After the Undercover System Went Haywire, I Switched to Grinding Suspicion Points Chapter 214

Usuha Izuki held his phone and pondered for a mont.

Soone calling him at this ti... First, he ruled out illegal organizations and legitimate yakuza organizations.

Such organizations were quite cautious. Even if they wanted to recruit, they'd wait a while to see his next moves, wait for soone to test the waters and observe his attitude. They wouldn't be this impatient.

Moreover, his phone number wasn't sothing just anyone could easily obtain. He'd worked at Criminal Investigation Division One for two years, and not even every colleague had his contact information. If soone wanted to trace it, they could always find the source. That ant whoever was recruiting him now was at least an organization that could be explained on the surface.

However, although Usuha Izuki had his guesses, it didn't stop him from continuing to act.

Usuha Izuki directly stated the most impossible option: "Sumiyoshi Group?"

The other side: "...No, I..."

"FBI?"

The other side: "Also not..."

What was wrong with this guy?! Why was his first reaction to recruitnt these organizations?!

You could have at least guessed Japanese Public Security!

Although he'd always known Samukawa Shinryu's situation was quite delicate with plenty of rumors surrounding him, only after real contact did he discover that those rumors definitely couldn't exist without Samukawa Shinryu's own efforts!

If Samukawa Shinryu had guessed Japanese Public Security first, he wouldn't feel this awkward!

He couldn't let the other party continue guessing, or his worldview might not survive. The caller quickly seized the conversational gap to introduce himself.

"I'm Kumano Yasunori. I was also a detective in Criminal Investigation Division One before, but like you, I resigned a few years ago. Now I've opened an investigation company and beco a private detective."

This forr Criminal Investigation Division One elite detective showed so pride when he reached this point.

"I've heard about Samukawa-kun's achievents before and deeply admire them. I just considered that while you were still a detective, it wouldn't be appropriate to ntion invitations... Now hearing that Samukawa-kun chose to resign at such a young age, I imagine you might not quite fit with so of the tropolitan Police's rules. But your talents would be too wasted in other work, so why not consider my company... I've achieved so success in the industry. Samukawa-kun can inquire about —perhaps my place would suit you better than the tropolitan Police."

"Mm, I understand." Usuha Izuki responded coolly, like an HR person facing hundreds of resus daily confronted with new self-recomndations, emphasizing indifference.

However, forr detective Kumano Yasunori didn't mind his attitude. He chatted maturely for a few sentences without more nonsense and hung up straightforwardly.

System: [A forr detective turned private investigator. Speaking of which, Mouri Kogoro is the sa—stopped being a detective and beca a private investigator... No wonder this world has so many detectives.]

Usuha Izuki: [Actually I considered whether to beco a detective after resigning... Being an advisor doesn't affect part-ti work either. Why don't I go check it out?]

He had no intention of accepting, but was quite interested in referencing this senior's operations.

But who was this person? Actually being the first to co recruit him—was he that confident?

If he was a company president, could he be a murder victim from so episode? After all, company presidents in this world had a sowhat high mortality rate... But he had no impression at all.

Usuha Izuki called Inspector gure with so confusion to inquire.

Yes, although he'd played disappearing and made his forr superior Inspector gure anxious, when he encountered sothing, he'd still righteously seek out Inspector gure for intelligence.

Inspector gure was first delighted to receive the call: "Samukawa-kun! Have you decided so quickly?"

The suspicion that he might not accept the advisor position could indeed farm so suspicion value, but so little it was negligible. Usuha Izuki was too lazy to spend effort on it, so he was sowhat honest: "More or less, but I'm not calling about that this ti."

Inspector gure was stunned, then his expression beca serious and his voice lowered: "Samukawa-kun, have you encountered another case?"

Samukawa Shinryu could encounter strange cases even during work hours. Now that he'd resigned and was outside, without his police identity, he might encounter even more troubleso situations...

Inspector gure was already prepared to rescue him.

