Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 244: A change of offensive?
After hanging up the call with Officer Sato, Makino put away his phone and casually pressed the red button in his other hand.

——“BOOM!!!”

The moment the button was pressed, a deafening noise suddenly rang out.

Makino glanced at the warehouse covered in huge flames from the rearview mirror and drove towards the Beika Public Hall where Officer Sato and others were.

……

The next morning, in the office of the director of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Minister Odagiri looked up at Manager Makino and Manager Matsumoto in front of him, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

According to Makino, they came to explain the situation regarding yesterday's case.

When he was in Kyoto yesterday, he had already heard about the case from Inspector Makino and Hasegawa.

Although it was a very complicated serial murder case spanning multiple regions, wasn't this case solved by Makino?

Also, why does Manager Matsumoto have such an ugly expression on his face?

Minister Odagiri has been dealing with Administrator Matsumoto for more than ten years, but he has never seen Administrator Matsumoto show this kind of expression.

Minister Odagiri turned to look at Makino and asked, "Makino, didn't you tell me the general situation of the case yesterday? The detailed report of the case should be almost finished. Why did you bring Matsumoto to talk about this? Is there any other problem with this case?"

Makino nodded, looked at Manager Matsumoto beside him, and said, "Director, actually Manager Matsumoto asked me to come along."

Hearing what Makino said, Minister Odagiri frowned and looked at Manager Matsumoto in confusion.

Manager Matsumoto bowed his head and said, "That's right, Minister. I specially invited Counselor Makino to come. Actually..."

Under Minister Odagiri's puzzled gaze, Manager Matsumoto confessed the whole story that he was electrocuted and kidnapped from behind on his way home the night before.

After listening to Manager Matsumoto's explanation of his own situation, Minister Odagiri subconsciously supported his head with both hands, and his expression became extremely solemn: "This actually happened..."

After thinking for a moment, Minister Odagiri looked up at Makino again.

Makino nodded and said, "The men in black who kidnapped Manager Matsumoto should be the black organization we encountered before. The reason they did this was to have their people disguise themselves as Manager Matsumoto, sneak into the Metropolitan Police Department and participate in the serial murder case yesterday."

At this point, Makino briefly explained how he discovered that there was something wrong with the "Manager Matsumoto" yesterday, and how Inspector Sato and his two companions found and rescued the real Manager Matsumoto.

After hearing what Makino said, the expressions on Minister Odagiri and Manager Matsumoto's faces suddenly became extremely solemn.

After a long silence, Minister Odagiri spoke again: "Makino, do you know what their purpose is? Also, where did the guy who disguised himself as Matsumoto go in the end?"

Hearing this, Makino took out a newspaper from the folder in his hand and handed it to Minister Odagiri: "This is this morning's newspaper. The police officer from the First Special Criminal Investigation and Inspector Megure should be at the scene now."

Minister Odagiri took the newspaper in confusion and saw the headline at a glance:
——"Last night, a warehouse at the Mihua Wharf had a violent explosion! Because the explosion was so violent, the warehouse..."

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Minister Odagiri frowned and said, "You mean, the guy who disguised himself as Matsumoto... might be in this warehouse that exploded for unknown reasons?"

Makino nodded. "Yes, the guy who disguised himself as Manager Matsumoto left the Metropolitan Police Department before the closing meeting yesterday and drove to Beika Pier."

Minister Odagiri clutched the newspaper in his hand, his brows furrowed.

Makino added: "As for the purpose... before leaving, the fake Matsumoto administrator seemed to have stolen the remains of the victim of yesterday's case."

"What relic?"

"The amulet from the victim in Saitama Prefecture."

"amulet?"

"Yes."

Minister Odagiri: “…”

After a moment's silence, Minister Odagiri slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

After a long time, Minister Odagiri opened his eyes, stood up and looked at Manager Matsumoto in front of him: "Matsumoto, luckily you are okay. I didn't expect these guys to dare to kidnap a police officer and even sneak into our Metropolitan Police Department's search meeting openly!

