Chapter 13 Invitation to the Director's Cup
"Section Chief, the search team just reported that there was a fatal case in the office building of the Nishi-Shinjuku generation, and they have already rushed there to conduct a search, that ...... Shall we send someone to take a look?"
"Eh, Aizaki-kun, have you already notified this office?"
"I've been informed!"
"Oh...... Well, tell my wife-kun of the search team not to touch anything at the scene until the officers of the first search section arrive......"
"But...... Section Chief: This case is happening in our jurisdiction, isn't it...... Don't we have to go over and take a look?"
"Since this kind of thing is in charge of the head of this department, it is naturally difficult for us to intervene rashly, and ...... I have important things to report to the new Director!"
"Eh, Section Chief, do you want the new Commissioner to guide us on how to improve the rate of solving crimes? I heard that Director Lin was a very good police officer when he was in this department?"
"What do you want? I'm talking about this year's Director's Cup, if you want to solve the case, pray that the new director can kill all sides in the Director's Cup, and fight for us a few more opportunities to be transferred to this office!"
"Ah...... Our commissioner is so young and an elite bureaucrat of the Metropolitan Police Department, no matter how you look at it, we probably won't lose to those old men in the Director's Cup! It seems that this year's Shinjuku Central Police Station will definitely have a lot more places to enter this office than last year!"
……
Looking at the expectant look of the young subordinate, Section Chief Adachi couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart. If you perform well, you may be transferred to the main office, and you don't have to be like yourself, and the cases you are responsible for every day are nothing more than catching robbers and thieves, or murders?
Section Chief Adachi muttered a few words silently in his heart, then took out an invitation letter from another police station from his briefcase, and ...... Walked towards Lin Xiuyi's office.
"Knock! knock!"
"Come in, please?"
Hearing the sound of response coming from the room, Section Chief Adachi tidied up his coat outside the door with some restraint, and then pushed open the door and walked into the room.
"Commissioner, this invitation is from the neighboring Shibuya Central Police Station!"
After Adachi walked into the room, he first saluted Lin Xiu, and then took a few steps forward and handed the invitation to the other party with both hands.
After a while, when Lin Shuichi put this invitation aside, he couldn't help but ask Section Chief Adachi with some doubts:
"That...... Adachi-kun, what the hell is the Administrator's Cup mentioned above!"
"Oh, Director, don't you know?"
"Uh...... I'm new here, and there are really a lot of things that aren't clear, that ...... I'm about to ask Adachi-kun for advice!"
"Director, you are so polite, speaking of this Director's Cup, in fact...... It was only a golf tournament organized by the 19 central police stations under the Metropolitan Police Department, but it was ...... In the past, the competition was attended by the commissioners of each central police station, but this year, you are the only commissioner at the Shinjuku Central Police Station, so you ...... You deserve to participate in this competition......"
Hearing Adachi's explanation, Lin Xiuyi understood what was going on, but when he thought that he had just taken office, he had a lot of things to do. At this time, he was still familiar with the police situation in Shinjuku District, so he said with some disapproval:
"It was just a game ......of golf! You see that I have just taken office, or you should help me politely refuse!"
"Director, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Huh?"
"Commissioner, you've just come down from the Metropolitan Police Department to the local police station, and there are some things you may not know very well. Although the Director's Cup is nominally a game of golf, in reality, it is an important gathering for the central police stations to coordinate policing activities in their respective jurisdictions. Director, you've probably heard of the Halloween Parade in Shibuya!"
"Uh...... Well, I know, but I haven't had a chance to see it?"
"It's no secret that every year during the Halloween parade, the Shibuya Central Office coordinates the police from our side, and correspondingly, if something happens in the area under the jurisdiction of the Shinjuku Central Office, and we need help from other offices, they will also help. Other than that...... On the day of the Director's Cup, the directors of each central agency will coordinate the number of personnel selected from each agency to be assigned to this office, so if you don't attend, I'm afraid you ......."
When Adachi sat down and explained to Lin Xiuyi euphemistically, Lin Xiuyi's heart immediately understood what he meant. Shinjuku Central Police Station is not a Metropolitan Police Department after all, and I am afraid that there is only a work intersection with other police stations on weekdays, so ...... It is necessary for the directors of the central agencies to have some work communication, and the director's cup is an occasion for this communication.
"Okay! I think I get what you mean, then...... I'll be there on time!"
Seeing that Lin Xiuyi's reaction seemed to understand the meaning of his words, Section Chief Adachi immediately felt a lot more relieved, but in order to keep Lin Xiuyi, who participated in this activity for the first time, not to be overwhelmed, Section Chief Adachi still reminded Lin Xiuyi with some uneasy savings:
"Director, according to past experience, it is said that the director who plays golf well will be more popular, so ...... It's best to take some time to practice before the competition!"
"Uh...... But...... I don't think I know how to fight at all!"
"Eh, Director, are you ...... It's humbling!"
"Ah...... Looks like I'm going to have to find time to buy a set of equipment!"
"Director, you ...... You don't really want to!"
"I'm a complete layman, I haven't even touched a golf club since I was a child!, but it doesn't seem like a very strenuous sport, but it suits my situation! By the way, except for the clubs...... Is there anything else you need to prepare in advance?"
"That...... It is customary for the relatives of the director to visit the tournament on the day of the tournament, and it is said that ...... The Administrator's wives also hold regular meetings in private, so ......"
"Wait a minute, do you mean relatives? I only have one sister at home, wouldn't it be inappropriate to let her go!"
"Well, Director, most of the directors of the other departments are made up of their wives, so they ......."
"Ma'am, but...... I'm not married, so what can I do?"
"Uh...... Director...... In fact...... In fact, if Ms. Akemi had the time to participate, the effect might have been better!"
