Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

On this late autumn night, the report on Sigmund Tokyo Trading Company Sinner K's Trafficking and Prohibited Fruit Experiments was published in a not-so-obvious section of the Asahi Shimbun's online version of the Evening Daily. Pointing the finger at a certain heavenly member of the upper house of the world government.

Sharp and objective brushwork, detailed and simple narration, tells everything that happened that night at the [exhibition].

Although the signature at the end of the article is a journalist who is interested in and does not have a real name, it still caused a thousand waves.

You must know that the Asahi Shimbun is not an ordinary third-rate tabloid, but one of the representative newspapers and periodicals of the country of Wano, which is mainly oriented towards the intellectual class, and whose style is full of liberalism and professional news.

In addition, the recent frequent disappearance of people in New Tokyo has already caused some panic. Earlier, there were even family members of the missing people who went to the Metropolitan Police Department to sit in protest and demand that they solve the case as soon as possible. As soon as this report came out, the family members were ignited. Emotions have also caused ordinary people to fall into shock and anger.

When the gods enjoyed various privileges in this world, they endured it; when the gods were above the law, they also endured it; now those gods and nobles actually treat human beings as animals and even imprison them for experiments. It's a sale!

This time the people couldn't sit still!

Can't sit still

And the angry bigwigs.

At night, Keta Tomo, who had just poured a cup of coffee at the Asahi Shimbun office, took a cup of coffee and enjoyed a moment of rest during overtime. At the age of 34, he has been divorced for two and a half years and is currently single. He is just a general in the new Tokyo metropolis. Ordinary workers.

Jingle Bell-!

The phone of the office pierced the tranquility of the night!

Fuson! Are you crazy! That report...you...you don't know what you're doing? As soon as the call was connected, the Asahi Shimbun editor-in-chief roared with trembling lips.

Fu Senjing was stunned for a moment, took a sip of coffee, and smiled, Of course I know, you can tell it's me?

Nonsense! That sharp and distinctive style! I'm not the only one who can see it. The editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone lowered his voice and panted, Listen to my advice to Fu Sen, it's too late to stop now, you don't need to gamble. Take care of your own future and life, and after you are found out, those guys may send you to prison for any slander without evidence.

Sorry, there's something you may not be aware of.

Keita Fusen stood by the window of the high-rise office building, looking out at the brightly lit city night, took a deep breath and said, I'm a single father, but my daughter disappeared last month, and I still hope to this day. She just went a long way, but the Metropolitan Police Department called me today to inform the family of the victims, hehehe.

Hearing the news, the other end of the phone was silent.

Don't worry, I'm fine now. Fu Sen Jingtai smiled and continued, Defamation without evidence? Then let them come.

Thinking of the two video recordings that the man sent to his mailbox tonight, a pale and cold smile appeared on Fu Sen Jingta's face.

And who said I have no proof?

Edogawa District.

In a brightly lit convenience store.

Higashinohara and the previous irritable little brother counted the goods and transferred the money after changing shifts, and then changed into the uniform of the convenience store and came to the back of the bar. At this time, no one came in. He had nothing to do and swiped his mobile phone.

Captain Dragonfly?

Did that irritable little brother just say that it happened last night?

Dong Yeyuan opened several portal websites, and his face was slightly startled when he saw the hot search list. When he clicked on the horse-playing video that was the most viewed on the site today, his face became even more strange. Below the video In just ten minutes, it was filled with messages from various netizens.

Unbelievable! Such a thing actually happened in Wano Country New Tokyo?!

Are those young people locked in iron cages ready to sell? Bastards! That's abominable!

I seem to have heard of Sigmund International Trading Company. The office building of the new Tokyo branch is located in the suburbs of Ota District in the south! I have a cousin who went for an interview, but I didn't expect it to be such a magic cave!

Strongly demand that Sigmund get out of Wano! Severely punish the mastermind behind the scenes!

.

Is the guy wearing the dark gold dragonfly mask the 'Captain Dragonfly' in the news? So strong! Pirates and Smiling Tigers are not his opponents!

He's talking about justice out of interest? Haha! I like it! Is this a mockery of those high-level officials of Wano who are savages?!

The Metropolitan Police Department came out to be beaten! Isn't the 'justice without haze' you advertised as neat and tidy as the 'justice driven by interest' in the face of crime?

.

The comment area is still being swiped by new comments, and there is a tendency to form a public opinion storm.

Higashinohara looked at the figure wearing the dark golden dragonfly mask in the video, but he didn't feel anything wrong under the circumstances.

