Chapter 868 The Real Matsumoto Kiyonaga: Woke up, checked my phone...
Although the relaxation was supposed to be in the Osaka area, Jirokichi Suzuki still fulfilled his duties as a host...................
This leisure trip to the manor was exceptionally well-planned, allowing everyone to clearly understand—
As expected of a senior advisor to the Suzuki Group, Jirokichi Suzuki's presentation was remarkably polished and professional.
However, Lin Jiayou was not present for this break...............................
The reason is naturally quite simple—
He was someone who shouldn't have been here in the first place, so how could he suddenly pop up now that it's time to have fun?
In fact, after resolving the issues that had arisen, Lin Jiayou had already retired successfully under the name of 'Matsumoto Kiyonaga'....................................
He didn't greet anyone before disappearing into some corner of Osaka.....................................
By the time Nakamori Ginzo realized that his invincible 'Manager Matsumoto' had vanished, it was too late to find him anywhere.
Hmm, that's understandable............................
After all, if Lin Jiayou didn't run now, did he have to wait until the Metropolitan Police Department officers discovered he wasn't Matsumoto Kiyonaga before explaining who he really was?
.................................................. .....
at the same time
On the other side
The real Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had been thoroughly drunk in his detached house, finally groggily awoke from his sleep...
He rubbed his head, feeling very uncomfortable............................
Last night, he drank all night again............................
And, without talking to anyone, just by himself, he drank all night long................................
He wasn't like this before.............................
However, since that incident, his entire demeanor has completely changed..............................
The fact that he was able to rise to a mid-level management position in the Metropolitan Police Department shows that he's not entirely ignorant of politics...
On the contrary, he always believed that although he was a criminal police officer who had risen through the ranks, he still had a basic understanding of politics...
Furthermore, he believed that his hard work and talent were quite good, which was why he was lucky enough to get the position of superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division...
After assuming this position, he has always worked diligently and has never let down those who trusted him.
Therefore, when he received the news that he had been promoted to head of the First Investigation Division, Matsumoto Kiyonaga was overjoyed.
While the position of superintendent of the First Investigation Division is quite good, would becoming the head of the First Investigation Division offer even greater freedom and scope for advancement?
Putting everything else aside, the head of the First Investigation Division will certainly be better able to serve the people, better implement his beliefs, and better combat criminals......................................
However, this good fortune didn't last long.............................
Having only recently taken the position of head of the First Investigation Division, his subordinates were exposed for two major incidents in quick succession...
Originally, when the first incident broke out, Matsumoto Kiyonaga already felt that his future was bleak............................
The matter itself might not be a big deal, but it has far-reaching implications; everyone is talking about it, and the pressure of public opinion is suffocating him.....................................
When it came to the second matter, he realized that his future was no longer bleak...
That means they won't even be able to keep their current position!
Because the second matter actually involved the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, Toshiro Odagiri!
Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who naturally possessed some political acumen, instantly knew he was doomed.................................
Toshiro Odagiri, as the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, cannot afford to have any problems, and absolutely cannot afford to have any problems..................................
Because he was already considered a mid-to-high-level officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, or rather, a high-level officer...
If something happens to him, it will be a devastating blow to the Metropolitan Police Department's reputation...
Therefore, the only one with a problem is himself, the newly appointed head of the First Investigation Division who hasn't even settled into his new position yet.............................................
In fact, Matsumoto Kiyonaga also knew that this was quite reasonable..............................
After all, both morally and logically, I should take the blame for this.
From a moral standpoint, what's wrong with me, a mere newly appointed head of the First Investigation Division, being framed for the sake of my superior?
We can't really let something happen to the top leader....................................
Logically speaking, after so many years as an officer in the First Investigation Division, he's now faced with two long-standing cold cases, and his reputation in the public eye is only growing...
Therefore, as the former supervising officer of the First Investigation Division, it is only natural that I should shoulder this responsibility.............................................
But................................
I can't let it go in my heart!
Having just been appointed head of the First Investigation Division, he was planning to make the most of the remaining years of his career and contribute to the country...
But then, he was doused with cold water and immediately dismounted...
Moreover, he's been burdened with such a huge accusation and given such a bad reputation............................
For Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who considered himself to have worked diligently for many years, this was nothing short of a bolt from the blue......................................
Therefore, Matsumoto Kiyonaga now spends almost every day drowning his sorrows in alcohol..............................
Even his current workplace—the Second Investigation Division—has been almost entirely deserted by Matsumoto Kiyonaga...............................
What was the point of going there? Having spent so many years in the First Investigation Division, I'm practically clueless about the Second Investigation Division—I know nine-tenths of what's going on, but not a single thing…
Did you go there to give unqualified people pointers, like an outsider?
Perhaps precisely because of Matsumoto Kiyonaga's actual situation, the entire Second Investigation Division didn't pay much attention to his tardiness and early departures.
So today was another day for Matsumoto Kiyonaga to drown his sorrows in alcohol, another perfectly ordinary day for him since that incident..............................
Even if I slept until the afternoon today, that would be perfectly normal...
Well, it should be said that, even now, it's still quite ordinary...................................
Until, a phone call came in................................
"Hello, this is Matsumoto Kiyonaga..........................."
Manager Matsumoto glanced at the incoming call notification on his phone, paused slightly, and then answered the call.
This call was from the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Toshiro Odagiri.......................
Why would Toshiro Odagiri call at this time?
We can't exactly come here to question him about being late for work, can we?
"Matsumoto, thank you for your contributions to the Metropolitan Police Department!"
When Odagiri Toshiro opened his mouth, Matsumoto Kiyonaga was even more bewildered........................
Contribution? What contribution?
What other contributions have I made?
If it were before, Matsumoto Kiyonaga might still believe that he made some contributions to the investigations of the First Investigative Division when he was the superintendent of the division...
After all, he'd worked in the First Investigation Division for so many years; he'd put in a lot of hard work, even if he hadn't achieved great things, so he had made some contributions after all.
But now.........................
To be frank, he admitted that being late and leaving early had become a daily occurrence while he was with the Second Investigation Division.
He's either drinking heavily or skipping work every day, never getting involved in anything, so what contribution has he made?
etc.............................