I already know about this... Makino, Matsumoto, you should go back and have a good rest. Especially you, Matsumoto, you should have a good rest in the next two days. I will send someone to protect you and your daughter in the next two days."

Manager Matsumoto looked at Minister Odagiri embarrassedly, and just as he was about to say that he did not need anyone's protection, he was stopped by Makino.

Seeing Makino shaking his head, Manager Matsumoto also closed his mouth and changed his words: "I understand, Minister. Thank you for your help!"

After saying this, Manager Matsumoto said goodbye to Director Odagiri and Makino, then turned and left the office.

After Manager Matsumoto left, Minister Odagiri walked up to Makino with a serious expression: "After you were assassinated last time, I went to the National Police Agency, but the people in the Public Security Commission were unwilling to tell me the details.

The information about this organization seems to be top secret within them. Although it may sound a bit... but if possible, I don't want you and Manager Matsumoto to have any contact with this dangerous organization again.

I suspect that the reason you were targeted by this organization is because you blocked their path. If you continue like this, you will definitely encounter similar dangers again..."

At this point, Minister Odagiri's eyes suddenly flashed with a stern look: "Now it seems that my thoughts at that time were wrong! Not only you, the existence of this organization has threatened the safety of all police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department!

In addition to Officer Matsumoto, Officer Sato and the others should also know something about this organization, right? I will go and tell Superintendent Hakuba about it! Makino... you can lead them to secretly investigate the intelligence of this organization!"

Makino: "?"

……

After half an hour.

After returning to his office, Makino leaned back in his office chair and suppressed his surprise with a cup of coffee.

To be honest, Minister Odagiri's reaction really exceeded his expectations.

Minister Odagiri asked him to take Manager Matsumoto and Officer Sato to investigate the winery?
This……

How can I put this...

——“Boom, boom, boom!”

Before Makino could think about it, there was a knock on the door.

After obtaining Makino's permission, Officers Sato, Takagi and Shiratori walked into the office.

Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of the three people, Makino blinked helplessly: "Let me guess, do you want to talk about the group that kidnapped Manager Matsumoto?"

"Yes! How did you know?"

"..."

In the evening, downstairs of the Maori Detective Agency. After get off work, Makino bought two bottles of good wine and came to the detective agency for dinner.

This afternoon, Kogoro Mori called specifically to invite him to his home again.

One was to thank him for saving Xiaolan in the hospital before, and the other was to ask him about the follow-up of the serial murder case.

After parking the car, Makino walked straight into the Polo Cafe.

Just like the previous few days, Furuya Rei was the only one in the store.

After seeing Makino, Furuya Rei put down his work and chuckled, "This seems to be the first time you've taken the initiative to ask me out. Didn't you easily solve that serial murder case? What, is there anything you can do with me?"

Makino smiled and shook his head: "As expected of an intelligence officer, you know so much information even though you work in a coffee shop~"

The next moment, Makino came forward and sat on the platform in front of Furiya Rei, and continued: "Did you see the news this morning?"

Hearing this, Furiya Rei recalled, "News? Are you talking about the explosion at Beihua Pier?"

Makino handed the memory card in his hand to Furuya Rei and nodded, "That's right."

After receiving the memory card, Fūya Rei immediately put away the smile on his face and frowned, "What is this?"

"It contains information about the organization's undercover agents, who are also Ireland's target this time," Makino explained.

Fūya Rei looked at Makino in surprise: "What did you say?!"

Makino chuckled and said, "Irish disguised himself as Officer Matsumoto of the Investigation Division 1 and participated in our investigation meeting. This memory card is in the amulet of one of the victims."

Hearing this, Furuya Rei's brain started working rapidly: "In other words, one of the victims was the organization's NOC (non-official undercover).

He wanted to use the contents of this memory card to protect himself, but he didn't expect that he would be killed by someone outside the organization. In order to get this memory card, Ireland infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department..."

At this point, Furuya Rei suddenly looked up at Makino and said, "The warehouse explosion last night was the work of the organization! If that's the case... you... one of the dead was Ireland?!"

Makino nodded.

