Chapter 39 Section thirty-seven

Since they are pawns on the same chessboard, Mikami will not be surprised by the coincidence. Presumably Erdu is the same.I saw him walking straight along the road with a row of official residences towards Sanshang, his expression and pace were the same as usual, and he was wearing the same suit as usual.Are you here to see Akama?Or maybe he just came out of another mansion.When it first appeared in sight, Erdu was behind the official residence of the headquarter and the official residence of the criminal minister.It wouldn't be surprising if he was visiting Minister Tsujiuchimoto.Akama still doesn't know the existence of Koda's Letter, so Erdu may have acted under the "imperial decree" of the headquarter.

San got off the car and assumed the posture of waiting for a long time.When the distance between each other is shortened to a certain extent, the sound is made. "Minister Akama is out." Er Du continued to walk forward without a word.Seeing his expression at close range is very serious.His gaze subtly avoided Mikami. "You have so many moves!" Mikami stared into his eyes and said.Erdu still stared straight ahead, only replied: "Everyone, each other." He walked past Sanshang without looking back. --This guy. Mikami turned around, followed behind that thin figure obliquely, and when he reached the end of the outer wall of the police minister's mansion, he caught up and walked side by side with him.Er Du turned at the corner of the intersection and walked into the alley.His dark blue car was parked a little further on, where the road was wider.

"What did you have a secret conversation with the minister?" Nothing happens. "Aren't you talking? It's really cold!" "Sorry, I'm in a hurry." You can tell by the look on his face that what he said is true. "I already know what the contents of Koda's Letter are?" This sentence was said to make him stop.However, Erdu still didn't stop.Instead, he quickened his pace, took out the car key from the pocket of his trousers, and opened the anti-theft lock with the remote control. "What are you going to do with the Criminal Department?"

Erdu didn't answer, and reached out to the driver's door. "Wait a moment!" Mikami said in a low voice, using his body to block between Erdu and the car door. "Didn't I say I was in a hurry?" Erdu frowned, and Mikami showed the same expression. "I'm also in a hurry." "Then go and do your business!" "What is the officer going to say when he comes to inspect?" "Nothing to do with you." "Related, I don't want to become an accomplice in bringing down the criminal department without knowing it."

"Just a little thing." Mikami doubted his ears.trifle?Is that what he said? Mikami lowered his voice and said: "You heard me clearly. Koda's Letter is Pandora's box. It is a bomb that would wipe out even the D-prefectural police, not to mention the Criminal Department." "so what?" "What did you say?" "Step aside." After Erdu finished speaking impatiently, he reached out to the car door again.But the arm was caught by Mikami. "Are you going to sell the D prefectural police to Tokyo?" Mikami's hand was thrown away violently, the strength is astonishing.

"Don't look at things with your superficial eyes. There is no county police department. The police are a whole community of life." Mikami was careless for a moment, and his body was pushed away forcefully.Er Du's thin body smoothly slid into the driver's seat and started the engine. "Wait a minute!" Mikami's voice was drowned out by the sound of the accelerating engine. He ran to his car in three steps and two steps, jumped into the car and started the engine.There are a bunch of traffic lights on the main road in front of Erdu, and he can still catch up now.

You can't just listen to that sentence. The police are a whole life community... Is this the logic of Er Du's behavior?Even broken hands, feet, and tails are not hesitating.In the pursuit of the overall best interests, the crisis in the criminal department can be treated as a trivial matter.Even if the D county police to which he belongs will suffer huge losses, he is willing.The question is, what is the overall best interest of the Police Department through this commotion?The police is purely an investigative agency.It was, it is, and it will always be.While the Criminal Department is arguably the raison d'être of the police, there can be no overall best interests that can be exchanged for weakening the Criminal Department.Simply put, this is just the arbitrariness of "Tokyo" who regards places as trivial.It must be only a small part of the special examination team sitting in easy chairs dreaming of this and that, and then forcing the local government to accept everything.

Mikami frantically turned the steering wheel and drove the car onto the main road.Eyes staring straight ahead.still.The dark blue car is just ahead with two red lights. Although he had known for a long time that he was not related to Erdu, he still had expectations for him.I hope that Er Du is like himself, in the organization where the order above is everything, he is a comrade with two souls in his body.Once the four eyes meet, they can tell each other's involuntary feelings.I hope that Erdu will be the same as himself, wearing a mask to ask for life. It's because he saw it wrong, Erdu didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't have any shame or fear at all.It is clear that the position determines the action, but what he said is like an indestructible belief.There is only one soul in his body.Mikami was embarrassed by that almost cleanliness cruelty.On the other hand, I only think about my own involuntary, lamenting my situation, self-pity, self-harm, self-pity and self-pity, so I look forward to healing with Erdu by licking each other's wounds.He swore that everything he did was for his family, and he gave up the idea of ​​returning to the criminal department, but he was not reborn because of this, and he didn't even have the word "rebirth from the ashes". There are still two souls in his body.Knowing that I can't do anything, I still desperately want to do something, which makes me unhappy.I was immersed in self-pity from head to toe, and even lost the meaning and essence of the job itself.What a shame.I thought I was a character, but I didn't expect that I was just such a useless man.

