Chapter 167

She knew that she had reached the conditions to continue to be promoted, but the position of police sergeant also needs to accumulate seniority.

She thought it wouldn't be her turn this time, who knew Superintendent Matsumoto gave her such a surprise.

"Still not agreeing?"

Reminded by Superintendent Megure, she quickly agreed.

"Yes!"

"Then go and act quickly."

"The robbery gang has firearms in their hands, and they have also hijacked some security guards, how to handle the matter well is your business."

"Yes! I will arrange it immediately!"

With an excited mood, Miwako Sato went down to arrange it immediately.

And Juzo Megure, who stayed in the office, looked at Superintendent Matsumoto incomprehensibly.

"Superintendent Matsumoto, this is not in line with the rules, right?"

Kiyonaga Matsumoto loosened the tie on his neck and sat on his chair.

"Megure, do you know that the final result of that child is just a police inspector position?"

Juzo Megure didn't expect Superintendent Matsumoto to say this, but he still nodded slightly.

"You know that those who rush to the front line will face danger at any time."

"However, you saying this doesn't mean..."

"Megure, did Sato have an informant in the past?"

Juzo Megure was stunned, then shook his head slightly.

"When did she have such an informant?"

Juzo Megure thought for a while, and then woke up suddenly.

"It was after returning from Moon Shadow Island."

"Exactly."

Kiyonaga Matsumoto nodded slightly.

"She only went to protect those young ladies on Moon Shadow Island, so who do you think her informant is?"

"It's the people around those young ladies!"

Seeing that this stupid subordinate Juzo Megure finally reacted, Kiyonaga Matsumoto nodded slightly.

"That child is not a career group, she is different from Shiratori's situation."

"Therefore, she will stay on the front line for a long time."

.....0

"The final result might just be a police inspector."

Juzo Megure's face was complex, he who has been in the police inspector position for decades, can best understand the meaning of this sentence.

Miwako Sato is not a person with a special status, so she is a criminal police officer of the ordinary group in the traditional sense.

Her future result is to accumulate seniority.

After reaching a certain number of years, she can get the opportunity for promotion.

This is undoubtedly unfair to a capable female police officer, but this world is unfair.

In the entire police system, there are some female police officers at the upper level, but most of them are only in the police inspector position, and most of them are very old.

All are accumulated by seniority.

In fact, Miwako Sato's future will not have any changes, she will definitely walk on the road of accumulating seniority.

"But now that child has some opportunities."

"Now Sato can connect with the people of those young ladies, which is undoubtedly a good thing for her."

"This means she has a special background in the future."

"And this background also has political and business relationships."

"This is not a bad thing, understand?"

Kiyonaga Matsumoto explained patiently.

"I know that because of justice, you have always taken care of Sato, and even treated her as a daughter."

"But it is precisely because of this that I feel this is a good thing."

"At least she has some opportunities, and she doesn't have to continue to accumulate seniority."

Juzo Megure thought for a while, and felt that this was indeed the truth.

Damn brat!

Originally, today’s plan was supposed to be smooth sailing.

Yet, changes beyond the plan still occurred.

The group of idiot subordinates accompanying her couldn't even handle four small children; it was simply a total disgrace to her reputation.

But what could she do?

The operation had been completely disrupted, and if she herself were to get dragged into it, she might not be able to escape even when the police arrived.

Since those pieces of trash had already been caught by the four children, she would just shift all the blame and run away alone.

"Hey, big sister, are you planning to run away all by yourself?"

At the corner, a brat with a smug and arrogant look on his face slowly walked out.

That arrogant demeanor made her heart sink as the leader of the robbery group.

It seemed they had called the police.

Even though the security system had been controlled, and even cut off by her, how did these brats manage to call the police?

Regardless, she realized the situation had become uncontrollable.

A fierce look flashed in the woman’s eyes.

This brat in front of her was actually decent material.

Thinking of this, she immediately pulled a gun from her bag and fired without even aiming.

Suddenly seeing this scene, Edogawa Conan’s pupils shrank, and he hurriedly retreated into the corner of the wall.

"Bang!"

A hole was instantly punched through the corner of the wall.

"..."

Edogawa Conan swallowed hard.

He had encountered many criminals in the past, but he rarely saw such a zero-frame start.

She started with a shot, and it was aimed entirely at his vitals.

Facing his current child-like appearance, she actually resorted to using a handgun directly.

If his reaction hadn't been fast enough, and if he hadn't hidden immediately upon sensing something was wrong, that shot just now would have dealt him a fatal wound.

Your mouth is just too loose!

Edogawa Conan wished he could slap himself right now.

When encountering such a situation, he should have found a way out for himself; why did he actively approach them just because he confirmed the other party was a member of the robbery group?

Besides, what kind of robbery group shoots directly at a child when they have a gun!

Edogawa Conan also hadn't expected the other party to fire directly.

He had actually just wanted to stall for time.

In fact, after sending the distress signal, he had noticed two people passing by downstairs who were staring at the supermarket.

He even saw one person clearly making a phone call.

Especially when the other party ran away after finishing the call, those actions told him that someone had noticed the situation at the supermarket and had already called the police.

If he hadn't confirmed this situation, Edogawa Conan wouldn't have come over to stall for time against the last person.

"Wee-woo~ wee-woo~"

Suddenly, the sound of sirens rang out around the perimeter of the supermarket.

Edogawa Conan’s heart relaxed.

It seems my deduction was correct.

Someone saw the distress signal, and someone called the police.
