Chapter 75 Responsibilities
The rain was still falling, and the Toyota District Police Station had its lights on.
Yuan Yuzi sat outside the gate, with the rain blocking her eyes. She had been sitting here for four hours today.
The second floor of the police station is an independent office area. The director's office is in the innermost part. The partitions are all made of solid walls. Even the office door is made of cherry wood, with no gaps left at the top and bottom, and the sound insulation effect is excellent. The director is very satisfied. He likes to play the violin in his free time to relax his nerves.
If the sound insulation is too poor, wouldn't he have no privacy at all? There should be a sense of boundaries between people, and the new patrol officer doesn't understand the rules too much. Can she enter the police station whenever she wants? If he doesn't kill the chicken to scare the monkey, how can he be dignified in front of his subordinates...
The landline suddenly rang.
The director picked up the phone and heard the broadcaster said it was from the Metropolitan Police Department. He quickly cleared his throat, but before he could speak, the caller's first words made him break out in a cold sweat.
"I heard that my humble daughter has been taking good care of you recently."
The director quickly said some polite words and asked who Ling Qianjin was. The other party didn't say it clearly, but just said, 'I hope she won't be given special treatment because of me', 'Everyone must be treated equally', 'She is just a patrol officer now, and everything must be done according to rules and regulations'...
The director understood it, and he translated the other party's subtext in his mind: 'How dare you not give me my face? ’, ‘Are my words useless? ’, ‘You look down on the patrolman, don’t you? According to the rules, there is always someone who can cure you’……
He quickly and righteously talked nonsense, such as 'Qingyuan is really a talented person', 'Listening to the thoughts of the grassroots is what I should do', 'Although it is against the rules, I am willing to give young people a chance'... The other party also said righteously. He criticized him rhetorically, saying that he must not engage in nepotism, emphasizing the discipline of the police department, and giving him a personal verbal warning. The director nodded and bowed, showing sincere remorse.
After the official talk, the director hung up the phone and asked the female secretary to call the little patrol officer in, saying that he wanted to talk in person.
Yuan Yuzi was ready to be rejected again. When she learned that the director was willing to see her, she was happy but a little nervous at the same time. She walked into the office with her back straight, walking forward, and explained her purpose to the director with her hands behind her back.
The latter listened patiently and refused to comment, but asked: "Have you asked the superior for instructions on this case?"
His subtext was asking, ‘Is this what your mother meant? She seriously stated that she had already reported it, but the superior did not think it was enough to open a case for investigation, so she jumped over the hierarchy and reported to the director. She did not mean to disrespect the superior.
The director was in trouble. He saw that Yuan Yuzi was a fool, so he couldn't figure out whether the police inspector wanted him to refuse or agree. He couldn't ask directly about this kind of thing, so he could only rely on himself to figure out what he meant.
"Wait a moment," the director pressed the call button on the landline: "Please let Minister Yalan come in."
Morimu Yalan's rank is the inspection director, which is lower than the police department. The director can call her "minister" to give face to his subordinates.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
The director said "come in", and Morimu Yalan pushed the door open and entered.
Her eyes wandered, wondering which song she was singing. It stands to reason that the director would not be willing to waste time on Yuan Yuzi, but now the director actually asked her seriously what she thought about the investigation proposed by Yuan Yuzi.
"I very much agree with her work attitude," Morimaki Yaran stood next to Minamoto Tamoko with his head held high and said with a straight eye: "However, I think it is meaningless to waste time and energy on a case that has no result. It is better to Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to use the time spent on investigating crimes to patrol and prevent another tragedy?”
She didn't really think so, she was just giving Yuan Yuzi a chance. Looking at this situation, the director might be planning to scare the monkeys. Now if Yuan Yuzi apologizes and admits her mistake, she might be able to keep her job.
"I think so too..."
Before the director could say 'but', Yuan Yuzi retorted loudly: "How could it be meaningless to seek justice for the deceased? Even if no one cares about it, even if the deceased has been forgotten by the world, as a police officer, we must return justice to the deceased for justice. A clean slate!” “The police should not just maintain order where people see them. The principal told me on the first day of school that I will shoulder a lofty mission in the future - I think so now - no matter what setbacks I encounter, even if the people being protected say bad things, I always believe that it is not about whether I do it or not. The problem is not to consider cost-effectiveness, but that the police should do this!”
"We should investigate and file a case for the truth!"
"We should uphold the law and let criminals be punished!"
"We should seek final justice for the dead!!"
……
There was a fire burning in Yuan Yuzi's chest. She didn't care about her nervousness or her status. She just wanted to express the words she had been holding in her heart for a long time.
During this period, she hit the wall many times. Every time she was rejected, she comforted herself: 'Maybe the director has other things to be busy with', 'Maybe the director has encountered other major cases'... Only now did she truly realize that the entire police force The Department didn't care that an unknown woman died in the ghetto.
Some criminal police officers have been exposed to too many murder cases. For them, handling cases is their daily job. They have become numb, and their passion has long since gone cold. Isn't it normal to fish for trouble at work? Nothing to be surprised about.
So Minamoto Tamako was very angry.
She was very, very angry.
There was silence in the office. Morimu Yalan couldn't help but look sideways and sweated for Yuan Yuzi. She helped to make amends and said: "I'm extremely sorry, it was me who failed to discipline my subordinates well..." As she said that, she gave Yuan Yuzi a sign and motioned for her to bow and apologize to the director.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Yuan Yuzi pursed her lips and was so angry that her eyes were covered with mist. Morimu Yalan saw it, and even if the timing, occasion, and atmosphere were wrong, she couldn't help but want to rua her hard.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, that little face is soft, white and tender, and looks easy to pinch at first glance...
It wasn't until the director coughed that Morimu Yalan came back to his senses and quickly bowed and apologized again.
"There are not many young people who still have faith in the profession of police. I am really happy to hear you say that. I feel like I am seeing myself when I was young."
As the director spoke, he took off his glasses and wiped them with a white cloth: "Having blood is a good thing. Keeping it burning is truly valuable."
"You mean..."
Morimu Yalan raised her head, she had heard the implication.
"Let Yamaguchi Takashi file the case. Set up a temporary investigation department to solve the case within seven days. All personnel will be handed over in front of Sugamo Station to coordinate the investigation."
The director put on his glasses again and said gently: "I hope you will never forget your original intention, Officer Yuan."
