v17 Chapter 3: secret

Ministry of Justice, press conference!

"Minister Ando, ​​take the liberty to ask, you have signed more than ten executions in a row recently. What are your considerations?"

"I'm just doing my job as a Minister of Justice, next!"

...

"Minister Ando, ​​it is rumored that you intend to participate in the competition for the Prime Minister of the Cabinet next year. Is it because of election considerations that you signed so many executions at this time, so as to respond to the domestic people's call for severe punishment of violent crimes?"

"There is no such consideration, the law emphasizes fairness and justice, and this is exactly the concept that I have been pursuing since I took office, and my colleagues from the Ministry of Justice, so...the signing of the death penalty execution this time, the matter, It's just dealing with the problems left over by the previous Ministers of Justice, and it shouldn't be over-interpreted!"

...

Just as Nobuko Ando was responding to reporters' questions with ease at the press conference, a man with glasses in the corner was looking at Nobuko Ando on stage with a playful attitude. When he raised his hand and scrambled to get the right to ask questions, the man suddenly stood up on his own, and then said loudly to Nobuko Ando:

"I'm really sorry, could Minister Ando respond to the situation regarding Akio Kuroda, the main culprit of the Tokyo subway bombing. There are rumors that the Ministry of Justice put pressure on the prosecutor at the time when he prosecuted Akio Kuroda, which caused the The executioner who killed dozens of police officers was freed after serving only one year in prison, what is your explanation for this matter?"

When everyone heard the question raised by this strange man, the huge press room suddenly became quiet. Although the man who asked the question was not very loud, this question was something everyone wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, because this It also involves pressure from the United States.

"I'm so sorry, you don't seem to follow the questioning rules of the press conference!"

"Haha, I'm so sorry! I just took the initiative to ask you a question because everyone dared not touch this sensitive issue. I think... the reporters here would also like to know how Kuroda Akio was released. The real reason!"

...

Even though Nobuko Ando was asked a question that was difficult to answer, she still couldn't see the slightest wave on her face. After looking around the venue, Nobuko Ando saw that everyone seemed to be waiting for her answer, so she He smiled and responded to the man:

"Okay! Since everyone present has no objection, then... take this question as the last question today!"

"As for the reason for Kuroda Akio's release, we mainly consider that the act of killing the policeman had a certain self-protection purpose. In addition... the suspect was imprisoned because of a wrong trial. It is based on the above two Considering the point, the prosecutor at the time adopted a more appropriate law to prosecute Akio Kuroda. I am not willing to make too much evaluation on this matter. "

After Nobuko Ando finished explaining her reasons, she packed up her speech and planned to leave, but the man who asked the question obviously did not intend to let her go so easily. I saw him lowered his head, took off his glasses, wiped them with a glasses cloth, and then put them back on again. Immediately afterwards, the man sent Nobuko Ando again:

"Sorry, I seem to have heard a slightly different version! It is said that... the reason why the Ministry of Justice let go of Akio Kuroda was because the U.S. government put pressure on the trial of this case. The important leader of the government-organized Colombian Liberation Army, in order to facilitate an early ceasefire agreement between the Colombian government and the Colombian People's Liberation Army, the US government intervened in Japan's judicial independence... Am I right, Minister Ando!"

...

Hearing these words suddenly said by the other party, Ando Nobuko couldn't help but stop herself, but she did not respond to the questions raised by the other party, and the officials present saw this situation and hurriedly announced that the conference would be This ends.

When Nobuko Ando walked out of the venue in doubt, before she could explain to her subordinates, her secretary walked towards Nobuko Ando anxiously, and then whispered a few words in her ear.

"What? When did you disappear?"

"It should have been two days ago, because of continuous rain, the road leading to the mountain collapsed. Akio Kuroda should have escaped in the valley at that time!"

"It's... a bunch of useless guys!"

"Minister, there is one more thing to report to you... The public security has just received news that... Kuroda Akio last appeared at a coffee shop near Yoyogi Park. ...The police inspector Lin Xiuyi from the first section of the Police Department's search is also there, and we have confirmed the news from the surveillance video of the nearby road..."

"Lin Xiuyi? Is it him again?"

Nobuko Ando asked in surprise when he heard the report from his subordinates.

"Minister, do the public security ask for instructions to investigate Lin Xiuyi now?"

"Tell them not to act rashly. Akio Kuroda should not have left Japan yet. Hurry up and track down his whereabouts. He is an extremely dangerous person!"

"Hey, I'll send your instructions to the Police Department!"

When Nobuko Ando's secretary got her instructions, he immediately turned and left. Minister Ando stood on the spot~lightnovelpub.net~ and motioned for the subordinates who were beside her to step back a little distance. Immediately afterwards, Nobuko Ando silently walked to the window and called Jingzi.

"Minister!"

Hearing Jingzi's voice on the phone, Ando Nobuko's mood immediately calmed down, and then she said to Jingzi:

"Jingzi, when will Lin Xiuyi take office in Shinjuku?"

"Um...According to the regulations, it should be after the New Year next year. What's the matter, minister?"

"The news came from the police just now that Akio Kuroda really went to look for Lin Xiuyi! In addition, the hill of the Sumiyoshi Club has also been released from prison, I think... Now is the time to arrange Lin Xiuyi's chess game at the right place. the place!"

"Well, I understand the minister, I'll go and ask Director Onoda to let Lin Xiuyi go to the Shinjuku Central Police Station as soon as possible! In addition... Lin Xiuyi doesn't know your arrangement yet, may I ask... Do I need to find an opportunity to ask Did he reveal a word?"

"No need, doesn't he still have a sister waiting for my recommendation letter? I think... I will find a suitable opportunity to showdown with him!"
