Tokyo Detective

Chapter 325 Beware of those who play dirty tricks
Meanwhile, on the other side, Anzai Eizaburo followed Kitano Kenichi, walking and talking.

"Saburo, don't be discouraged. Ever since Director Domoto was killed, Shiratori Ten'ei has been acting recklessly, treating the Criminal Investigation Department as his own. His influence within it is growing every day, and he even wants the next two department heads to be his own people. But you are the department head now. If you take it slow, you will be able to take control of the Criminal Investigation Department sooner or later."

Anzai Eizaburo nodded solemnly and respectfully.

“Deputy Director, I’m not worried about the ownership of the Criminal Investigation Department. Even if I can’t intervene for the time being, I will be able to do so sooner or later with my abilities. What I am curious about is that Naoki Hanyu’s position in the Metropolitan Police Department seems unusual, unlike Shiratori Tensei’s ordinary confidant.”

Kenichi Kitano smiled and shook his head.

"Of course, what's most terrifying about that guy isn't his ability, but his money. He has over 100 billion in police funds, and not many people in the entire police department are willing to offend this money god."

I've even heard his net worth exceeds 1200 billion yen. If it weren't for Shiratori Ten'ei, I would have tried to recruit Hanyu Naoki. I really don't understand why someone so rich would become a policeman. I just don't get it from young people these days.

"Over 1200 billion?"

"Yes, a major shareholder of the Tokyo Central Bank."

This left Eizaburo Anzai stunned. 1000 billion yen would make someone a super-rich person in Japan, roughly the size of a medium-sized company. Not to mention the more sensitive issue of being a major bank shareholder.

Kenichi Kitano patted his junior colleague on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, he may be rich, but his political connections are far inferior to ours. His biggest backer is Shiratori Tensei. We should consolidate the Criminal Investigation Department and break Shiratori Tensei's wings."

"kindness."

After Kenichi Kitano left, Eizaburo Anzai suddenly took out a mobile phone and contacted a self-media person.

"I have some juicy material here, do you want to hear it?"

"Really?"

"Of course, but you know the rules."

"Of course, I will send the written copy to you for review. Don't worry, I am a grateful person."

"Remember to do it as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Anzai Eizaburo opened his eyes and revealed a sinister smile. In this day and age, even the police can use the power of social media, let alone someone like him who comes from a political family.

"Ah sneeze."

Anzai Eizaburo suddenly sneezed, and snot started running from his nose.

"How did you catch a cold?"

Anzai Eizaburo was a little puzzled as to why he had suddenly caught a cold when he hadn't been sick for two years.

"Never mind, let's go buy some medicine now."

He was unaware that he was cursed by Naoki Hanyu using the Ghost Ship Hunter title skill, and that he would be in a cold state for the next few days until the curse weakened.

Once Anzai Eizaburo returned from buying the medicine, he immediately convened a meeting with all available department heads and above from the Criminal Investigation Department.

The Criminal Division comprises the General Affairs Section, Investigation Section 1, Investigation Section 2, Investigation Section 3, Investigation Assistance Section, Forensic Science Section, Scientific Investigation Research Section, Investigation Support and Analysis Center, and Mobile Investigation Team.

The search division has nearly 500 personnel, the search division has 400 personnel, the search division has more than 300 personnel, and the mobile search team has 300 personnel.

Other classes have anywhere from dozens to 200 students, while the entire Criminal Investigation Department has nearly 2000 students.

As Anzai Eizaburo had predicted, the First and Second Sections treated him coldly at the meeting, making it difficult to win them over.

However, one thing made Anzai Eizaburo frown: it seemed that Hanyu Naoki had a good relationship with Kikyo Yuru, the captain of the Mobile Investigation Team.

The Mobile Investigation Unit is the third largest department in the Criminal Investigation Department, and the chief of the unit holds the rank of Superintendent General.

If the information is correct, this sweet-looking and beautiful policewoman was promoted this year and is 38 years old.

Kikyo Yuru is a junior and friend of Sakata Ryoma, Naoki Hanyu's former boss. She lost her husband 7 years ago and has never remarried. She lives with her son and a female friend with whom she has a close relationship.

Naoki Hanyu certainly wouldn't miss the chance to build a good relationship with her. Not only is she beautiful and sweet, but she's also a widow, and in the future, she'll be an important subordinate of his successor as head of the Criminal Investigation Department. So, he, as a police officer, used Sakata Ryoma's name to establish a good relationship in advance.

The two chatted and laughed as they talked about getting autographs.

"I can have as many autographs as I want, or how about inviting me to Qitai's birthday party?"

Keita Kikyo, the 8-year-old son of Yuru Kikyo, is also a loyal fan of Naoki Hanyu.

Kikyo Yuru was surprised; were their relationships really that good?
"Are you sure it's okay? I've been very busy lately."

“It’s no problem to take some time out of your way. After all, the next case will require the cooperation of your mobile investigation team, so of course I want to win over the beautiful captain.”

"Then I'll trouble you."

Kikyo Yuru looked at the spirited young man in front of her and was filled with emotion. She still remembered the first time they met when the Yuzhong Police Station was attacked.

At the time, she was the captain of the Mobile Investigation Team One, with the rank of police inspector, while the other was just a patrol officer and a junior criminal investigator. Now, he is not only at the same rank, but even in a better position than her.

Kikyo Yuru was unaware that her actions had already labeled her as belonging to the "non-fake Yuzuru faction" in the new minister's mind.

The meeting ended quickly, and Naoki Hanyu suddenly brought up the topic of the participants in the special task force.

"Minister, how many people can I transfer to the task force?"

