Chapter 37 Section thirty-fifth

The corners of the eyes felt slightly tight. Mikami drove towards the city, only thinking about where he was going next.The official residence of Akama Police Minister. I'm in a mess.He managed to take down Amamiya with the "tear offensive", but the tears were completely unexpected.For the sake of Ayumi and Minako, it doesn't matter what kind of means she uses.Maybe there is such a thought deep in my heart.And Yugong was really moved by his tears, thinking they were tears of apology.He can't accept this kind of himself, accomplishing the task unconsciously, completely playing with his family members...

As he got farther and farther away from Amamiya's house, Mikami's sense of guilt became weaker and weaker.Regardless of the process, the result is everything.I was about to give up, but I didn't expect to swing a goodbye home run.When the residential area of ​​the minister's residence came into view, the sun also shot into his chest at the same time.This selfish mentality made Mikami heave a sigh of relief.What happened to me just now?Suddenly shed tears in front of others.Looking back on my past, I have never had such a gaffe, and I have no confidence in being able to live with myself like this in the future.

Wanting to report to Akama immediately is also out of calculation.The day before yesterday, when Chi Jian yelled at him, saying that he was an incompetent publicity officer, the time between the two stopped moving forward.He wasn't really sure he'd be able to reach a settlement with the press club ahead of the inspection.Even if Amamiya is willing to accept condolences, if the reporter refuses to conduct a surprise interview with the chief, it is still meaningless.So at the stage when Amemiya was finally settled, he really wanted to get some positive comments from Akama first.If he didn't do this step, he was afraid that his guilt towards the criminal department would come back again.The execution ground is ready, but what is the crime and punishment of the criminal department?He couldn't be ignorant of the real purpose of the chief's inspection and stay out of it. In order to find out the truth, he had to go to see Akama.

The road covered with a row of ministerial residences was shrouded in holiday tranquility. He parked his car on the shoulder of the road, walked about ten meters away, and pressed the doorbell of the police minister's residence. The tone of Akama's answer to the door sounded very unpleasant.Is it because you no longer have any expectations for Mikami?It's normal for the special examination team to hate people visiting during non-working hours, but he didn't really care if he could handle Amemiya, so didn't he call Ishii just now? "I want to report to you about the matter of Yugong."

His tone sounded less impatient than before, and the entrance door opened a little.He didn't wear glasses, and he was dressed in a sweater and suit pants, which was so light that he thought it was someone else at first glance.The drooping shoulders and thin chest are especially noticeable.It turned out that the usual majesty was supported by well-tailored suits and gold-rimmed glasses.But when he opened his mouth, he was still the usual Akama. "I'm troubled by your sudden appearance, next time I have to go through Ishii." "Yoshio Amamiya is willing to accept condolences."

Mikami quickly expressed his intention to come. Akama showed an "Oh?" expression, and asked Mikami to go to the door to take off his shoes, but he didn't intend to invite him into the house, and stood on the door frame one step higher, wearing slippers. "Sir, you can enter Yugong's house, and you can also offer incense, right?" "Yugong has personally agreed." A woman's laughter came from the room, it must have been the weekend to get my wife in Tokyo to come over!No wonder Akama is so impatient, he must be disgusted by foreign objects getting into his private area.

"And then? Is the parking place settled?" "There is space in the front yard of the main house to park a couple of cars." "The front yard is too close! Can't you let the chief walk a few steps before being surrounded by reporters after leaving Amamiya's house?" "If it's the road in front of the house, there's plenty of space." "If it's the road in front of the house, can the main house be used as the background?" The fact that Akama didn't ignore even small details made Mikami even more certain that the agency wanted to use the 64 victim's home as the place to send the letter no matter what.

"The focus is on the pictures on the TV. The officer is answering the reporter's questions outside with the solemn look he had when he was offering incense... Can you show this feeling?" "I think it's all right. As long as you shoot from the road side, the main house will appear behind the officer." "Don't just think about it. You have to rehearse the day before, and you must be foolproof." Not a word of condolence.However, judging by the expression on his brows, Akama was in a good mood.It seems that there is no need to pursue the issue of the press club's threat to boycott the press conference. Do you think that as long as you have a good communication with people at the level of the sub-bureau chief at tomorrow's media meeting, do you think that big things can be turned into small things?Or is there another trick up your sleeve?

There was laughter again in the room. "Go back after the report! I still have something to do..." "minister." When Mikami interrupted him, he must not forget that there was another purpose for this trip. "Sorry, I have one more question to ask." "What's up?" Akama's eyes flicked to the room, looking absent-minded. "What is the purpose of the chief's speech?" For a split second, Chima's eyes faltered, but it was only for a split second. "What are you talking about? The officer will only answer reporters' questions, and will not say whatever he wants."

"I know that." If you offend Chijian at this time, the loss outweighs the gain, but... "The Criminal Department appears to have become sensitive." "Really?" "It's basically a state of explosiveness. As long as the matter of Koda's manuscript is mentioned, he will immediately fly into a rage." "Koda's Letter...?" Unexpectedly, Akama showed a puzzled expression.Is he playing dumb?Or really don't know? "I don't understand what you're saying, please speak clearly." "I mean……" Mikami swallowed back what he was going to say next.In case Akama really doesn't know, speaking out will only make things more complicated.There was only one thing he wanted to know, and that was the real purpose of the officer's inspection.

"As a publicity officer, I must grasp all the circumstances, so please tell me the real intention of this department." "Can you improve a little too?" Akama said impatiently. "So what do you know? The broadcast room is just a loudspeaker on the wall. The broadcast room is somewhere else, and only a handful of people can pick up the microphone, so you understand?" The loudspeaker on the wall... very few people... Mikami couldn't make any response, so he just let his eyes fall to his feet.Just at this time…… "Dad, are you still okay?" A pair of white socks slid down the corridor with a delicate sound.About to be in the first and second grades of junior high school, she is a girl with round eyes and a petite figure.One and Mikami's eyes met, and they immediately hid behind the pillar like a hide-and-seek. Akama smiled all over his face. "Sorry, sorry, wait for me to download!" "If you don't go out, it will be too late!" "It doesn't matter, there is still a period of time from entering the stage to the beginning of the performance." "But Mom said there might be a traffic jam on the road." "I know, I know, Xiaoya and Ah Liang got in the car first and waited for me." Unable to stay any longer, San Shang bowed and said: "Then, I shall take my leave." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, there was a chuckle in his ear.Looking back, the girl who was still half hidden behind the pillar was looking at Mikami with one eye.She put her hand over her mouth and seemed to be holding back a smile. An indescribable feeling came to my heart. Goosebumps all over my body.He had a feeling that he saw his own face from the girl's eyes looking at him.Not through a mirror, not through a photograph, but through the reflection of my own face in the eyes of others... He felt a little bit of Ayumi's mood. I really want to take something to cover myself and hide.The girl's crescent-shaped eyes, which were supposed to be endearing, felt like the eyes of a devil, the eyes of a criminal.
