Momonosuke's Future Travels (5)
The arrest of Momonosuke's armed violent gang made the cadres and masses in Jiuli City all breathe a sigh of relief.
The same is true for the mayor of Jiuli City.
Two years after the founding of the Alliance, all the reactionary forces that should be cleared out on the sea have been completely cleared.
This kind of major violent incident, which has caused a total of 123 cadres and masses to be injured and a digging chicken to die, is rare in the whole country, and the case will definitely be reported to Mary Joy, and it is very likely to attract the attention of public opinion from all sides.
As the leader of Jiuli City and the main person in charge of Jiuli safety work, the mayor of Jiuli has to pay attention to this matter.
After hearing that this group of vicious terrorists had been arrested, the tight strings in his heart finally loosened.
Then, the mayor of Jiuli personally visited the city bureau and prepared to guide the interrogation on the spot.
"Mayor."
Before entering one of the interrogation rooms, the accompanying secretary kindly reminded:
"It is said that this group of terrorists has good strength, and all of them have the strength of a sword hero or above."
"Do you want someone to put him in extra shackles before you go in?"
"Hahaha..."
Mayor Jiuli smiled:
"Where is this needed?"
"When I was young, I was also a well-known samurai in Jiuli, so why should I be afraid of a vicious dog that has fallen into a cage?"
"Let's get inside!"
He paused, and his expression became a little cold:
"I can't wait to see..."
"What kind of madman dares to blatantly carry out armed restoration in Jiuli!"
As he spoke, the mayor of Jiuli pushed the door straight in, and nailed his eyes like lightning to the hateful terrorist sitting on the interrogation seat:
"Brother Kinemon??"
The mayor of Jiuli was slightly stunned, and blurted out a sentence of "big brother".
"Huh?"
The two interrogators were stunned at the same time, and the eyes of the secretary on the side became extremely strange.
And Kinemon's eyes lit up, and he looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face of Mayor Jiuli for a long time before cautiously tentatively asking:
"You... Are you Brother Kato? ”
It turned out that Mayor Kato of Kuri was originally an old friend of Kinemon, and even a subordinate of Kinemon.
Twenty years ago, the beasts invaded, and Kaido and the Black Carbon Snake were mainly targeted by the Ota family and the nine retainers under Mita, and small fish and shrimp like Mayor Kato had no time to take care of them.
Therefore, he escaped from Wano Country after the fall of the Guangyue clan, and wandered on the sea for another seventeen years, and finally became Galen's subordinate by chance.
After Galen liberated Wano Country, there was a shortage of local administrators in Wano Country, and this Comrade Kato was appointed by the alliance as the mayor of Kuri City because of his good attitude, serious work, and understanding of the local situation.
He used to be a retainer of Mitsuki and the younger brother of Kinemon, but he never thought that he could be related to the Mitsuki clan again.
Until now.
Twenty years have been wrong, but his eldest brother is still exactly the same as twenty years ago.
"Brother!"
Kinemon held Mayor Kato's hand tightly and told his bizarre experience that day:
"We actually..."
"I see."
After listening to Kinemon's words, Mayor Kato finally understood the true situation of this series of terrorist activities.
"Brother Kinemon, don't worry."
Because he was taken care of a lot by Kinemon when he was young, Mayor Kato, who had been a samurai and pirate for half his life, was now inevitably angry and played a package ticket in front of Kinemon:
"I'll definitely find a way to help you explain it to your superiors."
"The leaders of the province also have a lot of local elders in Wano Country, they all know a few of you, and they will definitely believe it."
"Good! Thank you, thank you! ”
Kinemon hurriedly nodded in thanks.
Although Kato was originally his younger brother, he is now the mayor of Kuri City, and in Kinemon's understanding, he is the current Kuri Daimyo of the same level as Mitsuki Mita.
As an old samurai who carved the concept of hierarchy into his bones, Kinemon had to show a respectful attitude towards this former little brother.
"It's all brothers, thank you?"
Mayor Kato's attitude was still mild, and he didn't put on any official show in front of Kinemon:
"I'll go talk to the other comrades now, let them put aside the interrogation work in hand first, and then bring Brother Kanjuro and them over."