As expected of Rei Furiya, who knew the winery very well, he analyzed the whole process with just one sentence.

Before Furuya Rei could continue, Makino interrupted him and said, "To make a long story short, this incident was ordered by Rum. In addition to Ireland, there was also a member of the organization named Ramus who was involved."

"Ramus... I've never heard of this name, but judging from the code name, the possibility that he is a direct subordinate of Rum is indeed very high." Furuya Zero frowned.

Makino continued, "Yes, what I'm going to tell you next is about this memory card. Rum already knows that Ireland and Ramsay did not succeed in getting this memory card.

And you should also know that this memory card cannot appear in your hands or the police's. Didn't Akai Shuichi from the FBI contact us before and want to exchange information with us?"

Fūya Rei looked at Makino in astonishment: "Do you mean..."

Makino nodded and said, "That's right. After copying the information inside, give them this memory card as intelligence and a sweet treat, so that they can attract the attention of Kailangmu."

Furuya Rei: “!!!”

After discussing the effective uses of this memory card, Furiya Rei also told Makino that Gin and his companions had left Tokyo and were heading to other areas to carry out assassination missions.

After a brief exchange of words, Makino said goodbye to Furiya Rei and left the coffee shop.

……

Soon after, at the Maori Detective Agency.

"cheers!!"

Makino, Kogoro Mori and others sat around a table of delicious food and drank together.

In order to entertain Makino, Xiaolan took Conan to buy a lot of high-quality ingredients this afternoon, and Kogoro Mouri also took out the good wine he bought in London last time.

After three rounds of drinking, Conan couldn't help but look at Makino and said, "Officer Makino, how is the serial murder case going? Is it over?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri and Ran also looked at Makino curiously.

Makino swallowed the roasted wagyu beef in his mouth and nodded, "Well, the criminal has been caught and the case was closed last night. This case spans many jurisdictions, so there will probably not be a public press conference in the short term."

Hearing what Makino said, Kogoro Mouri and Ran also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

What they care more about than the specific details of the case is undoubtedly whether the case has been closed.

Xiaolan took a sip of the juice in the cup and chuckled, "It's over so quickly, you are worthy of being Brother Makino~"

Maori Kogoro touched Makino's glass and asked in confusion, "By the way, Makino, since Officer Matsumoto is planning to let you participate in the case, why did he ask me to be a consultant?"

Makino chuckled and shook his head: "Mr. Maori, you have helped the police solve so many cases. Manager Matsumoto thinks highly of you~"

Maori Kogoro laughed a few times, his face full of a drunken smile: "Hahahahaha, so that's how it is! I can't help it, after all, I'm already the world-famous detective Maori Kogoro!"

Xiaolan, Conan: "..."

After a moment, Xiaolan smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, Officer Makino, Dad seems to be a little drunk..."

Before Xiaolan could finish, Makino waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, why are you apologizing? For those of us who solve cases every day, Mr. Maori's casual and straightforward personality is more likely to win everyone's favor~
Compared to this Xiaolan, Sonoko should have told you, right? This weekend, they want us all to go to the villa in Karuizawa for vacation and play tennis~"

Xiaolan smiled and nodded: "Yes! Sonoko told me when we were at school today~ By the way, Makino-san, can you play a game with us then?"

Hearing this, Conan looked at Xiaolan in surprise and blinked quickly.

Play a game?
And Makino?!

At this moment, Maori Kogoro suddenly said: "Yes, that's right! There must be a lot of beautiful and mature ladies in Karuizawa?! Don't worry, Makino, I will definitely not waste this great opportunity!!"

Xiaolan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Xiaolan looked at Maori Kogoro with a smile, stretched out her fist, and slowly said: "Oh? What a great opportunity? Dad, it seems that you are already very drunk..."

"Wait, wait! Xiaolan, I was indeed drunk just now! But I'm sober now!"

--"boom!"

"what!!!"

Looking at this heartwarming scene in front of him, Makino smiled and picked up the roast beef from the plate, then began to eat it with relish along with the dipping sauce on the side.
