After all, whether considering family background or personal ability, Shiratori Rensaburo has the capital to be cultivated, especially the former.
As the eldest son of the wealthy Shiratori family in Japan, Rensaburo Shiratori, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has a blind future in the police world.
Power, connections, money, and relatively good personal abilities all determine that the son of Japan's top chaebol will definitely hold a high official position in the future as long as nothing goes wrong.
It is precisely because of this that within the Metropolitan Police Department, as one of the suitors of policewoman Miwako Sato, Shiratori Rensaburo is far more popular in the hearts of the salty male police officers than Katsumi Uehara, who came from an ordinary background.
As a suitor, he was even able to form a defense line for Miwako Sato and openly became the leader of this defense line.
To some extent, this can be regarded as one of the epitome of the solidification of Japanese social classes.
He is from a chaebol family, an elite in the professional group, and is certain to hold a high official position in the future. He is good-looking and has a good personality. If you look at the marriage market purely, Shiratori Rensaburo will undoubtedly be able to kill at will.
Even Katsumi Uehara would not deny this.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of promotion, even if they are both from the professional team, his promotion and position changes in the future will definitely be inferior to Shiratori Rensaburo, there is no doubt about this.
Behind Shiratori is a wealthy family, the Shiratori Consortium that stands at the top of Japanese society, but behind him there is nothing.
If Katsuki Uehara really wants to compete with him and climb to a high position in the future, he must either marry the favored daughter of one of Japan's top chaebols. For example, the eldest princess of the Suzuki Consortium, because the leader of the Suzuki Consortium has two daughters and no sons;
Or, he would continue to make great achievements that no one could ignore, so that he would be noticed by some big shots and remembered, and he could be supported when necessary.
Alumni are also a network of people.
Although Keio is not as powerful as Tokyo University, Kyoto University and other schools in the police, government and business circles, it is not better than nothing.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Katsumi Uehara wants to focus on climbing up.
As one of the only two members of the professional team under Megure Jusan, Shiratori Rensaburo had a sense of crisis when Uehara Katsumi first came to report a year ago. He felt that if he did not perform well, he might cause Megure Thirteen prefers to train Katsumi Uehara, who has a whiteboard background.
It turns out that he thought too much.
What Uehara Katsumi did most in the third series was not to go to the crime scene to practice, but to sit in the office with the air conditioner blowing, drinking tea and drawing turtles, just like now.
Shiratori, who had no clue about the serial murder case, threw down the pile of documents. His face was so sad that he almost held his head and cried. He looked through the gap between the workstations and saw Uehara, who had already refilled a cup of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea. Keji is writing furiously on the white paper——
Although the painting is very abstract, at least you can see a little outline.
The Masked Superman fights the Zishui Bastard.
"Uehara, are you free now? I have something to ask your opinion on."
"No, I'm just making up the closing report."
The corners of Shiratori Rensaburo's mouth twitched: "...You closed the case for the Masked Superman?"
"A kid named Xiaozhi called the police and said that his Zishui Bastard was beaten up by a masked superman as a wild monster——"
Uehara Katsumi, who perhaps felt that this reason was a bit outrageous, paused, then very naturally pulled out another piece of white paper to cover the masterpiece, put his elbow on it, raised his eyes and said seriously: "But this is not important. , Baitiao, do you need my opinion on anything?"
"..."
Shiratori, whose emotions were a little complicated for a moment, took a deep breath and didn't know whether it was right or wrong to ask this unattractive colleague to discuss the case: "That's right, now I have a serial murder case on hand. The deceased had many occupations. They are diversified, and no sustainable similarities can be found in age, blood type, gender, or dress.
"The most important thing is that each time the body was found, it was stuffed in a fish tank filled with water. At the same time, we also found a wallet on each of the deceased. There was a metal card in the wallet with something written on it. Someone carved an English word with a knife and seal - NEXT."
Shiratori Rensaburo, who described the contents of the file one by one, also did not forget to take out the photos related to the case and put them in front of Uehara Katsumi——
Seven photos, six bodies. They were found soaked in a fish tank, and the bright red blood was extremely glaring.
"Six deaths in six days, an average of one person per day?" Uehara Katsuki glanced at the deceased in the photo and looked at the file, with a flash of surprise between his eyebrows: "There was no surveillance at the crime scene?"
"Yes, but they have all been artificially destroyed. We are currently tracing the social circles of the six deceased people, but we have not found any overlap between them -"
Ring ring ring! ! !
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Shiratori Rensaburo's explanation of the case.
"Hello? I'm White Bird."
Seeing that the call came from his subordinates, Shiratori suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart——
"What did you say?! Another corpse with the same death condition was found?!"
Shiratori, who instantly jumped up from his chair, looked extremely ugly. He made a request gesture to Uehara Katsumi for help in sorting out the files and hurriedly walked out.
"Secure the scene immediately! I'll be there right away! No one is allowed to approach the scene before I arrive..."
The voice of suppressed anxiety and anger gradually faded away. Katsuki Uehara, who was sitting on a swivel chair and sipping wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, raised his eyebrows. While helping Shiratori sort out the messy files, his eyes uncontrollably fell on that place again. On the seventh photo——
In the wallet soaked in blood, there was a metal nameplate with obvious traces of artificial engraving. The word "NEXT" meaning the next one looked particularly terrifying against the backdrop of six corpses.
"Tsk, this murderer is really a madman."
Katsuki Uehara shook his head, put away all the photos, and then threw the file back to Shiratori's workstation.
This kind of premeditated and irregular killing is undoubtedly one of the most troublesome cases for the police. No one knows whether the murderer serially killed people on a whim or deliberately killed a bunch of people in the same way to cover up the murder.
It is very likely that the investigation turned into an unsolved case and became a "stain" that can be attacked in Shiratori Rensaburo's future career.
"Forget it, why are you thinking about this? The report on Moon Shadow Island hasn't been written yet." Shaking his head, Katsuki Uehara looked up at the clock on the wall, and a little hesitation rose in his heart——
It’s almost lunch time. Why don’t you go to the cafeteria to have a meal first and then write in the afternoon?
While he was hesitating, a phone call from Aso Minoru completely saved his difficulty in choosing.
"Uehara, I'm back in Tokyo and have settled down. Can we go out for lunch?"
"So soon? Only four days, right?"
"The director of Wolgying Island Clinic helped write a letter of recommendation. He also graduated from Tokyo University School of Medicine and is considered an old senior of mine. So after arriving in Tokyo, I directly joined Mihua Central Hospital. I was busy moving the first two days. , it’s just free today.”
“…it’s great to graduate from Tokyo University.”
Katsuki Uehara, who had been holding in his fart for a long time, wanted to eat a lemon.
Qingying is such a rotten fish! I've been in the Metropolitan Police Department for a year and I haven't seen any seniors to help me!
I should have studied hard back then, and regretted it!
