第1042話: Wild Police Story Case Hagiwara Kenjiは警官の自動車への情熱とキャリアへの動機を探る。

1042

Furuya, Date, Matsuda, and Morobushi are gathered at a party. Date has a girlfriend, but Hagiwara offers to pay for her drinks, so she joins the party as a headcount. Then Hagiwara arrives late, saying that he was late because he was helping his grandmother on the way to the party. The second party is to go to a karaoke bar, but by then Hagiwara is on his own. The next day, while the five of them are cleaning up, an "RX-7FD3S" enters the police academy. Emerging from the car was instructor Onizuka. Hagiwara, who was extremely interested in the car, made an enthusiastic speech that overwhelmed the Onizuka instructor. However, this is not Onizuka's car, but the beloved car of a senior detective who died in the line of duty. The senior detective's daughter is aspiring to become a detective and is keeping it with her until then. During the heavy equipment training that followed, the topic of conversation turned to Hagiwara's condition earlier. Hagiwara's family had a car repair shop, so he was apparently familiar with cars. Their childhood friend, Matsuda, had also been in the Hagiwara family factory, and they were good at tinkering with machinery. Hagiwara said, "I really wanted to take over the factory, but as soon as the business was going well and they added more stores, the economy took a turn for the worse and the factory went under. In contrast, the police never go bankrupt," he says, which is why he decided to become a police officer. After the heavy equipment training, a man approached Hagiwara and Matsuda. The man saw how good they were at their job and said, "I want to scout you for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit. Matsuda immediately replies that he is interested, but Hagiwara refuses, saying that he needs to think about it once. Being in the same department as his friend Matsuda and being able to tinker with the machines he likes--this is appealing to Hagiwara, but there seems to be some reason for his reluctance.
