Tokyo Detective

Chapter 322 You self-destructed, I didn't force you.
Inside the Toyota, Yao Reiko was blindfolded and gagged, and her legs and hands were tied up.

At this moment, the beautiful woman who had already sold four babies felt extremely panicked, her face turned pale and her lips turned white as she trembled uncontrollably.

I was just selling a few babies who had never met their parents. They hadn't even spent time together, so they probably didn't have much of a relationship with them. It wasn't a big crime, so why did I have to suffer like this?

Reiko Yao comforted herself in this way, but as the road ahead began to jolt, she finally began to repent.

She didn't know she was wrong; she knew she was going to die.

I was wrong, I was wrong. If I can get through this ordeal, I will turn myself in to help find my child and atone for my sins.

The car suddenly stopped, and she could hear the terrifying man in the driver's seat suddenly get out, followed by curses and gunshots, as well as several different screams. The gunshots that were so close at hand terrified Reiko Yao into losing control of her bladder.

The gunfire quickly stopped, and three different footsteps approached. Reiko Yao could tell that there were two leather shoes and one cloth shoe.

Then came the voice of a strange man.

"I never thought someone would actually cause trouble for our Longgao Group. These guys don't even know how to spell 'death'."

"Hey, there's still a woman here who's awake."

"We're going to kill her anyway. Didn't Wen Tai say this woman isn't trustworthy? Let's take her back and let the brothers have some fun with her before killing her. After all, she's pretty sexy."

"Good idea, but I can't bring myself to do it since this woman has lost control of her bladder."

"Just go back and wash up. If you really don't want to go, you can just watch from the side."

The open and aboveboard words filled Reiko Yao with despair. No, she didn't want to be gang-raped before she died; that would be too miserable.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out again, and one of the men screamed in agony.

"what."

"Those guys dare to come back? Kill them all."

"cover."

"bang bang bang"

The sound of shattering glass and a hole being punched through the seat rang out. Suddenly, Reiko Yao felt her bound legs loosen, and her calves felt a burning sensation. This was because a bullet had broken the plastic straps binding her legs and also scraped off some skin.

We have to escape; otherwise, we will definitely die.

Reiko Yao fumbled for the car door to open, then ran in the opposite direction of the gunshot.

She didn't know if she could escape, but she just tried her best to run.

This scene was being watched by several figures. Although these people were all masked, they actually looked exactly the same. It was none other than Naoki Hanyu and his clones.

All of this was to stage a grand performance, forcing Yao Reiko to flee and even call the police.

Their current location is at Sayamako Reservoir in Higashi-Yamato City, Tokyo. It is the largest reservoir and the largest and most forested park in Tokyo, so there are few people passing by in the early morning. It was also a location carefully chosen by Naoki Hanyu.

Undeterred by the gunfire, Yao Lingzi kept running until she accidentally slipped and fell into the water. It was only with great difficulty that she managed to remove the blindfold.

The soaked chicken looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, and the sound of gunfire coming from the park road in the distance made him even more frightened and he ran faster.

Just as Reiko Yai climbed ashore, a car headlight suddenly shone from her left. The sound of the car grew closer and closer, which startled Reiko Yai so much that she lost her footing and fell back into the water.

The vehicle stopped, and Naoki Hanyu walked to the riverbank, which was a meter deep, and asked a question.

"Miss, are you alright? Did something happen?"

Reiko Yao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thankfully it wasn't a thug, and quickly climbed up.

"Sir, please help me! There's someone over there!"

Reiko Yao paused here, unsure whether to call the police, but if they caught someone from the Ryugao Group, they might be able to find out that she was a human trafficker.

In Japan, human traffickers are usually sentenced to 5 to 15 years in prison. Since she had already cooperated with others to traffic four babies, she would face at least 10 years in prison.

Naoki Hanyu suddenly opened the car door.

"I don't know if you're in trouble, or if you're having sex with your boyfriend in the open. Would you like me to take you back to the city?"

"Oh, thank you for your help."

Reiko Yao sat down in the car, soaking wet. As the vehicle moved away from the shooting location, her heart finally calmed down.

Just then, Naoki Hanyu spoke up.

"If you encounter any trouble, please let me know. My name is Naoki Hanyu, and I am the head of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"what"

Reiko Yao was startled and cried out, then quickly tried to hide her panic.

"My name is Reiko Yao. So you're Officer Hanyu? I've seen you on TV. How did you end up in Higashi-Yamato City?"

“I own a hot spring hotel in the Toyotani area. I just came back from a bath and passed by here.”

"So that's how it is. I didn't actually encounter any trouble."

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the woman through the rearview mirror.

"The plastic cable ties on your hands are still there, and the marks on your feet don't look like you're alright."

"I... I was just having fun."

Reiko Yao forced a smile; she couldn't find a better reason.

Just then, the sound of a vehicle came from behind, along with the familiar sound of a Toyota engine.

Are they catching up?
Reiko Yao turned around and was immediately panicked.

"Run! They're coming!"

"If anyone dares to chase after me, I have a gun."

"They have guns too, and more than one! Run!" *Bang bang bang*

Gunshots rang out, and Naoki Hanyu stepped on the gas and sped away, startling Reiko Yao in the back seat who screamed.

"Slow down, I'm going to die."

The Hummer quickly left the Toyota behind, and only then did Naoki Hanyu have a chance to speak to Reiko Yao.

"Miss Yao, you still say there's no trouble?"

"."

Are you worried about getting implicated?

