Tokyo Detective

Chapter 363 If ​​you're an elder, then become a member of Congress (Long Chapter)
Ryoko Yakushiji left without lingering, leaving the space to the two people who seemed to have a story to tell.

"Naoki, I'm leaving this to you."

"kindness"

Kana Sakura remained unresponsive, staring blankly at the cup. She was still in Tokyo at noon and hadn't returned home, so when the police approached her and asked her to assist with the investigation, she was completely bewildered after hearing the whole story.

Three days ago, my casual sex partner wiped out my entire family. My only direct blood relative, my grandfather, was also beaten to death by the other party. Well, he was actually already dead before the beating.

She hated her grandfather who killed her father, and even loathed the entire cold-blooded family, but when she lost everything, she felt lost.

Whether she should be happy or sad, she didn't know. All she knew was that from today onward, she had no home, even if that home was something she hated.

Naoki Hanyu sat opposite the woman and tapped the table.

"Hana, you can leave now."

"leave?"

Sakura Hana looked up at the man in front of her who seemed very unfamiliar. Just three days ago, he was holding her tenderly and saying many sweet words. Why would he do something like annihilating her clan today? Perhaps his approach was all intentional.

"I am the granddaughter of the culprit. According to you, my other uncle is also wanted by your police. Under such circumstances, why are you letting me go?"

Naoki Hanyu nodded quietly, without a trace of emotion, and he felt no guilt whatsoever.

“There is no such thing as collective punishment in modern times. The police have also investigated and found that 132 people will be released in the next two days, and 89 children from the foster care facility will be arranged to be adopted by an orphanage.”

132 people?
Sakura Hana remembers that, excluding the children in the training center, the Sakura family had a total of 265 people, so half of them were either dead or arrested.
But now she wants to know something more: why does the other party think he is innocent? It's impossible to come to this conclusion without having investigated her beforehand. So, he really did approach her on purpose that night.

What makes you think I'm innocent?

Naoki Hanyu gave a reply without any expression.

"No matter what you have done, it is enough for me to believe that you are innocent."

"."

Sakura Kana's eyes widened in utter shock; these words were completely unexpected.

"I, you"

"As long as you don't think about revenge in the future, you can come to me if you need anything. Your assets have also been unfrozen."

双杀
Sakura Kana didn't know what to say; she was both flustered and touched.

At this moment, she felt like a traitor to her family. Why was she the only one to receive the tenderness from the person in front of her? Moreover, she didn't know how to face Naoki Hanyu. She hated him for destroying her family, but was also grateful to him for saving those innocent children.

"I, I, goodbye."

Kana Sakura fled in a panic, taking the wrong turn, and only came to her senses when Naoki Hanyu caught up and reminded her.

Now that she had regained her senses, the woman remembered the question she cared about.

"I want to help the children in the orphanage with my own money."

"Well, in that case, let's work together to create an orphanage."

Sakura Kana was stunned.

"Orphanage?"

"Yes, with my assets, I should build a welfare institution to enhance my social reputation. It just so happens that your family's children need an orphanage, so let's build one. That way, you can visit and take care of them often."

"."

Sakura Hana felt her mind go blank; the massacre of her clan at noon, and now they were talking about this in the evening.

The reason why it is said that the clan was wiped out is because the clan's true foundation and core members were all wiped out. But it's not entirely wiped out, at least she is still alive.

Regardless, the family cohesion is gone, and the 600-year-old aristocratic family exists in name only.

"Let me think about it some more, give me some time."

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Naoki Hanyu watched the woman leave quietly. He had many reasons for doing so. One was to keep the only martial arts master of the Sakura family in check and prevent her from turning evil and doing something that would make him need to kill her.

Secondly, they took in more than 80 orphans, all of whom were children of the Sakura bloodline, whose physique and martial arts talent were several levels higher than ordinary people.

Since I have saved their lives, why not use them to train future talents? Perhaps in a few days, there will be several more martial arts masters.

No, you can't say that. I just wanted to give those children a home, not train suicide soldiers.

The next step is to keep an eye on the remaining members of the Sakura family to prevent them from having any thoughts of revenge.

Those who should be arrested will be arrested, and those who refuse to repent will be secretly eliminated; he simply doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers behind.

Just then, Yakushiji Ryoko came to his side.

"You're connected to Sakura Kana too, aren't you?"

"No."

"I'm not your official girlfriend, lying to me won't help."

Naoki Hanyu refuted this with righteous indignation.

"No means no."

