Normally, Shiratori Rensaburo would never agree to Sotakuya's idea of causing trouble at his sister's wedding celebration.
However, Shiratori Rensaburo himself is also among the investigation team.
If the gangster's real target is the entire investigation team, then sooner or later he will be attacked one day.
not just myself
Sato Miwako was the last straw that really forced Shiratori Rensaburo to acquiesce to Sotakuya's plan. If given a choice, Shiratori would hope that he would be attacked instead of Sato.
Fortunately, time passed quickly
In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding celebration party of Sara Shiratori and Kotaro Seigetsu.
Sotakuya, Shiratori Rensaburo and Sato Miwako also went to the Rice Krispies Plaza Hotel as guests invited by the Shiratori family.
After arriving at the venue, Shiratori Rensaburo, as the representative of the Shiratori family, was responsible for entertaining his colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Department, while Miwako Sato wore a dress and felt the long-lost "freedom".
Sotakuya saw Toshiro Odagiri in the venue and walked over.
"Director Sou, I really trouble you this time." Odagiri Toshiro solemnly thanked So Takuya.
Odagiri Toshiro originally just needed Sou Takuya to be named in the investigation team, but unexpectedly dragged Sou Takuya into trouble.
Odagiri Toshiro also saw these two media interviews with Sotakuya on TV. Especially the latter one, he knew very well that he probably owed a lot of favors this time.
"It's okay. Since there is a case of killing a police officer that has a bad impact, neither the National Police Agency nor the Criminal Bureau can stay away from it."
During the few days he was under "protection" at the Metropolitan Police Department, Sotakuya also received a call from Shigenobu Koga. The deputy head of Koga had only one instruction.
That is to arrest this madman who dares to provoke the Japanese police as soon as possible.
This is not only about whether the spirit of Officer Nara can rest in peace, but also about whether the face of the entire police force can be preserved.
While Sotakuya and Odagiri Toshiro were being polite, Mouri Kogoro stood aside cautiously and said hello to Odagiri Toshiro.
Before Kogoro Mouri resigned, Toshiro Odagiri was also the detective's superior.
In addition, Mouri Kogoro has always maintained very close contact with the Metropolitan Police Department, so it is natural for him to say hello to him when he meets him at the banquet.
Speaking of which, Kogoro Mori's resignation is not without its benefits.
In the past, when he was still a detective in the Criminal Department, Mouri Kogoro was definitely not high enough to come over and say hello. But now that he is a famous detective in Japan, he can use this status to make small talk.
So Takuya nodded to Mouri Kogoro and then said to Odagiri Toshiro: "Then I will go and start working."
"I'll leave everything to you, Director Zong. The people of the criminal department of this headquarters will obey your orders." Odagiri Toshiro nodded.
This is also what it should be. Strictly speaking, the bureaucrats of the Police Department are administrative personnel. When certain actions need to be implemented, the Police Department still needs to provide front-line personnel.
After Sotakuya left Odagiri Toshiro, he found a group of criminal police officers on standby, and then the group quietly left the banquet hall.
"Director Zong, you will have full control over our next actions." The detective led by Zong Takuya expressed his stance after leaving the banquet hall.
The reason why the command was handed over so easily was partly because of Odagiri Toshiro's arrangements. On the other hand, Sotakuya's Special Investigation Division is famous in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Although the Special Investigation Division was disbanded after only Sou Takuya served as its chief, the impact within the Metropolitan Police Department was far more than what it seemed.
Similarly, the past existence of the Special Search Section also brought many conveniences to Sotakuya's future actions.
Judging from the gangster's behavioral logic, killing the police is not his ultimate goal, but should be just a way to achieve his own goal.
The gangster's ultimate goal should be to hide himself better.
Then this gangster would definitely not choose to kill Shiratori and Sato in the banquet hall.
Considering the three axes of the rice flower murderer, secret room, blackout and forged alibi.
So Takuya issued an order to the criminal policeman in front of him: "Send someone to this floor and the power distribution room of the hotel to see if there is anything abnormal."
After receiving Sou Takuya's order, the four criminal policemen immediately left in a hurry to confirm, and the remaining people received further orders from Sou Takuya.
Shiratori Sara's wedding celebration was held on the 15th floor of the hotel. In addition to the banquet hall, there was also a vacant small conference room on this floor.
Shiratori Sara's dressing room, smoking room, and men's and women's bathrooms.
"The remaining people dispersed and began to investigate all rooms in the hotel except the banquet hall, with the men's and women's bathrooms focusing on the investigation."
Sotakuya carefully thought about where the murderer might choose to attack. Shiratori Rensaburo didn't smoke, so he wouldn't be in the smoking room.
Small conference rooms usually have few people going there, so it's highly unlikely.
If you have to choose a place to do it, then the bathroom becomes the most suitable place.
Of course, the gangster doesn't necessarily have to choose to take action today, but if he doesn't take action today, there won't really be much time left for the murderer.
During the period of "protection" at the Metropolitan Police Department, Sotakuya asked the criminal police from the First Search Section to find all the people who had conflicts with Nihono.
The main reason is that Ninoho's character is really not that good, and there are too many people who have had conflicts with him, otherwise Sotakuya would have been able to identify the suspect long ago.
There are also the police officers who went to investigate the surveillance. Because their professional skills are too new, they have not been able to find out the true identity of the murderer from the numerous surveillances.
Sotakuya's intention is obvious. Either he takes the risk and kills the three of us today, or he waits for the police to come to him soon.
It's like two cups of poison are placed in front of the murderer. Given the necessity and the next cup, which cup do you choose?
"Zila zila. Report to the director, a simple remote control power-off tool was found in the power distribution room. Do you want to dismantle it?" Just as Zong Takuya was searching the men's room, the radio sounded the voice of the criminal police who went to the power distribution room to investigate.
Sotakuya was overjoyed when he heard the detective's voice. It seemed that the murderer really planned to take action here today.
The good news was not limited to the power distribution room. The criminal police responsible for investigating the women's restroom sent a report and found a flashlight that was always on in the cabinet under the sink in the women's restroom.
After questioning the hotel and the cleaning staff responsible for cleaning the bathroom, it was confirmed that the flashlight was not placed by them.
Women's bathroom sink
The murderer did understand women quite well. It was normal for girls to touch up their makeup in the bathroom at such a banquet.
"Yoshi, you caught the rat's tail. Immediately notify the headquarters to provide support here. The gangster has a 9mm automatic pistol and requires fully armed support!"
In order to avoid an accident while waiting for the arrest, Zong Takuya decisively called the Metropolitan Police Department for support. This appropriate arrangement will probably give the murderer an unforgettable surprise later.
After Zong Takuya issued the order, he watched the leading detective grit his teeth and call for support from the headquarters.
Oh, by the way, Miwako Sato from the Investigation Section 1 seems to be a popular lover of the Criminal Division and even the Metropolitan Police Department.
Zong Takuya couldn't help but start to gloat in his heart. The murderer really chose a perfect target!
