"Megure, are you familiar with Minister Sato?"
After the greetings were over, Matsumoto Kiyoyama lowered his voice and spoke to Inspector Megure.
"Huh? Brother Sato? He helped us solve several cases, and his deductive skills are incredible. Chief, you called him minister—what department is he from? The Health Management Headquarters, the Communications Command Headquarters, or the Driver's License Headquarters?"
Inspector Megure came back to his senses then, recalling that during the billion-yen bank robbery case not long ago, the chief of the Forensic Science Division had also seemed quite favorable toward Brother Sato.

His sister, Sato Miwako, had already reached the rank of Assistant Inspector and could be trained as his successor. It would not surprise him in the slightest if Brother Sato held the rank of Superintendent.
