Chapter 16 There is no more caring policeman in the world than me
The residents of Moon Shadow Island are confused today.
Just after having lunch and taking a nap, a large number of police from Tokyo appeared on the island.
Not only did they handcuff the old policeman who had accompanied countless islanders for decades at the Moon Shadow Island Police Station, they also arrested the current mayor of the island village, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and the candidate for the next village chief, Hideo Kawashima.
According to rumors, it was because he was suspected of drug trafficking and murder. This was a big scandal.
The person most affected by this is none other than Masato Shimizu, the representative of the fishermen on the island who is one of the strong contenders for the next village chief along with Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo.
Before today, he was still a fisherman representative whose approval rating was lower than that of the capitalist Hideo Kawashima but higher than that of the current village leader Kuroiwa Tatsuji. But after today, he will become the inevitable next village leader of Tsukiyage Island, and he will soon
Take office.
Because the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji went in.
"Tsk tsk, the reaction is really fast. In order to prevent others from sharing the cake, Masato Shimizu directly used the Tokyo police as a supporting role to set off his innocence and excellence, and absorbed as much as possible to seize the support of Hideo Kawashima and Tatsuji Kuroiwa.
Those villagers.
"Sato, do you think we should leave a little later and check on him again?"
On the calm sea level, the waves were shining brightly, and under the setting sun that dyed the skyline red, a ship was slowly sailing towards Tokyo.
Uehara Katsumi, who was chewing gum in his mouth, put down the urgent news newspaper he had just bought from the Tsukikage Island current affairs newsstand and blew a bubble subconsciously.
Her hair, which had not been completely dried after taking a shower, was simply tied into a small ponytail with a rubber band, and her bandaged upper body was also covered by a white T-shirt. Under the jeans that ended at her knees, the clothes she wore were still there.
It is a pair of casual flip-flops.
"Why, you can't bear to leave Miss Asai, do you want to stay a little longer?"
Miwako Sato, who was leaning on the railing of the ship's deck, couldn't help turning her head and glanced at him after hearing this. She joked with a smile in her eyes: "If Masato Shimizu really has a problem, will you say nothing?"
"First of all, I don't chase every girl."
Katsuki Uehara, who shuddered suddenly, retorted: "Secondly - well, there is no second place. I can only say that I am not a casual person."
No matter how much he indulges in meat and vegetables, he will not go after Nantong.
Miwako Sato, who didn't know Aso's true identity, just thought that this was another dead duck of her good colleague. She raised her eyebrows slightly, stared at him with a smile, and let out a few sounds from her red lips.
In a slightly joking tone: "Uh-huh."
"You can question my character, but you must never question my taste." Uehara Katsuki hummed as he chewed gum and blew several bubbles in a row.
"For example..." Miwako Sato tilted her head and thought for a moment, then arched her eyebrows and said with a smile: "That pink Mitsubishi?"
Katsuki Uehara's favorite car is a pink Mitsubishi EVO, which is famous among the entire Investigation Department and even members of the traffic department.
He is famous in the third department because he drives to work every day, and in the traffic department he is famous because he was once caught by Yumi Miyamoto who was patrolling the street for illegal parking.
"Pink is the embodiment of love, which fully shows that I am a policeman with great love."
Hearing this, Miwako Sato suddenly laughed out loud: "Uehara, why do you always find reasons for yourself in everything you do?"
"Am I wrong?"
Katsuki Uehara, who was leaning against the railing, raised his elbows on it and enjoyed the sea breeze on his face. At the same time, he did not forget to spit out the chewing gum that had lost much flavor in his mouth into a nearby trash can: "There is no such thing in this world."
There is no more caring police officer than me.”
It is a classic rhetoric of selling melons and boasting. Over the past year, Miwako Sato's mentality has changed from being uncomfortable at the beginning to being calm now, and it can even be said that she is used to it.
If one day Uehara Katsumi wasn't so out of tune, she would suspect that he might have been switched.
