Chapter 113: Flickering
He told me with a look on his face that he had expected this and was still very disappointed, and I said, "But since you can't find her, you don't need to take the initiative to find her, isn't it more convenient for her to take the initiative to come to you?" ”
Since she couldn't understand Reimu's thoughts and practices, there was no need to force herself to understand, and honestly guiding the development of the situation according to her own ideas was the style of a master with a level of supernatural powers, and as long as she understood that all of Reimu's actions centered on cultivation and destroying the Heavenly Tribulation, it was not worth making a fuss about how strange and contradictory her actions were.

"Let the other party take the initiative to find it? Miss Fran, please...... Seniors advise. ”
"I'll ask a few questions first," I had a general idea in my mind, and my thoughts and words began to flow smoothly, "You have business dealings with many public and public sector officials, including the National Police Agency, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Then you should know about the Konoe family? Are you familiar with them and the National Police Agency's business? ”
"It's no secret that the Konoe family is the most powerful and deepest underground organization in and outside Tokyo," Kobayashi said, "but they don't overlap with the National Police Agency's business, and I don't know them very well." ”
"Then you should know that a few days ago, some people from the Metropolitan Police Department cracked down on a smuggling gang linked to the Konoe family."
"There was a lot of trouble in this matter," he seemed to know about it beyond the surface, "and it even attracted the attention of the larger officials behind some of the big officials." ”
"What have the smuggling gangs been doing lately? Why are they being targeted by the Metropolitan Police Department? ”
"I'm sorry Miss Fran, but I don't dare to make any hasty inquiries until the situation has calmed down, maintaining business communication with the public sector requires a keen but not so wanton sense of smell, and in turbulent times, it is better not to take the initiative to inquire about what you should know."
As I expected, this question was not answered, and I don't have much hope that Nakamura would have known what kind of activities the smuggling gang he was fighting was going on, as I had guessed with Miss Maruko, that Ken Nakamura, as a front-line operative, did not necessarily know the inside story, otherwise he would have realized that he was in danger and protected Ah Miao accordingly - he was undoubtedly used as a useful tool by his boss Shinichi Miyagi without knowing too much.
"Do you think these are turbulent times? It seems that the political struggle is fierce. ”
"I've heard that there will be a change in the personnel of the Public Security Commission." Mr. Kobayashi, who looks like an elite member of society, confessed, "You haven't told me how to lure the murderer out. ”
"Don't worry, I have a 'huge' plan," I said mysteriously, "and then again, you have no idea about the murderer's appearance?" ”
"Since Miss Fran is the one who investigates the murder, I think the murderer must have had other purposes."
In the thoughts I left to them, I only showed the scene, not the sound, so Kobayashi didn't know how familiar I was with the murderer, and I didn't plan to explain more, even if I had the patience to explain, I couldn't explain it clearly, telling him that "other people's practices overlap with your organization for various reasons"? This is an intelligible question, "You don't have to care about the murderer's purpose, anyway, your purpose is to find her for revenge." ”
"Not bad."
"But her cultivation is obviously too high for you to touch, even if you have full confidence in your fighting ability...... Anyway, I learned from your subordinates Kenzhi and Xiong Jina that you have a secret technique that instantly shuttles through space, and I have to warn you in advance that this kind of so-called secret art is a little magic trick that has no point in fighting in front of the cultivator, even if the master is not good at fighting. ”
"I understand, but it's not the same thing as my desire to do something for Shinji."
"You're all admirable guys," I gave a positive assessment, and continued to go around in circles, "There's one more thing I almost overlooked, since you're the manager of the organization behind the scenes, the person who appears in the news tonight is the person in your organization who is responsible for collecting valuables at your door, the other protector of the organization, and the assistant to the head of the National Police Agency, Hiko Hojo?" Or a bodyguard? ”
"......" Kobayashi looked embarrassed to be seen through again, "Hojohiko needs tighter protection, and Shingo happens to have no other business, so it's impossible for us to give up this opportunity to get closer." ”
This guy obviously doesn't know that there is a mysterious master in the National Police Agency who has been a deputy chief, and that mysterious master may have secretly maintained the protection of Hojohiko for his own purposes, and even Kobayashi's organization is under the observation of Noma Ryutaro, but Kobayashi has no influence or threat to Noma that needs to be missed, so as not to affect Kobayashi's judgment, "I understand I understand, that Mr. Shingo looks a little bigger than you and Chiba Shinji, Could it be to increase the reliability of the appearance? But by what means did you get him into the upper echelons? Ah, well, that's not what I'm supposed to care about, now let's talk about my arrangement. ”
"Please advise."
"There's a business exchange meeting that the National Police Agency is anxious about tomorrow night, will Hojo participate in it?"
"If there are no special circumstances, he should attend, give some speeches and prospects, and make some efforts to attract more private funding support for the National Police Agency."
"Actually, it's mainly to spend more money on foreign smuggling activities."
"That's your guess." He seemed vaguely to corroborate my claim.
"Anyway, you should have a way to influence Hojohiko's itinerary to a certain extent, and I want you to ensure that he attends tomorrow night's exchange meeting."
"It's not difficult, and he also needs a networking banquet to calm people's minds and prevent businessmen from diverting their investment goals in these turbulent times."
"Ah, the purpose of the exchange meeting originally included this layer," he reminded me, "It's all good news anyway, and then tell your Dharma protector not to make a fuss about the possibility of suspicious people at the banquet, and if someone leads him to a closed room to ask questions, don't stop him, Hojohiko won't be harmed." ”
"I do hope you don't hurt him, Hojo has a lot of use for us." Kobayashi politely agreed to my request.
"Then the dinner party will be none of your business, and I want you to do something else at the dinner tomorrow, which may violate the rules and strategies you have set for the development organization."
"Please, I have my own judgment."
"Help me secretly find out what the Konoe family's smuggling syndicate has been doing lately, and you can go as detailed as you can, but remember, the preparation can be done in advance, but if there is a specific need to find and even arrest certain people, the investigation must not be carried out until after the dinner begins."
"Is that so?" He looked down for a moment of thought, "I tried my best, but I didn't dare to promise anything." ”
