Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 10 Gossip and Appointments

In the dean's office of Totei University Hospital, Daimon's agent, "Uncle Jing", the director of the doctor's agency where she works, is "collecting debts" from the old fox dean Hiruma...

"Your hospital must be famous for being able to perfectly restore the seriously injured Officer Shiraishi this time, right? Here is the bill... Of course, the old rules still apply. After receiving it, no matter who asks, this operation was performed by your hospital alone!" Uncle Jing said as he handed over a bill for 100 million yuan.

They often do this kind of deal. Uncle Jing only wants money, and Damen only wants operations that are difficult enough. And for some special cases, the hospital can gain reputation - after all, Damen is just a "temporary worker", and whatever she does will not bring honor to the hospital, and it may even be embarrassing. The credit needs to be attributed to other people.

"Pfft... cough cough cough, are you blackmailing me? How many zeros do you have? And... what do you mean by fame? The police department is even suspecting that we falsely reported our injuries at the beginning!" Hiruma said unhappily.

Hiruma was also wondering at this time, this guy recovered too quickly... No matter how good the gate technique was, he couldn't be so dead as to become flesh and bones, right?
"No, Director Hiruma, you are a hospital. You don't need to consider too much about the thoughts of the National Police Agency and the Ministry of Justice. Officer Shiraishi is a hero of the people. If you can cure Officer Shiraishi this time, you will have a great reputation among the people and Totei Hospital!" Uncle Jing said in a very negotiating manner.

"Director Kanhara, this is not something I would consider. This time... I'm sorry I won't sign. As for the fact that Officer Shiraishi has been cured, you can publicize it yourselves! Of course, I will pay the normal overtime pay." Hiruma pushed the bill away, indicating that he would not buy it!

On the one hand, Shiraishi Kuro's case was an external injury. What's the point of having a reputation for treating such an injury? It's not cancer! Who would get such an injury, ordinary people or big shots? From a surgical perspective, such a reputation is irrelevant!

As for the "people's hero" or something like that, it's even more ridiculous... Without publicity, everyone will forget about this person in a few days, and no one will decide which hospital to go to because of this "good reputation"!

On the other hand, it is naturally because... Shiraishi Kuro is still in an "awkward identity". In the past half month, since his health has improved, all parties have been downplaying the publicity about him personally. As an old fox, Hiruma certainly understands that this is a sign that the upper echelons have decided to hide him!

In short, Hiruma does not think that this is a "merit" worthy of Totei University Hospital to boast about.

But just then...

dong dong dong-

There was a sudden knock on the door...

After the secretary opened the door, he saw the person coming and quickly informed Hiruma: "Dean, it's Ms. Suzuki."

"Oh... please come in." Hiruma said quickly.

The visitor was none other than the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group - Suzuki Ayako.

"Ms. Suzuki, this is..." Hiruma was still a little puzzled. The Suzuki Group had indeed made an appointment for a meeting before, but he didn't know the reason. He quickly stood up.

After all, the Suzuki Group is the leading conglomerate in East Island Country, and Suzuki Ayako is the eldest daughter of the Suzuki couple who are at the helm. Moreover, the establishment of the new laboratory that Hiruma wants to promote also depends on the investment of the Suzuki Group.

No matter why Suzuki Ayako came to him, Hiruma decided to satisfy her!

"President Hiruma, I'm here to thank you. I'm really... very grateful for the treatment you gave to Xiao Hei... ahem, Officer Shiraishi!" Ayako bowed with gratitude on her face.

"Eh? Ah, I mean... this is what our Totei University Hospital should do..."

"Ahem, Ms. Ayako, actually regarding Officer Shiraishi's surgery..." Uncle Jing was about to interrupt Hiruma while taking back the bill.

"Hmm?" Ayako looked over in confusion, "Who are you?"

“Ahhh… he he he, it’s that… it’s not important!” Hiruma said as he tried to take the bill back. Seeing that Kanhara Akira would not let go, Hiruma secretly made the gesture of “2”.

Two hundred million? Hmm...

Kanhara Akira then quietly let go of the bill and said gentlemanly, "Nothing, I mean... Officer Shiraishi's surgery is very difficult, and only the Totei University Hospital can perform this level... Well, I'll take my leave now!"

After leaving, Kanhara Akira was happy, but also thinking: Officer Shiraishi is actually related to Suzuki Ayako? If I had known... I would have asked for more!
……

... "Are you looking for Shiraishi Kuro? He has been discharged from the hospital." Daimon looked at Suzuki Ayako in front of him in surprise.

"This is the dean's distinguished guest, could you please be more polite..." Dr. Kadi, who brought Suzuki Ayako over, reminded unhappily.

"Hmm? It's okay... Thank you, then it's okay." Ayako looked obviously disappointed when she heard that.

It didn't seem like she was disappointed because she didn't see Shiraishi Kuro, but rather that... Shiraishi Kuro was discharged from the hospital without even notifying her!
Seeing Suzuki Ayako leave, Daimon immediately asked Kachi curiously, "Hey, is that a young lady from some place? It looks like she has a story with Shiraishi Kuro?"

"Keep your voice down! Don't be so gossipy... But I heard that Miss Suzuki seemed to have wanted to visit Officer Shiraishi many times before, but Officer Shiraishi always avoided her..." Kaji said in a low voice, being very gossipy.

……

At the same time, nominally, Director Shiraba wanted to commend Shiraishi Kuro, so after Shiraishi Kuro left the hospital, he came to the Metropolitan Police Department building wearing a new uniform!

"Officer Shiraishi!"

"Thanks for your hard work……"

"Shiraishi Police Department... no, Shiraishi Police Department!"

……

After entering the building, many people saw Shiraishi Kuro and took the initiative to greet him - after all, with a figure like this, you will never forget who he is after just one look!

Of course, there were also quite a few people... who pretended not to see it, and some even lowered their heads and turned around.

Generally speaking, those who took the initiative to greet Shiraishi Kuro were basically frontline police officers, mostly inspectors and below. Those who avoided him as much as possible were, of course, office police officers...

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Police Shiraishi Kuro is on the right track... and the future will not be smooth sailing!
It seems that he is promoted faster than others now, but he will probably be far away from the core of the police force in the future, and even be hated by big shots.

Of course, even if it is "police supervision", it is already out of reach for the "non-professional group" of slaves... that is, most of the front-line police officers!
Even for the "semi-professional group", it is not easy to reach this step, and only the "professional group" can be calm about it.

At this time, Shiraishi didn't care about the different attitudes of everyone towards him. He just smiled and nodded in response to the police officers who greeted him, and then went all the way to the director's office.

dong dong dong-

After Bai Shi knocked on the door, there was no sound from inside.

"Hmm?" Bai Shi was also a little puzzled - wasn't this the agreed time? Why was Director Bai Ma not here?
In addition, Bai Shi was outside and didn't hear any breathing sound from inside, so he opened the door and took a look - fortunately, he was not dead.

There is indeed no one in the room!

Shiraishi walked in with a frown on his face, and then he found that on the director's desk, there was a transfer order facing outwards - from this angle, it was obviously meant for him to see...

This is indeed a transfer order given to Officer Shiraishi Kuro!
Appoint Shiraishi Kuro as...

Chief of the Yūka-cho Police Station, 11th Headquarters, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department!