So you see, if Samukawa Shinryu ca back as an advisor, he'd still be police, making it more convenient to handle such troubles!

Fortunately, Usuha Izuki quickly explained: "No, I wanted to ask if you know soone nad Kumano Yasunori?"

"Oh, Kumano. I do know him..." Inspector gure said halfway before suddenly understanding: "Wait, did he recruit you to join his company?"

"Yes."

Without needing Usuha Izuki to ask more, Inspector gure began worriedly explaining: "Kumano... When he was a police officer, he did quite well. He was best at reading micro-expressions, and if he wanted to get along with soone, few people would dislike him. But after his wife died, his personality beca extre. Fortunately he realized the problem and chose to resign before causing trouble, then opened that investigation company to do private detective work."

Up to this point, it was just a normal process of detective career change, nothing particularly worrying.

But then Inspector gure began revealing more: "It's not that I want to speak ill of others, but Kumano... he's really gone astray."

Inspector gure tactfully described what Kumano Yasunori had done after resigning.

Simply put, he had no professional ethics.

For example, when a politician's wife commissioned him to investigate the politician's affair, he'd imdiately tip off the politician and sell him a favor... roughly these kinds of operations. Used repeatedly, he accumulated many favors and leverage, including even high-ranking police officials.

Reportedly he'd done many illegal things and even seed connected to certain illegal organizations, with so of his subordinates being forr yakuza mbers who'd served their sentences... It was just that regarding his personal illegal criminal behavior, police had never found evidence.

As a forr colleague, Inspector gure found it quite difficult to say these things, his mood very complex.

Especially with Kumano Yasunori running to invite Samukawa Shinryu... Inspector gure even felt angry.

Samukawa Shinryu had always worked so hard to be a good police officer, enduring so many misunderstandings to struggle into Police Academy. Even though he hated getting up early so much, he still persisted for two years before finally giving up. How easy was that?!

How difficult it was!

Yet Kumano Yasunori, at this ti, wanted to make Samukawa Shinryu's years of effort worthless, turning him into soone like himself, doing those false and potentially illegal things?!

Kumano Yasunori had probably seen Samukawa Shinryu and thought they were the sa type, which was why he made such an invitation.

But what a joke!

Samukawa Shinryu wasn't that kind of person at all!

Although he might look more like soone who'd go down that path than the righteous-faced Kumano Yasunori, Inspector gure, after years of interaction, believed Samukawa Shinryu's willpower was far stronger than Kumano Yasunori, who lost even his sense of justice after his wife's death.

Samukawa Shinryu, who had endured so much discrimination since childhood yet still steadily beca a police officer, was definitely not the kind of person Kumano Yasunori thought he was.

Inspector gure didn't advise Samukawa Shinryu against joining. After explaining Kumano Yasunori's situation, he said: "Consider his invitation carefully. More than that, have you agreed to be an advisor? If so, I'll help you with the procedures!"

Usuha Izuki casually responded: "I agreed."

Inspector gure's irritation from Kumano Yasunori was instantly healed.

He said repeatedly: "Good, good, good! I'll go tell Chief Odagiri right away! The chief has always thought highly of you—it's wonderful that you're willing to co back!"

With the Japanese tropolitan Police's work efficiency, this Special Advisor position would take at least a month to process, so Usuha Izuki could continue enjoying his happy vacation.

Anyway, he had nothing else to do, and Akai Shuichi's side also needed ti to discuss with FBI people. So following his original plan, he went to visit Kumano Yasunori's investigation company. If he ever got bored and wanted to open a detective agency, he could have a reference.

Thus, a few days later, busy Inspector gure received a call from Usuha Izuki.

"Inspector, do you rember Kumano Yasunori?"

Inspector gure: "I rember. You just asked about him a few days ago. My mory isn't that bad... What's wrong?"

"He killed soone."

Inspector gure: "..........."

—Who gave Kumano the courage to recruit Samukawa while committing murder right under Samukawa's nose?! Did he really think Samukawa was the type who wouldn't care about such things?!