After entering the city bureau, the five members of Momonosuke and his party were separated and taken into different interrogation rooms for interrogation alone, so Kinemon did not know the situation of the other four.
Now hearing that Brother Kato so readily agreed to help, Kinemon finally relieved himself.
"That's right..."
After finishing his business, Kinemon couldn't help but mention his private affairs:
"Brother Kato, is she okay with Xiaohe?"
"You ask my sister-in-law? She's fine. ”
Mayor Kato also took out the attitude of an old friend and patiently chatted with Kinemon:
"When I went back to Jiuli more than two years ago, she opened a teahouse in Jiuli in a dignified manner."
"Big brother, don't worry."
"In the past two years, my sister-in-law has been taken care of by me."
"That's good..."
Kinemon sighed deeply and was full of emotion.
At this time, Mayor Kato asked his subordinates to bring Kanjuro, Raizo and Koju were all present.
Everyone greeted each other for a while, but Momonosuke didn't come over for a long time.
"Where's the young master?"
Kinemon asked with some concern.
"You ask the kid?"
One comrade couldn't help but chuckle:
"That kid was just scared to pee, and I guess I'll have to clean up for a while before I can come over."
"Uh..."
Kinemon's face was embarrassed for a while.
The master is so unbearable, and his face as a retainer will naturally not look good.
"Haha..."
Mayor Kato also laughed dryly, helping his big brother round the scene:
"Children, it's inevitable that you will be too nervous."
"That..."
Kinemon thought for a moment and asked with some embarrassment:
"Brother Kato, you see, we're all just unintentional..."
"Young master, he is still young, and it is indeed inconvenient to live in this cage."
"Can you let us out first, and I'll promise that we won't run away again."
"This..."
Mayor Kato's face was even more embarrassed than Kinemon:
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
"I don't have that much power."
"Why?"
Kinemon asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Brother Kato, aren't you the current Jiuli Daimyo?"
The Daimyo of Nine Miles owned everything in Nine Miles, including the right to take the life and death of all subjects within Nine Miles.
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
The surrounding coalition comrades all had the same face when they heard this, and Mayor Kato was even more choked and coughed.
"Nonsense!"
His expression suddenly became serious:
"I am now an alliance cadre who believes in the theory of Demacia, but I absolutely have no reactionary ideas of building mountains and engaging in secession, and I have nothing to do with the feudal lords of the old era."
“......”
Looking at his old friend, whose attitude had changed drastically, Kinemon couldn't help but shrink his head.
Seeing that the elder brother Kato, who had sworn to become a retainer of the Mitsuki family together, was now so scornful of the four words of the Kuri Daimyo, Kinemon finally intuitively realized that the country of Wano had already changed.
However, Kinemon stopped talking, but Mayor Kato relented a little.
It's not that he still has nostalgia for the Guangyue clan that has been destroyed for twenty years, but that he owes Kinemon a lot of favors when he was young, and he has to find a way to pay it back.
"Ugh..."
Mayor Kato sighed lightly and said:
"That's it, Kinemon-sama..."
"I'll help you get a prison out of prison."
"You will temporarily stay in the Jiuli International Hotel, and the comrades of the city bureau will be responsible for monitoring and guarding you."
................................................
Early the next morning.
Mayor Kato had just gotten out of the Coke car, and before he could enter the office building, he was stopped at the door by a group of reporters holding video bugs.
They were all like sharks that smelled blood, and their eyes were full of fanatical excitement when they looked at Mayor Kato.
"Mayor Kato, Mayor Kato!"
A reporter rushed out first and put the microphone directly in front of Mayor Kato's mouth:
"I heard that you and the terrorists who attacked Jiuli are old acquaintances, and you are still making every effort to let them stay in Jiuli International Hotel, is this true?"
"Y-You guys found out so quickly?!"
Mayor Kato blurted out a word.
Mayor Kato was really shocked by the bizarre speed of what happened last night, and a group of reporters blocked the door this morning.
However, as soon as he said it, he immediately regretted it.
Although he usually has little experience in dealing with the media, Mayor Kato is after all a person who is the number one in the local area, so he naturally knows what kind of virtue it is for those media who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and dare to write even the lace news of the leader Galen for the sake of traffic.
