Chapter 7: Clues, Traps?
The three of them sat around the warm kotatsu and enjoyed the sukiyaki cooked with Matsusaka beef. Keiko felt that today's dinner was the most comfortable meal she had since coming to Tokyo. It's not because of Matsusaka beef, but even if it's the best A5-grade Matsuban beef, Keiko can often eat it because of her work. What Keiko really likes is the atmosphere where everyone can sit around the kotatsu and enjoy the food freely, as if eating with the family.
After the meal, everyone stayed in Miko's room and chatted until almost twelve o'clock. When Keiko returned home, she put away the bath water, then took off her clothes and soaked her body in the warm hot water, and under the effect of buoyancy, the whole person seemed to become relaxed. She closed her eyes, leaned her head on the pillow cushion of the bathtub, and recalled the experience of today's whole day, it had been a long time since she was so relaxed as today, she didn't have to worry about things at work, she was unrestrained, and she felt that the whole day was very fulfilling.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
The vibrating sound of the mobile phone suddenly broke Jingzi's memory, she picked up the mobile phone placed on the utility shelf next to the bathtub, glanced at the caller ID on the mobile phone, and the whole person suddenly woke up!
"Teacher...... Now?...... I know...... Okay, I'll go right away!"
After Keiko hung up the phone, she immediately got up from the bathtub, rinsed off the soap foam on her body with a shower, and then hurriedly wiped off the water stains on her body......
Fifteen minutes later, Keiko ran down the stairs in a professional suit and her slightly conservative briefcase, where a taxi had been waiting for a long time. Jingzi trotted into the warm car, and then said anxiously to the driver:
"Please send me to Sakurada Gate RB Police Department as soon as possible, thank you ......"
It was late at night, and there weren't many moving vehicles on the streets. It was only a twenty-kilometer drive from Kichijoji to Sakurada Gate, most of which was a completely closed city expressway, and after seventeen minutes, Keiko finally arrived at the National Police Department.
"Mr. Nagao, you're finally here!"
As soon as Keiko got out of the taxi, several subordinates immediately ran over, and Keiko didn't have time to pay for the taxi, so she followed these people to the police department, and one subordinate stayed behind to pay the driver.
"How's the situation with Mr. Ando?" asked Keiko anxiously.
"The deployment has just been completed, and the Public Security General Affairs Division has also received information temporarily, and the Metropolitan Police Department has just sent a special emergency force from the First Garrison Division to surround it, and no trace of Shoji Kuroda has been found yet......" Keiko involuntarily quickened her pace, and the subordinate who was in charge of reporting to her hurriedly followed and explained the situation in front of her. Keiko asked these subordinates a few more important questions, and everyone walked into the elevator and went directly to the special conference room on the top floor of the police department.
After stepping out of the elevator, everyone fell silent. Jingzi took a deep breath, then sorted out her appearance and walked alone to the conference room facing the elevator door. And Keiko's subordinates all consciously stood in the corner, quietly waiting for the end of the meeting.
Keiko came to the door of the conference room, and the blue-uniformed policeman who was guarding outside the door saluted Keiko, and then respectfully opened the door to the conference room for her.
Keiko walked slowly into the venue, which was very spacious, with a huge rectangular conference table in the center, and a soft wool carpet on the floor, so that she would not feel tired even if she stepped on it in high heels. The conference table is flanked by a huge screen and a background wall with the National Police Agency logo hanging from the front and back. On the flag shelf in the corner are the RB flag and the blue flag of the National Police Agency.
Sitting under the background wall is one of the five members of the Public Safety Committee, Nobuko Ando, a member of the House of Representatives. Although it was almost two o'clock in the night, Nobuko Ando didn't look tired at all. Although he is a woman, he has the momentum of not losing to men. With a good figure and well-maintained skin, Nobuko Ando exudes the unique temperament of a mature woman, but these men present dare not think anything wrong, this woman has both feminine charm and rights that do not belong to men. The gold eleven-petal chrysanthemum coat of arms pinned to her neckline is a good indication of her unshakable position here.
Keiko walked straight to the right hand of Nobuko Ando and sat down, she opened the folder on the table, took a general look at the contents, and then asked the high-level police officers present:
"What is the source of the intelligence for this operation? Could it be a trap?"
"Kuroda's intelligence was obtained from within the Vietnamese arms organization by our Public Security Division 3, which had received a call from a strong, reputable client a few days earlier. The other side intends to order dozens of tons of Semtin Type 1A explosives in one go. According to the information provided by the United States, Vietnam is the country with the largest amount of Semtin 1A explosives in the world, and Vietnam's arms organizations have a large stockpile of Semtin-1A explosives, which are conservatively estimated to be about 1,000 tons......
The person in charge of the Public Security Department of the National Police Agency gave a detailed account of the discovery of Kuroda's traces, and if Kuroda can be successfully caught this time, it means that the irreparable fatal mistake made by the Ministry of Justice will be made up by the National Police Agency, and it will definitely be a great opportunity for the National Police Agency to be able to trample the Ministry of Justice under the feet in front of important members of the ruling party. This not only means that there will be more financial allocations, but it also means that the National Police Agency can use the National Police Agency as a political pedal for legislators more comfortably than the Ministry of Justice. Especially those political tyrants, if they are willing to become the top officials of the police system, their resources will definitely give the bureaucrats of the police system an enviable place to go after retirement.
"Oh, yes? You don't seem to have answered my second question, how can you be sure that this information will not be a trap? Has your National Police Agency really studied Shoji Kuroda's resume seriously? Based on what I know about him, Shoji Kuroda would never make such a mistake......
Keiko unceremoniously interrupted the other party's speech, he felt that the other party had not seriously understood Kuroda's past, knowing that Kuroda Shoji had single-handedly planned the Tokyo subway bombing that shocked the world, when hundreds of people were killed, which was the worst attack suffered by RB after the war. After that, Shoji Kuroda absconded overseas under the arrest of the RB government, and was not extradited back to RB until he was discovered by the CIA in South America a few years ago. And Minister of Justice Ando Taishi, who successfully extradited Kuroda back to China, was the father of Nobuko Ando, and the Ando family became a family of gate lords in RB politics.
Now that Ando Taishan has passed away, and Nobuko Ando has taken over her father's resources and been elected as a member of the Diet, is it really the fate of two generations of the Ando family to deal with Shoji Kuroda?