If sleeping together twice constitutes a relationship, then he has far too many relationships. However, I do owe Sakura Kana a "little" favor.

Ryoko Yakushiji rolled her eyes at the man; as a frontline detective, how could she not notice?

"Never mind, it's the Holy Son who should be troubled. Remember the press conference the day after tomorrow."

"Ah."

On the third day, the press conference defined the nature of the case, turning the Sakura family into a target of public condemnation, forcing some members of the Sakura family to leave Tokyo, and some police officers followed them there.

Naoki Hanyu's life seemed to have returned to normal. He usually sat in his office drinking tea and, when he felt too idle, would take on some cases.

Of course, there's also the waiting for the new boss to take office. I heard there are many candidates for the new Minister of Criminal Investigation, so I don't know when it will be over.

Regardless, as long as the new minister doesn't provoke him, everything will be fine. Ideally, a weak minister would be chosen so that he could be easily sidelined, but of course, that expectation is unlikely.
.
Lunchtime, Metropolitan Police Department cafeteria.

Naoki Hanyu was still accompanied by two high-ranking women: Seiko Akimoto and Yukiko Muromachi. The policewoman had been discharged from the hospital a couple of days ago; without Naoki Hanyu's treatment, she would probably have had to stay in bed for another month.

He was wearing a prosthetic limb and gloves, and you wouldn't know he was disabled unless you looked closely.

Akimoto Seiko took the meat from Hanyu Naoki's bowl and asked.

"Is the gift ready?"

Naoki Hanyu was taken aback for a moment before he remembered what was going on.

"I forgot to buy it, I'll buy it after get off work."

"I knew you'd forget when you got busy, so I prepared everything for you, including Mai's share."

"Thanks."

Yukiko Muromachi looked puzzled.

Whose birthday is it?

Seiko Akimoto answered calmly.

"He's the former chief of Yuzhong Police Station, my and Mai's old superior. He's also Naoki's mentor. We attend his birthday party every year. Yukiko, would you like to join us? The old man likes a lively atmosphere, so let's just treat it as a regular event."

Naoki Hanyu's mentor?
Yukiko Muromachi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll be bothering you then."

Naoki Hanyu glanced at Yukiko Muromachi, who had taken the meat from his bowl, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

He trusts his instincts.

On his birthday, Naoki Hanyu stood speechless in front of Kurosawa's house, his intuition having come true.

Beside him were not only Seiko Akimoto, Mai Fujiwara, and Yukiko Muromachi, but also Ryoko Yakushiji and Masami Matsumoto.

Who exactly told them this? Was it Seiko Akimoto, Yukiko Muromachi, or that traitor Mai Fujiwara?

He won't say it anyway, just to avoid a chaotic situation.

Seiko Akimoto and Ryoko Yakushiji exchanged a glance, then said with a smile.

"Naoki, why aren't you ringing the bell?"

What could Naoki Hanyu do but bite the bullet and ring the doorbell?

"Ding Dong."

Soon, a dignified old lady opened the door. She smiled brightly when she saw Naoki Hanyu, but she was stunned when she noticed the five women behind him. There were three more beautiful women this year.

The old lady's name is Kurosawa Suzune. She is the wife of Kurosawa Ryo, the former chief of the Hanyu Police Station. The two have no children, so Hanyu Naoki visits them every now and then.

"Madam, I apologize for disturbing you."

"Naoki, it's good that you're here. Also, Seiko and Mai, how should we address these three?"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Yukiko Muromachi."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Yakushiji Ryoko."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Masami Matsumoto."

Kurosawa Suzune warmly invited them inside.

"Come in quickly, the old man has been looking forward to your arrival, Naoki. He and some old friends are playing chess in the hall, just waiting for you to come and show off."

Naoki Hanyu scratched the back of his head; this had become an annual tradition.

The group put down their gifts and entered the hall, where they saw 63-year-old Kurosawa Ryo playing chess with several people of similar age, all of whom were Kurosawa Ryo's good friends and fellow police officers.

Upon seeing his apprentice arrive, Kurosawa Akira immediately pretended to knock over his chessboard, which was on the verge of being checkmated.

"Naoki, come here. Excuse me, old friends, I have to take my leave."

This made the old guys unhappy. They were all retired and spent their free time playing chess and fishing, so they knew their good friend's personality.

"You can't accept defeat," the old men said, but when they saw Naoki Hanyu, they couldn't help but show envy.

Of the six, their positions before retirement were either police inspector or police superintendent. Kurosawa Ryo offended people and had no connections, so he was always a substitute police inspector and was originally at the bottom of the list.

