In front of the conference table in the conference room, a man wearing a pair of black leather gloves with sharp eyes like an eagle spoke slowly.
His sitting posture is standard and impartial, his brows are like two thin swords hanging at his waist, and his whole body exudes a sense of toughness and uprightness, like an emotionless judge.
It is no surprise that there are adjudicators and judges of such temperament in the Judgment Division. The person in front of him is naturally Mick Gioia, the leader of the special investigation team for the murder of Senator Hope.
To be honest, in the recent horrific incidents in New Tokyo, those lawless criminals would blatantly wear those dark golden dragonfly masks every time they started to act.
Once...twice...three times...
In this way, even the dullest person should have enough associations in their mind. After all, the intention behind these incidents seems to coincide with the special operations investigation team of the Adjudication Division that has landed in New Tokyo. It is even essentially an investigation.
It's just that their "investigation method" is even more terrifying and insane... almost no normal person would ever think of such an investigation method.
But what if it were replaced by a heavenly being?
Someone in history once said: When heavenly beings come to this world, dirty blood flows through every vein in their bodies, so nothing they do should be surprising.
What's more, the purpose of what those pirates did was so similar to the airborne special operations investigation team from the Judgment Division in front of them, which was to find the man who killed Congressman Hope.
Are the two really not related at all?
However at this moment,
Mick Gioia was working meticulously at the front, letting everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department cast different eyes on him, the head of the investigation team who had landed in New Tokyo by air, without any change in his expression.
There are also those celestial councilors in this city who are indifferent to mood and anger, but they are far from being as straightforward as the mixed-race judge of the Adjudication Department in front of them. They are as responsible as a cedar on an iceberg.
The chilling meaning of the southeast and northwest winds.
The first person on the right side of the conference table is Tsukada Masaru, the captain of the first division of the New Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's third investigation team. If Captain Tokugawa is not here, he is the third investigation team's speech in this investigation.
people.
After hearing Mick Gioia's words, Tsukada nodded, "Yes, but those people's actions did not succeed this time. According to the high school couple who reported the crime, someone showed up in time to save them.
The other person seemed to be wearing a mask."
"Is there any surveillance video?" Mick Gioia asked.
Tsukada hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally, there was one, but it was destroyed during the attack. There are only blurry scenes of the two men wearing dragonfly masks committing the crime. As for how they died...no one
Know."
Mick Gioia pondered for a moment and asked again, "Is it possible that the person who took action was our target this time, the man who calls himself the Discipline Committee member, or the 'Captain Dragonfly'?"
After he finished speaking, Tsukada Masaru hadn't spoken yet. Not far away, Tsukasa Sugita nodded and said, "I don't rule out this possibility, but I think this kind of thing happens in New Tokyo. No one with a righteous mind can do it."
I will stand by and watch.”
Mick Gioia looked at Sugita Tsukasa. He had some impression of this young man and he had the same temperament as him.
However, after hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Having ideas and having abilities are two different things. Those pirates are at least sixth level in strength. Can you easily encounter a sixth level superpower on the streets of New Tokyo?"
There is a bit of contempt in this statement.
But everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department was unable to refute.
Wano Country is not a country as powerful as the Saint Malo Empire or the United States of Tagos, nor can it compare to the Kyoto metropolitan area where the Celestial World Government is located.
In the country of Wano, the sixth level can already serve as the top-ranking captain of the third investigation team, not to mention that the two pirates in tonight's accident were completely suppressed from all sides and were killed.
.
Masters are actually not common among the people.
Abilities are often accompanied by power and status. Almost all espers with that kind of ability in Wano are in high-level positions. This is why the appearance of Captain Dragonfly, whose identity is unknown but whose strength is unfathomable, caused such a sensation in the city.
reason.
"Anyway, it seems...those people have achieved their goal. The person who killed Representative Hope may have appeared last night."
Mick Gioia said calmly, "But so many innocent people have been sacrificed. This is not good news for us..."
Having said this, Mick Gioia paused, and his eyes calmly swept across the mixed reactions of everyone, "Then there is only one way in front of us now, to catch the murderer who assassinated Senator Hope... hurry up.
Before those pirates make any more terrorist attacks."
End of the meeting.
Mile Gioia took the lead to leave.
The captains of the remaining twelve divisions present had different expressions on their faces.
They noticed that Mick Gioia seemed to be extremely disgusted with those pirates in his tone. Maybe they were not in the same group, but he also really wanted to catch the murderer who assassinated Senator Hope.
Sitting at the end of the conference table, Tsukasa Sugita glanced at the empty seat on the right where the captain of the fifth division, Hakutaku Kimura, could not help but frown.
If he remembers correctly,
This should be the fifth time the other party has missed the meeting.
are you sick?
...
Just when the Metropolitan Police Department was having a meeting.
At Takehara Minami Private Academy, Higashinohara, a first-year class F, is also having a morning meeting, but the theme of their meeting is not so heavy, and the focus is on the upcoming Snow Festival next week.
The Ice and Snow Festival is a winter festival that is open to the public every year at Takehara Minami Private Academy. It is the most grand event of the year in the academy, second only to the [New Tokyo Academy Power Battle] held in Koshien in the summer.
In comparison, the nature of the latter's activities is more competitive.
The Ice and Snow Festival is more exhibition-oriented.
On the day of the annual Ice and Snow Festival, classes and clubs hold different demonstrations of abilities and learning achievements, performances and competitions. Many parents of students will come to the academy to participate in this festival.
Speaking of which, most of the people who attend Takehara Minami Private Academy, except those from Hokkaido such as Higashinohara, are rich locals in New Tokyo. It is said that on that day every year, the luxury cars in the parking lot of the academy are not much different from those at the car show.
.
The atmosphere of this class meeting is very relaxed, and the class is noisy. The temporarily formed Ice and Snow Festival Class Committee organizes a vote on the stage to discuss what program to perform this time, so that the repeater class of Class F, the first year, can show its face in the academy.
These things have nothing to do with Higashinohara originally. Once they come up with the results of their discussion, he can just make his presence felt.
But the people in the first-year class F class committee now regard Higashinohara, who "defeated the head of the orientation department of the Trinity Society and refused the invitation from the Trinity Society," as the number one in the first-year class F.
Let's ask for his opinion.
There is no way, from the perspective of the school's strength supremacy, Class F in the first year is at the bottom of the entire school.
In an event like a school festival to express oneself, if they want their parents who come to school to participate in the festival to be less embarrassed in front of other parents, they can only "pick out the general from the dwarf" and take out Higashinohara as a class card
Meet.
At the very least, Higashinohara performed exceptionally well in the class display or performance competition of the Ice and Snow Festival. As classmates in the repeater class, they can agree that they are "not bad" either.
After dealing with these inexplicable things, Higashinohara, who gained new abilities last night, once again immersed his consciousness in the "Guilty Manual" and looked at his attribute panel.
