Chapter 38 is a provocation

The Fujihira Group is not one of the top domestic conglomerates; it can only be said to be one of the upper-class ones.

Since the King of the Sky had investigated Sugiura Yoshinaga's intelligence so clearly and in detail, it is impossible for him not to know that President Fujihira was in collusion with Sugiura Yoshinaga. If he had mentioned the fact that he accepted bribes from President Fujihira and colluded with President Fujihira when he was reading out the charges live, the higher-ups would have immediately investigated President Fujihira for the sake of giving an explanation to the people.

However, the King of the Solitary did not mention the existence of President Fujihira in his "trial" of Sugiura Yoshinaga. This leaves two possibilities. One is that the King of the Solitary did not intend to have him investigated, but judging from the King of the Solitary's style, this is simply impossible. That is the second possibility -

President Fujiwara is his next target.

As far as Sou no Ou expected, the official treatment of President Fujihira would not meet his expectations, so he had to take action himself.

This means that President Fujihira actually committed a serious crime in secret.

The only difference is whether the King of Cang will take such a loud and noisy approach again.

The King of Aoi does not always broadcast live nationwide like this, because some of his targets do not have the shocking power of Councillor Sugiura.

"Let the colonel send a few people with good stealth skills to cooperate with Sakaguchi and others to keep an eye on President Fujihira." Moriogai said.

"good."

After Ozaki Kouyo left, Mori Ogai picked up another document, which was a list of people within the organization from Sentanweng.

It was something that Mori Ogai mentioned to him casually last time when they were in the car, asking him to submit a report on the talented people in the organization. The report was mostly a list of names, with several sheets of paper listing the names of the recommended people, and a large column at the back describing the abilities of the member and any past experiences worth mentioning.

The description box takes up more space, resulting in more pages in the list.

Perhaps he knew that the leaders of the people with special abilities in the organization were aware of the situation, so he didn't need to worry about it. In addition, the lists of most auxiliary people with special abilities in the organization were hidden, so in order to avoid suspicion, he did not include the people with special abilities in the list.

Mori Ougai took a quick look and found the first few names familiar. After all, he had seen one of them quite a lot recently, and another one had assassinated Nakahara Chuuya during the period of the previous leader.

Thinking of the doctor who had given him appetite stimulants several times, Mori Ougai still felt a phantom pain in his stomach.

Ah, it’s not necessarily phantom pain. After all, his stomach hasn’t fully recovered yet.

"Well, is it selfish?"

【What? 】

Sen Ouwai paused for a moment, then he remembered, "Ah, you don't seem to know about the Flag Club yet."

[Flag meeting?] Ace was curious after hearing the new term, [What is that for?]

"It's the youth mutual aid association within the organization. Most of the best young people are here." Mori Oo said, "I remember that Albatross seemed to have joined a while ago."

The small group within the organization, the Banner Society, existed during the time of the previous leader. Although the Banner Society was suspected of being a small group, it was indeed approved by the leader. The reason why the leader agreed to its existence was also very simple: it could select talents more simply and clearly.

To put it more clearly, members of the flag club can be said to be the reserve force of cadres.

【Oh wow.】Ace made an interested sound.

Mori Ogai immediately became alert and decisively interrupted the reading he was about to say: "Come to think of it, Chuuya-kun is also a very good young man. What do you think about letting him join the flag?"

[Huh? Chuuya has hardly seen anyone from the Flag Raising Society, right? Shouldn't he be allowed to choose for himself? Ah, if that's the case, then I don't think I've seen anyone other than Albatross?]

Mori Ogai: "...No, you have seen it. Didn't we summon a lot of people when Omi was still here? Most of the people we summoned at that time were on the list."

At that time, he had just taken office and had not yet secured his position. In addition, he wanted to deal with Omi, so he summoned a large number of capable young people in the organization. He was even assassinated more than once during this period.

"And you have seen this doctor before. He is the one you have been seeing frequently in the medical department recently."

So you should reflect on yourself! Why did I go to the doctor more often after you came?

But Ace didn't think this was because of his own self-awareness. He suddenly said, "Oh, it's him! By the way, do the flag clubs have a common venue? Why don't we go take a look?"

Mori Ouwai thought for a moment, "There is a place where they occasionally go to an entertainment venue called 'Old World' for gatherings, but the frequency is very rare, and you may not be able to see them even if you go there. It is better to look for them one by one at their workplaces."

Many of the members of the flag club are heads of various departments, much busier than ordinary members, and even if you go to find them, they may still be out on the field. As for their gathering places, they are not ordinary members after all, and if they have a close relationship, it will arouse suspicion. Naturally, someone will tell the leader about the locations of multiple gatherings.

[Then let's go check them out one by one?] Ace glanced at the list in his hand from the perspective of Morioh and urged, [It seems that there are quite a few people. After all, they are all companions. Let's go check them out one by one! Just treat it as a way to keep in touch!]

...quite a lot? Mori Ouwai looked down at the list in his hand, his expression slightly changed.

Did he mean to look through all the people on the list? There are 9 pages!

"…No rush. He's there anyway. There'll always be a chance to see him. But if you really want to see him, you can always ask them to come over when they're not on duty."

Mori Ogai said this and summoned the pianist, the leader of the flag society, over.

