Looking at the two people who were standing next to each other without considering the occasion, Nishiki Chitsugu said blankly:
"Now I don't believe a word of it when they say they didn't have an affair."
Inoue Takina next to him also looked hesitant:
"But from what I understand, they didn't know each other before yesterday, right?"
"He conquered the princess in one day...hiss~ so impressive...is this the strength of a minister?!"
"This has nothing to do with 'ministerial strength'!!"
Just when the two girls were performing crosstalk.
In an old apartment.
Megure Jusan, who was wearing a brown windbreaker, looked at the eight unconscious Phoenix Society members and could not help but exclaimed:
"With such a big gift, I'm afraid I'll be Megure's brother for the rest of my life, right?"
Chapter 223 Use all your strength!
Inside Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital.
In front of the intensive care unit.
The man, wearing a black suit, with a square face and a vertical scar on his right eye, looked heavily through the glass window at the patient who was still sleeping inside.
The patient in the ICU had a full beard and gray hair, an ugly scar on the right side of his cheek, and his hair was shaved bald because of the emergency treatment.
On the blue and white bed, the patient was breathing hard and weakly.
"Kuroda..."
Looking at his subordinate who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who was standing outside the glass window, couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Seeing Matsumoto Kiyonaga standing outside the window, some doctors and nurses passing by didn't even dare to breathe.
Normally, ordinary family members are not allowed to enter this intensive care unit, but unfortunately, the person who came was not an ordinary family member, but a high-ranking official of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Therefore, even the hospital director did not dare to say anything like "drive away" to the visitors, let alone ordinary doctors and nurses.
The doctors and nurses passing by were in a hurry, as if they had countless things to do.
"Begin recording the patient's condition."
"Vital signs are normal, breathing is normal..."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga watched the doctors and nurses busying themselves in silence, just watching in silence.
Just as Matsumoto Kiyonaga was looking at his severely injured old subordinate, a fat man with a chubby figure, wearing a brown suit and a windbreaker of the same color, walked quickly and quietly to Matsumoto Kiyonaga's side, and saluted:
"Captain Matsumoto, Megure Jusan is reporting in."
Seeing the old subordinate promoted by Kuroda Heibei coming, Matsumoto Kiyonaga just glanced at Megure Jusan and immediately asked:
"How's the situation?"
Megure Jusan's expression changed for a while after hearing this, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"According to the intelligence provided by Commander Luo Shu, we have indeed captured a group of Phoenix cult members, and are currently having them interrogated urgently."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga's expression did not change after hearing this, and he remained as gloomy as ever:
“When will the results be available?”
"Megure Jusan was speechless, then lowered his head and said: .... Sorry, Jusan can't guarantee it."
Hearing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga did not look at Megure Jusan, but said calmly:
"Thirteen, do you know why you have been stuck as a police inspector until now?"
Megure Jusan said with an unnatural expression: "Maybe it's because I'm not a graduate of the University of Tokyo, but was promoted from the front line?"
“That’s definitely one of the reasons.”
Matsumoto Kiyonaga did not deny the status of Tokyo University graduates in the Metropolitan Police Department, but this is not all he wants to say:
"Another reason is that you are too honest."
"Over the years, in order to solve the case, you have relied on the power of those detectives, from Kudo Yusaku in the past, and later Kudo Shinichi. In addition, there is the child of the Asuka family. I heard that even the child of the Todaiji family and even Hakuba Tan have helped you."
"Not to mention the children of our internal staff, you reported every detail of the cases solved by these detectives. Yes, you did not take the initiative to inform the media, but what was the result?"
"Thanks to the efforts of those media, the prestige of the Metropolitan Police Department has been destroyed, and the reputation of the detectives has been rising. Even the child of the Kudo family has been called the savior of the Metropolitan Police Department by the media?"
"Isn't this your responsibility?"
"Do you know how dissatisfied the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department are with you?"
"They would rather the real murderer go unpunished than have you rely on outsiders to solve the problem."
"If it wasn't for Kuroda, you would have gone to work for the traffic department long ago? It was Kuroda who protected you, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Megure Jusan lowered his head and said in a hurried voice:
"Yes, sir. I will always remember the kindness of Manager Kuroda!"
"Remember, that's good."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Megure Jusan calmly, and then said:
"When will we get intelligence on those cultists?"
Hearing this, Megure Jusan gritted his teeth and said immediately:
"I think that for absolutely detailed intelligence, I may need the assistance of Chief Luo Shu."
Just after his boss's boss told him not to rely on the power of others, he resorted to this trick. Megure Jusan knew the risks involved.
There is a high probability that he will be regarded as an incompetent subordinate, but if he pursues absolute efficiency, Megure Jusan is sure that Director Luo Shu of the special department definitely knows a lot of information about this attack.
Hearing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked deeply at Megure Jusan, staring at him so hard that cold sweat broke out on the latter's forehead.
Finally, Matsumoto Kiyonaga laughed:
"It seems that you understand the meaning of my previous words."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga raised his hand, patted Megure Jusan on the shoulder, and smiled a grin that looked like a grin:
"Thirteen, you must remember that there is nothing wrong with relying on the power of others, but the power you rely on must be the power within the Metropolitan Police Department."
