Tokyo Detective

Chapter 488 A new storm has emerged
The bodyguards and caregivers who rushed back immediately called their boss, claiming that Yuki Suoh had been taken away by her mother.

Upon receiving the call, Akimoto Seiko wanted to rush to the scene immediately, but she was investigating a very important serial murder case and found it difficult to leave.

Going would have a significant impact, but not going would leave her feeling uneasy. She never imagined that Suoh Yuki's mother would snatch someone in the street. Wouldn't it be better to just contact them directly? They're not some evil people who traffic people. Are you and your mother not allowed to meet?

Soon after, Seiko Akimoto communicated with Naoki Hanyu, reassuring him to focus on the case.

The case has now entered the final arrest stage, and any negligence now could affect his promotion a week from now.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Ah."
.
In the car, Suoh Yuki stared blankly at the familiar woman in front of her. Her mind was still in a daze, and she couldn't remember who the woman was for a moment. She just felt a sense of familiarity. It was this stimulation that made her head ache even more, and she blurted out a sentence, which was also the first word she had uttered in months.

"Mother?"

"My daughter, you have suffered so much."

Yumiko Suoh hugged her daughter and wept bitterly.

“Yuki, you will never be alone again. Your mother and your sister will be with you. You can integrate into the church family and even become an enlightened being like your mother.”

The conversation between the two elicited various expressions from the burly men in the car. Some looked at the mother and daughter with burning eyes, while others looked at Suoh Yumiko with strange eyes, and some even secretly showed disdain.

What a crazy woman.

Soon after, the car arrived at a fairly large building in Adachi Ward, covering an area of ​​several thousand square meters and three stories high, with a sign hanging at the entrance that read "Shunten Shinrin-kai Hall".

The car door opened, and Yumiko Suo led her daughter into the building. Along the way, she greeted some people by bowing 30 degrees with her hands on her abdomen, and the surrounding believers returned the bow, showing a very respectful attitude.

"Master Jiaojue."

"Master Jiaojue."

What is enlightenment? This is the hierarchy among believers of the Heavenly Patrol Truth Society.

Male believers who join the group are called "outer practitioners," and female believers are called "inner practitioners." This means that the two are practicing together (I've heard that female inner practitioners are involved in sexual matters, but some religions in South Korea no longer interpret it this way).
The second level of believers is called "First Awakener," meaning someone who awakens and experiences enlightenment first. (In pyramid scheme terms, a spiritual guide is someone who recruits people as their downline.)
The third is called "teaching inspiration," meaning that those who have attained enlightenment become teachers, instructing other believers on how to receive inspiration. (A small area leader is considered a minor leader.)
The Sky Patrol Truth Society originated in South Korea and has a history of nearly 80 years.
The so-called Sky Patrol Truth Society is actually the name of a branch of the Sky Patrol Unified Church in Japan, one of the three major religions in South Korea. Of course, there are more than one branch. The Sky Patrol Unified Church claims that its faction has tens of millions of followers.

Such churches in Japan are divided into three levels: meeting rooms, guild halls, and temples.

The meeting room is the most basic level, specifically responsible for recruiting new members. There are only two such meeting rooms in the entire Tokyo area, which can accommodate thousands of believers at the same time.

Yumiko Suo quickly arrived at the door of a room, at which point the burly man following behind her was willing to leave.

The door opened, revealing a traditional Taoist temple with an elderly man in his sixties sitting inside. The character "感" (gǎn, meaning gratitude/appreciation) was written in large characters on the wall.

The old man's name was Watanabe Kazuma. He was a cleric at the religious level, responsible for interpreting doctrines and supervising education. He was already one of the upper-middle-level managers of the Shinra Society in Japan.

"Yumiko, congratulations on successfully bringing your daughter back."

Yumiko Suoh respectfully prostrated herself.

"Master, we owe all this to the Lord's grace. Next, we will trouble you to purify Yuki of the evil within her."

Watanabe Kazuma nodded with a compassionate expression.

“As a future companion, I will certainly help her, just as I helped you. Only a servant of the Lord can truly get rid of the harm of drugs like you.”

"Thanks be to the Triune God."

At this moment, Suoh Yumiko showed an extremely devout look, which made Watanabe Kazuma's eyes a little tempted. Although she was a bit old, she still had some beauty, especially her devout look. However, the important matter was still at hand.

"You can go out now. I believe we will find a healthy daughter soon."

"Thanks to the Lord, I will dedicate all the inheritance I have received to the church."

"It's good that you meant it."