At this time, looking at it from a third point of view, there is some inexplicable embarrassment in my heart, especially the sentence justice caused by interest that caused countless people to discuss in the comment area.

But what does what Captain Dragonfly say have anything to do with me, Higashinohara?

Think about it this way,

He was relieved immediately.

The young teenager is reflecting.

At the same time, the big men who saw this video on the Internet fell into deep thought.

The country of Wano is separated by more than a dozen countries to the west and is located at the junction of the northern and southern continents of the eastern hemisphere. This is the capital circle of Shangjing, the seat of the world government, that is, a giant metropolitan area centered on Shanghai.

It is said to be a metropolitan area, but the actual area covers three small countries with a land area of ​​100,000 square kilometers. There are ten large and small airports in the metropolitan area, and the corporate headquarters buildings of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and countless world oligarchic enterprises are very convenient. Located in this huge metropolitan area, both the transportation and the economy are the world's leading prosperity and convenience.

Shangjing Tianren Special Zone, the top floor of the Sigmund International Trading Company Building.

Congressman Hope, who just got off work from the congress building known as the Blue Palace in the city center, turned off the ultra-thin light screen on the wall, held a glass of scarlet wine, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the foot of the transparent curtain wall. of all beings.

What he pondered was that in Shangjing District, there must be many gods and human beings in the more than 300 countries in the world, just like him, who saw the video footage that his subordinates just forwarded to him.

Wano country?

Humans are some troublesome and dirty bugs.

That Captain Dragonfly?

What kind of shit role-playing game?

He took a sip of the wine and tried to convince himself to remain calm and not let his inner anger dominate his nervous brain.

Because Senator Hope knows, as the latest member of the House of Lords of the aristocracy today.

His enemies are not only those humans who see themselves as brutal aliens, but also those celestial families who are watching everything from the dark.

For example, the tall building more than a dozen kilometers to the south of the Sigmund Trading Company Building, which is closer to the center of Shangjing, the World Bank headquarters, and the old fox of the Bart family on the top floor of the bank building, and the one that was placed in his own place a few years ago. Chess pieces around.

He knew all this very well in his heart, but the chess game of the big men obviously couldn't lift the table. As a newcomer, he could only try to keep up with the steps of the big men, and then put the chess piece into the country of Wano, but he didn't expect that lead to such an operational accident.

Congressman Hope took a sip of his drink, his face lost in thought.

The Nine Great Masters of Heaven and Man withdrew from the world stage in the human revolution a hundred years ago - although Hope has always felt that that revolution forced the Nine Great Masters to withdraw from the stage of history, there are some unknown tricks behind.

But it is undeniable that since then, the Celestial Clan will make concessions to a certain extent in various matters facing human beings in the past 100 years, and try not to cause the pressure of the world public opinion on the Celestial Clan. This has gradually become a There is a certain consensus at the top of the aristocracy.

then yourself

Do you have to give in again?

Representative Hope's amber vertical pupils flashed with unusual brilliance. After a moment of contemplation, he walked to the desk and dialed the number of a minister in the Wano country cabinet.

It's okay to back down.

But as a successful businessman, apparent concessions are often made to clear more obstacles.

Including the guy under the dark golden dragonfly mask, who dares to try to provoke the majesty of this new councilor.

There is only one dead end!

After hanging up the phone, Senator Hope raised his head and drank the drink in the glass.

The next day, November 22.

Wano Country Labor Thanksgiving Day.

Early this morning, the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department was blocked by a large group of reporters. Every person who walked out would be chased and blocked by countless media reporters.

In the conference room at the top of the Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Building, the heads of various important departments, including the Security Department, the Traffic Department, the Criminal Department, and the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, were sitting around the conference table with nervous expressions on this rare national holiday. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can still hear the noise of reporters outside.

At the top of the conference table, Shin Takagi, the only head of the Metropolitan Police Department wearing a brochure, glanced at Masahiro Tsukada, who was sitting in the corner of the conference table, the acting leader of the first division of the third investigation team, and said slowly:

Who disclosed those two videos to the media, now it's pointless to investigate, what we have to do now is how to deal with these messes in front of us, the good news is that the foreign minister called today and expressed his determination and agreed with us to deal with it. Sigmund's celestial staff in Wano country and seize the office building of Sigmund's new Tokyo branch in Ota Ward and all other properties.

Having said that, Takagi Shen paused and continued:

But Kamiya Takanosuke, the captain of the second division of the Dragon Pirates of Sakamoto, who was captured together, will also publicly execute the death trial on the Rising Sun Artificial Island in the East China Sea to the world as an example.

