Kazuma finally managed his first press conference, returned to his office, and slumped down in his chair.

"Thank you for your hard work, the police department will help." His secretary Xiaoxia hurried over to pour him tea.

Kazuma asked as he took off his uniform: "Do you have to face this kind of formation every day?"

"Absolutely." It was Inspector Sato who answered the right question, "This is still when there are no major cases. When they smell the news, it will be even more difficult."

Kazuma: "Can it be twice as difficult?"

"Yes, when there is an important case, these reporters will go crazy with the establishment of the investigation headquarters." Inspector Sato thought for a while and used a more game-like word.

At this time, Xiaoxia asked Kazuma: "How will the police department prepare for lunch?"

Kazuma looked at the ceiling and asked, "How do people generally solve the lunch problem?"

"Usually I go out to eat." Xiaoxia replied, "There are many good shops nearby."

Kazuma was shocked: "What do you mean? There is no canteen in the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Xiaoxia laughed out loud: "The Metropolitan Police Department has never had a canteen. Where did you hear that the Metropolitan Police Department has a canteen?"

Kazuma touched his hair. He took it for granted that a government agency like the Metropolitan Police Department should have a canteen or something like that.

Xiaoxia continued: "If you are busy and don't have time to go out to eat, you can go to the canteen on the first floor to buy some bread or something to deal with it. The canteen is famous for its two-bread bread sandwiched with cheese."

"What the hell?" Kazuma thought he heard wrong for a moment, "Two pieces of bread with cheese?"

"Yes, it's famous because the combination of cheese and bread creates an excellent texture." Ms. Xiaoxia introduced it enthusiastically.

Kazuma scratched his head, then suddenly thought of a key question, and asked: "Well, since the Metropolitan Police Department does not have a canteen, where does the pork chop rice when interrogating prisoners come from?"

"I just buy it from outside," Inspector Sato explained, "I usually order takeout from a nearby restaurant."

It was actually takeout!

Kazuma marveled as he hung up his police uniform and put on his windbreaker again. He didn't want to go out to dinner and wear a police uniform.

After putting on his windbreaker, Kazuma put the police manual into the pocket of his windbreaker.

At this time, he noticed that Inspector Sato was looking at his gun, and he said: "This is the gun license that was issued to me personally by the then Toyokuni Police Superintendent after an incident a few years ago."

"Oh, that's right." Inspector Sato nodded, "So the police department believes that you are from the Toyokuni faction?"

Kazuma smiled bitterly: "I don't know. I just entered the Metropolitan Police Department and didn't know anything, so I was kicked out of the broadcasting class. No one contacted me to exchange passwords or anything. By the way, if I want Ask me why I was assigned here and which department should I go to?"

Inspector Sato and Inspector Konatsu looked at each other, and then replied: "Personnel power is in the hands of the Police Department. Inspector Hato is only responsible for implementation. The one who really plays the decisive role is Police Minister Usami. Do you have If you have any questions, you can go to him and ask."

Kazuma asked decisively: "Which floor is the police department on?"

"Downstairs." Xiao Xia inspected and pointed downstairs, "But the police department generally does not explain personnel arrangements."

Kazuma replied: "Then you have to ask and find out."

After saying that, he strode towards the door of the office. As he was leaving, he said, "I will go directly to dinner. See you in the afternoon."

The two people in the room responded in unison: "See you in the afternoon."

Then Kazuma walked out the door.

Only Inspector Sato and Konatsu were left in the room. Konatsu asked Sato: "What do you think of the Kiryu Police Department?"

Sato shrugged: "He must have been kicked out as a problem. The Criminal Department is now dominated by the anti-Toyokuni faction, while the Police Department is mainly dominated by the Toyokuni faction."

"Then shouldn't he go to the police department?" Xiao Xia asked in confusion.

"I don't know. Maybe the Fengguo faction doesn't regard him as one of their own? Then he was kicked to the Publicity Department. The Publicity Department is a department where people can stay until they are old."

The public relations officer of the Metropolitan Police Department only stipulates the minimum police rank, and there is no upper limit. It is possible to work all the way up to the police station.

The entire Broadcasting Department's only job is to deal with reporters and find ways to frustrate them.

