On the surface, Kujo Yua could never allow Police Department officers to do such things.

Article 103 of Japan's "National Public Servant Law" clearly stipulates: public servants "shall not concurrently hold positions in private enterprises aiming for profit in sectors such as commerce, industry, finance, nor shall they operate profit-making enterprises themselves."

This regulation applies to all national public servants. As core law enforcement personnel of the Police Department, criminal police naturally fall within the prohibited scope.

Furthermore, the "Local Public Servant Law" similarly prohibits local public servants, including police officers, from engaging in dual employment. Violators will face salary reductions, suspension, or even dismissal.

There are always some officers attempting to break the rules and earn some extra cash in private, with a batch taken to court every year, and the severity is outrageous.

For example, the Deputy Chief in the fire department of Ehime Prefecture worked part-time at a beef bowl restaurant after work to supplement his household income. After being reported, he was directly suspended for two months without pay.

Or a female employee of the National Tax Agency was serving as a hostess in a club and was severely reprimanded after exposure, almost getting directly dismissed and losing her public servant job.

If Fushimi Roku openly took on a side job as a financial consultant, someone would definitely be under investigation, and Kujo Yua would have to clean up the mess if something went wrong.

We must understand that criminal police might access sensitive information on cases, company backgrounds, etc. If the company they run has business dealings with parties related to cases, it's easy to be suspected of using their position for personal gain.

For instance, in investigations involving economic crimes, if a criminal police officer holds a position in that company, it would directly violate the principle of avoidance… Not to mention the company Fushimi Roku intends to work for has connections to the black market.

But rules are dead, people are alive.

Kujo Yua knows the relevant legal clauses better than this litigator Fushimi Roku. After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth to speak: "Find a friend who isn't a public servant, start a company, it needs to be non-profit in nature, I will give you a heads up on the approval… You can take on a 'non-profit sideline' at this company."

She paused and added, "The Police Department has new regulations allowing public servants to engage in non-profit activities, such as volunteer services, cultural lectures, etc. You need to apply in advance and declare your income, Chief Kikuchi won't hold your paperwork back."

Fushimi Roku understood immediately.

He worked in the non-profit company performing public service, providing support services for free, leaving no room for criticism.

As for the specific job content, that's inconvenient to say. If you insist on probing, it would be something like educating black market members about legal knowledge, which counts as persuading people to be good, similar to the legal education programs on TV.

Moreover, the Inakawa Association could regularly provide Fushimi Roku with a salary in the form of donations.

For instance, if Sazaki Gen felt that Fushimi-kun's education was excellent and turned his underlings into law-abiding citizens, he'd feel deeply moved and donate a hundred thousand or eighty thousand to the non-profit company, which is perfectly reasonable.

The non-profit company, having received the money, has ten thousand ways to legally and compliantly give the money to Fushimi Roku.

No need to speak of the distant or elaborate methods, let's just present the simplest and most direct way—donating the money to Taira Sakurako, a child with a disability, which is also considered helping the poor.

Fushimi Roku considered this method good and planned to ask Kazama Tatsuya if he would be willing to start a company and become the president, after all, idle time could be used to contribute to society.

After discussing business, Kujo Yua did not immediately get up to leave.

According to social etiquette and the unspoken rules of the officialdom, she had to say a few heartfelt words to her subordinate to improve feelings.

"By the way, I noticed earlier that Tamako started calling you Mr. Deer." Kujo Yua, unable to stay idle, began peeling an apple again.

Anyway, someone had placed a bowl of fruit by the bedside, and she thought it would be a waste not to peel them.

"Ah yes, Tamako insists on calling me that, there's no stopping her." Fushimi Roku sighed, shook his head, and lamented, "It's too cloying, right? It's quite embarrassing if someone hears it..."

Kujo Yua had to cough awkwardly and switched the topic to another angle to foster closeness: "Actually, I've always supported Tamako's free love."

"Is that so?" Fushimi Roku's face was full of disbelief.

"Yes, it is. When you started dating Tamako, I didn't oppose it, did I?" Kujo Yua's hand was steady as she peeled the apple, indicating she was good with a knife in her youth.

Fushimi Roku thought carefully and found it true. When Kujo Yua went to the Nakagawara Police Station for an inspection, she saw him with Taira Sakurako with her own eyes and afterward didn't say anything like 'Here's a million to leave my daughter', only laid down a request for 'No premarital x behavior'."

Frankly speaking, from a mother's point of view, this request is reasonable.

Fushimi Roku was a bit puzzled why, in that case, Kujo Yua never gave him a nice face?

Smart people don't need to explicitly state their thoughts in words; a glance is enough for the other to understand. Knowing what he was thinking, Kujo Yua explained, "I had a failed marriage. I know what it tastes like to have irreconcilable differences with a husband, and I know what it feels like when a husband dies early."

"I think I can live to a hundred years old."

Fushimi Roku thought of an old saying, 'Good people don't live long, but scourges last for a thousand years.' Perhaps he could live to a hundred.

Kujo Yua gave him a helpless look. After finishing peeling the apple, she didn't hand it to Fushimi Roku but ate a bite herself: "What about irreconcilable differences? Why did you talk only about living a hundred years?"

"That's called complementary personalities, not irreconcilable differences." Fushimi Roku said.

Kujo Yua couldn't continue discussing with this guy. She wanted to show sincerity and closeness, but this guy always played dumb. So she didn't bother to say more, put the apple aside, got up, and left, leaving Fushimi Roku to rest quietly.
