Chapter 901 Matsumoto Kiyonaga's Little Fanboy.....
At Inspector Megure's gesture, his three henchmen immediately understood and stepped forward to open the door, clearing the way for their two superiors...
Oh no, to be precise, they were two underlings—
Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru went up, but Shiratori Ninzaburo hadn't made a move yet..................................
The reason is simple: although Shiratori Ninzaburo is still Inspector Megure's subordinate for the time being, it's only temporary...
He came from a professional background, and within the Japanese police system, there's a world of difference in future prospects between professional and non-professional officers...
Shiratori Ninzaburo, a professional inspector, started his career as a junior inspector after joining the Metropolitan Police Department, and was automatically promoted to inspector after a year...
The rank of a police inspector is roughly equivalent to that of a captain in the Chinese police system...
If you still don't have a concept...
Okay, let's put it that way...
Inspector Megure, a non-professional, has only ever been a police inspector after all these years...
He worked on the front lines for many years, spending most of his life earning the rank of police inspector, a rank that Shiratori Ninzaburo could have easily obtained the following year...............................
Doesn't that seem very unfair?
However, this is what Shiratori Ninzaburo deserves.............................
The professional police officers are essentially high-ranking reserve officers within the Japanese police system, and the number of those who pass the exam each year is extremely small.
Inspector Megure, within the hierarchical system, is essentially at the bottom, someone who will spend their entire life working on the front lines; they are completely incomparable...................................
That's why, although Inspector Megure can now command Shiratori Ninzaburo, it's not because Inspector Megure is particularly powerful...
Instead, it was Shiratori Ninzaburo, the son of a wealthy family and a powerful conglomerate, who, despite his riches, maintained a constant sense of humility...
In other words, Shiratori Ninzaburo willingly allowed Inspector Megure to boss him around............................
Even if it's just being bossed around, it doesn't mean that this guy, who just joined as a reserve police inspector and will most likely become a police superintendent in the future, a reserve officer of the superintendent rank, is now doing chores like serving tea and water...
Even if Shiratori Ninzaburo really dared to do that, Inspector Megure wouldn't dare to order people around like that..................................
If people found out that Inspector Megure was having a professional guild serve him tea and water, not only would the Shiratori Group behind Ninzaburo Shiratori be outraged, but other high-ranking officials in the professional guilds would also be disgusted.
Japan has a strict hierarchical system, and Inspector Megure wouldn't dare to cross these unspoken rules...
In fact, Inspector Megure is just going to be watching Shiratori Ninzaburo for a while longer...
After a while, Shiratori Ninzaburo will automatically be promoted to inspector, at which point the two will be equals...................................
Of course, the rank may be promoted, but the actual position may not change....................................
The Metropolitan Police Department is a one-size-fits-all organization; although Shiratori Ninzaburo has been promoted, there's no suitable position available for him at the moment, so he definitely won't be transferred.
A position like Inspector Megure's, head of the Third Division of the First Investigation Division, may not seem high-ranking, but it carries considerable real power...................................
In particular, since the Third Department is primarily responsible for violent crimes, it needs a capable department head who can solve cases...................................
Well, although Inspector Megure's abilities are mediocre, doesn't he have a lot of underlings...?
From the perspective of the Metropolitan Police Department's upper echelons, Inspector Megure doesn't matter what, as long as he can solve cases.........................................
With Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato leading the way, Inspector Megure and Ninzaburo Shiratori also emerged and entered the conference room.
Inspector Megure looked around the meeting room, at the group of people chatting animatedly with smiles on their faces, and couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.
Please, you're elite officers drawn from various regions, currently handling a major case...
Is it really okay to be so carefree and laughing like this?.....................................
"Cough cough......................."
Inspector Megure coughed lightly twice, gave everyone a brief reminder, and then spoke.
"May we begin the meeting...?"
As soon as Inspector Megure spoke, everyone stopped laughing and joking, and returned to their seats one by one...................................
However, only one person was still tugging at the police officer next to him, muttering a few words under their breath....................................
"Hey, who are those two menacing-looking guys? Are they suspects we've already caught..................................."
Lin Jiayou's internal energy cultivation had reached an extremely profound level, and he had complete control over every movement of his surroundings. Therefore, he was naturally able to clearly hear what someone was saying...
He glanced over there, at the person who had said those words...
His appearance was quite unique; his mouth, resembling that of a kappa, made this police officer stand out from his colleagues like a chicken among cranes...
Furthermore, their behavior of not even bothering to return to their seats and instead arguing with another person...................................
Yeah, and to be able to say such stupid things................................
Among all these police officers, there's probably only one like that, and that's—
Gunma Prefectural Police Department, Yamamura Misao.................................
He was one of the few police officers who lacked real talent and skills, and was even slightly inferior to Inspector Megure...
However, thanks to Conan repeatedly putting him into his 'second personality' sleep mode, he solved several major cases and successfully rose to the rank of inspector based on his merits.................................
"Fool!"
A burly man with a crew cut standing next to him, upon hearing Shan Cuncao's words, shuddered and quickly pulled him back to his seat...
The two sat down, and only after the burly man with the crew cut was sure that they were far enough away from their two superiors that they couldn't hear him did he begin to mutter a curse under his breath about Yamamura Tsurugi.
"Those two are the superintendents of the First Investigation Division—Inspector Kiyonaga Matsumoto and Inspector Hyoe Kuroda!"
"Ah?!"
At this point, Yamamura Misao still did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
His first reaction was to gasp in surprise, and a bad word slipped out...
"Someone who looks like that can be a police inspector..............................."
"Waaaaah..."
He had barely finished speaking when the burly man with the crew cut covered his mouth tightly...
Seeing that he showed no remorse, the burly man scolded him in a low voice again.
"What do you know!"
"Only such a fierce face can deter criminals!"
"Moreover, the scars on their bodies are the illustrious medals they earned for protecting the people!"
"Mmm mmm............"
The small, thin mountain villager, nearly suffocated by the large man covering his mouth, dared not say another word and nodded repeatedly...
Seeing that Shan Cuncao was no longer courting death, the burly man with the flathead hair stopped covering his mouth...
The burly man's gaze towards Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Kuroda Hyōe revealed an undisguised mixture of envy and admiration.
His admiration for Matsumoto Kiyonaga was especially profound.
The Han people have always been staunch supporters of the official police force, believing that only the police can properly handle cases, and that detectives are all crooked and unorthodox...
Therefore, he held Inspector Megure, a police officer who solved cases through detective work, in utter contempt.
However, he showed the utmost respect for Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had bravely fought off the villains and saved the airship last time...
What he said to Yamamura Misao before was all from the bottom of his heart...............................
