Tokyo Bubble Life

Maybe it was because she felt sleepy after getting pregnant, Akina was already asleep when Naoki Nagayama came back at night.

After washing up, Naoki Nagayama walked into the bedroom quietly, pushed the awakened dog aside, and warned it not to make any noise.
There was a warm yellow bedside lamp still on in the bedroom. The sleeping girl was lying on her side with her thin eyebrows wrinkled on her delicate face, as if she had something on her mind even while she was sleeping.

"Why do you look so worried even when you're asleep~"

Naoki Nagayama walked to the bed and gently stroked his girlfriend's brow, trying to smooth out the wrinkles, but Akina subconsciously reached out her hand and turned over, then hugged Naoki Nagayama's hand.
"."

For some reason, the two of them were sleeping in separate rooms. Naoki Nagayama came to the bedroom just to see Akina before going to bed, but who knew that he would be hugged now.
With a little effort, Naoki Nagayama found that Akina was still hugging him tightly.
Was it intentional?
I looked closer and saw that Akina's eyes were tightly closed, as if she was really asleep~
In this case, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to lift the quilt and get in, hugging his girlfriend's soft body and falling asleep~
A night without words~
At dawn, Akina was in a very good mood and started flirting with her boyfriend after getting up.

"Didn't we say we should sleep in separate rooms?" Akina leaned closer to Naoki Nagayama who was brushing his teeth, "Why is Naoki-san sleeping next to me again?"

"." Naoki Nagayama rolled his eyes. Who is holding my arm and not letting go?
"Come on~ why aren't you talking? Are you speechless?"

Akina Nakamori never tires of getting close to Naoki Nagayama, and her endless provocations made Naoki Nagayama, who had just brushed his teeth, unable to help but put his arms around Akina's waist and slapped the fleshy parts a few times. Only then did his girlfriend, with a blushing face, shut up.

Relying on the pregnancy, she is so arrogant and disrespectful to her husband. She should be severely punished!
The two of them prepared breakfast today, which consisted of Western bread, milk, fried eggs, bacon, and other items. Naoki Nagayama ate while reading the morning newspaper, but did not notice any special reports.

The entertainment section is still about certain stars going to nightclubs, certain idols releasing new songs, and certain artists' scandals being photographed. Nothing explosive at all, and I didn't see what Naoki Nagayama wanted to post last night. Maybe there wasn't enough time.

"Naoki-san~" Akina said while eating breakfast, "I have to choose a kimono tomorrow, so I want to pick up my mother and elder sister tonight."

"Well, that's more convenient." They were both very busy these days, and choosing a dress was not something that could be decided quickly. "Do you want me to arrange a car?"

"No need, Fang Ze-san will help." Akina shook her head and looked at Naoki Nagayama, "But for the night, let's stay at Yamazakurain~"

"Okay~" Naoki Nagayama naturally wouldn't refuse, "There are two empty bedrooms over there, but it seems that no one has ever lived there. Let's ask the housekeeping company to come and clean them in advance today~"

The second bedroom on my side is now occupied by Naoki Nagayama, so it cannot be used to entertain my future mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Yamazakurain has already hired a housekeeping company, which cleans the house once a week and maintains the scenery of the courtyard.

"Yes!" Mingcai nodded. Now all these were handled by the hostess.

"Also, if Chieko-san and Akechi-san come over, would you like to go out for dinner tonight?"

"No thanks~" Mingcai refused, "It's not like we're treating you. After mother and elder sister come over, we can just eat at home~"

"Is this okay~"

"Stupid tape! I'll cook!"

Since she is Akina's relative, Naoki Nagayama naturally listens to her, and it seems that he will be closer to her if he does it himself.

"Will Naoki-san work overtime today?"

"That doesn't mean I will come back after the filming is over."

"Hmm~"

"."

Some people say that when a couple has been together for a long time, their conversations will become very long-winded, probably just talking about what to eat every morning, what time to be back home at night, etc. However, this ordinary daily routine makes people feel extremely at ease.

