After observing for a long time, I feel that I have gained something, and this trip to the outside world may not be completely unacceptable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Denen asked Masako to bring Ryuichi back to me, and I plan to summarize Masako's harvest and thoughts on the National Police Agency.

"It feels like it's been a long time since I've left Alice this time, and it feels like it's been so short......" Masako patted her cheeks as if she was coming back to her senses from her inexplicable state.

"I'm guessing you're obsessed with the thrill of laughing and talking to those hypocritical elites," I pretended to be an analyst to help her, "so I feel happy for a short time, and because facing me is a completely different realm from those people, the twist is so big that you think you've been away from me for a long time." ”

"Yes, is that so?"

"Miss Alice is very well analyzed." Long nodded in compliment.

"Actually, I'm talking nonsense, okay, let's talk about Masako-san, what gains did the people of the exchange give you?"

"This ......," the high school girl closed her eyes and tried to sort out her thoughts, "I knew for the first time that the National Police Agency had so many things to buy from the society, and I always thought that the country's money, uh, the government, and the country were one and the same, so all the activities that cost money were carried out by the government in a unified manner, but it turned out that the National Police Agency was at its own disposal after receiving the approval of the National Assembly's budget and appropriation, so it is no wonder that these business groups have a relationship with the National Police Agency." ”

"It's a general view, but it's a less naïve understanding of the environment in which you live."

"I always thought that the job of the police was to catch the bad guys and maintain law and order, shouldn't their work be very simple, but it turned out that it was not so simple."

"Ms. Masako is just an ordinary high school student, and it's a good start to think outside the box," Ryuichi said in a hypocritical tone of appreciation, "The financial allocation is only a part of the National Police Agency's source of expenses, and a large part of it comes from social donations, which can give donors more opportunities to make money through the relationship between the real power department." ”

"Anyone can think of these shallow things as long as they have normal intelligence, you actually have a general understanding before, and this time it is just through actual contact with the business elite to deepen your views and impressions," I continued to pretend to show my adaptability to the outside world, "stop talking nonsense, talk about your other gains." ”

"Okay, okay," Masako coughed and cleared her throat, "I think there are a lot of people who don't really respect Hojo so much. ”

"Why?"

"Because...... This is because there are some people who don't seem to care much about who the leader of the National Police Agency is, and they can always get enough benefits from the National Police Agency. ”

Basically the same as me, "What else?" ”

"More people really want to get in touch with a small group of people who they have been praising intentionally or unintentionally, but they are not officials of the National Police Agency, such as the 50-year-old Fujiwara Trading Company board member over there, Fujiwara Trading Company seems to be a huge consortium organization, I heard a lot of people say good things about him along the way, whether that person can hear it or not, but shouldn't this kind of thing be said in front of people? I thought that all I could say about others behind my back was bad things. ”

"That's what Miss Cihuaxian once said, complimenting people doesn't have to be in person, and if you want to shoot people's ass, you have to get a chance to get close first."

“？”

"No, nothing, you go on."

"Also, some people feel that Hojohiko is in trouble," Masako said, "and it takes such a banquet to elevate one's status a little more to deal with trouble and maintain one's status." ”

I looked at Ryuichi.

"I don't know exactly what the trouble is, maybe it has something to do with factional struggles, and in fact there is nothing new in a similar situation." ”

"Aren't you from the Konoe family? Isn't the relationship between the Konoe family and Hojo good? You don't know anything? ”

"I'm just a small businessman who is sheltered by the nearby Wei family, and my status is the same as that of Mr. Konoe's...... That's different, I know very little. ”

It occurred to me that the one he was referring to was the boss who traded in special scarce resources, his immediate superior, though my impression of her was that she had smoked a long cigarette and had been hoaxed by me.

"Speaking of which, I still have a doubt," I asked directly in Ryuichi's head, "The relationship between the Konoe family and Hojohiko should be considered close, right, and their people were not present?" ”

The young man looked around as if he had seen a ghost, "Ah, are you talking?" I don't dare to say that the big man of the Konoe family is familiar with the relationship, I'm just a peripheral dependent. However, I have not seen any representative of the Konoe family so far. ”

"Isamu Konoe may be accompanying Hojo with him?"

"I—I don't know."

"You guy, at best, it's just a male version of a courtesan, there's really nothing worth looking forward to."

"I'm very, I'm sorry."

Hojohiko's encounter with trouble should be real, I think Nakamura Ken is in a state of inability to contact today, is it he and the Metropolitan Police Department faction who are causing trouble for Hojohiko? Regardless of whether or not I can contact Ken Nakamura, I'll have to find out a little bit about the situation with Mr. Hojo first.

"Huh? Miss Masako, what's wrong with you? A look like you want to go to the bathroom? I noticed her look writhing in the middle of my distractions trying to ask something.

"No, it's not! Well, I want to ask you, is there really such a detective agency in the Edogawa Detective Agency? Some of the groups that Mr. Ryuichi took me into have claimed to have heard of the Edogawa Detective Agency and wanted me to leave their contact information. ”

"Huh?" I seem to be underestimating Edogawaichi's influence, but is that influence a good or a bad one? "What are the characteristics of people who know the Edogawa Detective Agency?"

"Characteristics ......," Masako thought carefully after a moment's pause, "either a big businessman who claims to have encountered a little trouble, or a lady who is not too young." ”

"There is no doubt that they are all people who have private matters that are inconvenient to call the police, and then what? Who did you leave the call to? I made a mistake, and I should have told you about Edogawa's work number. ”

"At first, I used the new company to remember the contact number and pushed it away, but fortunately, Mr. Ryuichi thought my excuse was too suspicious, so he searched for information about the Edogawa Detective Agency, but I didn't expect it to come out, so I handed over the phone number to the person who wanted to cooperate with the detective agency," Masako was very uneasy, "This, did it cause trouble for the detective agency?" ”

"Trouble? It's not a trouble, it's business, it's turnover, and people have to thank you for helping to publicize it," I took the phone call recorded by Masako, and sure enough, it was Uncle Edogawa's contact information, "Is this guy's real name Edogawa?" He didn't think about hiding his forum identity? ”

I seem to have underestimated Edogawa's energy, and I almost forgot that he could directly contact the forum administrator to check the secret information of the forum, and the relationship between that guy in the real world and the relationship developed in the monster forum is not weak, and it seems that the two are connected.

Unfortunately, his energy seems to be only used in the detective business, and it doesn't play much role in dealing with the more powerful organizational forces or even the mysterious forces established by the youkai.
