Chapter 543: The Police Department's Complaint in Troubled Waters

Kazuma got the address and got in the car.

At this moment, he suddenly had a clever idea and finally understood why he couldn't let go of this case.

He had heard of a similar case in his previous life, which seemed to have happened in the 1990s.

There was also a girl who fell in love with a man who ran a custom shop, and then broke up after finding out that he was a pervert. As a result, the girl was threatened by the guy for a long time. Although the girl withstood the pressure and faced life with strength, she died tragically in the end.

The Japanese police were indifferent throughout the whole process. After the girl died, they tried to blame the girl, saying that the girl once worked in a custom shop, trying to guide public opinion to attack the girl's personal ethics.

Not only that, the police also protected the prisoner, and finally prosecuted the prisoner under pressure from public opinion. However, by this time the prisoner had almost fled to Russia.

Originally, the bad guys were about to have the last laugh in the incident, but the Yakuza in Hokkaido couldn't stand it anymore and were worried that the incident would have such a huge impact that they would get angry, so they executed the prisoner.

When the incident occurred, the Yakuza had been legalized for less than ten years in Japan, and its popularity among the people was very low. After this incident, the entertainment industry related to the Yakuza took advantage of the situation and began to shape the image of the Yakuza as a kind and loving person, and eventually turned the Yakuza into a " "Contemporary benevolent hero" has caused the police's reputation to plummet.

Since then, in various Japanese literary and artistic works, the police as a whole have been synonymous with corruption.

For example, in "Sang Bang", the biggest role of the Japanese police is to hold back the special duo.

In the national cartoon "Detective Conan", the Japanese police are useless and can only rely on the sleeping Kogoro to solve the case. The limelight is completely lost to the police's "Amro Lei" and the FBI's "Char Aznab" snatched away.

By the way, when Kazuma was reading the files related to this case, he wanted to kill the Japanese police who did nothing.

Now that I think of this case, Kazuma's blood pressure rises again and he steps on the accelerator even more.

Asano felt the speed of the car increase, and worriedly reminded: "There are so many cars on the road now, if you drive so fast, something will happen."

"I did not exceed the urban speed limit." Kazuma responded.

"No, no, your RV is so big, it's hard to drive 40 kilometers per hour on a street with so many cars. What's wrong!"

Kazuma didn't answer and continued to stay on the verge of speeding.

There was no traffic jam along the way, and they quickly arrived at the Baima Police Station in the jurisdiction.

Kazuma drove directly into the parking lot of the police station. To his surprise, he did not encounter any obstruction, probably because private vehicles were also parked in this parking lot.

Kazuma strode into the police station, showed his police badge directly to the information desk, and then asked: "We are here to inquire about a case where a girl named Kagawa Xiangzi was threatened with death. Let the criminal police officer in charge come and receive me."

The front desk officer in police uniform asked doubtfully: "Who are you? Are you not a criminal police officer of this department?"

Even the police have jurisdictions, and they can't just call someone by showing their police badge.

"Metropolitan Police Department search lesson 1, Kiryu and Ma Police Department will fill in." Kazuma introduced himself.

When she heard that it was someone from the Metropolitan Police Department, the receptionist's attitude became visibly respectful, but she glanced at Kazuma's electronic watch in confusion.

It seems that the electronic watch is indeed incompatible with the police supplementary officer in the professional group.

But Kazuma had no money and couldn't afford a new watch. He could only ignore the strange looks at his electronic watch and pretend he didn't see it.

"Let me check, the person who reported the crime is named Xiangzi Xiangchuan, right?" The front desk began to look through the thick report record.

After all, it was only in 1985 that the Metropolitan Police Headquarters introduced the latest batch of computers purchased from IBM. The police stations below Tokyo did not have such advanced equipment at all.

The front desk flipped through the big book for a long time before asking helplessly: "No lady named Xiangzi Xianggawa has come to report the crime in the past ten days. At least there is no such person in this filing record."

At this time, Kazuma remembered that when the murdered female college student reported a crime in her previous life, the police came to her home to persuade her to withdraw the report. After she was refused, the criminal police officer handling the case directly changed the report record and changed it to not reporting the crime. , it was just a consultation, so no report was left.

Kazuma: "Then check the visit records. A girl named Kagawa Xiangzi visited a few days ago accompanied by her parents. There must be a visit record! Check who received her!"

The receptionist picked up another thick book, flipped through a few pages, and then replied: "I found it, Mr. Kagawa. It was received by Detective Ishikawa."

Kazuma: "Is this man named Ishikawa here now? I want to see him."

"Here please, go into the second office, Life Safety Department. Ishikawa should be working there."

