Chapter 902 The Police Officers
When the burly man with the flathead looked at Lin Jiayou, who was disguised as Matsumoto Kiyonaga, Lin Jiayou also felt his gaze and glanced at him.................................
Hmm, judging by his height and appearance, he should be Inspector Yokomizo Shigego of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police.............................
He sat next to the village police officer, at the same table as him...
At the other table, on the other side of Yokomizo Shigego's table, sat a policeman with a coral-shaped haircut...
This person looks about 70-80% like Yokomizo Shigego; he must be his older brother, Yokomizo Sango, the police inspector of Shizuoka Prefectural Police.
Yokomizo Sango and his younger brother have completely different personalities, which can be seen even from their coral-like hair...
In short, Yokomizo Sango, the older brother, has a gentle personality, but is a bit unreliable, somewhat similar to Inspector Megure from the Shizuoka Prefectural Police. He both admires and relies on the detective.
Yokomizo Shigego, on the other hand, neither liked nor wanted to rely on detectives, and even resented them for always ignoring police objections and entering crime scenes on their own...
Sitting at the same table next to Yokomizo Sango was a policewoman.
Lin Jiayou didn't have a deep impression of this policewoman; she probably didn't appear much in the original story...
However, it wasn't that he didn't recognize her, because the information that Chief of Criminal Investigation Department Toshiro Odagiri gave to Kiyoshi Matsumoto mentioned him...
Inspector Ayami Ogino, who is in charge of criminal cases at the Saitama Prefectural Police...
This young policewoman has already risen to the position of police inspector; she is truly a promising young woman...
She had worked with Yokomizo Sango in her early years, so sitting next to him this time didn't seem out of place at all...
At this moment, Ayami Ogino had already opened her laptop, ready to take detailed notes on the meeting's content..............................................
At the table to Ogino Ayami's right sat a man whose ferocity was in no way inferior to that of Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Kuroda Hyōe...............................
Looking at his face with the cross-shaped scar and the cane beside the table, Lin Jiayou instantly recognized this capable policeman...
Nagano Prefectural Police - Yamato Kansuke.................................
Several years ago, while investigating a case, Yamato Kansuke was caught in a landslide and buried by the snow, losing a leg in the process.
However, due to his extremely resolute character, he did not become discouraged; instead, he returned to the police force.
What Lin Jiayou didn't know was that Yamato Kansuke's encounter with the landslide wasn't accidental, but rather a deliberate act of sabotage, a fact already explained in the 2005 theatrical version....................................
Sitting next to Yamato Kansuke was, naturally, his childhood friend and fellow Nagano Prefectural Police officer, Uehara Yui...
After seeing these two, those were basically all the named and high-ranking police officers present at the scene...............................
And they were sitting in the very front row..............................
Following them were their respective underlings, whose ranks and positions were far inferior to theirs...
Well, Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako were also forced to sit in the back..............................
Actually, in principle, Uehara Yui shouldn't have been allowed to sit in the front row, but Yamato Kansuke has a leg disability and needs someone to pass him things, so he's an exception.
After Lin Jiayou finished looking at the important figures, a certain voice began to rang out...............................
"Is everyone here...?"
Inspector Megure was the first to speak...
As a police inspector of the same rank as the representatives below, and since this meeting was held at the Metropolitan Police Department, it was his domain, so naturally he took the lead...
"Then, this meeting will officially begin..."
"Let me introduce you first. These two are the leaders of this special task force—Manager Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Manager Kuroda Hyōe..............................."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Kuroda Hyōe also nodded in agreement to the crowd below..................................
The police officers below all applauded..............................
Although they are frontline police officers who prioritize practical efficiency, they also understand basic human relationships and social dynamics.
However, this kind of vanity project didn't last long...............................
At the prompting of Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Kuroda Heiwa, Inspector Megure immediately got to the point...
"The reasons for the formation of this special task force are probably clear to everyone by now......................................"
Inspector Megure spoke succinctly.
"A serial murder case, and a serial murder case spanning multiple regions............................."
"Our task force was formed specifically for this case. The case files have been compiled by Inspector Shiratori and are now on everyone's desks..."
After Inspector Megure finished speaking, everyone looked at the stack of documents on their desks...................................
The reason it's described as having been integrated is primarily because this was a serial murder case spanning multiple regions, so the information wasn't actually shared among everyone....................................
The Metropolitan Police Department accepted this case to facilitate information flow, making it easier to find clues about the perpetrator and thus quickly locate the real culprit...................................
Therefore, the task of compiling the data was naturally assigned to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Neither Miwako Sato nor Wataru Takagi were particularly skilled at this type of paperwork, so it was naturally left to Ninzaburo Shiratori to handle.
"This data integration was completed by Officer Shiratori,"
Inspector Megure continued...
"Therefore, he will now give everyone a brief introduction to the entire case..."
"Officers, you can listen attentively while referring to the relevant documents and studying cases from other regions, comparing them with the cases you are responsible for......................................"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Shiratori Ninzaburo introduced the situation first, and then they used this opportunity to get a comprehensive overview—a method the police were familiar with, and considered a tradition.
When a special task force investigates a case, especially a joint investigation involving multiple regions, this process is unavoidable...............................
"OK,"
Shiratori Ninzaburo picked up a prepared document and speech, walked to a whiteboard, and began to introduce himself to everyone.................................
"Next, I will give you a brief explanation................................."
"Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah.............................."
After Shiratori Ninzaburo's long and detailed explanation, the representatives nodded repeatedly........................
Lin Jiayou listened to Shiratori Renzaburo's brief explanation while simultaneously checking his own memories to see if he had missed anything...
So far, this serial murder case has resulted in six deaths............................................
Their bodies were discovered in Nagano Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, Tokyo, Shizuoka Prefecture, and other locations in Kanagawa Prefecture.................................
It involved three different locations in total............................
The reason why, in addition to the Yokomizo brothers, police officers from Kanagawa Prefecture and Kansuke Yamato from Nagano Prefecture, the Saitama and Gunma Prefectural Police were also invited this time is for another reason...............................
The reason Saitama Prefecture was also asked to cooperate with the investigation was primarily because Masaaki Okakura, the organization's main target who died in Tokyo, worked in Saitama Prefecture...............................
