Chapter 88: Minister Sato's Secret Mission
"Idiot, you've completely offended Sumitomo Pharma this time, aren't you...... Haven't you thought about the serious consequences of this? Now our retired colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department have one less receiving unit with a good salary......
"The subordinates are incompetent, and they are really causing you trouble!"
In the office of Sato's criminal minister, Aizawa and Hanagata were under fierce criticism from the Central Plains Counsellor at this time. At this moment, the Central Plains Counselor was frantically venting his dissatisfaction on the two of them. Obviously, it was a case that the superiors had decided not to investigate, but Lin Xiuyi and the people of the first family actually violated the law, and finally ended with the arrest of a big man like Hideki Calai. Although this incident was ostensibly a manifestation of the Metropolitan Police Department's impartiality, in fact, it caused a lot of hatred between the Metropolitan Police Department and the bureaucrats of Sumitomo Pharmaceutical, the former receiving company, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
……
After Counselor Nakazono finally vented his anger, he turned to look at his superior, Minister Sato, and then wanted to ask for any other instructions.
"That Lin Xiuyi, is he going to leave the search class at the end of the year!"
Minister Sato was silent for a long time, and then asked Counselor Nakazono with some uncertainty.
"Hey, according to the usual practice, the Lin Police Department will complete the police department stage inspection next year, so he should be transferred to the police station below to serve as a deputy at that time. Minister, may I ask you ......?"
Counselor Nakazono asked Minister Sato with some uncertainty. In the past few years, he has been asked by his superiors more than once to deal with the mess left by the special search department, and almost every time he receives such a task, the counselor of Zhongyuan will have a headache. Therefore, at this time, Counselor Zhongyuan will definitely do everything possible to help Lin Xiuyi and let him leave the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible.
"Although there is not much time left, if it continues like this, I am afraid the consequences will be very serious, it seems that ...... We've got to figure out something!"
"Minister, you ...... It wouldn't be that he wanted Lin Xiuyi to continue to stay in the Criminal Department......! It's not conventional!"
"Idiot, how could I keep him in the Criminal Department! What I'm talking about is to find a way to let him stay in the Special Search Department honestly for the rest of the time, and don't cause me any more trouble!"
"Huh...... I'm really sorry, it's my subordinates who are wrong, excuse me...... What are your plans, Minister?"
Hearing Counselor Nakazono's inquiry, Masayoshi Sato couldn't help but ponder for a long time, and then he suddenly pointed at Aizawa and Hanagata and asked:
"You two...... I remember that you used to be Lin Xiuyi's subordinates before, right!"
Hearing that the minister actually asked him in person, Aizawa and Hanagata couldn't help but raise their heads in surprise, and then replied with some restraint.
"Hey...... Hey!"
"That...... The Forestry Police Department previously served as the Administrator of the Sexual Offences Investigation Department 2, and we ...... That's when I worked under him!"
Seeing that Aizawa and Hanagata confirmed their guesses, a rare smile appeared on Sato's face, and then he continued to the two in a kind tone:
"Since you were his men before, this is easy to do, listen...... I want to give you a special task, in the next six months, you have to do everything you can to prevent Lin Xiuyi from continuing to participate in the investigation of the case, if you can't do it, I will kick you out of the search class......"
"Eh......"
Hearing that Minister Sato actually made such a request, Aizawa and Hanagata couldn't help but be surprised. The two never dreamed that the Minister of Crime would give them such an unbelievable order.
"Didn't you hear that? The minister has just said very clearly, in the remaining half a year, don't let Lin Xiuyi continue to meddle in the investigation of the case, otherwise, you will go to the window unit (pension unit), understand!"
"Uh...... Hey, but ......."
"But, anyway, he's a police officer, isn't it...... Are we going to interfere with his actions?"
Hanagata looked embarrassed and asked the counselor of the middle garden for advice.
"That's not something I'm going to think about, and all in all, I can't let things like this happen over and over again. Listen, there are only half a year left in his search class, as long as the Aso Police Department of your department doesn't consult the people of the special search department for every case, I think...... The minister's order is still easily achievable. ”
"If you can complete the things I explained within half a year, I will recommend you to take the promotion exam made up by the police department, otherwise, I will transfer you out of the search class and send you to the police station below......
Perhaps seeing that Aizawa and Hanagata were a little hesitant, Masayoshi Sato once again increased the bargaining chips of the mission.
"This ......"
"Ah...... We'll do what you asked!"
Without waiting for Aizawa to say hesitant, Hanagata jumped over Aizawa straightforwardly and accepted the bargaining chip proposed by Minister Sato's criminal department. In this case, Aizawa could only bow his head and acquiesce in Hanagata's decision.
……
When Aizawa and Hanagata came out of the office of Minister Sato's criminal department, Aizawa hurriedly pulled Hanagata to a place where there was no one, and then questioned him with some anxiety:
"How could you have agreed to such a ridiculous thing just now, but now it's okay, what are we going to do in the future to prevent the Forest Police Department from participating in the investigation of the case?"
"I'm sorry, senior, but I just don't want to be kicked out of the search lesson. Now that we have agreed to Minister Sato's conditions, we can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, there is only half a year left now, and in addition to the police department, there are only two people in the special search department, Miki and Urashima, they are two people, and we are also two people, so it makes no sense that we can't look at them......! My plan is...... Try to snatch all the cases from the hands of the special search department, whether it is a big case or a small case, as long as we can solve it smoothly before the police department takes action, then ...... It doesn't count as disobeying Minister Sato's orders. ”
Hearing Hanagata's words of relief, although Aizawa was still a little relieved, but when he thought that if it went well, he would be able to take the exam of the police department in half a year, Aizawa couldn't help but be a little tempted and said:
"I think you're ...... Maybe the remaining half a year won't be as difficult as I thought!"