The key point is that as a public relations officer, many times he has no decision-making power even in what news to release. When a major case really occurs, reporters will ask powerful bureaucrats such as the Chief of the Investigation Section or the Minister of Criminal Affairs to come forward, and they will not bother the public relations officer at all.

Inspector Konatsu looked worried: "Do you think the Kiryu Police Department will hang itself in the position of publicity officer for the rest of its life?"

Sato curled his lips: "Even if that is the case, it's not your turn to worry. His annual salary is eight million. If he becomes a full-time police officer, including various subsidies, it will go up to ten million a year."

Inspector Xiao Xia pursed her lips: "It seems so..."

**

On Kazuma's side, he came to the next floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw the words "Police Department" written on the corridor and the cherry blossom emblem of the Metropolitan Police Department.

He got out of the elevator and looked along the corridor. He immediately saw the office of the Minister of Police, so he strode over and knocked on the door.

At this time, two guys in suits and ties who happened to come out of the nearby office saw Kazuma and said, "Are you looking for the minister?"

"Yes." Kazuma looked at the two men curiously. He couldn't tell their police ranks just by looking at their appearance, so he had to nod.

At this time, a sound came from the minister's room: "Come in."

Kazuma immediately opened the door and went in, regardless of the two people he met.

The head of the police department also wore a suit, and Kazuma suspected that he was deliberately different from those in the criminal department who liked to wear windbreakers.

As soon as he saw Kazuma, the police chief smiled and said, "I knew you had to come to me, Kiryu-kun."

Kazuma thought that if you knew, it would be easy to handle, so he asked straight to the point: "Why was I assigned to the Broadcasting Department? Theoretically, I should go to the Criminal Department to better utilize my strengths."

Usami Police Chief smiled and said: "That's true at first glance, but we value your connections in the press more. You are a famous musician, and you have scandals with so many female singers. You are standing there. What a magnet to attract reporters’ attention.

"I think you will be able to make full use of your talents in the Publicity Department. It just so happens that the Noto police officer in the Publicity Department is ill and there is a shortage of someone in charge, so we sent you there."

With these words, Kazuma actually didn't find any flaws for a while.

Usami continued: "Of course, we have to admit that you are talented and have achievements in detective work, but compared to your ability to make news, your detective skills are not that important to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Just work hard in the publicity department. When the answer comes, it will be your turn to perform."

Kazuma frowned and wanted to fight for it, so he said: "Well, after all, I am also an expert in swordsmanship, and I have a gun. I should be in the detection position..."

"You said that, do you want to go to the Mobile Team?" Police Chief Usami interrupted Kazuma, "If you really think so, I can also arrange it."

Kazuma pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The mobile team is further away from the front line of investigating the case. The main task of the mobile team of the Japan Metropolitan Police is to deal with "mass incidents." For example, if Tokyo University students occupy Yasuda Lecture Hall again, it will be the mobile team's turn to take action.

"No, I will work hard in the Publicity Department." Kazuma said and was about to turn around and leave - he had not sat down since he entered the office of the Minister of Police, and the Minister of Police Usami did not ask him to sit down.

At this time, Usami called to Kazuma: "Oh, by the way, Kiryu-kun, we hope that you can be responsible for the image project of the Metropolitan Police Department. You know that the police station below us has always done some projects to invite celebrities to come and serve as one-day police officers. A long-term event, right? I want to rely on your connections in the entertainment industry to create an upgraded version and write a theme song that can be widely sung!"

Kazuma frowned: "Well... I didn't really have an affair with those female celebrities."

"But many female singers are willing to sing your songs, right?" Usami spread his hands, "In addition, we can participate in some film and television dramas and so on, and we need to make use of your connections in the entertainment industry. See what happens. Come up with a plan and submit it to me within this week.”

Kazuma had a crying face and responded: "Okay, I'll give it a try. Then, I'll leave first."

"Hmm. Are you going to eat? I recommend Yuyinjian on the left hand side when you go out. The food is very delicious and the price is cheap."

"Got it." Kazuma responded as he left the office and walked towards the elevator.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone in another office discussing himself.

"The Kiryu Police Department has indeed come to find you."

"Yes, anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the Publicity Department is a bastard department. How can someone who aspires to have a career in the Metropolitan Police be willing to waste time in the Publicity Department."

