Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 240 Two People with Different Thoughts
Hearing this, Makino picked up the prisoner on the ground and looked at Xiaolan helplessly.

Although Xiaolan asked, "Is the prisoner still alive?", he clearly heard another meaning from Xiaolan's slightly nervous tone:
——"You didn't beat the prisoner to death?!"

Makino threw the criminal against the wall and shook his head, saying, "Please, Xiaolan, I'm not a killer. How could I kill someone without knowing his identity?"

He could hear clearly the prisoner's whispers after he entered the room.

After hearing the sentence "I clearly warned you, but you still refused to give up accepting the inheritance", Makino had a rough basic judgment.

His previous guess was correct. It seemed that Miss Shanmei, who sold the jacket to Xiaolan, was not completely innocent.

On the side, although Xiaolan felt something was wrong, she still breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh~ I'm glad nothing happened..."

Since she couldn't see what was going on in the room at all, she couldn't help but panic when she heard the prisoner's movements completely disappear.

What if Brother Makino accidentally hits the prisoner's vitals in the pitch-dark environment...

Having been immersed in karate for many years, she knows better than anyone how terrifying Makino's skills and strength are!
Not long after, Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mori and others returned to the hospital after being contacted by Makino.

When he learned that the criminal not only did not escape, but also sent threatening letters and attacked Xiaolan again, even Inspector Megure, who usually had a good temper, had a look of anger on his face.

Since the criminal has been in the hospital, he must have known that the police have intervened and are investigating the case.

In this situation...how dare you do such a thing?
This guy doesn't take them, the police, seriously at all!
After learning the whole situation from Makino, Inspector Megure left the ward with his subordinates and the criminal.

In addition to interrogating the criminal, they also have to contact and investigate Miss Shanmei, a clerk at the handmade clothing store.

After Inspector Megure and others left, Makino also left the ward amid the thanks from Mouri, Kogoro and the other two.

……

Late at night the next day, near Mihua Pier.

Ireland drove while observing his surroundings carefully.

An hour ago, Rum sent him a message asking him to drive to the Rice Flower Pier to pick up a member of the organization who would tell him what to do next.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, in order to one day take revenge on Gin, Ireland still followed Rum's instructions and drove to the dock.

It wasn't long before Ireland drove to the vicinity of the destination designated by Rum.

As soon as he stopped the car, he saw a middle-aged man with dark hair, wearing a black shirt and black trousers, holding a black briefcase in his right hand.

The man was wearing a pair of ordinary round-frame glasses, giving him a harmless look.

This person is not tall, and can even be described as thin.

Ireland used the car lights to carefully observe the man in front of him, who looked no different from an ordinary office worker, with a frown on his face.

Just when he was wondering if he had remembered the address wrong, the man with the handbag walked to the front of the car, opened the passenger door and got in.

Before Ireland could speak, the man with glasses chuckled and said, "Drive quickly, Ireland. Our time is precious~"

Ireland:"……"

After a second of silence, Ireland smacked his lips and stepped on the accelerator with disdain.

Since this skinny-looking guy in front of him could call out his code name, he was undoubtedly the member of the organization that Rum mentioned.

Am I going to have to follow the instructions of this damn guy with glasses next?

Before Ireland could continue thinking, the man with glasses beside him suddenly looked at the sea outside the window with a smile and nodded slightly: "Yes, although you are very dissatisfied with me, you only show it on your face, and you didn't say anything extra or do anything extra~"

Ireland:"?"

After hearing this, which clearly sounded like a joke from a superior to his subordinate, Ireland slammed the brake pedal to the floor and took the opportunity to pull out a pistol from the side.

But before Ireland could point the gun at the man with glasses next to him, he felt a chill coming from his left temple and immediately stopped what he was doing.

The man with glasses pointed a gun at Ireland's temple with one hand and shook his head in disappointment: "Ireland, it's good to have a temper, but you also have to know the occasion~ Although your physical ability may be better than mine, this is... inside a car!"

Before Ireland could say anything else, he saw the bespectacled man next to him reach his left hand out of his pocket and toss a small dark green object onto his lap.

After seeing what was on his leg, Ireland's face darkened. "Grenade? Ramsay, you don't really think you can kill me?"

When Ireland said his code name, the man with glasses' eyes flashed with an inexplicable light: "Oh? You know my code name?"

"If it weren't for Lord Rum's order... Ramsay, I would have killed you long ago." Ireland put down the gun in his hand, ignored the gun pointed at his temple, threw the grenade on his leg to his side, and stepped on the accelerator again.

Seeing this, Ramsay looked at Ireland deeply, put away his pistol and grenade, and a strange smile flashed across his lips.

Ireland, who was standing by, did not notice the strange smile that flashed across Ramsay's mouth.

The next second, Ramsay raised his hands above his head, turned his head to look out the window, and chuckled, "Since it is Lord Rum's order, let's get along well in the next period of time~"

Ireland glanced at Ramsay beside him and said seriously, "You should have investigated it, right? Who took the memory card?"

Ramsay said, "The answer to this question is your next mission. The person who took the memory card not only killed people in Saitama Prefecture, but he also seemed to have killed people in several other areas in the same way and took an item from the victim as a souvenir."

Hearing this, Ireland frowned and said, "So you don't know? Then what's the point of you being here?"

Ramsay turned his head to look at Ireland and chuckled, "Of course it's to help you change your appearance~"

"Disguise?" Ireland was puzzled.

Rams nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that the Metropolitan Police Department has already taken notice of this case. In order to prevent the police from catching the murderer and obtaining the memory card before us, the organization needs you to infiltrate the Metropolitan Police Department."