But who would have guessed that this old guy would be so lucky, managing to train a dark horse just before retirement, Naoki Hanyu, a 27-year-old Superintendent of Police with unlimited potential.

Especially the case of the Sakura family a few days ago, which not only shocked the whole country, but also made Kurosawa Ryo, that old guy, call them to brag. He said that it was fortunate that he had done his best to mentor Hanyu Naoki, so that he didn't bury a talent, otherwise he would be the eternal sinner of Japan, etc., which made all his old friends want to punch him.

Seeing their old friends' bright smiles, the elderly people couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"That old guy is still putting on an act. Yuzuru offered to throw him a big birthday party, but he refused, saying he was afraid it would affect Yuzuru's reputation. What a hypocrite."

“You’re not hypocritical. You have such a disciple, you can’t wait to let the whole world know.”

"Aren't you one?"

On the other side, Kurosawa Ryo was chatting with the young man. Apart from his former subordinates Akimoto Seiko and Fujiwara Mai, he had only met Matsumoto Masami a few times, all at events hosted by Hanyu Naoki. He knew that she was helping Hanyu Naoki manage the research department of his pharmaceutical company.

In Kurosawa Ryo's opinion, Hanyu Naoki and Matsumoto Masami were probably having an affair. He didn't know if Akimoto Seiko knew, but as an elder, he would never say anything.

But the other two strange women surprised him.

"Yukiko Muromachi, First Advisor of the Security Department, with the rank of Superintendent."

"Yakushiji Ryoko, First Advisor of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, with the rank of Superintendent."

In Kurosawa Ryo's eyes, both the Superintendent and the Chief Superintendent were important figures, and they were also young women around 30 years old, with unlimited potential.

"Good, good, it's my honor that you can come to my birthday party."

On the contrary, Naoki Hanyu was taken aback for a moment.

"Ryoko, when did you get promoted to Superintendent General?"

"yesterday."

Naoki Hanyu opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Why didn't he tell me about the promotion to celebrate? He's only been two years old and he's already been promoted to Superintendent General. It's probably a sure thing that he'll become Superintendent General in the future.

The elderly men nearby were also stunned. The policewomen, who looked very young, were all higher in rank than them. Now they couldn't chat with them from the perspective of senior officers.

Kurosawa Ryo's attitude remained that of an elder looking at a junior, and he also discovered that these women all shared a common interest: they enjoyed hearing about Naoki Hanyu's embarrassing moments when he first became a policeman.

“I still remember him. On his third day on duty, he chased after an ordinary thief and fell while crossing the highway railing, even hitting his chin and bleeding.”

Unfortunately, Kurosawa Ryo had saved the picture from that time. When they saw it, it made several women burst into laughter. In the picture, someone had one foot hanging on the railing.

Ryoko Yakushiji covered her lips and smiled sarcastically.

"I never would have thought that the Dragon of the Metropolitan Police Department could be so pathetic."

"Everyone needs time to adjust when they first become a police officer."

Ryoko Yakushiji retorted.

"I didn't. Do you think elites from the professional group would make such a basic mistake?"

Yukiko Muromachi nodded in agreement.

Seiko Akimoto also responded.

"Do you really think that the top three graduates of the police academy would make such a basic mistake?"

"."

That makes sense. Naoki Hanyu recalled that he was just reborn and was about to graduate from police academy. He was so confused that he ended up with the worst score.

Before he could even get used to being a policeman, he was assigned to Yuzhong Police Station. Fortunately, his mentor, Kurosawa Ryo, was very competent, and he owed a lot of credit to Kurosawa's rapid growth.

Seeing that all the female police officers present had spoken up, Fujiwara Mai also wanted to say that she had not done anything wrong, after all, her promotion speed was also super fast, and she would be a police inspector next year.

"Neither do I."

Before Fujiwara Mai could finish speaking, her cheeks were pinched.

Naoki Hanyu said with a smile.

“I trained you, how could I not know how many mistakes you’ve made?”

"."

That makes sense.

Fujiwara Mai could only turn away angrily. What a hateful senior! She was just as excellent.

Seeing that Akira Kurosawa was talking about his past again, Naoki Hanyu could only sit in front of the TV and watch the news, trying to avoid seeing it.

As he was looking through the news, a piece of news suddenly surprised him.

Yukino Yukinoshita, a mainstay of TV Tokyo, was broadcasting news about the Japanese pharmaceutical industry.

