Peerless Genius System

Chapter 590: Metropolitan Police Department.

Somehow, there was a connection between the two cases. Meaning, as long as Xiao Luo could locate the unlicensed black SUV and confirm its owner, then there would be a high probability that he could dig out the person ‘behind the scenes’. Of course, before that, he would have to go to the Aso family and ‘inquire’ about the situation. After all, the Aso family was the biggest suspect.

The next day, Gongqi Longjing arrived at around nine o’clock.

He was wearing yesterday’s jacket. In addition to the pungent smell of smoke, since he didn’t change clothes, it ‘naturally’ smelled.

Seeing that Xiao Luo was wearing casual clothes, he frowned and asked, “Xiao-san, you are going to meet the Director of our police station soon, aren’t you going to wear your Chinese police uniform?”

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows, “Why, do I need to wear it?”

He was not a real policeman and was not in a habit of wearing a police uniform.

“It’s formal to wear a police uniform.” Gongqi Longjing replied.

“Then why aren’t you wearing one yourself?” Xiao Luo asked.

“I…”

Gongqi Longjing originally wanted to say that it didn’t matter whether he wore it or not since he was going to retire soon, and everyone would choose to ignore him in the Metropolitan Police Department anyway. But in the end, he didn’t say anything. He slowly puffed out one mouthful of smoke, and looked at Xiao Luo with some appreciation. He patted Xiao Luo on the shoulder, smiled and didn’t speak again.

……

The Metropolitan Police Department was located at an intersection with a concave angle of 60 degrees. It was built on the inside of this concave angle, and had more than 20 floors. More than a dozen police cars were parked neatly in the courtyard outside the gate. After all, this was Tokyo, the capital and the largest city of Japan. The Metropolitan Police Department must look magnificent.

Xiao Luo walked into the hall with Gongqi Longjing and Kimura Akino. They then took the elevator to the fifteenth floor, passed a bright corridor and finally arrived at the office of the Director of the Metropolitan Police Department.

[Knock~Knock~Knock]

Kimura Akino knocked on the door. He was very careful in knocking, for fear that he would overdo it and it would seem impolite.

“Akino-kun, you’re knocking too lightly, the director might not hear it. Also, this would easily expose your low confidence and indecisiveness.”

Gongqi Longjing reprimanded in a superior tone, and said, “Get out of the way, I’ll do it!”

Xiao Luo was stunned. But he recovered and smiled. It seemed that this Gongqi Longjing was indeed an excellent policeman. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to see a person’s personality by a simple action such as knocking on the door. He was clearly experienced in observing subtleties.

Moreover, the way he knocked on the door also showed his confidence and competence.

A light knock meant that the other party was nervous.

A quick and thunderous knock meant the knocker was impatient.

A rhythmic knock would give people a down-to-earth feeling, indicating that the knocker was a quiet person.

A dry and boring knocking mostly likely meant that the knocker was depressed. Or simply uninterested.

A slow knock could mean someone vain.

“Please come in!”

Hearing a steady and powerful voice coming from inside, Gongqi Longjing pushed open the door and went in.

Xiao Luo and Kimura Akino followed, and when they entered, they saw a man with round glasses and an age similar to Gongqi Longjing sitting behind a desk. Despite his hair now being half white, he still looked very spirited. He was not overweight, and was moderately thin. He was wearing a light blue police uniform with five stars on his epaulettes, signifying his identity—Director of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Other than the director, there was also a policewoman in the office.

The woman’s hair was dyed light brown, and bangs covered her forehead. She looked well-put together, and her facial features were exquisite, giving off an overall pleasing feelings to the eye.

“Longjing-san, why aren’t you wearing a police uniform while coming to work?!”

The Director frowned and was very dissatisfied with Gongqi Longjing. “You are also an old man now. So you have to set an example for young people. Even if you want to retire, you must stand firm in your position till the last seconds. Moreover, since the missing Chinese people case was handed over to you, please do it well. Otherwise, even if I want to give you a little more pension, there is nothing I can do.”

Gongqi Longjing was a veteran himself.

And as he faced the Director, his expression did not change at all. He simply introduced Xiao Luo to the Director, “Director, this is Xiao Han, a first-class police chief from China!”

When he heard this, the Director put aside his bad mood. He stood up and walked to the front from behind the desk, asking in Chinese, “Xiao Han?”

Xiao Luo said, “Yes, it is Xiao Han.”

“Hello, hello, welcome.”

The Director immediately held Xiao Luo’s hand and warmly welcomed him. “I am Tanaka Hiroshi. Welcome to Tokyo. I didn’t expect Xiao-san to speak Japanese so well. It seems that we don’t need to find an interpreter to communicate with each other.”

Xiao Luo smiled and nodded. To be honest, he was not at all indifferent towards Japanese people. But because of the deep-rooted national hatred that had always influenced him all his life, his smile was not wholehearted.

“Akino-kun, go summon the Heads of the Ministry of Public Security and the Criminal Department. I will introduce them to Xiao-san.” Tanaka Hiroshi ordered.

Gongqi Longjing suddenly interjected, “Introduce what? There is nothing to introduce. He’s here to supervise and investigate the case of the missing people. As soon as the case is solved, he will take his leave. Is it necessary to know so many people?”

“Longjing, what are you saying? You’re already at this age yet you still act like a fool. Did you come to my office to teach me and smoke? Are you not putting me in your eyes?” Tanaka Hiroshi was furious.

“Ah no, that is not what I mean Director, how can I dare not put you in my eye.” Gongqi Longjing lowered himself and also snuffed the cigarette.

Tanaka Hiroshi bitterly said, “You are still a patrol minister and aren’t even thinking of making progress despite your actual ability.” He then turned his head and put up a smile to Xiao Luo. “Xiao-san, Longjing-san’s temperament is a little bad, but his ability to handle cases is unquestionable. Moreover, the other Levels are going to help with the case. This missing people case will soon be resolved and those missing will be rescued safely.”

Xiao Luo’s brow wrinkled. He felt like he was listening to a pile of bullsh*t.

Everyone has been kidnapped and missing. The longer you delay the rescue, the more danger they can possibly be in.

If he really meant what he was saying, then he should’ve done it already —not just talk about it now. At least now they had some leads regarding the case.

Just then, the policewoman stood up. She took the initiative to extend her hand to Xiao Luo, and introduced herself, “Hello, Xiao Han-san, I am the person in charge of Level-3, my name is Aso Shuyao!”

Aso Shuyao? Aso family?

Xiao Luo looked at her in disbelief. He also held out his hand and shook hands with her politely.

“Hello.”
