"Good afternoon, everyone. I am Zhongshan Juni, the newly appointed Director of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters. Today, I have just taken office, and I am honored to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the people of Hokkaido. From now on, I will strive to maintain public order in Hokkaido and live up to the public’s trust."
"Next, I would like to invite the reporters to ask any questions they might have regarding the Mitsuo Mutou case. Thank you." As Zhongshan Juni finished speaking, she bowed calmly and composedly.
It was like casting a handful of fish food onto a calm surface of water; the splashes imdiately began to churn, as one fish after another leaped out in a frantic struggle for the feed.
"Director Zhongshan, informants have revealed that this morning’s massive deploynt of police was to close roads for your arrival. Is that true?"
"The police have tightened the net around Mitsuo Mutou’s actions, is it because they were reallocating officers to welco you that he managed to escape? Is that so?"
"Do you think the shooting of Mayor Miyashita by Mitsuo Mutou has anything to do with you..."
One confrontational and skeptical question after another was hurled at Zhongshan Juni.
Each one more pointed than the last.
Had it been a greenhorn facing the world for the first ti, they would likely already be sweating profusely and at a loss in the face of this onslaught.
But Zhongshan Juni, having been pushed up by n along the way, naturally had extraordinary resilience. Moreover, she was well prepared for this, so she answered so of the questions selectively without any sign of panic.
"The departnt did indeed deploy officers to close roads to welco , but I was not inford in advance."
"I’m deeply sorry about the shooting of Mayor Miyashita. Fortunately, he is not in critical danger, and Mitsuo Mutou has been arrested, which can be considered a stroke of luck amid the misfortune."
"To prevent such incidents, I will implent rigorous gun control throughout the entire prefecture, and intensify efforts to eradicate the influx of illegal firearms onto the market..."
"A bunch of sanctimonious nonsense; if you listen closely, it’s all dog fart." The next morning, a civilian watching Zhongshan Juni speaking on the news could not help but curse dismissively.
Hokkaido News: New Director Zhongshan Juni admits to redeploying police for road closures to welco her to the station, expressing regret over Mitsuo Mutou’s escape and the shooting of Mayor Miyashita...
Taking quotes out of context has always been a strong suit for the dia.
"Idiot, sending a woman here, how can she possibly manage Hokkaido’s security well? She’s just arrived and already caused trouble; this will be a disaster!"
"Exactly, would the headquarters even consider dispersing police forces to close roads to welco her if not for her request?"
"Reporters caught on cara—she scorned those who ca to greet her at the airport, refusing to get into the car until a large convoy had been gathered."
"Because of her, Mitsuo Mutou escaped the encirclent and wounded the mayor, and this old lady still has the nerve to speak at the press conference on the case!"
In just a day, Zhongshan Juni, the new director who had just arrived in Hokkaido, had already left a bad impression with all the citizens, questioning her competence.
While at work, Hashimoto Youko could feel the strange glances from other police officers directed at her and Zhongshan Juni; even though they were outwardly respectful, she could sense their deep-seated disdain and mockery, which frustrated her, leaving her no way to vent.
After following Zhongshan Juni into the office, Hashimoto Youko finally vented her discomfort, "Auntie, I think all the cops here in Hokkaido are cut from the sa cloth—completely rotten. Just look at those people’s expressions along the way; they were obviously laughing at us. Not one of them is any good."
She was at an age where she abhorred evil.
Like sobody ard with a hamr, seeing everyone as a nail.
"Isn’t that precisely because this place is rotten to the core that they sent here to be the director?" Zhongshan Juni said, sitting in her office chair with a nonchalant response, and she added, "Moreover, their understanding of is limited to the news reports, and at present, all the dia coverage of is negative, so it’s natural for them to have a negative view of ."
"But, Auntie, they..."
"Knock knock knock!"
Hashimoto Youko wanted to say more but was interrupted by the abrupt knocking at the door, swallowing her words.
"Co in," Zhongshan Juni called out loudly.
Aoyama Xiu Xin entered, holding a newspaper with a dark expression, furiously tossing it onto the desk and rebuking, "This is outrageous! The dia is writing nonsense! They’ll stop at nothing for attention, for sales! Director Zhongshan, you mustn’t take it to heart; it’s not worth damaging your health over."
Hashimoto Youko clenched her fists; this bastard seed to be expressing solidarity, but in reality, he was there to deliberately aggravate Aunt Zhongshan in person, a despicable and shaless villain.
Wasn’t the dia chaos a result of your machinations behind the scenes?
Crying over spilled milk while feigning compassion.
"Thank you, Minister Aoyama, for your concern. I’ve lived through rough tis in my life; I’m not so fragile as to be easily upset by this. Rest assured, I won’t take these rumors seriously," Zhongshan Juni said with a hearty laugh, full of openness, and even picked up Aoyama Xiu Xin’s newspaper to glance at it, "I’m getting old; I’m not photogenic anymore!"
"Indeed, it was an overreaction on my part. Director Zhongshan is a worldly person; it’s actually who is making too much fuss, prompting a laugh from you," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a sheepish smile, then continued, "By the way, Deputy Director Yamashita has made arrangents regarding the assignnts of your three staff mbers. Please check if it’s suitable for you, and if not, there’s still ti to make changes."
"Please go ahead," prompted Zhongshan Juni, raising her hand for him to proceed.
