"Although we can't intervene in police cases, we can't relax on the daily cases of the Metropolitan Police Department and we have to go deeper."

After Odagiri Toshiro finished speaking as his immediate superior, Officer Megure gathered his subordinates together and took advantage of the Shiratori family's banquet to instruct the follow-up work tasks of the Investigation Division.

"We are the most troublesome here."

Holding their chests, Matsuda Jinpei and Shiratori Jinsaburo both sighed: "I don't know why, the boss asked the Criminal Division to thoroughly investigate the previous cases. We have been overwhelmed recently."

The criminal police are talented, unlike other departments. As long as they can solve a major case that shocked the whole country, sometimes it is easy to get promoted.

Of course, the premise is that it is a professional group, not a non-professional group.

Half of the cases that Matsuda Jinpei and the others have reviewed recently are cases that Officer Megure has solved before. Considering that Kudo Yusaku, Kudo Shinichi and Maori Kogoro have provided off-site assistance, the problem of misjudgment and misarrest is barely acceptable.

But it is different for the old people who are already in high positions in the local police headquarters in Japan. Most of them make arrests based on subjective judgment in order to close cases quickly, and many cases can be overturned.

If it is revealed that many of the criminals they arrested in the past were wrongly accused, then being forced to resign is absolutely inevitable.

"Recently, many people have come to us with connections, Officer Megure."

Seeing that the heads of other departments have walked away tactfully, Shiratori can finally speak some truth.

"I really don't understand how such people joined the police in the first place. They should have sworn an oath to the cherry blossoms!"

"Shiratori." Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his messy hair: "I told you a long time ago that there are few good people in the top management, and they should be punched in the face."

"I didn't realize that you wanted to beat me so much."

Officer Megure raised his eyebrows and looked at Matsuda Jinpei as if he was a fool.

"According to what you said, it seems that I have to think carefully about whether or not to give Sato's hand to you at the wedding."

Ignoring the choking look of Matsuda Jinpei, Inspector Megure hesitated and said, "First, clean up my cases in the past few years and put those people's cases aside."

"Is that it?! Because of their mistakes, many innocent people are sitting in prison!"

Shiratori Jinzaburo seemed to have forgotten that this was his sister's wedding: "This is not like Inspector Megure's remarks at all. Have you changed too?"

"Shiratori! Calm down." Sato Miwako couldn't listen any more: "The administrator doesn't want this either, but no matter what, it's not something that can be done on a whim."

After a moment of silence, Shiratori Jinzaburo said silently: "Sorry."

"It's okay." Megure Jusan waved his hand: "But while you two are clearing the cases, Sato-kun, I have another thing to ask of you."

"Me?" Sato Miwako nodded.

"When they talked about this just now, I suddenly remembered Narasawa Osamu."

"He was killed by terrorists today, right?" Fortunately, both of them were from the First Investigation Division, and Sato Miwako immediately remembered his appearance.

"Although he has long been out of the Third Division, I have asked him about the cases involved in the Qing case, and he held his police manual in his hand before he died."

"Do you suspect that those local high-ranking officials hired assassins to kill them?" Matsuda Jinpei's face also became serious.

"So I hope that Sato, while the two of them are dealing with those guys, you can secretly investigate the cases related to Nara Sawaji. I will also give you the extra gun I applied for."

Inspector Megure took out a key from his pocket and handed it over: "If you are careful, those guys won't notice you, and it should be safe."

"I know."

The police from the Investigation Division 1 finally dispersed. After seeing his wife, Megure Jusan took her to talk to his old friend, the writer Pigeon Spirit, while Takagi Wataru formed a duo with Chiba as usual, wandering in the banquet hall, chatting and laughing with acquaintances from time to time, and only the former love triangle remained in place.

"You are getting married, that's great."

Inspector Shiratori seemed to remember that he had mistaken Sato Miwako for his first love in the past, and felt embarrassed and wanted to hit the wall when he thought about it.

With a snort, Matsuda Jinpei put his arm around Sato Miwako's waist, but was slapped down by his fiancée.

"I'll have to trouble Officer Shiratori to send these police officers back tonight."

"That's for sure. If they are killed because of attending the Shiratori Group's banquet, I will never forgive myself."

Shiratori and Matsuda Jinpei looked at each other, and both looked at Sato Miwako: "Where do you plan to start the investigation?"

"It would be great if we could take all the records related to these 17 police officers and take a look."

Sato Miwako proposed her own idea, which was undoubtedly rejected by Matsuda Jinpei and Shiratori.

"You need to leave your name when borrowing cases, and you can only view them in the archive area. The monitoring system has been in stable operation."

Matsuda said regretfully: "If it was before the change of the chief, it would be fine. The current chief has updated the equipment, and each floor of the Metropolitan Police Department has independent power supply. It is unlikely to take advantage of the chaos."

"Then we can only start with the police in our first section." Sato nodded: "Have you seen the investigation case involving Narasawa Osamu?"

"Yes, there is only one."

Shiratori Jinsaburo slowly looked at his immediate superior: "It was the murder of Ninoho that Minister Odagiri ordered to be put on the list of investigations. It was also because of this that Manager Megure called Narasawaji to question him."

"Ninoho? Isn't that..."

Matsuda Jinpei knew, of course, that this was a case three years ago. For some reason, the higher-ups ordered the now deceased Officer Tomonari to take Narasawaji, Sato Miwako, and Matsuda Jinpei to follow Odagiri Toshiro's son, seemingly suspecting that he had killed Ninoho, who was suspected of committing suicide.

"It shouldn't be because of this case. Other police officers have not participated in any cases related to Narasawaji."

Sato Miwako sighed again: "But no matter what, I'll go check it out."

The first person to be killed today was Narasawaji. At least as a colleague, although I can't do anything to avenge him, I can still complete his unfinished investigation work.

"By the way, my attending physician is a fellow alumnus of Ninoho's class. Do you want to talk to him about the situation?"

"Really? That's great."

Taking out a notepad from his bag, Officer Sato walked towards the psychiatrist amidst several eyes staring at Kyousuke Fudo.

"Mr. Shiratori, tonight's activities are not what I expected."

Kyousuke Fudo froze for a moment when he saw Sato, but quickly returned to normal: "I thought it was just an ordinary wedding, who is this?"

"My colleague, also a capable person in the First Investigation Division, very famous."

"Is that so..."
