In Japan's patriarchal society, working women have a very low status.
Whether they are office workers or police officers, women are women, and in the end, they will still have to start a family and return home to support their husbands and raise their children.
This is the general view of Japanese men.
And when most people learn that Sato Miwako is a detective, their first reaction is surprise, surprised that there are even women in the detective division.
The second reaction is doubt: Is she really up to the task?
The third reaction is suspicion: Should we switch to a male detective? Male detectives are more reliable.
Lin Yi's analysis was not only logical and well-founded, but also implied deeper meaning.
Although he didn't directly say something like "Sato Miwako, you are a natural-born police officer."
He indirectly said that Sato Miwako was practically a police officer template.
This made Sato Miwako feel very comfortable, and a friendly smile appeared on her serious face.
Sato Miwako felt comfortable inside, so she naturally wanted to continue chatting with Lin Yi.
"What you said is indeed reasonable."
Sato Miwako sighed. "However, the proportion of female detectives among criminal investigators is really too small. Even if there are some, they are only responsible for clerical work. Those who work on the front lines like me… are very rare."
Among criminal investigators, the number of female detectives is very small, so much so that it would not be an exaggeration to call them endangered species. And among female detectives, those responsible for frontline work are even fewer, practically critically endangered.
But this is also something that can't be helped. After all, there are inherent physiological differences between men and women.
Under the same untrained conditions, men are naturally stronger than women. This is an undeniable fact.
When female detectives working on the front lines are chasing criminals, they will inevitably engage in physical conflict with the other party.
Women have more weaknesses. If they encounter criminals who specifically attack the chest, do you defend or not? If you don't defend, you can only be taken advantage of. If you do defend, the other party will take the opportunity to run away.
If a female detective is attacked by a criminal and her teammates don't provide timely support,
things could easily turn into a 'Secret Investigation Officer's Humiliation'.
Therefore, the number of female detectives engaged in frontline work is extremely rare.
Sato Miwako also knew that her feminine charm was insufficient, but there were really no suitable female detectives, so she could only bite the bullet and go.
Seeing this, Lin Yi realized that he had an opportunity to seize.
However, Lin Yi remained calm. He didn't directly say, 'Let me help you,' as that would hurt Sato Miwako's pride.
Why would he say that?
Because Lin Yi had told Sato Miwako last time that she could come to him if she encountered trouble.
But Lin Yi had been waiting for so long, and she had never called him.
From this, Lin Yi judged that Sato Miwako was a very strong-willed woman who would never easily ask for help.
Lin Yi continued to ask, "How many days have you been searching?"
"It's been two weeks… and there's still no progress."
Mentioning this, Sato Miwako felt a headache. "The higher-ups are urging us… but these things can't be done just by urging. If he doesn't make a move, what can we do?"
At this time, the value of high charm is reflected. Sato Miwako had only met Lin Yi twice before, and she had already started complaining to him about her work.
"That can't be helped. If we don't catch him soon, he will harm more girls," Lin Yi said.
"We know that too… but catching him isn't that easy… Eh? Wait—"
While racking her brains, Sato Miwako suddenly thought of something. She looked up at Lin Yi and smiled, "That's right… didn't you say last time that I could come to you if I encountered difficulties? Now the difficulty has come. Do you have a solution?"
After learning that Lin Yi didn't look down on female detectives, Sato Miwako's attitude towards him changed, and she was no longer so reluctant to ask him for help.
"A solution?"
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "I do have one… but this method requires your cooperation."
"Really?" Sato Miwako said with joy, "What method? As long as this method can catch the Mihu Flower Wolf, we will definitely cooperate fully."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "The method is very simple… treat the symptoms."
"Treat the symptoms?" Sato Miwako frowned.
Lin Yi said mysteriously, "You'll know tomorrow… Officer Sato, please get me more trackers."
"Trackers?" Sato Miwako was a little surprised. "How many do you want?"
"The more, the better."
… … … … … …
The next night.
Sato Miwako finally knew what Lin Yi meant by treating the symptoms, and why he wanted so many trackers.
Looking at the rows of fashionably dressed girls,
Sato Miwako felt a little shocked, and swallowed hard at the scale of the number.
Not only her, but the other detectives were also swallowing hard, their eyes wide open.
Some people even couldn't control their lewd gazes, looking at the girls' long legs and breasts.
"These… these 37 girls, where did you find them?"
Sato Miwako couldn't contain her curiosity and turned to ask Lin Yi.
"They are all friends I met at school. When they heard that they could help the police catch the Mihu Flower Wolf who harms girls, they volunteered to help."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he said to the 37 girls, "Right?"
"Yes. Helping the police catch bad guys is what I've always wanted to do in my life."
"Me too! I've already decided that after I finish high school, I'm going to police academy!"
"My dad is a police officer, so I want to be a police officer!"
"… … …"
These pretty girls echoed Lin Yi's words one after another.
In fact, they were all actresses Lin Yi had found from the extra group.
Lin Yi had told them about what they were going to do, and even the dangers they might face.
Those who were willing to come would get 50,000 yen per night, and an extra 100,000 yen if they were targeted by the Rice Flower Wolf.
The police were responsible for their safety, so they didn't have to worry… As for those who were still worried, they could just not come.
Anyway, there are plenty of pretty girls running around as extras these days.
Lin Yi had already told them the precautions, and whoever messed up wouldn't get their money.
Hearing their words made Miwako Sato very happy, feeling that there were many girls who still wanted to be like her, partners of justice.
Thinking of this, her heart warmed up at once.
Miwako Sato immediately made a guarantee to them: "Don't worry, we will definitely protect your personal safety! We will definitely not let you fall into danger!"
