Chapter XXIII: Accountability
CHAPTER XXIII
"You just said you know what's wrong? Tell me about it? Youpeng leaned back and changed into a comfortable position.
Fujita also realized at this time that something might be wrong. But I still have to bite the bullet.
"Two of my subordinates may have been coerced last night......"
"Coerced?" Yama directly interrupted Fujita's words.
"You haven't thought about anything else? Last night, the police throughout Kyoto were mobilized to carry out your firefighting mission. You didn't even think about the consequences? ”
“.…..” Fujita finally sensed something was wrong. Looking at Shanxian 's face, he was gloomy and almost frozen, but his tone was unhurried. This gives Fujita a sense of pre-storm tranquility. The current Yama County is like an active volcano, and the interior is already boiling and turbulent. There is only one spark left, and it will rush out furiously.
"I just got the message. Just last night, four members of the Reichstag were killed. Three cabinet members were also killed, as well as a member of the royal family. What is the most serious, you know? Almost all of them succeeded in sending out distress signals. But all the police are on the outskirts. Without support, the country's political institutions suffered irreparable damage. I have just been asked to go to Congress for questioning. ”
“.…..” Fujita wrenched his mouth and wanted to say something. But in the end, nothing was spoken. With his political wisdom, he could not think of any way out of this situation. Of course, what he didn't know was that Shan County had already thought of a way out. That is to hand him over as a scapegoat.
It's just that this incident is too serious, and Fujita's level is obviously not enough. Shanxian knew that his faction was afraid that it would have to pay a huge price. After a decade of hard work, the reformists finally suppressed the conservatives in an all-round way. But today it is inevitable to cede a lot of vested interests.
Shan Shan is not worried about himself, and the reformers will definitely protect him. Because he was a descendant of Mr. Saigo Moritaka and the most important pawn of the reformers in Kyoto's affairs. It's just that if something so big happens on his side, Mr. Saigo's face will be very ugly.
Yama County regrets it now, why did he believe Fujita's unreliable information? But in that case, there are only two options: believe or disbelieve. Either one is a similar risk. If I hadn't chosen to believe it. If Kyoto is really on fire, then he will go to court-martial.
Yamayama's face changed constantly, and Fujita on the side hesitated for a long time, and finally only held back a sentence.
"I'm sorry."
Yama County Youpeng's thinking was interrupted. He looked up in displeasure and looked at his most loyal subordinate.
"Fujita, the situation is serious right now, and I need you to be mentally prepared. You...... There is a certain amount of responsibility. ”
"I understand Mr. Yamasan. I'll take all the responsibility. ”
'You take on a fart. You have friends in Shan County who did not say this. Just motioned for his guard to take Fujita down, and then the whole person was tired and cuffed to the seat.
On the other hand, Lu Qiming's plan to burn Kyoto is also ongoing. No one ever said that dangerous items must be hidden in those dark corners. In fact, after having a large sum of money in hand. Lu Qiming asked different people under his command to buy a large number of properties in various places in Kyoto.
It's all ordinary houses that don't much that people pay attention to. There are also some taverns, restaurants and the like of buildings. All of these properties can be found throughout the bustling districts of Kyoto. Those flammable materials are piled up at home in the open. In this era, there are no cameras, no Skynet system, and the police system is just starting. Many things are far simpler than you think.
And the most critical point is that Lu Qiming does not need any return. Or that there is no need for anything in return from this world. All he wanted was the feedback from the Lord God after the burning of Kyoto. For this world, for this city. He's the clown. Creating chaos and destruction without the slightest purpose. This kind of murderer is difficult for any criminal investigation police department to grasp. What's more, Lu Qiming himself is hiding in the Police Department.
Fujita has lost almost all fighting spirit. Last night, on the spur of the moment, I made a desperate bet. But Russia soon came. His brain was now in a mess and he could barely think. He only knew that he was finished, and he might even implicate Mr. Shan County. This made him regret it.
He had now realized that two of his subordinates had not disappeared, but had defected. I don't know when, and I don't know why. But it's true that they don't have their own people anymore.
Everything last night was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against him, against the Police Department. The two men sent him false messages to lure him into discovering a plot that didn't exist. His impatient actions emptied the entire Kyoto police force, which led to the murder of many Diet and Cabinet ministers. What's even more terrifying is that a member of the royal family died last night.
Despite being only a peripheral member of the royal family. But the pedigree is there. It is said that the emperor was furious and had already sent an envoy, and the great responsibility fell on the National Police Agency.
He didn't stay in the police department's cell for long. A colleague walked in and handed him some food and water.
"Mr. Fujita, let's have something to eat. We have been ordered to escort you to Congress for questioning in half an hour. You may not have a food supply anytime soon. ”
The person who came was a police officer that Fujita was not very familiar with. This is also a matter of course, it is naturally impossible for his cronies to escort him at such a moment.
After a busy night, Fujita didn't drink a sip of water. Now it's really hungry and thirsty. I quickly finished eating food and water, and then didn't let my colleagues wait longer.
"Let's go. I know that the current situation will not make it difficult for you. ”
"Okay, Mr. Fujita. We're sorry, but you'll have to take off your police uniform, and we've confiscated your swords and guns. That's the request above, sorry we can't be the master. ”
"I understand." Fujita did not resist and left the prison with the two officers.
Instead of going down the hall, they went through the back door. This relieved Fujita, who was originally a little worried. These colleagues are still very caring, at least to avoid their own embarrassment.
Out of the police department, there was a horse-drawn carriage waiting, and three other people were waiting there. Two police officers, and one who doesn't know each other. Fujita guessed that it was someone sent from above.
The carriage set off and left the police station unhurriedly. At the same time, on Lu Qiming's side, after many investigations, Lu Qiming also got rid of all suspicions. But drunkenness and delay in official work still have to be punished. Lu Qiming was directly suspended. He left the police station almost at the same time as the carriage, and even the route seemed to be the same.
