Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"Captain Ke'er, please punish him severely!"

When Yamato Kana proudly raised her leg to kick the old man's face for the first time, she unexpectedly found that because it was not long enough, her leg slid down and landed on the old man's crotch.

The pressure of dozens of kilograms, pressing down on the old man's testicles through the high-heeled leather boots, seemed to materialize in the old man's mind as if the feeling of the yolk cracking and breaking was forming.

The old man screamed repeatedly, crying and begging for mercy:

"Ah!!! It really has nothing to do with me."

But the evidence was overwhelming. Which of the female police officers present didn't have multiple disciplinary records? Which of them didn't have outstanding achievements? They either had lives on their hands or had broken the law.

"Old man, explain yourself!"

Seeing that her short legs couldn't even reach his chest, Yamato Keir angrily pulled out her stun gun and shocked the old man.

Then the other policewomen also pulled out stun guns, ready to give the old man a real taste of what electric shock hell is like.

Meanwhile, Ryuzaki Hibari, who was in charge of supervising the police to prevent them from doing anything wrong, was secretly kissing Li Xinghe on the second floor.

Just as the policewomen were taking turns using stun guns and electric batons to shock the old man to the point of near death, the door opened, and a pretty, round-faced young woman with long, flowing black hair cascading down her back, about 1.58 meters tall, wearing a sailor uniform and sheer white stockings, stood charmingly in the doorway.

She dragged a large suitcase, kicking off her open-toed sandals as she stepped onto the tatami mat with her white-stockinged feet, muttering to herself:

"Grandpa, I came back to pack up my mother's belongings, and then I'll go back to Qingshan Manor. Our virtual idol company has a pretty strict performance review this month, and we also have to do live-streamed Chinese lessons, so we're very busy. There's this short, tall manager who keeps saying things like 'You should remember Boss Chiyo's kindness,' 'Without Boss Chiyo, there would be no...' It's so annoying... Ugh, who are you guys?"

She looked up and saw that the room was full of female police officers in uniform, taking turns using stun guns on her grandfather.

"You are..."

When the policewomen heard her words, they recognized the familiar location and the familiar name. They already knew Takajo Satsuki, who was only slightly taller than Yamato Keiko.

So they called Li Xinghe down from upstairs, where he was checking the list of personnel.

Li Xinghe walked over and looked down at the young and adorable girl:

"I am Chiyo Seikawa. Do you remember my kindness?"

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 5500 words. I said this morning I'd write more, so...

I wrote 1000 extra words.

Chapter 533: Cult Virtual Idols, Punishing Bosses and Subordinates (4300 words)

"Boss...!"

The 1.58-meter tall girl in white stockings knelt in front of Li Xinghe, begging for forgiveness in a dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling posture).

Inside the room, several policewomen were eyeing Li Xinghe intently.

The chemistry-wearing girl, Saigo Sanerichi, pushed up her glasses with a stun gun, a flash of black light appearing in her eyes:

"Department head, Qingshan Manor is your idol company, right? Wow, our boss's company's idols are actually running an underground cult at home."

Minami Tsukishima and Kana Yamato nodded in agreement. Hibari Ryuzaki pretended not to see it. Yuri Nagi and Mayumi Saito echoed Saigo Sanji's prank, but had already drawn their pistols.

In a sense, the Ninth Division of the Public Security Bureau has gotten this far thanks to Li Xinghe constantly building his reputation. The troublesome female officers in the department have received all sorts of punishments and been exiled here, enjoying the happiest year of their careers. If a scandal really breaks out about a cult group under the division chief, then they'll publicly execute Hei Guangtian and his seven grandsons here.

Although it sounds dark and scary, on a hot, sunny afternoon, after the policewomen had finished harassing their section chief, they were about to commit murder in public to cover for him.

Tsukishima Minami's cold threat:

“Kill them. We have black-gun assassins, chemical geniuses, and forensic experts to assist us. Disposing of two bodies is as easy as drinking water.”

"what!"

The old man with the black light fainted from fright.

Li Xinghe looked back and saw that the men had their guns ready and were preparing to gather chemical agents and dismemberment tools. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be so murderous, okay? We are the peaceful and friendly Ninth Group, okay? Don't scare our lovely Yamato Keiko."

Yamato Kana nodded repeatedly, extremely nervous.

Li Xinghe tapped the ground, signaling the young girl in white silk to continue explaining what she did.

This girl has quite a strong heart:

"My name is Suzuka Kuroko. I am... I am a virtual idol and voice actress from Aoyama-sou. Satsuki Takajo trusts and values ​​me a lot!"

