Tokyo Detective

Chapter 243: Catch the little tail for me

After Koichi Komuro received treatment from the doctor, his skin disease was indeed alleviated a lot and his high fever also subsided. In the future, he just needs to apply medicine on time.

It turned out to be just a common symptom.

The Komuro family felt relieved at once, and Masaaki Komuro and his wife kept bowing to Hanyu Naoki to express their gratitude. The smog that had been bothering them dissipated and they revealed genuine smiles.

"Our family is very grateful to Officer Hanyu for his help."

"It turned out to be just an illusion caused by a high fever. I was wondering where the hell this was."

Komuro Koichi, who had applied medicine on his neck, was about to say something but stopped himself. After hearing this, he even suspected that he was hallucinating. Could the smelly sludge also be an illusion?

Of course, Hanyu Naoki knew that it was best to keep his mouth shut, but looking at the family's reactions, he couldn't bear to interrupt them.

"Mr. Komuro, although your son's illness is not a curse from some evil creature, what he saw may not be false."

"what?"

Komuro Masaaki's smile froze.

"Officer Hanyu, what do you mean?"

As a policeman, Naoki Hanyu will not talk about ghosts and gods to the people involved in the case, but will only use obscure words to remind them.

"If your son continues to see strange figures in the future, tell him not to be afraid. People who are not afraid and have a strong will will not be affected."

According to Naoki Hanyu's observation, as long as a person has a strong will, he or she can be immune to most of the dirty tricks.

Masaaki Komuro grabbed the arm of the policeman in front of him and asked in panic.

"Did my son really encounter something like that?"

"I don't know. Only time will tell. Maybe you can ask some temples. Before that, carry some salt, wine and vinegar with you. Salt is for sprinkling on your body, wine is for drinking, and vinegar is for gargling from time to time."

Although Naoki Hanyu has not seen any extraordinary means of dealing with dirty things in temples and shrines, there are some ways to deal with dirty things, such as chanting sutras to stabilize the mind.

Salt, wine and vinegar can more or less dispel the black fog, and burning some calamus and mugwort to fumigate the body can also be helpful.

Naoki Hanyu doesn't know the principle, but he knows it's somewhat useful.

After explaining everything that could be said, Hanyu Naoki also said goodbye.

"Now that the case is over, I'll take my leave."

"."

The three people who stayed in the hospital looked at each other, and finally it was the father, Masaaki Komuro, who spoke.

"Mother has a good friend who is a nun. Maybe we can take Xiaoyi to see her."

"it is good."

"I'll call and ask first."

Soon, Komuro Masaaki's mother responded. Her friend asked Komuro Koichi to go there quickly and to prepare more clothes as he would probably have to stay in the temple for a while.

When Naoki Hanyu and Mai Fujiwara left the hospital, a message sound came from their cell phone.

The first message was from Himena Sakuraba, who sweetly asked about the follow-up of the incident. She was very curious about whether there were ghosts in the world, so she was directly ignored by Naoki Hanyu.

The second message was a file sent by a newly created account. When Hanyu Naoki opened it, his expression changed.

This is a file sent by Yukinosuke Miura, the president of Panlongkai, using a trumpet, which contains information about several Kabukicho underworld gangs.

For example, if a store sells drugs, that store is likely to be a loan shark forcing women into prostitution.

Naoki Hanyu said he would not hinder the underworld from making money, but he also did not guarantee that he would not cause trouble for them.

For example, the Sanshenhui branch inside was his main target, because among all the gangsters, he was the one who was most dissatisfied with him.

When Naoki Hanyu returned to the police station, he suddenly saw a hot girl dressed strangely standing at the door of the police station and he was afraid to go in.

This situation is quite common. This woman probably wanted to call the police, but she had some problems of her own, so she didn't dare to go in and actually call the police.

"Mai, go and take care of it."

"Yes."

Fujiwara Mai walked over and asked gently.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I, I, didn't."

Seeing that the woman wanted to leave, Fujiwara Mai immediately added.

"We can sit down and talk slowly. Don't worry, I just want to help you."

Finally the hot girl nodded and agreed, it seemed that she really wanted help.
.
30 minutes later, Fujiwara Mai returned to the police station to report the situation.

"Senior, the young lady just now is probably an aid worker. We have been cracking down on her these past few days and she didn't dare to come in because she was afraid of being arrested. Also, she wanted to report her friend missing."

"A missing persons case?"

This is the first time that Naoki Hanyu has heard of someone reporting a missing person since he took office. In a place like Kabukicho, which is densely populated and full of shady industries, it is really difficult to determine how many people are missing and whether they are considered missing.

Originally, these homeless or runaway people were not registered, so even if they disappeared that day, few people would notice it. After all, you don’t know whether they are missing or have returned to their hometown, or continue to wander somewhere else.

It would be too much of a hassle to investigate. We don't know their identities, and many of them use pseudonyms. No director has conducted a large-scale investigation in more than 10 years. "Tell me more about them."

