Chapter 67 Gambling on the fortunes of the country

At the moment when Fang Shican's voice sounded, Mio Ito suddenly stared at him.

For the first time since meeting this man, a sharp expression appeared on her face.

Even the moment she was targeted, the hairs on her back stood on end, as if she was being stare at by a beast and regarded as prey.

However, for some reason, the horror that Fang Shican felt at this moment was far less terrifying than the one he felt when he first met Mio Ito in the tree-lined path.

…… Perhaps, it's because of the girl's undisguised expression that makes him feel a little more human.

"The cause of my father's death?"

Mio Ito's mind recalled the man's face.

- Hiromi Ito, who was the head of the inspection department at the time, but since the two of them vaguely realized what Mio Ito did in elementary school, the man stopped coming home......

- The words he uttered at that time, "I hope you, at all times, will not hurt others." It almost became a precept engraved in Mio Ito's heart, and it was not broken until he became a transcendent and moved towards his ideal world......

- Hiromi Ito himself died ten years ago, and at that time it was only known that he died in the line of duty, and Mio Ito did not investigate the cause of his death. Because she could vaguely feel that after glimpsing some of the essence of her heart from the side, Ito Hiromi became a little disheartened, so all along, she had a vague feeling that maybe dying in the position of a police officer was a choice made by Hiromi Ito herself, and she herself and Hiromi Ito's death had an inseparable connection......

But, why, at this moment, right here, this man named Fang Shican, would ask such a sentence-

"Miss Mio...... Do you want to know the real cause of your father's death? ”

"What was the cause of my father's death?"

Mio Ito's eyes wandered between Hiromi Ito's former colleague Kishiran and the cabinet's secretary for general affairs and security, Fang Shican, and his gaze did not have the arrogance of a high-ranking person, but with a stronger sense of oppression.

Facing this line of sight, both Zuoran on the shore and Fang Shican lowered their heads slightly.

"Here, there is a report on the death of Mr. Hiromi Ito, which has been sealed in the dust for ten years."

Fang Shican lowered his head and handed the information in his hand to Mio Ito.

And at the same time as Mio Ito opened the information, the guilt-filled voice of Saran on the shore also sounded in the room.

In his mouth, a deliberately sealed story is opened from distant history.

"I remember it was ten years ago in the summer, less than three days before Mr. Hiroshi died."

……

"I remember it was ten years ago in the summer, less than three days before Mr. Hiroshi died."

More than 100 kilometers from the center of Tokyo, in the Koban building in Manocho, the voice of the shore Saran full of guilt sounded in the office of the prime minister's official residence.

Although the sound became somewhat distorted after arriving here, the slight error did not matter.

And this office, which was originally empty and empty, is now full of various instruments, and it looks like a laboratory, but the object of research is neither physical phenomena nor biological materials, but a huge screen placed on the wall of the room, which is divided into small pieces, which is the scene in the room where Mio Ito is located in the Koban Building at this time.

Every picture is clearly captured by a high-precision camera, and it is not known how that room in the Koban building can accommodate so many covert cameras.

Dozens of researchers in white coats sat solemnly in front of the instrument, constantly recording and feeding back and forth between the results and the data delivered through the computer at hand.

"What is the attitude of the target person?"

"The psychological model based on past data is about at the level of '57 percent.'"

"Is there a danger of 'berserk'?"

"The probability is 27 percent, don't worry about it for the time being."

The researchers communicated with each other, frequently recording the latest data transmitted by sensors pre-embedded in the room, including Mio Ito's body temperature, breathing rate, the number of blinks, and subtle body movements...... A set of "emergency psychological models" has been established, showing the degree of danger in Ito's psychological state at the moment.

These researchers, are experts temporarily transferred from top national universities and top research institutes, their research directions include psychology, computer, biology, etc., and many researchers also have interdisciplinary research experience, everyone present, each of them is enough to get a tenured professorship in the top 50 universities in Japan and even the United States, and they are the essence of related disciplines in Japan, but they were almost all invited, all just to assess Ito's psychological state in real time, to prevent possible dangers.

