Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

After a while, Sato Miwako sent the corresponding location information.

The message also clearly stated the idea of ​​meeting up at the temple.

After Inspector Megure took a look at the detailed location, he blinked in confusion.

How come this thing is so far away? It's almost out of Tokyo!

Fortunately, I didn't go out, otherwise it would not be under my jurisdiction. Although the jurisdiction of the Special Department is quite wide, maybe I could go outside.

After all, they are directly under the central government, but the relationship between the central and local governments here.

The relationship between the central and local governments is different from what people generally think of. It basically adheres to the basic principle of local autonomy.

The main reason was that when the emperor was revered and the barbarians were expelled, although the shogunate at the time was overthrown, the daimyo in various places were not overthrown.

It is only in name, because of the name of the central government, so it can be considered to have integrated the power of the entire country.

Therefore, after removing those daimyo, each local area still has the right to self-government.

The highest local officials are not appointed directly by the central government, but are elected by the local governments themselves.

That is to say, if you gradually become famous in the local area, you can become the highest official there.

And the central government cannot cancel this title because it is protected by the Constitution.

It doesn’t mean that the central government can cancel it if it wants to. The key is that the strength of each local government is actually not weak.

If you really want to do this, it will definitely cause a mess.

Although unlike in the United States, state governments can directly resist the orders of the White House.

But even if it is not done openly, if there are too many actions in secret, your life will still not be able to go ahead.

In this way, the power of the central government suddenly becomes much smaller, although the power of local officials.

As for various job departments, the central government still has the power to set them up.

But sometimes the will of the local top leaders can be easily interfered with, and it does not mean that the civil servants you send down will be able to grasp the actual situation on the ground.

After all, there are only so many official positions. Once the people you send down arrive at the local area, can they really directly control all the local people?

Therefore, the local and central governments are in a state of mutual compromise, and sometimes even local taxes can be negotiated. Bargaining is not necessarily in a fixed state.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of such a place that if a large-scale disaster occurs, the central government can actually choose to carry out rescue under certain conditions.

After all, this is the basic principle of local autonomy. I have given you such great autonomy, you can't always come to me for everything, right?

This is also the case sometimes, such as when an earthquake or fire occurs, people feel that the government's response is too slow.

The main reason is that local governments are inevitably affected by disasters, and sometimes operations are not smooth at all. In addition, because of this disaster, various problems will definitely arise locally.

In terms of the rescue efforts, it is inevitable that they will be greatly reduced, and at this time those in the central government can naturally just watch the fire from the other side of the river.

When everyone is unable to exert any strength or simply does not exert any strength, the speed of disaster rescue will naturally slow down.

However, compared to other places, the order on the police side is actually much better.

Although the police also have a considerable power, in a place where everyone has submitted to the unified state, there is no idea to directly control the police.

Therefore, all police forces in various places are basically integrated under the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

However, the degree of obedience in the end is another matter. After all, it will be more or less influenced by the local environment.

However, the influence of the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters on local police is much greater than that of the cabinet above.

After finding out the specific situation, Inspector Megure quickly led his men to the designated location.

I mentioned before that this area is on the outskirts of Tokyo during the Edo Shogunate period, also known as the Tokugawa Shogunate period.

It existed as the capital, but at that time it was still a city called Edo.

But later on, although it had become the capital in name or in fact, there was no legal provision that Tokyo was the capital.

Or it was not certain that Tokyo was the capital, because after all, Tokyo existed for such a long time under the name of Edo.

Many people still regard Edo as a relic of the Tokugawa shogunate era and do not truly regard Tokyo as the capital.

However, since it has actually become the capital, the opinions of these people are completely irrelevant.

However, despite this, there are still some people who firmly believe that Kyoto is actually the capital.

That is, Heian-kyo, which once served as the capital a long time ago, because although places like the shogunate's seat, such as Kamakura and Edo, were also regarded as the capital at that time.

But the place where the mascot is located has always been Heian-kyo, so before Edo became Tokyo.

Heian-kyo is now the city of Kyoto, from 794 AD to 1868 AD.

This has been the de facto Kyoto for more than a thousand years, especially during the period when the mascot would occasionally jump around and occasionally occupy power.

Even if this power is not too great, it is sometimes enough. After all, after the title has been around for so many years, no one will directly touch it.

The development of Tokyo only began in full swing after the shogunate era came to an end.

The development went quite smoothly, and many surrounding areas were incorporated into Tokyo.

But this has also caused a considerable imbalance in the development of the entire Tokyo area. If you are in the central area, you will see a very prosperous area.

It fully fits the bill of a modern mega-metropolitan centre, except occasionally because it has been built for too long.

There wasn't enough time to update it, so there's nothing to blame except that some parts may be left behind.

But if you are outside this area, then other areas will make you feel like you have come to other cities because there is no sign of development at all.

This area is a very obvious example, it looks like a primitive village that has not been developed at all.

Ah! No, it can't even be described as a primitive village, because there is no village here at all.
