In the early hours of the morning, a gathering of Ozawa Ichiro's inner circle had just ended, and by the time he returned home, Ozawa Hideomi had been waiting at his place for quite a while.
"Mr. Ozawa, sorry to keep you waiting, that bunch didn't let me slip away easily," said Koizumi Ichiro, his face flushed and tipsy, as he tugged at his tie.
Ozawa Hideomi quickly stepped forward to help his somewhat unsteady steps towards the sofa, "I haven't been here long, and besides, there's nothing much going on tonight."
After Koizumi Ichiro sat down, he poured him a glass of water, behaving as if this were his own home.
"What did the Prime Minister say?" Koizumi Ichiro asked vaguely after taking a sip from the glass and then collapsing back into the sofa with his eyes closed.
"He wants me to investigate in secret first," Ozawa Hideomi replied and then added, "I happened to run into Aoyama Xiu Xin when I left the Prime Minister's residence."
"Oh?" Koizumi Ichiro opened his eyes.