"At least, we have to let the outside world think it's the Metropolitan Police Department's power."

Megure Juzo seemed to be thinking about something when he heard this. So, the reason why Chief Matsumoto didn't care about Hakuba Senpai, Asuka Daiki and Miss Todaiji Miyabi helping him solve the case? Because they were all children of people inside the Metropolitan Police Department?
Just when Megure Jusan realized something, Matsumoto Kiyonaga said with a gradually calm expression:
"The Metropolitan Police Department's management officer was attacked by a terrorist, and the murderer was not arrested for nearly eight hours. The senior officials expressed dissatisfaction with this."
"No matter what, the culprits who plotted the attack must be caught and sentenced to death!"
"In this case, the Metropolitan Police Department's 'all forces' can be mobilized."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga emphasized all his strength, then stared at Megure Jusan and said:
"Thirteen, since Commander Luo values you, then this matter will be handed over to you. You will temporarily take over Kuroda's job and solve this matter."
...... .... ....
"The Warriors will cooperate with you to pull those criminals out of the gutter and bring them to justice!"
As he spoke, Matsumoto Kiyonaga patted Megure Jusan on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Go and show your superiors what you are made of!"
Hearing this, Megure Jusan immediately bowed solemnly and said:
"I will definitely go all out!!"
A few minutes later, Megure Jusan walked out of the hospital gate with a complicated expression, looked back at the white hospital building, and muttered:
"Shinichi, Shinichi, it's not that Brother Megure won't take care of you anymore, but Commander Luo is more cost-effective..."
As he spoke, Megure Juzo glanced at Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako who were standing next to the police car in the parking lot, then he exhaled, raised his hand to hold down his hat, and strode forward.

LycoReco coffee shop.
Luo Shu looked at the notebook in front of him, then raised his head and said to Hu Tao beside him:
"Is this the information read out from Phoenix's tongue brain?"
"His 35 years of life have been organized here. Oh, in addition to this, there is also this white one that the princess gave me earlier..."
As Hu Tao spoke, he placed a golden thing that looked like a bird feather in front of Luo Shu, and then said:
"According to the princess's test, this should be the 'feather of a young Phoenix'."
When Luo Shu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, his expression amused:
"Young Phoenix?"
"This is interesting."
Chapter 224 Ask the professionals?
"What what? Phoenix feathers? Real or fake?"
When Nishiki Chitsuka heard the conversation between Luo Shu and Kurumi, she ran over in her clerk kimono and looked at the feather on the table with curiosity:
"Wow! It looks beautiful~ Phoenix, the legendary phoenix? It should be a very beautiful bird, right?"
"Qian Shu, the point is not whether the feathers are beautiful or not."
Inoue Takina, who had changed into a blue clerk kimono and tied her hair into twin ponytails, came over with one hand on her waist and said:
"The point is, a bishop has this kind of thing, and that's a big problem."
"Is it a personal hoard? Or is the Phoenix Society so wealthy that it has distributed Phoenix feathers to bishops? There is obviously a big problem here."
"It's a prop that was issued."
La Fulia changed into a black military-like uniform, walked out of the store with a smile, and came to Luo Shu:
"According to the bishop's memory, this 'Phoenix Feather' was a tool given to him by the regional bishop for preaching and was used to heal the diseases of believers."
"Hey!!" Jinmu Chitsuka was shocked when she heard this: "Does joining the church guarantee that illnesses will be cured? Are they so kind?"
"There should be serious side effects, right?" Inoue Takina speculated.
"No, there aren't any serious side effects. Apart from the fact that the feather needs to be watered with blood regularly and cannot cure cancer, it can only treat some basic diseases. There are no other side effects to this Phoenix feather."
"Of course, you can also use the blood of livestock. It can be considered an abyss item with very few side effects."
La Fulia said as she looked at Luo Shu who was looking through the computer data:
"Come to think of it, this feather seems to be a relatively good material among ordinary-grade ones. It can be used as the main material for some classes."
Nishiki Chitsugu was a little surprised to hear this:
"Such good things are actually distributed to the grassroots...Could it be that the top leaders of the Phoenix Church are good people?"
Inoue Takina's expression was solemn at this time: "Even this kind of treasure was distributed... It seems that this Phoenix cult is indeed very dangerous."
"After all, this gift cannot be without a price. The willingness to give up the young Phoenix's feathers means that the top leaders of the Phoenix Society have more plans."
"Just like this time, their followers launched a terrorist attack with their lives."
"So, behind those small favors, there is a plot against their lives?"
When Jinmu Chitose heard this, he suddenly realized: "A religion that truly displays extraordinary powers and deceives people into committing suicide...hiss, it feels really dangerous!"
As he spoke, Jinmu Qianshu turned around and looked at Luo Shu who was flipping through the documents. He put his hand on Luo Shu's shoulder and asked curiously:
"Hey, Luo Shu, is there any special information in the bishop's memory?"
"No, it's mostly normal stuff."
Luo Shu rested his right elbow on the table, with his thumb and index finger forming a bend to support his chin, thinking:
"I preach every seven days and cure minor illnesses of believers. Every three days, I go to a volunteer company and serve as a volunteer for free. In addition, I also work as a courier and hotel waiter."