After breakfast, Naoki Nagayama drove to Ota Ward to continue filming "Hayato".

Early morning hours.

In a small printing factory in the suburbs of Tokyo, reporters and editors are watching newspapers being printed on the printing line.

"Editor-in-Chief Miyake, once this report is published, it cannot be saved!" Reporter Omori Masanobu reminded his editor-in-chief, "This is related to the top leaders of the National Police Agency!"

"Da Sen, you have already written the manuscript, why are you holding back now?"

Miyake Masayuki cursed, then looked at this small printing factory and the sample magazine in his hand.

"Our Tokyo Tabloid is originally a small newspaper. Without attractive reports, it will not be able to continue!"

After the meeting last night, Shuyou's distribution department contacted various media outlets, intending to issue a film promotion press release and faxed the reporting materials to various newspapers.
However, the reports of major newspapers are typeset more than ten hours in advance, so there is no way to change the morning paper and it can only be published in the evening paper.

The Tokyo Tabloid is a small newspaper with a small circulation, so it is easier to print, and they changed today's headlines temporarily.

"But... I won't be arrested by the police if I use words like "a story between a police chief and a gangster"?!"

"What are you afraid of? You can just stay in jail for a few days. I will bail you out!"

Editor-in-chief Masayuki Miyake has been worried about the declining circulation since he took over this tabloid. Now he finally has a hot spot, and it was provided by a tree friend.
How can we not try this?! Maybe from now on, Tokyo Tabloid will become Tokyo Broadcast!

"Anyway, start printing, and then deliver them to the newsstands as quickly as possible!" Miyake Masayuki said to the other workers in the printing factory, "Print an additional 1,000. Not 5,000 copies!"

"This"

"Go and do it quickly!"

"Hi!"

In the afternoon, inside the police building at Sakuradamon, Nan Junxiong was waiting for the end of his shift.

We are already old men approaching retirement, so going to and from get off work on time is the best way to fulfill our duties. As for working overtime, doing hard work, and solving cases diligently, those should be left to the ambitious young people!
Anyway, Nam Joon-hyung has worked hard for so many years and has reached such a high position, so what's wrong with taking it easy at the end!
"Section Chief! Section Chief!"

Officer Hiroyuki Hirakawa from the Fourth Investigation Division rushed into the office and slapped a newspaper on the desk.

"problem occurs!"

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Looking at his close subordinate who was breathing rapidly, Nam Joon-woong said slowly, “Didn’t I tell you that no matter what happens, you must remain calm! Only those who have a raging heart but a calm face can achieve great success.”

He taught his subordinates:

"Come on, take a deep breath and adjust your mood! We can talk about other things later!"

"But."

Hiroyuki Hirakawa was about to tell the reason why he came here, but was suppressed by a look from Nan Junxiong.

“Take a deep breath first!”

"This is hi!"

Facing the pressure from his boss, Hiroyuki Hirakawa could only obey and began to adjust his breathing.
"Hoo~~~ho~~~"

"Yes, that's right! We police officers face criminals every day. Only if we keep a strong heart can we better uphold justice!"

Nan Junxiong looked at the younger police officer with great satisfaction and took the newspaper.

“Now, let’s see what happened.”

Hiroyuki Hirakawa indeed felt his mood calm down, and he thought that the things that had worried him before were nothing at all. After all, the real owner seemed calm and composed.

"Section Chief, many tabloids today published a promotional report for a movie, "Hayato: The New World" by Shuyou Films."

He tried to speak in a calm tone.
"Originally, this is nothing, but a photo was used in the newspaper. It was a photo of you taking a photo of the base in Ota District that day."

"It's nothing, actually. But the report said that the policeman in the prototype of the story of Hayato is your own personal experience!"

"They also said that you and the head of the Yakuza were once brothers who loved each other!! But they turned against each other because of their different paths. You are a righteous policeman with feelings and righteousness!!"

