The Metropolitan Police Department is the security agency of Tokyo. Its jurisdiction covers the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. It has more than 40,000 police officers, more than 6,000 civilian personnel, more than 10 helicopters, more than 900 police cars, more than 1,000 motorcycles, and bicycles.
With more than 10,000 people, more than 40 dogs and a dozen horses, it can be said that it is a huge organization, but it is not what Chihara Rinto imagined.
He followed Iori Murakami to Kasumigaseki 2nd Town in Chiyoda District. He looked up and saw the Metropolitan Police Department building, which was familiar to him. The Metropolitan Police Department is a frequent guest in Japanese dramas, and often appears in mystery dramas and crime dramas. But after entering
It felt different, as I faced a cartoon mouse, Mr. Pipo, the Metropolitan Police Department mascot.
A rat in the halls of this state violence institution…
This really ruins the style of the painting, and as Chihara Rinto completes a series of procedures such as registration, he feels more and more strange that the Metropolitan Police Department does not look like a violent institution, but like a normal big company. There are few things like this here.
I saw people wearing police uniforms, mostly in suits and leather shoes. They were walking around like ordinary company animals. They didn't seem to move very fast, and they were all very leisurely.
The criminal policemen in Japanese dramas must be made up by the creative team to cater to the audience's preferences...
This was the first time he entered the Metropolitan Police Department. He looked calm on the surface, but looked around with a hint of curiosity. Murakami Iori was not surprised by this. She had been here since elementary school. The Metropolitan Police Department had a visit day, and she did it at the beginning.
I have been selected as a good kid with both good character and academic performance, and even entered the police chief's office!
She took Chihara Rinto directly to the ninth floor of the Metropolitan Police Department, and then entered a large office room, which was exactly the same as the office rooms in ordinary companies. There were people in each small grid, but the small grid area was quite large.
, far better than the standard of ordinary companies.
Murakami Iori stood in front of the cubicle and called softly: "Excuse me, is Nabeshima-san here?"
A head popped up in the cubicle. It was a thin man in his thirties. He was surprised and said: "You guys arrived so soon. I was just going to go down and wait for you."
"The road is relatively smooth." Iori Murakami said with a smile, but did not take the polite words seriously, and immediately introduced him: "This is Teacher Senhara Rinto."
A few more heads popped up in the cubicle. They looked at Qianhara Rinto and then retracted. They were just curious. After all, Qianhara Rinto is now famous, but they are journalists who follow the case and have nothing to do with the TV entertainment industry.
Da, I had no idea of coming over to get acquainted with him.
Naturally, Nabeshima Akira knew the celebrity from his own TV station, so he immediately welcomed them out. The two parties greeted each other, exchanged business cards, and then led them out and said with a smile: "Let's go sit in the coffee shop. I've already made an appointment for you."
"Oh, what kind of person is he?" Qianhara Rinto asked immediately.
He wanted to find a non-professional team member, that is, a front-line police officer, to understand the situation, but he did not want to find a professional team bureaucrat sitting in an office.
Just like TV stations are divided into producers and ordinary staff, those in the police system are admitted into the professional group according to the standards of Class A civil servants. These people are the future Metropolitan Police Department bureaucrats and have little contact with actual business. Those who are admitted into the professional group according to the standards of Class B and below
The non-professional group that has been admitted is the backbone of the people involved in the case, that is, the officials.
In Japan, the difference in status determines the level of status, and it is difficult to change it even in a lifetime. For example, no non-professional police officer has ever sat in the position of police chief, and Chihara Rinto is now eager to obtain status.
If he were a recognized "national teacher", Akira Nabeshima would not just be polite, but actually wait for them to come to his door. Instead, he would rush downstairs the moment he received the TV call from Iori Murakami.
Wait.
The meaning of this is very difficult to describe. We can only describe the special national conditions and people's customs.
Nabeshima Akira interacts with the police on a daily basis, so he naturally knew what Chihara Rinto meant, and smiled: "He is an old guy who has never been promoted, but he has rich field experience. As long as the police can know something, he can know it.
Don’t worry.”
Chihara Rinto was indeed relieved, and was soon taken to the cafe by Akira Nabeshima. It was so unexpected that there was a restaurant on the eleventh floor of the police agency building, and there was also a cafe.
Unexpected.
After they were seated, Akira Nabeshima treated them generously and ordered coffee and cakes for them. Since he was "keeping accounts" here, he didn't have to pay. Then he immediately went to the counter to make a phone call.
, called up a plainclothes policeman in his forties.
Akira Nabeshima and Murakami looked down on the police, but when they met, they were very friendly and introduced both parties. Then his task was completed. He sat and drank coffee with a smile, and this policeman was called Shima
Shushun Dou, dressed meticulously in a suit and tie on a hot day, has deep nasolabial folds on his face and a somewhat sinister look in his eyes.