This young man's attack method is very interesting. He uses piano wire to attack. The thin and tough piano wire can achieve the effect of a blade when it is fast or forcibly strangled. The wire is usually rolled up and is also convenient to carry, and it is even more unexpected when used. His flexible manipulation technique makes him almost give people the illusion of a person with superpowers.

The pianist was a little surprised when he was summoned to the chief's office, but he didn't think much about it. He must have a mission to be assigned to him, but he didn't know what it was that the chief summoned him in person.

"Chief." The pianist bowed upon arriving at the office without looking around or asking any questions.

Mori Ogai exchanged a few polite words with him, and then asked, "You should know about Chuuya Nakahara who was recently recruited into the organization, right?"

"Yes, Chief." Of course he knew, after all, one of his acquaintances had assassinated the other, although that was an old story from when the previous chief was still alive.

"I hope you can take care of him as a senior. Well... it's okay to recruit him into the Flag Association. With his ability, it's probably too early for him to become an officer." Mori Ogai paused and continued, "Ah, Chuuya is a little concerned about the incident that happened in Ray Street before. He may investigate it privately later, but some intelligence is not suitable for reading before he becomes an officer. So, if he does anything in this regard, it will depend on you to guide and stop him."

Although he had previously told Nakahara Chuuya that the information about Arahato in the Port Mafia could only be read by him after he became a cadre, and preferably before Dazai Osamu, otherwise, given their antagonistic relationship, Dazai Osamu would most likely destroy it directly after reading it - using this reason to urge Nakahara Chuuya to integrate into the Port Mafia as soon as possible and create value for the Port Mafia, there was no guarantee that he would not get relevant information from other places, even though the truly useful information about Arahato was so secretive that only a few people knew about it.

If he had obtained the information he wanted before Chuuya Nakahara developed a sense of belonging to the Port Mafia, he might not have stayed in the Port Mafia. In any case, Yang's betrayal was indeed the work of the Port Mafia. Even if he will not return to the disbanded Yang, there is no guarantee that he will stay.

With Ace around, Lan Tang might not be able to stay. He must keep this overwhelming force.

[…Isn’t it necessary? If Chuuya wants to know something, why not just give it to him?] Although he didn’t know what Moriowa was thinking, he still felt that something was wrong with what he said. However, he only felt that there was something wrong with this information, and he felt that it was not a good idea to create obstacles for his companions.

[Some things are known too early, and it is easy to do something irreversible.] Mori Ogai evasively said.

[I see.] Ace said he understood, but he still felt like something was a little off.

The pianist is much more sensitive than him. Although he didn't think much of it when he first heard Mori Ogai say that he hoped they would take care of Nakahara Chuuya, thinking that the leader was optimistic about this newcomer, but after hearing what he said later, it was completely different.

This is to let them monitor Nakahara Chuuya.

But since the leader said so, he had no room to refuse, so he replied: "I understand, leader."

After the pianist left, Mori Ogai finished his work and was about to take Alice out to buy some new dresses when he heard Ace, who had hesitated for a long time, say, "Mr. Ogai, are you hiding something from me?"

Mori Ou paused after taking off his coat and asked calmly, "What are you hiding?"

Although he said this, Sen Ou was still sighing in his heart, this guy is really sharp, he obviously didn't notice anything.

Ace was at a loss for words. He just had a feeling that Senou was hiding something from him, but since he didn't tell him, he had no idea what he was hiding, so he immediately lost his temper.

Mori Ogai changed into clothes for going out and called Alice out again, "Alice-chan~ let's go out and buy a cute little skirt~!"

Alice pouted, "Stupid Rintaro buys so much! I don't want to go with Rintaro! I want to go with Ace!"

Mori Ougai burst into tears: "Alice-chan - are you giving up on me so quickly?!"

"Ah——Rintaro is so disgusting!"

[Haha, isn't this very interesting, Mr. Ougai?]

"You're the only one who thinks he's interesting! He's already a middle-aged man, but he's still acting cute and coquettish. How disgusting!"

Although Ace's words cannot be expressed through sound, Alice is after all the supernatural power of the body he is in.

Mori Ogai covered his chest and wailed exaggeratedly: "Wuwuwu——Alice-chan~It's so sad to say this——But because Alice-chan is so cute, I have no choice but to forgive you, wuwu——"

“Knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door. Sen Ou looked at the door of the office and sat down in his seat. "Come in."

Ozaki Kouyo walked in calmly and closed the door, pretending not to have heard what had just happened in the office.

"Mr. Ouwai, we have found some new information. The two drug dealers who were killed in the police station were killed by a corrupt policeman in the public security team. Our people found out that the corrupt policeman had a long-term private deal with Fujihira Seiichi (the president). It should be Fujihira Seiichi who silenced him."

At this point, Ozaki Kouyo narrowed her eyes, revealing a bit of sharpness in them. "Moreover, we also found out that the previous batch of drugs that flowed into Yokohama was also involved in the drug shipment to Yokohama by Fujihira Seiichi. He is very likely the person or one of the people behind the drug shipment to Yokohama."

"Also, I asked Sakaguchi Ango to infiltrate the places Fujihira Seiichi had been to and checked, and got a dark web account. However, I asked the hackers from the Ministry of Information to track it, but before they could track down the IP address, the account was tracked back and left a punctuation mark. After that, the account became an empty number."

After hearing this, Sen Ouwai also revealed a dangerous look, "It's a provocation."
