Chapter 72 Section 70

Finally escaped back to the prefectural police headquarters building. "The next press conference will be at one o'clock in the morning." Leaving only this sentence, I really escaped from the scene in a way of escape.Mikami and Kuramae supported Ochiai's armpits from both sides, and Suwa cleared the way in front, and was able to leave the press conference.Kuramae's suit pocket was torn, and Suwa's armband was also torn off. Ochiai tidied up his messy hair with his hands, and returned to the Tokusou headquarters in the auditorium.Mikami couldn't get in because the lineup of guards at the gate had increased to six.Even if the head of the first search section who sits on the front line really has no skills, at least the minister of criminal affairs should hold the press conference. There is no other way to turn the situation around.However, Arakita has been hiding in the special search headquarters on the grounds of "concentrating on directing the investigation". No matter how much Mikami threatens Okura and reporters come to protest many times, he has no chance to see him.

As a result, Ochiai took the stage at the press conference at one o'clock in the morning.The reason why he dared to step on the podium was because he had obtained "information about the victim's family" from the special search headquarters.Masato Mezaki's savings are about 7 million yen, and the 50 ping of his own land is the inheritance left by his parents. The newly built house on that land has borrowed from the bank for 20 years, and it is still in the process of repayment.About ten years ago, I was a salesman at a high-end imported car dealer, and now I rent the first floor of a building in the city to open a sporting goods store.Mutsuko Mezaki is considered a relatively well-to-do farmer's daughter with no work experience. Part of the ransom was raised by Muko's natal family.Mezaki Utasumi had thirteen days of class in the first semester of high school, and not even one day in the second semester.At around ten o'clock in the evening on the 9th, she went out wearing a leopard print coat, and her whereabouts were unknown after that...

The first ten minutes were okay.But after Ochiai finished reading the information at hand, his mind was left blank on the podium again. There was not a single question he could answer, and he insisted that the real names of the Mezaki family "cannot be disclosed to the public". Tenaciously use the symbols of A, B, and C to refer to them. Restlessness has become the norm.There are always people yelling, and there is not even a second of silence.Dongyang's bearded man and greasy-headed man took control of the venue step by step, and they wanted to drag the Minister of Criminal Affairs to the press conference no matter what.But they didn't expect it to be so difficult, so they decided to use Ochiai as a "carrier pigeon".As long as someone asks a question, as long as the answer does not satisfy them, Ochiai is asked to ask the Tokusou headquarters. "Hurry up!" "Run!" The ruthless order was like a stone thrown at him, forcing Ochiai to leave the press conference in a hurry, take the elevator to the first floor, stumble and run in the dark underground passage, and then climb the stairs to go upstairs. Enter the special search headquarters.Then, with the answer full of flaws, he returned to the press conference. "What kind of bad answer is this!" "Go again!" So he had to take the elevator to the first floor again... Mikami would accompany him every time, tell Ogura about Ochiai's situation, and ask Arakita to appear at the press conference. Sometimes he would grab the other party's collar, and in the end, he accidentally smashed the back of Okura's head against the wall, even smashing the object of negotiation.

At three o'clock in the morning, what Mikami feared the most happened, and the press conference continued without a break.Ochiai's running back and forth had become routine.Although Mikami asked Hu mustache man that he hoped to ask all the questions at once so that they could answer the complete request at once, but the other party did not accept it at all.Because it is meaningful for the Tokusou headquarters to witness Ochiai's exhaustion again and again. This is a strategy to force the Minister of Criminal Affairs to come forward.In fact, Ochiai was indeed on the verge of dying.Empty eyes, footsteps that are about to knot, and sometimes exhausted sitting in the elevator.Mikami really didn't understand what Arakita was thinking, and even thought that he simply hated the special examination team, so he tortured Ochiai like this, so as to achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.but……

It's too weird to think about.On the one hand, the media is required to sign a report agreement, and on the other hand, they refuse to disclose any information. Why?Even if it wasn't Mikami, would others think he was hiding something?Was he forced to make such a move in order to hide something?A suspicious atmosphere began to pervade the press conference room.Was the investigation in full swing on the opposite side of the shutters, or had some serious mistake been made, and the question was deliberately not answered properly in order to buy time?Did you deliberately gather all the elite troops of the major media in one place, and then conduct investigations as you like behind the scenes?The entire reporting agreement was used... no, it was misused and abused.If so, it would be an unprecedented act of treachery.

It was past 4:30 in the morning, but the press conference that started at one o'clock showed no signs of ending.Whenever Ochiai leaves the venue, there will always be a strong opinion of "Let's ignore the agreement!" from the venue.The reason why they haven't reached the step of confirming invalidation is that most reporters still have a fear of how chaotic the scene will become if the agreement is really invalidated.What will be the consequences once such a large number of reporters really start random interviews?Regardless of whether the police's attitude towards the media is good or bad, the seriousness of the kidnapping case itself will not change, and there is still no sufficient evidence to show that this incident was directed and acted by Mezaki Utasumi.Taking action without the intelligence support of the police, in case the female high school student loses her life... Such dangerous signals are always circling in my mind.Although the invalidation of the agreement is indeed a trump card that can shake the police, it is actually very difficult to actually invalidate the agreement.That being the case, it is better not to yell at such a high decibel in the first place, so as not to be seen by the police and become self-defeating.Journalists are now caught in a dilemma, and because of this, new landmines have been created, and hot scenes may explode at any time.