After he asked Qianhara Rinto the purpose of his visit, he was quite confused: "You want to make a TV series about forensic medicine?"
He basically doesn't watch TV dramas, nor does he pay attention to news in this area. He doesn't know Rinto Chihara, and he doesn't understand what tricks forensic doctors can do. Not even one person out of a thousand people may have seen the scene of anatomy. If it can be filmed, it will impress the audience.
Scared to the point of peeing?
"Yes." Chihara Rinto smiled and said: "So I would like to ask Shimadzu Criminal Justice to talk about forensic medicine... Do you have much contact with it on a daily basis?"
Shimazu Hayato pondered for a moment, feeling that there was nothing to hide in this matter, so he shook his head and said: "I don't have much contact. When I was a county police officer, there was only one forensic doctor in the county. If two examinations were required on the same day,
', we need to take the body to the neighboring county, and the county police call this 'cross-county inspection'."
Qianhara Rinto didn't understand. Some things were separated by lines. He took out a small book and asked politely: "Can you explain it in detail?"
"Okay." Shimazu Hayato took a sip of coffee. He didn't like reporters, but he didn't want to offend reporters. In the eyes of the police, reporters are dogs. This dog barks every day, but if you go up to beat it, it will bite.
, I can’t kill it even if it bites, so I can only coax it, throw a bone for it to chew on, and make it bark less.
He was just throwing bones now, very cooperative, and immediately told Chihara Rinto the details.
There are roughly two types of anatomy, one is pathological anatomy, which is something that doctors only care about, and Shimazu Hayato doesn't know much about it; the other is forensic anatomy, and this is further divided into two types: judicial anatomy and administrative anatomy.
.
If it can be directly determined to be homicide, and an autopsy is necessary due to the need to solve the case, it is a judicial autopsy. This is basically mandatory and is provided by institutions such as the "Scientific Investigation Research Institute" and the "Investigation Support Analysis Center".
The departments within the police are responsible and the costs are borne by the state.
If it does not appear to be homicide, whether an autopsy is required depends on the request of the family. This is called an administrative autopsy and is performed by a doctor with forensic qualifications (not all doctors' autopsies have legal effect, even if they can do it).
This kind of doctor is called a "monitoring doctor" and is listed so that the family members of the deceased can find a doctor. However, the government does not care about the cost, and the family members of the deceased have to bear it themselves, which is very expensive.
No, it's super expensive.
As for the word "examination", it means that sometimes it is difficult to judge whether the deceased was a homicide with the naked eyes of the police and the forensic department's inspection of the scene, and whether it looks like or not. At this time, according to Japan's Criminal Procedure Law,
It is up to the police and forensic doctors to jointly decide whether to open a case and whether to invest public resources such as police force in the investigation. However, there are too few forensic doctors, so sometimes there are too many cases in a day, and the police have to drag the bodies around to find forensic doctors.
With that term cross-county inspection.
The medical examiner in this county is busy. There is nothing we can do. Let’s go to the next county to look for him!
Qianhara Rinto jotted down all of this, and felt that the two worlds were indeed very similar. The Japanese here also had the same urinary nature, and immediately asked: "How is the 'supervisory medical' system you mentioned being promoted? Apply for it
Are there many people performing autopsies on relatives?”
Shimazu Hayato shook his head: "Only in Tokyo, the Hanshin area has been promoted better. The more remote the place, the fewer forensic doctors. At most, the police headquarters has one or two."
“How much does a medical examiner earn?”
"The newcomers are around 300,000 yen, and the senior ones are around 4 to 500,000 yen. It's slightly higher than ordinary police officers, which is pretty good."
Qianhara Rinto nodded slowly, but did not agree with the sentence "not bad".
Doctors in Japan are a high-income group with high qualifications. They are also called "teachers". They are one of the most popular types in the dating market. Their annual income is generally in the tens of millions of yen. I have even heard that the annual income is over 10 million yen.
Doctors with hundreds of millions of "flying knives" don't know how the knives fly, but when it comes to forensic medicine, they are missing at least half of it. No wonder those who study medicine don't want to become forensic medicine.
He asked the police in detail about the details of the scene investigation so that he could copy them when writing the script. Finally, he asked: "How many forensic doctors are there in Japan now? Can Tsushima Criminal Justice estimate the number?"
"This..." Shimazu Hayato thought for a while and hesitated: "I can't estimate it, it's not much anyway."
"Is there a 'supervisory doctor' familiar with Natsushima Criminal Justice? Can you introduce it to us? We would like to know more about it."
