When faced with such a slightly embarrassing question from So Takuya, Mochizuki Yoshio changed the subject without changing his expression and without a heartbeat: "I didn't expect that Section Chief Sou would conduct such an in-depth investigation into the black organization."
"This makes me ashamed."
It is not difficult to see from Mochizuki Yoshio's address to Sotakuya that his attitude has slowly begun to soften.
Mochizuki Yoshio is a police officer, and calling Sotakuya a police officer is more of a subtle reminder to Sotakuya of the gap in police rank between the two.
The meaning is self-evident, and it emphasizes that his level is higher than that of Zong Takuya.
As for now calling Zong Takuya "Zong Section Chief", it is a kind of recognition of Zong Takuya.
Under normal circumstances, the section chiefs of the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency need to hold the rank of police officer. This also means that Mochizuki Yoshio now agrees that Sotakuya is qualified to talk to him on an equal footing.
What can you do if you don’t agree?
Sotakuya's words hit his lungs, and Mochizuki Yoshio had no choice but to hold his nose and accept this situation.
But after all, he is an old politician who is a counselor. After Mochizuki Yoshio agreed with Sotakuya, he still said the next words without changing his face under Sotakuya's surprised gaze:
"Since both of us have made considerable progress in the investigation of the black organization, it is better to conduct a joint investigation and exchange information in real time. It can also be regarded as a hand-in-hand progress between brotherly departments."
"I wonder what the headmaster's intention is?"
Having a thick face and a dark heart, Mochizuki Yoshio finally understood this thick-and-black philosophy.
So Takuya couldn't help but lamented again that those who could become a counselor in the National Police Agency were not simple characters.
In fact, regardless of whether it is the National Police Agency or the Metropolitan Police Department, there is a high probability that a moron in a position of real power such as counselor officer will not be able to hold the position for a long time.
As for Mochizuki Yoshio's talk of interoperability and joint investigation, in the final analysis, he still wanted to come to the special search section to pick peaches.
Once the Special Search Section really decides to conduct a joint investigation with the National Police Agency, the representative of the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely be So Takuya, the head of the Special Search Section.
As for the police department, it is no surprise that it is Mochizuki Yoshio.
Now don't look at what Mochizuki Yoshio says so nicely, such as joint investigation, mutual understanding, indifference between each other, and brotherly departments.
But when the day comes for the joint investigation to begin, it is inevitable to select a main leader.
The main leader and person in charge must also be the ones who eat the biggest piece of cake in the winery.
At that time, due to the relationship between police rank and position, Sotakuya will naturally be at a disadvantage if he wants to compete with Mochizuki Yoshio. This can be regarded as a disadvantage of the Special Investigation Section being directly under the police chief.
Above Sotakuya is the Police Director, and there is no other leader at all. We can't let the Police Director also join the Joint Investigation Headquarters in name, right?
What's it like?
As for what benefits the Special Search Section and even Zong Takuya can gain from the joint investigation, Zong Takuya will basically not get any benefits at all.
The Police Department's information about the winery basically comes from Toru Amuro, and Toru Amuro is now working under Sotakuya.
Doesn't that mean that Sotakuya himself has already taken all the intelligence from the National Police Agency and is joining the joint investigation at this time?
Is it because of love and selfless dedication?
Thinking of this, Sotakuya's expression changed, and he became very frightened and flattered: "Counsellor Mochizuki, you are so polite! If we conduct a joint investigation, wouldn't it be equivalent to our special search section taking advantage of it?"
"We in the special search class will never be able to do such shameless things!"
"Although we had some minor problems when we arrested the cadre of the winery codenamed 'Tequila'."
"But we are still willing to share our failure experience with our brother departments until the police department needs to arrest members of the winery in the future."
"We hope our experience can serve as a warning to our colleagues in the police department."
Zou Takuya's words were extremely sincere, and he looked like a passionate young man just entering the workplace. But to Mochizuki Yoshio's ears, these words were basically just pointing at their noses and calling them trash.
The whole point of this sentence lies in the sentence "I caught tequila".
Although Tequila was eventually silenced by members of the organization, in the end it was still in Sotakuya's hands.
On the other hand, the National Police Agency has been investigating black organizations for so many years, and the undercover agents have already obtained wine code names, but there seems to be no special progress.
This made Mochizuki Yoshio feel a little feverish in his face.
Although the police department usually talks shamelessly to the public and turns a blind eye to the people's accusations, after all, they are dealing with the common people.
But sitting opposite Mochizuki Yoshio now is Sotakuya, an industry insider. Everyone is in a large system. If you lie to outsiders, some people will still believe you.
But it would be ridiculous and generous to say such things to one of your own people.
To this, Mochizuki Yoshio could only respond dryly, "Professor Zong is joking" to cover up his embarrassment.
So Takuya nodded briefly at Mochizuki Yoshio, but he didn't say anything.
In political struggles, except for the final moment when the bayonet is red and the fight is between life and death, most of the time everyone will leave some escape route.
This is also a tacit understanding that all politicians have developed unanimously over a long period of time.
"Although it is a pity that we cannot jointly establish a joint investigation headquarters between the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency, our special investigation section will never stop investigating the winery."
"If there is any new progress in the investigation of the winery, the Special Search Section will inform the Foreign Intelligence Department as soon as possible. This can be regarded as a small reward for the elites sent by the brother departments to help us work."
What Sotakuya said now was very touching. Mochizuki Yoshio was a good man who supported his work. He really wished there were more people like him.
Shotaro Hakuba on the side gave the final word: "That's right, Takuya, you have to thank Counselor Mochizuki for helping you."
"If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs help in the future, we must give it our full support!"
"I understand, White Horse Police Director! I will definitely obey your orders!"
Sotakuya held Mochizuki Yoshio's hand firmly and shook it up and down vigorously, but the strength in his hand seemed to be a little too strong due to excessive excitement.
Watching Mochizuki Yoshio's face change from white to red, from red to green, from green to yellow, and finally back to white.
Until now, Mochizuki Yoshio still didn't know the attitude of the Metropolitan Police Department. From the beginning, they had no intention of sharing the profits to give them any benefits.
The two men Hakuba Shotaro and Sotakuya came here to sing a double act for themselves!
Fortunately, I didn't see what they meant at the beginning, and I was still trying to deal with them here. I think the two of them were probably laughing at me at that time, right?
No wonder the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Intelligence refused to answer the call after he made his suggestion, and even left the matter entirely to himself.
The old guy who co-wrote it had expected it!
When he noticed that Sotakuya was holding his hand harder and harder, Mochizuki Yoshio quickly took his hand out and said goodbye to Shotaro Hakuba.
The White Horse Police Director even looked very regretful about this.
Zong Takuya also enthusiastically persuaded him to stay: "Councilor Mochizuki, no matter how anxious you are, you should have a meal at the headquarters before leaving!"
"Otherwise, if we just go back to the police station, the other departments will think that we don't know how to treat guests!"
Mochizuki Yoshio naturally refused again and again. He could tell that the police director and special search section chief of the Metropolitan Police Department were both fucking smiling tigers.
If I stay here any longer, maybe even the entire Foreign Intelligence Department will be involved!