The prime minister sat behind a mahogany table, his eyes leaping over the researcher's apparatus and watching closely at the real-time images that appeared on the screen, and the story continued in the Koban building in Manocho, and the voice of Saran on the shore was heard through a loudspeaker.

……

"At that time, I was basically on duty with Hiroshi.

Although he is a few years older than Hiroshi, he has no commendable achievements, nor does he have Hiroshi's pursuit of justice. So at that time, I was basically doing the work of assisting Hongshi, and my rank was one level lower than him.

"It's one level below him, but I'm not unhappy about it. Because in my opinion, with Hongshi's own quality, even if he becomes a police department, it is not a big deal, and he is about to become a police department. However, about twelve or thirteen years ago, he suddenly seemed dazed and absent-minded for a while, which caused something to go wrong at work, and the promotion to the police department was also disappointed. But then he focused more on his work, and I think he probably just experienced some small twists and turns. Ahem, that's some nonsense, I'll keep talking......

"It's the same mission. Ten years ago, that summer, Hiromi and I traveled to Yokohama to deal with a serial murder incident that traveled from Tokyo to the region. Hiroshi, as always, completed the task excellently, and accurately caught the prisoner after carefully checking the clues.

"After handing over the prisoner to the colleague who took over, we did not return to Tokyo, because the work went unexpectedly well, and we were ready to celebrate, so we found an izakaya in Yokohama, got drunk, and did not leave the izakaya until nightfall to return to the hotel.

“…… The inn is located at the junction of Yokosuka City and Yokohama, and is usually only accessible by cars from the national highway. So after nightfall it is very desolate.

"That night, we walked back to the hotel together. But on the way back, I heard a few screams.

"Both Hiroshi and myself are police officers, and the moment I hear the screams, I wake up most of the time because of the sudden stimulation. So the two of us immediately ran in the direction of the sound, and soon saw the source of the scream-

"There were a couple of high school girls, pestering a group of U.S. troops in Navy uniforms, shivering and hugging each other, and the U.S. soldiers were laughing obscenely, looking like they were drinking more than the two of us, and they were rampantly surrounding them, pulling them apart, trying to separate each other.

"I can see it very clearly - with the arm strength of this group of American soldiers, they may easily tear this group of girls apart one by one. The reason why I gave them a chance to hug each other was just to play with them.

"Listening to the conversation between the U.S. military and them, it seems that this group of girls are local high school students in Yokohama, and they took advantage of the vacation to go to the next city to play, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the way home."

Seeing this scene, both me and Hongshi were very angry. I want to call for support and have the local Koban police resolve the dispute. But Hongshi found that the female students were about to be pulled away, and felt that it was too late to call for help. So before I had time to stop it, I had already rushed out and stood in front of the group of American soldiers, reasoning with them.

“…… The American soldiers were also stunned for a moment when they saw the man who suddenly appeared, but they did not retreat, and the appearance of Hiroshi aroused their antagonism. The U.S. soldiers want to push Hongshi away, but Hongshi is like a wall that is always firmly guarded in front of the girls, and keeps reasoning with them. Eventually, the U.S. soldiers seemed to be a little annoyed and took out their pistols from their arms to warn Hiroshi, who was undaunted and took out his pistol and police ID card in front of them...... But at this moment, one of the soldiers broke out, pointed his gun at Hiroshi, and fired several shots in succession - 'Bang bang bang! ’

“…… Then I saw Hiromi fall. ”

There was a long silence.

I could only hear the sound of Zuoran's convulsive breathing on the shore, and the "rustle" of the pages of paper being turned over as the girl quietly flipped through the materials.

After a long time, the girl's voice finally sounded.

"And then?"

Even at this moment, her voice was strangely calm.

