Chapter 68 Section sixty-six

Where did the hurricane go? Traces of the hurricane's severe damage remained in the broadcast room.The desk and sofa were pushed to the corner, the chairs were overturned, and countless pieces of paper were scattered on the floor. Suwa was the only one left, but he looked like a different person with bloodshot eyes, hanging eyebrows, and short straight hair that looked like a crown of angry hair. Although the changes in these parts were subtle, it made people feel that he was a different person. It's more human.As if all the dormant aptitudes had been awakened, the expression on his face not only didn't look like he had lost something, but instead seemed to have gained something.

"Thanks for your hard work." Even the voice was hoarse, no different from a candidate who had just finished an election campaign. "You are." "Thanks to you asking for your father's name, the situation changed after that." Fifty minutes ago, he made a phone call from the parking lot of Department G. "Does it look like a formal agreement will be signed?" "At present, we have entered the stage of telephone agreement with major media. It may take a little time, but in any case, it should be settled within today." "Really?"

Mikami was both surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but ask: "Can just the father's real name make them agree to sign the agreement?" "Just now all the newspapers were mobilized, and C's name has been found out through their respective channels." I see.So that's what happened! Now that Mr. C's name has been found out, it means that the reporters have been clinging to the special search headquarters here and in the auditorium all this time.He may have also broken into the police chief's office and the chief's office, but the names of the victim's family could not be asked from either.For the next several hours, I was at the peak of indignation and anxiety.In such a state, all the media have fallen into a quagmire of intrigue and suspicion.Although the provisional agreement has come into force, it is only "temporary" after all. Who can guarantee that other media will not sneak away?Could it be that only my own family has not interviewed the news?Maybe someone has already found out the victim's name.The extreme anxiety almost made everyone almost collapse.

At this time, Mikami brought information about "Masato Mezaki", and the spirit of the reporters came again.They thought the same as Mikami, as long as they had the name, address, and occupation of the head of the household, they could find out the name of the mistress.Regardless of whether it is a provisional agreement or a formal agreement, interviewing relatives, friends, and neighbors of the victimized family is an obvious act of stepping on the line.Of course Suwa protested, but instead he was severely criticized: "Then hand over your name!" Although some people shouted: "The media that violated the agreement will be removed from the club immediately!" In the end, the voices of the majority were still drowned out. Li: "Just asking the victim's name is not considered an interview with her." "This is not the case if it's just a phone interview." Words, I said a word, while grinding the guns to discuss the rules, all the media have already got the name of the hostess.As if firing a gun to start the race, various media outlets began to carry out preparatory work for signing a formal agreement at the headquarters level.Although the special search headquarters still refuses to provide the real name of the victim C, the media has decided to turn a blind eye to the "anonymous issue" they were obsessed with before, and turn their eyes to the route of compromise with the police.

——Both sides are actually the same! Does the media also have a complex for "Tokyo Headquarters"?In a word, the principle of competition has fermented.I hate the media whose interviews are restricted the most, because I am afraid of being chased by other colleagues, and will instead seek stronger constraints. "That's the name." Suwa handed over a piece of paper, which was said to be from the police section of G Department. Mutsuko Mezaki (42) Songcheng (17) Early Age(11) Utasumi... Mikami said silently in his mouth, the pronunciation was very similar to Ayumi.

Masato Mezaki, Mutsuko, Utasumi, and Saki.Putting these four names together is undoubtedly a "family".A new emotion welled up in my heart, how wonderful it would be if this whole thing was directed and acted by Ge Cheng himself!The Mezaki couple should be worried to death now! Mikami shook his head. "What about the other two? How is the venue for the press conference?" "Kuraqian is almost done, and we're just waiting for the press conference. Ten people from the Police Division and the Secretarial Division have been sent to support. Meiyun is directing the cars from Tokyo in the underground parking lot. Send someone to help."

This is also true, if no one helps, it will really be difficult to cope.There is Nanao in the auditorium - that's what Matsuoka said.The criminal department would actually summon the chief of the police department who is in charge of managing the female police?Substantial support requests broke down the barriers between ministries.Although the reaction was a bit slow, the whole hall has entered the situation of confronting the "authentic kidnapping case". What is Erdu doing again?Where is he now?What are you doing?Mikami couldn't imagine it at all.Did he come to support the investigation of this kidnapping case?Or are you still dealing with inspections?

"Have you seen Erdu?" "Investigator? No, I didn't see it." "Are you at the press conference?" "If there is, Zangqian should say it." "That's it..." "Shall I go find it?" "No, it's not necessary." Mikami used the words he spoke to switch his thoughts. "Are there already many people in the press conference?" "Hundreds of people have already come to Tokyo, I think there will be more people coming one after another!" "Where's our reporter?" "Our family?"

Suwa laughed.At first, there was just a snort, but then I couldn't help laughing, opened my mouth wide, and laughed hahaha. Just by looking at his reaction, one can tell that the layer of ice that made him walk on thin ice has melted.Mikami suddenly remembered the exaggerated laughter of his father's comrade-in-arms.It turned out that he had almost forgotten how to smile. Mikami also showed a wry smile. "That's right, no one is our family's reporter." "Ah, sorry, accidentally..." Suwa tried hard to hold back a smile, and patted his cheek with his hand.

"All the soldiers have already gone to the press conference. People at the team leader level tried to sneak into the auditorium, but because of the heavy security, they couldn't get in. I think they will move to the press conference sooner or later!" "How is the process of the press conference going?" Suwa's eyes fell on the desk, and he picked out a few sheets from the thick stack of recording paper with his fingers. "Uh... Once the reporting agreement is signed, a press conference will be held every two hours. If the case progresses during the press conference, it is sufficient to submit a written report at that time. If the kidnapper calls and waits Major breakthrough developments require an immediate emergency press conference, even in a provisional agreement... above."