Ireland turned to look at Ramsay and asked, "Since you can disguise yourself, why don't you go undercover and infiltrate the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Ramsay spread his hands and said, "Unfortunately, the size difference between me and the person I'm disguising myself as is quite large, and I have other tasks to do~"

Ireland:"……"

When Ramsay saw that Ireland accepted this "task", a cold light flashed in his eyes.

……

The next morning, in Makino's office in the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Makino carefully read the document on the "Internal Reform Plan of the Metropolitan Police Department" in his hand, taking a sip of coffee from time to time.

Although the White Horse Police Chief Superintendent previously said that this so-called reform would take some time to be officially implemented, judging from the level of detail in this document, this matter may have entered the "final stage" before it officially begins.

According to the contents of the report, he and Minister Odagiri understood correctly that Superintendent Hakuba did intend to establish a new management department to connect and integrate the various "practical departments" within the Metropolitan Police Department.

Regardless of whether Superintendent Whitehorse really wanted to reduce the crime rate or to leave a significant mark when he was superintendent, this matter can be said to be a foregone conclusion.

Including Ministers Makino and Odagiri, as well as the figurehead Superintendent Hakuba, the first members of this new management department totaled 13 people.

In addition to the "Inspector General" level ministers of each department, the names of two Superintendents of Police are also listed.

Makino was no stranger to these two police inspectors, as he had seen them several times at faction gatherings.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next Superintendent of Police will be chosen from among them and another Police Minister.

It is worth mentioning that these three people are members of the "Toda faction" where Makino belongs.

It can be said that this new management department has almost gathered most of the "power" of the Metropolitan Police Department and is a well-deserved "top department".

The officer with the lowest police rank among them was Makino, which was the main reason why Minister Odagiri was extremely happy after hearing about this matter.

hint?

No! Superintendent Hakuba has almost made clear Makino's "future path"!
If nothing unexpected happens, Makino might not even have to wait until he is thirty to climb to the position of "Superintendent" and truly step into the center of power in the Metropolitan Police Department!
——“Boom boom boom!”

Just as Makino was carefully reading the details about "strengthening cooperation among departments", there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Come in!" Hearing the knock on the door that was obviously anxious, Makino put down the documents in his hand.

Judging from the breath and footsteps, the person outside the door should be Inspector Hasegawa.

If it wasn't an urgent matter, given his personality, he would never knock on the door like that.

The next second, Inspector Hasegawa opened the door immediately, walked quickly to Makino and bowed: "Counselor, Manager Matsumoto just called me and there is an important case meeting that requires your participation!"

"Important case?" Makino frowned slightly.

Inspector Hasegawa nodded and said, "That's right! It's a large-scale serial murder case! Police officers from all over the country seem to be here. Manager Matsumoto wants you to sit in on the meeting. And... do I need to contact Minister Odagiri?"

Makino shook his head. "No need. I can talk to Counselor Uno after the meeting. The minister just arrived in Kyoto yesterday and should be in a meeting now. I'll find out the situation first."

"Yes!" Inspector Hasegawa nodded, then immediately turned around and walked to the door to open it for Makino.

Makino stood up and walked towards the large conference room of the Investigation Section 1, but on his way to the conference room, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

Not long after, Makino arrived at the door of the meeting room of the Investigation Section 1.

After seeing Makino, the police officers in the corridor bowed and saluted.

At this time, Manager Matsumoto and Inspector Megure also walked to the door of the conference room.

After seeing Makino, Manager Matsumoto immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Counselor, I just heard about this from Megure yesterday morning, so I didn't bother you!"

Makino turned to look at Manager Matsumoto and nodded, "It's okay. Most of the people should be here by now, right? Let's go in and talk."

"Yes!" Manager Matsumoto and Inspector Megure nodded immediately and walked in front to help Makino open the door of the conference room.

The moment he entered the door, Makino looked at Manager Matsumoto carefully, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Although this Manager Matsumoto's facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice are similar to those in the past, he is clearly not "his real self".

When he received the notification from Inspector Hasegawa just now, he had already guessed the general idea.

He had a good relationship with Officer Matsumoto and they had often worked together on cases.

Generally speaking, when something important or urgent happens, Manager Matsumoto will call him first.

Instead of following the normal procedure, he contacted his assistant Hasegawa first and then asked Hasegawa to contact him.

The only problem is... Vermouth should still be in London.

Who helped this member of the organization to disguise himself?

It can't be that Rum did it himself, right?
……

Seeing Makino and his companions come in, the police officers in the conference room immediately returned to their seats and bowed respectfully to them.

Just then, Makino saw a man with a mustache who couldn't be more familiar: "Mr. Maori?"

Kogoro Mori scratched his head embarrassedly, nodded and greeted Makino.

At this moment, Manager Matsumoto said, "Counselor Makino, I asked him to come. Detective Mori has helped us solve many cases, so I thought of borrowing his strength."

Makino silently glanced at Manager Matsumoto behind him, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Unlike Makino's nonchalant response, Inspectors Megure and Shiratori and others nearby all showed a hint of doubt in their eyes after hearing what Officer Matsumoto said.

At this moment, they all had a common question in their minds.

——"Since Manager Matsumoto has already asked Counselor Makino to listen to this case, why did he go to the extra mile and invite Kogoro Mori to come?"

Soon, everyone was seated.

Officer Shiratori also stood up and began to narrate: "Except for the sixth case, the common point of the first five cases is that the murderer used a large knife to stab.

Judging from the shape of the wound, the murderer should have held the knife in his right hand and swung it vigorously. The first five victims were first stunned with electric batons and kidnapped, and then killed and abandoned at the location where the bodies were found.

The question here is why the criminal took the victims to other places to commit the crime. In addition, there is a mahjong tile with a red circle painted on it and English letters and vertical black lines on the back next to the six bodies..."

Hearing this, Makino heard the long-lost yet familiar system prompt sound in his mind.
