Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 269 Paradise Walker

Metropolitan Police Department, Office of the Director of the Criminal Division.

Managers Makino and Matsumoto walked up to Minister Odagiri's desk and leaned over slightly.

After seeing the two, Chief Odagiri slowly stood up and handed the document in his hand to Manager Matsumoto: "The notice from above has come down. From now on, you will be the head of the Investigation Section 1. Superintendent Matsumoto, I'll leave the Investigation Section 1 to you from now on!"

"Yes!" Superintendent Matsumoto stretched out his hands and respectfully took the appointment document from Minister Odagiri.

Makino also laughed and clapped his hands: "Matsumoto police officer Shizheng, congratulations~"

Manager Matsumoto nodded again to express his gratitude to Makino and Minister Odagiri, and a rare terrifying smile appeared on his face.

Soon after, this "simple promotion process" came to an end and Superintendent Matsumoto Masaru left the office.

After Superintendent Matsumoto left, Makino turned to look at Minister Odagiri with a frown on his face.

Unlike Officer Sato and others who were promoted from Inspector to Inspector, which was a "small promotion", Officer Matsumoto was promoted from Superintendent to Senior Superintendent, which is already a promotion for high-ranking police officers.

Although there are many "Superintendents" in the Metropolitan Police Department, when each police officer is promoted to Superintendent, the senior management of the Metropolitan Police Department will hold a so-called "promotion ceremony" in the "Central Conference Room", and many senior police officers will be present.

When Makino was promoted to Superintendent, he also went through this process.

In order to support him, the White Horse Police Chief even presided over the promotion ceremony personally.

But now, it is obvious that the promotion of Superintendent Matsumoto was extremely hasty.

Not only was there no promotion ceremony for him, but even the letter of appointment was issued by Minister Odagiri on his behalf, which was obviously unusual.

Logically speaking, even if Police Superintendent Matsumoto was not a so-called "faction member", he could not be so simple and careless.

After noticing Makino's expression, Minister Odagiri slowly walked to the French window and said with his hands behind his back, "Makino, I know what you want to say. Matsumoto's promotion this time is indeed very 'suspicious'. Not only was there no formal promotion ceremony, but even the promotion announcement was not released publicly..."

At this point, Minister Odagiri turned around and walked to his desk, opening a small cabinet beside him as he spoke: "Normally, Matsumoto's promotion would have been in the second half of this year or early next year, but the higher-ups suddenly moved it up significantly. And... this officer's transfer report."

Minister Odagiri handed the information in his hand to Makino, and an inexplicable gleam flashed in his eyes.

After seeing the name and photo of the police officer in the information, Makino's eyes suddenly flashed with understanding.

——"Superintendent Kuroda Heibei, Chief of the First Investigation Division of the Harano Prefecture Police Headquarters, is now transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department..."

Minister Odagiri said, "Makino, I remember you went to Nagano Prefecture twice before. You should have met this police officer named Kuroda Bei, right?"

Makino nodded and said, "I met this Inspector Kuroda when I went there last time. Putting aside the fact that he has been in a coma for ten years, this Inspector Kuroda's personal ability is very outstanding."

Minister Odagiri lowered his head and thought, "He was in a coma in the hospital for ten years... It's the same as the information I investigated. I suspect that Matsumoto's sudden promotion this time is related to this Superintendent Kuroda.

Matsumoto's promotion letter and his transfer order were issued almost at the same time. Matsumoto's current position will be replaced by this Superintendent Kuroda. Two days later, this Superintendent Kuroda will be transferred to serve as the management officer of the Investigation Division 1. "

Makino nodded and said, "You mean, the reason why Superintendent Matsumoto was suddenly promoted was actually to make room for Superintendent Kuroda, right?"

Minister Odagiri nodded and said, "Yes, I specifically looked up his information. Apart from the fact that he was in a coma for ten years, I only found out that he had worked in the National Police Agency. Apart from that, I couldn't find anything else."

At this point, Minister Odagiri's expression suddenly became somewhat solemn.

Even with his authority as "Superintendent of Police", he was unable to find any detailed information about Kuroda Heibei. There was only one possibility.

——Kuroda Beibei’s information has been deliberately hidden or deleted.

