty and showed a determined look: "It's all because of the good teaching of the instructor."
On the other side, Matsuda Jinpei, who had just finished training, took off his protective suit, unlocked his mobile phone and sent a text message.
"Matsuda: Let's go to the cafeteria to eat lunch together. By the way, how was your first case?"
While waiting for the reply, Matsuda Jinpei opened the bottle and drank a sip of water. His cell phone vibrated and he tilted his head to take a look.
"Kimino: OK! I'll wait for you at the door!"
"Kimino: ...Let's not talk about the case for now. I learned something today."
"Kimino: Putting your past self in jail, maybe that's what growth is."
Matsuda Jinpei: "...???"
What the hell have you grown up to?
--
The first month as a police officer was so busy and fulfilling. Under the encouragement of the super rookie, the work efficiency of the second investigation section was directly doubled. The boss was very pleased and generously waved his hand to grant a day of vacation to Kono Seira.
Police work requires 24-hour on-call, almost all year round. Not to mention the local police station where Date Kou is in charge of everything, the training of the □□ processing team, an elite unit, is also full every day. Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji, who were recruited in advance, are especially well taken care of. Not to mention vacations, even the time for meals and rest is squeezed out.
The three of them could only meet at lunch in the cafeteria. During lunch, Kono Seiryoshi expressed his concern for the physical and mental health of his two classmates.
In response, Hagiwara Kenji smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine. It's Jinpei who is being paid special attention by the seniors. Even his lunch time is taken up by him."
He thought of how Jinpei Matsuda's handsome face darkened when he heard his name on the list of those to receive additional training, and he almost laughed out of sympathy.
Kono Seiryoshi looked at his phone, looking worried. "I asked the squad leader and Jingguang if they were free to come out for dinner, but everyone seemed very busy."
He guessed that Date Kou would not be able to come, after all, grassroots police officers are really very hard-working. But he didn't know what Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was also in the Metropolitan Police Department, was busy with, and he had not been seen for a month.
Morofushi Jingguang replied to the message in the early morning, saying apologetically that he might not be able to spare time for a long time in the future. Kono Seiryoshi, who wanted to ask about his recent situation, had to give up and gave a few simple instructions in the text message, but he has not received a reply until now.
"It's great to have a vacation." Putting the food tray on the food table, Hagiwara Kenji sighed, "Xiao Zhenping and I don't have any hope of taking a vacation this month, so remember to relax for us."
"...You have worked hard in every way."
So, the next day, Kono Seiryoshi sat alone in the cafe waiting for his order, chatting with the system in a rambling manner.
He had lived too comfortably in the past few months and almost forgot that he had a system. During this time, the biggest role of the system was to help look after the cats. Yun Su cats looked at each other and even saw emotions. After Jihuako was sent to Matsuda Jinpei's apartment, Guangqiu closed himself with true feelings.
Kono Seira stroked the system's smooth head in a comforting manner: "I'll be able to go see Hanako soon. Isn't it much happier to think this way?"
[Do you mean the one you see from the pet surveillance?] The light ball hugged itself bashfully, [Contractor, are you painting cakes for the AI?]
Kono Seiryoshi: “…”
Kono Seiryoshi: "The key to the Jinpei family is in my pocket."
Light Ball: [……]
Light Ball: [The Wuwu Contractor——]
Light ball: [Love light wave emission.gif]
While the system was making jokes, the coffee and afternoon tea ordered by Gong Ye Shengliang were also delivered and packaged in brown paper bags.
On normal days, he would stay at home and play games, but today, after changing several cassettes, he felt uninterested. After much thought, he decided to go out for a walk and clean up the apartment of a busy colleague.
This cafe is very close to his home, but it is quite a distance from Matsuda Jinpei's apartment. While waiting for the bus, Kono Seira received a call from a senior from the Second Investigation Division.
The voice on the other end was very urgent: "Gong Ye, are you free now? I just found that a document was left outside, and no one in the office can leave now. Can you help me get it?"
Gongye Shengliang was slightly startled and did not answer directly. He frowned and asked, "Is it an urgent document?"
"I was going to use it this afternoon. I left it at the Nishikawa Pharmaceutical Factory, as you know." The senior's voice was filled with annoyance. "Forget it, I'll go back and get it after the meeting. Sorry, I'm bothering you even though I'm on vacation."
I remember the company he mentioned, Seiyoshi Kono. Recently, Section 2 was investigating the Nishikawa Group's bribery of government members. If the documents were really lost there, it would be a bit troublesome for the Metropolitan Police Department.
Gongye Shengliang opened the map on his mobile phone and estimated that if everything went smoothly, the round trip would take about an hour, so he could make it in time.
He calmed himself down and said, "It's okay, I'll get it."
The senior heaved a sigh of relief and thanked him gratefully.
Before hanging up the phone, the other party was silent for a long time before saying the last sentence:
"Remember to be safe."
Kono Seiyoshi walked down from the bus stop and looked for a suitable place to take a taxi. On the right was a crowded road, and a car beside him honked impatiently, drowning out the sound of the microphone in his mobile phone.
He didn't hear clearly what his senior said, and when he wanted to ask again, the screen showed "Communication ended".
