"Do you know what you did? Do you know how much trouble you will bring about by telling these things?" After being rescued, Jingzi, regardless of his bleeding wound, immediately ran to Lin Xiuyi and tried to persuade him. Lin Xiuyi gave up his plan to testify for Kuroda.

"Keiko, I remember that on the day of the Sakurada Gate explosion, I went home early and happened to meet Miko back from where she was working. That night Miko cooked me an ordinary creamy stew. To be honest, at that time I think that stew is so delicious, even better than the original Matsusaka beef..."

"What the **** are you trying to say?" Jing Zi interrupted Lin Xiuyi's emotional words impatiently.

"I want to say that there are no secrets that can be kept secret forever, I actually prefer to stay at home and eat a bowl of hot creamy stew, rather than sitting nervously in a fancy restaurant in Ginza tasting expensive Matsusaka beef... ..." After Lin Xiuyi said these words, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Looking at Lin Xiuyi's appearance, Jingzi suddenly smiled helplessly, then turned and left without looking back.

……

A month later, after the cold winter was gone, the warm spring finally ushered in. And the case of Akio Kuroda, who had suffered Lin Xiuyi's suffering, was also held in secret in a non-public manner at the request of the new Minister of Justice, Nobuko Ando.

During this trial, Lin Xiuyi, as a witness, testified in the courtroom in favor of Akio Kuroda. Thus, Kuroda's 23-year-long injustice was completely cleared. After Kuroda handed over all his explosives to the Metropolitan Police Department, he was re-indicted by the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office for two charges of illegal possession of explosives and endangering public safety. After several court trials, the Tokyo District Court sentenced Kuroda to ten years in prison, but Kuroda had spent nine years in prison before that. So he only needs to spend the remaining year in the Tokyo detention center to regain his freedom.

Because it was a secret trial, the media did not know the final verdict of Kuroda. The newly appointed Minister of Justice, Nobuko Ando, ​​specifically approved Kuroda's request to change his household registration. After his release from the Tokyo Detention Center, Kuroda will re-apply for his household registration with a new identity. Of course, the new identity is not open to the public. open secret.

As for Kazuo Furuta, the former Minister of Justice, he voluntarily resigned from his position shortly after Kuroda was arrested. In addition, many senior officials closely related to the Tokyo subway bombings also resigned from their positions. These vacant positions are basically They are all in the hands of some officials from the Ministry of Justice. Takeshi Sakurai, who once served as a deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, became the new chairman of the National Security Committee after Heizo Inagaki, the former chairman of the National Public Security Committee, was promoted to the new foreign minister of the RB.

These series of changes all herald the re-emergence of Ando, ​​an important faction in the ruling Democratic Constitutional Party, which was once torn apart because of Ando Taishan's death. As a core member of the Ando Society, Nobuko Ando has naturally become the biggest beneficiary of this political change.

"I heard from Jingzi that you have a good hand in making coffee. How does it compare to the coffee I made by myself?" In the office of the newly promoted Minister of Justice, Nobuko Ando, ​​Nobuko Ando personally filled a cup of coffee for Lin Xiuyi , Lin Xiu couldn't shirk, so he had to taste it seriously.

"The quality of the coffee itself is very good. It should be the best Blue Mountain coffee bar. You can't detect the bitterness of the coffee at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste. In addition, the fermentation and roasting of the coffee beans are perfect. However, some coffees are not as finely ground as possible..." Lin Xiuyi commented objectively and calmly on the coffee made by Nobuko Ando himself, and did not give too high an evaluation because of the identity of the other party.

"Haha, the Forest Police Department is still so outspoken! This time, the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Police Department joined forces to solve the case of Akio Kuroda, and the Forest Police Department has done a great job!" Minister of Justice Ando said to Lin Xiuyi with a smile.

