Chapter 114: Yokota Base
“…… What? Tokyo District Inspection Special Investigation Department?! ”
In the headquarters of the police station, Fang Shican held the phone, his face was a little solemn.
After hearing his subordinate's return, his eyes immediately narrowed, releasing a dangerous murderous aura.
Although Manami Mizuhara is just an ordinary high school student, those political forces and factions are as difficult to distinguish as a shadow drama behind a curtain for her.
But for Fang Shican, this name is an existence that he is all too familiar with.
The Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Investigation Division, formerly known as the "Investigation Department for the Concealment of Hidden Materials", was first established with the support of GHQ (Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Japan), and since then, it has been overshadowed by the strong will of the United States.
Although after so many years of local inspection, the Special Investigation Department has been completely merged into the Public Prosecutor's Office and has become a subordinate existence of the Public Prosecutor's Office, it is still subject to interference from the United States.
And because of the support of the United States, the power of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Search Department is very large, and both high-ranking officials and chaebols will become the target of their censorship. Even the prime minister is often prosecuted by the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office.
However, the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office is still nominally a local agency in Japan, and over time, the American color within its agency has become less and less subtle, and the heads of the agencies in the past decade or so have been local figures who have no background in studying or working in the United States, and the will of the National Public Prosecutor's Office is becoming more and more able to carry out its entire purpose.
However, today's Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office Special Search Department still deviates from the Prime Minister's side.
Because the current senior officials of the Public Prosecutor's Office are all members of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) behind the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister summoned the head of the National Police Agency Headquarters and the Minister of Defense at the secret meeting that day, but he still did not invite the head of the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Of course, because the authority of the current prime minister since he came to power is so great, they have to be careful not to be seized by the prime minister to expel him from the prosecutor's office.
But...... Obviously they have been hiding their heads and tails for so long, why would they suddenly throw cold arrows now and take away the girl Manami Mizuhara who is suspected of having a connection with the gods?
Fang Shican thought about these questions and continued to talk to his subordinates:
"Track the tracks of the vehicles of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Special Investigation Department and make sure to stop them before they enter the prosecutor's office building."
Fang Shican commanded, but a slightly panicked voice came from the mouth of his subordinates:
"No...... Mr. Fang Shi...... Their car did not drive towards the Public Prosecutor's Office building, but headed in the direction of leaving Tokyo...... Over there, it seems to be in the direction of Yokota Air Base! ”
Yokota Air Base?!
Fang Shican's pupils constricted.
At this moment, he felt the hairs on his back stand on end.
Behind the Prosecutor's Office...... Have those people in the Liberal Democratic Party completely defected to the United States?!!
……
……
……
Manami Mizuhara sat in the back seat of the car. Looking at the scenery outside the window, he suddenly frowned.
"This doesn't seem to be the way to the police headquarters."
"As I said earlier, Miss Manami, we are members of the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, and we should go to the Public Prosecutor's Office."
Tachibana smiled in response.
But Manami Mizuhara didn't accept this explanation, she turned her head and looked at Tachibana Asuke seriously.
"I remember the building on the side of the police headquarters, and the Public Prosecutor's Office building was near it — and now it looks like the road is going outside of Tokyo."
Tachibana Chaosuke frowned, probably didn't expect Manami to be so fine, but it was only for a moment, and he frowned and let go.
"Miss Manami, your thoughts are indeed delicate—but trust us, we have no ill will, and this is for ...... Japan's future. ”
Japan's Future?
Mizuhara Manami, who never thought that she would be associated with such an ethereal thing, instantly tensed her back, she looked at Tachibana Assuke in a daze, and shook her head:
"What does the future of Japan have to do with me as a high school student? If Japan's future rests on a 16-year-old female high school student like me...... Then there really isn't any future, right? Please stop, I'm going back. ”
Manami Mizuhara's voice didn't make Tachibana Assuke's face react in any way, but his eyes became a little colder.
"This is the behavior of the state organs, Miss Manami, don't be so childish."
Manami Mizuhara sniffled, and her hand reached into her bag, as if rummaging for something:
"Then I'll give my parents a call, okay? If I go back too late, it might worry them. ”
However, Tachibana Chaosuke held down her hand for a moment, his eyes were like knives, with a sharp smile:
"Miss Manami, please don't do this kind of misleading behavior."
“…… But my parents ......."
"Rest assured, your parents—they've been invited to their destination, don't worry."
Hearing this, in an instant, Manami Mizuhara's face changed greatly.
……
"Prime Minister......
On the way to the prime minister's official residence, before arriving, Fang Shican had already called the emergency line in the prime minister's office by phone to inform him of the news.
But while informing, there are more and more doubts in his heart.
…… Why do Americans want to take Manami Mizuhara?
…… Why is the LDP so firmly on their side?
…… Obviously, her side has investigated Manami Mizuhara many times, and after analysis, she is not an extraordinary person now, but in the process of contact with that god, she has received some gifts and her physical fitness has been enhanced...... Could it be that the Americans and the Liberal Democratic Party know something more about that deity?
All kinds of doubts piled up in his heart, but these doubts could not be solved for a while, Fang Shican quickened his pace and rushed towards the prime minister's residence.
……
Yokota Air Force Base.
The commander-in-chief of the airbase, four-star General Robert, sat in his office at the top of the security building, opening the windows to allow the wind to flow in smoothly.
And in the office, another blonde man sat on the couch, playing with something.
"John, the plan is halfway through, and that Miss Manami will be taken to the base in ten minutes...... In this way, the LDP was completely tied to the ship of war.
"Their political power is no weaker than this cabinet, or even stronger. Although it is now in the opposition, it is enough to curb the prime minister's small ambitions - it seems that this crisis can be solved without rising to the level of the introduction of a congressional sanctions bill. ”
Robert's expression was very relaxed, and the sound of the wind blowing in his ears sounded like a small sonata.
"For this country, 'day by day' is the best option at any time. The prime minister made a mistake...... He thought that transcendents alone could be a decisive strategic force, but he forgot that Japan's citizens need to eat, and Japanese companies need economic circulation – and that most of Japan's overseas assets, more than $10 trillion, are in the United States, and are mainly held by chaebols and affiliates behind the Liberal Democratic Party. In this respect, the current prime minister is making the same mistake his peers made decades ago. ”
John continued to play with the object in his hand in a leisurely manner.
"However, the problems of Japan are put aside for now, and this is what I am most concerned about right now."
The man named John Folsen, who is now the commander of intelligence for the Seventh Fleet, had a curious glint in his eyes.
"-When you send this thing and the girl named Manami back to China, I don't know what kind of research results will be obtained?"
He smiled slightly, lightly tossed the thing in his hand, and then took it casually and placed it beside him.
- It was a wooden pendant in the shape of a tree!
