The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 794 Can two cases be called one case?
The same is true for not being able to summon.

Rules are dead, but people are divided into classes. Of course, you can disobey ordinary people, but when dealing with people in high positions like this...

I can only say, do you dare to not follow the rules and give it a try?
If you don't follow the rules, then I will have to make you follow the rules.

Miwako Sato understood some things after hearing this, but she still didn't give up. She frowned and said, "Nonsense, why haven't I heard Yumi say that such a luxury car has been lost recently?"

She and Yumi Miyamoto are good friends.

If such a luxury car was really lost, her best friend would have come to tell her and asked her to help find the car.

"It's not the Traffic Division of Tokyo Metropolitan Government, but the Traffic Division of the National Police Agency."

Megure Jusan shook his head helplessly: "Although the Metropolitan Police Department Traffic Division has not received any reports, the Police Department Traffic Division has handed over relevant documents, and this is what is written on the documents."

Miwako Sato caught the key point when she heard this: "National Police Traffic Division?"

"Since he was not driving the car at the time, it is obvious that he was not the one who hit the person."

Fujino took over the conversation and thought: "According to this line of thought, the person was hit by the car thief, which means that we are looking for the car thief. We can't implicate him at all, and it is not appropriate to forcibly summon him."

"In that case, wouldn't it be fine if we just prove that he opened it?"

Sato Miwako took a deep breath. "Mr. Dejima witnessed it with his own eyes. A young man was driving the car, and there was a woman sitting in the passenger seat. Fujino even saw them in a restaurant. They completely fit the description of the suspect."

"That's true."

Megure Jusan hesitated for a moment: "But... this case involves the son of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the impact on society needs to be carefully considered. So now the National Police Agency is suggesting that we temporarily delay the action and formulate an action plan that will minimize the impact and most efficiently capture the suspect."

"So it's just a cold treatment?"

Sato Miwako's face was gloomy: "We are stalling for time while they prepare witnesses, physical evidence, and scapegoats, and then we can investigate..."

Fujino glanced at Sato's expression, then asked Megure Jusan, "So, to be able to mobilize people from the National Police Agency, Foreign Minister Utada's network of connections must be quite complex, right?"

"Since we're talking behind closed doors, I'll just speak frankly."

Megure Jusan said in a deep voice: "Minister Utada is the former chairman of the National Public Safety Commission."

"I see."

Fujino nodded when he heard this, but didn't say much.

The former National Public Security Commissioner could directly point out the other party’s relationship with the police system...

That is, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has someone inside the National Police Agency.

The Metropolitan Police Department is regionally autonomous and is led by the Governor of Tokyo and the Tokyo Public Safety Commission in name only. But in reality, the prefectural public safety commissions are just there to keep things going. Whether it is the Metropolitan Police Commissioner or the police bureaucrats in each prefecture, they are all directly hired and appointed by the National Police Agency.

The National Police Agency directly recruits police bureaucrats, the so-called professional group.

The professional group is the golden key. For example, Shiratori will be able to climb up in no time under the care of the National Police Agency, while Sato is an ordinary national civil servant, and as for Takagi, he is a local civil servant.

Simply put, local civil servants are at most superintendents, while within the police force, those above the rank of superintendent are paid directly by the national treasury.

Therefore, the head of the entire Japanese headquarters, which is composed of professional groups, has to look at the face of the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, and further down, the headquarters has to look at the face of the head of the headquarters. This is the unique police system of Japan.

The National Police Agency is under the National Public Security Commission.

"This is how it is. We can't easily intervene in this matter for the time being."

Megure Jusan took a deep breath and said seriously, "Until the general direction of the investigation is announced, we cannot act on our own."

"Inspector Megure..."

Sato Miwako frowned. She understood the interests involved and did not speak too harshly. She asked in a low voice, "Is there really no room for redemption in this matter?"

"This is it."

Megure Jusan thought for a moment, then looked at Fujino and said meaningfully: "Brother Fujino, what do you think about the relationship between hit-and-run and car theft?" "We are talking behind closed doors. Do you want me to be the bad guy?"

Fujino glanced at Megure Jusan speechlessly, then explained helplessly: "Now the Metropolitan Police Department is only asked to plan a policy for investigating hit-and-run cases. As for the car theft..."

"We can't act rashly in hit-and-run cases, but we can investigate car thefts. After all, the people above just gave suggestions, not orders. As for how to act, we still have the final say."

Fujino glanced at Megure and said with a bit of resentment: "So, brother, you are using me as a shield this time."

"Ha ha……"

Megure Jusan smiled awkwardly, scratched the back of his head, then looked at Sato Miwako beside him and said seriously: "Sato, now the investigation of the car theft case is entirely in your hands, and Brother Fujino will assist you as a consultant."

"Yes!"

Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she came to her senses and agreed to it.

Fujino took a deep look at Megure and felt that Megure was quite well versed in the officialdom.

It is necessary to understand the ways of the world.

Even though our superiors forbid us from investigating hit-and-run cases, there should be no problem for me to investigate car theft cases, right?

Can car theft and hit-and-run be the same?

Can two cases be called one case?
Can I get the price of two bowls of noodles if I eat one?

…………

Megure Jusan opened the door.

Everyone came out from the lounge.

This case has come full circle and is back in the hands of the First Investigation Division.

Megure Jusan warned in a deep voice: "This time the investigation must be conducted in secret. The Metropolitan Police Department can't provide any help. It's up to you two. If you can't find anything, don't investigate. Be careful."

As he spoke, he patted Fujino's shoulder and said, "Brother Fujino, Sato is a little unreliable. I'll trouble you to take care of her at the critical moment."

"give it to me."

Fujino responded, naturally knowing what Megure was talking about.

That is to stop while you are ahead and don't get Sato Miwako involved.

In fact, what Megure asked them to investigate was not as simple as it seemed.

There are also factions within Neon. Although Megure is not at the level of a faction, the other side does have factions.

It is estimated that this time, they were asked to investigate because it was a game between two factions or something, and Megure asked them to stop while they were ahead, that is, to collect some things and not let themselves get too deeply involved and become victims of the struggle.

Of course, it could also be that it was Brother Megure, the management officers and section chiefs above him, or Director Hakuba really couldn't stand it.

After all, the police in the scientific world still have a sense of justice, such as Sato.

"But the Foreign Minister and the like... I don't know if he has any connection with the rich girl's family. I'll ask him later."

After thinking for a while, he turned and walked downstairs to the Metropolitan Police Department, calling out to the back: "Let's go, Sato!"

"Wait for me!"

Sato Miwako followed, feeling a little resentful.

What do you mean by handing me over to him?
There is something wrong with this statement!

I'm super reliable, okay?