To put it simply, his previous job was likely to be related to confidential information, such as... the Security Planning Division of the Security Bureau of the National Police Agency, namely the Public Security Group.

After a moment of silence, Minister Odagiri sighed and said, "Makino, I'll leave this matter to you. When he officially takes office, you should pay more attention to him. The higher-ups specifically transferred him here at this time, there must be some special purpose...

Maybe it has something to do with the Black Organization, of course... this is just my guess. As for Matsumoto, although he may have guessed something, I'd better not tell him my guess for the time being."

"I understand." Makino nodded slightly.

Before Makino could turn around and leave the office, Minister Odagiri chuckled and said, "By the way, Makino, there is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you. After the meeting two days ago, the White Horse Superintendent specifically came to talk to me.

You should deal with the affairs of the new department more recently. After a while, he may want to send you to police headquarters in Osaka, Kyoto and other places for exchange and study.

The White Horse Superintendent still has more than a year left in his term. You should understand the purpose and significance of his actions, right? "

Seeing Makino nod, Director Odagiri chuckled and shook his head, then waved his hand casually: "Okay, I've said everything I need to say, so you should get busy too, don't forget the department meeting the day after tomorrow afternoon."

After walking out of the office, Makino smiled helplessly.

He naturally understood what Minister Odagiri had just said.

The White Horse Police Chief wanted to quickly accumulate "merits" in the more than a year before he retired so that he could be promoted out of turn.

To put it simply, the White Horse Police Chief wanted to quickly help him get promoted to [Superintendent] within a year.

Although there is no clear "age requirement" for each rank of the Metropolitan Police Department, the "Superintendent" who is only in his twenties...

No matter how you look at it, it's a "fairy tale".

Even for Makino, who had been promoted to Superintendent of Police at this age, this idea of ​​Superintendent Hakuba was extremely outrageous.

Although I don't know why Superintendent Baiba went to such great lengths to help him get promoted, this is not a bad thing for him.

……

The next morning, outside the Toudou Aquarium Amusement Park.

After parking the car, Makino took Ayako, Sonoko and Sera Masumi into the park gate.

Although Sonoko had contacted Kyogoku Makoto, it seemed that Kyogoku Makoto had already made an appointment to visit his "karate master" near Osaka today, so he was unable to keep the appointment.

In desperation, the couple's date that Sonoko had originally been looking forward to turned into a class reunion.

Sonoko told Xiaolan and Sera Masumi about this.

Since Xiaolan had been here last time, and today was her and her mother Kisaki's half-monthly dinner together, she did not come either.

Therefore, the people who came to play finally became Makino, Ayako, Sonoko and Sera Masumi.

Shortly after entering the park gate, Sera Masumi looked up at the double-decker Ferris wheel in the distance and exclaimed with a smile: "This is the first time I've seen a Ferris wheel like this! We must ride it today!"

Sonoko chuckled and said, "Oh? Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so interested in the Ferris wheel. In that case, let's go ride the Ferris wheel first. Brother Longyi, sister, do you want to join us?"

Hearing this, Makino and Ayako smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, they came to the amusement park not for a date, but to have fun. It would be much more fun for them to go together than to go alone.

Seeing this, Sonoko and Sera Masumi smiled and winked, then walked towards the Ferris wheel together.

——"Ah!!!" As soon as everyone walked to the bottom of the escalator, they saw a woman pointing at the rooftop next to her with trembling hands and a look of horror.

Except for Makino and his companions, all other tourists present also looked up in the direction of the woman's finger, toward the top of the building not far away.

At this moment, a vague figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Due to the height, everyone couldn't see the specific appearance of the figure at all, but from the position where the figure was standing, he didn't seem to be a "maintenance worker".

In other words, this figure was definitely about to jump off the building.

For a moment, screams and exclamations were heard one after another.

Makino took a closer look at the woman on top of the building and frowned slightly.

Others may not be able to see it clearly, but he can see it clearly.

The woman's expression was extremely "calm and pale", and her body posture was somewhat strange, as if she was not supporting her body with her own strength, but was being "held" by something.

--"ah!!!"

At this moment, the woman's upper body suddenly leaned forward, and she lost balance instantly and fell quickly to the ground.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but scream, and many people even subconsciously covered their eyes for fear of seeing the upcoming bloody scene.