Public execution?

The expressions of the ministers of various departments present became a little subtle.

Perhaps different from other countries' attitudes towards pirates, Wano has always been relatively tolerant to the Dragon of Sakamoto pirate group, one of the two pirate forces in the East China Sea adjacent to the waters - not only are these pirates sometimes or Intentionally or unintentionally, they will help some governments, and more importantly, the ancestors of these pirates were the repressed people in Wano who fought against the invasion of heaven and man a thousand years ago.

If that war was won, then they would undoubtedly be descendants of the heroes of the world. It is a pity that the king and the loser were defeated. The high-level human beings and the gods finally reached a compromise plan, and they could only live in the sea.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the Metropolitan Police rarely target members of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates as long as they are not too much at sea.

But this time.

It was a death sentence.

There are no fools who can sit at this conference table today, and someone quickly thinks of the trading ships that the Sigmund Trading Company has frequently looted in the East China Sea in recent years - the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates are the largest of them. A force suddenly realized in his heart that the so-called determination of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Cabinet was just a cover for a secret deal.

The building of Sigmund's branch office in Tokyo and all properties in New Tokyo were seized, and all the employees of the company were sent to the Prosecutor's Office for trial, which seemed to calm the outrage of the public.

But how can heaven be sentenced to death?

Maybe it won't be long before another company under the banner of the Tungemund trading company will appear in Wano country doing the same thing, and the Sigmund company has used this to deter the pirates in the East China Sea.

Do not!

More than just awe!

In the corner of the conference table, Tsukada Masaru of the first team quickly smelled an unusual meaning.

If the death trial is to be executed, where can't it be executed in Wano country? Why did you choose the artificial island in the East China Sea? The East China Sea is the home base of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates.

Those pirates, the descendants of those who fought against the barbarians thousands of years ago, would watch the cadres on their ships be executed? There is also the man on the Dragon Boat of Sakamoto who is called the strongest swordsman in the East China Sea in this era.

After getting on his boat and having a glass of wine with him, will he watch the other side be executed in the East China Sea under his own eyes?

Tsukada Zheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, frowned, and wanted to say something.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from downstairs.

Everyone looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the conference room, and suddenly found that the street on the west side of the Metropolitan Police Department had been crowded with crowds of parades. The direction of the building rushed over.

The chief of the conference table, Shin Takagi's face sank, and he spoke very quickly:

That's it! The captured pirates will be executed at the beginning of next month! Now! Everyone! Immediately start to seize all Sigmund's properties in New Tokyo, and we have to explain to the people!

Yes!

Everyone nodded yes.

Tsukada was stunned and sighed inwardly.

The headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Building.

Morita Takuya was wearing plain clothes and sunglasses, holding a stack of files and videotapes in his arms. He glanced at the reporter who was surrounded by the main entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department. go out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, several reporters who were squatting on the marble steps to eat breakfast rushed up to stop him like wild dogs seeing bones.

Mr. Police. Someone came up with a microphone.

I'm not a policeman Morita Takuya was shocked, and quickly waved his hands to cover his face.

The reporter immediately laughed and said, You really know how to joke, you look like a policeman.

Huh? Morita Takuya was stunned.

Another reporter next to him came up and interjected, Hey, it's not a shady policeman, who wears sunglasses when going out in this weather and is so tightly wrapped.

. Morita Taku.

This makes so much sense!

Okay, what's the problem with you?

What will the Metropolitan Police do to deal with this case of missing persons and human trafficking?

This. I don't know yet, but I think it will definitely satisfy the public.

Really? If the people are still dissatisfied with the protests, will the Metropolitan Police continue to pay attention?

Morita Takuya wondered how I knew what the people above were thinking, but he laughed dryly, The New Tokyo Happiness Index is among the best in the world, and the law and order has always been good. This is not the case.

Before he could finish speaking, he found that some reporters at the door were no longer looking at him, but turned their heads one after another, their glowing eyes as if they had seen something fresh.

Morita Takuya glanced along the line of sight, and suddenly he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.

Under the gloomy sky, the streets on the west side of the Metropolitan Police Department had been silent for some time without the noise of the engines and whistles of the vehicles, replaced by heavy footsteps.

Countless people rushed from the corner of the street with signs and banners such as Severely punish the murderers behind the scenes, Human life is very important, and We are also interested in justice. They approached the Metropolitan Police Department. In front of the headquarters building.

