Chapter 60: Let's talk about the outside world
The relationship between cult groups and behind-the-scenes organizations has been dizzying, and now it has involved official and semi-official figures who seem to have a relationship with the official. It seems that I have become more and more deeply involved in the realities of mundane affairs, and for the sake of some people I know and the kitten demons, I have to continue listening to Uncle Edogawa, and I even regret that I have brought Edogawa to discuss it - the most embarrassing thing is that I have not yet made my simple request.

"I don't know who Fujiwara Togo is, I haven't seen him yet, but from past news reports about him, I got a signal that I had to stop investigating," he explained, "Fujiwara Togo used to have frequent contacts with high-ranking officials of the National Police Agency for some time in the past, and he also donated the sculptures in the reception hall of the National Police Agency building. β
"It's just that you have dealings, and you're afraid of being targeted by the human police?"
He glanced at me, "How huge the power of the human violent mechanism is, a legendary-level master like you may not have a deep understanding. β
ββ¦β¦β
"But there are other reasons," he shrugged again, "Ten years ago, I was on the National Police Agency's blacklist for some reason in a criminal case involving the family of an officer of the National Police Agency, so I ...... it."
"Since you can change your face and enter the cult, it shouldn't be difficult to change your real identity and ignore the surveillance of the National Police Agency."
His eyes seemed to mock me for being too naΓ―ve, "The various resources managed by a human social identity are not abandoned, not to mention the identity of a detective who has worked hard in an industry to create some famous detectives, and it takes a certain amount of chance and luck to change a legal and reasonable social identity, even if I can change to a new identity activity, I have to lose more than ninety percent of the resources to investigate the inside story of my friend's family's murder, and the chance of finding the murderer in the future is even slimmer." β
"But...... Don't you now also admit that the investigation has stalled? β
"It will take time to find other breakthroughs." Uncle Edogawa's annoyance is beyond words.
"I don't think you're looking for it."
This time it was his turn to roll his eyes, "For a person with a high mentality like you, the helplessness of reality is not a problem. β
"......" forcibly curbed the impulse to shoot the case, "You should learn to respect the legendary masters!" β
"I'm sorry." He apologized sincerely, and I decided not to pursue his rudeness, but only listened to him explain, "Fujiwara Togo has been very close to certain families recently. β
"Please, don't use flashbacks."
"Well, certain families refer to the forces behind the high-ranking officials of the cabinet constituent departments, I mean, Fujiwara Togo, the mysterious organization behind the cult group, and the high-ranking government officials."
"Cult groups are targeted by the government, right?"
"Ahem, bribery through the movement of antiques and antiques is a very concealed and almost non-existent means that can withstand investigation, and has been welcomed by many high-ranking officials for a certain period of time."
ββ¦β¦ What now? β
"It's more hidden, and it's more daring to try, huh...... Efficient means are usually monopolized by the top, and middle and lower class bureaucrats and families are ruthlessly suppressed by the top if they get involved. Moreover, the value of antiquities is actually very huge, and its greater significance is not to trade, not to be used as a carrier for bribery, but to open up some cooperation with foreign forces or to give gifts to each other to enhance feelings, and it also has immeasurable value. β
I understand most of this, bribery is similar to the purpose of Ryuichi and the female boss to operate scarce resources, and antiquities are much more on the table than the so-called scarce resources, and they are not afraid of political and business enemies using them as an excuse for attack.
"So, you think that even though Fujiwara Togo is just an ordinary human, he has a fairly deep official background, and you don't have an effective means to get clues from him?"
"Exactly."
"It's still not guts."
"If I'm missing," he said helplessly, "who's going to find out the culprit for my friend's family?" β
"Well, that makes sense, but you should be more positive."
"When I found out about this, I asked myself if I had spent the next fifty years of positive emotions...... Miss Fran should be able to help me, though? β
"Hmph...... I'm not here to help you at all, the purpose of using the jade magic weapon to recruit you today is to ask you to help me take care of that little girl's family for a while. "I finally took the opportunity to make a simple request that had been brewing for a long time.
"It's very simple - if it's just to watch and report, I have the means to hide and the means to investigate, but if the other party sends more powerful people, I can't do anything."
"That's enough." I quickly said, "Actually, I don't think that youkai group will kill back immediately, they are very focused on hiding themselves. β
"That's true, of course they don't think of you as a little girl who looks like you."
I still seemed to feel a hint of sarcasm in his seemingly flattering words, and after a few thoughts I decided again not to care, since I was a self-proclaimed legendary, I had to maintain a little grace.
"By the way, you seem to have said at the beginning that you don't know Kenji and Kumayoshi but you know where they might belong?" It occurred to me that he seemed to be using flashbacks, and that he did say something that interested me at first.
"Well, because the swordwig calls Xiong Ji the Silver Brother."
"I've noticed before, that's a hierarchical title within the organization?"
"That's not only a hierarchy based on combat effectiveness, but also a hierarchy based on the size and intimacy of the role and intimacy of the high-level organization behind the scenes." He shook his head, "If you ask in depth, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the leader of the cult group, so I can only get less important information, according to the tone and words of several members of the leadership level, I guess that the leader of the cult group under the jurisdiction of the organization behind the scenes should be in a relatively marginal position in the organization, maybe between the bronze brothers and the silver brothers." β
"Guess?"
"Of course it's guessing," he said solemnly, "until we have the ability to investigate the cult leader in depth, most of the information can only be guessed." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Now, it's time to say, Miss Fran, what else do you need from me?"
"Hey...... It's not like I need you to do anything, you asked me to give you some help a few minutes ago. β
"Ah, that's right."
"I said I came from a very closed place, I was very new to the outside world, what do you think I can do?"
"Help me arrest the consignee, torture the information, of course, the most direct."
"Not to mention whether I have the ability to arrest people, with the vigilance of the behind-the-scenes organizations shown in your narrative, it is unlikely that they did not have the magic to find out the whereabouts of their own people or whether they are in danger."
"That's what I mean, too."
"So it can't be too direct?"
"Well," he nodded, "it just so happens that one of the four cults has a sermon meeting this morning, in seven hours' time, would Miss Fran be interested in accompanying me there?" β
"Good!" I think this is a rare opportunity to experience the mental state of ordinary people in the outside world, and I think Miss Kanako will also be interested, tomorrow is Thursday, and the National Police Agency's party is on Friday night, and I have a lot of time to be unprofessional, but it seems that investigating cult groups and behind-the-scenes organizations that are connected to the National Police Agency is not unprofessional, "Maybe I can find other ways to conduct covert investigations, and I will help you." β
Unexpectedly, it took less than half a day to find out and talk about the murder case with Miss Maruko, and I had to contact the relevant people and even the relevant investigation direction.
"Thank you." Seeing that I had been invited, Uncle Edogawa bowed his head and thanked him.
ps: Ma Dan...... I thought that the expert would be fine if he flashed, but he was left with a bunch of laboratory rectification items, and he had to be busy for a while