"Yes, it's not difficult to find in Tokyo. Most national and public medical universities have one or two." Tsushima Hayato was very happy. This was still not confidential information. He quickly gave Chihara Rinto an address, "You can
Go directly, Professor Yoko is very easy to talk to, and I usually recommend family members to go to him and I will call him."
"Thank you, I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
After seeing off Tsushima Hayato and Chihara, Murakami thanked Shimanabe Akira for his help, and then rushed to a national university. After signing up and waiting for a while, they met a doctor Yoko who smelled very strange.
Professor, he is in charge of the Department of Forensic Medicine at this university. He is the only teacher, with one teaching assistant and three to five students, big cats and kittens.
Chihara Rinto immediately explained the purpose of his visit, but Professor Yoko was talkative and without the caution of a policeman, he said directly: "Very few!" He went to get a booklet and showed it to the two of them.
Look, "This is our internal forensic directory, take a look for yourselves!"
Chihara Rinto immediately took it and counted them carefully, and found that there were only 151 people... maybe more than his original world, but not much more.
Professor Yoko also pointed to the directory and added: "There are many names in there just to facilitate research funding, but there are actually fewer."
Qianhara Rinto looked up and was a little impressed that he sold his colleague so easily, but he didn't write this sentence down in his notebook. This kind of informant should be protected and not cheated.
He returned the list and asked: "Then what do you think about the fact that there are too few autopsies for 'unnatural death'?"
"What do you think?" Professor Yokoo is a scholar and speaks without scruples: "On the one hand, because of tradition, everyone emphasizes that they should be buried in peace. They don't want the remains of their loved ones to be harmed twice. They are obviously going to be cremated, but they refuse to accept anatomy. All I can say is
A very foolish idea!"
"What about the other side?"
Professor Yoko glanced at them sideways and said: "You are not journalists, are you? It doesn't matter if you are. I think the country is whitewashing the peace and saying all day long that the murder rate is the lowest in the world, but in fact, 90% of suicides may be homicides!"
"Ninety percent?"
"That's right, in Japan, as long as you kill someone and pretend to commit suicide, you have a 90% chance of escaping legal sanctions, because no one will get to the bottom of it!"
Murakami Iori was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Have you never reported this issue to your superiors?"
Professor Yoko asked directly: "To whom?"
Murakami Iori pondered for a while and had nothing to say. There are countless social problems in Japan now. If nothing serious happens, the government will turn a blind eye. Professor Yokoo saw that she was silent and became even more dissatisfied. He sneered: "We
If several people scream at the same time, why not engage in a love triangle with celebrities like you?"
Chihara Rinto was speechless for a moment and said: "We are not celebrities."
"That's about it. You said that if you want to make a TV series about forensics, it's best not to have female forensics in it. In Japan, there are not many women in this field, so you have to respect the reality of this industry."
Rinto Chihara also held her breath. Without the actress, the ratings of "Unnatural Death" would probably be reduced by several percent. It is impossible for this TV series to completely pursue reality.
Professor Yoko was very easy to talk to. He always answered all questions and was a bit loud-mouthed. However, his words were a little rude, but that didn’t matter. Chihara Rinto honestly asked some more forensic knowledge points, and then asked this person to take the lead.
They went around the anatomy classroom, inspected the scene to build a scene suitable for this era, and watched the actual teaching video...
Murakami Iori left after watching the beginning, but he, the chief screenwriter, couldn't leave, so he had to finish watching it, and felt that it was of no use. TV dramas must not be shot like this. They have to beautify it and put clothes on the body, at least.
It needs to be covered up, or... simply don't have a lens for actual operation.
In the future, whoever dares to say that a TV series should be filmed according to reality, I dare to shoot him if he goes up and slaps him in the face. Does anyone dare to watch it? It really doesn’t hurt to stand and talk!
…………
Soon, they ended their deliberations for the day and planned to follow Professor Yoko's recommendation to visit other forensic doctors tomorrow to gain a more comprehensive understanding of some of the details of forensic anatomy.
Murakami Iori drove Chihara Rinto back in the car, her face still not calming down. It is true that she is a smart working woman, but disembowelment is not within the scope of her business, and she cannot adapt to it physically.
She calmed down halfway and asked softly: "I didn't expect that the actual situation was like this. Qianyuan, how did you find out?"
This was different from looking at that dry plan. The thought that she might die in the future without knowing how was very horrifying. Qianhara Rinto was speechless and could only vaguely say: "An acquaintance mentioned it
Once, I checked carefully."
Murakami Iori didn’t ask for details. Her focus was not on that. She just said softly but firmly: “We have to make this drama!”
She felt that she got to know her partner again. She felt that he was not only ambitious, but also had a sense of social responsibility. He was a qualified creator, which was amazing!
It's really amazing. It's an honor to be my companion.