"You're still far from being a real police officer, Uehara."
As a veteran police officer who had studied under Megure Juzo for several years before finally having the opportunity to independently lead a team to complete the big mission and ask for the opportunity to investigate, Sato Miwako looked at the setting sun that soaked up half of the sea level, without hesitation.
Pressure others as a senior.
"You are still young, don't be so lazy in the future. This Moon Shadow Island incident is a good opportunity for you to perform."
As a police officer, Katsumi Uehara's background in the professional team destined him to have a bright future.
As one of the only two members of the professional team under Megure Juzo, Uehara Katsumi will definitely be reused by Megure Juzo if he wants to perform well.
In fact, Miwako Sato has never really understood Katsumi Uehara's mentality of likes to fish for money. Look at Rensaburo Shiratori, who was also born in the professional team with him. He worked hard in the third department and won the favor of the thirteen members of Megure.
But what about him?
I urinate a lot as soon as I go to work. The first thing I do when I get to my workstation every day is make a cup of wolfberry tea, then I take a roll of paper to the toilet and squat for half an hour. I often can't find anyone.
I am very positive after get off work. I have only been working for a year and my working status is the same as that of the middle-aged veterans in the department who have no hope of promotion.
Although there are not many restrictions on promotion and salary increase in the professional group, considering that everyone has a good relationship, Miwako Sato still wants her friend to cheer up and stop acting badly.
It's weird to think about making money every day even though you are obviously capable.
"I showed it, I definitely showed it."
Uehara Katsuki, who rested his hands on the back of his head, said in a confident and resounding voice: "It's just bad luck that you can't see me when I perform, just like the Moon Shadow Island incident this time."
Miwako Sato, who knew her best friend's nature well, rolled her eyes at him: "I'm afraid you didn't behave so well this time because of Miss Makoto Asai."
"If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for wearing small shoes for you when I get back."
Uehara Katsuki lazily issued his own warning: "It's been one year, and my internship is about to end. I guess I will be promoted to the police department when I go back. By then, you, a small police department supplement, will be my subordinate."
As the fastest-promoting professional group among the Japanese police, he started out as a fill-in position in the police department and only needed to go through three months of junior cadre courses and nine months of practice before he could be promoted to the police department.
Of course, it is just a police department with a position and no real power. There is only one police department with real power to investigate the three departments, and that is the boss of the three departments, Mu Mu Shisan.
But no matter what, this can be considered a promotion and salary increase.
At least in terms of position, Miwako Sato, who was born in the semi-professional group, is indeed not as good as Katsumi Uehara in terms of promotion speed. She also knows what is going on in her heart, and the smile on her lips suddenly freezes, and she can't argue.
I can only secretly poke and murmur a few sarcastic words such as "What's so great about knowing how to take exams?"
The career group of the Japanese police refers to those who have passed the national first-class civil servant examination, and the associate professional group refers to those who have passed the second-class civil servant examination. Uehara Katsumi is the former, and she is the latter.
"I'm sorry, it's so amazing to be able to take exams." After blowing a whistle, Uehara Katsumi raised his eyebrows proudly, looking like he was in need of a beating, which made Miwako Sato's teeth itch.
"So what if you become the police force? You're not led by me, you're my student."
"I will be your boss soon. Do you know that subordinates cannot talk back to their boss?"
"You are my student."
"I'm your boss."
"You are my student."
"So you still like role-playing, Zuotou - it hurts! Let go, let go! I'm injured! I'm injured!"
Miwako Sato and Katsumi Uehara were so close that they could hear each other's breathing without even realizing it when their arms were intertwined.
The ship slowly sailed toward Tokyo under the setting sun. On the deck, a man and a woman were chasing each other. Their laughter rippled along with the water and slowly flowed to the unknown distance.
"By the way, Uehara, remember to put on a coat before disembarking."
"Coat? Why?"
"It's snowing in Tokyo now. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold if you dress so coolly?"
