Chapter 34 Candidates for Trade
After much deliberation, Lin Shuichi decided to place the transaction in the Inokashira Park near Kichijoji. The reason for this choice is mainly due to the fact that he is playing the role of a weak insider, and if the location is too remote, it is easy to arouse Kuroda's alarm, and if it is too remote, it is difficult to guarantee that Kuroda and his men will not carry heavy weapons to eat black, and if this happens, the police arrest operation is likely to suffer another setback.
Inokashira Park is a good place, and the environment here is very well understood by Shuichi Hayashi. In addition, Inokashira Park has a lot of tourists on weekdays, but because the park covers a huge area, there are few tourists in some places. It's a place that can be both lively and secluded, and the most important thing is that there is an open body of water in the center of Inokashi's Grace Park, and if Shoji Kuroda hits another bomb, Hayashi Shuichi has a chance to save it.
However, after Lin Shuichi determined the specific time and place of the transaction, there was another key issue that needed to be solved urgently, that is, who would come forward to carry out this intelligence transaction with Shoji Kuroda.
Lin Shuichi and Miki, of course not! The two of them had already leaked out when they were dealing with the Sakurada Gate explosion, and I was afraid that Kuroda would be able to recognize them as police officers with a little attention, but apart from the special search department, where else could Lin Xiuyi select suitable candidates? The Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Security, and the Ministry of Garrison? These two departments would just choose to kill Kuroda on the spot! A lesson in searching? The Ministry of Life and Security? Is it really good to involve irrelevant people in this right and wrong? So Lin Xiuyi, who has no one to use, can only ask Nagao Keiko to make him suffer so much again!
"Do you want to make a deal with Kuroda, I know, I'm willing to participate in your actions!" Keiko agreed to Lin Xiuyi's request on the phone almost without thinking.
"You...... Kuroda is very dangerous, do you want to think about it again......" When Jingzi happily agreed, Lin Xiuyi retreated. Keiko is smart, but she has to face the bomb maniac Shoji Kuroda, an old fox who has spent the rest of her life dealing with drug dealers, rebels, CIA, and DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), which is too dangerous.
"Yes, I'm willing to come forward to make a deal with Kuroda! And I know that Shuichi-kun is too late to find another candidate! I'm the secretary in charge of policy for a member of the House of Representatives and a member of the Public Safety Committee, so it's not surprising that I have access to classified public security information. And in terms of motivation, it makes sense to accept an honorarium of 100 million yen and then go overseas rather than losing your job at any time due to the defeat or resignation of the councilor, so I am the most suitable person to come forward and make a deal with Kuroda......" Keiko said in a resolute tone on the phone.
Having said this, Lin Xiuyi was powerless to refute Jingzi's assertion, so after careful consideration, Lin Xiuyi replied to Jingzi:
"In that case...... When the time comes, I will deploy enough police forces in your vicinity to ensure your personal safety, please rest assured, I will not let you have an accident......"
"Xiuyi-kun, thank you!" Jingzi suddenly replied to Lin Xiuyi in a tone that he had never had before.
After Jingzi hung up the phone, Lin Xiuyi's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and under Miki's inquiry, Lin Xiuyi told Miki Jingzi's opinion truthfully. After Miki expressed her admiration for Keiko, she felt that this arrangement was actually the most perfect plan so far.
There was a time when the relationship between Lin Shuichi and Keiko was very pure, the two exercised together in the Inokashira Grace Park, had breakfast together in a coffee house, and then took the train to work together, and occasionally bought some beer and croquettes on the road when they got off work, but now this once simple relationship has disappeared forever.
Lin Shuichi admits that he has a crush on Keiko until now, but as the case of Shoji Kuroda unfolds, Lin Xiuichi discovers that the Keiko he knows is not all of Keiko. Perhaps the original relationship was not love, but the feeling of two strangers supporting each other in Tokyo, which is a complex relationship mixed with family affection, friendship and some love. However, as the case of Shoji Kuroda reached the most critical stage, Lin Shuichi had to abandon these personal feelings and pour all his energy into the case.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Xiuyi and Miki hid on a cruise ship docked on the shore of the lake not far from the café, Lin Xiuyi knew that Kuroda was not only a master of explosives, but also invaded the police communication system very easily, so he didn't have to install bugs or something like that on Keiko's body so as not to startle the snake. Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, there are no police officers in the café, and all members of the search squad who participated in this operation are arranged in a hidden place outside the café.
The next morning, Nagao Keiko asked Councilor Ando for leave, and then took a mobile phone specially prepared for her by Lin Shuichi to go to Inokashi's Park alone, the lock screen button of this mobile phone has been specially handled, once the situation deteriorates, Keiko only needs to press this lock screen button, and the police waiting outside will rush into the café as fast as possible to rescue Keiko.
The phone number had been sent to the other party through the mailbox, and just as Keiko had just arrived in front of the café, the other party finally made the first call.
Jingzi unhurriedly took out the mobile phone that Lin Xiuyi handed her from her pocket, and then pressed the answer button.
"Moses Moses!"
"You're a woman?...... I really didn't expect it!"
"Why! can't women sell information?" Keiko walked into the coffee house, sat down at a table in the corner, and motioned with her hand to the waiter to wait and order something. Then he sat there, quietly waiting for the other party's response.
"I'm only interested in what you have, it doesn't matter who you trade with!, but for the sake of safety, I think it's better to ask you a few questions first, where did you get this information!" The other party asked Keiko in an old voice, Kuroda's voice was very recognizable, Keiko had heard Kuroda's voice during the failed operation of the Security Department, so she immediately recognized Kuroda on the other side of the phone.
"What if I told you that I'm actually the secretary in charge of policy for Nobuko Ando, a member of the House of Representatives, and I just hope that I can make a good use of my status before I get fired?" Keiko said to Kuroda half-truthfully.
