Chapter 150 Officer Chen Starts To Feel Hopeless
"The Fujiwara Family Mansion?" Chen Huijie frowned. She was not familiar with the situation in Tokyo and turned to Kirigiri Shimizu.
"It's a political family that has existed since the Asuka period," Kirigiri Shimizu said. She was not interested in politics, but her identity meant she often came into contact with high-ranking officials: "Fujiwara Mieko is a popular candidate for the next Deputy Prime Minister."
"Deputy Prime Minister?" Chen Huijie frowned. The mission was more troublesome than she had imagined. With officials at this level, the security forces would definitely be strong.
At the same time, not far from the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, there was a large area of antique buildings.
During the Shogunate era, the daimyos from various places in Tokyo would come to reside in Kyoto for a month to show respect to the emperor.
These antique buildings had been demolished and repaired, with only one in ten remaining. Most of the people living here now were political families formed after the war.
The Fujiwara family was located in the middle of these buildings.
Fujiwara Mieko was in a very bad mood because the assassins sent to carry out the mission not only failed, but were also completely wiped out outside.
"Madam," said the tall man in a black suit, standing straight.
"Ichiro, help me massage my shoulders," Fujiwara Mieko leaned back on the sofa, closing her eyes.
Ichiro's expression remained unchanged as he walked behind Fujiwara Mieko and placed his hands on her shoulders, starting to massage gently.
He had a strong build, rough palms, but his technique was exceptionally gentle.
"Ichiro, how many years have you been with me?" Fujiwara Mieko asked softly.
"Fifteen years and three months," Ichiro's tone had no fluctuations, speaking concisely without any extra words.
"It's been so many years," Fujiwara Mieko's voice was light, seemingly filled with emotion:
"I said back then that I would change this country. In next month's election, I will become the Deputy Prime Minister, and then the Prime Minister. I will change this country. The government should not be controlled by the established classes."
Ichiro remained silent, continuing to massage with his hands.
"The Special Affairs Bureau is the old guard's weapon. By wiping out the Bamboo Unin, they are sending a warning to me."
Fujiwara Mieko seemed to be talking to Ichiro, but it also sounded like she was talking to herself.
"Blaming a fugitive who disappeared decades ago, what a ridiculous excuse."
"They can destroy the Bamboo Union, they can assassinate me, but so what? This is the path I've chosen, to make this country strong. I'm willing to use any dirty means."
She finished speaking and felt her shoulders and palms stop.
"I will protect you, madam," said Ichiro in a voice devoid of any expression.
In the special bureau, Komachi Kurenai was on the phone with Kirigiri Shimizu.
"Captain, according to your investigation, the Fujiwara family is indeed suspicious. In yesterday's Bamboo Union attack, it was the high-ranking members of the Fujiwara faction who ordered the police to seal off the experimental building."
Using the speakerphone, Kirigiri Shimizu's words were clearly heard by Chen Huijie as well.
"What is the relationship between the Bamboo Union and the Fujiwara family?"
She was more concerned about the Bamboo Union-related intelligence than the sealing off of the experimental building from yesterday.
She had spent months and countless senior officers sacrificed to finally find evidence of the Bamboo Union's illegal drug trafficking, intending to start arresting them.
But before she could take action, the entire Bamboo Union disappeared, unable to personally avenge those fallen seniors. She felt a strange mix of emotions.
When Komachi Kurenai heard Chen Huijie's voice, she thought of the captain's orders and spoke truthfully:
"The Bamboo Union is a partner of the Fujiwara family, providing a large amount of tribute money to the Fujiwara clan every year.
Fujiwara Mieko uses this money for political activities, propaganda, and so on."
At this point, Komachi Kurenai hesitated for a moment, speaking with uncertainty: "Engaging in charitable activities, helping single-parent families, improving the education environment. These actions have earned her a great deal of respect and made her a popular candidate for the next vice minister."
"Her political position is to break the existing seniority phenomenon in Tokyo, and she has very high support among young people."
Chen Huijie was puzzled after listening, her face full of question marks. Using money from illegal drug deals for charity? This is quite confusing for her.
For a moment, Chen Huijie looked at the phone, not knowing what to say.
Seeing no response from the other end, Komachi Kurenai continued: "The Fujiwara family's topographic map and information have been sent to your phone."
"Okay." Kirigiri Shimizu was not affected in the slightest, hung up the phone, and turned to leave.
"You're not going to call Mizusawa Ryo?" Chen Huijie pointed to the system interface, the name of her son's line, in her view, system holders were all companions.
"She left ten minutes ago," Kirigiri Shimizu said coldly.
The moment she found out that Mizusawa Ryo was also a system holder, she understood everything about grinding tofu several times a day, the posture, the duration, and what to use to grind it.
"Oh," Chen Huijie didn't think much more and followed Kirigiri Shimizu.
The Fujiwara family's mansion was not a secret location, it could even be found on the map.
The two traveled by car to the outside of the yard, and it wasn't as heavily guarded as they had imagined.
Chen Huijie didn't see any patrolling guards on the outer wall.
"No, there are too many cameras," Chen Huijie hid in the shadows, pointing to the wall.
There were over ten visible ones, not to mention how many hidden pinhole cameras there were in the dark.
Those agile secret agents in movies who can run on walls and rooftops are deceiving people.
This isn't ancient times, where you could go unnoticed with your extraordinary skills. A tiny pinhole camera can capture you crystal clear.
Chen Huijie opened the panel and glanced at the mission description.
"Mission objective: Infiltrate the Fujiwara family mansion within two hours."
"Mission requirement: No witnesses present at the time of mission settlement."
With so many cameras watching, every move they make can be seen clearly. Infiltration is a joke.
Kirigiri Shimizu carefully examined the cameras, then without further hesitation, turned and got into the car.
"Are we giving up on the mission?" Chen Huijie took the passenger seat. If there's no hope of completion, giving up is a wise choice. This is just the first step, conserving energy and waiting for the next mission is also a strategy.
Moreover, the system's penalties are not severe, and she has already grown divine root, so growing a bit more won't hurt.
Right now, Chen Huijie is just pretending to be incompetent.
Kirigiri Shimizu remained silent, started the sedan, and began circling the area.
The sedan finally stopped at a corner of the Fujiwara mansion.
Chen Huijie squinted her eyes. Her observation skills were strong, with just one glance, she took in the surroundings.
There was nothing particularly special about this location. There were still several cameras on the wall, but they were facing inside the wall.
Kirigiri Shimizu stopped the car and pulled out a mask, handing it over. Then she got out of the car and opened the trunk.
Chen Huijie put on the mask and followed behind. When he saw the trunk, a corner of his mouth twitched. Burlap sack, wooden stick, duct tape, handcuffs. This cold and beautiful woman seemed a bit wild.
Kirigiri Shimizu picked up a can of gasoline from the trunk and walked towards the Fujiwara mansion.