Reiko Yao's body trembled, and she looked in alarm at the driver's seat, while Naoki Hanyu explained calmly.

"Those vehicles chasing you and firing indiscriminately are definitely going to kill you. If you don't dare to call the police, you're very likely to be implicated, or even become one of them. Am I right?"

"."

Seeing that the time was right, Naoki Hanyu finally revealed his true intentions.

"According to the judicial citation in the Criminal Procedure Law, as long as you provide other criminal evidence or information as a tainted witness, you can have your sentence reduced by 50% to 70%. If a major criminal group is really dismantled, you can get a suspended sentence or even be released from prosecution."

This is due to the judicial cooperation system introduced in the revised Criminal Procedure Law of 2018. In other words, before 2018, Japan's laws regarding tainted witnesses were not comprehensive, but now they are different. This is also the reason why Naoki Hanyu is confident in turning this woman to his side.

Eight-tailed Reiko was about to speak but stopped.

"I"

"No need to rush. You can tell me where you live before I take you home. I won't meddle if you don't need me to. After all, I've been very busy these past few days. You've heard about the Arakawa Bridge case a few days ago, right? I've been busy with that."

This nonchalant attitude actually made Yao Reiko want to speak up.

My home is in Nakano Ward, Tokyo.

As the vehicle drew closer to Nakano Ward in Tokyo, Reiko Yao was torn between telling the truth and remaining silent. It wasn't always possible to encounter a good cop like Naoki Hanyu.

Indeed, after more than three years of promotion, Naoki Hanyu's glorious image has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. At least in the eyes of passers-by, this police hero would risk his life for justice.

The vehicle stops.

"We've arrived. Miss Yao, what's your decision? Would you like to get off?"

Looking at the familiar streets, Reiko Yao finally made up her mind.

She was persuaded by Naoki Hanyu that even if her sentence was reduced by half, she would only serve a few years and might not even be 35 years old when she got out. Moreover, she knew that this was definitely a major case and that she might not be able to get a suspended sentence or even be released without prosecution.

"Mr. Yuzuru, I'll tell you everything about me."

As Reiko Yao recounted the whole story, Naoki Hanyu gained a deeper understanding of this nefarious supply chain.

The head of obstetrics at Tenyo Hospital, Bunta Minami, along with two midwives, were involved. Reiko Yao was the last to join, because one of the midwives had retired, which is why Minami approached her.

Besides claiming newborn babies are dead, they also use similar methods to obtain babies, such as using drugs to induce terminal symptoms in infants and then getting parents to sign a form relinquishing the baby.

Even if parents become suspicious, they have ways to deceive them.

For example, placing the baby on their side on the bed simulates the womb environment, making the baby feel familiar and safe, thus preventing them from crying.

At this point, the parents are allowed to come into the intensive care unit to see their child. Seeing that the newborn baby is not crying, the parents will be more convinced that the baby has a terminal illness.

Reiko Yao also revealed that the director of Tenyo Hospital was selling birth certificates. They would find clients online, and as long as you provided information and 300 million yen, you could buy a birth certificate. They could also create files for mothers and create vaccination records for babies, completely covering up the fact that the children were being trafficked.

Naoki Hanyu listened to everything expressionlessly. He really wanted to draw his gun and shoot the human trafficker with the deep gray name in front of him, but since the other party was still useful, his avatar was also interrogating Bunta Nanri in the secret base.

Naoki Hanyu brought Reiko Yao back to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters. He first personally took Reiko Yao's statement, and then called the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department's Protection and Management Division to have them send someone to protect Reiko Yao.

While this department may not be as capable of handling cases as the Criminal Investigation Department, they are experts in protecting witnesses.

Next came the real business. Naoki Hanyu picked up his phone and called Mai Fujiwara. The policewoman on the other end of the line was wearing hot pants and a tank top and looked drowsy. Her tank top had slipped down, revealing her private parts.

"Hey, who's calling so late at night? Don't you get any sleep?"

"Fujiwara Mai, you need to come back to work immediately."

The familiar voice woke Fujiwara Mai up, but being called back to work overtime in the early hours of the morning was something no human being could do.

"Can't you call someone else 'senior'?"

"This is a major case. If you don't want to get involved, you don't have to come."

"A major case? Coming right away."

Fujiwara Mai hurriedly dressed and headed to headquarters. Fortunately, she was staying in the Metropolitan Police Department dormitory, and not the kind of dormitory along the subway lines in Nakano Ward, Setagaya Ward, and Nerima Ward where ordinary police officers live.

As Naoki Hanyu's apprentice, she lives in a high-class police dormitory not far from headquarters in Chiyoda Ward, a two-bedroom apartment. In Chiyoda Ward, you can't expect to live in such a place for less than 40 yen a month.

Soon, Mai Fujiwara rushed back, panting, along with another section chief assistant, Shinnosuke Nobi.

"Senior, I'm here."

"Section Chief, please make the arrangements."

Naoki Hanyu showed the two of them Reiko Yao's statement.

"Immediately call back all the staff in Department 1 and Department 2 who haven't been working overtime. We have a big case in the First Investigation Division. Mai, call Seiko and tell her to come back and work overtime."

As for the third and fourth departments, they were also referred to because of the cases they were involved in.

Fujiwara Mai was instantly excited after reading the statement, but then a look of displeasure crossed her face as she thought about her job. She didn't want to make 200 phone calls, as calling people back to work late at night would be very offensive.

But what could be done? She was just a temporary assistant.
