Chapter 198: Three Lines of Five
"Why are you stopping me, the Dusk Police Department can't go to this matter alone, it will be dangerous for him."
Miwako Sato, who was motioned out of the office by Uehara and Shiratori with one look, stood in the empty office corridor, pointing to the closed door with one hand and trying her best to persuade her, and constantly flying up and down with the other hand to make gestures, her face full of puzzlement: "This is not his case, but also ours."
"I understand the reasoning, but do you think that alone will make the Twilight Police Department let us join?" Katsumi Uehara, leaning against the wall, looked up at the ceiling and said, "Obviously, he's protecting us."
"Uehara is right."
Ren Saburo Shiratori on the side was also helping: "And the Twilight Police Department is not wrong, this matter involves the high-level and is not something we can handle, if nothing else, you should also know that there are also various forces intertwined within the Metropolitan Police Department."
"And in this situation, the Twilight Police Department is using his own position as our umbrella."
「……」
Miwako Sato, who had nothing to say for a while, turned her head to look at the corner of the corridor, crossed her waist with one hand, bit her lip and was silent.
"Actually...... I don't think there's a need to be so pessimistic, and now things are getting clearer, aren't they?"
Takagi, who was a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the group, raised his hand and proposed, "As long as we are right in the end, isn't it?"
Chiba on the side woke up like a dream, and nodded busily like pounding garlic: "What Takagi said is right, as long as we are right, even if the forces behind the counselor want to liquidate the Twilight Police Department."
has been in the police world for twenty or thirty years, and has been promoted from a grassroots criminal policeman all the way to the position of the head of the department with real power, and Twilight Thirteen is not no one behind him.
This is Tokyo, and it's the Metropolitan Police Department.
There are so many police officers from the non-professional group, and a position with real power in his hands is fragrant, and it is difficult to sit still without any ability, wrist and background.
"That's true, but—"
"Are you not confident in yourself, or are you not confident in the Twilight Police Department?"
At the moment when Miwako Sato spoke again, Katsumi Uehara reached out from the pocket of his suit and felt for the gum box, opened the lid and flew two pills into his mouth, chewing and interrupting.
「?」
The woman leaned over to look at him, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Don't look at me like that, I know I'm handsome, but please refrain from being a nymphomaniac."
The grinning Katsumi Uehara raised an eyebrow at her, and then turned his gaze to the other three: "Takagi, Chiba, continue to track down the line of Kenzo Kashiyama; Shiratori, can you use your family's connections?"
"Of course, although my dream is to be a police officer to uphold justice, I have never rejected the convenience that being the son of the Shiratori Foundation will bring me."
The corner of the white bird's mouth, which understood what his friend meant, also flowed a confident smile: "Rich and powerful do not conflict with the option of supporting justice."
Katsumi Uehara pursed his lips, turned sideways to face the woman he was partnering with, and spread his hands wide to the left and right: "So, what about you, Ms. Miwako Sato?"
「…………」
In just a moment, Miwako Sato received the gaze of four people. In the closed mouth, the tip of the tongue moved on the lips and teeth for a long time, the delicate eyebrows were raised, and the head nodded wordlessly: "Please give me two pieces of chewing gum too, thank you."
"I thought you didn't like mint."
"This score."
The empty office area is close in front of you, and the three-line five-person group led by Katsumi Uehara stands in the corridor with different postures, and the standing positions are staggered, and the eyebrows and eyes are full of ambition.
"Okay, in that case, Chris Binyard will be handed over to me and Sato to deal with, and the rest will be left to you."
"Understood!"
………………………………………………
"Big brother, Belmode has been taken to the Metropolitan Police Department."
east
Kyo, one of the strongholds of the organization.
Vodka, dressed in black in sunglasses, looked at the news in hand, and couldn't hide the excitement in his tone: "The plan is going well, and the only uncertainty now is whether Twilight Thirteen will do what you expected, big brother."
"Don't worry, he will."
On the coffee table with wine glasses, many documents were scattered horizontally, among which the dossier printed with Twilight Thirteen was prominently placed in the most conspicuous position.
The corners of Gin's mouth, which was shaking the ashes, went up, and his tone was full of certainty: "From the analysis of the data, this Twilight Thirteen has always been a person who loves his subordinates. So, for the sake of his men's future, he will definitely take responsibility and inform Kiel to get ready."
"Yes, big brother."
Vodka departed excitedly, leaving only the gin who snuffed the cigarette butt down in the ashtray with his eyes cold, looking at the intelligence file on the coffee table only under Twilight, and the half-length photo of Katsumi Uehara made him feel particularly glaring.
"Hmph, police."
With a cold snort, the long black trench coat got up with Gin and wiped the edge of the ashtray full of cigarette butts, and Gin, who was wearing leather gloves, pushed open the door and walked out of the villa, raised and pressed the brim of his hat with one hand, and walked against the wind to the Porsche 356A that was quietly parked at the door, holding the doorknob with one hand.
"Click"——
The crisp sound of the doorknob turning made Belmodenu, who was sitting in the lounge drinking coffee, pause as he blew his cup of noodles, and turned his head to see two figures, a man and a woman, standing in the doorway, with a dappled and blinding light behind them.
"Who are you? What about the Twilight Police Department? What about my sister?"
Belmode, who still remembered that he was "Miyano Shiho" at the moment, frowned and looked vigilant.
"Katsumi Uehara, a policeman."
"Miwako Sato, search a section of the police department."
Compared with the man's casual and lazy tone, Miwako Sato, who showed off her ID, was obviously much more serious: "Miss Shiho Miyano, do you mind if we ask you a question before you meet Akemi Miyano?"
"Of course, what's the problem?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just ......."
His right hand touched Katsumi Uehara on the left wheel and tilted his head, and in the next second, the pitch-black muzzle of the gun was condescendingly aimed at the "Miyano Shiho" with a frightened face: "What is the purpose of your disguise like this?"
——?!
Before Belmode could perform a wave of face changes, Miwako Sato had already half-turned around and closed the door with her feet raised, showing off her handcuffs.
At the same time, the Metropolitan Police Department, the office of the management officer of the first section of the search.
Twilight Thirteen, with a round belly, stood respectfully at the wide desk and finished the presentation.
"I'm afraid that's not what you investigated, Twilight."
Kiyocho Matsumoto, who was not smiling, put down the report document in his hand, which was obviously just printed, and nodded at his subordinates meaningfully.
"It's me, Steward."
"Katsumi Uehara?" Kiyocho Matsumoto, who ignored Twilight's answer, picked up the teacup and said a name.
Twilight Thirteen didn't say anything more, but shook her head in denial.
"Twilight, do you know what the Investigative Counselor's words mean?"
"It's just an investigation, and solving the case is the duty of the police, and that's what you taught me back then, Matsumoto, isn't it?"
Twilight Thirteen straightened her back, her face full of determination.
"If we don't get it right, we'll clash with the support forces behind him."
"Administrator, I have seen many good seedlings in the past 20 years, they all have extremely high talents, but in the end they have left the industry for various reasons or are depressed, and the Maori brother is one of the examples."
Twilight Thirteen slowly took off her hat, revealing the hidden scar with a determined expression, "I didn't have the ability before, but now, I have the right to shelter my men.
"Not only Uehara, but also Shiratori, Sato, Takagi, and Chiba. They may not be as good as Uehara, but they are still in this world
An indispensable good cop.
"Even if some of them are not in the third line in the future, at this moment, the five of them are the trump cards of my third line."
