Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 109 Gunshots from Metropolitan Police Department

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building adopts a grim architectural style. The exterior walls are all blue-gray marble with a square glass curtain wall. The winter sun penetrates in, and even the whole building is square and square. .

  This morning, when a meeting was held in the conference room of the third investigation team on the top floor of the Metropolitan Police Department building.

  The third floor of the Metropolitan Police Department Building, which belongs to the first search section of the criminal department.

  In an office behind the corner at the end of the corridor, one of the deputy heads of the first search department, the deputy head Hayabusa Matsuo, works here on a daily basis.

  Today was the same as usual, holding a cup of morning coffee from the vending machine downstairs, he smiled and greeted the beautiful female assistant at the front desk with a smile, and then walked slowly into the office.

   After a while, the female assistant came in to question him because of a case yesterday.

   Unexpectedly, after knocking on the door and entering, I found that the former easy-going and humorous deputy head Hayabusa Matsuo was sitting with his back to his desk, with a cup of coffee in his hand, staring blankly at the winter scenery on the street outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

  The female assistant said a few words, but the other party didn't respond, but just nodded with her back turned. She thought that her boss was thinking about some important case, so she put down the documents in her hand and went out to close the door first.

  After the female assistant went out, Deputy Section Chief Matsuo Hayabusa looked down at the phone screen in his hand, with a complex expression on his face.

   It never occurred to him at all,

   Such a thing happened to me one day.

   Perhaps,

   He should never have joined that organization in the first place.

   Turning his head, there is a group photo of Zhang's family of three on the table in Matsuo Hayabusa's office.

  I still remember that when I went to work this morning, my five-year-old daughter had a little temper, and he squatted down to promise that he would bring home something delicious after get off work to coax the little princess.

   Available now.

Deputy Head Hayabusa Matsuo looked at the email on the computer screen on the desktop with some discomfort in his heart. He had been lying quietly in his draft box since he came to the office in the morning—it looked very much like the email he had these days Words written after staying up all night in "Painful Confession".

  “Twenty years ago, I was just an ordinary graduate of the new Tokyo Central Police Academy. I joined the Metropolitan Police Department under the sacred oath. At that time, I was full of enthusiasm, and the law was sacred and inviolable in my eyes.”

   "I don't know when, my thoughts were eroded, and I started to dereliction of duty and accept bribes. I watched others go up to the top, and I was still a small deputy head for so many years. I felt like I was holding a fire in my heart."

   "Why! Why can he be promoted to section chief?"

"I finally let go of this fire. After the quarrel, I accidentally killed the most competitive deputy head, Nakagawa Crane, and disguised it as suicide. But after this period of time, I fell into extreme confusion and painful confession. During the period, I began to reflect on myself and what I had done, but I couldn’t tell anyone, and the doctor said that I had some depression tendencies.”

  "The condemnation of conscience and the sanctity of the law made me realize that it is too late to turn back today, and I want to end all this."

  “.”

  Reading the text in his email draft box, the deputy head Hayabusa Matsuo gently stroked the photo frame with his fingers.

He is not a native of New Tokyo, his family background is ordinary, and his wife is also a middle-aged woman from Wano country with ordinary looks. However, it is slightly different from the family portrait in the photo frame. Now his wife's abdomen is slightly bulging, and she has already conceived eight children It's been a month, and their little family in New Tokyo is about to usher in a new life.

The five-year-old daughter may suddenly realize this morning that the upcoming little life in her mother's womb may threaten her status as a little princess at home in the future, so she gave birth to ventilate and declare her sovereignty, but she was soon coaxed by his promise of delicious food up.

Thinking of his daughter's cute pouting appearance when she was angry, the deputy head Hayabusa Matsuo's face was a little inexplicably sad. He stretched out his hand and slowly opened the drawer. His fingertips touched the cold black old-fashioned police gun, which had accompanied him a lot. Many years old buddy.

  Suddenly, Matsuo Hayabusa, deputy head of the department, became a little short of breath.

  The meeting room on the top floor of the Metropolitan Police Department Building.

  After someone uttered a certain sentence, the atmosphere in the conference room fell into a stagnation for a while.

  The captain of the 13th squad, Sugita Tsukasa, stared straight at Kimura Baituo, the captain of the 5th squad, who was sitting on the right hand side of the first place.

  The latter's face is as usual, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression is still so melancholy and calm under his slightly long hair.

  As Captain Miyano Juro of the 6th Division said, these two men are the "ideal types" most popular with the girls in the Metropolitan Police Department building in the 3rd Investigation Team.