Listening to the wind is the rain, I hold back my strength all day long to make big news.
Sure enough, as Mayor Kato expected:
As soon as he said this, several reporters had already brewed the news headline in their notebooks:
"The deeds of using power for personal gain were revealed, and the mayor of Jiuli was at a loss in the face of reporters' inquiries"
"Wait..."
Mayor Kato relieved himself and explained to reporters:
"Don't over-interpret it."
"There is a hidden story in this case, and it is not the kind of terrorist activity that everyone imagines."
"I allowed them to be confined outside of prison because..."
Before he could finish speaking, the secretary on the side gave him a hard look and told him not to bother to talk any more.
Mayor Kato finally reacted:
In the face of these ill-intentioned journalists, everything he says now will be misinterpreted.
Sure enough, just because of the two sentences he just said, there are a few more eye-catching headlines on today's news:
"The mayor of Jiuli openly defends the terrorists, what are the interests behind it? 》
"Don't over-interpret", why is the mayor of Jiuli eager to block the reporter's mouthpiece? 》
"Terrorists Who Killed and Injured 123 People Are Feared to Be Acquitted Because of So-called "Hidden Secrets"
......
Fortunately, Mayor Kato reacted in a timely manner and did not give the reporters more room to play.
He just stiffened his head and kept his mouth shut, and squeezed out of the pile of reporters with a blue face under the escort of his secretary.
Of course, this is not difficult for journalists.
The headline of another news article is:
"In the face of the problem of terrorist attacks, the mayor of Jiuli is speechless"
Mayor Kato finally rushed out of the pile of reporters, and as soon as he entered the safe office building, he found that there was a big reporter waiting for him in the building.
Mayor Kato's face changed slightly, and his tone was a little shocked:
"Mr. Morgans?"
"Why are you here?"
"Big News" Morgans, president of the World Economic Newspaper.
He was a media mogul who could stir up the storm and sway public opinion in the era of world government, and he was also in the limelight in the era of League of Legends.
This is because, Morgans is smart enough.
After Morgans saw the shocking scene of Galen cutting down a group of Four Emperors on Cake Island, he decisively decided that the sea would change because of Galen.
With the mentality of a strange commodity, the clever newspaper tycoon began to cater to Galen's concept of justice, frantically laundered his gray industry, and devoted all the power of the World Economic News to the propaganda work of Galen and the Alliance.
Galen was able to control public opinion on the sea so easily, and used propaganda warfare to destroy the navy and the public's confidence in the world government, and Morgan played a great role.
So, in this new era, Morgans and his World Economic News still have a lot of say.
In the face of other reporters, Mayor Kato was able to say with a cold face that he had no comment.
In front of Morgans, he had to be patient and deal with it well.
Moreover, because the tone of the Morgan World Economic News has always been biased towards the official media of the alliance, Mayor Kato is not worried that this big reporter, who has some friendship with the leader Galen, will listen to the wind and rain like those reporters in the tabloids.
"Hahaha..."
Noticing Mayor Kato's shock at seeing him, Morgans couldn't help but laugh:
"I'm a journalist, how can I let go of such a big news?"
"I received the information last night, and I came overnight in a private airboat."
"Ugh..."
Mayor Kato couldn't help but sigh helplessly:
"Such a trivial matter in the local area can even bother the president of the World Economic Newspaper to dispatch?"
The World Economic News is a big media in the world, and as soon as Morgans appears, this matter will be known to the whole world.
"This is no small matter!"
Somehow, Morgans was also a little emotional:
"It may have been a small thing before, but now..."
More than 100 people were injured, and only one chicken was killed, which was not even a fart before the alliance was formed.
At that time, when would a thousand eight hundred people not die on the sea?
If you want Morgans, the president of the World Economic Society, to report it personally, it must at least be a big news of the slaughter of the city and the destruction of the country, or a big event with the participation of the four emperors and three generals, the Seven Martial Seas.
But now...
In this new era, Morgan really can't find any big news to write about.
