Chapter 366: An unusual explosion
On the first day in Beika Town, the new police officers were given a tough test.

A suspect who was about to expire disappeared during surveillance. The explosion that Shiraishi had been talking about occurred at the port, killing the son of the former finance minister…

The criminal justice class suddenly became busy.

“Eh? I also want to go to the port to investigate the explosion case…” Kobe Miwako was assigned to the “missing suspect case” and was a little depressed. She tried to use cuteness to make Section Chief Sohkata change his mind.

However, Sohkata obviously doesn’t buy into the cuteness or anything like that. The reason why he asked Miwako to assist Souichi was because of Haitani, the capable general. Otherwise, the new police officer would have to continue to be on standby – after all, if there were no two major cases, there would be no other problems in Beika Town.

Not to mention major cases, in order to guard against minor cases that require criminal police to be dispatched, people also need to be kept on standby.

“Detective Kobe! What are you talking about? Is it a detective’s job to have you be picky?” Haitani immediately scolded.

When Kobe heard this, she didn’t have the temper of a spoiled little princess and behaved very obediently, but… she didn’t take it to heart!
“Tianshu, today is your first day in office and you’ve already encountered a big case.” Zilian went to the port with Tianshuyou with full confidence.

“I’d like to thank Senior Kogure for your guidance.” Tian Shuyou pretended to be honest and acted playful.

Tian Shuyou is actually older than Zi Nai, with dark skin and naturally curly hair…

Including Shima and Yuan who just came back from training, there are a total of three naturally curly hair in the Criminal Division. And because Akasaka and Aoki have been transferred, curly hair has now surpassed slicked back hair to become the latest “trendy hairstyle” in the Criminal Division of the Beika Police Department.

Although they are all “newcomers”, Munakata still remembers Tenju Yuu and does not think he is a burden, so he arranges for him and Zilian to go to the port.

It is true that the main suspect of a case that is about to reach the statute of limitations has suddenly disappeared. This would be considered a “big deal” in a normal police station, but…

To put it bluntly, it was just that “Souyi” had caused trouble and came to ask for help to clean up the mess!

After all, this robbery case is twenty years old, and it did not happen in Beika Town, so it is not that urgent for the Beika Police Department.

The “Search One” guy was in the director’s office at the moment, “begging” for help…

“I’m extremely sorry to have caused trouble for your office!” Takagi bowed so deeply that he almost knocked his head on the desk.

That’s right, the one who lost the suspect was none other than Brother Takagi from the Third Department of the First Investigation Division. Megure directly asked him to come to the Beika Police Station first to “ask for help”.

“Such an important suspect… Don’t you know that the media will focus on these cases that have exceeded the statute of limitations? One of the purposes of establishing a statute of limitations is to urge our police to solve the case as soon as possible. When the statute of limitations expires, the police will pay more attention… What are you doing, Detective Takagi!” Shiraishi helped Megure scold him again.

“I… have no reason, I’m so sorry!” Takagi just kept reflecting on himself.

It was indeed his mistake.

Of course, if I must give a reason, there is one.

After all, this was a case that happened 20 years ago, and there was even more than one “important suspect” in this case…

Just like the Kinoshita case five years ago, because there was no evidence, the police could only send people to monitor the case.

It’s just that Kinoshita Masayoshi put too much psychological pressure on himself, and he committed suicide a few months later…

Most of the so-called “important suspects” have actually been followed for twenty years and they deserve to eat and drink.

In particular, the intensity of surveillance will gradually weaken as time goes by.

After all, there are many people of this kind who need to be monitored. If we really want to send criminal police to monitor them one by one in real time, the police force of the East Island Country will have to be multiplied several times. Otherwise, we will go astray and become a “police state”…

In fact, after the initial period of close surveillance, the observation targets of such major robberies gradually become “daily” tasks, and no one may even be watching them at all. They will just pay attention to their overseas travel. If they are going abroad, they will conduct special checks at the airport. In addition, they will keep an eye on the financial status of some targets every month to see if they have become rich overnight.

The recent case is still half a month away from the tracing period, so I got a little nervous and started to keep an eye on it in real time. However, it is just a routine matter. It happened to be Takagi’s turn yesterday.

result……

After Gao Mu was lost last night, the relevant personnel also reported the missing person to the police this morning.

“Okay, the agency has set up a search headquarters, and we’ll lend you two dog police officers. If you still can’t find it, just accept your fate!” After Bai Shi scolded him, he still helped.

