Chapter 136 This wave of profit

Under Douma's relentless pressure, Taneda Santouki finally had to admit that their Special Powers Department did find out some information about the "book".

According to the witness who provided the clue, he once peeked through the window and saw his neighbor writing and drawing in a bound notebook. Then, after the neighbor stopped writing, incredible things appeared out of thin air in the narrow house.

As for more specific events that followed, the witness claimed that he knew nothing about them, because according to him, since witnessing this incident, he never dared to spy on his neighbors again.

In Japan, where the concentration of the second dimension is too high, no ordinary person dares to provoke a neighbor who is suspected of having superpowers, not to mention that this world itself has the existence of superpowers. It's just that most Japanese, under the policy of secrecy by the upper class, think that superpowers are just urban legends.

"I have no intention of hiding this from you, but the investigators are still in the verification stage. At present, we can only say that there are traces of the suspected 'book'. The Special Powers Special Service Department cannot be 100% sure of its authenticity, so we have not informed you of this matter." Taneda Santouki explained in a calm voice.

Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Special Powers Agent Division, which Douma cannot see, Taneda Santouki is trying solemnly to round around the situation which is heading in a bad direction. No matter what, he cannot let Douma catch the Special Powers Agent Division deliberately concealing this news.

The nature of this matter is completely different from the Supernatural Special Agent Department sending spies to infiltrate the port mafia to obtain intelligence, and it can even be said that it is not on the same level.

Because, when Douma signed the contract with the Cabinet as a transcendent, a clause was deliberately added that the Special Powers Department would help Douma find the "book".

If Douma catches that their Special Powers Agent Department is secretly concealing the progress of the mission, then he, as the director, won't be able to take the blame alone. The entire Special Powers Agent Department will probably be held accountable by the cabinet, and this is obviously not what Taneda Santouki wants to see.

"Of course... I certainly believe that Director Taneda didn't mean to hide it." Douma said this politely, which no one could believe. The corners of his mouth slightly raised a mocking arc, and his voice became slightly heavier: "But, I hope that there won't be a next time for such an untimely accident. What do you think, Director Taneda?"

"Hahahaha——" Taneda Santohuo's cheeky (crossed out) hearty laughter came from the receiver, as if trying to break the awkward atmosphere between the two. The heavy laughter echoed in the empty room, and soon turned into a solemn promise: "Of course there won't be a next time, I promise."

"..." Douma took advantage of the fact that Sakaguchi Ango wasn't looking at him and rolled his eyes very ungracefully. Why didn't he believe the assurance that came out of the dirty old fox's mouth?

However, with the mental preparation of going to the door and snatching it away if all else fails, Douma is not too worried that Taneda Santouko will continue to play tricks. There are only four years left... After four years, no matter how the Special Ability Service Department makes excuses, the "book" must be handed over to him.

Not convinced? If you are not convinced, go to the three-dimensional world and find Chao Wu Da for a real-life PK. (bushi)

Thinking of this, Douma's mood strangely improved a lot, and he said, "I hope so."

Hearing the implication from Douma's tone that he would not pursue the matter any further, Taneda Santouki finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had the leisure to take out the handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and carefully wipe off the cold sweat on his head and neck.

But before Taneda Santouki could say a few polite words to pave the way for a rude end to this long-winded call, Douma spoke again and stated his true purpose this time: "By the way, I have a few people's files that need to be 'specially' cleaned. Director Taneda, can you help me with this?"

Zhongtian Santouhuo was not surprised to hear this. People in their position would never let go of someone they had caught. Not taking the opportunity to skin the other person would be considered merciful.

Therefore, when Douma proposed to clean up the files of his subordinates, Taneda Santouki nodded and agreed quite readily.

It's not okay to be unhappy. If Zongtian Shantouhuo dares to pretend not to understand the principle of equal exchange today, then when the news spreads out, no one will take him out to play. Sooner or later, he will be squeezed out of the upper circle. In comparison, the gain is not worth the loss.

He just had to do his job. Although asking a few more questions at this time would easily cause Douma's disgust, Taneda Santouki had to bite the bullet and ask who were the people who were in charge of cleaning the files.

Of course, the most important point is what they have done. If they are criminals who have caused serious harm to national interests, then even if it will offend Douma, Taneda Santouki can only be a villain who breaks his promise. Although he thinks this possibility is very small, he has to be on guard.

Douma understood the hidden meaning behind Taneda Santouki's words, but he didn't seem to be angry. Taking a few bottles of real sake would not rise to the national level. Even if the Black Organization is an international criminal organization in a strict sense, it sounds like it is very harmful.

But precisely because the Black Organization is an internationally active criminal organization, how could a tiny country like Japan be their main battlefield?

Although the real reason is that the previous boss, Karasuma Renya, was extremely afraid of death and did not dare to reveal his identity, so he deliberately reduced the activity and severity of the Black Organization in Japan, but no matter what, the Japanese officials have no excuse not to release them.

