Chapter 785 Little Police Officers

"I didn't expect Mr. Hatoyama to pass away so suddenly..."

"Yes, I haven't heard any news about the old man being unwell or being hospitalized before. Why did he die suddenly?"

"I heard that he died of a heart attack. After all, he was old..."

"This age is enough. I don't know if I can live to this age when I grow old..."

Mr. Hatoyama passed away. The cause of death was a sudden heart attack. He died due to ineffective rescue efforts, so it seemed very sudden.

The old man's funeral was held at the Hatoyama family's mansion. As an important figure in the older generation of Japanese politics, all the other Japanese political families sent people to the funeral, except the Karasuma family.

Not only that, due to the Hatoyama family's profound influence in the police community, even a group of police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department came to express their condolences.

In the area designated for guests to rest outside the mourning hall, Hattori Heizo and Odagiri Toshiro found a place in the corner and sat down.

Both of them currently have only police ranks, and can barely reach the threshold of mid-level police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department. Therefore, they are not qualified to stay in the mourning hall of Mr. Hatoyama for a long time. After sending flowers, they hurriedly came out.

"The head of the Hatoyama family, the next one must be the Hatoyama police chief, right?" Hattori Heizo looked in the direction of the mourning hall and suddenly said.

The Police Chief Hatoyama he mentioned naturally refers to the son of Mr. Hatoyama, who is currently in the mourning hall dealing with the guests who came to express their condolences.

"It must be so, who else could it be?"

Odagiri Toshiro seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed.

"If Inspector Shirakawa is still here, he is the one who appears there now."

Coincidentally, both of them were personally named by Chief of Police Shirakawa to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department and focus on training.

"What happened to Chief Baihe is a loss to the police community..."

Looking away, Hattori Heizo's eyes were deep.

"However, given the age of Police Chief Hatoyama, I'm afraid he will retire from this position in just a few years.

Odagiri, what do you think the Hatoyama family will be like by then? "

Odagiri Toshiro did not accept Hattori Heizo's words. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, and said quietly:

"Hattori, these are the matters of the big shots above and have nothing to do with us. We only need to do our own things well."

Even little people like them are somewhat aware that after the deaths of Chief Inspector Shirakawa and Mr. Hatoyama in recent years, the once powerful Hatoyama family has inevitably gone downhill.

"The Hatoyama family's affairs indeed have little to do with us, but what about the Metropolitan Police Department?"

The two of them communicated in lowered voices, and Hattori Heizo continued to ask:

"When the time comes, who will be the police chief?"

When the future police chief Hatoyama retires, who will take over this position?

Originally, when Inspector Shirakawa was still there, there was no need to think too much about this issue, but now it is different. The decline of the Hatoyama family in the future is inevitable, and the position of Police Inspector will inevitably fall into the hands of others. superior……

As for this "other person", including the two people here, there has actually been speculation in the Metropolitan Police Department.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but at this moment, behind the two of them, a police officer hurriedly walked into the mourning hall from outside. Both of them looked back and saw that this person was Hakuba who had been successively promoted to the position of police inspector after the death of Chief Inspector Shirakawa.

"This is an obvious thing." Odagiri Toshiro retracted his gaze and said suddenly.

"In the past few years, the White Horse Police Inspector has become very close to the Chief of Police Hatoyama, and many important cases have been entrusted to him... With such an obvious statement, the future Police Director will definitely be the White Horse Police Inspector. Under surveillance, this is probably what Mr. Hatoyama meant when he was alive."

"What do you think of Hakuba police monitoring this person?" Hattori Heizo continued to ask.

"Prudent and mature, with a kind and honest personality, he is not a person who is prone to making mistakes." Odagiri Toshiro answered without thinking too much.

"I also believe so."

After a short silence, Hattori Heizo suddenly spoke and said something that surprised Odagiri Toshiro.

"Odagiri, I decided to go to Osaka on transfer."

"What did you say?"

"I've been thinking about this for a long time."

He raised his hand to stop the suddenly excited Odagiri Toshiro. Hattori Heizo looked at him and said seriously:

"There are too many capable people in the Metropolitan Police Department. We are the ones who were named by Chief Inspector Shirakawa. The Chief Inspector does things in an eclectic way. In the past, when Chief Inspector Shirakawa was still there, we naturally didn't have to worry about anything. We just needed to If you work hard, you can move up easily.

But now that Inspector Baihe is no longer here, and the future Inspector Whitehorse is a person who likes to play by the rules. After Inspector Whitehorse is appointed, the police department will probably have to do things based on seniority.

We people have no identity, no background, no background, and we don’t know when we will get our turn...

Odagiri, let me be honest with you. I consider myself a capable person. I don’t want to waste my time among those who are talking about capital. Instead of doing that, I would rather go out and try my best. Maybe I can find more people locally. Opportunity, what do you think? "

"...I still plan to stay at the Metropolitan Police Department." After a long silence, Odagiri Toshiro gave a completely different answer than Hattori Heizo.

"Compared to the local county government, the Metropolitan Police Department is the most central place after all. I still think there are more opportunities here than in the local areas."

"Okay, these are our own decisions. There is no need to distinguish between good and bad. In the days to come, we will work hard separately."

Hattori Heizo had no intention of persuading him anymore and picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's almost done. I will submit the application after I go back this time."

"So urgent? I remember that your wife was pregnant not long ago?"

"There is no other way. The current Hatoyama Police Chief is a very careless person. It would be easier for me to leave while he is still in his position. Otherwise, when the White Horse Police Inspector comes up, it may not be easy to leave. "

"Fine……"

While the two were communicating quietly, they did not notice that another male policeman with a police title entered the mourning hall.

The male policeman held a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Since Mr. Hatoyama’s funeral was open to police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, no one stopped him along the way.

In the mourning hall, Mr. Hatoyama’s coffin was surrounded by circles of wreaths. Several high-ranking political figures and some relatives of the Hatoyama family were grieving or talking in low voices, including They met the Hatoyama Police Chief and the White Horse Police Superintendent.