Morita Takuma recovered from the shock, and while he was not paying attention, he quickly trotted to the street with the file and the video tape, and got into a grayish silver van.

A Tuo! Master did not see you wrong!

As soon as I got in the car and sat in the co-pilot, I heard that irritating voice that made my teeth hurt.

The last time! I said it! The last time! Morita Takuya stared vigilantly at the bearded Satoru Aragaki with a pipe in his mouth, and tightly covered it when he took out the dossier and the videotape from his arms.

Of course! Next time it must be... err! I mean I won't bother you next time. Aragaki Satoru raised his hand with a smile, and the latter handed over the file to the other party weakly.

However, when he turned his head, Morita Takuya was taken aback. There were actually two people sitting in the back seat of the van.

In addition to meeting a high school student who was called my own by Satoru Aragaki last week, there was actually a strange girl with short silver hair in a hoodie!

I'm sorry!

This special shot is said to be carried out in secret? !

Aragaki Satoru glanced at the dossier and noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, so he quickly explained, Don't worry! Charlie-chan is also her own, a new employee of the detective agency.

New employee? Morita Takuya was taken aback.

Is your detective agency still able to recruit people? He glanced at the silver short-haired girl in the back seat, and Charlie showed him a straightforward and lovely smile very familiarly.

don't say,

Pretty.

It doesn't look blind.

Higashinohara in the back seat glanced at the protesters at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department. Today was supposed to be a holiday. When he went upstairs after exercising early in the morning, he was attracted by the part-time condition offered by Satoru Aragaki—accompanying him to handle this commission, Another half-month rent reduction.

Then it means that considering the extramarital affairs investigation last week, Higashinohara will not have to pay rent at the end of next month, and the money saved may be able to go to the cold weapon store to pick up two small swords.

Moreover, Ryuka Lumu firmly believed that her mother did not commit suicide, which also made Higashinohara a little curious. If there is really any problem, if you find the murderer, maybe you can get a guilt value - Higashinohara, who has tasted the sweetness, is very Difficult to be moved.

In this world where there are various hidden dangers, he also urgently needs to improve his strength, so he will follow after today's rest.

In the front seat, Satoru Aragaki mocked that the Metropolitan Police Department was hiding in the building facing the parade, and he had already put the surveillance tape of that intersection into the car video recorder to play.

Morita Takuya next to him shook his head and said:

This case is about to be closed. If you want to make money, I advise you not to bother. I have read the file. The intersection of the railroad and the tram in Mubetsu is a famous accident-prone place in recent years. There are once or twice a year. Suicide cases, I also brought the videos from previous years for you to watch.

You are not aware of the suicide siphon effect in our country. It may become a suicide resort in a few years. The municipal department is even preparing to re-plan the railway in that section.

Hearing Morita Takuya's nagging, Higashinohara also pulled his gaze out of the window and stared at the car video recorder in front of him.

In the not very clear picture, a woman with a vegetable basket suddenly wore a relieved smile while waiting at the intersection, looking straight ahead and crossed the life-and-death guardrail.

clang clang-!

The next moment, the tram whizzed past, and there were terrified shouts around.

No matter how you look at it, this is the most common of the more than 300 suicide cases in New Tokyo each year, although it does not occur at the peak period.

Every spring break, winter break, and summer break in Wano Country, many students worry that they will be excluded and bullied at school and become the peak suicide period. Another peak period is when New Tokyo enters the rainy season in May. High-intensity work stress increases the possibility of office workers jumping off the rails.

Aragaki Satoru didn't notice anything wrong, he pressed down to scroll down, and the video tape quickly played the suicide video of the railroad crossing in Kubetsucho in recent years.

The suicide time ranged from morning to noon and evening. The suicide crowd included the elderly, young people, office workers and housewives. When committing suicide, some smiled, some looked sad, and some looked crazy.

All in all, it fits well with big data suicide statistics and has nothing in common.

That's a little tricky.

Ten minutes later, Satoru Aragaki couldn't help but sighed and raised his hand to turn off the car video recorder.

Please wait.

Suddenly, Higashinohara in the back seat of the van spoke up.

Aragaki Satoru and the co-pilot Morita Takuya turned to look at him at the same time, and the light in Higashinohara's pupils flashed away.

He leaned forward slightly and pointed to the car video recorder next to the front rearview mirror, which showed two blurred-faced pedestrians waiting at the intersection at the time of the suicide.

Those two,

In the suicide videos from last year and the year before,

also appeared.
