Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

In the real world, Japan has the lowest homicide rate per 10 people in the world, 1440485057 (note to join the group^), making it a paradise of public security.

However, its suicide rate ranks 14th in the world, far higher than other developed countries.

There are less than 150 forensic pathologists in Japan.

Due to extremely limited manpower, the autopsy rate of abnormal corpses by Japanese forensic doctors is only 11.2%, and the on-site rate is only 27.6%.

In other words, in Japan, if you kill someone and then disguise the scene as suicide or an accident:

Then there is a 9% probability that you will not encounter a forensic autopsy at all.

There is a 7% chance that the forensic pathologist won’t even take a look.

Then, considering Japan's lowest homicide rate in the world and the 14th highest suicide rate...

When you think about these two very different rankings together, you get a really scary feeling:

Why are there so few homicides and so high suicide rates?

How many of these people who commit suicide actually commit suicide?

Is the Metropolitan Police Department really as conscientious, scientifically advanced, and sharp-eyed as portrayed in Japanese dramas?

With these terrifying speculations, perhaps we can better understand why Japan has tens of thousands of private detective agencies, hundreds of thousands of related practitioners, and a rich detective culture.

Sometimes the Metropolitan Police Department is really useless.

Thinking about it this way, Detective Conan doesn't completely blacken the Japanese police, it's not just for the sake of blackening them.

A daughter is a debt owed by her father in his previous life

"Anyway... even if there really are wrongful convictions, we don't have the energy to investigate them all right now. We'd be lucky if we could just resolve the remaining unsolved cases."

Bai Quanyi's tone was somewhat dejected:

There are so many unsolved cases waiting for him, how can he have the energy to investigate any wrong cases?

"Indeed." Rena Mizuno nodded deeply.

She was not disappointed by Baiquanyi's dejected remarks, but instead changed her opinion of this famous administrator:

Maybe he wasn't a good boyfriend.

But he's a good policeman.

Otherwise, who would go through the trouble of bringing up old issues?

The Metropolitan Police Department has already hung its ass out to dry, so much so that no one remembers it except the victims' families. Why should he help clean it up?

This is not for the credit, for the fame.

But really want to do things.

But there are still too many messes left over from the past.

"Too many, eh."

Mizuno Rena sighed deeply.

Unconsciously, she found herself in the same trench with Bai Quanyi, and her eyes became gentle when she looked at Bai Quanyi. Although he was a bit of a scumbag, this boyfriend was not a bad guy.

This also made her feel a little bit of despair:

"With so many old and unsolved cases, can you really investigate them all with the manpower in your Investigation Division?"

"Well..." Bai Quanyi was somewhat helpless: "This news media's Spring and Autumn style of writing, I don't think I need to teach you, right?"

"Let's pick a case and hold a proper task force discussion meeting."

"If we film these scenes and use them as material for publicity, while also hiding the number of old cases the Metropolitan Police Department has accumulated, and let everyone know that our Forensic Investigation Division is diligently investigating these cases, wouldn't that be enough?"

Although it is far from enough to "repay the debt", it is indeed enough in terms of publicity effect.

"And if we're lucky enough to successfully solve an old case during the filming of the show."

"Then the promotional effect of this program will be stronger, more eye-catching, and more meaningful."

By selectively reporting part of the truth, the image of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Forensic Investigation Division can be made to shine.

This is the only way to attract more talents to join.

Only if there are more talented people in the forensic department in the future will there be hope of cleaning up the mess left behind by the Metropolitan Police Department in the past.

"I understand."

Mizunashi Rena nodded in agreement.

She knew that Bai Quanyi was not trying to falsify information to gain fame, but wanted to change the current situation from the bottom of his heart.

He is indeed doing a great work.

Although it will be difficult to produce results now and even for a long time in the future.

"Mr. Bai, I will do my best to help you with this show."

"Let's go——"

Mizuno Rena's azure eyes were filled with a determined light:

“Let us finish this great work.”

"Hmm..." Bai Quanyi nodded.

There was something slightly strange in the way he looked at the female anchor.