"The report said that you went to the set to visit because you couldn't let go of the past!"

After talking for a long time, Hiroyuki Hirakawa finally stopped and looked up to see the section chief holding up a newspaper and reading it carefully. He was immediately in awe. How could the section chief not get angry when faced with such slander? ! He is indeed the section chief!
But in fact, Nam Joon-hyung, who was hiding under the newspaper, was completely petrified!
When he saw the photo, he had a bad feeling.
When I saw the title of the article, "The story between the police chief and the gangster, it's like I heard a thunderclap in my head."
Then I listened to the reports from my subordinates and the descriptions in the reports.
I felt dizzy, as if the blood was being squeezed into my head, and my body was getting colder and colder, as if I was as stiff as a stone and couldn't move.
In the end, only one thought kept echoing in my mind:
"My lifelong reputation has been ruined. Ruined."

A few minutes later, Nan Junxiong came back to his senses, and a feeling of anger began to brew.
"Pingchuan!! Hiroyuki!!" Nan Junxiong gritted his teeth, "Bring the author of this article to the police station!! I want to treat him well in the small dark room!!!"

"."

Hiroyuki Hirakawa was stunned and didn't know whether to obey the order or not!
Just at this moment, another loud sound of footsteps came from outside, and then hurriedly stepped into Nam Joon-hyung's office.

The head of the public relations department, Tatsuya Shinohara, also came in with several newspapers. As the head of the public relations department, he would naturally be the first to know about the reports related to the National Police Agency.

“Nan Junxiong, what’s wrong with you? Pah, pah, pah!” Shinohara Tatsuya was at a loss for words for a moment. He looked at Nan Junxiong, whose face was stiff, and said, “Nan Junxiong, you really know how to have fun!”

“???” Nan Junxiong and Hiroyuki Hirakawa cast puzzled looks at him.

Minister Shinohara Tatsuya put down the newspaper and said:
"Many tabloids have reported that you are the prototype of the new movie by Shuyou Eiga. There are also several large newspapers, such as the Yomiuri Shimbun and the Tokyo Sports News. Their editorial offices have called the public relations department! They are all asking if you are the prototype of this story."

"No wonder you were so excited about your previous two encounters with Nagayama Hayato, you guy." It's hard to tell whether Shinohara Tatsuya's tone was blaming or something, but it was a little excited.

Nan Junxiong immediately stood up and wanted to explain!
"I have absolutely nothing to do with that guy." "Why didn't you tell me about this good news in advance?"

The two sentences were spoken at the same time, colliding with each other, but they seemed to contain two different attitudes, causing the office to fall into a brief silence. Hiroyuki Hirakawa in the middle looked at the two people with a puzzled look.
Nan Junxiong was a little confused: "Minister Shinohara, what do you mean?"

Shinohara Tatsuya looked left and right, then laughed:
"I said that Section Chief Nam Joon-woong parted ways with his good brother in the end for the sake of justice. Such an upright police image, if the movie is released, in the future when people think of the image of a policeman who is loyal and righteous but can distinguish right from wrong, they will definitely think of you, Nam Joon-woong, first!"

"???"

Nam Joon-hyung was even more confused!

Shinohara Tatsuya sat down and began to explain to the old guy.

"In recent years, social trends have changed rapidly. People have become more accepting of the Yakuza, the Yakuza, and bad culture, but their impression of the police who uphold justice has become worse and worse. Our public relations department has racked their brains but can't think of a good solution."

Indeed, in current movies and TV series, bad culture and other rebellious culture are becoming more and more prevalent. The police are either representatives of oppression or representatives of incompetence. In short, there is no good image, which leads to people's increasingly bad impression of the police.
Although the public relations department tried its best to put out the fire, the police are, after all, a violent agency, and their natural meaning is to suppress. In the eyes of those who pursue freedom, they naturally represent oppression.
Western liberalism happened to be spreading widely in Japan, which put increasing pressure on the police.
Public relations director Shinohara Tatsuya spoke for a long time, and finally said to Nan Junxiong:

"If you, Nam Joon-woong, are the prototype of this story, then it is a very beneficial message for boosting the image of the police!"