"It's like this. Some time ago, her friend said that she found a sponsor to support her for a few days, but he hasn't shown up until yesterday. Until yesterday, she received a voice message saying that the friend had found a good home and left Kabukicho, and didn't want to contact the friend who had been falling into depravity. The lady thought that she had a good relationship with her friend and that the other party would definitely not leave without even saying hello, so she called the police."

Whether he became a good person or lost his freedom, this is a really difficult case to investigate.

Naoki Hanyu asked with a frown.

"Did you get the personal information of her friend?"

Fujiwara Mai shook her head.

"No, they met after wandering around Kabukicho. Although it's been two years, I'm not sure if she used her real name. I only have some photos."

Naoki Hanyu was speechless when he saw the so-called photos. Every one of them showed her with heavy makeup, so it was really unknown whether the facial recognition could pass.

"Understood. The preliminary investigation of this case will be handed over to your three teams. Once it is confirmed that the target is missing, it will be handed over to the Criminal Division."

Fujiwara Mai had no objection to this. After all, she was the patrol team leader at the moment, not a criminal police officer, and her most important responsibility was to maintain public order.

After Fujiwara Mai left, Hanyu Naoki's face became solemn.

At first, he really didn't expect that there would be such a big loophole in his jurisdiction. Young vagrants, who are young and energetic, and some of them are even pretty, are definitely high-quality products in the eyes of criminals.

So how many of these homeless people go missing every year, single digits, double digits, or even more?

Does it require a large amount of police manpower to investigate?
Or just ignore it like your ex?

Maybe I'm just worrying too much?
After thinking about it, he decided to investigate, but he couldn't do it in a high-profile manner, so he called over the relatively idle leader of the riot squad, Ryosuke Shiraishi.

"Ryosuke, your mobile team should secretly check if there are any similar cases in Kabukicho. If there are, who was the last person to come into contact with them?"

Shiraishi Ryosuke looked at the document and nodded. As expected, the boss couldn't sit still after taking up his new position.

Shiraishi Ryosuke's method is actually very simple, which is to blend in with the gray crowd.

The next day in Toyoko Plaza, several "teenagers" who did not look young mixed into different circles to inquire about the situation, and then unintentionally said that a friend was missing to see if anyone could resonate with their story.

Some even more ruthless people would directly contact the "delivery girl", establish a good relationship with her and then make indirect attempts.

As time went by, the whole Kabukicho seemed calm.

However, it is not so easy for Naoki Hanyu. With the efforts of the police, the identity of the missing person has been confirmed. She is Ryoko Ichimura, 26 years old, who came to Tokyo from her hometown alone to work hard.

He had an unstable job and was able to get by, but he was fired and got into trouble, so he started hanging out in Kabukicho all year round.

Apart from working part-time in a restaurant, the rest of his income comes from teaching.

It has now been confirmed that she is missing, but it is very troublesome to find out how to investigate. Fortunately, this troublesome matter has been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Division 2.

However, the information found by Shiraishi Ryosuke was more important. There were thousands of people engaged in the gray industry in Kabukicho, and several similar disappearance cases were discovered in just one week.

I don’t know if it’s accurate or not, but people I know suddenly disappear and then send messages saying they want to leave Kabukicho and start over.

Although some people keep in touch frequently, the communication is limited to text or voice. They have never answered a video call, either saying they are busy or have no signal.

In the police station chief's office, Naoki Hanyu compared the information obtained by Shiraishi Ryosuke with the information secretly given by Miura Konosuke, and identified the two most suspected gangsters.

The first-ranked Sanshinkai and the fourth-ranked Kimurakai.

These two companies have the most prostitution shops in Kabukicho, which are also pimp shops.

These shops also cooperate with men and women wandering around Kabukicho to introduce customers, that is, they take commissions from the intermediaries.

The type of person who is most likely to attack the target is the intermediary responsible for contact.

If it was a customer who did it, they would know something about it, but if it was them, it would be difficult for others to know.

"Ryosuke, I will call for help from outside, and you will cooperate with each other then."

"Ok."

Of course, Naoki Hanyu will not eat alone. If he finds a big fish, he will definitely contact someone to help him share the pressure.

So he hurriedly took the two documents to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, and without any hesitation, he directly contacted his two superiors to have a talk in the conference room.

In the closed conference room, Shiratori Tenei sat on the left, Jingu Futaba sat on the right, and Hanyu Naoki was in the middle.

Jingu Futaba said in a bad tone.

"Inspector Hanyu, we don't need to bother the Criminal Division with our regional division's case."

Shiratori Tianrong also has no good attitude towards women who steal his clients.

"Your regional department can only handle minor cases. The major cases still rely on my criminal department."

"What are you talking about? Tokyo's stability is all thanks to my regional department."

"Really? Then you should be promoted soon."

"."

Jingu Futaba looked at the other person with cold eyes. If possible, she also wanted to be the director of the Criminal Department, because this position had the greatest chance of moving up to a higher level.