This can be seen by looking at the press release written by Morgans in the last six months:
"Wanguo Cake Island Fairy Tale Theme Park Successfully Completed, Straw Hat Construction Team Breaks the Fastest Construction Record Again"
"Kidd Mine Survey Team Explores China's Largest Gold Mine in Alabastan, with a Potential Value of Over 800 Billion Bailey"
"Academician French of the Academy of Transportation Sciences made new contributions, and the high-speed aircraft "Coke Plane" was born
The Doctor's Kindness: An Interview with Trafalgarh Rowe, President of the First People's Hospital of Chambord
"Zero Accident Rate in Two Years: "Huo Banxian" on the Labor Reform Site
"Legendary Bucky: From Pirate to Navy to Debon Warrior, He is a true portrayal of an era"
......
In short, Morgans was full of positive energy, and there was no big news at all.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
Looking at Morgans' eager gaze, Mayor Kato sighed helplessly:
"Well, I'll tell you everything."
........................................................
Another day passed.
After the report of the World Economic News, the bizarre incident of the past traveler appearing in Jiuli has become known to the world.
The whole world is talking about this story that travels through time, and the attention is cast on Kuri, and it is on Mayor Kato and Momonosuke and the five people in the center of the vortex.
And at this time, the phone of the leader of the flower capital also called the office of the mayor of Kuri Kato:
"Kato?"
"What did you do!"
As soon as the leader opened, there was a burst of reprimands:
"To let those 'terrorists' stay in a luxury hotel?"
"What does this make the injured mass cadres think, what does the higher-level leaders think, and what do those uninformed ordinary citizens think?!"
"This..."
Kato was embarrassed for a while, but just explained:
"Leader, everything is written in the newspaper."
"You also know the situation, Kinemon they didn't mean to..."
"Enough!."
The leader interrupted Kato's words with some annoyance:
"Do you still have a little bit of the consciousness of the alliance cadres?"
"If nothing else, have you ever considered what a bad social impact you will have if you do this?"
"Regardless of the motive, the criminals did hurt people, and they should be sent to the detention center according to the rules."
"And not only did you not lock them in, but you also engaged in a 'prison out-of-prison confinement', and even arranged a luxury hotel for this group of old and young people to stay..."
"Are you paying for this hotel, or is it taxpayers' money?!"
"I..."
Mayor Kato was speechless, and he was even more ashamed of himself.
"I'll tell you..."
The leader's voice softened, but what he said made Mayor Kato's heart beat even more:
"This Mominosuke's matter, Marijoy already knows."
"They're going to send commissioners right away to take over the case and look into everything, including yours."
"This?"
Mayor Kato was frightened for a while and hurriedly asked:
"What department is going to investigate?"
"The Disciplinary Committee of the League? Inspectorate? ”
"Nope."
The leader paused and said in a deep voice:
"This has alarmed Lord Galen, and it is the National Security Council of the British Union."
"Kato, you're doing it yourself!"
With that, the leader hung up the phone.
The National Security Council of the British Union is the intelligence agency that is directly accountable to Galen himself.
Its majesty is self-evident.
Hearing the name of this unit, Mayor Kato's face turned green.
At this time, the secretary also knocked on the door and came in:
"Oh no, Mayor Kato!"
"What's wrong?"
Mayor Kato had a vague bad premonition.
"There's an accident at the hotel!"
The secretary replied with an anxious expression.
"What's the matter?"
Mayor Kato's heart was pounding, and he only felt that he had been dragged into a fire pit by his big brother Kinemon.
"That kid named Momonosuke..."
The secretary said helplessly:
"This kid thinks that the waiter in the hotel is the maid you arranged for him, so his young master has a temper attack and has been doing things to several female comrades."
"Now that the reporters know, they are probably stuck in the hotel for an interview!"
“.....”
Mayor Kato was silent for a while.
He carefully recalled the situation twenty years ago, and the little cub of the Shiyue family was indeed this virtuous.
Ota has no time to take care of his son all year round, and Mrs. Shi dotes on her only son too much, so the samurai and slaves up and down Ota Castle dare not speak out about it.
"Damn!"
Mayor Kato angrily slapped the table.
He reluctantly helped him in the affection of Kinemon, and he had no affection for that Momonosuke.
"Shameless!"
"I was kind enough to help once, he even thought that he could continue to be a noble young master?!"
Mayor Kato blushed and said without hesitation:
"Tell the detention center to send an escort car over and put this little cub in!"
