Chapter 83 Section 81

A gust of wind blew across the roof.Mikami looked at his watch, a few minutes had passed since the agreed two o'clock, and Erdu hadn't come yet. Could it be that he plans not to come?If this is the case, it can be regarded as proof of one thing. Erdu is the initiator of "making waves". This is the conclusion he has reached since he had time to think and ruminate a few times. The office plans to "take back" the position of the Minister of Criminal Affairs - the one who leaked this information to Arakita at the beginning was undoubtedly Maejima, who was reporting to the office and had the only chance to hear the information from the office.On the other hand, there is no sign that Minister Tsujiuchimoto and Akama Police Minister gave Erdu any special orders, but Erdu suddenly made a lot of big moves.So the most reasonable explanation is that Maejima, who was at the same time as him and had a good relationship with him, not only told Arakida, but also gave this information to Erdu.

So, what does Maeshima, a criminal policeman who has climbed all the way from the grassroots, expect from Erdu?Without thinking about it, of course it is to prevent the "recovery of the position" and to destroy the inspection of Chief Kotsuka who came to convey the "imperial decree".As long as this mystery is solved, it is not difficult to see that Erdu's series of inexplicable actions are all for "making waves".Therefore, the investigator of the police department who always takes action in private, and is also known as the "Minister of Underground Personnel" and the number one ace of the police department, will visit the criminal police's house blatantly, sow the seeds of fear everywhere, even Also like a serial arsonist, setting fires everywhere and igniting the flames of hating the Police Department.This is all for the purpose of inciting an uprising by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.In fact, the criminal department was indeed instigated by Er Du and made an intensified counterattack.They pulled up the iron curtain, used reports to expose the scandal of the police department, and finally dropped paper bombs on the hall, showing that the demonstrations had gone off the rails.If this "kidnapping case" hadn't happened, what would have happened to the criminal department on the day of the chief's inspection?

The "turmoil" caused by Erdu's rise is not limited to these, even the territory of Guangbao has become his goal.In order to make D County Dallas, he believed that the rebellion of the Criminal Department alone was not enough, so he took a two-front battle.Anyway, the territory of Guangbao is already in chaos, and the reporters who made a fuss over the issue of anonymity threatened to boycott the chief's press conference.Erdu's work only needs to make the fire-fighting operation in order to avoid the resistance of the executive press conference to be in vain.So he targeted the advertising room and the top three in the advertising room.Even though they are both on the same chessboard, Er Du, who hadn't seen each other once in half a year, suddenly and frequently appeared in San Kami's line of sight, I'm afraid it was definitely not accidental.Erdu deliberately collided with him, deliberately teased his emotions, and let him know the fact of "taking back his position".When his anger index towards the group of people in this hall soared to the highest point, he put his hand into the center of his criminal police heart.

Dudu also said the same thing. This homework is for Mikami to reconfirm his native place.Erdu was a member of the group in this hall, no one would doubt that, so he took advantage of this mistake in reverse.What's more, in Erdu's eyes, Mikami has always been "a criminal policeman wearing a police coat".Even though his current position is the publicity officer of the Secretary Section, Erdu definitely thinks that he will choose the behavior that is beneficial to the Criminal Department in the end, and sit and watch the reporters will be resisted and complete the pre-work to make the D County Police into Dallas.Even though he had already predicted the next development, he still grabbed Mikami and chased after him fiercely.This is how Erdu works!The question is, are those words that cut to the bone and hit the nail on the head, are they really necessary for work?He wouldn't even admit his failure.When Mikami succeeded in preventing the press conference from being boycotted, he only said lightly:

Er Du actually wanted to save the criminal department.Not only that, he also intends to protect the entire D county police.But Mikami had no intention of praising him, nor did he intend to thank him.That's just Erdu's job as an investigator of the police department, that's all. That's what Erdu said.This organizational drama full of strategies and schemes ended up with a "kidnapping case".Even so, as long as you move forward from the finish line saying "It's good," you'll definitely see Maejima standing at the starting point, waving and smiling. Mikami wasn't angry.When all the emotions cancel each other out, the pointer of emotion stops at zero and does not move.only……

One mystery remains.There was only one thing he didn't understand, and that was the "weapon" in Erdu's hands.Where did he get the information about Koda's Codex?Surely it wasn't Maejima who told him.Because this matter is the top secret of the criminal department, only the eight ministers and Matsuoka know about it.It should not be possible to ask anything from Urushihara, Koda, Kakinuma, and Hiyoshi, the four parties involved in the "private house class".So who the hell told him? As for who else might tell him... Mikami looked at his watch, he was twenty-three minutes late.Then he moved his gaze forward, and saw a thin figure walking towards him against the wind.