Mizunashi Reina slowly adjusted her emotions and finally regained her businesslike composure.

"Let's go, it's work time now."

"Mr. Bai, you are doing a great job. I hope you can focus more."

When Rena Mizunashi first entered the office, she instinctively wondered whether this secretary and Shiraizumi Mashi had a relationship beyond friendship.

"This is... Miss Mizunashi Reina?"

"Mr. Bai, you brought her here to report on the old case investigation project we just launched, right?"

Ryougi Shiki's voice was not loud, but it was very powerful.

Most of the old cases have been turned into confusing cases with no clues left, which was something she had expected.

Fortunately, this Ryougi Shiki is serious and responsible enough.

Still, from among a pile of garbage files, I was able to sort out this large box of old cases that still have hope of being solved.

"If I can break one, I'll break one."

"Do your best."

Mizuno Rena couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm..." Bai Quanyi sighed helplessly: "Then let's start now, Liangyi."

"First, pick a case as the starting point of this project."

"Okay." Ryougi Shiki nodded, but then asked, "Which case should I choose?"

"whatever."

Baiquanyi thought about it and simply pushed the box in front of Mizunashi Rena:

"Miss Mizuno, you are a guest."

"You'll be the one to draw this first case."

"Hmm..." Looking at the lottery "game" in front of her that looked like a lottery box, Rena Mizunashi's expression was very subtle.

But there is no way...

Each file corresponds to a victim's family.

The forensic science department is simply unable to solve so many cases at the same time, and some victims may not be able to get their innocence redressed even after 10 years.

If you want fairness, you can rely on a lottery.

"Then I'll smoke it."

Mizunashi Rena stretched out her hand with a complicated expression.

She solemnly picked out a file at random:

"In 92, the case of the unidentified male corpse in the abandoned warehouse on XXX Street in Beika Town."

After pulling out the file, Rena Mizunashi's expression changed.

Because what she pulled out was...

"dad?!"

Looking at the familiar time and location of the crime marked on the cover of the file, she knew without even opening the file:

Contained inside is the death record of her father, Ethan Bentang.

Ethan Hondou, Rena Mizunashi's father, is a Japanese-American and a CIA agent with 30 years of work experience. He successfully infiltrated the Black Organization as an undercover agent.

Four years ago, Rena Mizunoshi, who followed in her father's footsteps and became a CIA agent, was ordered by her superiors to infiltrate the Black Organization under the pseudonym "Rena Mizunoshi" and serve as a liaison for her father who had successfully gone undercover in the organization.

However, during a meeting to exchange intelligence, because Rena Mizunashi was young and inexperienced, she did not notice that there was a transmitter hidden on her clothes that the organization used to monitor new members, which exposed the secret meeting between the two.

Then Gin came over in his Porsche.

In order to save his daughter's life, Ethan Bentang decisively injected his daughter with truth serum, bit off his wrist and shot himself. He used the recorder he had recorded beforehand to interrogate his daughter but did not record her voice, so that the members of the organization mistakenly believed that:

"After discovering Ethan's suspicious points, Rena Mizunashi brought him out for interrogation, but was instead controlled by him. Even after being injected with truth serum, she remained steadfast and refused to reveal any information. She bit off Ethan's wrist, snatched his pistol, and killed him."

That's how she was able to survive Gin's butcher knife, gain the trust of the organization, and even be appreciated by the boss, and continue to lurk as the organization's cadre Kiel until now.

"dad……"

Rena Mizunashi will never forget that it was her father's sacrifice that allowed her to survive until now.

But this memory had been deeply buried in her long life of hiding.

But at this moment, memories of the past quietly came to my mind.

In an unexpected way.

"Miss Mizuno, Miss Mizuno?"

Shiraizumi Masaru and Ryougi Shiki both looked over with concern.

"what happened to you?"

"Is there anything wrong with this dossier?"

“No, no…” Rena Mizunashi suddenly came back to her senses.

The sudden shock she received almost made her lose control.

This is a big taboo for an undercover agent.