Kazuma turned around and left in a hurry, and Asano quickly followed.

"Is this okay? Just break in like this," Asano said worriedly, "Although we are from the Metropolitan Police Department, is it against the rules to interfere in the affairs of the police station below? We only have command authority when a case occurs. ah."

"Isn't a case going to happen now?" Kazuma asked back.

"However, even if this case is in the Metropolitan Police Department, it is under the jurisdiction of the Life Safety Division and has nothing to do with the search class. If it involves malfeasance, it is a matter for the Police Department."

Kazuma didn't reply. At this time, he had already rushed into the office and asked loudly: "Who is Detective Ishikawa?"

A policeman in his thirties raised his right hand to signal to Kazuma: "I am, who are you?"

Kazuma showed his police badge: "I am Kiryu Kazuma, Police Department Assistant, Investigation Section 1, Metropolitan Police Department."

Asano: "We belong together, Asano is patrolling."

"Why do the big shots from the Metropolitan Police Department's professional group come to me, the inspection chief?" Ishikawa asked doubtfully.

Kazuma went straight to the point: "A few days ago, a girl named Kagawa Xiangzi reported a crime with her father. Do you have any impressions?"

Ishikawa frowned slightly and his expression became very ugly. It was obvious that he remembered and regarded this matter as a troublesome matter.

"The detective from the Investigation Section 1 came to ask, is it true that Xiangzi Xiangzi is dead?" Ishikawa asked.

Kazuma: "Your statement seems to be very certain that she will not die."

Ishikawa hurriedly explained: "We are the police station in our jurisdiction after all. If she is really dead, we must know before Sakuradamon. Well, the conference room next to it should be empty. Let's go there first."

"No, let's just say it here. Detective Ishikawa, Mr. Kagawa told me that they have reported the crime at the police station, but why can't I find the report record at the front desk?"

"Well, it's just a couple quarreling. If all such reports are really recorded, the police station below us won't have to do anything else. Dealing with couples' quarrels every day will take up full working time."

"But this time the girl received death threats, right?"

"It's another thing if you receive a threatening letter, but it's just a verbal threat." Detective Ishikawa said nonchalantly, "The big shots in the Investigation Section probably don't know how many verbal death threats our Life Safety Section receives every day. Are you threatening to call the police?”

Kazuma: "But the person threatening this time is a Yakuza member."

"How many people in Tokyo are threatened with death by Yakuza every day? Especially those real estate owners in newly designated development areas. This is a common occurrence. But there are not many real cases."

When he mentioned this, Kazuma became angry for a moment: "It was because the police ignored the Yakuza's death threats that I single-handedly dismantled the Tsuda Group five years ago!"

As soon as these words appeared, everyone in the local police station fell silent, and then someone finally recognized Kazuma: "Ah! You are the Kazuma Kiryu. Why do I feel familiar when I hear your name!"

"Is it the Kiryu Kazuma who single-handedly destroyed the Tsuda-gumi and Hakusumei?"

Detective Ishikawa smiled and said: "Since the police department said that you are also familiar with the Yakuza's methods of doing things, it's easy to explain. This matter has no stakes, it is just a couple quarreling. The man is the manager of a custom shop related to the Yakuza. It's normal for him to make some verbal threats.

"In such cases, we generally ignore them based on the principle of civil non-intervention."

Kazuma: "You...but, I couldn't find the record of reporting the crime at the front desk. Mr. Kagawa clearly said that he had reported the crime!"

"Oh, I just said that it is customary not to report this kind of thing to the police. This is the rule."

In other words, the incident is still in the "non-reporting" stage. Kazuma remembers that he reported the case several times in his previous life, and was only allowed to report it after finally getting evidence of a death threat.

As a result, the criminal police later went to the victim's home to ask them to cancel the report, and finally tampered with the record, turning the report into a consultation.

Kazuma couldn't ignore the thought that this girl might actually be killed later.

Although it is also important to fight against Welfare Technology, Kazuma's inner kindness does not allow him to use Welfare Technology as an excuse to turn a blind eye to this matter at this time.

Kazuma took a step forward and poked Ishikawa's chest: "What will you do if Koko Kagawa really dies?"

"I will investigate the murderer and comfort her soul." Ishikawa said grandly.

"No! We are the police and messengers of justice. It is our duty to prevent this kind of thing from happening! If this kind of thing really happens, it is our dereliction of duty!"

Ishikawa sneered, then turned to look at Asano: "The elite adults in the professional group have not learned the duties of the Japanese police in college. You, your partner who graduated from the police college, can't have not learned it, right?"

