011-Skeleton Talk: Volcanic Preaching

Hino Satoshi worked hard, Kamio Kaede was happy and free, and he didn't bother to compete with the other party for the credit. He just caught a few thieves. If the kid wanted to be decent, let him do the hard work.

On this day, Director Mori rarely took time out of his busy schedule. He finally remembered Kamio Kaede and the other newcomers, so he specially called several police officers who were interning with him and held a brief orientation meeting in the conference room.

Kaede Kamio looked at the four colleagues who had been trained by being 'devolved to the grassroots level' and couldn't help but said happily: "I haven't seen you for more than half a month, and you are all so tanned?"

One of the inspectors named Onodera said: "Oh, July in Tokyo has always been like this. Although the department has issued a notice to reduce the number of patrols during high-temperature periods, I can't stand the heat, especially these days.

The average temperature is almost 40 degrees Celsius, and if you crack an egg on the ground, it will be fried immediately!”

Another inspector nodded, "In recent years, the weather in Japan has been getting worse and worse, especially in summer. Have you seen the news? Since the beginning of summer this year, 11 people in Tokyo have been killed by the heat!"

Kamio Kaede felt the same way. Although he didn't catch battery thieves every day like Hino Satoshi these days, he also followed up on several bars in the red light district within his jurisdiction. According to informants, the bars often carried out some marginal marketing activities, so

I led the team over to beat the boss. It was really hot on the road.

"When the orientation party is over, I'll invite you all to have a drink at the izakaya. Let's have some cold beer in the evening to cool off the heat. We haven't seen each other for exactly half a month, so let's have a good chat."

Kaede Kamio was awarded a bonus of 400,000 yen by the agency for his meritorious service in solving the kidnapping case of Fumi Takase. It was already paid to the salary card of Mizuho Bank, so he had some spare money to treat everyone to drinks.

Four hundred thousand yen, which sounds like a lot, is actually almost the monthly salary of a police officer.

When he first traveled to this world, Kaede Kamio didn’t understand the country’s exchange rate. He always felt that it was easily in the thousands and the consumption level was very high.

But later he came up with a trick: remove a zero from the Japanese yen and divide it by 2, which is basically the same as the exchange rate on the other side of the ocean.

So 400,000 yen is almost 20,000 yen, which is considered a relatively high level among the Japanese police bounties for solving crimes.

Hearing that Kamio Kaede wanted to invite him to drink, everyone clapped and applauded. Hino Satoshi was not to be outdone, and simply invited everyone to eat ice cream, specializing in the expensive ones.

Onodera interjected from the side: "Hino-kun, you haven't read the news, right? Ice cream is much more expensive than beer now. Be careful, your wallet will be empty. It can easily cost thousands of yen!"

Hino Satoshi was a little surprised, "Has the price already risen to this level? I'm busy catching thieves these days, so I haven't read much news. Since we can't afford it, let's eat Galiga Lijun. The price hasn't increased in 25 years.

.”

Onodera shook his head again, "Galagali-kun has also increased. It has increased from 60 yen to 70 yen. Their company just made an apology advertisement to remind people to pay attention to the increase in ice cream prices."

Kamio Kaede laughed aside and couldn't help laughing. The price increased from 3 yuan to 4 yuan, and he bowed and apologized to the media. This ice cream company is really the conscience of the industry.

Not long after, Director Mori held a welcome meeting. First, he warmly welcomed the new colleagues who joined this year, and then focused on commending Kamio Kaede, who made outstanding contributions to the last Takase Fumi kidnapping case.

This made Satoshi Hino envious, and then he watched Kamio Kaede come on stage to receive a seventh-class merit medal, which is a merit medal specially awarded by the police station to public servants with outstanding merits.

Kamio Kaede was a little flattered, but he didn't expect that he would receive a Golden Horse Medal just for participating in solving a kidnapping case. This medal was far more valuable than the bounty for solving ten cases.

It can be said that future police promotions and job evaluations are closely related to medals. The greater the number of medals, the greater the chances of promotion.

Originally Kamio Kaede had no chance to get the Golden Horse Medal. It is said that it was President Suzuki who smoothed the relationship and got the seventh-class merit medal. This is an honor that all police officers can only meet but cannot seek.

Looking at the opponent's shiny new medal, Hino Satoshi in the audience became more and more envious, and became more determined to catch up with the opponent. He also longed to one day stand on the commendation stage and feel like being praised by everyone.

After Kaede Kamio stepped down, the golden seal in the box was passed around by several trainee police officers like a treasure. The shape of the Yata mirror was matched with red enamel. When illuminated by the light, the halo filled the palms of the hands.

Hino Satoshi was the last person to reluctantly return the medal to Kamio Kaede. He said from the bottom of his heart, "Kamio Criminal, you are a very good policeman."

