"Do you know what you've done, do you know how much trouble you're going to get by talking about these things?" After being rescued, Jingzi, ignoring her bleeding wounds, immediately ran in front of Lin Xiuyi, trying to persuade Lin Xiuyi to give up his intention to testify for Kuroda.

"Keiko, I remember that on the day of the Sakurada Gate explosion, I returned home early, and I happened to meet Miko returning from her part-time job. That night, Miko made me an ordinary cream stew. To be honest, I thought the stew was so delicious, even better than the original Matsusaka beef......"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Jingzi interrupted Lin Xiuyi's words of emotion with some impatience.

"I want to say that no secret can be hidden forever, and I actually prefer to stay at home and eat a bowl of hot cream stew in peace of mind than to sit in a high-end restaurant in Ginza and eat expensive Matsusaka beef......" After Lin Xiuyi said this, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of ease.

Jingzi looked at Lin Xiuyi's appearance, suddenly smiled helplessly, and then turned around and left without looking back.

……

A month later, after the cold winter was gone, the warm spring finally arrived. And the case of Shoji Kuroda, who made Lin Shuichi suffer a lot, was also tried in secret at the request of the new Minister of Justice Nobuko Ando.

In the course of this trial, Hayashi Shuichi testified in favor of Shoji Kuroda as a witness in court. Thus completely cleared Kuroda's 23-year-long injustice. After Kuroda surrendered all the explosives to the Metropolitan Police Department, he was re-instated by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office on charges of illegal possession of explosives and endangering public safety. After several court trials, the Tokyo District Court sentenced Kuroda to 10 years in prison, though he had already spent nine years in prison. So he only needs to spend the remaining year in the Tokyo detention center to regain his freedom.

Because it was a secret trial, the media did not know the final verdict of Kuroda. The new Minister of Justice, Nobuko Ando, specifically approved Kuroda's request to change his household registration, and after his release from the Tokyo detention center, Kuroda will reapply for his household registration under a new identity, of course, the new identity is also a secret that is not open to the public.

As for Kazuo Furuta, the former minister of the Ministry of Justice, he voluntarily resigned from his post shortly after Kuroda's arrest, and many high-ranking officials closely related to the Tokyo subway bombing also resigned from their posts. After former Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission Heizo Inagaki was promoted to RB's new foreign minister, Takeshi Sakurai, who had served as vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, became the new chairman of the National Security Commission.

This series of changes heralds the resurgence of Andokai, an important faction in the ruling Democratic Constitutional Party, which had been torn apart by the death of Ando. As a core member of the Ando Association, Nobuko Ando has naturally become the biggest beneficiary of this political change.

"I heard from Keiko, you have a good skill in making coffee, how does it compare to the coffee I made myself?" In the office of the new Minister of Justice Nobuko Ando, Nobuko Ando personally poured a cup of coffee for Lin Xiuyi, and Lin Xiuyi couldn't shirk it, so he had to taste it seriously.

"The quality of the coffee itself is very good, it should be a good Blue Mountain coffee bar, there is no bitterness in the coffee, only a moderate and perfect sourness, in addition to this, whether it is the fermentation or roasting of coffee beans, it is perfect, but some coffee is not the finer the grinding, the better......" Lin Xiuyi objectively and calmly commented on the coffee made by Nobuko Ando, and did not give too high a high evaluation because of the identity of the other party.

This time, the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Police Department have joined forces to solve the case of Shoji Kuroda, and the Forest Police Department has made a great contribution!" said Justice Minister Ando with a smile to Hayashi Shuichi.

"Actually, I would have continued to investigate the whereabouts of those accomplices who assisted Kuroda in escaping from prison, but for some reason, these guys left RB early before the search lesson arrived, which is really strange......" Lin Xiuyi carefully observed Minister Ando's expression, the other party's smile did not change in the slightest, and he still looked at Lin Xiuyi seriously, but he never answered the question raised by Lin Xiuyi.

"Knock knock knock......" With a knock on the door, Keiko walked in from outside the door with a tea tray and put a refreshment in front of Lin Shuichi, Minister Ando glanced at Keiko, and then introduced to Lin Xiuyi: "Lin Police Department, this is our new section chief of the Ministry of Justice's Minister's Cabinet Secretary, and also your old friend Nagao Keiko......"

Lin Xiuyi looked at Jingzi and hurriedly stood up, Jingzi didn't speak to Lin Xiuyi, just nodded, and Lin Xiuyi also returned the salute in the same way.

"Nagao-san, do you live in Akasaka now?" Lin Xiuyi felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and then asked.

"Yes, I'm really reluctant to leave Kichijoji! Thanks to you and Miko for taking care of me in the past, I'm really grateful!"

"Where, there, I have also been taken care of by you!"

……

After chatting with Keiko for a while, Lin Shuichi asked Minister Ando again about a matter related to Kuroda's case.

"Minister Ando, I heard that the Iwaki criminal officer who was in charge of Kuroda's detention seems to have become a legal officer at a consulate abroad?

"Oh, yes? It's the first time I've heard of such a thing! Hey, I just took over the job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I still keep a lot of specific things in the dark?

"That's not true, even if there is, I'm afraid it's not the scope of the investigation of the search lesson, I just want to get all the details clear, if I ask you uncomfortable questions, please forgive me for my presumptuousness!" Lin Xiuyi looked at Nobuko Ando with an intriguing attitude, Nobuko Ando felt very uncomfortable under Lin Xiuyi's gaze, she felt that Lin Xiuyi's gaze seemed to be able to shoot directly into people's hearts.

"Lin Police Department, for your outstanding performance in this investigation, our Ministry of Justice cherishes a talent like you very much, I wonder if you are willing to work in the Ministry of Justice? I heard that the Metropolitan Police Department does not seem to give you any rewards!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, I think I'm still more suitable to be a policeman!" Lin Xiuyi replied very dryly, he knew very well what Minister Ando was thinking, he knew too much, it was too dangerous to continue to put a search lesson, if he went to the Ministry of Justice, all his work would be under Ando's nose, which was a result that Lin Xiuyi definitely didn't want.

"Minister, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first!"

After clearly rejecting Minister Ando's solicitation, Lin Shuichi took the initiative to resign. The biggest beneficiary of this case is Nobuko Ando and the Ando Association to which she belongs. And all this is largely due to Lin Shuichi's investigation, after all, if Kuroda really detonated the explosives in his hand, it would be Nobuko Ando's turn to step down in the end.

"Why don't you finish your coffee before leaving?" asked Congressman Ando, surprised.

"No, for me, that cup of coffee every morning is enough to meet my caffeine intake for the whole day......"

Lin Xiu said goodbye to Minister Ando together. Minister Ando asked Keiko to send Lin Shuichi away for her.

After walking out of the office, Jingzi suddenly pulled Lin Xiuyi to a secluded corner like last time, and then bowed deeply to Lin Xiuyi, thanking Lin Xiuyi for saving her life.

"Nagao-san, you don't have to remember it like that, but I really have something important to trouble you......" Lin Xiu said to Jingzi with a look of embarrassment.

"Oh, did Xiu Yijun encounter any difficulties?" asked Keiko curiously.

"If you can, can you help me reserve a seat at Jiro Hashiro Sukiya, I want to have a good experience of the best sushi in RB with my subordinate Miki......"