Asano: "Well, the police department added that the Japanese police are the defenders of legal dignity, just like the United States. Our main duty is to punish criminals. If the crime did not occur, we have no obligation legally."

Kazuma said angrily: "Is it something to be proud of if the law in the United States is the same? Look at how bad the security is in the United States now, with gunfights happening every day! Do you still have the nerve to promote Japan as the country with the best security?"

Detective Ishikawa added: "Punishing criminals to create deterrence is the Japanese police's way of maintaining law and order. It would be true dereliction of duty to waste police power for an inconsequential verbal threat and allow the real criminals to go unpunished! The elite of the professional team Sir, you still have a lot to learn!"

At this time, Kazuma further recalled the details of the case in his previous life. Before this case, Japan had no relevant legislation on perverted behaviors such as stalkers and control freaks in couples. It was a legal vacuum.

That's why the police failed to act over and over again.

After all, the duty of the Japanese police is to uphold the dignity of the law.

There is no law, so there is no need to maintain dignity.

It was the tragic death of this girl that triggered a huge public response and promoted legislation. Japan had laws against various perverted behaviors, and the Japanese police began to arrest these perverts.

Now in 1985, there is no relevant law.

Kazuma stared at Ishikawa: "I am different from you. I still have goodness in my heart and will not ignore such obvious evil."

Ishikawa: "You are the deputy police chief of the Metropolitan Police Department. We can't control what you do. But you asked us to file a case for this matter. I'm sorry that we can't do it."

Kazuma asked, "Tell me where the guy who runs the custom shop is!"

"Additional to the police department, let me remind you that there are two types of Yakuza, those with brains and those without brains. This time this is a Yakuza with brains. The most clever thing he did was to hire a very powerful person. Lawyer." Ishikawa stared at Kazuma seriously, "If you act rashly, you will suffer a lot."

Kazuma asked back: "His lawyer is very powerful. Is that the reason why you turn a blind eye to this evil deed?"

"I've said it many times, we don't care if couples quarrel."

Kazuma turned and walked away.

Ishikawa said to his back: "I don't know how you single-handedly dismantled two Yakuza groups without leaving a record, but a lawyer intervened in this matter. If you really took action, it would be impossible for you to get away with your whole body." retreat!"

Kazuma turned around at the door of the office and smiled at Ishikawa: "Do you know why I don't have a criminal record? Because I have many friends in the Metropolitan Police Department."

Actually not many.

Kazuma strode out of the office.

Asano caught up with him and asked puzzledly: "Why do you think the police department is so concerned about this matter? This is unreasonable. No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary case."

Kazuma thought to himself that because I had watched the video of this case in my previous life, I still hated it so much that my teeth were sore.

But he couldn't say this reason, so he asked Asano: "If this girl really dies, will you forgive yourself?"

"this……"

"I turned a blind eye to her cry for help, which ultimately led to her ending her young life. I will never forgive myself in the future."

"However, there are really a lot of requests for help like this. It's just that we are in the Metropolitan Police Department so we can't contact them. The police below, especially those who patrol the streets on bicycles, may encounter them every few days."

Kazuma responded: "Isn't that just right? I don't care about things that I can't touch. If I encounter them, I will take care of them to the end."

"However, even if you solve this matter by threatening the guy who opened the custom shop, you will not get any credit. You may still face complaints or even lawsuits."

"Let me ask you, do you watch Kamen Rider?" Kazuma interrupted Asano.

Asano: "Don't look."

"What? As a boy, you don't actually watch Kamen Rider?" Kazuma was shocked. After all, this is Japan, and Kamen Rider and Ultraman are the childhood memories of most Japanese boys. "Don't you think you watch Light... No, it only started broadcasting in 2004..."

Asano: "What's 2004? No, who said that boys must watch Kamen Rider? I can't watch Lupine the Third?"

Kazuma looked at Asano with a strange look, because Lupine the Third was probably the childhood of a Japanese boy of the generation who was ten years older than himself.

Kazuma: "Anyway, what I mean is that Kamen Rider upholds justice regardless of reward. So do I. And if you think about it, if I build up my prestige by speaking out for justice, there will be many people who are in trouble in the future. Come to me and the case will come to you naturally."

Asano: "I want to remind you, police officer, you are a police officer, not a detective. As a detective, you can naturally meddle in these nosy matters. As a police officer, if you intervene, you may be criticized."

"If you don't want to worry about it, just take a taxi back to the Metropolitan Police Department." He Ma said coldly.

"No, no, let me come with you! I discovered that I have received a complete education from the Police University, and I am the police department's complement to you. We are Aibo!"