Anzai Eizaburo replied with a smile.

"Just transfer people from the First Investigation Division, the Second Investigation Division, and the Mobile Investigation Team. You can communicate yourselves to see how many people you can transfer, and then give me a list."

"Yes."

Naoki Hanyu understood Eizaburo Anzai's plan: to get rid of the troublemakers so that he could consolidate the departments that were easier to win over. Those departments had backup plans planted by Ten'ei Shiratori, so they were not so easy to win over.

Naoki Hanyu extended his hand to Yuru Kikyo. "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Captain Kikyo."

"I'm the one who should be troubling you; it's not a small amount of money."

The so-called "small amount of money" refers to the money that Naoki Hanyu allocated from the police fund to the Mobile Investigation Unit to purchase new police cars.

The Mobile Search and Rescue Team is a department that is constantly on patrol, so its vehicle requirements are no less than those of the Traffic Division, but it also has fewer opportunities to apply for new vehicles than the Traffic Division.

In the afternoon, the task force used the largest conference room in the Metropolitan Police Department, with more than 300 detectives from the Criminal Investigation Department alone participating, along with personnel from the Security Department, Regional Department, and even other police stations.

The operation involved more than 600 police officers, which is a significant number even by a ten-year timeframe.

As the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Anzai Eizaburo sat below, looking at the man on the stage. His squinting eyes couldn't help but open. This opportunity to establish his authority and fame was originally his, but that damned Hanyu Naoki.

However, his targeting will be quick; let's see what Naoki Hanyu does then.

Naoki Hanyu turned on the projector and introduced the case to everyone.

"Everyone, please silence your phones. This is about the case."

Before Naoki Hanyu could finish speaking, Mai Fujiwara suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"Senior, something terrible has happened!"

"what's up?"

"Look at this video."

Naoki Hanyu took his apprentice's phone and saw a video of a male content creator on social media talking animatedly.

"Welcome to Abe's Case Talk. Today we'll be discussing the latest case from yesterday. It's a very rare case, so please watch this video."

Then, the process of arresting human trafficker Chishima Hana was shown, with the faces of the people in the video blurred out.

"This happened yesterday. The police arrested Ms. Chishima on charges of baby trafficking. I looked into it and found a terrible secret. Ms. Chishima is a retired midwife from Tenyo Hospital. I heard that she conspired with doctors to deceive pregnant women and their families by saying that there was something wrong with the baby, which led to the trafficking of babies. Yesterday, obstetrician Minami Fumita had his home searched by the police, and Tenyo Hospital was also searched."

Next, UP will chat about this and that, and finally conclude with a short statement.

"In other words, there may be more than one hospital in Tokyo that is trafficking babies. Pregnant women and their families should be careful. The police may also crack down on these dark industries."

"."

Naoki Hanyu frowned after reading it. The case he was in charge of had been alerted. It would have been better if those human traffickers hadn't seen it, because if they had, they would definitely have destroyed the evidence just in case.

This means that a case that originally required only 1 point of effort will now require 10 points, and will take much longer.

Masakatsu Abe, that's the name of the content creator.

Naoki Hanyu glanced at Eizaburo Anzai, who was resting with his eyes closed, and then handed the phone back to Mai Fujiwara and gave him instructions.

"Immediately order this person to undergo investigation to see if there is enough evidence to prosecute him for leaking secrets and obstructing official duties."

Mai Fujiwara nodded vigorously, then led her squad of female police officers to check the uploader's address.

"Yes, I'll go now."

The conversation between the two was overheard by nearby police officers, and many people watched Naoki Hanyu, who was in charge.

“There has been a slight problem, but we will proceed according to plan. There are a total of 58 suspects. All teams, please move out immediately.”

"Yes."

Naoki Hanyu really wanted to arrest all the suspects and slowly assist in the investigation, but unfortunately he couldn't do so without search warrants and arrest warrants.

The laws in Japan are somewhat different from those in other Eastern countries. Without evidence and an arrest warrant, it is impossible to bring someone back to the police station to assist in the investigation.

Although there is a procedure called "voluntary companionship," which allows police to request individuals to voluntarily come to the police station to assist in investigations based on "reasonable suspicion," individuals have the right to refuse.

So if a suspect expresses unwillingness, there's really nothing you can do about it. You can only continue the investigation to find new evidence or illegally coerce the suspect, but that's against the law.

The Eastern powers, however, have different methods in this regard, including summoning and detaining.

A summons is a request for a suspect to voluntarily go to a designated place to assist in an investigation based on preliminary clues. Although a summons warrant is required, it can be given verbally first and then formally issued later.

The summons is said to be voluntary, but if you refuse, the police have a next step: to arrest you in response to your involuntary decision.

If the police believe that you "fail to appear in court without a valid reason after being summoned", they can forcibly detain you. So it's better to cooperate with the investigation. You can usually leave within 12 hours, and at most 24 hours.

Whether your reason is legitimate or not is up to the police to decide.

Most of the people in the meeting room left, and Naoki Hanyu and Eizaburo Anzai exchanged a glance and also left with their entourage.

He had a vague feeling that someone was targeting him, but he didn't have time to deal with those petty people right now because he had more important things to do.

Some people believe that letting the human traffickers know the danger will disrupt their plans, unaware that they already have a target ready to be killed.

"People from the First and Fourth Departments, follow me. Miwako, where is Seiko?"

Miwako Sato then left the conference hall.

"She's still sleeping in the lounge. I'll go wake her up now."

"sorry to bother you."

Although he felt sorry for Akimoto Seiko, who hadn't slept for several days, the contribution to this major case was so important that he had to let his girlfriend suffer.
