Conan: Another Famous Detective

Director Bai Mao didn't wait long before the call was connected.

"Hello, this is the office of the Chairman of the Public Security Committee." A male voice with a formulaic tone sounded.

"Is this Secretary Takamura? I'm Hakuba," Director Hakuba said.

"Oh? It turns out to be Director Hakuba. What can I do?" asked the man known as Secretary Takamura.

"Excuse me, is Chairman Tanita available now? I hope to have a phone call with him." Director Baima asked.

"Wait a moment, let me ask for instructions." Secretary Gao Cun replied.

"Excuse me." Director Baima replied.

He kept the call going and waited patiently.

The person he wanted to call was Junichi Tanita, chairman of the National Public Security Commission.

The Public Security Commission oversees police affairs across the country. Both the National Police Agency, where Tohru Amuro is affiliated, and the Metropolitan Police Agency, where Director Hakuba is located, are under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Commission.

If Director Hakuba is the number one [police officer] in Japan, then the Chairman of the Public Security Committee is the number one person in Japan's entire police system.

In other words, Junichi Tanita is Director Hakuba's immediate boss, so Director Hakuba naturally has to be patient.

About ten minutes later, a voice came from the phone again: "Baima, what do you want from me?"

Director Hakuba immediately recognized the other party's voice. It was Junichi Tanida, the head of the Public Security Committee!

He immediately straightened his body and said solemnly: "Chairman, I am very sorry for interrupting you, but there are some things I need to report to you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Junichi Tanita asked.

"That's it..." Director Baima began to narrate.

Gao Shiliang finished a meeting in the morning and was enjoying the lunch arranged by his secretary.

As a member of Congress and one of the representatives of his faction, he rarely has his own time. Even for lunch, the start and end time must be at least accurate to the minute.

After lunch, he could only take a nap for less than an hour before he had to rush to attend a lecture again.

Just as he was about to fork a piece of foie gras and prepare to put it into his mouth, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

His brows suddenly furrowed. He really hated others disturbing him while he was eating.

He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.

The next moment, his face darkened slightly, and then he glanced at the secretary waiting for instructions.

The secretary had followed Gao Shiping for many years, and he immediately understood what he meant. Then he claimed that he had "forgot to pick up a document that he would use later and needed to go back to get it", then he apologized and left.

Gao Shi Pingcang nodded lightly. He had always been very satisfied with this secretary.

After confirming that the secretary had left, he pressed the answer button and said in a slightly impatient tone: "Hey! What do you want from me?"

From the opposite side, an old but not weak voice came: "Haha, I'm sorry to disturb your lunch, but if I don't call you at this time, I may not be able to contact you until the evening. "

Takaichi Pingcang snorted: "Since you know that my time is precious, let's stop talking nonsense."

"Have you contacted the police?" As expected, they stopped being polite and went straight to the topic.

"It's natural. I called Baima directly. He claimed that he didn't know anything and would report back to me after verifying the situation. He still hasn't replied. I think you should know what this means."

"So, you should continue to put pressure on him and let him give a clear answer." The old voice said lightly.

"Impossible!" Takaichi Hirakura refused without hesitation: "You should know very well that although the police system under the control of the Public Security Commission is nominally a subordinate agency of the cabinet, it is actually directly under the responsibility of the Prime Minister."

"If it's just a small matter, maybe the Metropolitan Police Department will give me some face, but if I have to personally negotiate with the Police Director, I'm afraid Endo will cause a lot of trouble, right?"

"I really have to keep up the pressure. When the time comes, Baima will report it directly to me, which will cause me a lot of trouble!"

"So, are you more willing to bear my anger?" The tone of the old voice was slightly cold.

"You!" The high market position suddenly stalled.

The old voice spoke coldly: "In order to climb to where you are now, you know how many dirty things you have secretly done with the help of our manpower and material resources!"

"There are quite a few people in your faction who are supported by our consortium, and there are also people among them who covet your position. I think they won't mind accepting further help from us to climb to a higher position."

Hearing this, Gaoichi Pingcang's face was full of anger, he gritted his teeth and finally held back the hometown slang that was about to blurt out.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, his reason told him that what the other party said was indeed the truth.

He took a deep breath and replied stiffly: "Okay, I will contact Baima again, but you have to understand that with my status, there are some things that I really can't do."

"Then my demands are not high." The tone of the old voice softened slightly: "Is it okay to try to bail Endo out?"

Takaichi Hirakura pondered for two seconds and replied: "Then you have to tell me what case Endo is involved in."

"Okay." The old voice replied calmly.

After a while.

"What? Even armed helicopters were dispatched! Are you crazy!?" Takaichi Hirakura exclaimed.

"The matter is not as serious as you think." The old voice returned calmly: "Endo has always been cautious in doing things and did not leave too much evidence. It does not mean that there is no room for bail."

Gao Shi Pingcang's face became even more ugly: "That's nice to say! Even if the evidence is temporarily insufficient for a suspect in such a major case, it will definitely be difficult for him to get bail!"

"As a member of the House of Representatives, I believe you will find a way. I am waiting for your good news!"

"Wait! You..." Before Gao Shi closed his position, there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone.

The other party has hung up the phone.

"asshole!"

Takaichi Pingcang slammed his cell phone on the table, his expression gloomy and almost dripping with water.

It is a great shame that he, a dignified member of Congress, was threatened like this!

Naturally, he was filled with anger.

At this time, his secretary came in and looked at him cautiously: "Member Gao, what happened? I seemed to have heard the sound of something colliding just now..."

Gao Shi Pingcang waved his hands impatiently: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The secretary immediately shrank his neck and shut up immediately.

Takaichi Pingcang pointed to the unfinished lunch in front of him: "Let someone remove these."

After answering the phone call just now, he really had no appetite.

The secretary agreed and quickly arranged for people to remove the leftover lunches.

After everything was cleaned up, Takaichi returned to the lounge, intending to take a rest and adjust his mood.

However, as soon as he lay down on the bed, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
