As if to contradict her, Miwako Sato questioned, "Even so, he doesn't have much of an advantage over Inspector Shiratori, does he? Apart from his family background, Inspector Shiratori is just as good in other aspects. Besides, we don't even know if Natsume will be able to solve the case."
"That's why I showed you that video earlier. The one who fought Akiyama Natsuha was the National Karate Championship winner, Kyogoku Makoto—"
The Matsumoto manager said with a serious expression:
"Of course, winning a karate tournament is nothing special, but Kyogoku Makoto is different. What I'm about to say is a secret, so listen carefully and don't spread it around!"
"Yes!"
Miwako Sato and Inspector Megure nodded.
"One night three months ago, in the mountains of Shizuoka Prefecture, two criminal organizations were secretly trading weapons and special items, but the police did not receive any information about the transaction."
"But the next morning, someone reported to the police that a large number of injured people had been found in the mountains. The Shizuoka police quickly responded and were shocked when they arrived in the mountains!"
"Ninety-seven people, all of them were seriously injured. Most importantly, there were more than twenty pistols and several shotguns on the open ground next to them, all of which had been fired!"
Even if the outcome was already known.
The Matsumoto manager's tone still held a hint of admiration.
Is this something a human can do?
"Is it Kyogoku Masami?"
Sato Miwako was also surprised. Natsume's strength was due to cheating, but Kyogoku Makoto didn't cheat. He must have cultivated step by step to reach this level. In that case, he was simply a monster!
"Correct!"
Matsumoto's management officer said:
"The Shizuoka police found a complete video on a criminal's phone. It appears that Makoto Kyogoku was training in the mountains of Shizuoka when he was discovered by these two criminal organizations. They wanted to silence him, but they ran into a brick wall!"
"At the beginning, Makoto Kyogoku was clearly holding back, but after discovering that his opponent was involved in smuggling and arms dealing, he went all out and ended the fight in less than an hour. His opponent did retaliate with firearms, but... Makoto Kyogoku was able to dodge bullets! So in the end, he was completely unharmed!"
After explaining, Manager Matsumoto continued:
"Just like you said, Sato, we don't know yet whether Akiyama Natsuha will be able to solve the case, but he has the same strength as Kyogoku Makoto, which is enough to attract public attention. After all, our work at the Metropolitan Police Department isn't just about solving cases~"
"Right now, the top scorer in the national civil service exam who hasn't even chosen a position yet has already attracted a lot of attention. If Akiyama Natsume joins the Metropolitan Police Department and we assign him to handle a few cases brilliantly, and then we use public opinion to push him forward, he can become the Metropolitan Police Department's rising star!"
"I understand!"
Sato Miwako nodded. The plan was indeed good, and the people above had considered things carefully. Some jobs in the Metropolitan Police Department did not require the ability to solve cases, such as arresting criminal gangs. For such jobs, Natsume could just go and do whatever he wanted!
"Judging from what Megure said, it seems he doesn't want to work for the Metropolitan Police Department?" Superintendent Matsumoto looked at Inspector Megure with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
It's a bit of a shame about Inspector Megure.
"He doesn't seem interested in the Metropolitan Police Department. He even refused when I offered to let Sato show him around!"
Miwako Sato was speechless; Inspector Megure was actually using her as bait to lure Natsume...
"Not interested?"
Manager Matsumoto frowned.
"If that's the case, then things will be a bit tricky."
"Management Officer—"
After considering for a moment, Miwako Sato spoke:
"How about I try to persuade them?"
"you?"
The Matsumoto manager looked puzzled and asked:
"Are you familiar with him?"
Not familiar with them~
Miwako Sato smiled and shook her head.
"However, Xiaolan and he are quite close, and they're good friends. I can find out what he's thinking through Xiaolan. Also, he's going to Yoko Okino's concert tonight, and his seat is not far from mine, so I can also get to know him~"
"Ran? The Mori family's daughter, right?"
"Correct!"
“Then we can certainly influence Akiyama Natsuha through her!” Superintendent Matsumoto agreed to Officer Sato’s suggestion, but then immediately asked, “The concert you’re talking about, the one you received a tip from your informant about, the one where many criminals were attending?”
"Yes, we've already found several, but we don't know if there were any anonymous ones..." Sato Miwako believed there were definitely more, and she was very confident in the buff from the log reward!
It's just tough on Ms. Yoko; she has to be on tenterhooks even when she's holding a concert.
"Is that so?"
Manager Matsumoto pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said:
"I'll add thirty more men to your team. You'll still be in command of the operation. Try to capture as many people as possible!"
"Yes!"
Sato Miwako's eyes were strange. If she sent another thirty people, she would probably still choose those who were willing to help her after get off work. However, if they officially participated in the operation, they would have a record of merit, which would help with bonuses and promotions. That was not bad!
"besides!"
The Matsumoto manager lowered his voice slightly.
"If possible, Sato, you could try to get Natsume Akiyama to join you."
"On the one hand, with his abilities, you can relax a lot and avoid unnecessary injuries. On the other hand, working with you might make him feel a sense of belonging to the Metropolitan Police Department, which would make it easier for us to recruit him!"
"I see!"
"Okay, then go ahead!"
