Conan's Science Manga Artist Kudo Yuuji

"Minister Hattori, we had some unpleasantness last night, but I think we can talk about it."

In the chief's office, Chairman Ooka sat in the main seat and handed the tea in front of Hattori Heizo, then glanced at the grandfather and grandson playing shogi at the desk.

"I have learned about the situation here. In fact, your son did not have any rude words or behaviors to my granddaughter. Instead, Hongye misheard and misunderstood until today."

Last night, I learned about the situation from my granddaughter indirectly. Even Chairman Ooka himself felt that it was a bit outrageous, and he had to admit that what the grandson-in-law of the Nan family said might be true.

"It's great that you didn't get sick because of my son's rudeness."

If the new police chief hadn't sold out everyone's mouth in time last night, I'm afraid that the gossip that Hattori Heiji drove the former prime minister crazy would have been reported in various Japanese media early this morning.

"Thank you for your concern."

After saying some polite words, Chairman Ooka retreated to his desk, glared at Minami Masamune and Yoshioka who avoided his sight, and occupied the boss's office chair after the two of them passed.

"Mr. Hattori is still full of heroic spirit."

Yuji, who was gently hit on his numb legs and feet by the old man and wanted to end the conversation quickly, was the first to say hello.

"From your tone, it seems that we are old acquaintances." Hattori Heizo glanced at Mr. Yoshioka with his eagle eyes, and there was no image of this face. He said bluntly: "Do I have a grudge against you?"

"This... This is not the case..."

"Then why did you speak yesterday as if you were going to destroy our Hattori family."

Hattori Heizo noticed the guilty actions and some subtle details that this man inadvertently revealed, and first confirmed, and then ignored him.

"Osaka and Kyoto are the second largest cities in Japan after Tokyo, but Osaka is much safer than Tokyo."

Minami Masamune talked about business, and the smile on his face was covered up, and he became very serious: "Tokyo has experienced many terrorist attacks in just one month. The Tokyo Tower was destroyed and the police department was attacked. I really don't know where the next one will be."

The old man tilted his head slightly and said simply: "Tetsuo, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

I didn't expect that I would be asked to speak. After a brief confusion, Yuji immediately sorted it out in his mind.

"In my opinion, these attacks are all aimed at large facilities and buildings in Tokyo, so the importance of our protection can also be judged according to this standard."

Yuji stood up with the help of the table, turned on the projector left in the chief's office, and played the current map of Tokyo.

"During this period of time, Tokyo has built new buildings such as AQUA Crystal Ocean Entertainment Center, Suzuki Tower, Suzuki Museum of Art, Touto Aquarium, and Ocean's Edge."

The screen followed the newly built large buildings and slowly moved to the sea: "In addition, Interpol has deployed ocean buoys in the waters of Japan, and the first cruise ceremony of the Aegis ship is coming soon."

"The storm is coming." Minami Masamune couldn't help but sighed, then held his forehead and began to think about whether he would lose too much to take over the position of the Chief of the National Police Agency.

"According to the rampant criminals these times, it is very likely that they will choose one of the locations to plan." Hattori Heizo nodded. As the Osaka Police Chief, he was not very familiar with Tokyo and didn't say anything more.

"I suggest that we strengthen the security of these locations in advance so that we can react immediately when something happens."

"I'm afraid that's impossible." Yuji explained: "Most of the buildings inside are assets of the Suzuki Group. Without their permission, we can't just stuff police in there."

This is the disadvantage of a government that serves capitalists. At least before something happens, the Metropolitan Police Department must not interfere with these places openly, so as to prevent the Suzuki Group from being dissatisfied with the law enforcement agencies and causing more serious consequences.

"It seems that the police in Tokyo are much more gentle than our Osaka."

There are no headquarters of any consortiums in Osaka. Although Hattori Heizo can understand that, he really can't empathize with them.

"Who cares about the consortium? Just bring people to enforce control." Hattori Heizo narrowed his eyes and smiled a little: "Or is it that the mobile forces in Tokyo don't listen to the orders of the superiors?"

I was right...
