"Is he just a peripheral member of that organization really important enough to warrant a witness protection program?"
So Takuya concealed Miyano Akemi's name when reporting to Fukuyama Kyouichiro, and Fukuyama Kyouichiro had no grudge against this.
They have all worked their way up from the front line, so they naturally understand the importance of confidentiality.
The less one person knows, the less the risk of leaks. This is something that those "doves" who come from office backgrounds and have never been to the front line in person and can only talk on paper will never understand.
The reason why Fukuyama Kyouichiro asked Sotakuya this question was that the witness protection plan involved too many departments, which was beyond the control of him as a counselor of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.
This plan must be reported to the police chief for him to make a decision.
On the other hand, even Sotakuya has not caught other peripheral members, and Kameyama Taro is one of them. I didn't see any particularly important information being pulled out of Kameyama Taro's mouth.
As for the witness protection program itself…
The United States already has a mature operation method. They only need to copy the homework answers and make slight modifications according to local conditions.
It's just a matter of approving a little more funding.
Kyouichiro Fukuyama would like to remind Sotakuya that if he made such a big noise at the beginning of the establishment of the special investigation team, there would not be enough gains in the follow-up.
His impression score with the police chief may be greatly reduced.
Whether to slow down or stick to his guns now depends on Sotakuya's own decision.
"This witness is very important to us." Zong Takuya thought for a moment and then made up his mind. The opportunities that we can encounter in life are limited.
Smart people will seize these opportunities and make a difference from then on.
What's more, the existence of the informant book has made Sotakuya's game much less difficult. He simply added to Fukuyama Kyouichiro: "According to the informant, this witness is likely to be related to a middle-level person within the winery."
"So I think the witness protection plan is still necessary as a guarantee to relieve his worries."
So Takuya was not sure whether the so-called SSR informant was a middle-level manager of the winery. His words actually left him some room. The member of the distillery code-named Tequila appears many times in the clues he has.
If that SSR is not from the middle level of the winery, the worst possible outcome is to investigate in the direction of tequila, and maybe there will be a new breakthrough.
According to the clues compiled by Sotakuya, this organization called the winery has its own undercover agents within the Metropolitan Police Department.
It also has a large number of peripheral members, and these peripheral members have connected with many preliminary members who want to get involved in the winery.
Above the level of peripheral members are middle-level cadres like Tequila who are famous for their wine.
As for their senior leaders... it's not easy for Sou Takuya to make a judgment because he doesn't have enough clues at the moment.
However, Miyano Akemi, a peripheral member of SR, might be a breakthrough for them to understand and get closer to the winery.
"If I can get in touch with the middle level of that organization...I understand." Kyouichiro Fukuyama carefully weighed the pros and cons in his mind. When he reached his position, he had more things to consider.
Not only the progress and gains and losses of the case, but also whether Sotakuya's radicalization will affect the entire faction.
"You need to communicate with the White Horse Police Director about coming with me."
After communicating with the Office of the Police Superintendent using the intercom, Kyouichiro Fukuyama took Sotakuya to the room that was at the apex of power in the entire headquarters.
Although this is not the first time Sotakuya has met Inspector Hakuba, the man who stands at the top of the entire Metropolitan Police Department and is also one of the most powerful people in the entire Japanese police community.
But this is really the first time we have met in private like this.
Different from the seriousness in reporting situations, the Hakuba police chief in private looks more like Shiro Suzuki, with a smile on his face from the moment So Takuya walked in.
When listening to Sotakuya's report, Hakuba Police Director's smile did not change at all.
Except for the fact that he has gained some weight due to his age and working in the office all the time, Zong Takuya can vaguely see the demeanor of the police chief when he was young.
He is indeed a man who can capture the hearts of British ladies.
After listening to Sotakuya's report, the Hakuba police chief thought for a moment, and then agreed with Sotakuya's opinion of launching a witness protection plan.
And in front of Zong Takuya, he told his assistant to send coordination letters to the departments involved in the plan.
It has to be said that Hakuba Police Chief's straightforwardness was completely unexpected by Sou Takuya. He originally thought that even if things were going smoothly, it would take some time before he would be notified that the plan was approved.
Now it seems that my progress is somewhat delayed?
It's really unexpected.
Hakuba Police Chief did not stay with Sotakuya for long, and let them leave after a few words of work with Kyouichiro Fukuyama. As the police chief, he handles a lot of work every day.
On the way back to the headquarters, Kyouichiro Fukuyama reminded Sotakuya: "Don't look at the way Hakuba Police Director just acted as if he doesn't care."
"In fact, he values this organization very much, otherwise he would not have agreed to your witness protection plan so quickly."
"This also means that after the plan is implemented, your investigation team must at least come up with some tangible results to respond to the police director's green light."
"Takuya, we are all supporting you behind the scenes, don't let everyone down and don't let the police chief down."
Finally, Kyouichiro Fukuyama patted Sotakuya firmly on the shoulder at the door of the office, turned around and walked into the office.
In the next few days, only Makoto Asai could be seen occasionally holding documents in the office area of the Special Investigation Team. So Takuya, Gunda Ikumi, and Morofushi Takaaki were all busy on their own.
Zong Takuya is busy promoting the witness protection plan, including finding some suitable residences for witnesses in advance to start a new life.
This alone is enough to make Zong Takuya very busy.
The United States is able to set up a witness protection program because its territory is large enough, but Japan as a whole is only that big. It was not easy to find a suitable location based on So Takuya's judgment about the winery.
This cannot be accomplished by simply moving to a new city.
As for some particularly remote and remote places, they are also not considered by Zong Takuya. The witness is here to start a new life, not to be exiled.
Obviously, we can’t focus on the countryside, we still have to focus on the city.
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and Zong Takuya finally found a few suitable cities as options for joining the witness protection program.
Compared with the unsatisfactory situation here at Sotakuya, the investigation by Morofuku Takaaki and Gunda Ikumi was much smoother. A famous detective and an elite detective.
This kind of simple investigation work is very convenient for them.
Soon it was time for intelligence gathering, and the Special Investigation Team of the General Affairs Section reunited in their office area after a long absence. So Takuya took the lead in sharing his progress.
"You all should have heard of the Witness Protection Plan. This is something I specifically applied to this department to protect important witnesses of our investigation team."
"As for whether Miyano Akemi is qualified to start the witness protection program, it will be judged based on the results of your investigation."
"Then who's going to talk next?"