"It's too much to hold a press conference every two hours!" "This refers to the current period. After all, it's only the first day of the incident, so there's no way I can't refuse!" "Did the club insist on doing this?" "Yes. He also said that since the police do not agree to release Mezaki Utasumi's name, they must explain clearly the circumstances of the case and the ins and outs of the investigation." "If we want to make it clear, two hours is not enough. The press conference has to be held until the morning. If the investigating commander is put under house arrest, then how will the case go forward!" "That's right..." Suwa's expression was clouded. "The criminal department said just now that the press conference will be mainly held by the second chief of the Ochiai investigation department." "Are you kidding me!" Mikami blurted out.The press conference of the kidnapping case is always in the charge of the Minister of Criminal Affairs or the Chief of the First Search Section.What is the use of pushing the second section chief who is not high enough and has a completely different business scope to the media?Not to mention that Ochiai is just a kid in the special examination team, and has no field experience at all, so he has no ability to deal with the questioning of the kidnapping case. Is this what the Criminal Department is for?Send Ochiai to the press conference site, but only give him a piece of sparse information.Do the same with Akama.If you don't know anything, you won't say anything... "This is not a press conference." Arakita knew that hundreds of reporters would go mad with anger, but he pushed Ochiai out anyway.There must be something that the media should not know. I am afraid that the reporter will accidentally blurt it out if they ask me again and again, so I sent the puppet Ochiai.However, is this really the case? "Self-directed and self-acted by the criminal department" no longer exists, and Matsuoka also clearly denies the possibility of knowing that it is a lie of C's son but still using it to make use of it.As far as Mikami knows, there is no difficulty in this matter that cannot be questioned by reporters.Or is there some top secret that even Matsuoka doesn't know about, and only Arakita himself knows? still…… Because the cancellation of the inspection is not yet a foregone conclusion, must the insurance be linked again and again?Once the reporting agreement is signed, the turmoil will temporarily come to an end.Arakita sent Ochiai to continue to play the role of stirring up trouble in order to continue to send the message of "unrest" to the main hall. It is not impossible to say that. Or... Mikami quickly searched in his mind. Nothing at all.There are no longer any seeds of suspicion in my mind that block my thoughts.Aside from Arakita, he couldn't see anything particularly "artificial" from the criminal department's reaction, and some were just a layer of fog, but he didn't know how to explain the feeling of something wrong, which made Mikami read again and again. With the words "still...". It feels like a situation where you can't help but say it because it has no basis and is not specific enough.Leaving aside the attitude towards the newspaper, we still have to admit that the criminal department's handling of this matter is very reasonable.On the one hand, although it was considered that Utasumi Mezaki might direct and act on his own, he did not take it lightly. He still sent the head of the first search section to the frontline G Department, and gathered criminal police who were proficient in kidnapping cases. The female police officers of the police are ready and have not forgotten to cooperate with other units.The ransom will be paid tomorrow.There will be breakthrough developments in both the case and the investigation.However, his mood was heavy, and he felt very strange, as if sitting on a chair with only three legs, he always felt very unsteady. He didn't think it was the detective's intuition, nor did he think it was Guangbao's thinking logic that opened up new horizons for him, but he just found it strange that things didn't seem so simple. "I've said it all..." Suwa was talking on the phone.The other end of the microphone seems to be a weekly magazine or a small information journal. Suwa has been reiterating to the other party that he cannot participate in the press conference without joining the press club. Word has spread. Mikami took out his mobile phone and called Kuramae.The call was connected immediately. Zangqian's voice was much more energetic than he had imagined. "You've worked hard too, how's the situation over there?" "Is everything going well?" "Tell those who have gathered that the news has spread, and ask them to be careful about the walls. They should also carefully check the entry and exit of unfamiliar faces, and it is absolutely not allowed to order any takeout." Mikami glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already half past nine. "Please, I'll be there in a while." When he hung up the phone and was about to call Meiyun, Suwa also finished talking on the phone, and seemed to have heard what Mikami said. "Speaking of takeaway, I just remembered, please eat before you go!" On the shelf in the dining space is a bowl of fried rice wrapped in plastic wrap, which I heard was ordered by Meiyun.The water vapor fogs up the plastic wrap, making it impossible to see what's inside.In that storm, he could still notice the dinner problem of his colleagues. Meiyun would definitely do what he needed to do well, so he didn't have to worry about it at all. It only takes five minutes to walk from the underground passage to the west building of the county hall, or two minutes by running.Mikami decided to cover this distance within half a minute.So I reached out to the fried rice. Although it was already cold and full of water vapor, Wu Zang Temple still seemed very happy. "Have you been to the second floor?" "Wait a while before going." "It was messed up, and even Minister Akama was besieged by the media." "Did he say anything about the inspection?" "No, but judging from this, it shouldn't be possible to come!" "Too." "Speaking of which, this timing is too good!" Suwa said while reaching for the desk, because the phone rang again. The timing of the kidnapping was just too good—it was a natural feeling.Although Suwa said this sentence without any special meaning, the spoon that Mikami picked up the fried rice stopped in mid-air.Just the day before the 64 inspection, a kidnapping case imitating 64 happened. This is the source of the confusion! "Broadcaster..." Suwa pressed the microphone with his hand. "Section Chief Ishii called. He said that he just received instructions from the official room, and tomorrow's inspection by the chief is suspended."