There was a surge of heat in his chest. What would happen if there was no personnel change in spring and he stayed in the second section of the search?What if he went to Tokyo to report on his duties as a detective? Definitely don't need to take off the mask.As long as he is still in the territory of the criminal department, he will not have to face his true colors for the rest of his life.You can be proud of yourself for the rest of your life.He has always believed that he can grow into a big tree as a criminal policeman, not someone else's branches or leaves.Take root firmly in the land of the rule of law, let the performance of solving the case engrave the annual rings, and stand proudly until old age.However, a single piece of paper on personnel changes easily disintegrated this unique real world to him.Not only the Chu River and Han borders in terms of positions, but even the boundaries between public and private have been broken.The feeling of missing her daughter has become her weakness.The claws of the organization not only extended into his family, but also sowed seeds of suspicion that shouldn't have been in his heart.Everything is for Ayumi, for Minako... Does he really think so?

—It's all because of that bastard sitting on the bench. Everything was Erdu's revenge for that summer.It was originally scheduled for him to go to Tokyo to report on his work, but it fell through at the last moment.Apart from the fact that Erdu was responsible, he couldn't think of any other possibility.With just a flick of his finger, he crossed out Mikami's name, and gave the platinum ticket to Maeshima, who was closer to him.A criminal policeman was allowed to board a train bound for Kangzhuang Avenue, but another criminal policeman was banished to a space lacking oxygen.No, it wasn't exile, but forced Mikami to stay on the home base, in order for him to witness the two's positions have changed color.

When the light signal turned green, Mikami stepped on the accelerator hard, quickly overtook the yellow car next to him, cut into the right lane, then continued to accelerate, overtook a large truck, and then cut back to the left lane.The dark blue car was about ten cars ahead.It was getting dark, and it couldn't have been better for him.Mikami put the sun visor close to his eyes, pulled off his tie with one hand, and took the opportunity to pass the car in front again.The road is full of guys who only have the opportunity to drive on weekends and Tuesdays. Either the speed of the car is unbelievably slow, or they don't know what they are excited about while driving, which makes Mikami quite exhausted.Repeatedly accelerating and decelerating, it was only four cars away from the dark blue car, officially entering the tailgating posture written in the textbook. ——As a police officer sitting in an office, you had better be able to get rid of me. So what if you're a monster that inhabits the administration's cistern?I am the gatekeeper of the big gutter, dedicated to digging out the sludge turbid by human desires, heating, boiling, stirring, and then relieving the foam without sleep.What is a cistern?For Mikami, criminal police work is no longer a profession, but a part of his flesh and blood.Leaving aside Mikami's personal grievances, what qualifications does a person who doesn't even understand the nature of the criminal department have to be in charge of police personnel? Mikami turned the steering wheel roughly and changed lanes.Through the windshield, Erdu's head could already be seen.In a hurry?Where are you going?Who are you going to find again?Mikami decided to chase him to the ends of the earth until he confessed his real purpose. Erdu's car turned left at the intersection and drove onto the old road beside the river bank.The road was reduced to a single-lane lane, with three cars trailing behind.The high-rise buildings outside the car window gradually disappeared, and there was a large embankment on the left.In line with the meandering river, the road also draws a gentle curve from left to right.In this way, the rear of Erdu's car can be seen from between the two shelters.The family car in front stepped on the brakes, obviously because Er Du, who was driving in front, slowed down.Er Du turned on the turn signal for a right turn, calculated the timing and passed the oncoming car, and turned right at the intersection smoothly. Mikami also followed him and turned slowly, so that the other party would not notice that he was being followed.I saw Erdu's car turning left at the next intersection, surrounded by quiet old residential areas.Coming here, Mikami knew Erdu's destination.No, not knowing his destination, but the name of the man who lived nearby flashed in his mind. --No way? Mikami held his breath, and drove the car slowly.He saw Erdu's car turning into the alley.In front of me is a shocking picture.Because Erdu's car parked impartially beside the hedge of the Photinia chinensis. This is the home of Michio Osakabe.The thin figure disappeared into the entrance.
