"Chief Shirakawa, I always feel that you seem to have more meetings during this time, have you been busy lately?"

Looking at Shirakawa Kiyoshi with a slightly tired face, Mina Okino asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the president of a company was killed some time ago, and the media is putting pressure on the police and taking the opportunity to hype up traffic."

By the way, he also poured a glass of water for Mina Okino, and Shirakawa Kiyoshi replied casually.

"You're not responsible for the case?"

"After all, it's not the former Baihe Police Department, and many times, unless it's a case with a bad impact, the hall generally won't let me deal with it."

"Oh~ I understand! It's something like idol baggage! ”

"I can't quite think so, although the public may want to see me deal with those cases, but if I do it casually, it will always give people the false impression that the Metropolitan Police Department is incompetent except for me......

Speaking of this, Bai Heqing suddenly paused.

"Of course, it's not entirely a misunderstanding......

As a senior officer of the police, he knows best that the overall quality of police officers in the police sector has been on a downward trend over the years.

I don't know what went wrong, the older generation of police officers can still see it, and the new generation of young police officers are incompetent.

Obviously, the performance of the person in the police academy is quite acceptable, and when he officially joins the company, the smart little brain melon is like he can't supply blood, and he can do all kinds of brain-crushing operations at the scene of the crime, which is simply outrageous.

Of course, this is not to say that there is nothing to see in the new generation of police officers.

Among them, Bai Heqing actually found a few excellent young police officers some time ago.

For example, Hattori Heizou and Oda Kiri Toshiro are the two people, Shirakawa Kiyoshi just looked at their achievements in the police academy, coupled with their performance in the year after they joined the company, and found that they were the objects that could be made, and he specially ordered them to need "key care".

These outstanding talents must be cultivated with great care, otherwise there will really be big problems in the police circles in the future......

"By the way, Mina, how is the little girl you told me about some time ago?"

Pressing his eyebrows, he suddenly remembered this incident, and Shirakawa Kiyoshi looked at Mina Okino and asked.

At that time, he said that he would let Mina Okino solve the matter by herself, and he never asked again.

"Hmph, don't worry, our relationship is very good now~"

"Yes......" Hearing her words, Bai He nodded his head and didn't ask any more.

"Ah, yes, White River."

Suddenly remembering the little girl's life experience that she had always cared about, Mina Okino suddenly spoke:

"That little girl, her father ......"

"Chief of the White River, it's me."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Bai Heqing's office, and a voice came from outside the door.

Raising his hand to signal Mina Okino to wait for a moment, Shirakawa Kiyoshi said:

"Please come in."

The door opened and came in as a male policeman with two large beards, who looked younger and looked older than Bai Heqing, and was close to forty years old.

Despite this, the rank of the male policeman's badge on his chest is two bars less than that on Bai Heqing's chest, which also indicates that his position in the Metropolitan Police Department is one level lower than Bai Heqing.

This person's surname is Baima, and his police rank is Vigilant.

"White Horse Police? Can I help you? Looking at him, Bai Heqing asked.

This person was also there at the time of the Metropolitan Police Department's high-level meeting just now.

As soon as the white horse policeman came in, he noticed Mina Okino behind Shirakawa Kiyoshi, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately returned to normal, looked at Hakukawa Kiyoshi, and said:

"Hatoyama Police Inspector asked me to inform you that there is progress in the previous case and I need you to go over again......"

"Okay."

Without saying anything, Shirakawa Kiyoshi glanced back at Mina Okino.

"I'll go first, and then you'll talk to me later."

"Hmm."

After saying that, Bai Heqing followed the white horse police officer and left the office.

And Mina Okino blinked the whole time and witnessed this scene.

"It's busy......" she muttered quietly.

[Well, but it's the same later......]

[Father at the Metropolitan Police Department......]

Mina Okino squinted slightly.

“……”

"Sister Policeman."

At noon, the little girl appeared again on the edge of the flower bed in the parking lot of the Metropolitan Police Department.

She held the crepe that Mina Okino had bought for her in both hands, and her face showed a somewhat tangled and embarrassed expression.

"What's wrong?" Also holding a crepe in her hand, Mina Okino asked suspiciously.

"I ...... I would like to ask you for one thing. ”

"Well, okay, let's talk about it."

Without hesitation at all, and without even asking what it was, Mina Okino agreed.

She may have been born with a little talent for being a toolman......

Her reaction made the little girl who was still struggling stunned for a moment.

"It's tomorrow......" hesitating, she said slowly, "I hope the police sister can come and pick me up from school......"

"Ah~ That's it, I thought it was going to be some kind of trouble...... Huh? ”

Suddenly stunned, Mina Okino asked suspiciously: "Wait, Jing girl, I remember you didn't tell me that someone at home will arrange for you to pick you up from school every day?" ”

What can I do in this situation?

Mina Okino didn't say this sentence directly, but the meaning was already expressed.

"Well, that's right." The little girl lowered her head when she heard the sound and replied in a low voice: "But I told my grandfather today that I want to go to school and go home alone, so that he will not arrange for anyone to pick me up......"

"Your grandfather is ...... Promised? ”

"Well, because I said it so many times, my grandfather said yes...... However, it is only allowed for one day...... So, tomorrow, I'll be going home from school by myself......"

She didn't look up at Mina Okino, the little girl kept her head down and spoke in a low voice, and she said the original request again.

"Sister policeman, if you can, I hope you can pick me up tomorrow, even if I go back later tomorrow, it's okay......"

Of course, because the little girl used to talk in a low voice when she was talking from her heart, she always looked like she was talking in a low voice, so Mina Okino didn't have any suspicions, but she thought that the little girl was a little shy about taking the initiative to invite her.

"Good! No problem! Mina Okino agreed.

It's rare for a little girl to take the initiative to invite her once, how could she bear to refuse?

Then the matter of going to the kindergarten to pick up Yoko from school tomorrow will be handed over to that guy in Shirakawa for the time being!

"Well, thanks...... I'm sorry. ”

Seeing that Mina Okino agreed, the little girl was also relieved, and she apologized quietly in a voice that only she could hear.

At this time, Mina Okino didn't know that all this was a small trap thrown by the little girl, and she still underestimated the girl's sensitivity and intelligence.

She was out of school tomorrow, and it was true that those black-clad bodyguards would pick her up again, but it wasn't entirely because of what she said to her grandfather, the main reason was that the person who picked her up had changed.

Her mother has returned to Japan.