Sera Masumi quickly turned his head and looked at Makino behind him with a serious expression.

As soon as she turned around, she found that Makino, who was standing behind her, was gone.

……

Meanwhile, below the building.

Makino looked up at the woman who was about to fall, jumped up lightly, and reached out to catch the woman in the air.

The next moment, witnessed by several tourists with their eyes open, Makino slowly landed on the ground and put the woman in his hands steadily on the ground.

As he expected, the woman seemed to have lost all signs of life.

In other words...she was already dead before she jumped off the building.

At this moment, the tourists who had not closed their eyes opened their eyes wide after seeing this scene, and looked at Makino in shock who was observing the woman on the ground.

It was not until a moment later that some people realized what they had just seen, and they began to speak:
"what?!"

"How is this possible?! How did that person catch the person who jumped off the building?!"

"Are they filming a movie? This dummy should be a movie prop, right? Where is the camera?"

"..."

Amid the discussion among the crowd, Ayako and the other two quickly ran to Makino's side.

"Long Yi, what happened? Are you okay?"

"Brother Long Yi! How...how did you catch her just now?! I don't think I saw it clearly..."

Unlike Ayako and the others, Sera Masumi stared at Makino with horror, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

She even forgot to check on the woman who was "rescued" by Makino, and instead calculated the data related to "jumping from the building".

"This building is about thirty meters high. If we use the kinetic energy formula to calculate... the impact force caused by this person jumping off the building is at least 17000 joules, which is equivalent to a one-ton car hitting it at a speed of nearly 20 kilometers per hour..."

Thinking of this, Sera Masumi blinked and took a breath.

Just then, Makino said, "This lady was already dead before she jumped off the building."

After hearing this, Sera Masumi immediately came back to his senses and quickly turned to look at the woman on the ground: "What did you say?!"

……

Twenty minutes later.

After receiving the call from Makino, Inspector Sato led a team to the scene.

After learning what happened from Makino and some of the onlookers, Sato and Takagi looked at Makino with eyes that were clearly "shocked".

However, they did not lose their composure like others, but calmly and quickly arranged for their subordinates to cordon off the scene and conduct routine investigations and inquiries.

After all, compared to the "horror scenes" and "superhuman behaviors" that Makino had created before, the scene this time was obviously warmer and more ordinary.

Soon after, the forensic officer walked quickly to the front of the crowd and saluted, "There were no wounds on the deceased's body. Although an autopsy has not been performed yet, our preliminary judgment is that her cause of death is likely to be poisoning and respiratory failure caused by an overdose of sleeping pills!"

After the forensic officer finished his report, two police officers quickly walked up to Makino and the others, handed over the evidence in their hands, and saluted, "We have conducted a thorough investigation on the rooftop and found an empty bottle of sleeping pills and this letter."

Inspector Sato reached out and took the letter from his subordinate, slowly opened it, and then read aloud the contents.

After reading the contents of the letter, Inspector Sato frowned and said, "Counselor, this suicide note typed out on a computer is very suspicious... From this point of view, this is very likely a murder case disguised as a suicide!"

Makino nodded and said, "That's right, but the criminal's methods were not very sophisticated."

Masumi Sera briefly recalled the contents of the suicide note and the "cause of death" mentioned by the forensic police officer before, and nodded in agreement.

The analysis of Inspector Sato was correct. This was clearly a murder case.

The criminal's purpose is...

Before Sera Masumi could continue thinking, Makino spoke again: "There are many people in the amusement park, so in order to avoid causing more commotion, we must catch this criminal as soon as possible.

The criminal is a male, aged between 30 and 35, with no higher education, and most likely a staff member of this amusement park. We will start our investigation from the building where the victim ‘jumped’ down…”

Sera Masumi: "???"

Looking at Makino who was talking in front of him, Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment.

Wait…wait?
Is this the legendary "Makino Profile"? !

Before Inspector Sato and the others could start to act according to Makino's instructions, a mournful voice suddenly rang out: "Fang Mei! Why on earth are you doing this?!"

The next moment, a slightly plump man wearing a staff uniform and looking to be in his early thirties suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Sera Masumi: "??????????"
