course,” he said.
    â€œBut, if I may be frank, the reality right now is that the police force is facing a difficult investigation. Truth be told we have a huge gap in our database.”
    â€œGap?”
    â€œThere is a remarkable lack of information on minors.” Ishida looked out at the group, one by one. His gaze finally landed on Shizue.
    â€œWe don’t have any data on the minors save what’s already been made public.”
    â€œYou mean the data we have collected?”
    â€œCorrect. All we have right now is the public data collected by your local community center—the local register of residents aggregated by each local youth welfare department and local government,” the representative said.
    â€œThere must be a lot of heinous youth crimes unmentioned in that data, eh?”
    What an irresponsible thing to say. A lapse in judgment. The head chief of the area youth protective services gave a sideways glare at the representative.
    â€œMay I have a word, Assemblyman? Crime among minors has decreased drastically since its peak in 2002. It has not risen at all.”
    It was something she’d say.
    Actually, no she wouldn’t. It would imply counseling was totally useless.
    â€œWhether the rate has decreased or not does not matter. Obviously since I was elected assemblyman, the laws have been repeatedly revised.”
    Ishida replied that anyone who’d committed a crime would be charged and prosecuted, even minors.
    â€œAs you know, this will involve a criminal penalty. If it’s covered by existing laws, there is no distinction in criminality. Other than that it takes longer in court, there is no difference between criminal cases involving adults and minors. Just that in the case of minors, we have no legal access to personal information about them other than what’s been made publicly accessible. It’s the entire police organization’s judgment that accordingly, there is no need to gather that information.”
    A man sitting next to Ishida who looked like a police officer said, You mean there’s no budget for that .
    â€œAll this data aggregation is difficult as it is.”
    Hearing this wasn’t going to get anything started. The bug in Shizue’s gut started to act up again.
    â€œI get that the police have no budget, but what about it? Maybe I’m not understanding what you’re saying, but this meeting itself is a waste of our time and hence your budget.”
    Ishida spoke without change in expression or intonation.
    â€œLet me be totally forthright. I want the information you all have on people over the age of ten to be handed over to the police.”
    â€œThat’s not right.”
    Shizue looked at the counselor sitting next to her.
    He wouldn’t move.
    Is he shocked, or does he not think anything of it?
    â€œWhat is the meaning of this?”
    â€œJust as you heard. These minors—who until now were bundled up and referred to as ‘children’—in the residential quarter number approximately 3,200. We are respectfully asking you to provide nonpublic information about them.”
    That’s not right.
    â€œWe can’t do that,” Shizue said. “As a rule, we do not make public the personal information collected on the children in each community center. Even if they are over the age of ten, if they are under supervision, you need their consent to peruse their file. It doesn’t matter that you’re the police.”
    â€œThese are rules by default,” the police chief said. “I’d like you to think about the situation. It’s a serial murderer.”
    â€œPeople are killed all over the country every day. This isn’t even the first time someone’s been killed in this quarter. I’ve never heard such an illegal request.”
    â€œIt’s not illegal. This is a necessary measure we take as a matter of mitigating extralegal
