Chapter 57: The Fastest Arrest
The dispatcher quickly notified all patrol teams under Tokyo Tower of the reported information.
"The Italian robbery gang has surfaced?"
Megure Juzo, who was out on patrol, was shocked when he heard the news coming from headquarters.
The gang leader was only caught yesterday, and today there is already information on other members?
He listened carefully.
Megure Juzo also found it a bit strange when he heard that the three suspected gang members were watching four children.
"Four children suspected of finding the marked location where the gang leader hid 15,000 Maple Leaf gold coins?"
"It seems that when those people were looking for the Maple Leaf gold coins, that slip of paper drifted away and was picked up by the children."
"What!"
"The caller also saw suspected firearms at those guys' waists?"
"I understand, I'm heading over immediately."
Hanging up the phone, Megure Juzo's expression immediately turned serious.
"Sato, contact all surrounding patrol brothers immediately. Tell them to turn off their sirens; we suspect we've found the armed Italian robbery gang."
"Right now, the suspected gang members are watching a group of children. We need to arrest those suspects before they make a move."
"This operation is extremely urgent."
"The criminals are on the commercial street; we must complete the arrest in one go."
Megure Juzo paused.
"Tell Takagi not to come. That guy made a mess of our operation last time; we can't have him playing around this time."
Megure Juzo was very willing to give his subordinates opportunities to grow, but now was not the time for games, and he couldn't let that subordinate who always messed things up ruin the mission.
"Yes, I'll contact them immediately."
Sato Miwako immediately began contacting the other patrol teams.
At the same time, she emphasized that Takagi should not be involved in this operation.
This made Takagi's muddled personality famous throughout the entire police force.
However, considering this operation involved an armed robbery gang and was definitely not a game, everyone didn't laugh directly on the channel.
Except for Takagi, who was blushing with shame, everyone else was moving quickly toward the target.
While the police began their operation, Ren Amamiya and Sonoko Suzuki were standing at the entrance of a milk tea shop.
"Amamiya, guess if the police will come quickly this time?"
"No need to guess, they will definitely come quickly."
Ren Amamiya was very certain.
He pointed at the civilians on the street.
"On a main road like this, with so many civilians in the danger zone, do you think the Metropolitan Police Department will act slowly?"
"If a commotion breaks out on a street like this, the high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department will have to bow and apologize again tomorrow."
"If the higher-ups have to apologize, then the ordinary police below will face a thunderstorm of fury."
"Therefore, their operation this time will definitely be very swift."
It wasn't as if there wasn't another reason, though.
Another reason was the inherent incompetence of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Also, Kudo has been hogging the spotlight on TV for a while now. Do you think the Metropolitan Police Department enjoys seeing that?"
Sonoko Suzuki shook her head with a smile.
"Those high-ranking officials at the Metropolitan Police Department must have been driven mad with anger long ago."
"I often hear people saying that the police at the Metropolitan Police Department are a bunch of useless freeloaders."
"Always being told that by the people they are supposed to protect, they certainly can't accept it."
As a member of the Suzuki family, she knew all too well how angry those high-ranking officials were.
Especially since the highlight moments that should have belonged to the Metropolitan Police Department were all snatched away by a high school detective; it would be strange if those high-ranking officials were happy.
"That guy Kudo, too."
"If he just wanted the thrill of solving those cases, he should have thrown the credit to the police."
"That way, he could have avoided running into so much trouble." ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
"In this regard, Uncle Kudo does a good job."
"When he goes to help solve some trouble, he acts as support and doesn't directly take the lead on the case."
Ren Amamiya, however, didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Still the same point.
"Suzuki, Kudo's life has been too smooth."
"He has had an exceptionally good brain since he was a child."
"Always proud, he only wants to show off his abilities."
"Only when he hits his head and knows the pain will he realize that things have become troublesome."
He had always known that Kudo's ability was strong. If he were in Kudo's shoes, and also a 16-year-old boy, he would also be unable to resist wanting to show off his abilities.
He himself only understood after his past life's realization that it is best for capable people not to reveal their trump cards casually.
Before one has absolute ability, one needs to leave a way out in all things.
Of course, if one possesses absolute ability, then whether or not to leave a way out is another matter.
"They're here."
His gaze locked onto a car parked behind those three.
Sonoko Suzuki looked over and also saw several cars already parked on the side of the street.
"Sure enough, they're fast."
It seems this matter is quite important.
If the news tomorrow reports that an Italian robbery gang shot civilians on the streets of Japan, then the entire Metropolitan Police Department's face will have been trampled into the dirt.
Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department's actions this time were indeed very swift.
The patrol police who stopped their cars on the side of the road were in plain clothes; this was to facilitate their patrol operations.
To put it bluntly, it was for situations like this.
Sometimes, one always faces various situations while on patrol; if all patrol teams were wearing police uniforms, it would be difficult to act in such situations.
The team for this operation consisted of experienced veteran detectives.
The detectives from both the front and back had already begun to slowly approach the target.
It wasn't just the detectives from the front and back; even in the alley, several older detectives had been arranged to coordinate the action.
Then.
"Bang!"
The few detectives who approached exchanged glances, understood each other instantly, and began their action directly.
They took out the police batons they had prepared long ago and aimed them directly at the heads of the suspected gang members.
With a heavy blow, one of the foreigners who was hit instantly felt dizzy and was knocked to the ground before he could react.
"!?"
This sudden turn of events left the other two stunned for a moment.
But before they could react, the other detectives who had been prepared long ago swarmed them.
"Don't move!"
Several police officers around had already drawn their guns and aimed them at the three people who had been subdued.
Other detectives used handcuffs to completely restrain the three.
Only after everything was completely done did the detectives begin to search the waists of the three.
Sure enough!
"It really is a pistol."
The detectives involved in the operation had very serious expressions.
The action just now was really dangerous; once these three gang members reacted, perhaps all the civilians on the entire street would have been the gang's targets.