Five o'clock in the morning seemed to be a meaningless time, Ochiai's physical strength had reached its limit, the extreme fatigue made him almost unable to open his eyes, and his brain seemed to be starting to fail.The hot towels and nutritious drinks prepared by Meiyun have also lost their effect. When he went to the headquarters of the special search, he was almost always supported by Suwa and Kuramae. Silently bear the barrage of curse attacks.Even so, the bearded man and the greasy-headed man still treat him as a "carrier pigeon" mercilessly.Occasionally, words such as "Give more strength" and "It's almost there" come from my ears, but Akikawa is never seen.If only he was here... Mikami thought so from the bottom of his heart.

The situation is stuck in a stalemate, like a maze with no exit.Although he is very clear that all this is obviously the fault of the police, and that the county police of D did not fulfill their obligations in the agreement. It is only natural that the reporters would ask the Minister of Criminal Affairs to attend the press conference.But when he saw Ochiai's appearance like a sleepwalking patient, he still felt unbearable and angry.Rather than being angry at the reporters, it is more angry at my own incompetence.The publicity office didn't work at all, not to mention convincing Arakida, he couldn't even see him face to face, and he could only provide assistance to Ochiai equivalent to taking care of a drunk.

Suwa became very silent, but it was not because of exhaustion, but because he was frightened by the out-of-the-box media in Tokyo.The size difference is too much.This kind of culture shock deeply hit his self-esteem as a broadcaster.Zangqian's emotions seemed to have been paralyzed, he put away all his tentacles as a mollusk, and hid back in the shell of that boring executive.On the other hand, Meiyun's field of vision has narrowed, and she can no longer fully take into account the responsibilities of Koho, and is only seriously worried about Ochiai's body.Whenever Ochiai went to the Tokusou headquarters, he used a ballpoint pen to draw orthographic characters on the palm of his hand. "It's too dangerous, if you continue like this, you will die..."

Five forty.After seeing the backs of Ochiai and Suwa leave, Mikami ran to the bathroom.It was still dark outside the window, and the powerlessness made him feel very tired.What happened to Mina?Where is Yoshio Amamiya...?Where's Ayumi...?There's not a single thing I've done well... When walking into the corridor, the back of the neck suddenly tightened.Near the dark elevator door, a group of people were waiting for him in ambush.Ten people... no, at least twenty people. When he got closer, they were all familiar faces.Ushiyama, Utsuki, Sudou, Kamata, Koiwa, Ryase, Kasai, Yamashina, Teshima, Kakuike, Takagi, Kakei, Kiso, Linha, Tomino, Namie...all stared at him.Akikawa was also there, standing a little distance away from the group of people, leaning against the wall feebly.

"What kind of medicine did the county policeman take wrongly?" Niu Shan fired first, making no secret of his anxiety. "What's going on here?" "Could you please cheer up a little?" Other reporters also said in one voice. Mikami only replied "Yes!" and pushed aside the group of people, ready to move forward.Disappointment spread in his chest.how?Are you even coming to add insult to injury? "Even I can't stand it anymore!" Shan Ke said angrily. Teshima clenched his fists tightly. "I can only be beaten and can't fight back. It's really not reconciled!" Mikami stopped.Not reconciled?Is it because the leadership was taken away by the group of people in the headquarters?Didn't you happily exchange business cards with each other just now?Can only be beaten but not fight back?This sentence should be what I want to say!When is it your turn to say... "I'm really not reconciled. I really can't stand D County Police being treated like a fool." Gao Muyuan's voice came from beside his ear.Mikami was taken aback.Because her eyes were full of tears. I see. It turned out that they were not passing through.It turned out that they were not complaining about themselves who were reduced to supporting roles. Mikami had the same memory.The place where you go on duty for the first time is always special.Just escaped from the protection of parents, self-reliance, remembering the process of work, remembering the way home, remembering the shops on the way, eating, sleeping, living, worrying, stepping on the ground with his own feet.This is the place where I was born, a place that is even more home than my hometown.So when this land is ravaged, what a sad and unwilling thing it is! Mikami walked forward without saying a word, because he couldn't think of anything to say in response to "our family reporter".There was a burning sensation in his chest.Only this matter, he must let Qiu Chuan know. Akikawa looked down at the ground with a haggard face.He bravely picked up the microphone and pushed himself into the fire pit.Based on the dignity and sense of responsibility of the local officer, he intends to perform the most perfect performance on the biggest stage.And in the depths of his heart, there must be a kindness that wants to help him. Mikami grabbed Akikawa's shoulder, but didn't stop. You are very brave, it will be me next...
