Chapter 125: Very Different
Shingo's appearance indicates that Hojo Hiko is basically impossible to miss tonight's dinner, is this Kobayashi's arrangement?
The phone received a message at the same time that the Shingo Protector appeared, and Kobayashi had begun an investigation into the smuggling gang of the Konoe family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The premonition was getting stronger, as if I knew what was going to happen tonight.
Mr. Shingo ordered several bodyguard-like black suits to disperse through the hall and walked to the rostrum where the microphone was placed, and as he passed by me, he noticed something, turned his head to look at me for a moment, and then nodded knowingly, telling me with his eyes that he had learned about our plan through Kobayashi.
I was relieved of most of this, and it seemed that they all sincerely wanted to find out the murderer of Shinji Chiba, so they chose to cooperate with me, even if my arrangement was a little inexplicable to them.
After a long period of observation, I was almost certain that there were no other anomalies among the people present, except for the National Police Agency official Shingo and two girls with bad intentions, and Ryutaro Noma was either busy with other things or was paying close attention to Kobayashi, who was making a move, and I am inclined to think that it was the former at the moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Shingo has arrived at the rostrum to begin speaking, "and all of you here are the elite pillars of the nation on whose behalf, and we at the National Police Agency have convened this dinner to deepen your ties with our department, and to create an occasion for you to interact and cooperate with each other, and ultimately to contribute to the creation of a more favorable environment for a stable society." I am Mr. Hojo's deputy, Mr. Fujita, and I don't think I will say much if many people know me, but Mr. Hojo will come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Hotel from time to time to meet with you, and before that, I have invited Mr. Arima, a master piano player, to play Chopin for everyone and relax. ”
Cheerful dance music sounded, many men and women entered in pairs again, and the hall had an ordinary upper-class atmosphere, and I found that Masako was introduced to the dance floor by Ryuichi and stumbled along with the dance.
Before that, I overheard a lot of whispers, and someone introduced Mr. Fujita, who had just taken the stage to speak, to a friend on the side, who was the candidate who was about to take over as deputy chief of the National Police Agency, and belonged to the political rising stars of the rockets in recent years.
These outsiders are really trying their best.
There was still a long time before the official opening, and Shingo arrived early as if to check the safety of the dinner hall for his superiors, and after he stepped down after a few simple words, he was surrounded by many people to talk, either daily topics, or to congratulate his promotion in advance.
I sent him a message and told him I was waiting for him in the corner of the hall.
In a few words, he politely got rid of the celebrities who surrounded him, and the protector of Shingo formally met with me in a corner with few people, and on the side were two bodyguards in black suits, which made the people who were about to come forward to talk stop their movements for a while, and I felt that more attention was placed on my side along Shingo, which was not a good sign.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Fran, you're more memorable than Kobayashi describes."
"Are outsiders so good at complimenting people? That's right, I'm Miss Fran, and I'm glad you made the choice, Mr. Fujita. The words contained another thought: Something secret and not very good may happen tonight, but I promise not to hurt Hojohiko, and I hope that Mr. Shingo will keep his secret and position.
"Since I've come here, I should follow Kobayashi's orders, I hope you have a way to find out the murderer, Shinji is our closest brother, and I can properly not care about him for his sake...... Even if the safety of the situation、This may affect the purpose of our activities so far。 ”
"Your affection and firmness are admirable."
"Thank you."
"I have a question, out of sheer curiosity, and you don't have to answer it."
"W-please."
"I've been observing you for the past few minutes," I said, "Your cultivation seems to be even more difficult than Kobayashi's, and it's not far from mastering your mental instincts, but whether it's from the conversation with Chiba Shinji or the conversation with the two of you, I think you and Chiba Shinji both have Kobayashi as the main decision-maker, since you can mix up with such an important political position now, why didn't you break away from Kobayashi and develop on your own?" ”
The senior official of the National Police Agency, who was no less majestic than Minister Nakamura, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Cultivation is not everything. ”
"That's right."
"Kobayashi and I have both received your divine message, and we know that Shinji has revealed a lot to you," he continued, "Many years ago, the three of us just wandered around Tokyo and didn't know each other, until Yingli Masamei caught and controlled the three of us by chance, and we began to combine into a whole, at that time, it was Kobayashi who had the highest cultivation, and he was the smartest and most scheming, so we naturally took him as the master, and in the end, the terrible Yingli Masamei disappeared without a trace, and the three of us were freed to establish today's organization with Kobayashi as the main body. ”
"Your cultivation has improved since then?"
"To be precise, it was after Kobayashi instructed me to be admitted to the civil service, I thought that focusing on my career might lead to neglecting daily cultivation, but I didn't expect that cultivation is not as simple as we imagined, and now I have surpassed Kobayashi and are closer to the legendary realm of the predecessors in the inner world and you."
"It's rare to be a wild demon without any teaching and on your own to reach the level you are now."
"I'm glad."
The outside demons are generally not as happy as the little demon residents of Gensokyo, heartless, or simply the innate aggressive instinct of wild carnivores, I thought to myself, the outside demons know how to abide by the rules better than many Gensokyo demons who have not left the category of wild animals, they all have extremely strong human shadows, and it seems that most of them only regard themselves as human beings, and in the process work hard to cultivate or simply devote themselves to their careers like normal human elites, if Purple officially revokes the control, the wild demons in Gensokyo will flood into the outside world in large numbers, The devastating consequences are obvious.
After a moment of brainstorming, he put aside these situations that I didn't need to worry about, and only listened to him say: "I also want to ask you a question, although the Konoe family has a lot of dealings with Mr. Hojo, and I was not high enough to know the interests between them before, what does your investigation of the smuggling group of the Konoe family have to do with the mysterious person who looked like a high school girl who attacked Shinji?" ”
"Hey, it's hard to say what it has to do now, but maybe there's a mysterious black hand behind the scenes that has something to do with both parties."
"Xiao Lin and I both choose to believe in our seniors, and I hope you don't let us down."
"The impact of chance is uncertain, not to mention, do you really have the confidence to face that incomparably powerful murderer?"
"That's our business."
Fujita Shingo nodded and retired, I thought about it and still didn't tell him the fact that Reimu and the Konoe family were not very big, and the outside world Reimu seemed to have something to do with the former deputy chief of the National Police Agency for his mysterious practice, which is another layer of truth that is beating around the bush.
In addition, what Xiao Lin is doing really doesn't have much to do with seeing the murderer in the outside world, it's just me using him to play a little dispensable, anyway, no matter how I move, the reimu should eventually appear, and I'm not a demon who deceives the two vengeful outside demons.
