Chapter 356: Burnt Out

"What the hell are you doing?"

The head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department stared at Shiratori angrily and asked loudly: "First the Tianmu bowl of Jingjiatang, and then the nine national treasures of the National Museum disappeared, and now it is even better, Shosoin is directly taken away!" More than a dozen national treasures disappeared overnight? You ......"

He walked up to Shiratori and scolded with a blue face: "The prime minister just called and questioned our police's ability to handle affairs!" Inspector Shiratori, could you please tell me how I should respond? ”

"This ......"

Shiratori took a deep breath and said loudly: "Report to the minister, we have gone all out to investigate all the clues, since the incident, all colleagues have not taken a day off, and basically stayed up all night to investigate any possibilities......"

"The result?"

With an irritated wave of his hand, the head minister interrupted Shiratori's words and asked, "What I want is the result!" Everyone is working hard, and I can see it, but can the outside world see it? ”

"If you look at today's newspaper, the whole page is full of news questioning the unfavorable handling of our police, and the people are full of grievances, and even the royal family has personally come forward to inquire about the affairs of Shosoin, how do you let me face the upper echelons? How to explain it to the public? ”

Speaking of this, the head minister slapped the table, picked up a large stack of newspapers and threw it in front of Shiratori, and said, "I don't care what method you use, three days!" Give me an explanation in three days! ”

"Yes!"

Shiratori said nothing now, left the minister's office, returned to his room, extremely irritable, went to the bathroom and forced himself to calm down with cold water, looked up at his tired face in the mirror, and really wanted to find a place to cry!

From the police to the present, Shiratori has also experienced many big and important cases, and no matter how difficult the case is, it will leave clues, so he has always believed in the power of evidence. But no matter how the police investigate these three treasure theft cases, there is no useful clue at all!

Shiratori took a deep breath and reorganized his emotions, he can't collapse at this time, how many people below are staring at him, he must hold on!

"Meeting! All to the meeting room! ”

Shiratori glanced at the dozen or so people in the conference room with a solemn face, each of them was an elite, a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with him, but now each of them was like himself, his face was full of exhaustion and dejected, like a deflated ball.

"Cheer up! Look at what you look like? ”

Shiratori slapped the table and scolded loudly: "We are the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, responsible for the security forces of tens of millions of people, what do you look like now?" Let's all wash our faces, cheer up and come back to the meeting! ”

After five minutes, everyone cheered up and resumed the meeting, and Shiratori glanced around and said, "There have been three treasure thefts in a row, and I know that everyone has worked hard, but I haven't had any useful clues so far!" The minister is under a lot of pressure, the whole society is staring at our police, and many people are beginning to question the ability of the police to do things, what do you say? ”

"Report team leader, I have some opinions!"

Shiratori looked at his assistant Miyagi, and now they have set up a task force, and he is the team leader, leading the team to be in charge of the treasure theft case. Miyagi is an old subordinate who has followed for many years, and he has a lot of experience and can be trusted.

Miyagi took out a piece of information and analyzed: "I won't say more about the clues you have, I will mainly talk about some of my feelings, it's ridiculous to say, we actually have to rely on feeling this kind of unreliable thing to do as a criminal policeman?" ”

"But years of experience in handling cases have taught me that sometimes intuition is more real and reliable than superficial evidence! Especially for these three cases, there are no clues at all in the investigation so far, not only me, I guess you have also heard some rumors internally, right? ”

"Oh? And this is the case? ”

Shiratori was stunned for a moment, and motioned to Miyagi to continue, he really hasn't paid attention recently, there is such news inside?

Miyagi glanced at the other colleagues and said in a low voice: "Many people say that this is not a normal criminal case at all, and some even say that this is not something that people can do at all!" ”

"Bastard!"

When Shiratori heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and he slapped the case and scolded: "Fart! It's all fart! Who is it? Who is saying such things? ”

He stared at more than a dozen subordinates, his eagle-like gaze swept sharply over each of them, and finally stared at Miyagi and said, "I don't want to hear this kind of nonsense inside the police station in the future, you know?" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, and the atmosphere became even heavier, and Miyagi continued: "Now the direction of our investigation is mainly internal crimes, or internal and external collusion. Whether it is Jingjiatang or the National Museum, the security system is very perfect, and after many inspections by experts after the incident, no traces of external intrusion were found! ”

"Even the display case where the stolen national treasure was located showed no signs of being opened after inspection, which even experts find incredible. The lost are all first-class cultural relics, heirloom national treasures, so there are very few people who can open the cabinet, all personnel have been closely investigated, there was an alibi at the time, without their fingerprints and passwords, how did the perpetrators open the cabinet and steal the national treasure? ”

"As for the surveillance, it is even more incredible, there are no suspicious characters approaching for a few hours before and after the three treasure thefts, the national treasure seems to have disappeared in an instant, no, I'm sorry, not to disappear, but to become a plum blossom, this must be a personal mark deliberately left by the criminal, and now we all call him the plum blossom thief!"

"Plum Blossom Thief?" Shiratori nodded, it can be regarded as an official recognition of this title, three cases in a row, more than 20 national treasures mysteriously disappeared in just ten days, and only three plum blossoms were left at the scene, which has proved that the perpetrator is the same person, or the same team!

Miyagi hesitated, but still spoke: "So now I can talk about my feelings about the case, it may be a little unbelievable, everyone should listen to it!" ”

"I think all three cases were committed by one person! And not the team! ”

"What? Is this possible? ”

"I don't believe it! There is no single person who can steal a national treasure from the National Museum! ”

"Alone? Is it possible? ”

Miyagi's words stirred up a thousand waves, and there was a lot of discussion in the conference room in an instant, but after all, he was a well-trained professional criminal policeman, and he quickly quieted down, since Miyagi dared to say so, there must be a reason for him.

Shiratori nodded, he was still quite satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates, why did he have a meeting to discuss? It's about brainstorming and listening to different people's opinions. Miyagi is an old subordinate, needless to say, he actually feels the same way, but there is no evidence, and he can't easily say it to affect the team.

"Not only that, but I also think that it is not an internal crime, or even a native who committed the crime, and the perpetrator is very likely to be a foreigner!"

Miyagi's words have been clarified, so he has no scruples, and continues to analyze: "The stolen cultural relics are all first-class national treasures, and the first two times, whether it is the Yao Transformation Heavenly Eye of Jingjiatang or the Nine National Heavy Weapons, they are all national treasures from China, and most of the ones lost in Shosoin last night are Chinese national treasures......"

"I don't agree with you!" Suddenly, a voice interrupted, and a criminal policeman stood up and said, "Shosoin has lost seven of our country's own cultural relics, and each of them is also a national treasure, how do you explain this?" ”
