Chapter 311: Chapter 289: The Internet Security Department, true to its name, the unscrupulous politician"Director, you called for me."
Aoyama Xiu Xin pushed open the door to the director’s office.
Upon entering, he found that, apart from Renping Kuniaki, there were two strangers, a man and a woman.
The man appeared to be around thirty, not taller than 175 cm, in a black suit, with a side-parted hairstyle, fair skin, glasses, and meticulously dressed, presenting a prim and proper appearance.
The woman looked to be just over twenty, but that was probably because of her youthful face; in reality, she was older. Her face, the size of a palm, was adorned with a pair of slightly goofy-looking black-framed glasses. Her small nose and rosy lips complemented her watery, large eyes, which reflected a sense of clear foolishness.
But upon evaluating her figure, Aoyama Xiu Xin involuntarily gasped in surprise. Her slightly old-fashioned suit couldn’t hide her voluptuous and well-proportioned body, her ample bosom, and her round buttocks that stretched the fabric of her pants tightly and smoothly, with the outline of her underpants faintly visible.
Women are sensitive to the male gaze. She lowered her head more and more, her cheeks growing redder, her small hands clutching the edge of her pants and twisting them vigorously, her nervousness and shyness palpably intense, probably down to her tensely curled toes.
Cute, I’d like to bed her.
In bed, she must be the type to cover her face and whimper.
"Asakura Police Chief, I’ve heard much about you. I am Kikumura Hazuma, and I look forward to working with you," just then, the young man took the opportunity to introduce himself, stepping in front of the woman and bowing to Aoyama Xiu Xin.
With the view obstructed, Aoyama Xiu Xin could only regretfully withdraw his gaze and responded with a slight smile, "Hello."
"Xiu Xin, the budget and office space for the Internet Security Department have already been arranged, located on the fourth floor of the Police Headquarters. Police Chief Kikumura is your partner, and he is also an expert in this area," said Renping Kuniaki.
Aoyama Xiu Xin extended his hand, "The first section of the investigation is rather busy, so my work focus might be more on this side. The Internet Security Department is in its infancy and there are many busy tasks, I will have to trouble Police Chief Kikumura to take extra care."
One look at this guy, and you knew he was the real person in charge appointed by the higher-ups. His concurrent title as the head of the department was purely nominal, just to sound better when mentioned.
After all, he didn’t understand the technical side and the first investigation section was the busiest department of the Police Headquarters, he couldn’t afford to focus on the Internet Security Department, so the arrangement from the higher-ups was quite reasonable.
But reasonable as it was, he was irritated. Even if he was busy, for the sake of the citizens, he wouldn’t mind taking on more responsibility. He was determined not to be content with being just a nominal head of the Internet Security Department; he wanted real power!
"Of course, and it’s thanks to you, Asakura Police Chief, for your visionary proposition to establish the Internet Security Department, that I have found a place to work," responded Kikumura Hazuma, shaking Aoyama Xiu Xin’s hand, smiling and humble in tone.
"Then let’s work together to make this new department shine in maintaining social order," said Aoyama Xiu Xin, withdrawing his hand and glancing unintentionally at the dimwit, "And who might this be?"
Such a simple and silly girl he had not yet tried; driving her must indeed have a unique flair.
"She’s my junior, Asakura Yurong Police Chief, previously worked at the scientific re
After bowing, Aoyama Xiu Xin turned and left.
Upon leaving the Director’s office, he went straight to Asai Ayumi’s office, entered, and found Asai Ayumi watching television. The screen was showing a politician making a speech that captured his attention.
The politician, in his fifties with a receding hairline, slightly overweight, and with plump cheeks, stood on a makeshift stage in the street and spoke passionately into the microphone.
"What are our Japanese police good for besides wasting taxpayers’ money? Besides protecting their own power, they can’t protect anyone else!"
"In broad daylight, in this clear universe, ten lives were taken by armed criminals right on the street; they could threaten the safety of citizens’ lives and property at any moment, yet the police have made no progress thus far. Even the Police Chief Aoyama, known as Heisei’s No.1 Detective, hasn’t made any public response. We want safety! We want justice!"
His arm waved in the air, his voice loud and strained.
"Safety! Justice!"
The supporters below, with bands around their heads and holding banners, chanted back furiously, like a zealous congregation.
"Idiot! Who is this old fart?"
Aoyama Xiu Xin frowned as he asked.
Even he was subtly trampled on.
This must be the politician Renping Kuniaki was talking about, who was exploiting the bank robbery case to attack the police force’s incompetence in exchange for national sympathy and support rates.
Asai Ayumi replied, "Shimura Ao, a district councilor from Shinjuku, has gained massive public support by boldly speaking out against government inaction."
"Nothing but a demagogue, a clown. Let’s hope he never finds himself in need of the police," Aoyama Xiu Xin scoffed, sitting down heavily on the sofa.
"Politicians are clowns performing all sorts of ridiculous acts for the people before an election, but once the votes are cast, it’s the citizens who become the clowns," Asai Ayumi laughed, commented, turned off the television, walked over, and sat down in Aoyama Xiu Xin’s lap, hugging his neck, "What brings you here?"
"Not here for anything particular," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied, casually pinching her shapely buttocks, "I need you to find and set up a place for tonight. I’m treating the Internet Security Department to dinner, remember it has to be high-class. Don’t look for the most economical option; choose the most expensive one instead."
He wanted the Internet Security Department to feel his generosity and the importance he placed on them.
It’s cliche, but sometimes the amount of money spent really does reflect how much someone values others.
"Has the Internet Security Department arrived in full?" Asai Ayumi asked in surprise at first, and then, "Am I going too?"
Aoyama Xiu Xin thought of Asakura Yurong and answered without changing his expression, "Tonight is the Internet Security Department’s first internal dinner. You’re not part of that department; why would you go? It’s not really appropriate, we can talk about it another time."
"Alright then," Asai Ayumi responded nonchalantly.
Aoyama Xiu Xin pecked her on the lips and then let go, "I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be going now."
He needed to contact Nozaki Cangjian. It wouldn’t do to just keep waiting for the Russians to make a move.
This case was too big to be delayed.
The longer it dragged on, the less likely the public would forget it, only accumulating more resentment and indignation.
