Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 77: Crazy Suicide Note
According to statistics, 18 people died in the Sugamo Apartment case and one person was slightly injured. The survivor was named Seiji Yasukawa, who was detained by the police some time ago due to a neighborhood dispute.

The first person to witness the crime was the apartment manager. He woke up at 6 a.m. to clean the corridor as usual. When he saw the body, he ran downstairs to make a phone call. But the line of the public telephone booth had been cut, so he had to walk to the police station in front of Sugamo Station to report the case. As you can imagine, there was no police officer on duty. He could only walk another block to find another public telephone booth and report the case to the police station.

The Metropolitan Police Department attached great importance to this case. Gen Yuko didn't even have the opportunity to profile the scene before the case was taken over by the Investigation Division 1. That group of elite detectives was extremely powerful, and even Yamaguchi Takashi was reduced to a marginal investigator, who could only watch them come in and out of the scene.

Because of the shortage of manpower, Fushimi Shika was temporarily reinstated. To put it nicely, it was meritorious service, to put it bluntly, it was free work. He worked all night last night, and today he had to pretend to be energetic to help deal with the scene. The resentment in his heart was heavier than a ghost.

The crowd worked from morning to evening before they finally cleaned up the scene and recorded statements from the people involved.

After the on-site report and autopsy report came out, the head of the First Investigation Section immediately called everyone to a meeting and asked the police officers in charge to analyze the case, identify the suspects, and assign tasks.

The Jinbiao team sat at the front of the conference room, while the detectives from the police station sat like students. As for the patrol officers on duty, they all stood at the back, waiting for their superiors to assign them tasks.

"I'm Investigator Keito Kaga, you can just call me Kaga."

The man sitting at the head introduced himself. He lowered his head to organize the report and said with ease, "Let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point. We have decided to merge this criminal case with the civil dispute from a while ago. There is also a case of suicide by jumping off a building that needs to be re-investigated..."

Yamaguchi Takashi couldn't help but raise his hand. After receiving a signal from his superior, he asked, "Can I ask the reason for the merger?"

"I remember your name is Yamaguchi Takashi, right?" Kaga Keito didn't wait for him to answer. He lowered his head and looked through the information on the table, and said to himself: "Yes, Yamaguchi Takashi, the head of the criminal investigation department of Toyota District Police Station."

"Uh, it's me."

"According to the records, the patrol officer at the station reported to you several times about the abnormal conditions in the apartment. The first report was based on 'suspected shootings and falling from buildings', and the second report was based on 'suspected disappearances and kidnappings'... You rejected both reports and refused to file a case."

Kaga Keito closed the information, crossed his fingers, looked up and said, "Can I ask why?"

Yamaguchi Takashi had a bad feeling. He glanced back at his assistant, who helped to explain, "It's like this. The report submitted by the patrol officer at the time did not contain sufficient evidence..."

"Did I ask you?" Kaga Keito interrupted.

The assistant was speechless for a moment. He could feel that Kaga Keito's momentum overwhelmed the entire conference room. Usually when he reported to the director, he didn't feel such heavy pressure.

Yamaguchi Takashi had no choice but to excuse himself: "Because the report submitted by the patrol officer did not meet the standards for filing a case, it was rejected and they were asked to handle it as a regular civil dispute..."

"Excuse." Kaga Keito interrupted again.

Yamaguchi Takashi could only reiterate: "According to the regulations, this is the case..."

"Are you telling me about the regulations? A case was filed just to please a female reporter, but was hastily closed because the suspect colluded with others to try to sue for violent law enforcement, and finally it was pushed to the Jiaoban to be a civil dispute. Which one of these complies with the regulations?" Keito Kaga asked back.

Yamaguchi Takashi broke out in a cold sweat, wetting his back. He didn't expect Kaga Keito to make trouble in public, and the superior was still watching, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "This has nothing to do with the massacre at Sugamo Apartment..."

"It has nothing to do with it?"

Kaga Keito turned on the projector, and his assistant took the initiative to close the window. The screen showed an enlarged white envelope with some blood on the corners. It was obviously an important piece of evidence found at the crime scene. It was a suicide note.

The handwriting on the envelope was twisted and crazy, and it described the motive for the murder and the process of the massacre in the first person. The writer claimed that he had a dual personality, one of which had violated a woman with his neighbor some time ago and thrown her child off the rooftop; the other personality was extremely disgusted with such atrocities, and after waking up, he killed all the accomplices and wrote "divine punishment" on the wall...

Yamaguchi Takashi couldn't stand it anymore. His face turned pale and he couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too much?"

"This is the handwriting identification report," Kaga Keito threw a stack of papers in his face. "Even if this suicide note is forged, it is an indisputable fact that the rape and fall from the building occurred."

The pages of paper fluttered and scattered in front of Yamaguchi Takashi. Before he could come to his senses, he heard Kaga Keito say again: "I advise you to continue reading and finish it."

Yamaguchi Takashi scanned two more lines, and when he saw the words "Stealing Police Guns" on the letter, his head suddenly exploded, and he felt like he had experienced a nuclear explosion, and his whole body was numb.

"Where is your gun?" asked Keito Kaga.

"..."

Yamaguchi Takashi felt his fingers go numb and his temples throbbed. He widened his eyes, and when the buzzing in his ears faded, his first reaction was to refuse to accept reality.

"Impossible, this is impossible... How can it be such a coincidence..." he muttered in a low voice.

Keito Kaga signaled his men to take the man away. Two detectives from the Gold Watch Team held Yamaguchi Takashi. He then came to his senses and yelled, "Someone must have framed me," "I am innocent"... But no one dared to speak for him. Everyone watched him being dragged out of the meeting room.

They were all police officers, so they knew what would happen if they lost their guns. In a case like Yamaguchi Takashi, who was involved in a major case, he might even be sentenced to several years in prison for dereliction of duty.

"From now on, I will be in charge of the Toyota Police Station detectives."

Kaga Keito looked around at everyone and asked, "Any objections?"

The conference room was silent. Even Yuan Yuzi, who was standing at the back, did not dare to say a word. Although she felt that Yamaguchi Takashi's end was gratifying, Kaga Keito was too fierce and did not give him any face. This move of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was quite effective, and no one dared to raise any objections.

Keito Kaga didn't want to waste time on tidying up his house, so he cleared his throat, calmed down his tone, and began to explain the case to all the police officers present.

"Among the 18 dead, there is one who is the most special. The other 17 dead were killed by having their throats cut cleanly, but his death was particularly tragic. This suicide note, whose authenticity is unknown, was also found in his room. The assistant has distributed his personal information file to you. You can find it on the third page of the meeting list."

Hearing this, Yuan Yuzi lowered her head and opened the documents in her hand.

The third page was a personal information form. The name column was written as Nagashima Tsuyoshi, and there was also his photo album on it.

Yuan Yuzi thought it was this guy, she subconsciously turned to the next page and almost vomited her breakfast. The fourth page was a few photos of the scene, which clearly showed Nagashima Tsuyoshi's body.

She suppressed her discomfort, pulled the corner of Fushimi's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Um, Fushimi-san, why is there blood coming out of this place? Do boys also have menstrual periods?"
