"I'm sorry, but I can't say that you can kill me right now to avenge Kenno's daughter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Why should I kill you?" I gave an inexplicable look, "Ah Miao's death doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Well, actually," I said, "but if you look at it this way, there are so many people involved, should they all be killed?" You're giving me a problem, and although I can indeed find out and kill them one by one if I make up my mind, this kind of revenge has lost its original face, and it will cause more trouble for my practice. ”

"It seems that you are a sober person, little girl."

"Are you planning to hold back the hatred by yourself and minimize the probability of some bad consequences, obviously facing the big crisis of factional struggle and still thinking about others."

He chose to be silent.

"I guess that some of the consequences have a lot to do with the so-called goods you concealed, and even this smuggling act of the Konoe family has decided the fate of many people," I threw out the logical connections that had been established one by one, and I didn't expect Chief Hojo to solve the puzzle immediately, "Nakamura Ken didn't understand the seriousness of the consequences of his actions at first, and treated the smuggling gang as an ordinary drug cartel that led to the tragedy without preventing the retaliation of the Konoe family. ”

"I don't know anyone from the Metropolitan Police Department, but as you might expect," said the chief, "a few years before Mr. Higashida took over the position of Metropolitan Police Director, for some reason, the Metropolitan Police Department, which was originally directly under the orders of the National Police Agency, gradually expanded its powers to the point that it was nominally under the jurisdiction of the National Police Agency, but in fact it became a separate department, and some members of the committee, including ministers from other provinces, colluded to control the functions and powers of the Metropolitan Police Department, the political center, and controlled the security affairs of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which was in charge of the national prefectural police stations. ”

This large passage is probably to prove that he really does not understand the style of the Metropolitan Police Department, "Are you stalling for time? To be honest, I'm not interested in your planned actions or anything like that, I don't care if you're going to drag me here and wait for your superiors to deal with it, or if you're going to become an outcast to fulfill your factional plans, my original purpose was to figure out the reasons for the Konoe family's actions, and now, I may have guessed a rough idea. ”

"Oh?"

While I carefully observed the changes in Hojohiko's physiological indicators to cope with the unreliable mind-reading technique, "Ordinary drug trafficking or arms smuggling doesn't seem to be a serious matter for you outsiders. ”

His expression and even the indicators remained unchanged, so what I said was undoubtedly true, "The smuggled goods of the Konoe family are undoubtedly more influential things, and the things that can make the Hojo chief in charge of the introduction of advanced arms care and even keep it secret, of course, are still arms, and the arms trade that your committee has paid close attention to so much that the Konoe family does not hesitate to break the rules to hunt down and kill Kennomi Nakamura's daughter as a warning, the main body should be a mass killing weapon, or materials or production tools related to the manufacture of a mass killing weapon." ”

Apparently guessed right again.

"Well, it seems that the secrecy of mortals is meaningless to a great power like you, Miss, who has already thought about it, but where the principles and duties are, even if you know everything, I can't say."

"Well," I admired his wisdom, "I've heard that the weapons of human mass destruction are nothing more than nuclear warheads, right?" ”

The fluctuation of physiological indicators that Chief Hojo couldn't control allowed me to cooperate with mind reading to get the answer I wanted, although it was the answer I had already guessed, and it was not an unexpected answer.

"So, your political struggle probably revolves around a wave of powerful weapons smuggled from an unknown corner of the world? In order to ensure that secrets are not leaked, to ensure that they are not attacked by public opinion, to ensure that the political position of the faction is stable, and more importantly, to ensure the security of national defense, you choose to cooperate with the enemy to stay silent in this small room when the political enemy attacks, and pin your hopes on your superiors and allies...... Is that so? ”

"I thought that the situation at this moment would be a few days late, or go to his subordinates," he said with a helpless but firm expression, "I have been prepared, but I don't want it to be today, it is not good to disturb the dinner party and offend the merchants who are deeply related to the parliamentary faction, but they no longer care about the parliamentary faction represented by the merchants for the sake of victory." ”

Parliamentary ...... I wonder if Hojohiko's so-called parliamentary faction is almost the same as the group of people who have little serious business except for mutual insults? It's just a Japanese version, not a London version.

"Ahem, you mean that offending the parliamentarian faction will lead to a budget cut? I think most of you have a lot of money, and of course there are more ways to spend money, and being constrained by the budget is a sign of incompetence," I said, turning the subject back, "The Konoe family didn't show up tonight, and they didn't see a trace yesterday, so they probably went to deal with the goods left over from the smuggling syndicate." ”

Ken Nakamura...... The members of the smuggling syndicate captured by the Metropolitan Police Department are only some of them, and there are some core members who have escaped," Hojohiko said as if he did not answer the question, "There are many ships in the port, and there are other ships controlled by the close group other than the Konoe family to confuse the public, and it is impossible for the Metropolitan Police Department to search the port ships or transit warehouses one by one at the risk of leaking information, and if they want to know where the goods are, they can only interrogate those who have been caught, or continue to arrest core members, I think they may have started a war not long ago." ”

"I came to you to understand the situation, but I actually found the wrong way?"

"It's not wrong, it's just that I deliberately stayed out of the matter, used the dinner party to confuse the public, and extra-wooed the support of the people, but found that they were not so easy to be fooled."

It seems that Ken Nakamura knew the whole story of the incident not long ago, and with my rough understanding of him, he will deal with this matter to the end until all the members of the smuggling syndicate are found out and all the goods are intercepted, he has already lost his daughter because of the conflict between the parties, and it is impossible to give up after learning more about the truth, not to mention that his boss and even his boss's boss must undoubtedly support him to get the goods, although I don't know what the use of goods that may be nuclear warheads from unknown corners of the world is for these people, But it is nothing more than that whoever owns the weapons will have the confidence - perhaps there is a greater benefit to be gained by scattering and reselling the weapons to the missions of many small diplomatic countries that "happen to be visiting"?

"Mr. Hojo, what do you think I should do if I have to avenge the daughter of Kentoki Nakamura?"

"The first thing you should do is eliminate the Konoe family."

Huh? I seem to have heard this sentence yesterday, is this guy in the same group as Reika Konoe?

"Ahh I understand that the Konoe family has gone too far into this struggle, and may even cause a crisis because of those 'goods', and eradicating the Konoe family is a good way to calm the situation. ”

"You can think it's a conspiracy, but when it comes to revenge alone, you can either just destroy the Konoe family, or you can destroy all of us mortals who are stupidly arguing with each other, but since you don't plan to make the latter option, little girl, what else can you do?"