However, the voice of Zuoran on the shore has become intermittent because of the overly strong emotional impulse.

"Later...... The U.S. troops fell because of Hiroshi...... It seems that he has regained his senses...... Leaving the scene...... The girls also fled.

"I called an ambulance urgently, and there were other police officers...... But Hiroshi's life could not be saved......

"Woo-ha...... Please forgive me...... I'm too cowardly...... At that time, I could only stand there...... Watching Hongshi fall...... I couldn't rush out with him to fight the American soldiers......

“…… So after Hiroshi's death, I tried to gather evidence...... I want ...... At least let those soldiers be punished by the law...... However, the US military base directly blocked the matter...... And the superiors also demanded that the matter be resolved smoothly...... So...... Even in the end...... Hiroshi failed to get a fair result...... Even the cause of death has not been released......

"That's how incompetent I am...... In the end, nothing can be done, both cowardly and powerless...... I lost all my desire to be motivated and my enthusiasm for work...... That's where it is...... I just want to be swallowed up by the guilt in my heart for the rest of my life in this exchange, until today, I see you again......"

The voice of Saran on the shore twitched strongly, and his body left the chair and knelt deeply in front of Mio Ito.

"Xiao Mio...... No, Miss Ito...... Please punish me...... Whatever I do, it's what I should bear......"

The man's body knelt in front of Mio Ito, his arched back twitching.

But Mio Ito didn't seem to see him, and she just indifferently flipped through the information in her hand.

One by one, one by one.

In the Prime Minister's office, the analysis of mental models is becoming more and more difficult.

"This performance coincides with the expected result by less than 20 ......"

"The model needs to be rebuilt!"

"How about a different measurement system?"

The researchers frowned or marveled, and the office was filled with the sound of instruments running.

And in the Jiaoban building, the girl finally spoke again at this time.

"Why, you couldn't catch those soldiers?"

Mio Ito put the information in her hand on the table, staring at Fang Shican, but still ignoring the shore Saran who was still sobbing at her feet.

"It was a decision of the previous prime minister and the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the current government was desperate to reconcile relations with the United States, so the Metropolitan Police Department regarded this matter as a 'destabilizing factor' that undermined Japan-US relations.

Moreover, among the soldiers who attacked the girl that day was a young man in the service, who at the time was only a captain, but he was from the famous political family of the United States, the Folsom family.

"His name is John Folson, and he has the rank of colonel, and he also has the status of commander-in-chief of the Seventh Fleet stationed in the port of Yokosuka."

Fang Shican replied softly.

On the other side, at the same time as Fang Shican's voice sounded, in the office that originally looked like a laboratory, the researchers were also temporarily invited out, leaving only the prime minister alone.

He looked closely at the picture on the screen, listened to Fang Shican's voice, and tapped his fingers on the table with great regularity, showing a rare expression as if he was about to win the game.

On the screen, after hearing what Fang Shican said, the sobbing on the shore stopped, and his body had quietly moved to the side.

The girl looked up and looked at him thoughtfully.

"I see......

“…… But why are you telling me this? ”

Fang Shican did not answer.

It wasn't something he could answer.

He just raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

On the white screen behind him, the picture in the prime minister's office nearly 100 kilometers away was presented, and the prime minister's solemn and resolute face appeared in the center of the screen.

"The United States has occupied our country for more than 80 years. Whether it's Yokosuka or Okinawa, there are many similar things. This is not only Miss Mio's family feud, but also the hatred of our country.

“…… So, Miss Mio Ito, are you willing to become the pioneer of a new era in Japan, expel the United States, and join us in making Japan rise among the nations of the world?"

I finally finished writing these three changes, and the third update is 4,000 words, breaking 10,000 words on the first day, which can be regarded as meeting the expectations at the beginning.

The delay for so long is mainly to think about how to move forward next - and how to eat chicken in Genting. In the end, I finally won the first place by relying on the three-star demon queen, which is rare.
