Tokyo Police - v17 Chapter 60

“You are welcome to come and participate in our resident discussion meeting. After the meeting is over, I have to trouble you to fill out this questionnaire!””

The next morning, in the Shinjuku Ward Office. The police officers from the Shinjuku City Central Police Station are warmly receiving the residents of Kabukicho who have arrived one after another. This time, the residents’ meeting was held in person by the current Chief of the National Police Agency, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, so the scale was naturally unusual. Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that many residents living in this area have also come here, wanting to see this senior bureaucrat of the Metropolitan Police Department, who is only in his twenties.

When the time for the recollection was approaching, Keiko, who was meeting with Lin Shuichi in the lounge, suddenly asked him about the progress of the investigation into the escape from the Tokyo Detention Center in Katsushika Ward a while ago.

“Xiuichi-kun, how is the investigation of Kuroda’s case… Are there any new clues?”

Hearing that Jingzi really asked about the case, Lin Xiuyi thought for a while, and then explained to Jingzi seriously:

“I’m really sorry, we haven’t made any progress on the whereabouts of Akio Kuroda and the other suspects involved, but… We were reminded by the video, so we investigated some related circumstances of former Congressman Masashi Hojo, and we found that, Whether it is the murder at the Ginza Imperial Hotel that led to the imprisonment of Hojo Shishi 20 years ago, or the experience of Hojo Shishi’s death in prison, there are many doubts. For example, the case 20 years ago , the murderer Hojo Qi Shi wiped off the victim’s fingerprints in the room, but left only one of his own fingerprints, and it was still in a place where the switch is not easy to ignore. I think, among them, It’s really incredible!”

…

Hearing Lin Xiuyi suddenly mentioning the name Hojo Qishi, Jingzi’s heart couldn’t help being touched. It was the softest scar in her heart, and the scar that she didn’t want to be mentioned the most!

“Officer chief? Office chief!”

“Ah? I’m so sorry, I suddenly thought of something else just now, ah… huh!”

Just when Lin Xiuyi pulled Jingzi back from her memory, she gently raised her hand and wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen from the corners of her eyes. Then she smiled and said to Lin Xiuyi:

“I didn’t expect you to be so attentive, Lin Police Department! Even the case from twenty years ago has been investigated so carefully!”

“There, you are really over the top, I just want to find out the motives of Kuroda Akio for doing this!”

…

Just when Jingzi was talking to Lin Xiuyi, his secretary suddenly walked up to Jingzi and reminded her:

“Officer, the residents have almost all arrived, you are now…”

“Ah… Xiuyi-kun, let’s talk later!”

When Jingzi finished saying this, he immediately got up and stood up from his seat. Lin Xiu immediately got up and packed Jingzi’s luggage until Jingzi walked past him. Lin Xiuyi then straightened up and came back, following him behind the opponent.

…

“Next, welcome the arrival of the Chief of the National Police Agency, Chief Cabinet Secretary, Miss Keiko Nagao!”

As the police staff in the venue introduced Jingzi’s identity to the residents present, many residents were immediately surprised to see a very young, but very tolerant lady come to the venue, and then stood on the stage to say The people in the audience bowed deeply.

…

“very young…”

“I remember her. She was the one who apologized to the little girl who couldn’t walk on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department last time on TV. She…she’s really a bureaucrat!”

“Yeah, not only is she beautiful, but most importantly, she doesn’t have the feeling of being aloof! Ah… Such a good-looking and talented woman is really enviable!”

…

With Jingzi’s appearance, there was a small chatter from the audience. When Jingzi saw this situation, he just felt that he was not surprised. She smiled and was silent for a moment, and then said enthusiastically to everyone present:

“Thank you very much for your hard work today to participate in today’s meeting. Keiko Shimo-Nagao is a bureaucrat of the National Police Agency. I feel that the crime rate in the Kabukicho area of ​​Shinjuku has increased year by year in recent years, which is really helpful to everyone. My colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department are deeply guilty of this. So… in order to change the security situation in this area. We have formulated some new measures to improve the security situation in Kabukicho. Now… I would like to hear from you all. What’s your opinion?”

“Excuse me…what kind of new measures?”

“Um… It’s about strengthening the management of business content in the Kabukicho area… The Metropolitan Police Department will join hands with the Shinjuku Central Police Station to strengthen the crackdown on illegal custom businesses in the Shinjuku Kabukicho area in the near future.”

…

Hearing that the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency suddenly said that he would strengthen the crackdown on illegal custom businesses. The many residents present were all blown away at once.

“Wait a minute, if this is the case, will there be many police officers on the streets of Kabukicho? If this is the case, we really can’t do business!”

“That’s right, the current business is already very bad. I didn’t expect that even the police would want to intervene. How are you going to live?”

…

Hearing how the residents in the audience were talking about it, Jingzi did not show any surprise. Instead, she kept smiling all the time, waiting for everyone to quiet down.

…

After many residents complained for a while, Jingzi stretched out his hand, pulled the microphone in front of him, and then said to everyone in the audience in a sincere tone:

“I’m sorry, I think… everyone may have misunderstood me!”

“The starting point of what I just said to strengthen the crackdown on illegal custom businesses in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, is to protect the law-abiding and honest shopkeepers like everyone here!”

“Everyone thinks, over the years, why is Kabukicho’s business getting worse and worse, and the security is getting worse. The reason is that some businesses are unwilling to use legitimate business practices to run their stores, but instead He focused his energy on how to break through the restrictions of the Metropolitan Police Department and colluded with the forces of the yakuza organization to exclude others. In this way, under the effect of bad money driving out good money, the merchants in Kabukicho operating the legal customs industry can only live It’s getting more and more sad, and we at the Police Department have this plan in place to change that.”