“???” Nam Joon-woong was dumbfounded, “But isn’t this movie the story of that guy Nagayama Hayato?”

"I heard that in the end, Nagayama Hayato went back to his hometown in disgrace, right?" Shinohara Tatsuya had already inquired about the script. At his level, he naturally had a wide network of contacts. "And his club in Tokyo was also disbanded, right?"

“That’s true.” Nan Junxiong thought he was talking about his past with Nagayama Hayato. “The streets were very chaotic at that time, and Nagayama Hayato didn’t have any roots in Tokyo. He couldn’t make it after a few years.”

".So it's true!" Shinohara Tatsuya's eyes lit up, "Minister Nan Shunxiong and Nagayama Hayato really did have a relationship."

“!!! We don’t have any friendship at all!” Nam Joon-woong didn’t know why, and suddenly felt a little panicked. “There is absolutely no such thing as brotherhood!!! We don’t even have any informant plans in the police department!”

"Oh? The informant plan." Shinohara Tatsuya thought for a moment, "Ah, you mean the intelligence agent plan. Speaking of which, I seem to have read in the archives that the National Police Agency had a special operation to plant intelligence agents in social organizations, and they even approved a special budget."

"???" "!!!"

Nan Junxiong opened his eyes wide. When he came back that day, he specifically asked someone about it, and there was no such thing!
"Is there really such a plan?"

The police’s informants are all the criminal police’s personal network resources. There is no such thing as informant bonus. The most is intelligence cooperation!

"I'm already a Superintendent of Police. Is there anything in the National Police Agency that I can't see because of my rank?!"

Shinohara Tatsuya saw that Nan Junxiong was a little confused, and explained with a smile:

"Haha, it's because it's been too long. The plans are long gone and the files are sealed. If I hadn't been writing about the history of the police force, I wouldn't have gone through this pile of old papers!"

"."

Nam Joon-hyung opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

Hiroyuki Hirakawa also noticed the tense atmosphere in the office and knew that the two bosses would have something to say, so he stood up and said:

"Section Chief, then I will go arrest the reporter from Tokyo Tabloid first."

"Eh? Why are they arresting reporters?" The PR director was indeed very sensitive to public opinion. "If we're not careful, the media will explode!"

If they dare to arrest this reporter today for his reporting, will they arrest me tomorrow? All media outlets will surely be united on this point!

"Because of the report in Tokyo Tabloid"

Hiroyuki Hirakawa looked towards Toshio Minami
"Hey, Section Chief Nam Joon-woong."

Shinohara Tatsuya waved his hand and told Hirakawa Hiroyuki to go out first and not to arrest the reporters, then he spoke to Nan Junxiong,

"In fact, the news that you are the prototype of the story in the movie, if used well, will not only help boost the image of the police, but also be a lifelong affirmation for you!"

"I'm not a prototype. I don't need this kind of affirmation!"

"How could it be possible that I don't need it?!"

Shinohara Tatsuya began to use his eloquence.
"When people talk about good police officers in the future, they will think of Nam Joon-woong. You will become a legend! Maybe some children will hear your story and want to become a loyal police officer!"

"?"

Nam Joon-hyung felt extremely funny. Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Shinohara Tatsuya continued, "If the Public Relations Department of the National Police Agency gets involved in the promotion of the film, it will help promote a positive image of the police."

"Our department's year-end report will also look better."

"Section Chief Nam Joon-woong, you're almost retired, why don't you make another contribution to the National Police Agency?"

"."

Nan Junxiong listened to Shinohara Tatsuya's endless chatter, and his mind became more and more confused. However, one thing became clearer and clearer.
It seems that I really have to tell a story with that guy Nagayama Hayato.
Anyway, in the eyes of the public, there must be such a story.