"It's a pity that the Criminal Department is currently unable to deal with Toyokuni Police Inspector, so it's impossible to hire him. Unless Toyokuni becomes the Police Superintendent in the future, Kiryu will probably never be able to join the Criminal Department in his lifetime."

Kazuma frowned, there was such a thing.

So he was sent to the AOE due to the internal struggle within the Metropolitan Police Department?

Where is the reasoning here?

He walked towards the elevator with a crying face, and then found several people waiting at the elevator door.

Someone was whispering: "Is he that Kiryu?"

"Yes, the poor guy who was assigned to the Publicity Department is obviously a graduate of Dongda University who can make great achievements."

Kazuma frowned, glared at the two chattering people, and then walked towards the fire stairs.

He didn't want to sit in the same elevator with a guy who was talking nonsense to his face.

After going down a floor, Kazuma suddenly found that the stair door on this floor was open. Out of curiosity, he glanced outside the door, and then saw the sign "*** Investigation Headquarters" hanging on the room closest to the door. .

Seeing the words "Investigation Headquarters", Kazuma subconsciously took another look - after all, the only cases where the Japanese police can establish an investigation headquarters are major cases.

Kazuma was immediately shocked at this sight, because he found that several rooms in the corridor outside had signs saying that they were searching the headquarters.

What the hell, a big dispatch from the search headquarters?

Driven by curiosity, Kazuma left the stairs and closed the door of the stairs.

He came to the door of the first room, looked inside, and found that the search headquarters was very small, with only five desks.

Kazuma vaguely understood at this time that the investigation headquarters on this floor were probably the investigation headquarters for unsolved cases that were about to expire.

Japan's stipulation on the period of prosecution makes Kazuma feel very unreasonable.

When the time limit is up, no more lawsuits will be filed. Wouldn't that be equivalent to letting the prisoner go free?

Moreover, Japan has a very short prosecution period. For a case like a 300 million yen case in which no one was injured, the criminal prosecution period is only seven years, and the civil prosecution period is only 20 years.

Kazuma suddenly thought of the 300 million yen robbery case, so he searched along the corridor and finally found the search headquarters for the 300 million yen robbery.

This room has a similar style to the other rooms, exuding a Qingshui Yamen atmosphere.

Kazuma also saw a carefully cared for succulent plant. It seemed that the people who searched the headquarters spent more energy taking care of the plant than investigating the case.

When Kazuma entered the room, he saw a whiteboard in the room. On the whiteboard, a clue correlation diagram was drawn and several photos were posted.

A photo labeled "Boy Z" was circled in red.

Kazuma was observing the whiteboard when a middle-aged uncle's voice suddenly came from the door: "Who are you?"

He turned to look at the door and found a middle-aged man with gray hair standing at the door, looking at him warily.

"I am the new public relations officer Kiryu Kazuma." Kazuma said and took out his police manual - this manual is equivalent to the police's identification card.

"Is it okay to be a public relations officer?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Well, I haven't seen him yet. I might go in the afternoon." Kazuma could only say this.

The middle-aged man nodded, and then introduced himself: "I am Takenaka, the head of the 300 million yen search department. If you want to ask about the progress of our search, I can only tell you that there is no progress. By the way, we have always believed that This boy Z is the criminal."

Takenaka came to the whiteboard and pointed to the drawn photo: "Ten years ago, before the criminal retrospection period passed, we arrested Juvenile Z, but in the end we were unable to file charges due to insufficient evidence."

Kazuma said "Oh" and asked, "Why wasn't a lawsuit filed?"

"Because this guy's blood type is different from what we collected at the scene. The handwriting is also different on the threatening letter. We have been paying attention to this guy and tried to prosecute him by discovering that the source of his huge property is unknown, but he has been living a lifeless life these years. A life of poverty.”

Kazuma: "So there's no progress at all?"

"Yes, not at all. In fact, everyone in the search headquarters understands that there will probably be no progress. We are waiting for the retroactive period to expire, and then the search headquarters will be cancelled."

Takenaka shrugged: "Well, twenty years of my life have been spent on this matter. If you want to arrange an exclusive interview with me, you can take the path of tragedy."

Kazuma: "Then you joined the search headquarters back then?"

"Do you think that's what I thought? Just like you were kicked to the public relations department when you first started working, I was kicked here too." Takezaka said helplessly.
