Chapter 44 Four Presidents
Like the parallel world that Akae had visited that month, the new world's Morobu Kagemitsu was also stolen by an undercover agent planted in the Metropolitan Police Department a few years ago. Although the player successfully nipped the crisis in the bud after reading the file, his identity was leaked last year and he was hunted down by Gin.
Even though Morobu Jingguang's death flag was successfully destroyed this time, his identity was exposed and he was destined to hide temporarily. It was not until the organization was destroyed that he restored his identity and position and became a public security officer again.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems with Morobushi Kagemitsu - Akae Nazuki and Furuya Rei both acted as his guarantors, and he also had the support of Chief Kuroda of the National Police Agency. In addition, Morobushi Kagemitsu himself was quite capable, so basically no one would have any objections to him.
Not to mention the distant ones, whether it is the Metropolitan Police Department or the National Police Department, after the "Tokyo Great Cleansing Plan" during the lockdown last year, all the garbage, big and small, inside has been basically removed and detained. Not to mention the iron barrels, at least this time Akae Nayue doesn't have to worry about the existence of any traitors who leaked undercover intelligence.
However, the problem this time does not lie within the Metropolitan Police Department, but comes from the government.
After receiving the call from Noah's Ark, Akajinazuki almost laughed out of anger: he almost lost sight of the light and forgot that the original garbage in Tokyo was destroyed, but some of it came in after the world merged.
Noah's Ark is a masterpiece created by its creator Hiroki with great efforts. It is a self-growing artificial intelligence that has surpassed the current technology for nearly a hundred years. Because Hiroki was rescued from the United States by Akae Nayue, he has been with Akae Nayue since birth. Like Hiroki, Noah's Ark has always regarded "Brother Nayue" as an idol.
Because of this, a few years ago, Noah's Ark took the initiative to propose to Hongshu to use their own data to create a lower-level AI with abilities similar to their own but incapable of growth, and hand it over to the police department to help their Brother Na Yue more.
Now, this subordinate AI has become the exclusive AI of the Police Department, codenamed Gophermu, also known as Noah No. 2.
Gopherwood itself was separated from Noah's Ark, and the latter always has its highest authority. Therefore, when the data of Morobushi Kagemitsu that had been locked up layer by layer by Akae in Gopherwood's database was forcibly retrieved, Noah's Ark would be the first to receive the news.
[That person tried twice. The first time, he used the authority of a congressman, but was denied access by No. 2. The second time, he didn't take the formal route at all, but directly hacked into No. 2's system.] An electronic voice identical to Hiroki's came through the speaker. [What's even more strange is that they actually succeeded in hacking.]
It is incredible that they stole the highly encrypted data from two epoch-making artificial intelligences, even if Noah arrived in time and only leaked a little.
Since the problem does not come from Tokyo, which has already been cleansed by him, then... Akae Nazuki immediately thought of a person who could do this: Tayama Hanabi, a former member of the Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama, who has the ability to operate electronic equipment.
If she relied on the stolen pages to enhance her abilities, there was no doubt that Hanadaku Tayama could have done it.
Sure enough, after Akae Nazuki asked Yokohama, she learned from Kunikida Doppo that Tayama Hanabi had indeed disappeared not long ago and they were also looking for him.
The person suspected of transferring the information of Morofushi Kagemitsu and kidnapping Tayama Hanabiru is undoubtedly Fukuchi Sakurachi and the mysterious organization behind him.
This mysterious organization cannot be [Hound].
Even if Fukuchi Sakurachi is the captain of "Hound Dog", the other people in the team are also government officials in name. If Fukuchi Sakurachi really used "Hound Dog" directly, he would not be called a hero of the Far East among the psychics.
Akajinazuki rubbed his knuckles thoughtfully, and suddenly a name that Dazai Osamu had mentioned casually appeared in his mind.
A terrorist organization with superpowers, the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Earth.
He almost couldn't help laughing, this time it was because the official actions of the Psychic were so ridiculous.
A member of a terrorist organization was actually regarded by the Japanese government as a representative of Japanese superpowers, and became the captain of the special forces "Hound"...
It's so interesting.
However, the person that Fukuchi Sakurachi was actually investigating secretly was probably only Akae Nazuki.
Anyone who still remembers the fusion of the two worlds can find that Chijiang Nayue is the only intersection that connects both worlds.
After the organization was destroyed last year, the public security learned something from the captured member of the organization, Chianti, that the reason why Morobushi Kagemitsu, who was still undercover at the time, was confirmed and silenced by Gin was because he had been shot in the head by her personally.
However, Morobushi Kagemitsu is standing here now - this is the real reason why Morobushi Kagemitsu needs Akae Nazuki and Furutani Rei to guarantee his reinstatement.
