"Wait! If the deputy inspector general of the Metropolitan Police Department belongs to a faction whose purpose is to attack the faction of the chief of police and create a momentum for themselves," I said, "they have no reason to keep it secret from the media." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmm-" she pondered for a moment, "So, the political struggle is really too complicated, and I guess the deputy director's faction is also under pressure from the top, so for the time being, they can only keep what they do secret in order to compromise, after all, the ultimate goal of the collusion between the National Police Agency and criminal organizations is still 'national defense and security'." Beware of overseas threats', besides, Alice doesn't think it's a matter of secrecy from the media, isn't it strange that my senior, who has a lot of experience but doesn't have much to do with the bureaucracy, got the general information from his friends? ”

"Maybe it's the countermeasure of the deputy director's faction, the official propaganda channels are blocked by the top, and they will spread their actions from the side, after all, it is also a positive content worth publicizing." I felt more and more powerless.

"Well, Miss Alice should have nothing to do with such intricacies of the outside world......"

I know where her sigh comes from, it is true that a person like me is not suitable for the deceitful outside society, either outwardly or internally, but I still blend in without hesitation.

"After the relevant information of the Metropolitan Police Department, what about the National Police Department?" I continued to ask.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same in the incident. Let's add one more point.,Anyway, it's all told me by my predecessors.,The chief of the police department and the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department are members of the same professional group.,Ah,In short, it's the elite of the police.,In the election six years ago,The position of the chief of police is cheaper than the almost incompetent centrists.,The position of the chief of the police department was intervened by the upper echelons and handed over to the weaker faction.,Shinichi Miyagi was transferred from the head of the headquarters of the large prefecture to the Metropolitan Police Department as the deputy director., As a rookie who was favored and promoted by Miyagi Shinichi, Ken Nakamura was also promoted to inspector of police soon after to become the head of the criminal department of the Metropolitan Police Department. ”

"Hmm...... That's all I said, what's the name of the chief of the National Police Agency? "Is it Noma? I had to think that it would make the problem I was facing easier.

But Miss Maruko's words immediately shattered my simple expectations, "This person is more mysterious and doesn't appear in public much, because after all, he is directly under the central government and has secret business with the outside world, and my predecessor told me that this person is called Hojo Hiko, and he used to have an apprenticeship relationship with the police director Higashida Shohei, so although he has nominally become the superior of the former teacher, he doesn't emphasize the relationship between his superiors and subordinates with the Metropolitan Police Department, maybe this appointment is also out of high-level checks and balances." ”

"......" I feel a lot of headaches in the face of an increasingly complex network of relationships, and this person is not a succubus's apprentice Noma, so under what circumstances will I face an opponent with strong and unreasonable abilities? In fact, if there are no special groups of people other than ordinary people - such as Noma or other monsters - I probably don't have much pressure to face the government group of a country alone, compared to a large group after all, I am in the shadows and have the ability not to reason with them, but then again, there are people like me in this world, and there will naturally be people like the apprentices of the succubus, otherwise there is no way to talk about the balance relationship in the dark.

"By the way, this is not the first time I've heard anyone talk about an overseas threat, and given the location of the Japanese island, it's the Korean Peninsula and the mysterious China that I've only heard about in books about the Korean Peninsula that can pose an overseas threat. I've been outside for so many days, and I haven't felt the atmosphere of war, and compared to the panic I felt when I settled in Bucharest, Tokyo is almost like the legendary Rome of the imperial era. ”

"State-to-state exchanges are never prepared for the worst-case scenario, so national defense and security are really important...... Well, but Japan has a deformed system that can't even get together an army, and although I personally feel ridiculous about the so-called overseas threat, and there is no reason to blame the tension at the top, this is not something for ordinary people to consider, and it is not something to be diverted by personal preference. ”

Again, that wasn't something I should have thought about, and after a conversation, the meal was ready.

At the dining table in the living room, the wall-mounted TV directly opposite switched to the news channel, and Fran-chan had no objection to this, as she was trying to enjoy a hearty dinner.

Miss Maruko reminded me to pay attention to the news, "I just talked about the National Police Agency, so let's put it on the news about the National Police Agency." ”

The general content of the news is that the police stations in Tokyo are stepping up their efforts to inspect firefighting, sanitation, and law and order affairs in their respective districts in anticipation of the upcoming Obon Festival next month, and several of the major police stations have received daily inspections and greetings from the head of the National Police Agency, Mr. Hojohiko, and the entourage includes Mr. Higashida, the director of police affairs, and other personnel from other relevant departments.

Hojohiko and Higashida Shohei looked like tall middle-aged and elderly officials with awe-inspiring appearance, Hojo Hisahiko looked like he was in his fifties, and his teacher was about ten years older than him at the age of retirement.

"This year's Obon ......," I silently estimated, "and the inspection of next month's events will start now, which is a little more efficient, right?" ”

"Making excuses, engaging in activities, diverting attention, etc. are all common tactics of politicians and officials, and I have never heard much of the police station conducting surprise inspections before Midyear." Miss Maruko disagreed.

"They," I said, retracting my gaze from the TV, "don't look bad at first glance. ”

"Uh...... Judging a person's quality based on first impression is a bit irresponsible. Miss Maruko said in an embarrassed tone.

"Probably." In fact, if it is put in the eyes of Miss Satoru, she basically relies on first impressions when she sees people, and there is no doubt that she has an accuracy of more than 99%, so for me, who is not ignorant of personnel and has little contact, the first impression is still slightly reliable, but there is really no need to argue with her, "I wonder what kind of role the Konoe family is among these people." ”

"Well, isn't it the mafia in the hands of politicians? Is it the kind of 'legitimate' criminal who has his back to the authorities? ”

"It's not that simple, although Konoe Reika's words are not very reliable, but she said that the relationship between his family and the chief of the police department is just a superficial layer, and she doesn't know the deep high-level relationship, this is not like a lie purely used to threaten, and she already felt that she couldn't leave alive at that time, there is no need to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, if her purpose is to make me an enemy of other group forces without knowing anything, she doesn't need to point out the family secrets that even she doesn't know very well."

"That makes sense," Miss Maruko nodded, "So is a high-ranking central official like the Chief of the National Police Agency, who ordinary people can't touch in a lifetime, just a superficial manifestation of the Konoe family's power?" The remnants of these broken ancient family connections are indeed terrifying," Miss Maruko's interested expression showed that she did not realize the so-called terrible, "but when I think about it deeply, this is actually not strange, how can someone who is engaged in national defense and security not have the support behind him, Hojo Hiko is probably only the person in charge on the surface, and he also needs the support of the forces behind him to be able to play in the international arms market - if his target is high-tech unconventional weapons, then even more so the support behind him, Therefore, if the Konoe family has the ability to develop the international illegal market, their supporters, or allies, may indeed be higher-level figures, and Hojohiko is only the clerk in charge of the specific contact with the Konoe family. ”

I nodded, "Whatever the truth is, I'll have to find an opportunity to reach out to Hojo at the party the day after tomorrow - I hope he won't be too busy with work to attend." ”
