"Inspector Megure, I'm looking for Miwako~"
"what?"
Inspector Megure's eyes became wary:
"Let me tell you, Sato can't take the day off today. Our department has several cases to handle!"
Pushing open the door and leading Natsume and Shizuka Ikenami inside, Inspector Megure said thoughtfully, "If you want Sato to be less busy, you have to help me solve these cases!"
Xia Ye: "..."
That fatso has finally found some laborers!
Chapter 415 Sometimes, direct violence works better.
Natsume is a temporary worker at the Metropolitan Police Department.
Many of my colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department have forgotten this.
As a criminal consultant, he is only called up when there are important cases, and he does not have to stay at the Metropolitan Police Department all day.
This means that unless a major case occurs, you can't count on him to solve ordinary cases unless he comes to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Inspector Megure, Supervisor Matsumoto, and even Chief Detective Odagiri all felt sorry about this and wanted to directly transfer him to a permanent position without having to take an exam!
however--
Xia Ye was so relaxed and carefree.
I don't want to be tied up in the Metropolitan Police Department.
That's why I kept saying I'd think about it—
In reality, they would never agree to make it a permanent position!
Now Inspector Megure and the others understand that Natsume isn't interested in this, so they stop bringing it up. However, they still have ways to get Natsume to work.
The first option is to hire someone directly!
Xia Ye is actually quite easy to talk to. Even for ordinary cases, he will generally not refuse as long as he is available.
The second is Miwako Sato.
Everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department knew that Natsume and Officer Sato had a close relationship, so they assigned Officer Sato more tasks!
Xia Ye certainly wouldn't stand idly by like this—
The key is to find the right balance.
Otherwise, you'll just be annoying.
As for this degree—
Inspector Megure handled it very well.
Inspector Megure led Natsume and Shizuka Ikenami to Miwako Sato's desk and then left. He wasn't lying; he was genuinely busy!
"Did you run into Yumi just now?"
Miwako, buried in her work, looked up at Natsume and said with a resentful look in her eyes:
"Yumi exaggerated the story, saying you were driving around with a beautiful woman. I know she was exaggerating a bit, but I'm still really upset. I'm so busy here!"
"What do you mean, taking a beautiful woman for a drive!"
Xia Ye reached out and took the file from Miwako's hand, flipping through it as she spoke:
"I brought Jinghua here to discuss some important business with you."
"Doing business?"
Miwako rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"You think I'm not busy enough, huh?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"
Xia Ye had finished reviewing the case information in her hand.
These weren't particularly difficult cases; they were just a bit tedious and troublesome, cases that even a regular police officer could easily solve by spending time on.
This is actually the case in most cases.
Not every case requires the help of a famous detective.
"Forget it~"
Miwako waved her hand, though she complained a little about having too much work, she still said understandingly:
"I know you're not interested in these cases, so I won't let you participate. However, Inspector Megure has a question-and-answer session with a very stubborn suspect. Could you go and help him out?"
"This is to give Inspector Megure some face; otherwise, I wouldn't have felt comfortable putting aside my work to do this for you."
"Row!"
Xia Ye nodded in agreement.
Then I introduced her to Shizuka Ikenami.
After a brief chat, Miwako asked curiously:
"So who are you looking for?"
"A man, Shibata Shiro, a student at Osaka Kaifang Junior High School about twenty-seven years ago, was the president of the kendo club. He was quite skilled in kendo, so it's very likely he'll continue working in the field after graduation. Miwako, could you help me find out his current address?"
Xia Ye provided the other party's information.
"Osaka?"
Miwako subconsciously looked at Ikenami Shizuka. Knowing Ikenami Shizuka's identity, she looked at her with a puzzled expression. Wasn't this just a matter of a word from this lady?
This doesn't involve her hiding the truth from her husband, the top police officer in Osaka. Finding a classmate is perfectly normal!
"Please, Miss Miwako~"
Ikeba Shizuka didn't explain. It would be really embarrassing to explain to Natsume's woman that "this was just a random excuse I made up to see Natsume"!
"You're welcome~"
Miwako quickly waved her hand, then looked at Natsume:
"Natsume, go help Inspector Megure first."
"Miss Jinghua will stay with me—"
"I'll take her to get checked."
"Row!"
Xia Ye agreed without much thought, not worried that the two women would fight if they were alone together!
After all, he was already used to it, and even felt that these women got along better when they were alone than when he was around. It was unbelievable!
This world seems a little too simple~
Shake his head.
Xia Ye went out and walked towards the interrogation room.
Come to the interrogation room.
Looking through the one-way monitor window, I could see Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi in charge of the interrogation. It seems Inspector Megure had just come out for some fresh air and is back now.
As for the criminals—
He was a burly man with a face full of scars.
Look at his smug and fearless demeanor.
It does seem a bit difficult.
For Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi...
Xia Ye pushed open the door and went inside.
Inspector Megure turned around, his previously stern face breaking into a smile of relief, as if he had finally found a savior. He pulled out a chair and shoved Natsume down in front of the interrogation table.
"Xia Ye, come here!"
"This guy's got a really stubborn mouth!"
"Yo!"
Across the interrogation table, the arrogant prisoner looked at Xia Ye with a mocking gaze and said in a strange voice:
"Why are they sending a young brat to interrogate me? Are they trying to use a handsome man—"
"..."
The prisoner fell silent.
Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi gave each other a strange look.
I didn't even realize there was anything wrong with it!
Xia Ye was utterly speechless!
Although his methods were subtle and difficult to detect, it was already very suspicious that the prisoner, who was talking so arrogantly, suddenly fell silent and became motionless!
These two guys actually ignored it!
never mind--
I should have gotten used to it by now.
I started criticizing "Detective Conan" when I first watched it, but now there's nothing new to say about it!
"Takagi, tell Natsume about the case."
Inspector Megure had clearly given up on thinking things through, handing everything in the interrogation room over to Natsume, even having Takagi explain the case.
"Yes, Inspector Megure!"
Takagi Wataru naturally dared not be negligent. Although he was jealous that Natsume had won over the Metropolitan Police Department's beauty, Officer Sato, his kind nature prevented him from doing anything to trip her up. So he earnestly explained the case to Natsume.
"Arms smuggling?"
Xia Ye glanced at the prisoner opposite her.
He remained motionless, and the fierce look in his once arrogant and ruthless eyes vanished, replaced by deep fear and unease!
"The people have been arrested, but the goods can't be found?"
"Correct!"
Inspector Megure added, "Who knows if they actually made a deal without exchanging money for goods? If we can't find those goods, we can't determine these people's crimes!"
"I understand~"
Xia Ye looked at the prisoner again.
This time, the look in his eyes was more than just fear and unease—
There is also fear and pain!
Unfortunately, he's currently in a slightly lowered position, so the camera can't capture him at all!
Therefore, the interrogation room at this time was a normal interrogation room, without any violations!
At this moment.
Inspector Megure finally realized something was wrong.
The prisoner seemed unusually quiet.
You should know that because there was no evidence against him, this prisoner was extremely arrogant before, and even threatened to hire a lawyer to sue the Metropolitan Police Department after he got out!
And now-
Isn't she becoming too well-behaved?
Not only did he stop talking nonsense, but he also stopped.
And their sitting posture looks much more docile!
Has he suddenly realized his mistake?
