Tokyo Detective

Chapter 260: Political changes, Tian Zongshisan becomes prime minister
The next day, the neon lights were much more turbulent than yesterday. The Prime Minister and many important figures were blown up along with the shrine, shocking the citizens of Tokyo for the first time in a long time. It seemed that the limit of their tolerance had been exceeded again.

There was even more noise on the Internet, with many videos of Reaper drones popping up like mushrooms after a rain.

Whether it was the flight to the sacred toilet in the early stage, or the bombing of the sacred toilet filmed by the female students of Bai Baihe Academy, the drone dodging the Stinger missile, or even the final battle between the drone and the fighter jet, the videos of the entire process were posted online and discussed by people all over the world.

"Tsk tsk, I think it was done by America. I have done some research on drones. This is obviously America's latest Reaper drone. Some parts are obviously different."

"I don't agree with what the second floor said. I think it's Japan's own doing. It's not the first time. A while ago, it was either Apache or Miss Tank. Now it's not impossible for the country to take off the Reaper drone."

"Third floor, don't forget that America also has troops stationed in Neon."

"Fourth floor, tell me America's motive. I looked up information that the current Neon Prime Minister is very close to America. Tell me why America would risk the world's condemnation to kill a prime minister. On the contrary, the hostile party has a great reason. This is not the first time."

"I agree."

"I object."

"."

"I think it's Da Mao or some mysterious big country."

"Get lost, we in India don't bother to care about you."

Even the Internet police cannot suppress this kind of topic. Not only do the Internet police not have the energy to do so, the government also does not have the time or the time to deal with public opinion issues, because the mess left behind by the Prime Minister's death is the most serious.

The Neon Cabinet must first designate a member to become the interim prime minister, which is usually the deputy prime minister. However, this time the deputy prime minister does not want to do so, and other cabinet members must also resign.

So after going around in circles, the position was handed to Tanaka Jusan. Defense Minister Tanaka Jusan was stunned. He had his resignation letter in his pocket, and you told me I can get a promotion now.

He thought that he would not have to apologize to the public after resigning. After all, three times the same thing would happen. If he apologized too much, it would seriously affect his retirement life. He also wanted to tease some old ladies. After all, his wife had died for more than 20 years, and now he was thrown the mess to a retired old man.
.
Tanaka Jusan roared in the cabinet meeting.

“I don’t want to be interim prime minister.”

The finance minister responded blandly.

"Minister Tanaka, the bottom line is that you, as the Minister of Defense, are responsible for the government's fall to this state and the Prime Minister's murder. First there were helicopters, then anti-aircraft missiles, tanks, and now even Reaper drones have appeared to kill the Prime Minister. May I ask, have you, as the Minister of Defense, played a role?"

"."

The Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare agreed.

"Yes, Neon's defenses have been pierced like a sieve. Minister Tanaka, you are responsible."

"."

Tanaka Jusan was speechless due to the constant criticism from both of you. He didn't want to do it either. There have been many improvements, so why did this kind of thing still happen? Does it mean that installing an air defense system in the city center is enough?

Transport Minister Yukiyo Shirai reminded.

“Let’s vote.”

"I agree."

Tanaka Jusan slammed the table and refused.

"I don't agree."

"I agree."

"."

"13 votes in favor, 3 abstained and 1 rejected. The Cabinet decided that Minister Tanaka will serve as interim prime minister and be responsible for maintaining the country until a new prime minister is elected."

Tanaka Jusan instantly collapsed in his seat. These bastards actually made him take the blame.

The Neon Constitution and Cabinet Law have already made it clear that whenever the prime minister's position is vacant, all cabinet members must resign immediately and elect an acting president to continue handling daily affairs until a new cabinet is formed. The new prime minister is also a surprise choice from the ruling party.

Anyone who takes the blame as interim prime minister will have no chance of becoming the new prime minister.

When Tanaka Jusan thought about the upcoming press conference and being criticized by everyone, he felt that his life was hopeless.

He will become Japan's sinner, the biggest sinner in the past 30 years, and he will not have the face to stay in politics in the future.

A day later, the cabinet received even more terrible news. The opposition party joined other parties to launch a vote of no confidence, demanding the dissolution of parliament and new elections.

Originally, the ruling party had only 3.7% of the members in the House of Representatives, and the opposition party had 3.3%. It was only when the ruling party joined forces with the third and fourth largest parties that it came to power.

Unexpectedly, today the opposition party instigated other allies to formally initiate a vote of no confidence. After the incident with the sacred toilet, there is no doubt that the ruling party's support rate will plummet.

Among them, Tanaka Jusan was the most speechless. If you let me be the interim prime minister, you should at least let me serve for more than a month. But now there will be a new election in a week, and it is estimated that the new prime minister will be born in more than 10 days.

After taking all the blame, you kicked me away. That's too much of a bully.

I think the other ministers knew about this, so they promoted him to be cannon fodder. It's so despicable. They really think I'm easy to bully.

Thinking of this, Tanaka Jusan fell silent as he sat in the Prime Minister's Office. He got up from his seat twice, which made people seem like he was easy to bully, making people forget that he was famous for enforcing the law impartially and not fearing bloodshed.

He still remembered that his daughter, grandchildren and great-granddaughters asked him last night that since their grandfather had become the interim prime minister, could their family live in the official residence, which is where only the prime minister can live. According to the current schedule, they would have to move out after a few days of living there.