Li Xinghe asked Yuedao Nansha to fetch a bucket of water and splash it on the old man with black light to wake him up:

"Old man, isn't Blacklight a surname you forged?"

There is no such clan name as "Kuroko" in Japan, at least not to Li Xinghe's recollection. The origin of this clan name is likely the modern cult "Kuroko," a branch of a Christian cult. Therefore, this old man must have been involved in at least two cult groups in his youth.

Li Xinghe wanted two people to compare the information and find out the whole story.

The old man with the black light hurriedly shook his head:

"Suzuka and her mother are the children left behind by the suicide of a fanatical follower of the Unification Church whom I adopted. So they inherited my name from when I made a mistake. Her grandparents were Buraku people from Kansai. After being swindled out of all their money by the church, they committed suicide in the name of going to heaven. Only her mother was brought to Tokyo by me, where she made a living by working as an assistant in the Unification Church. Later, her mother died unexpectedly, and Tetsuya Yamagami caused a nationwide outcry against the Unification Church. I really dared not break the law again. It really had nothing to do with me."

Clearly, like most cult members, the old man with the dark light was a genuine believer in cults in his early years, but in his middle and old age, he used the cult's name to swindle money. After Tetsuya Yamagami assassinated Shinzo Abe, the old man with the dark light, who was involved in the Unification Church at the time, feared that he would also be killed, so he changed his name, retired from the cult, and fled with his adopted granddaughter.

At this moment, Tsukishima Minami took out the evidence she had collected, as well as the items in the room, and asked:

"What about the evidence in the room? We've found a lot of dirt on you."

The old man with the black light couldn't explain it, but Suzuka with the black light admitted that he was the cult leader behind the scenes:

"It was...it was me."

"Ok?"

Three pistols were pressed against Suzuka Kuroko's forehead. Saigo Sanji, Yuri Nagi, and Saito Mayumi simultaneously pulled the triggers, making the girl break out in a cold sweat.

"explain."

The black-light Suzuka spread out her plump, white-stockinged legs and sat down like a duck, partly to flirt with the boss for self-protection, and partly to earnestly express:

“We… My performance in the company has always been poor. As a newcomer, my results are always at a low level. So in order to get a better position in the performance competition, I… used some methods of spreading religion to sell merchandise, audio, and subscriptions, so that I could climb to the top in the performance competition.”

Although it sounds outrageous, within the Ninth Bureau of Public Security, such things don't seem so outrageous.

Only then did things become clear.

Kuroko Suzuka, a social outcast recruited by Takajo Satsuki, also has a high school dropout education, making her an innate abstract saint in the virtual YouTuber circle.

However, because Aoyama-sou is home to a bunch of industry bigwigs, both voice actors and idols, and some even followed Maria Miyake to run for senator, Suzuka Kuroko was forced to find her own area of ​​advantage in order to compete within the company.

With her innate ability to spot cults cultivated by her family, she found a social hotspot like the 'Japan Unification Planning Association', developed a new virus transmission theory similar to pyramid schemes, and began to spread it around using her professional network.

Li Xinghe pinched the girl's feet, which were covered in white stockings. Although the stockings were very white, her heart was very dark.

Li Xinghe questioned her:

"You're not really a born cultist, are you? The Metropolitan Police Department has looked for you, but those useless cops there haven't found anything."

Mainly, Li Xinghe wanted to test her mental abilities.

If it's just an ability developed from being raised in a cult family, then it might still be useful. But if it's from someone who's a born con artist, then it's harmful to Takajo Mayu and should be eliminated immediately.

When questioned by his boss, Suzuka Kuroko frankly revealed his source of income:

"We...we spread it quietly using alternate accounts through online social media groups, Onlyfans, Fanbox, and other similar platforms. For paid content, we only use one US-based fan-sponsored platform, and the funds are raised through sales of the virtual idol Asmr's voice."

"Huh? You guys? A whole bunch of you?"

"Yes, there are a few idols from Qingshanzhuang who are also helping me sell this kind of project. They are helping each other sell merchandise through their own subscription channels."

Li Xinghe's sunglasses fell off.

Using pornography to spread cults is an insult to the sexual instincts of men and women in society.

I demand an apology from humanity!

However, the fact that he managed to learn how to transfer funds in a decentralized manner shows that he is quite a natural genius.

Seeing that the female police officers around him still looked wary, Suzuka Kuroko waved her hands repeatedly, begging for mercy.