Kamio Kaede was shocked. He didn't expect that such words could be said from Hino Satoshi's mouth. Monk Zhang Er was even more confused as to what bad shit this guy was holding back.

At the end of the orientation party, Kitamura Yuki came over and stopped Kamio Kaede and Hino Satoshi who were about to leave, and said: "You two can let go of the street sweeping work for the time being, and you can work hard together these days.

My son called me to complain and said that there was no work at all. You two will go to the regional class tomorrow to provide support and leave some soup for the brothers who are working together."

"Understood." They both nodded.

After get off work, six Shin Shin police officers went to a well-known izakaya in Shibuya District for dinner. Everyone chatted about everything from the scandal of the incoming prime minister’s keeping of a geisha to the funny incident of a certain police officer throwing a gun in the toilet. Then they talked about the various bizarre cases they encountered during their internships.

After drinking until midnight, everyone reluctantly said goodbye. Even though Kamio Kaede had wanted to leave the table a long time ago, he couldn't resist the persuasion of several people, so he insisted on delaying it until after ten o'clock.

Especially Onodera, who is the first among the trainee police officers to get married, he hopes to drink as late as possible.

This is also a shortcoming of Japanese society. The wife thinks that the later her husband stays out, the more social activities he has, and thus the higher his status at home.

Kaede Kamio has always thought it was nonsense.

The next day, Kaede Kamio woke up with a hangover and still had a headache. She took a while to relax in the subway before she finally woke up.

He had to catch three trains before arriving at the police station. He made up his mind to buy a car when his salary was paid, so as to avoid getting up early to take the subway in the future.

Today, he was arranged by Yuki Kitamura to go to Plaza 429 in Shibuya Chuo-ku, where he was responsible for assisting his colleagues in the regional section in distributing leaflets, whose general content was to announce citizens’ emergency strategies regarding the eruption of Mount Fuji.

The earth's crust has been violently active in recent times, and news has emerged one after another. The Metropolitan Police Department is also organizing relevant departments to discuss emergency countermeasures.

However, the news about the imminent eruption of Mount Fuji attracted many tourists from out of town, greatly increasing the traffic pressure in Tokyo, and the regional division had to take on the responsibility of publicity.

After distributing flyers all morning, Kamio Kaede, who was hungry and thirsty, sat down in a roadside phone booth to rest.

Most street phones like Heguo's are for emergency use, and almost no one would use them in today's era of widespread 5G, so he just lay there for a while with peace of mind.

After waiting for a long time, feeling that the heat of standing under the sun in the morning had dissipated, Kamio Kaede climbed up. As soon as he got out of the phone booth, he saw a familiar figure.

Ogino Nana wore a dark blue police t-shirt on her upper body, a roll-brimmed hat, and a simple armed belt tied around her trousers. Her pretty figure was almost a standard S-shape, and her black hair was tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head.

She blocked Kamio Kaede at the phone booth door and asked: "Okay, I caught you, right? It's been half a month, where are the ten meals you owe me?"

Kaede Kamio was surprised and said: "Why are you here too? I'm busy with missions right now. Well, as you all know about newcomers, you have to be more diligent when you first come here, so I was so busy that I forgot about you."

Ogino Nana nodded, accepting the excuse, "I came out to give a lecture today, so I took advantage of the lunch break to sneak out to find something to eat. It just so happens that you can cash in on a meal first!"

Kaede Kamio patted his chest happily, "Okay, Ogino Criminal, whatever you want to eat today, just pick whatever you want today. If you don't have enough food for one, just visit two. This place is close to Yansan Town, and there are some pretty good roadside snacks there, which taste quite good.

Absolutely awesome, I’ll take you to try it!”

Ogino Nana nodded with a smile, "Okay, Kamio-kun, please lead the way."

The two of them first came to an ice stall and ordered some shaved ice. Kamio Kaede saw Ogino Nana keeping her eyes on the strawberry daifuku next door, so he waved his hand and asked for another strawberry daifuku for her.

Ogino Nana was a little embarrassed and said: "It's too expensive. It costs 500 yen a portion. It's better to have a bowl of donburi."

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. We are all public servants who have been basking in the sun all morning. We haven't even had a few sips of water. It's natural to reward yourself with a good meal and enjoy life. And it's my treat. I just received it.

I won the bonus and am very rich." Kamio Kaede dismissed her worries.

The two then wandered into a Chinese restaurant. Kamio Kaede ordered two bowls of signature noodles and told Ogino Nana that this restaurant was the most authentic Chinese noodles in the entire street.

While waiting for the above, Ogino Nana said: "Kamio Criminal, I heard that you won the seventh-class gold medal for solving the case. You are the most popular among the newcomers in Shibuya. You have made meritorious service just after graduation. Your master will definitely favor you even more.

Are you done?"
