Chapter 905 Yamato Kansuke: Stop calling it a useless chapter!
Kuroda Hyōe knew perfectly well that his joining the task force this time wasn't really about being appointed as the team leader and giving orders...
On the contrary, those above him, especially Toshiro Odagiri, strongly disliked Kuroda Hyoue taking on this role as team leader, and even more so, they didn't want him to direct the case.
the reason is simple--
Although both the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Police Department belong to the Japanese police system, they are not comparable at all.
If a Metropolitan Police Department case were to be solved by a public security officer, it would be a laughing stock...
However, it wouldn't work without Kuroda Hyōe...
After all, he was still the supervising officer of the First Investigation Division, and the head of the Third Division at that.
Therefore, I must get in, but I cannot seize command...
This was something Kuroda Hyoue had already figured out from the very beginning...............................
This was exactly what he wanted—
From the very beginning, Kuroda Hyōe had no intention of getting involved in this case..............................
Just kidding, he's from the Japanese Public Security Bureau, not the Metropolitan Police Department. Why should he work for the Metropolitan Police Department?
Anyway, one more person won't make a difference, and one less person won't make a difference either...
It seems that Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the manager who has recently been making headlines, has also figured this out, which is why he didn't show any humility just now and directly took over command.
Kuroda Hyōe was thinking this to himself...
His idea was indeed quite good—
This is how Lin Chia-yu thought...
With the unabashedly deferential remark of "Matsumoto Kiyonaga," the atmosphere fell silent once more.
The group first glanced at Kuroda Hyōe, then at Matsumoto Kiyōna..........................
When they discovered that the supervising officer Kuroda Hyōe showed no reaction whatsoever, and that the supervising officer Matsumoto Kiyonaga was equally adamant in his words..............................
Everyone already knows who their team leader is.........................................
"The task force leader will be handed over to Manager Matsumoto,"
Kuroda Hyōe spoke, addressing the crowd.
"I will serve as the deputy team leader, based at the Metropolitan Police Department, providing logistical support to all officers................................"
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of putting someone's name on it...
Upon hearing Kuroda Hyoue's words, everyone couldn't help but silently criticize him in their hearts..................................
At this moment, Shiratori Ninzaburo seemed unwilling to embarrass his current superior, so he spoke up, continuing the previous topic.
"Now that the team leader has been chosen, we should discuss................................."
"Officer Shiratori................................"
Yamato Kansuke suddenly spoke, interrupting Shiratori Ninzaburo.........................
He looked at Shiratori Ninzaburo, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"Please tell me something important.............................."
"I think that instead of investigating why the suspect left those mahjong tiles, we should focus on investigating the six victims we've already identified..."
Is there a connection between them? Do they have any untold secrets?
"Also, why were most of the victims found in Kanagawa Prefecture...?"
"Was this done intentionally by the murderer...?"
After Yamato Kansuke said this, there was a sudden silence...
The series of questions hit the nail on the head, leaving Shiratori Ninzaburo momentarily speechless.................................
To be honest, Shiratori Ninzaburo had never really thought about these questions before.................................
Especially the last one—
Why were three of the six victims discovered in Kanagawa Prefecture?
"good..........................."
Ayami Ogino, from the Saitama Prefectural Police, was the first to nod in agreement upon hearing Kansuke Yamato's words.
"Why was the body of our Saitama Prefecture councilor's secretary dumped in Tokyo? That's something I've always wanted to know..."
"While there's a logic to throwing things far away and burying them nearby, it's quite obvious..."
"Besides our Saitama Prefecture's third victim................................"
"The victims number one, two, four, five, and six do not fit this logic..."
"The murderer must have had his reasons for doing this..."
"This is not something we can solve by mere speculation; we must take action to prove it..."
"And excluding their social connections is the best course of action..."
Ayami Ogino, despite being the youngest among them, has firmly established herself as a police inspector in Saitama Prefecture. Her abilities far surpass those of seasoned veterans like Inspector Megure who rose through the ranks...
Unlike her predecessor, Yokomizo Sango, Ayami Ogino is a very pragmatic person, and she is closer to the ideas of Yokomizo Sango's younger brother, Yokomizo Shigeo.
Detectives are all idiots!
They're all dreamers, they only know how to solve cases through imagination...........................
If it weren't for the police officers' gradual accumulation of experience, the detectives' methods of solving cases would have resulted in countless retrials throughout the year...
I'm afraid the doors of the procuratorate will be worn down by foot traffic...
"Ogino is right.............................."
As the region with the most victims, Kanagawa Police Inspector Shigego Yokomizo also spoke out...
"Our immediate priority is to investigate the connections between these victims and their underlying social relationships..."
"We've already done a lot regarding purely personal social relationships; even the Kanagawa Prefectural Police, along with our colleagues, investigated the second and fourth victims..."
However, they still couldn't find anything in common between them...................................
"Therefore, taking advantage of this joint investigation opportunity, I hope we can 'integrate the information' and conduct a more detailed investigation into the social backgrounds of these six victims................................"
When Yokomizo Shigego said this, he specifically emphasized the words "integrate data"...
The reason, of course, is that it subtly alludes to Shiratori Ninzaburo...
His meaning was clearly understood by the many police officers below.
We need to integrate the data, but not by simply rereading what everyone already knows. Instead, we need to use this data to uncover the connections between them...
This matter should have been handled by your department almost a week after the case was transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department................................
But now it's clear you haven't done a good job, so let's work together...
Although Yokomizo Shigego appears to be a large, rough man, he possesses a delicate sensibility. His words, while not directly insulting anyone by name, were a way of giving Shiratori Ninzaburo some face.
However, Shiratori Ninzaburo, who understood the deeper meaning behind the words, felt somewhat embarrassed..........................................
There are some things that he simply can't do, not because he doesn't want to!
As someone who's only been in the professional team for less than a year, and hasn't even had much real-world experience, how could he possibly discern anything?
Actually, Shiratori Ninzaburo's abilities are quite good, but he still lacks experience...
This is a common problem among professional police officers..........................
Therefore, professional officers need to spend a full year at the grassroots level before they can be promoted to police inspector...............................
Otherwise, an official who knows absolutely nothing about case-handling procedures, no matter how talented, will only be good at theoretical discussions but ineffective in practice.