"At first, it really was just an R16 project for Asmr, but because I used some cult propagation techniques when I was doing the voice acting, the sound was a bit cultish, so it spread on a small scale. Then, we continued to produce the Guiyi Society's records, documents, and shrine tablets, and we only sold them as cultural products. We didn't have any special skills in Qingshan Village. We couldn't sing or dance, so we could only rely on our own abilities to earn some money."

"One's own abilities" refers to the missionary skills cultivated by three generations immersed in the cult.

Just as Li Xinghe was interrogating Heiguang Suzuka, a noise came from the doorway.

Before seeing the person, one hears their voice:

"Little Suzuka! I'm here to save you!"

It turns out it was Takajo May who came; no wonder I couldn't see anyone.

Everyone looked down and saw Gao Tiao Wuyue, dressed in a matching little dress and wearing a big yellow hat, rushing into the room in a panic. When she looked up and saw a large group of burly female police officers in black clothes, blue pants, and big leather boots, she turned pale with fright and almost fainted.

Fortunately, before fainting, May saw her destined companion, Yamato Kana of the Mobile Support Team, and the 1.4-meter-tall squad reunited.

"Ke'er!"

"May!"

The two embraced each other with tears in their eyes; the evil policewoman's murderous aura had probably frightened Yamato and Keiko quite a bit.

Li Xinghe looked at these short little girls.

It's a bit of a headache.

No, we need to try to appear more gentle.

Li Xinghe said:

“Sit down and let’s start going through this again to see what exactly happened.”

The three girls sat down together.

Kuroko Suzuka kept apologizing to Takajo Satsuki, admitting that she relied on a cult to spread her influence and used the subscription fees from cult members to inflate the company's performance, leaving Takajo Satsuki at a loss for what to do.

What kind of merchandise do you sell?

Black Light Suzuka showed Li Xinghe their complete collection of doctrines, scriptures, and talismans.

To Li Xinghe's utter astonishment, the so-called doctrines and codes were nothing more than crudely made collections of excerpts from Confucian classics, written in Chinese characters. They were probably incomprehensible to the average Japanese person, which ironically made them seem more sophisticated. The shrine was to Guan Yu, whom overseas Chinese worship daily; this was a common Guan Yu-related belief among southern Chinese who went overseas.

"This is the cheapest; it's sold cheaply in Yiwu. I asked some Chinese people, and they said that Mazu statues are also very cheap, but it seems that only people from Fujian believe in them, so I gave up on that idea."

"If the people of Fujian hear this, they might eat you up."

Of course, one major reason why Suzuka Koguro was able to avoid being caught by the Metropolitan Police Department while practicing her cult activities was that although the channels she used for dissemination were legal, the payment channels for raising funds were American platforms. She used AsMR audio resources and these poorly made Yiwu-style small commodity products to get followers to pay. It was difficult for the Japanese government to investigate, so the Metropolitan Police Department didn't know where their money was flowing.

At this point, the whole incident is quite clear.

The cult that Li Xinghe wanted to use to spread among the people turned out to be a little girl from his own virtual idol company who was secretly boosting his rankings.

Li Xinghe patted the little head of the black Suzuka:

"Stop swindling money from old men. I can give you a separate allowance so you can continue operating these things, but don't make large-scale profits. Do it with the mindset of doing social good."

"Huh? Why do it if it's not profitable?"

"Idiot, you should learn more about internet thinking. A huge user base is the foundation for making money. You need to cultivate the market first before you can make more money."

Li Xinghe coughed and habitually pulled out $5.

However, considering the situation of the Kuroko family, he stuffed the money into Takajo Mayu's hand: "Mayu, supervise her. Make sure your little church is spread as a legitimate church. Have your grandfather register a religious corporation and restart the process of establishing a formal church. Remember, no money is allowed."

"oh oh……"

May, Ke'er, and Suzuka huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, seemingly complaining about the excessive brutality of Li Xinghe's policewomen. Of course, Ke'er, being from a family with a background in finance, could also impart some new economic knowledge to Suzuka.

As the saying goes, what's free is often the most expensive.

It's much better to properly establish a religious legal entity than to swindle money from elderly people.

However, just as Li Xinghe was about to call it quits, the policewomen surrounded him, their faces unfriendly.

Musashi Hachima hugged Li Xinghe tightly from behind, then Tsukishima Minami coughed twice:

"Boss, are the promises from before still valid?"

"What promise?"

Li Xinghe was puzzled.

But Hibari Ryuzaki covered his little bottom.

Naturally, the punishment conditions that had been rumored for a long time within the Ninth Bureau of Public Security were brought to everyone's attention.
