Chapter 5: Nobuko Ando

"Hey, Xiu Yikun, good morning!"

"Good morning!

Lin Xiuyi was leisurely brewing his specialty American black coffee, but Section Chief Matsuda came over uninvited with a coffee cup.

"I'm making coffee, it tastes so good!"

"Would you like to have a drink too, I just brewed a lot of it today, and there are a lot left!"

"That's great, it's a shame to waste such a good coffee!"

Mr. Matsuda unceremoniously picked up the coffee pot on the table and poured himself a cup. After Lin Xiuyi took a sip of the coffee he had made, he casually put the cup on the table, and then picked up today's newspaper to pass the time.

"Have you heard?" Section Chief Matsuda didn't mean to leave at all with his coffee, but instead stood behind Lin Xiuyi, tilting his body to look at the newspaper Lin Xiuyi was holding in his hand.

"What did you hear?" Lin Xiu asked puzzled.

"What else could it be?" said Section Chief Matsuda, who suddenly lowered his voice, and then leaned down and continued in a low voice:

"Of course, it's Shoji Kuroda who escaped from prison, he's a dangerous person, and it's said that Nobuko Ando of the Public Safety Committee will make a special trip next door today to hear our search plan. The Search Section and the Public Security General Affairs Section are busy now......"

"Nani, Nani, will you also participate in the arrest of Shoji Kuroda this time, this is the time when our special search department finally has a chance to get ahead!"

Miki, who was originally listless sitting at the workstation opposite Lin Xiuyi, immediately came to her senses when she heard the news. Lin Xiuyi shook his head helplessly, and then said to Section Chief Matsuda:

"It's better not to do it, even the congressmen and the public security have intervened in this matter, and it is probably not comfortable to learn a lesson!"

"If I were Junichi Oiwa, it would be better to retire early, hey!" Section Chief Matsuda finished his coffee, and then patted Lin Xiuichi on the shoulder and left. Lin Xiuyi didn't mean to get up and send him off at all. Ever since that day he showed his unique skill of brewing coffee, Section Chief Matsuda has become a frequent visitor to the special search department. Basically, every morning, I will come to the special search department on time to drink coffee. At the beginning, Lin Xiuyi still had the respect of his subordinates for his superiors, but after a long time, he got used to it. Section Chief Matsuda doesn't have much of a fight.,Now even Miki dares to joke with Section Chief Matsuda.,It seems that Section Chief Matsuda seems to use the special search department as a place to relax between work.。

Lin Xiu watched Matsuda take a long look, and then turned on the computer and searched for Kuroda Shoji's information on the Internet.

……

At this very moment, in the conference room on the top floor of the building next to the Metropolitan Police Department, Junichi Oiwa, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division 1, the head of the Public Security General Affairs Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kazuko Fuyujima, and other high-level officials from the National Police Agency, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Ministry of Justice gathered again to discuss how to deal with the crisis after Shoji Kuroda's escape.

Sitting at the head of the oval table was none other than Congressman Nobuko Ando, whom Matsuda had mentioned. He was one of the five members of the Public Safety Committee and could be said to be the top boss of all the bureaucrats here, while Nobuko Ando was only in her forties.

In the RB political system, politicians and bureaucrats are two different concepts entirely. Politicians are special civil servants elected through electoral activities, while bureaucrats are ordinary civil servants elected through civil service examinations. Politicians generally have their own partisan background, while the bureaucracy is not allowed to join any party. To make a simple analogy, the bureaucracy in the RB is like the machine that drives the state, and the politician is the one who runs the machine. Because of the election, it is not always the same person who operates the machine, but there is always only one machine. This is also the reason why Nobuko Ando, although she has no experience in the police, can become the leader of the RB police.

"According to our preliminary investigation of the scene, we have basically grasped the details of the entire incident. At around 9:30 a.m. yesterday, Shoji Kuroda, a prisoner serving a sentence in the Tokyo Detention Center, entered the bathroom alone and suddenly plunged a sharp toothbrush into his abdomen. At that time, a prisoner and a criminal officer immediately discovered Kuroda's behavior. After an initial examination of Shoji Kuroda's injuries, the Tokyo Detention Center urgently contacted Tokyo Central Hospital......"

"An ambulance from Tokyo Central Hospital arrived at the Tokyo Detention Center at around 9:48 a.m., and before that, the detention center had already performed simple hemostasis and debridement work for Shoji Kuroda. As soon as the ambulance arrived, Shoji Kuroda was put into the ambulance, and at about 9:50 a.m., the ambulance from Tokyo Central Hospital left the Tokyo detention center. At that time, in addition to the medical staff, there were two criminal officers in the ambulance. ”

However, just as the ambulance was driving near the Arakawa Bridge on the Mukaijima Line, it was suddenly attacked by Kuroda's accomplices. The ambulance was first forced to stop on the left side of the bridge by a truck, and then a minibus with a Shinagawa license plate blocked the ambulance's retreat. ”

According to the recollections of the criminal officers who witnessed the entire scene, a total of six masked assailants were involved in the escape, snatched some necessary first-aid supplies from the ambulance, and then carried Kuroda away on a stretcher. In the process, one of the criminal officers at the scene unfortunately died in the line of duty because of resistance......"

Junichi Oiwa, the head of the search section, reported all the findings so far to the bigwigs present. Nobuko Ando listened to Junichi Oiwa's report expressionlessly. Then he said to the people:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you know better than I do the dangers of Shoji Kuroda. More than 20 years ago, when the Doomsday Trial Organization was successfully dismantled, the Third Public Security Division intercepted a top-secret piece of information. As an important cadre of the Doomsday Trial, Shoji Kuroda purchased about a ton of Semtex-1A explosives from the Vietnamese, the main components of which were PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) and RDX (cyclotrimonium methyltrinitrate, also known as), and Semtin 1A was an early model without an explosives tracer, and even highly trained explosive search dogs could not detect this explosive. We have been searching for the whereabouts of these explosives for 20 years, which is why the Ministry of Justice has not approved the death penalty for Shoji Kuroda. Now that Shoji Kuroda has escaped from our control, according to information from the Public Security General Affairs Division, it is very likely that the remnants of the Doomsday Judgment will reactivate this batch of Semtin Type 1A explosives. As long as Kuroda doesn't fall back into our hands for a day, this batch of Semtin 1A explosives could explode at any time......"
