The secretary stared in astonishment at the tall young man in front of him. Even though what he said was so horrifying, he acted as if it was a matter of course.
People’s joys and sorrows are different, and their ways of dealing with things are also different.
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that Mr. Domon and Makoto Sakaki had different tempers, otherwise Councillor Domon would probably be lying in bed now.
Sakaki Cheng sat on the sofa, looking sideways at the office door, thinking:
Yasuteru Domon's father had an extramarital affair 20 years ago, which almost caused the family to break up. This is a big stain.
For politicians, reputation is very important. At least in front of the public, their image must be decent, otherwise will the masses be willing?
No one wants to see a person with a bad record leading them. The same goes for the entertainment industry. Once a celebrity is involved in a scandal, he or she may be ruined in an instant.
but....
Although the scandal caused by Domon Yasuteru's father has nothing to do with him, it will still have some impact on him.
In that case....
Sakaki Makoto began to consider whether or not to tell Gin about this.
The Black Organization will definitely make a big fuss about this matter, causing Domon Yasuki's support rate to drop and eventually lead to his defeat by Senzo Junji.
But thinking about it...
Sakaki Makoto decided to give up this year for the time being.
Things have not yet developed to the point where the scandal has to be used. Domon Yasuteru's current support rate is only 43.5%, which has dropped by 0.3% from the day before yesterday. It has stabilized a lot, but it is still a big gap compared to Junji Sento's 45.5%. If the current situation continues to develop, his defeat is a foregone conclusion.
On the bright side, even if he loses this election, given his age, he can still run in the next election. But if a scandal breaks out...
It is estimated that from now on, Yasuteru Domon will no longer have the chance to become a member of parliament.
Sakaki Makoto really doesn't want to do something like this that would destroy someone's dreams unless it's absolutely necessary.
Click.
The office door opened, and Yasuki Domon and Subaru Okiya walked out, their depressed mood swept away and with faint smiles on their faces. It seemed that the rehearsal went well.
"Come on, let's go to the press conference."
Holding the speech manuscript, Yasuki Domon waved to Makoto Sakaki with a look of confidence.
The press conference was held at the Beika City Hall, and Makoto Sakaki was considered a frequent visitor here.
The occasion was very formal. When the Mercedes-Benz convoy arrived at the Mihua City Hall, many reporters had already gathered at the door. The interview car was parked on the side of the road, and the reporters with cameramen were on standby.
As soon as the Mercedes-Benz came to a stop, a group of reporters rushed up, with spotlights flashing, and asked Yasuteru Domon all kinds of questions.
"Mr. Domon, what do you think about your cracking of the wild animal smuggling case in Hirai Village?"
"Mr. Domon, your approval rating is currently lower than Senzu Junji's. Do you think you can win this election?"
"Mr. Domon..."
For these questions...
Domon Yasuki dismissed them with just one sentence:
"I will answer all questions at the press conference. I have no further comment now."
When the reporters heard this, they stopped asking any more questions. All the reporters who could gather here were invited to attend the press conference. The questions just now were just to compete for first-hand information.
The bodyguards cleared the way and pushed aside the crowded crowd. Under the guidance of the staff, Sakaki Makoto and Domon Yasuki came to the conference hall on the first floor.
The venue had been arranged long ago. After arriving at the conference hall, Sakaki Makoto took out the metal detector he had prepared in advance and carefully checked every corner to prevent any "illegal elements" from installing eight eggs.
After the inspection, Sakaki came to the backstage lounge:
"Boss, the site has been inspected and there is nothing abnormal."
“Okay, okay…”
Domon Yasuki readily agreed and pointed to the chair next to him and said:
"It's only 10 o'clock now. The press conference is at 11 o'clock. Sit down and rest for a while."
As soon as Sakaki Makoto sat down, a bottle of mineral water was handed to him. When he looked up, he saw Subaru Okiya smiling at him.
"Does Mr. Okiya have a girlfriend?"
As for the mineral water, Sakaki Makoto asked:
"I think a great guy like you should have a very beautiful girlfriend."
"Um..."
Subaru Okiya raised his left hand and showed the silver ring on his ring finger:
"I am married."
"get married?"
Makoto Sakaki was stunned for a moment. Most of the FBI members he had met were not married, let alone wearing rings.
If Subaru Okiya was not himself but an FBI member in disguise, then there was no need for him to wear a ring.
The reason for wearing a ring is not difficult to guess. Under normal circumstances, the finger on which the ring is worn for a long time will be slightly different from other fingers, either in skin color or thickness.
Subaru Okiya put on the ring, which meant that the person pretending to be him was also married, and he did not take off the ring to avoid being exposed.
but....
"I see your profile says you're unmarried."
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"Did they just get married two days ago?"
"No, she and I had our wedding, but we haven't registered it with the district office yet because of some minor issues..."
Subaru Okiya explained:
"She is a foreigner, and the marriage procedures are a bit troublesome."
"I see."
Sakaki Makoto nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
If people of different nationalities want to get married, the procedures are definitely more complicated than those for people of the same nationality, so even if they exchange rings, they often fail to report to the local government.
"Is Mr. Okiya's wife in Japan?"
Domon Yasuaki was somewhat interested in this topic:
"You have helped me so much, I should treat you to dinner."
"Mr. Domon, you are too polite. I will convey your meaning to her, but I am afraid the result will disappoint you."
Okiya Subaru smiled and shook his head:
"She is not in Japan and has her own work to do, so..."
"I see. That's a shame."
Domon Yasuteru sighed regretfully and looked at Sakaki Makoto meaningfully.
In the conversation just now, he and Sakaki Makoto had cooperated a little bit, both trying to trick Subaru Okiya, even if it would reveal some flaws, but the result was not satisfactory, as Subaru Okiya's defense was impeccable.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Okiya Subaru walked out of the lounge.
"I'll go too. The press conference will last two hours, and it's not convenient to go to the toilet during the conference..."
Domon Yasuteru also stood up and walked out the door.
In the blink of an eye, Sakaki Makoto was the only one left in the lounge.
Sakaki Makoto took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Conan and others who had mixed in with the group of reporters.
After receiving the text message, Conan immediately set out, bypassing the crowd alone, walking quickly with his short legs, and ran straight to the staff toilet on the first floor.
He turned the corner and just happened to see Subaru Okiya and Yasuteru Domon entering the bathroom one after another. His eyes rolled around and he trotted after them.