"Actually, I would have continued to investigate the whereabouts of the accomplices who assisted Kuroda in escaping the prison, but for some reason, these guys left RB early before the search class arrived, which is really strange..." Lin Xiuyi carefully observed Minister Ando's expression, the other's smile did not change in the slightest, he still looked at Lin Xiuyi seriously, but he never answered the question raised by Lin Xiuyi.

"Dong dong dong..." After a while of knocking on the door, Jingzi walked in from the door with a tea tray and placed a refreshment in front of Lin Xiuyi. Minister Ando glanced at Jingzi and then introduced Lin Xiuyi. Said: "Lin Police Department, this is the newly promoted section head of our Minister of Justice's Office Secretary Section, and also your old friend Nagao Keiko..."

Lin Xiuyi looked at Jingzi and hurriedly stood up. Jingzi didn't speak to Lin Xiuyi, but just nodded, and Lin Xiuyi returned a salute in the same way.

"Nagao-san, do you live in Akasaka now?" Lin Xiuyi felt a little embarrassed, and immediately asked.

"Yes, I am really reluctant to leave Kichijoji! Thanks to you and Miko for taking care of me in the past, I am really grateful!"

"Anywhere, I also received a lot of care from you!"

……

After chatting with Jingzi for a while, Lin Xiuyi asked Minister Ando again about something related to Kuroda's case.

"Minister Ando, ​​I heard that the criminal officer Iwaki, who was in charge of watching Otakuda at the time, seems to have become a legal officer of the consulate abroad? And he and you seem to be from the same hometown?"

"Oh? Really? It's the first time I've heard of such a thing! Hey! I just took over the job of the Ministry of Justice, and I'm still in the dark about many specific things? Why is there anything illegal about this matter? ?" Ando Nobuko smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly asked with some sudden realization.

"That's not true. Even if there is, I'm afraid it's not the scope of the investigation of the search class. I just want to clarify all the details. If I ask you a question that makes you uncomfortable, please forgive my presumptuousness!" Lin Xiuyi used it intriguingly She looked at Nobuko Ando with an attitude, and Nobuko Ando felt very uncomfortable under Lin Xiuyi's gaze. She felt that Lin Xiuyi's gaze seemed to be able to shoot directly into the heart.

"Forest Police Department, for your excellent performance in this investigation, our Ministry of Justice cherishes talents like you. I wonder if you are willing to work in the Ministry of Justice? I heard that the Metropolitan Police Department did not seem to give you What a reward!"

"Thank you for your appreciation~lightnovelpub.net~ I think I'm more suitable to be a police officer!" Lin Xiuyi refused very succinctly. He knew very well what Minister Ando was thinking, and he knew too much. Continue It is too dangerous to put it in the search class. If you go to the Ministry of Justice, all your work will be under Ando's eyes. This is the result that Lin Xiuyi absolutely does not want.

"Minister, if I have nothing to do, I will leave first!"

After clearly rejecting Minister Ando's solicitation, Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to leave. The biggest beneficiaries of this case are Nobuko Ando and the Ando Society to which she belongs. And all this is largely due to Lin Xiuyi's investigation. After all, if Kuroda really detonated the explosive in his hand, it would be Ando Nobuko's turn to step down.

"Why don't you finish your coffee before leaving?" Congressman Ando asked in surprise.

"No, for me, the cup of coffee in the morning has already satisfied my caffeine intake for the whole day..."

Lin Xiu said goodbye to Minister Ando together. Minister Ando asked Jingzi to send Lin Xiuyi away for her.

After walking out of the office, Jing Zi suddenly pulled Lin Xiuyi to a secluded corner as before, and then bowed deeply to Lin Xiu, thanking Lin Xiu for saving her life.

"Nagao-san, in fact, you don't have to remember so much, but I really have something important to trouble you with..." Lin Xiu said to Jingzi with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh? Did Xiu Yi-kun encounter any difficulties?" Jing Zi asked curiously.

"If possible, can you book a seat for Sukiyabashi Jiro for me? I want to experience the best sushi in RB with my subordinate Miki..."
