Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 222 The Last Chance
Because of the social impact of this case, the National Police Agency directly convened a special meeting.

Iwata also immediately inquired about the attitude towards Shiraishi at the meeting - he would be awarded the "Superintendent General's Award" and the "National Police Agency Commissioner's Award", two major honors for police officers.

After all, Shiraishi is now a senior superintendent, and he has only been officially promoted for more than a month. It is impossible for him to be promoted. Transferring him back to the Metropolitan Police Department, or transferring him to the National Police Agency... is even more impossible!
What position would a superintendent be assigned to when he is transferred back to the headquarters or the National Police Agency? In the headquarters, he would be the director of a small department, a counselor of a large department, the head of a main department, or the chief inspector... In the National Police Agency, he would be a director, a director, an investigator, or something like that.

Now that Shiraishi is the chief of a large police station, he can still pick out so many things. If he were to be the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department or the National Police Agency... wouldn't he be able to lift up the earth?

If Shiraishi really goes there, not only Director Hakuba, but also the Chief of Police and the Chairman of the Public Security Commission will suffer from sleepless nights for a few days... worried that he will cause even bigger trouble!
In contrast, awarding some honors and then making a big fuss about it is already the result of suppression...

"This time, in addition to the Metropolitan Commissioner's Award, there is also the National Police Agency Commissioner's Award! That's great. Let's celebrate when the official awards ceremony is held!" Ayako said happily on behalf of Shiraishi.

"The Chinese New Year is just a few days away... I guess the awards will be given out during the 'store anniversary' event next year," Shiraishi speculated.

The so-called "store anniversary" naturally refers to the anniversary of the establishment of the Metropolitan Police Department - January 15th... Every year at this time, the Metropolitan Police Department will have some activities, and the Commissioner of Police will most likely come.

Therefore, Bai Shi estimated that there would not be a special ceremony for himself, and it would probably just be a part of the anniversary activities.

Although Shiraishi didn't think that this was worth celebrating, but... Shiraishi knew that Ayako wanted him to be happier, so he naturally wouldn't spoil the fun.

However, Shiraishi really didn't take these two awards seriously...

If given a choice, Shiraishi is willing to share these two awards with other police officers in the station!

The winners with the best value for money with this thing should be the police officers in the "non-professional group" - according to the explicit regulations, the upper limit of the "non-professional group" is "Superintendent of Police", but in reality only the most outstanding few among them can become "Substitute Inspector of Police", and only those with good luck can become "Inspector of Police".

For example, Chief Sano of Toriya Police Station and Deputy Chief Murasakibara of Beika Police Station are both "oddities". Both of them have won the "Superintendent General's Award".

Although many police captains and even lower-level police officers have won this award, winning it does not guarantee promotion, but it at least increases the chances.

And for the “professional group”, especially for senior police officers, it actually has no practical effect!
If nothing else...

When Shiraishi was in the "Pair", he won the "Superintendent General's Award" twice for his contribution in combating violent organized crime. But now he has been exiled to the Beika Police Station, hasn't he?
For Shiraishi, the biggest benefit of this award is that it gives him some points...

"This is my third time winning the Superintendent General Award, which should give me 1000 achievement points. This is my first time winning the National Police Agency Commissioner Award, so maybe I'll get 5000 points..." Shiraishi thought to himself.

The first time you win the Superintendent of Police Award, you will receive a 3000-point reward, but the second time you win, you will only receive 1000 points - the reward points will be higher for the first time you win the award.

The National Police Agency Commissioner Award is theoretically a higher level award, but...

Shiraishi's evaluation of the two of them is: together, they are not as good as Ten Minutes of the Witch.

"But I won the bet this time, so you can't break the bet!" Ayako said playfully.

Although this style is not usually the case, because Shiraishi is in a bad mood today, Ayako is a little playful.

"Of course, what can I do for you?" Shiraishi also cheered himself up so as not to make Ayako worry.

"That's something I'll have to think about... I'll tell you after the official award ceremony." Ayako looked like she was thinking of something "big".

……

In a blink of an eye, a "relatively peaceful" weekend has passed in Beika Town
Although a person died, and it was murder, but...

Because Shinichi and Xiaolan happened to pass by, the case was solved directly during the on-site investigation stage, which was a great achievement for the Beika Police Department!

Bai Shi was quite satisfied with this, after all...

You know, this week’s Saturday and Sunday are not only the weekend, but also “Christmas Eve” and “Christmas”!
On such a special day, only one person died in Beika Town and the suspect was caught on the spot. It can be considered a "peaceful and harmonious Christmas Eve."

Shiraishi was also unusually calm and did not go to the police station to instruct everyone in arrest training on weekends, which made the police officers in the Beika Police Station quite peaceful.

Unfortunately, this peace could not last...

Early Monday morning, when Shiraishi held a morning meeting with everyone in the Beihua Police Department, he discovered that a few people were missing from the Criminal Investigation Division.