After the files are cleaned and Gin and others become completely clean, they will openly become members of the Port Mafia, so it won't make much difference whether they say it or not at this time. What's more, if he informs the official representative of the Special Powers Department in advance before the plan officially starts, maybe the follow-up will be smoother?

On the other end of the phone, Taneda Santohuo heard Douma's nonchalant words. Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and expressed his inner protest with silence: "..."

Not to mention the quietly listening complainer, Ango Sakaguchi, who almost couldn't help but complain about Douma on the spot, but luckily his strong sense as an excellent spy held him back and prevented him from doing something stupid that would make him regret it.

Douma, who was telling the truth and not deliberately being pretentious, knew nothing about the intense inner activities of the two men. He said with a rather sad tone, "But I unexpectedly discovered that there were undercover agents from all sides lurking inside this organization, including Interpol, FBI investigators, CIA spies, British MI6, and Japanese public security."

"..." My goodness, what kind of serious crime must have happened to cause so many countries to send people to conduct undercover investigations? Zhongtian Shantouhuo suppressed the urge to slap his forehead. He felt that this matter seemed to be a little difficult to handle. Generally, matters involving diplomacy are a little difficult to handle.

Unlike Chief Taneda who thought more deeply, Ango Sakaguchi, who was a critic, focused on the undercover agents who were accidentally discovered. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: Beep beep beep - he must have been exposed this time because of that guy, right? Absolutely! Grass (a kind of plant).

Douma didn't care whether he had blown up the others or not, and continued to talk to himself: "In short, I plan to take out the people who can be used in it, and pack up the rest and give them to the police of various countries to handle the task. Chief Taneda should understand my concerns, right?"

"..." Today, Taneda Santohuo turned into an ellipsis spirit, trying his best to ignore the urge to grab the golden cicada after hearing the criminals trying to escape from its shell. After a long while, he managed to find his voice and said meaningless words in a clearly dry voice: "Ah - that's it."

Taneda Santoka's irrelevant answer made Douma say in dissatisfaction, "Hmm?"

Hearing Douma's dissatisfaction, Taneda Santouki quickly said, "I already understand the general situation, but may I ask what this organization you are talking about is..."

Douma then realized that he had forgotten to add the name of the Black Organization in his statement. After a second of embarrassment, he acted as if nothing had happened and directly replied, "The outside world calls it the Black Organization."

This harmless omission did not attract any special attention. People just thought Douma was deliberately keeping the secret by putting the name of the organization at the end and saying that Taneda Santouki's attention was now entirely focused on thinking about and obtaining intelligence on the Black Organization.

Time was running out. While recalling the information about the Black Organization in his memory, Taneda Santouko's fingers danced quickly on the internal communicator, sending the order to retrieve intelligence to his deputy.

Soon, the deputy who received the order delivered the information he requested to Taneda Santoka's desk, and combined with the bits and pieces of his memory, he came up with a result that satisfied everyone (?): "No problem, the Special Ability Service Department can meet your request, as long as you hand over the true identity of the person who needs to be whitewashed... ahem, modified the file to me."

As for the colleague who happened to be sitting next to him at the New Year's party, he didn't hear it when he got drunk and couldn't help boasting, "Once the black organization closes in, he will get a huge reward for his merits."

I'm sorry, Sato-kun. Taneda Santouki said this insincerely in his heart, and then a rather shameless thought came to his mind, why didn't he try to atone for his sins in this matter?

So without waiting for Douma to speak, Taneda Santouko, who had opened his mind, immediately added: "Since it is an organization controlled by you, perhaps I can help you contact some people to secretly protect the Black Organization's industries in Japan and merge them directly into the name of the Port Mafia."

"Huh, is this possible?" Douma's eyes widened in surprise for this sudden unexpected gain.

"Of course, although it's not easy, the Special Powers Division will try its best to do it for you. I just hope it will make you happy." Taneda Santouki took the opportunity to take credit and wanted to smooth over the Special Powers Division's repeated insincere and hypocritical behavior, so that Douma would completely give up the possibility of pursuing these matters.

And Douma... Douma naturally wouldn't refuse the pie that fell directly into his mouth. Anyway, he had no intention of really pursuing this matter.

Because to be honest, the Cabinet and the Special Powers Department are the real insiders, and he, an extra-staff transcendent, is even a fake. If they really get tough and fall out with them, the result is unpredictable.

Douma had thought everything through and gladly accepted the unexpected surprise given to him by Taneda Santouki. He returned the favor by looking at Sakaguchi Ango who was pretending to be a wooden stake. He said to Taneda Santouki on the other end of the phone, "The work style of the Special Powers Division is really good. As for Sakaguchi-kun, do you want to send someone to pick him up or let him go back by himself?"

Being willing to let the person go cleanly and decisively obviously successfully expressed Douma's sincerity. At this moment, Taneda Santouki finally relaxed completely and was very satisfied with the result of this exchange of interests.

Douma, who was equally satisfied: Wu Hu, you made a profit this time.