After all, they couldn't say directly that the person killed by Chianti was actually the resurrected Akae Nazuki.
Fukuchi Sakurachi, who stole the pages of the book, must have already tested the authenticity of the pages and learned the practicality of the so-called universal wishing machine.
It is estimated that he accidentally learned about Morobushi Kagemitsu while investigating Akae Nazuki, and thus linked it to the [Book], suspecting that it was Akae Nazuki who used the [Book] to resurrect Morobushi Kagemitsu.
Chijiang Nayue just wants to say: Good guess, don’t guess again next time.
Anyway, in the eyes of Fukuchi Sakurachi and the others, Morofushi Kagemitsu has been completely labeled as Akae Nazuki. Now that [Hound] has been integrated and become a regular government force, Akae Nazuki is not prepared to directly attack them for the time being.
In order to prevent Morobushi Kagemitsu from being affected again during subsequent incidents and plans, Akae Nazuki finally made a deal with Commander Kuroda two months ago.
The document that Morobu Jingguang accidentally saw in the office was part of the deal.
The Detective Agency will then help to block the power of the superpower unit "Hound Dog" outside the Police Department and the Metropolitan Police Department, and Kuroda will transfer Morobushi Keiko from the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department to the Police Department on the surface, but in fact agree to let him temporarily join the Detective Agency.
Rather than a deal, it was more of a promise that Akae Nazuki made to Chief Kuroda... Who made him the most trusted and valued "supernova in the police force" by Chief Kuroda for more than seven years? The latter never intended to stop Akae Nazuki from protecting Morobushi Kagemitsu.
The memories ended, Chijiang Nayue yawned lazily and tapped her earrings with her fingers.
"Noah, help me talk to Uncle Kuroda, just say..." He woke up the artificial intelligence in the communicator, stood up and jumped a few times on the spot to loosen his muscles.
The black-haired detective brushed his cape and said cheerfully, "The 'rat' has come out of the hole. We can prepare for the second cleaning."
There are always some dirty corners in a city, and at this time someone is needed to clean the corners and kill snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Right? Once is new, twice is familiar.
[Received~] Noah's Ark's lively voice rang out in the reception room, [By the way, Ida-san said he would bring Natalie-san and Xiao-chan over tonight. ]
As soon as the topic turned to his friends, Chi Jiang Na Yue's expression softened visibly, his smile became more genuine, and he was even in the mood to tease: "Brother Hang, aren't you afraid that Xiao will be bullied by us?"
This is the difference between the parallel world and the real world. In Akae Nazuki's own world, he had attended the wedding of Date Kou and Natalie before the organization was destroyed last year, and Xiao was the name of their child.
They are obviously close friends from the same class. The class monitor's child is already one year old, while the other five are still single. As a result, sometimes they can't even find the class monitor at their gatherings, and he has to go home to help his wife and take care of the children.
"By the way, here are those photos. I'll leave the search to you, Noah." Chijiang Nayue took out the photos from the paper bag and waved them under the surveillance camera next to the door to ensure that Noah's Ark, who was in charge of the surveillance, could see them. "The range is locked near the Sun Tower, two months ago."
Among the photos provided by Sayuri Suzumura, only the first one showed some information - maybe the other party showed it to him on purpose - the outline of a building could be vaguely seen in the corner.
It is a landmark building in Tokyo, once the Twin Towers and now the Tower of the Sun.
In addition to sending the professional Noah's Ark to look for the victims in the photos, during these three days, Akae Nayue will also have people secretly keep an eye on Sayuri Suzumura's situation to see if any impatient mice will come over to investigate.
Of course, the JK friend of Sayuri Suzumura, who has already confirmed that her stance is wrong, needs the detective agency to have a good talk with her.
——Just chatting.
The black-haired detective hummed a song and stepped lightly on the tiles without making any sound. When he passed the door of the office, Dazai Osamu inside looked up as if he had sensed something, but he only caught a glimpse of a corner of the fluttering black cloak.
Akajina Yue stopped at the elevator entrance and smiled at Morobushi Jingguang who had just returned from sending a client. He would only smile like this in front of his good friends.
——They are a formal organization and they won’t do anything weird.
"Hiro-kun, please tell me in detail about the child who introduced Miss Sayuri." Akae Nazuki said seriously.
——But if the lady accidentally said something during the conversation, it would not be his business, right? After all, he was just an innocent and kind-hearted president of a detective agency.
Morobushi Jingguang on the opposite side pressed his forehead again and reminded him: "Aka, don't play too much."
As the calmest and gentlest person among his friends, Morofushi Kagemitsu is too familiar with the expressions and every move of the youngest, Akae Nazuki. Whenever such a smile appears on that face, someone is bound to be in trouble.
He thought sympathetically: I just hope that the person that aka is targeting will not be left with any psychological shadow this time.
