Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 73 Fallacies

"The Immigration Bureau has detected attempts to delay and is looking for a suitable target to exert pressure on..."

Just by seeing the hint, Nakajima Hiroshi could already guess the general situation.

This system does indeed drive people to handle this matter, and yet it still manages to run into obstacles.

In other words, the brainwashed old lady had very limited control over this current supervisor.

This is quite normal. The local culture is different from our hometown, and there is a unique view that encourages the elderly to die young.

Even if the leader changes from accepting money to doing things to wanting to delay, it's mostly due to pressure from the town councilor.

This town councilor is roughly equivalent to a township Dalit representative.

Although he doesn't have much real power in this matter, as one of the smallest politicians, he must have a team supporting him and a chain of interests behind him.

Considering the earlier attempt to contact the Minister of Justice, who clearly didn't take the system seriously at all...

In other words, it also has certain limits.

Immigration Bureau.

The leader did change his tune; after all, the congressman's secretary was right there, so he had to give him some face.

"In Nakajima Hiroshi's case, there are indeed some special factors that require extremely careful consideration."

He carefully considered every word.

"Another domestic violence case involving him is still ongoing, due to some complex and special circumstances..."

"...Considering public perception, we will classify it as a case requiring comprehensive evaluation."

As the leader spoke, he winked at the councilor's secretary, indicating that there was more to the story.

Moreover, we definitely can't talk about this in front of that shameless jerk of a reporter and these old folks.

"The specific circumstances aren't entirely without room for negotiation..."

The congressman's secretary frowned slightly.

Although I don't know why my boss is so obsessed with an unimportant illegal resident, bringing such a person back would be a terrible outcome.

However, within the system, everyone still needs to look out for each other.

He started to try to smooth things over.

"How about this, please arrange for the elderly person to rest first."

"Let's examine what problems Nakajima Hiroshi has before we can communicate with him further, what do you think?"

Although people in Tokyo don't usually ask others for favors like this, this suggestion isn't about asking for help, but rather about giving the leader a way out.

Therefore, the other party also showed a grateful expression.

Just then, the service bell rang, and they quickly helped the two elderly people out, who walked out shakily.

The reporters at the entrance immediately pointed their cameras at the leader.

The elderly men and women also quickly got up and gathered around in circles.

But once they're in the camera's view, they immediately put on a pained expression and stare at themselves with trembling eyes.

No?

I have surveillance cameras here too!

Even if you're putting pressure on us maliciously, at least show some professionalism!

They're not even going to act anymore!

Perhaps the elderly people weren't familiar with the procedures, or perhaps the system felt the focus wasn't on them; in any case...

This is the situation.

After forcing a smile and settling the elderly person in, the leader and the councilor's secretary returned to their office, then slumped back onto the sofa without any regard for their image.

"What have I done to offend the congressman?"

The leader's tone was very displeased.

There is no superior-subordinate relationship between them, and they have even had some contact before, so there's no need to beat around the bush.

"No, I also feel that this is very abrupt."

The congressman's secretary spoke the truth.

"But since I'm here on orders from my superior, I need to bring back a satisfactory explanation. What do you think..."

"This is not a good situation."

The leader divided the materials into three parts and made it clear.

"These are the whistleblower materials that Nakajima Hiroshi has received so far."

"Including evidence of his illegal stay, evidence of his unauthorized involvement in the brokerage industry, and some minor supporting documents."

The congressman's secretary glanced through the evidence casually; if it were just this much evidence, it would be easy to handle.

"These two are the troublesome ones."

The leader presented one of the documents and explained.

"This concerns Hiroshi Nakajima's involvement in the sex industry during his illegal stay."

"They only provided these materials, but there was no real report. Perhaps they were just telling me that if I violated regulations, they could push for prosecution."

"If this comes to light and I get involved, I'll be in a very passive position."

The congressman's secretary glanced at his boss.

This is practically tantamount to openly admitting that he has already received the money.

Normally, if he had obtained such evidence from Nakajima Hiroshi, he could have simply handed it over to the prosecution, thus reducing his workload, and there would have been no need to get entangled in it.

"What are the whistleblower's demands?"