The so-called “Investigation Headquarters” is just an internal name, which is different from the formal “Investigation Headquarters”. It just means that some people in the agency are specially assigned to be responsible for this case.

In Beika Town, this case would not be ranked high. It is impossible for the entire Criminal Division to revolve around him and set up an investigation headquarters, even if Shiraishi has a good relationship with the three departments.

……

At the same time, at the port explosion site.

The body had been carried ashore and placed in a body bag, and the blackened yacht was parked on the shore.

The patrol police from the Mihua Port area have cordoned off the scene.

The criminal police and the mobile team of the Beihua Police Department also rushed to the scene. The criminal police examined the bodies, while the mobile team went directly to the yacht fully armed to determine the status of the explosion site.

In fact, the normal process should be to wait for the Metropolitan Police Department’s Security Department Section 2 to be dispatched to deal with the explosion scene…

Even though the Beika Police Station is a large-scale police station and has its own mobile squad, its configuration cannot compare with that of the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, everyone in the Beika Police Department is now a reckless man, so Murasakibara led the team directly in – this is not considered a violation of the rules, after all… although it is an explosion scene, it has not been confirmed to be a criminal case. Since it happened on a yacht, it could also be an accident!

In addition, shortly after Kuroki and Kanzaki, who were the first to arrive at the Beika Police Station, took their positions, Inspector Amamiya of the Fifth Section of the First Investigation Division of the General Office also arrived with his team.

Seeing that the criminal police from the Mihua Police Department acted on their own and had no intention of cooperating with the work, she was not surprised. After all, that subordinate was notorious for being arrogant and fierce, and she had dealt with him before.

Of course, the detectives of the Beihua Police Department would not deliberately refuse to cooperate, and the information was still shared properly. Amemiya also conducted a normal independent search, but Amemiya was always arrogant and couldn’t help but mutter a few words: “Really… Director Shiraishi is great, but not all of you are great. Why are you all so arrogant? You are the last one to come to Beihua!”

Isshiki, who was standing by, had not noticed his boss’s emotions at this time, and said with a natural expression: “That’s great. We are working on the case with the Beika Police Department again. It seems that we can close the case as soon as possible.” This is comparable to Takagi who exclaimed “We have a backer”.

“Idiot! Don’t say such useless things!” Amemiya is not as civilized as Megure.

……

Because of the welcome party, Zilian and Tianshu arrived later. As soon as they arrived, they confirmed with Kanzaki who was already at the scene: “Have you confirmed the explosives?”

“I’m not sure yet, but there’s a smell of black powder everywhere…” Kanzaki Jun made a rough judgment based on his physical sense. “Black powder… Could it be fireworks at sea? That would be an accident.” Amemiya walked over and said.

“wrong……”

Zi Narcissistic and Tian Shu spoke at the same time.

Hearing this, Amemiya looked over in surprise, then looked at the “black boy” next to Zi Narcissistic, frowned and said, “Have you just been transferred to the Criminal Division? I haven’t seen you before when I worked with the Beihua Agency.”

She knows narcissism…

After all, a year ago, Zinarcissistic was still a big shot in the First Investigation Division of the General Office, and was very outstanding among the new generation of criminal police under the age of 30. Half a year ago, he was even a “legendary figure” in the First Investigation Division – he suddenly went crazy, became super narcissistic and greasy, and made many mistakes in cases.

After being transferred to the Mihua Police Station, he seemed to have recovered a little. Although he is still as narcissistic and greasy as before, but… I heard that his ability to handle cases has recovered a lot?

As for the other “black boy”, Amemiya had no impression of him at all, and had never seen him when he worked with the Mika Agency before.

“Ah! Chief Inspector Tianshu!” Isshiki suddenly exclaimed.

“Long time no see.” Tianshu waved at him and reported to Amamiya in a serious manner: “Tianshu You, I was just transferred to the Mika Agency today.”

“Isshiki, do you know him?” Amemiya wondered – how come everyone knew Isshiki, but he had no impression of him?
“Patrol Chief Tianshu… He helped in Jiang Gutian’s case before… The one at the lost and found office.” Isshiki reminded.

“Lost and Found?” Amemiya was stunned when he heard that – how could the police officer at the Lost and Found be directly transferred to the criminal police?

Although it was transferred from the headquarters to the local police station, but…

There’s no way to deal with it like this, right? And this is the Rice Flower Department!

