Chapter 60: New Plans

"You are welcome to come to our Residents' Meeting, and when the meeting is over, I would like to ask you to fill out this questionnaire!"

The next morning, at the Shinjuku Ward Hall. Officers from the Shinjuku Ward Central Police Station are warmly welcoming the residents of Kabukicho who are arriving one after another. This meeting was held by the current Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency, so the scale of the meeting was unusual. Perhaps it is for this reason that many residents living in this area have also come here to see this senior Metropolitan Police Department bureaucrat in his twenties.

As the time for the memory meeting approached, Keiko, who was meeting with Lin Shuichi in the lounge, suddenly asked him about the progress of the investigation into the escape from the Tokyo Detention Center in Katsushika Ward a while ago.

"Shuichi-kun, how is the investigation of Shoji Kuroda's case...... Any new clues?"

Hearing that Jingzi really asked about the case, Lin Xiuyi pondered for a while, and then explained to Jingzi seriously:

"I'm really sorry, but we haven't made any progress on the whereabouts of Shoji Kuroda and the other suspects involved in the case yet, but ...... We were reminded by that video, so we investigated some of the relevant circumstances of former Congressman Saishi Hojo, and we found that whether it was the murder at the Ginza Imperial Hotel that led to the imprisonment of Saishi Hojo twenty years ago, or the experience of Saishi Hojo dying in prison, there are many doubts about it. For example, in the case twenty years ago, the murderer Hojo Kishi erased all the fingerprints of the victims in the room, but only left one of his own fingerprints, and it was not easy to be negligent at the switch.

……

Hearing Lin Xiuichi suddenly mention the name Hojo Qishi, Keiko's heart couldn't help but be touched. It was the softest scar in her heart, and the one she didn't want to be mentioned!

"Chief Cabinet Minister, Chief Cabinet Minister!"

"I'm sorry, I thought of something else, ah...... Whew!"

Just when Lin Xiuyi pulled Jingzi back from her memories, I saw her gently raise her hand, covertly wipe the tears that had not yet fallen from the corners of her eyes, and then smiled a little and said to Lin Xiuyi:

"I didn't expect you to be so careful, Lin Police Department! Even the case from twenty years ago was investigated so carefully!"

"There, you've really won the prize, I'm just trying to figure out Shoji Kuroda's motives for doing this!"

……

Just as Jingzi was talking to Lin Xiuyi, his secretary suddenly walked up to Jingzi's side, and then reminded her:

"Chief Cabinet Secretary, the residents are almost all here, ...... you now?"

"Ah...... Xiu Yijun, let's talk later!"

When Jingzi finished saying this, he immediately got up and stood up from his seat, and when Lin Xiuyi saw this, he also hurriedly got up and went to Jingzi's luggage, until Jingzi walked past him, Lin Xiuyi straightened up and came again, following behind the other party.

……

"Next, welcome to the National Police Agency's Chief Cabinet Chief, Ms. Keiko Nagao!"

As the police staff in the venue introduced Jingzi's identity to the residents present, many residents were immediately surprised to see a very young, but very generous lady coming to the venue, and then stood on the stage and bowed deeply to everyone in the audience.

……

"Good young ......"

"I remember her, the last time she was on TV on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department she apologized to the little girl who couldn't walk, she ...... What a bureaucrat who can make a difference!"

"Yes, not only are people beautiful, but the most important thing is that they don't have that feeling of being on top!...... This kind of good-looking and talented woman is really enviable!"

……

With Jingzi's appearance, there was a small discussion in the audience. And when Jingzi saw this situation, she just felt strange in her heart. I saw her smile and be silent for a moment, and then enthusiastically said to everyone present:

"Thank you very much for your hard work to participate in today's meeting. In the lower Nagao Keiko, it is a bureaucrat of the National Police Agency. In recent years, the crime rate in the Shinjuku Kabukicho area has been increasing year by year, which has caused a lot of trouble. Colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department felt guilty about this. So...... In order to be able to change the security situation in the region. We have put in place some new initiatives to improve the security situation in Kabukicho, and now...... I'd love to hear what you think?"

"Excuse me...... What kind of new initiative is that?"

"Uh...... It is about strengthening the management of business contents in the Kabukicho area...... The Metropolitan Police Department will join hands with the Shinjuku Central Police Station to strengthen the crackdown on illegal customs in the Shinjuku Kabukicho area in the near future. ”

……

I heard that the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency suddenly said that he would strengthen the crackdown on illegal customs and customs. Many of the residents present exploded at once.

"Wait a minute, may I ask if there will be many police officers on the streets of Kabukicho? If that's the case, we really won't be able to do business!"

"It's just that business is already very bad now. I didn't expect that even the police would want to get involved, how can I live this day!"

……

Hearing the discussion of the residents in the audience, Keiko did not show any surprise. Instead, she kept smiling and waited for everyone to quiet down.

……

When many residents present complained for a while, Jingzi stretched out her hand, pulled the microphone in front of her, and then said to everyone in the audience in a serious tone:

"I'm sorry, I think...... You may have misunderstood me!"

"The starting point for the intensification of the crackdown on illegal customs in the Shinjuku Kabukicho area is to protect shopkeepers like you who are law-abiding and honest!"

"People wonder why business in Kabukicho has become worse and worse over the years, and public security has become worse and worse. The reason is that some businesses are reluctant to use legitimate business methods to operate their own stores, but instead focus on how to break through the restrictions of the Metropolitan Police Department and collude with extremist organizations to eliminate dissent. As a result, the bad money will drive out the good money, and the life of the merchants in Kabukicho who are engaged in the legal and social business will only become more and more difficult, and we at the National Police Agency have now formulated this plan to change this situation. ”