"Has the office been cleaned?" The prepared words were blown away by the wind. Erdu stopped three meters away from him, and put his hands on the "hometown platform".Although no one will come to see it, the direction of the cities, towns and villages in the prefecture is engraved on the top of the concrete column. "Not yet! Too many people fighting to get dirty." Er Du seems to have come prepared. "What can you do with me?" "Don't you need to explain your lateness?" "You'll find out sooner or later." "I see."

Mikami took the initiative to walk towards him and put a hand on the "hometown platform".Er Du turned his back to the wind. If anyone else could possibly tell him, it would be Michio Osakabe.I saw him in and out of Osakabe's house with my own eyes.Although the relationship between these two people seems to live in two different worlds, they have one thing in common.That is, in the near future, Er Du will sit on the throne of Minister of Criminal Affairs.The two ministers met across time and space, and... Even if he asked, Er Du would not answer.And he didn't call Erdu out just to ask for an answer.

"Have you already started planning for next spring's personnel?" Dudu didn't respond.It can be said that Mikami was completely ignored.Maybe this is already a habit of his.As long as you hear the word "personnel", you will immediately build up your defenses. "This time, I was really put on by you!" "what are you saying?" Er Du raised his eyes.Mikami stared closely at his eyes, the ratio of white and black eyeballs was quite normal. "I was played around by you." "Have it?" "Remember to pay back what you owe me."

"I owe no one, and no one owes me." "I've lent you tram money before." "I paid it back." "I mean when everyone goes to watch the giant battle of the Eastern Alliance together!" "I paid it back the next day." "Have you started planning for next spring?" Perhaps because he understood Mikami's omission, the corners of Erdu's mouth rose slightly. "Next year, how many home runs Matsui can hit is more important!" "Ha!" Mikami laughed out loud. "I always thought you belonged to the Yilang school."

"Ha!" Erdu laughed out loud this time.He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it after all. "Because New York is too cold?" Erdu didn't answer. The conversation between the two came to an end.There are obviously two people, but it feels like there is only one person.Erdu raised his chin thoughtfully and narrowed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the feeling of being blown by the wind, and also seemed to be thinking about solutions to new problems. In organizations, people like him win.Only those who keep all the secrets can survive.Whether it's one's own secret or someone else's secret, every time one more is revealed, the person will take one more step back.As long as he is with Erdu, he will be trapped by such thoughts.but…… He doesn't intend to leave.Erdu put his hands on the "hometown platform" and fell into thought.Mikami's gaze suddenly flicked to the toe of his shoe.He wore a pair of clean shoes, not new, but the polished black leather reflected the dull light of the overcast sky. "Erdu... Since you don't owe me, let me owe you." Erdu's angular face turned to Sankami, as if he had been waiting for him to speak up. "I don't want to be transferred. Don't transfer me from the press room." The investigation of 64 will be delayed for a long time, perhaps beyond the planning period of personnel changes, but "that day" will definitely come. The D county police will be the enemy of all the media for the fourteen years of concealment, and Mikami wants to witness that moment.As a publicity officer, attend a press conference hosted by Matsuoka Counselor... Er Du had already turned and left.He didn't leave any words or expressions, only the collar of his suit fluttered in the wind. Watching his thin back disappear at the stairs, Mikami also stepped forward.The shoes of the two are comparable.That may be the bottom line that cannot be compromised. Mikami stretched his hand to his forehead, and looked up at the sky through his fingers. Snowflakes are flying with the wind. The white snowflakes reminded him inadvertently of the Christmas rose whose name he had just remembered. (Finish)