"Expel Nakajima Hiroshi."

The actual intention was to "expel Nakajima Hiroshi as quickly as possible," but there was no need to say it outright.

"What about the remaining document?"

The congressman's secretary looked at the last stack of thin documents.

"This is proof that Nakajima Hiroshi attempted to instigate bribery and forged his identity."

Honestly, the boss felt this was very strange.

As the head of the local immigration bureau, how come I didn't know there was such a chain that could resolve residency status?

Aside from the initial teahouse, which he knew somewhat and did handle some less respectable business, he had absolutely no recollection of the other two.

Moreover, this Songye Ichiban (松叶一番) is not from their own channels at all.

Most of the bribes they handled involved labor disputes and fire safety, which are business practices that align with the environment of Arakawa Ward.

Even if such evidence were to reach me, it would be rejected without intervention from other important figures.

but……

Seeing that the town councilor had inexplicably made a move, the leader felt that Nakajima Hiroshi might actually have someone protecting him.

However, the congressman's secretary's expression darkened slightly upon seeing the evidence.

the reason is simple.

This teahouse is part of their supply chain.

Town councilors, as politicians, often begin by connecting with these things; only when the interests are deeply intertwined can the two sides engage in some form of cooperation.

He seemed to instantly understand why his superior was paying attention to this matter; it turned out that Nakajima Hiroshi was someone they had protected!

Observing the reaction of the congressman's secretary, the leader secretly made a judgment in his mind.

So Nakajima Hiroshi was one of your people.

That's not surprising!

In this way, I can sit back and watch the show, and see who is stronger, the town councilor or this Kuroda Karito.

Of course, both of them made mistakes due to insufficient information.

The system chose to put pressure on this guy simply because, based on the real-world situation, it opted for the reward-achieving method with the fewest steps.

The reason the town councilor was dragged into this was because Nakajima Hiroshi happened to have a piece of fake evidence in Kuroda's hands. If this was used incorrectly, it would be fatal to the enemy, so it would save a lot of trouble.

As for whether it will cause any misunderstandings or leave any hidden dangers, that's none of the system's business.

Its only concern is securing Nakajima Hiro's legal status.

at the same time.

Nakajima Hiroshi also received a notification.

"The path to the reward has been completed. Please wait patiently, host..."

What did you adjust?

What did you encounter?

Nakajima Hiroshi was filled with confusion.

He had been staring at the playground for quite a while.

The reason he cared so much about this was because Nakajima Hiroya had realized the problems with the system.

Since it achieves its goals through concrete actions, will those affected during this period suffer from inexplicable amnesia afterward, or will they retain an impression?

If it's the latter, then I might really need to figure out what happened behind the scenes.

Whether the intermediate nodes utilize space effectively, whether they might cause trouble, or whether they might leave hidden dangers are all details that cannot be ignored.

Sudden.

Misaki Tachibana's request for a meeting has been received.

She brought her lawyer and, using Asuka's domestic violence case as a pretext, questioned Nakajima Hiroshi, thus successfully arranging a meeting.

As for the actual content of the conversation and issues unrelated to the purpose, a little money can solve the problem.

As long as nothing goes wrong, the surveillance cameras can be broken.

"Nakajima, Asuka's business is very successful."

Misaki Tachibana got straight to the point.

"So, do you have any way to save yourself?"

"If not, you can organize your thoughts and see if there's anything you need to entrust to us."

"Also, could you briefly explain the operational strategy for the live stream, in case I really get deported..."

This woman is really practical.

Although Nakajima Hiroaki knew that a system was in charge, he still smiled helplessly and shared his ideas for the live stream with Tachibana Misaki.

After all, they don't know, so it's normal for them to be eager for a solution.

Everyone contributed a lot to the Asuka incident, so we must take their feelings seriously.

Besides, since there's nothing else we can do right now, we might as well lay the groundwork in advance.

If you manage to get out safely and smoothly, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.

When it comes to actually implementing it, explaining it in front of subordinates can be quite troublesome.

Once the rules of many industries are clearly explained, employees can easily fire you and go solo, or even become your competitors.

Ok.

The live streaming industry is one such example.