“Wait, what did you just say was wrong?” Amemiya reacted at this time – it’s okay for this narcissistic guy, but why does a person from the lost and found office become so “arrogant” when he comes to the Beihua Police Station?
“Sunglasses…According to the testimony of the first discoverer, the port manager, the victim’s boat went out to sea in the morning and headed due east. Not long after, a faint explosion was heard. After seeing the black smoke on the sea in the distance from the watchtower, he went to tow his speedboat back and called the police…

“Then there is a problem here. In the morning, when sailing due east, the sunlight is directly dazzling in the eyes. From the perspective of driving safety, it is necessary to wear sunglasses. However, this veteran with ten years of yacht driving experience did not wear any sunglasses at all.” Tianshu said, and raised one of the evidence bags, which contained the yacht driving license of “Ejiri Takayuki”.

This is an endless sea…

At the time of the incident, given the direction the yacht was sailing, it was impossible for someone to be driving east without sunglasses. This is not only dangerous driving, but it is also physiologically impossible for someone to open his eyes.

In other words…

There must be someone else driving the yacht!

If this is the case, the nature of the case is completely different. It is very likely that the murderer forged the scene, escaped in advance, and then blew up the yacht in an attempt to destroy the body.

At this moment, Amemiya and Zilian’s cell phones rang.

They both answered the phone, and then their expressions changed…

“What? The case is handed over to the fifth department? We are not allowed to intervene?”

“What? Our fifth department is solely responsible for the case? We also need to rule out… cough.”

Munakata, the criminal section chief of the Beika Police Station, and Ninomiya, the management officer of Souichi, called Jilian and Amemiya respectively and conveyed the intention of the General Office.

The detectives from the Mihua Police Station present at the scene also had slightly changed expressions.

In fact, the escalation of the search itself is easy to predict…

After all, the deceased “Ejiri Hideyuki” was the only son of former Finance Minister “Ejiri Shuichi”!

Although the term of office of each state minister is generally less than one year because the prime minister of the East Island Country is always changing, the state minister cannot be treated as a cadre.

only……

From what they’re saying now, the General Office doesn’t want the Rice Flower Agency to intervene?
This is a bit unusual…

It’s no longer just a matter of pursuing efficiency, but… a feeling of worrying about what the Rice Flower Agency might find out!
But just when Amemiya had put down the phone and Ninomiya had obviously finished talking, she turned her head and looked at Zilian. She wanted to say a few polite words and explain that this was all the above, but she found that Zilian had not put down the phone…

“Oh, that’s what the above means…but we also have to have our own opinions? Okay, I understand!” Narcissistic nodded.

Amemiya: ???
What are you talking about over there?
At the same time, Deputy Director Murasakihara also received a call from Shiraishi, and then…

“Inspector Amemiya, the police station has already set up an investigation headquarters. I hope we can work together and give an explanation to former Minister Ejiri as soon as possible.” Murasakibara walked over and said.

Amemiya: ???
“Inspector Murasakibara, but the order I received is…” Amemiya was still a little hesitant after hearing this.

However, Murasakibara directly said, “Don’t worry, our director will make arrangements with Director Ninomiya.”

Amemiya didn’t think that this kind of thing would be decided by Director Ninomiya on his own, nor did she think that what the Beika Agency needed at this time was just “connection” – she suspected that Director Shiraishi was looking for Deputy Director Moroboshi in charge to argue!
Of course, Amemiya didn’t have to follow Ninomiya’s orders.

Firstly, the case happened in Beihua Port, and it would be strange and inefficient not to cooperate with the Beihua Police Department; secondly… the mobile team had already taken the body away, and Amemiya didn’t think that detectives like him could snatch the body from the big and strong mobile team.

……

Not long after, the first investigation meeting of the “Five Hundred Million Robbery Investigation Headquarters” was held in a not-so-large conference room.

At this time, Megure, who was in charge of the case, and other key detectives from the three departments also arrived.

Megure and the others did not dare to object to the fact that “the largest conference room would not be theirs” because they could see when they passed by that it was written on the opposite side: “Port Explosion Investigation Headquarters” – the nature of an explosion is inherently more serious than an ordinary murder, even if no innocent people are harmed, because it means that the murderer has a “big killer” in his hand!
Not to mention, the person who was killed in the explosion was the son of the former Minister of Finance, and the Metropolitan Police Department responded immediately…

Normally, it should be handed over to the third department, but…

This time, because Takagi lost the target he was following, the three departments were sent to investigate this case which was about to expire!

This has also caused Gao Mu to be exposed to everyone’s “wild and resentful” gaze recently…