At this moment the door was pushed open and the Chief Cabinet Secretary said respectfully.

"Prime Minister, the press conference is about to begin. Please leave."

Tanaka Jusan's body trembled a few times and he spoke with a pale face.

"Sawamura, I'll let you be the temporary prime minister, okay?"

"Prime Minister, please stop joking."

"You go out first."

"Yes."

In the empty office, Tanaka Jusan touched the chair and table. He never thought that he would ascend to the throne he had always dreamed of in this way. It was really fate. Since the times pushed him forward and took the blame, he also wanted to leave a deep impression in the Japanese political arena and even the world. He, Tanaka Jusan, was a man and would not stand bullied and dare not fight back.

Tanaka Jusan opened the closet and took out the clothes he brought from home. As expected, he still liked this dress the best.

Soon there was another knock on the door.

"Prime Minister, we can start now."

"I see."

The door was pushed open and Tanaka Jusan walked out in a kimono, stunning all the cabinet secretariat members. Why would the prime minister appear in a kimono? It was too strange.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary asked hesitantly.

"Prime Minister, what are you doing?"

"Since we are apologizing to the people of the whole country, we must follow the etiquette of apology."

"No, Prime Minister, you are"

Tanaka Jusan interrupted.

"Sawamura, you don't have to say anything."

"Yes."

The Chief Cabinet Secretary had a lot of things he wanted to say in rebuttal, but the other party was the interim prime minister. Although he did not have the power to dissolve parliament, he could still make things difficult for him.

Under countless cameras, Tanaka Juzo appeared at the press conference in a kimono, which stunned all the reporters. This was the first time in 20 years that someone had attended a press conference in a kimono.

"Everyone, you all know what happened the day before yesterday. Please allow me to pay tribute to the late Prime Minister here."

As Tanaka Jusan lowered his head, the others also lowered their heads.

Tanaka Jusan then gave his account of the events and his analysis, but he did not read exactly from the script, instead he said something different.

First, he mentioned the words that were deleted from the manuscript about the suspected America drone, and then he also mentioned the cause of the F35 crash. He told the whole story sincerely without forgetting any detail.

The cabinet members next to him were confused again. Is the interim prime minister so brave? He said everything he should and shouldn’t say.

You can see that the American ambassador to Japan’s face has turned blue in the audience. You can imagine how much this press conference slapped America in the face.

In the end, Tanaka Juzo resigned in front of the people of the country, not because he was the interim prime minister, but because he did not do his job well as the Minister of Defense.

"I am really sorry. I don't know why these thugs attacked. As a former defense minister, I am really sorry. It was my incompetence that led to this. I apologize to the people here."

"."

The old man's frail body looked pitiful. The whole audience fell silent at this moment. This was something they had never thought of happening. It was the first time for a prime minister of a country to step down in front of people. After all, the prime minister represents the dignity of the whole country.

This scene was broadcast by all TV stations, even Tokyo TV, a TV station that was always broadcasting anime.

So this kneeling had a strange effect. People on the Internet began to sympathize with the new prime minister, especially after checking his experience, he used to be a firefighter.

Even Naoki Hanyu, who was watching TV in the police station office, was shocked. As the interim prime minister, he actually stepped down from his seat. Could this man be an immortal?

At this moment, a group of old acquaintances appeared in the police station office. They were from the Public Security Section of the Security Department. The woman leading them was my old friend Yukiko Muromachi. I heard that this woman had already been promoted.

In the future, he will either be the section chief of an important department or the first counselor of the security department.

"Inspector Hanyu, please come back with us and assist in the investigation. This is the assistance order from the Security Committee."

After taking a look, Naoki Hanyu had no choice but to follow. With this investigation warrant, there was no need to show him any evidence to allow him to follow and assist in the investigation.

It seems that the higher-ups are really anxious and have started casting a wide net in the hope of finding some clues, and he, who just happens to have some grudges with Iwata Tensaku, is the target.

On the police car, Naoki Hanyu looked at the dignified girl with glasses next to him.

“Can we chat in the car?”

"Cheng Hai is my confidant, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The female police officer driving the car is a confidant. It seems that Yukiko Muromachi is not alone as she was at the Ota Police Station.

“How many people assisted in the investigation this time?”

"313 people, all those related to the 18 deaths in the Shinto toilet incident, are under investigation. The main force is the Public Security Division of the National Police Agency, and our Public Security Division of the Metropolitan Police Department is just assisting."

"It seems that my suspicion is still quite small."

Yukiko Muromachi turned her head and met the other person's eyes.

"You had an alibi the day before yesterday, but in my opinion, you are more likely to be suspected given your ability."

Although Naoki Hanyu appeared calm on the surface, he was actually a little touched inside. After all, this woman was really powerful.

"We are good friends, but you look at me like this."

"hehe."

Naoki Hanyu touched his opponent with his shoulder.

"How about we go have dinner together after we're done?"

"That depends on whether you cooperate or not."

The driver, Sadako Hiraumi, looked at the interaction between the two with a strange look on her face. It was really strange, as they seemed to have a very good relationship.

Given Kiko's personality, she would have avoided suspicion if assigned to such a job, so why did she accept the job of investigating Hanyu Naoki?
