"My Headquarters Director Father"

"Then let's forget about it."

Hattori Heiji clicked his tongue and sighed, "Grandpa, are you sending me to my death...?"

What else could he say?

Let alone catching drug dealers, even transnational criminal organizations would be in serious trouble if he were to do it, not to mention his many outrageous achievements.

He wasn't envious of Fujino's success at all; it was all earned through hard work. If it were him, he would have died countless times.

"..."

Fujino glanced at Hattori Heiji speechlessly.

This guy even wants to compete for things like being an advisor.

But is it really okay to be so blatant?

"My District Chief Father"?

No, it should be called "My X-Father"?

To be precise, it should be "My Chief Father".

To some extent, Hattori Heizo's power was definitely greater than that of the T-chief.

Although they are both provincial-level units, Japan's Japan level has extremely strong autonomy, and it is in charge of almost the entire police force in Osaka.

In other words, he's the local tyrant of the Osaka police.

Hattori Heiji, on the other hand, is the son of an Osaka police officer.

In a way, Hattori Heiji is also a second-generation police superintendent!

As for consultants, there's really no need for them.

Once he graduates tomorrow, this guy will be the successor to the future police chief.

"Hey, Heiji, shouldn't we be going?"

At that moment, Toyama Kazuha, dressed in a light green halter-neck dress, walked over.

She was clearly stunned for a moment when she saw Fujino.

Just yesterday, she overheard Hattori Heiji making a phone call, saying things like, "Are you alone right now?" "Did you give yourself away?" "If it's inconvenient, I'll call you back later."

Immediately, she connected the dots to something very bad.

This guy has a woman on the side!

And it's possible that the other party is a married woman!

She glanced at Fujino hesitantly.

Could it be that Heiji hit him?

After thinking for a moment, she impatiently called out, "Ran and the others called to say they've arrived in Osaka."

"Oh!"

Hattori Heiji responded.

"They've come too?"

Fujino frowned upon hearing this.

"Yes, I invited them to the opening party of a restaurant owned by three well-known athletes from the United States."

Hattori Heiji turned around and explained, "Actually, I originally invited my dad and mom, but they both happened to have a cold, so I invited Uncle Mori's family instead."

"I see..."

Fujino twitched his chin upon hearing this.

It seems to be the storyline from the Osaka K3 incident.

He almost forgot that the escorting of the suspect and this part of the plot were connected...

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Fujino looked at Hattori Heiji and said calmly, "So you invited Mouri-niisan's family, why didn't you think of inviting me?"

"Well..."

Hattori Heiji.

Actually, he had considered inviting Fujino to come along.

Mainly, he felt that Fujino wouldn't be attracted to this kind of party...

All right!

He immediately thought of his old friend Kudo Shinichi, completely forgetting about Fujino.

"..."

Kazuha, standing to the side, frowned, sensing that things were getting complicated.

It wasn't called for him; he doesn't even know about it...

He really does have a woman!

Why are you so nervous?

Fujino chuckled lightly, "I have no interest in that party, and besides, I have to escort the suspect back to Tokyo, where would I find the time?"

"Call..."

Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief.

He dared not imagine what kind of revenge Fujino might take against him.

Others might be careful when it comes to revenge, but Fujino just pulls the coffin lid off his grave. You never know whether personal vendetta or a pleasant surprise will come first to this seemingly harmless guy.

"Speaking of time, perhaps there really is a time frame."

Hattori Heizo nearby, spoke up, "Although the handover procedures have been completed, we still want to continue interrogating that guy. After all, the detention period has not expired yet, and we want to extract some useful information from him."

After a pause, Hattori Heizo raised his wrist to check the time. "The detention period is tomorrow morning. During this time, Fujino- kun can go to the opening ceremony and help keep an eye on my son."

Hattori Heiji: "???"

Damn it, Harden, you screwed me over!

Where can you find a dad who plants a time bomb in his son?

Fujino: "..."

Are you all using me as a whetstone to hone your own kids, like someone else's child?

Superintendent General Hakuba pulled this stunt, and now the Osaka boss is doing the same thing? You bunch of Japan bureaucrats are really something else!

Why not just change the name from "Imperial Brother" to "Royal Whetstone"?

"Takagi, Officer Sato?"

Fujino turned around and asked for their opinions.

After all, he was here to escort a suspect, and it would be against protocol if he went to a party or something in the middle of the trip.

"It doesn't matter."

Since the chief had spoken, Sato Miwako couldn't say much more, "The two of us will participate in the interrogation first, and if we tell Inspector Megure, we can go back tomorrow morning."

"That's good..."

Fujino nodded, then turned to Hattori Heizo: "But Superintendent General Hattori, if you stay here for one night, you'll probably have to stay in a hotel... Could you reimburse that expense? After all, the Metropolitan Police Department's operating budget is quite tight."

"Of course, no problem."

As the department head, Hattori Heizo felt that this was a minor matter.

"That's good. But as expected of the Osaka Headquarters, their operational funding is much more abundant than that of our individual investigation department."

Fujino smiled, his expression bright and cheerful.

Reimbursement, you said it!

Since the Tokyo headquarters is short of funds, the Osaka Headquarters should have enough, right?

Since he has money, then don't blame him for using public funds to enjoy himself.

Hattori Heizo: "..."

Why does this kid's smile seem a little off?

However, Fujino is still happy to go and attend such gatherings.

After all, it's a high-end occasion, and the people who go there are definitely not ordinary people.

As for why Hattori Heizo didn't go... it's actually quite easy to understand.

Such occasions are not suitable for someone of his department head level. Just like a grand opening banquet in the entertainment industry, how could the local National Police Agency possibly attend?

That's way too arrogant of him.

In comparison, it would be much more reasonable to send Hattori Heiji. He could make many connections and allow more people to get to know the son of the department head.

All I can say is that none of these old foxes are simple.

Fujino Hattori Heiji acted together and headed to the hotel to meet up with the Mori group who had just arrived.

The group then headed to the K3 Restaurant.

K3 Restaurant is more accurately described as a hotel than a restaurant.

The building has more than ten floors, and five of the windows are exposed on top of the K3 sign at the entrance.

The building can be described as extremely luxurious.

At the entrance of K3 Restaurant, various media reporters had already gathered, and many well-known celebrities were also entering the restaurant one after another.
