Chapter 183 Rewards based on merit
The train stopped, snowflakes splashed on the wheels, sizzling, and a puff of smoke rose.
Du——du——
The whistle sounded and people jumped off the train cheering. Members of the Inagawa Society and the criminal police from the Investigation Division rarely celebrated together. Toda Shuugo and Kinoshita Shohito leaned side by side against the window, lit a cigarette, and watched their subordinates rush to the snow, dragging the half-dead Fushimi deer and throwing it high.
"One, two, three! Long live!"
Fushimi Shika grinned in pain and cursed a group of lunatics. How could anyone treat the wounded like this? When everyone saw that he still had the strength to yell and curse, they threw him up again and had a great time.
Yuan Yuzi trotted all the way to the wrench, checked Yingzi's body up and down to make sure she was not injured, then breathed a heavy sigh of relief and hugged Yingzi.
Passengers from the other train also got off the train and gathered around them, clapping their hands and expressing their sincere gratitude.
"My little sister is so amazing!"
"It's so awesome, I dare to jump out of the car in that situation..."
"Super handsome! More handsome than professional skiers!"
Ping Yingzi turned her head and buried her face in Yuan Yuzi's arms. This was the first time she had this strange feeling. Although she was among the crowd, she was not afraid. She just felt a strange sense of nervousness. She was happy but afraid to see people... Could this be shyness? ?
Yuan Yuzi was afraid that Yingzi would be stimulated again, so she quickly hugged her, patted her back and comforted her softly, and explained to everyone in a low voice. The others were immediately in awe when they learned that Yingzi had a "brainless mind but a strong mind", and some even planned to donate money.
Yuan Yuzi hurriedly waved her hands to dissuade them. If they wanted to collect money at this time, it would look like they were here to beg. And it’s not good to kidnap others morally. Several of the passengers had patches on their clothes and looked poorer than her...
"Sister, do you want to eat oranges?"
The girl held an orange in both hands and handed it to Hira Sakurako. She looked to be one or two years younger than Hira Sakurako. She had probably just entered elementary school when her mother stood behind her, with tears in her eyes for the rest of her life.
Ping Yingzi turned her head slightly. She was silent for a moment, then carefully stretched out her hand and took the orange.
This orange is specially given to her.
She no longer has to rack her brains to think of how to take other people's oranges for herself.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Yuzi felt that Barrett was in her eyes, and couldn't help but hug Sakurako and cry.
Several criminal police officers from the search section were responsible for finishing the matter. They contacted the nearest signal station through the locomotive's radio. The local autonomous association sent hundreds of volunteers to drive small trailers to deliver supplies. Train drivers and crew members repaired trains and confirmed track lines.
The local police station dispatched criminal police officers and patrol officers to cooperate with the closure. They temporarily replaced the work of forensics instructors and forensic doctors, and were responsible for taking photos and collecting evidence, moving corpses, and investigating transcripts... On a snowy field, everyone was busy.
More than seven hours later, they finally embarked on their return journey.
The executive officer in charge of this arrest operation is Minister Sakamoto. His current police rank is Chief of Police, and he serves as the head of the Criminal Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department—preparation, funding approval, personnel transfer, operational command, etc. He is responsible for all the work.
More than 300 criminal police officers from the Investigation Division got on the train and lost contact with them all after more than an hour. One can imagine how much pressure Minister Sakamoto was under. Before he could calm down, an emergency report came from the signal station, saying that the train was about to collide. The assistant was anxious and asked what to do. He held a tea cup and said: "I trust my subordinates, they will definitely be able to turn the crisis around." '...Mr. Sakamoto looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was quite panicked.
After everyone returned safely, Minister Sakamoto breathed a sigh of relief as if exhausted. Although many criminal police officers died in the line of duty this time, compared to total annihilation, it was considered the best result.
In the follow-up finishing work, the police determined the death toll, counted the missing people, and arrested a large number of members of the God's Punishment Team. All media were rushing to draft press releases.
All the criminal police worked overtime to write the action report. After reading it, Minister Sakamoto was very angry. Everyone was asking for credit. How could it be that a little girl who had never been to elementary school turned the tide in the end? How could he hand over this kind of closing report to his superiors?
Minister Sakamoto rejected it directly, and his assistant translated it for him: the action report should highlight Miss Tamako's contribution, and secondly emphasize the minister's good leadership, and then the team leader, section chief, and team members should express their merits one by one.
Although the subordinates were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything more.
The next day, Minister Sakamoto received a new action report. After reading it, he expressed satisfaction, slightly modified a few details, and went to meet with his superiors to report on his work.
This operation can be said to be a complete victory. It is rare that no civilians were killed, and no family members of the victims caused trouble. The police and entrepreneurs (Inagawa Association) worked together to eliminate the criminal gang Tianpu Group... If it is announced to the outside world, it can If you characterize the Heavenly Punishment Team more seriously and publicize the contribution of the sacrificed police officers, public opinion will definitely be overwhelmingly applauding.
However, as expected, he was scolded bloody by Kujo Yui.
As a police inspector, I would definitely not use curse words when swearing. Kujo Yui threw the report on the table, asked who wrote the report, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai: "Who did this stupid thing? Minister Sakamoto, I suggest you discipline your subordinates... Don't the rescued passengers have mouths?" In order to claim credit, you actually lied about such an unimportant matter. If you issue an announcement based on this action report, what do you think the public will think of a bunch of idiots trying to take credit from a little girl?”
At the meeting, no one helped.
What she said makes sense. For a major case like this with a large number of witnesses, the Metropolitan Police Department's appearance should not be too ugly. To honestly commend the little girl and allocate a subsidy to help disabled children return to society is what the Metropolitan Police Department should do.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
At noon that day, the Mejiro train case hit the criminal headlines. This news report was also written by Momo Yazaki, who had firsthand information before the incident.
From the perspective of marginalized people in society, the press release emphasized that this "natural punishment" incident was not an accidental crime. As the financial recession, rising prices, and the tide of the times sweep across Japan, a sense of world-weariness is quietly growing. Many people on the margins of society have lost hope in life—even if there is no divine punishment, they will go to extremes for other reasons.
Media from all walks of life call on all sectors of society to care about the well-being of the people and improve people's happiness. TV news every day invites celebrities to interview their views on the "God's Punishment Group" and analyze the social factors behind the emergence of the God's Punishment Group.
Fushimi Shika didn't care at all how public opinion was, because he was admitted to the hospital again.
This time, his left hand was fractured, his right shoulder was dislocated, and his ankle was sprained. Fortunately, they were not shattered, and he would be fine after a while.
Yuan Yuzi came to visit him with a fruit basket and asked him if he needed anything. Fushimi Lu lay on the hospital bed and thought for a long time. It might be because of his head injury. He felt that his memory was not as good as before.
"I always feel like I've forgotten something." Fushimi Lu said with a frown.
"Eh? What's the matter?" Yuan Yuzi asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Forget it, since I can't remember it, it means it's not important." Fushimi Shika put the matter behind him and directed Minamoto Tamako to unpack the fruit basket.