"Yes!"
..........
The entrance of Didan High School.
Xia Ye parked her car on the roadside opposite the gate.
He arrived a little early; Ran, Ai, and Akemi hadn't finished school yet, but they'd be here soon, just a little while.
Lower the seat.
Xia Ye lay down slightly and turned on her phone.
Sure enough, people have started discussing him online as the top scorer in the national civil service exam who didn't even apply for a specific position, and it seems to be generating quite a bit of buzz!
I glanced at it briefly.
Many people are discussing it.
What position will he ultimately choose?
There are all sorts of guesses, but the Metropolitan Police Department is probably only in the middle.
After reading for a while, Xia Ye opened the log.
Gin, that guy, actually wants me to go undercover in the Metropolitan Police Department!
[They've probably become obsessed with killing spies in the organization all day long, and now they're always thinking about sending in a spy themselves for fun!]
I can't be bothered with him!
[Also, because I ranked first in the national senior civil service exam, it seems the Metropolitan Police Department also intends to recruit me. I don't understand why a civil service exam, although important, would attract so much attention.]
[By the way, Inspector Megure just said he wanted Inspector Sato to show me around the Metropolitan Police Department. To be honest, that's a bit too little of a incentive.]
[If I could get Officer Sato to go on a date with me for a day, maybe I'd agree to join the Metropolitan Police Department, hahaha. But that's impossible. Officer Sato is such a straight-laced woman, she would never use her charm! Impossible!]
Metropolitan Police Department parking lot.
Inside the newly started red Mazda RX-7, Miwako Sato saw the updated log and her pretty face darkened.
Who are you calling a "straightforward, iron-willed woman"?
Yumi taught me the Thirty-Six Strategies of a Scumbag Woman.
Honey trap?
As if anyone can't do it!
only.
What reason could one use to employ a honey trap?
I'm not familiar with Xia Ye! He might know me very well, and if I do something wrong, he'll become suspicious!
Sato Miwako, who had indeed learned the Thirty-Six Strategies of a Scumbag Woman from a certain resentful best friend but had never put them into practice, fell into deep thought.
Chapter 105: Catching a fugitive at a concert, huh?
Neon Martial Arts Hall.
When Xia Ye arrived with Xiao Ai, Xiao Lan, and Akemi, it was 4:30 PM.
The concert hasn't started yet, so people are entering.
Ran called Yoko Okino, and then was led in by staff and taken directly to the backstage area.
The concert staff are all very busy, but Yoko Okino, the star of today's show, is quite relaxed.
Before the concert starts, you can't talk too much, as it will affect your voice; you can't do too much, as it will waste your energy; and you can't see too many people, as it will dampen your spirits.
Yoko Okino really wanted to tell them that she still had a few days of radiant buff left, and it wouldn't matter if she went crazy before the concert.
but--
The manager and staff meant well, so Yoko Okino could only stay obediently backstage and not let them worry, since they were all busy with their own concerts.
Fortunately, Officer Sato arrived early, so Yoko Okino was able to chat with her.
Seeing that Xia Ye had brought Xiao Lan, Xiao Ai, and Ming Mei backstage, she quickly and happily went to greet them.
"You've finally arrived! Come in quickly!"
"Miss Yoko, are you nervous?"
After sitting down, Xiaolan curiously looked around Okino Yoko's waiting room. It was spacious, even somewhat empty. Until it was time to go on stage, the staff would avoid coming in to disturb her, so it was very quiet.
"No, I'm actually looking forward to it!"
Yoko Okino's delicate face was filled with a satisfied smile, her light blue eyes sparkling, and she looked radiant and beautiful, as if she were radiating light.
"Miss Yoko is so strong!"
Xiaolan admires her a lot. In the past, she was nervous even when facing weaker opponents in karate competitions. It was only after being instructed by Xia Ye that she was able to approach the competition with a calm mind. But Ms. Yangzi is performing in front of tens of thousands of people and she is not nervous at all. She is really amazing!
the other side.
While Yoko Okino was chatting with Ran and the others.
Xia Ye walked towards Sato Miwako, who had arrived earlier, and asked in surprise, "Officer Sato, why did you arrive so early?"
"Well..."
Remembering Matsumoto's instructions, Sato Miwako pretended to think seriously for a moment before revealing the secret with a serious expression:
"Since you're friends with Ms. Yoko and Ran, I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, our Metropolitan Police Department has an operation tonight!"
"action?"
Xia Ye became interested.
Will there be any action at the concert?
Surely it's not to help maintain order?
"Our Metropolitan Police Department received a tip that several fugitives had purchased tickets to Ms. Yoko's concert, so I'm leading the team this time, hoping to secretly arrest them here at the concert!"
Sato Miwako explained the Metropolitan Police Department's operation plan for tonight to Natsume, and then she saw Natsume's expression turn strange.
"Are you planning to arrest fugitives at the concert?"
Xia Ye almost lost her composure. Is Yoko Okino the Jacky Cheung of the Detective Conan world?
However, if Yoko Okino can actually catch a few fugitives at tonight's concert, she'll definitely be trending on Japanese Twitter tomorrow. These kinds of bizarre and entertaining events can easily become hot topics, whether in China or Japan!