Although Bai Shi did not ask immediately, he already had some guesses in his mind.

After the morning meeting, Shiraishi directly called Section Chief Kunikida over.

"Yes, there was a murder case..." Kunikida nodded.

Shiraishi:……

Are you getting more and more used to it? You never thought that being a section chief in a local police station would involve more homicides than being a search officer!

"But we're still not sure if it was homicide. Someone called the police this morning and found a body at the foot of the steps at Tsutsumi Mukaigawa Green Park... We don't know if he fell by accident or was pushed down. We're currently investigating the scene," Kunikida added.

The steps leading to Jinchuan Green Park?
"The steps in the park...if they don't work, just fix them!" Shiraishi remembered that in mid-October, a fraudster fell to his death there. Kunikida smiled awkwardly when he heard this - he also knew that Chief Shiraishi was just complaining, and this matter was not under the jurisdiction of the police station, you have to talk to the town council and the town government!

"We weren't sure whether it was an accident or homicide, so several people went to the meeting... Ah, you don't like morning meetings, right?" Shiraishi muttered at this time.

Kunikida heard this but did not explain for them - Kunikida also thought so!
Just then, there was a knock on the door...

"Come in." Shiraishi recognized it as Section Chief Marubi.

"Director, Inspector Kunikida, we just received news... We need to set up an investigation headquarters for the murder case in Green Park." After coming in, Marubi hurriedly said to the two of them.

This matter is also related to criminal law classes, so there is no need to avoid it.

"What? Setting up an investigation headquarters right now? Which administrator gave the order?" Shiraishi frowned immediately.

Shiraishi had previously taken the initiative to say that the brothers of Souichi did not need to be too anxious about the case in Beika Town, as the police station could solve it on its own.

Generally speaking, everyone is willing to give face and will not argue with the Mihua Bureau even if they are present.

Besides, the ability of the Beihua Police Department is obvious to all. The efficiency of solving this murder case is higher than that of the general "Search One" violent criminal department. If we compare KPIs, it is a standout...

And even if we don't consider Shiraishi's face and follow the normal process, we shouldn't set up the "Investigation Headquarters" immediately!
"It's Inspector Matsumoto..." Maruwei said embarrassedly.

"Inspector Matsumoto?" Shiraishi was puzzled when he heard this - Inspector Matsumoto had a good relationship with him and should not embarrass him on purpose.

"Director, we are now..." Just as Yuanwei was about to ask for instructions, Shiraishi heard a familiar sound of footsteps.

Shiraishi raised his hand to stop Marubi and interrupted, "Superintendent Matsumoto has come in person."

Sure enough, after a few steps, Inspector Matsumoto walked into the director's office - since the door was not closed, he did not knock.

Although he still had a stern face as usual, Bai Shi, who was familiar with him, could still tell that he was anxious.

It seems that this case is really unusual?
"Inspector Matsumoto."

"Administrator Matsumoto."

Maruo and Kunikida both offered their greetings.

Matsumoto was indeed very anxious now. He just nodded at them, then looked at Shiraishi and said, "Officer Shiraishi, we only have this one chance."

"Opportunity?" Bai Shi was stunned when he heard this.

"Well, it's a chance to personally end the resentment from five years ago." Matsumoto said vaguely.

"Five years ago..." Bai Shi realized something when he heard the time.

After all, five years ago, Shiraishi was already in the "group", and the cases he had cooperated with Matsumoto, the manager of "Soichi", were few and far between.

"Don't tell me you forgot...you lived in the Beika Forest for a month!" Matsumoto reminded.

Hearing this, Bai Shi couldn't help but stand up - after living in the rice flower forest for a month...

That’s right, it was that case that made Shiraishi very familiar with the terrain of the “Rice Flower Forest”!
An investigation headquarters was also set up that time, and because the first suspect was the leader of a violent organization in Kamurocho, the "team" also sent a group of detectives to support them, led by Shiraishi, who was the director (an informal position) at the time.

However, in the end, the investigation headquarters was disbanded without solving the case, because...

The body of the victim was never found, and no homicide case could be filed. As a result, Manager Matsumoto, who took the lead in setting up the investigation headquarters, was punished. Otherwise, Ninomiya would not be the "director" now.

The detectives who were involved in the investigation of the case at the time, including Shiraishi and Matsumoto, all believed that the body was dumped in the Beika Forest. However, neither the police dog unit nor Shiraishi himself could find it!
……

"Nihube Gang...that guy finally got into trouble again?" Shiraishi asked expectantly.

Matsumoto shook his head and said, "No, he's dead."

Shiraishi:……

Only then did Shiraishi realize that the person who died was the suspect from that year.

"That's why I said this is the last chance. Whether the case of Manshima Sakura can be solved depends on this time." Matsumoto sighed.

Matsumoto then added: "Because we can't confirm that it was a homicide, the so-called search headquarters is actually just a process for me to intervene.

"Bai Shi, let's go together and end... the grudge that we were unable to resolve back then!"
