Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 183 Rewards based on merit
The train stopped, and snow splashed on the wheels, making a hissing sound and emitting thick smoke.

beep - beep -

The whistle sounded, and people cheered and jumped off the train. The Inagawa-kai members and the detectives from the Investigation Division celebrated together. Toda Hidego and Kinoshita Shohei leaned against the window side by side, lit a cigarette, and watched their subordinates rushing to the snow, dragging the half-dead Fushimi deer high into the air.

"One, two, three! Hooray!"

Fushimi Shika grimaced in pain, cursing at everyone, "How can you treat a wounded person like this?" Seeing that he still had the energy to curse, the others threw him up again and had a lot of fun.

Gen Tamako trotted to the wrench, checked Sakurako's body up and down, and after making sure that she was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Sakurako.

Passengers from another train also got off the train, surrounded them, clapped their hands and expressed their sincere gratitude.

"Little sister is amazing!"

"That's amazing. He dared to jump out of the car in that situation..."

"So cool! Even cooler than a professional skier!"

Ping Yingzi turned her head and buried her face in Yuan Yuzi's arms. This was the first time she had such a strange feeling. Although she was in a crowd, she was not afraid, but had a strange nervousness. She was happy but afraid to see people... Was this shyness?
Yuan Yuzi was afraid that Sakurako would be upset again, so she quickly hugged her, patted her back and comforted her, and explained to everyone in a low voice. When the others learned that Sakurako was "brain-dead but determined", they immediately stood in awe, and some even planned to donate money.

Yuan Yuzi hurriedly waved her hands to dissuade them. If she accepted money at this time, it would make them look like beggars. And it was not good to blackmail others morally. Several of the passengers had patched clothes on and looked poorer than her...

"Sister, do you want to eat oranges?"

The girl held an orange in both hands and passed it to Ping Yingzi. She looked a year or two younger than Ping Yingzi, and had probably just started elementary school. Her mother stood behind her, tears welling up in her eyes after surviving a disaster.

Ping Yingzi turned her head slightly. She was silent for a moment, then carefully reached out her hand and took the orange.

This orange is specially for her.

She no longer had to rack her brains to figure out how to take other people's oranges for herself.

Seeing this scene, Gen Yuzi felt as if a Barrett had entered her eyes, and she couldn't help but hug Sakurako and burst into tears.

Several detectives from the Investigation Division were in charge of the final work. They contacted the nearest signal station through the locomotive's radio. The local self-governing association sent hundreds of volunteers to deliver supplies in small trailers. The train driver and crew repaired the train and confirmed the track route.

The local police station sent out criminal police and patrol officers to help clean up the mess. They temporarily replaced the forensic officers and medical examiners and were responsible for taking photos for evidence, moving bodies, and taking investigation notes... On a snowy field, everyone was busy.

More than seven hours later, they finally set out on their return journey.

The executive officer in charge of this arrest operation is Minister Sakamoto, whose current rank is Superintendent of Police and serves as the Director of the Criminal Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He is responsible for all major work such as advance preparation, funding approval, personnel transfers, and operation command.

More than 300 detectives from the Investigation Division boarded the train, and after more than an hour, they all lost contact. You can imagine how much pressure Minister Sakamoto was under. Before he could recover, the signal station sent an urgent report saying that the train was about to crash. His assistant was so anxious that he asked what to do. He held a teacup and said, "I trust my subordinates, they will definitely be able to turn the danger into safety." Minister Sakamoto looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked.

After everyone returned safely, Chief Sakamoto finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although many detectives died in this incident, compared to a complete annihilation, this was the best outcome.

In the subsequent finishing work, the police determined the death toll, counted the number of missing persons, and arrested a large number of members of the Tianfa Group. All media outlets were rushing to prepare press releases.

All the detectives worked overtime to write the action report. After reading it, Chief Sakamoto was furious. It was fine if everyone was taking credit, but how could a little girl who had never been to elementary school save the situation? How could he hand over such a case report to his superiors?
Minister Sakamoto rejected it directly, and his assistant translated it for him: The action report should highlight the contribution of Miss Tamako, followed by emphasizing the minister's good leadership, and then the team leader, section chief, and team members can take credit one by one.

Although the subordinates were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say much.

The next day, Minister Sakamoto received a new action report. After reading it, he expressed satisfaction, slightly revised a few details, and went to a meeting with his superiors to report on his work.

This operation can be said to be a complete victory. It was rare that no civilians were killed and no families of the victims made trouble. The police and entrepreneurs (Inagawa-kai) worked together to wipe out the criminal gang Tenfa Group. If an external announcement was made, the Tenfa Group could be characterized as a more serious crime, and the contributions of the sacrificed police officers could be publicized. Public opinion would definitely be one-sided and applauded.

However, as expected, he was scolded by Kujo Yui.

As the Metropolitan Police Superintendent, he certainly doesn't use profanity when scolding people. Kujo Yui threw the report on the table and asked who wrote it, veiledly saying, "Who on earth did such a stupid thing? Director Sakamoto, I suggest you discipline your subordinates... Don't the rescued passengers have a mouth? In order to take credit, they lied about such an insignificant matter. If a notice is issued based on this action report, how do you think the public will view the Metropolitan Police Department? A bunch of good-for-nothings who are trying to steal credit from little girls?"

No one spoke up at the meeting.

What she said makes sense. For a major case like this with a large number of witnesses, the Metropolitan Police Department should not be too greedy. Honestly commending the little girl and allocating a subsidy to help disabled children return to society is what the Metropolitan Police Department should do.

At noon that day, the Mejiro train case made the headlines of criminal news. This news report was written by Momo Yazaki, who got the first-hand information before the case happened.

The press release emphasizes that this "divine punishment" incident is not an isolated crime from the perspective of marginalized people in society. As the financial recession and rising prices sweep across Japan, a wave of world-weariness is quietly growing, and many marginalized people in society have lost hope in life - even if there is no divine punishment, they will go to extremes for other reasons.

Various media outlets have called on all sectors of society to care about the welfare of the people and improve people's happiness. Television news outlets have been inviting celebrities to interview them every day about their views on the "Sky Punishment Group" and analyzing the social factors that led to the emergence of the Sky Punishment Group.

Fushimi Shika didn't care at all about the public opinion because he was admitted to the hospital again.

This time, his left hand was broken, his right shoulder was dislocated, and his ankle was sprained. Fortunately, none of the injuries were comminuted and they will be fine after some rest.

Gen Yuzi came to visit him with a fruit basket and asked if he needed anything. Fushimi Shika lay on the bed, thinking for a long time. It might be because of the head injury. He felt that his memory was not as good as before.

"I always feel like I've forgotten something." Fushimi Shika said with a frown.

"Eh? What's the matter?" Gen Yuzi asked while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Forget it, since you can't remember it, it means it's not important." Fushimi Shika put the matter behind him and instructed Gen Tamako to open the fruit basket.
