Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

"I'm so sorry, Inspector Megure!"

In the end, the four of them apologized to Megure Juzo very sincerely. Even someone as stubborn as Matsuda Jinpei sincerely apologized to the senior who was implicated by him.

Megure Juzo sat in his office chair, looking at the four young men in front of him with sincere attitudes, and sighed deeply.

"Ugh."

Everyone's heart tightened.

Inspector Megure...are you still angry?

"Do you know why I'm angry?"

"Because we are investigating Hasegawa Jin's case?" Takagi Wataru answered carefully.

Megure Jusan sighed again and placed the letter of complaint on the table.

"Do you know where this letter was sent?"

The four shook their heads.

"I sent it directly to the director, who was very angry. In the end, it was only after Section Chief Matsumoto and Manager Kuroda jointly guaranteed that the letter of complaint was returned."

Everyone looked at each other.

Jinpei Matsuda gritted his teeth.

This is to imitate the last move and stop them from continuing the investigation——

Shiratori Renzaburo hurriedly explained: "Inspector Megure, we have actually found relevant evidence to prove that Mr. Hase Jin was murdered. We——"

"I know."

Megure Jusan stopped him from talking.

"I'm angry, but not with you guys, I'm angry with myself," Megure Jusan said calmly. "Compared to the fearlessness of the past, I really don't have that much blood in me now."

So I learned to turn a blind eye, to be moderate, and to seek benefits and avoid harm.

When I saw Hasegawa Jin's case, the first thing that came to my mind was that I would get into trouble, offend my superiors, and be in a thankless position...

——It turned out that he had already been left far behind by the young people.

Whether it is the pursuit of truth or the adherence to justice.

They are no match for these young people in front of me...

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak.

Megure Juzo just silently opened the folder in his hand, signed his name on the application submitted by Takagi Shigeru, and moved the marking time forward to a few days ago.

——In this way, their investigation work was approved by Jusan Megure, and all procedures were in compliance with the rules and regulations. Even if there were any other problems, Jusan Megure would be responsible.

He placed the document on the table and pushed it in front of everyone. "Go do what you want. The Metropolitan Police Department is no longer the same as it used to be. It's time to show them that we, the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department, are not really fools. The future will be led by you, the young blood."

Jinpei Matsuda raised his head and looked at the document pushed in front of him. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Inspector Megure is truly a very good police officer.

"Thank you, Inspector Megure." Matsuda Jinpei thanked him sincerely.

Megure Jusan just waved his hand: "Section Chief Matsumoto also has high hopes for you. He has already informed the detention center in advance. Keep up the good work!"

Everyone was quite touched. After saluting Megure Juzo solemnly, they turned and left.

Matsuda Jinpei was walking at the end. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and apologized to Megure Jusan again: "I'm sorry, Inspector Megure, it was my idea to let Takagi secretly release the report."

Megure Jusan was both angry and amused: "Do you even need to tell me that? I don't need to guess, I know it was you who did it! You little brat, you only know how to bully an honest man like Takagi, right?"

Jinpei Matsuda scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"You don't have to apologize to me. After all, if you had told me this in advance, I might have really stopped you." Megure Jusan said frankly, "After all, that's the Hase family. You are really too brave."

Matsuda Jinpei: "I promise there won't be a next time!"

"Of course—" Megure Jusan glared at him and said, "Next time, tell me in advance so I can be mentally prepared."

"Okay, Megure Police Department!"

When Jinpei Matsuda came out, the others were still waiting for him.

"What's wrong, Matsuda?"

Miwako Sato asked.

"It's okay." Matsuda Jinping spread his hands, "Exchange some feelings with Inspector Megure."

"So what should we say now?" Takagi Wataru scratched his head. "Mr. Hase Jin was indeed murdered, but the case has been closed as a suicide. If we want to overturn the verdict, we must provide new clues. However, the all-important autopsy report from that year is suspected to be a fraud. I'm afraid the clues we have now will make it difficult to successfully submit a report to our superiors."

This is indeed a bit troublesome...

Matsuda Jinpei: "That's simple. We'll go find whoever did the autopsy report. Inspector Megure has given us the authority now, so we don't need to be timid. We can just arrest the person and ask him questions."

Shiratori Renzaburo agreed: "That makes sense."

Sato Miwako looked around and said, "Shall we go to the prison first?"

"Well, let's go."

-

"Om - hum -"

The phone on the table rang. Kenji Hagiwara picked it up, took a look at it, and then answered the call with some surprise.

"Xiao Lin? Why are you calling me at this time?"

"Hello? Hagiwara, please be careful recently."

In the Prosecutor's Office, prosecutor Shunsuke Kobayashi squatted under the table, looking around cautiously.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Hagiwara Kenji immediately became serious.

"The Special Investigation Department suddenly came to our office for a surprise inspection. When asked what they were looking for, they wouldn't tell me and just kept checking the permission records. I guess they're coming for me," Kobayashi Shunsuke said in a low voice. "The one leading them is that prosecutor from the Nishizaki family, Nishizaki Shōaki. He's probably realized what was going on and wants to target you. He might have already set his sights on you and Matsuda. Be careful."

"Are you okay?" Hagiwara Kenji became worried. "Will they find you?"

"Most likely." Kobayashi Shunsuke sighed helplessly, "Judging from their attitude, they won't leave until they find out what's going on."

Although using one's authority to conduct a certain degree of cross-border investigation is not uncommon in the entire system of the Prosecutor's Office and the Metropolitan Police Department, if you really look into it, there is indeed a possibility of violation of regulations.

It depends on whether the investigators want to pursue the matter.

And it is obvious that Xi Qi Zhou is determined to get to the bottom of this.

This is a bit troublesome.

"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble." Hagiwara Kenji expressed deep guilt.

"Hey, it's not a big deal—" Kobayashi Shunsuke was not afraid. "No matter how much he investigates, it's just a fine. It's impossible for me to be fired. No matter how much he makes a fuss, the boss won't do anything to me. You don't have to worry."

Anyway, he is not short of money, so just deduct it.

"I'm afraid he'll play dirty tricks on you next time."

Kobayashi Shunsuke poked his head out again, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one else. Then he lowered his voice and whispered, "I once heard a senior tell me some gossip about Nishizaki Zhouming. It is said that a long time ago, in the Special Investigation Department, he had always been the second in command. If the number one guy had not died unexpectedly, he would not have been promoted to his current position, and he might even have been expected to become the future director..."

"And it is said that the last person the first one saw before his death was Nishizaki Zhouming."
