Chapter 48 Section forty-six

The press conference is going on solemnly. "...The above is what happened. The 50-year-old Inspector Kuriyama Yoshitake committed an unforgivable crime as a police officer. Due to the convincing evidence of the crime and the fact that he was urgently arrested at the F Department, according to the disciplinary action held at the headquarters today As a result of the committee's discussion, the disciplinary action of dismissal will be given from now on, and I report to you here." Twenty-three reporters, five cameras.The Chief of Police Akama sat in the center of the bench prepared in advance, reading the draft almost word for word.Since I didn't have time to make a speech, I only had a simple note at hand, and from time to time, more notes were written by Chief Shirata, who was sitting by the side.

Mikami observed the reporters sitting in a corner of the room. Although there were more or less differences in degree, everyone showed a gloomy expression like a bereaved dog.Except for the two people in Dongyang.The atmosphere was obviously different from last week, even when Mikami came in just now, he wasn't attacked by rolling eyes.Perhaps what Suwa said is right, as long as the situation of hostility to Japan is consolidated, the situation of boycotting the chief's press conference may be reversed.Not only can the apology to the press club become a free testimony, but it can also allow Akama to escape.As long as it is falsely stated that it will be published under its real name in the future, the resistance of reporters can be avoided.But even without such despicable means, as long as Mikami apologized for destroying the protest paper, everything would be settled.

He didn't seriously think about what to do. The advertising strategy only appeared on the surface of the brain and could not enter the depths of his heart. The criminal department will be finished on Thursday... Red warning signs flashed deep in the brain.After all, he still didn't point out the existence of the trap, so he asked Akama to sit at the press conference.Because the impact of the word "finished" is too strong. The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry.If it was in a normal state of mind, Akama would never say such a thing.His self-esteem was shattered, and his position in this hall was also shaken.Perhaps the hole dug by the criminal department was too big, and he just wanted to retaliate with an eye for an eye, so he said that sentence symbolically, just treat it as a mad dog barking, and forget it.But the red warning signal is still flashing, and it is getting brighter and brighter.Assuming Akama isn't exaggerating, what exactly does "done" mean?hit?unfavorable?loss?It doesn't seem that simple.The word he associates is actually ending, annihilation.

"The police will absolutely face up to the seriousness of this incident. In order not to cause similar incidents to happen in the future, we have issued an order to the 19th Department of the County regarding the correct management of the detention center from now on." Akama gestured to Bai Tian with his eyes, and the two stood up at the same time.The routine ceremony is coming, and the cameras and cameras are all raised together. “Here, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to my compatriots all over the country, the citizens of the prefecture, and the victimized women. In order to regain your trust in the future, all the staff of the D prefectural police will do their best to serve you with caution and deeds. Serve."

Both bowed at the same time.Accompanied by the sound of the shutter, the rising and falling flashes illuminated the whole space like a different dimension. After a few seconds, Akama and Baitian raised their heads one by one and sat down again.Bai Tian glanced at the reporters with an expression as if he was facing an enemy. "If you have any questions, please bring them up." Mikami stared at Akikawa, but it was Teshima next door who raised his hand. "The suspect committed suicide in the detention center the year before last. If you add this incident, don't you think there is a fundamental problem with the management system of the detention center?"

Speak out.Akikawa completed the secret agreement with Arakita through Teshima's mouth. "The so-called fundamental problem?" Shirata put his hand to his ear and asked back, Teshima showed a wry smile. "For example, could it be that the management of the detention center has been neglected, or that excellent personnel have not been stationed there?" Akama stopped Bai Tian and answered by himself. "There is no such thing. We have always attached great importance to the management of the detention center, and we have dispatched as many excellent personnel as possible to manage it. In addition, regarding the suicide incident the year before last, because the deceased used a very special method, it is quite a rare case. There is nothing missing from the administrators of the detention facility, and that is our conclusion."

He also spoke out. Mikami stared at the two Toyo.Teshima was taking notes in a notepad, while Akikawa was the old god on the ground with his arms folded on his chest.Neither of them wanted to ask any more questions. Mikami sighed silently. "The administrator is dozing off" was not brought up.Having said that, maybe Akikawa didn't get the inside story at all.If the criminal department intends to use the "dozing off" incident under the counter to threaten the police department, there is no need to let Akikawa know about this trump card last night. For the sake of safety, it should be kept secret first.However, even if the reporter commander in charge of running the police line is used for his own use, the strength of the large newspapers in Tokyo cannot be underestimated.If he took the initiative to release two news at the same time, Dongyang might ignore Akikawa's position and make the infighting of the D county police public to the world.

"Are there any other questions?" Shirata asked with an expression that wanted to end it.No one raised their hands, and no one made a sound, as if it was a press conference specially held for Dongyang.In the awkward atmosphere, there are only rows of impatient faces. "Then the press conference ends here." Akama and Baitian stood up, bowed and walked towards the door.The two backs with the heavy burden off their shoulders tell the sense of relief that they have finally escaped smoothly.It probably won't be until the evening to find out that it has been placed together!

Mikami also walked out of the press room, he was still not sure which side the balance in his heart would lean towards.It feels like dual citizenship.No, it's like people who have lost their nationality are forced to express their love for their motherland. No, right now we have to deal with the reporters first.Mikami forced himself to face up to the problem in front of him.The matter of going to Arakita Criminal Minister can only be in the back row.And it wasn't that the other party obediently sent him to the door when they said they wanted to see him, but asked for a reciprocal meeting as a publicity officer.If you do not first arm yourself with your duties, you will not be able to maintain peace of mind.The criminal department is doomed.What exactly does this sentence mean?The answer must be written on Arakita's face.