  And one day, when these two people confronted each other, for some girls, it might be a little deer bumping in their hearts, and they were so excited that they could make up hundreds of thousands of words of harmonious content.

  But for the people present in the conference room, the surrounding air seemed to drop to freezing point all of a sudden.

   "Ahem."

  The captain of the first team, Tsukada, coughed dryly.

  As Tokugawa Kurotora's powerful right-hand man, Tsukada, who has a generous body and a majestic momentum, has a bit of the shadow of Tokugawa Kurotora.

  In the past, Tokugawa Kuritora was on a business trip, and he was also responsible for all the big and small affairs of the third team of New Tokyo. Strictly speaking, the sudden emergence of the captain of the fifth division, Kimura Baituo, replaced him.

  However, at this moment, Masayoshi Tsukata looked at Tsukasa Sugita, the captain of the thirteenth division, the youngest of the third group, and said in a serious tone:

   "Sugita, the whereabouts of the leader Tokugawa is unknown. I don't want anyone to affect the unity of the group. This is what the leader doesn't want to see. Any accusation without evidence is a slander that affects unity."

  The captain of the sixth team, Juro Miyano, once discussed this issue with Tsukasa Sugita in private when he first came to the Metropolitan Police Department to adjudicate Judge Simek Joya.

   In the end, there is no evidence to let it go.

  But Miyano Juro never expected that Tsukasa Sugita, the youngest member of the 13th division, would have such a straight personality that he would bring it up at such an important meeting today.

   Is he still investigating during this time?

   Or have you found any reliable evidence?

   Miyano Juro was thinking this, but Sugita Tsukasa's next sentence made him stunned.

   "I don't have direct evidence, but I can use a series of inferences to prove to everyone that Captain Kimura of the Fifth Division is the biggest suspect in the murder of Deputy Section Chief Nakagawa of Section 2."

  Hearing his words, the captain of the first team, Tsukada, couldn't help but frowned.

  Any reasoning without evidence, no matter how rigorous and self-consistent the logic is, is just a hypothesis.

  Takata knew that because he had been helping Tokugawa Kuritora as an agent for the third investigation team, many people regarded him as the successor of the next team leader, and their hearts were biased towards him.

  Now the leader of the Tokugawa team has just had an accident, but the person who is pushed up is the part-time job in the fruit ability research institute on weekdays.

  It is inevitable that there will be some resistance in everyone's heart.

   But this cannot be a reason to split into three groups.

   What's more, Tsukada Masa is actually the same as Tokugawa Kuritora in his heart, and he is more optimistic about the little girl he adopted with dual talents. Under the personal training of Tokugawa's team leader, he will have unlimited room for growth in the future.

  He didn't want to affect the internal unity of the third investigation team because of this small emotion and the irrelevant position of acting team leader. He would have no face to deal with it when Tokugawa Katsura came back.

"Sugita, the case of Deputy Section Chief Nakagawa has been closed. If you have any evidence, you can provide it to the Special Search Section, but today is the ceremony for Captain Kimura's inauguration as the acting captain. I hope everyone can unite and live up to the team leader's commitment to everyone. expect."

   Tsukada said to Tsukasa Sugita with a dignified face.

   Tsukasa Sugita took a deep breath and raised three fingers.

  He glanced at the people with different expressions around the conference table, and finally landed on Baituo Kimura whose face was still calm, and said in a calm voice:

   "I just don't want to live up to Team Leader Tokugawa's expectations, and not insult his unshakable justice, so I stand up. I only need three minutes."

  At this moment, Takagi Shin, head of the Metropolitan Police Department, who temporarily helped chair the meeting today and announced the position of acting team leader, suddenly said with a serious face:

   "But you have to know that any reasoning is based on evidence."

   "I understand, I just hope that after listening to my words, the relevant departments can reopen the case of the death of Deputy Section Chief Nakagawa, and I will personally investigate to the end."

   "Okay, then I'll give you three minutes."

  Shen Takagi turned his head and glanced at Kimura Baituo, remembering the intertwined family power behind him, and said carefully, "No matter what misunderstanding there is, I think Team Leader Kimura should also need a chance to prove his innocence."

  Kimura Baituo nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Sugita Division calmly.

  However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room.

   After a while, the door opened.

  The secretary outside the door said anxiously, "There seems to be an accident down below. The colleagues in the search department called and said that there was a sudden shooting on the third floor of the Metropolitan Police Department."