"Under the impact of the Longgao and Shacang cases, the stock prices of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across the country have fallen, with the lowest drop being one percentage point and the highest even falling by eight percentage points. Every company is eager to prove that it will not conduct illegal experiments."

"However, amidst the sea of ​​green, there is still a dark horse that has risen instead of falling. This morning, Tianyu Qilin Company released information about its new drug Kryoceptin, a targeted drug for large cell variant lung cancer. It has already entered phase III clinical trials and can be marketed as soon as it passes the testing of a comprehensive drug and medical device agency."

"Previously, the only targeted drug for large cell lung cancer was Johnson & Johnson's termatinib, which cost as much as 2.4 million yuan for half a month's supply. Now, Kylin Pharmaceuticals has issued a statement that Kryoceptin is only one-tenth the price of termatinib, which is good news for many patients."

"Kryoceptin works by targeting the TRPM8 ion channel in lung cancer cells with low-temperature nanoparticles, thereby inducing apoptosis in cancer cells."

Naoki Hanyu was also dumbfounded. He knew about this thing; it was a project he had "inherited" from Ryugao's legacy. He had heard that it was almost completed in the third phase of clinical trials.

The process for bringing a new drug to market in Japan is as follows: first, it undergoes Phase III clinical trials.

Phase 1 is a preliminary safety assessment and dosage determination; Phase 2 is a further study of efficacy and side effects; and Phase 3 is a large-scale trial to confirm efficacy and monitor adverse reactions.

After review and approval by the PMDA, four phases of post-market surveillance were conducted.

Naoki Hanyu turned his head and asked.

"Yamei, is Kryoceptin ready to go public?"

Masami Matsumoto nodded with a smile; she was thoroughly enjoying listening to someone's embarrassing story.

"Yes, he's been my supervisor for three terms. I've told you about it and sent you the documents."

"."

Has it been said?

Naoki Hanyu thought about it and realized that he did mention it in bed. As for the documents, he hadn't looked at a single one.

Why bother looking at documents when you're just a hands-off manager?

The conversation between the two made everyone pay attention to the news. When they heard that Tianyu Qilin's new drug had been launched, and that it was a very important targeted cancer drug, they were all shocked and happy.

Apart from Yukiko Muromachi, everyone present owned shares in Ame no Kirin Co., Ltd., and even Ryo Kurosawa owned one percent.
.
As the birthday party drew to a close, Naoki Hanyu and Ryo Kurosawa sat on the rooftop, drinking and chatting.

How is your retirement life?

"That's great. Playing chess and fishing, and now with the shares you've given me, I won't have to worry about money for the rest of my life."

Kurosawa Ryo looked up at the star-studded sky.

"Sometimes I feel like I'm too idle. I guess I'm still used to being a policeman and can't stay idle. I'll look for a welfare institution that's better in a while and do some volunteer work. It's better than staying at home doing nothing."

"Why not try politics? Start by running for a seat in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, and then aspire to become a member of the Diet."

Kurosawa Ryo was stunned when he heard this. Running for parliament was an idea he had never had before.

"No, no, I'm not cut out to be a politician."

"Do you think members of Congress are better than you? They're just more thoughtful, have more connections, and are more ambitious. You're my mentor, Naoki Hanyu, how are you any worse than them?"

Kurosawa Ryo fell into deep thought.

"Can I?"

“Okay, with your abilities, my support is definitely enough. If I have an elder in Congress, my life will be easier.”

Finally, Kurosawa Ryo gave his answer.

"I'll give it a try, I'll run for office under the name of Master Dragon of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"So much the better."

Naoki Hanyu does not believe that he can't support a member of parliament with his reputation, wealth, and connections.

After finishing their business, Kurosawa Ryo suddenly asked a question.

"Naoki, what is your relationship with Ms. Ryoko and Ms. Yukiko?"

Naoki Hanyu almost spat out his drink. Could you please not ask such a sensitive question?

"Just good friends."

"Heh, don't underestimate the observation skills of an old policeman. The way they look at you doesn't seem like that of a good friend."

Well, Naoki Hanyu probably figured the old guy in front of him wouldn't expose him.

"A confidante".

"I knew it! I knew you were a womanizer when I was with you."

Naoki Hanyu disagreed, saying that a few years ago he didn't have a regular bed partner other than Saki Toyokawa, which he considered a womanizer.

"Don't wrong me."

“I once saw you in Kabukicho with two women as you entered a hotel.”

"Then why did you go to Kabukicho? You're almost 60 years old."

"."

The two men looked at each other, neither wanting to continue the conversation.

Man, huh.

Naoki Hanyu