Yumiko Suo calmed her daughter, who wanted to leave with her, and very calmly closed the door and left.

Watanabe Kazuma simply watched all of this quietly. He recalled the drug addict from two years ago, who, after more than a year of being inspired, had become a true servant of the Lord, willing to give up everything, whether it was his body, his money, or anything else.

It was precisely because of her extreme piety and other reasons that Yumiko Suo was able to reach the level of religious awareness in just two years.

Just as Watanabe Kazuma was about to approach Suo Yuki, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Suo Akira calling.

"Is something wrong?"

"Lord Watanabe Kyosei, I'd like to ask if my sister and niece are with you?"

“It’s already there. You can return the prepared inheritance to your sister.”

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise. After all, Yumiko is my only sister."

After hanging up the phone, Watanabe Kazuma showed a disdainful expression. He knew that the people sent by Suo Akira that day wanted to kill Suo Yumiko, but the church saw through their plan and they reluctantly cooperated. In the end, the inheritance was split 37/30, with their church taking 30%.

As for who adopted Suoh Yuki, neither Suoh Akira nor Suoh Yumiko said, and he was too lazy to find out; as long as he could get money later, that was enough.

To avoid being disturbed again, Watanabe Kazuma turned off his phone before approaching the girl, who was as frightened as a little white rabbit.

"Yuki, you'll recover soon. Even if one purification doesn't work, we can do it twice."

Watanabe Kazuma grabbed Suo Yuki's struggling hands and tried to unbutton her clothes, ignoring her fear.

"Be good, don't resist, Grandpa will..."

Before Watanabe could finish speaking, an ashtray suddenly hit him on the head.

The old man lay on the ground, his head bleeding profusely. His body was already weakened, and the blow to his head prevented him from speaking loudly. He could only stare at the girl in front of him in shock.

At this moment, Suoh Yuki bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes and eventually sliding down her cheeks.

She slowly woke up from the shock of seeing her mother, and at the same time, she became mentally impaired and did not forget the memories of what she had just experienced.

She never imagined that the mother who had escaped drug addiction would become a cult member, the kind of fool described only online, who could dedicate everything to a so-called god, whether it was herself or her family, ultimately leading to the destruction of her family.

Recalling the events that had just transpired, coupled with the conversation between Watanabe Kazuma and Suo Akira, Suo Yuki couldn't help but burst into tears and curses.

"You big idiot, Yumiko Suo."

She kicked the struggling old man unconscious, then opened the window and climbed down from the second floor, intending to leave before anyone noticed. She was going to find Naoki Hanyu; at that moment, all she wanted to do was find Naoki Hanyu.

As she approached the gate, a voice finally came from behind her.

"That woman ran away."

Suoh Yuki hurriedly turned and ran, even though she heard the voice she had been longing for coming from behind her.

"Yuki, what are you doing outside? Come back quickly, come back quickly."

Yuki Suoh bit her lip, refusing to turn back. Run! Call for help! Only then could she and her mother be saved.

Just as Suoh Yuki ran around the bend, she suddenly heard a familiar voice and saw a familiar face coming from a car parked on the side of the road.

"Miss Suoh, what are you doing here? Oh, someone was chasing you. Please get in the car."

Without a second thought, Suoh Yuki opened the door and sat inside.

After half an hour.

Inside the Special Operations Bureau of the National Police Agency, Naoki Hanyu paced back and forth, somewhat annoyed, but thankfully, the intelligence division finally brought good news.

"Director, according to the surveillance footage from the Ministry of Transportation, the target vehicle was heading towards Adachi Ward. We have also discovered that Suo Yumiko is a missionary of the Tensun Shinrikyo, and we suspect that they went to the Tensun Shinrikyo headquarters in Adachi Ward."

"The Sky Patrol Truth Society?"

Naoki Hanyu quickly recalled the information about the other party: the Tensun Shinji Association was not very large in Japan, with only about 50 followers, which was about the same as the number of Protestant followers in Japan.

However, this religion originated from a split of the three major religions in South Korea, and its desire to get involved in politics is much greater than that of traditional religions. As for detailed information, Naoki Hanyu is not very clear about it either.

"Go and gather all the information about the Sky Patrol Truth Society."

"Yes."

As for why the Ministry of Transportation only speculated, it's because Adachi Ward is the poorest, most chaotic, and least monitored of Japan's 23 wards, so they couldn't pinpoint the final destination. Naoki Hanyu summoned Hideki Ito, the 43-year-old head of the First Investigation Division.

This man is the distant nephew of the Superintendent General of Police, so he's practically one of their own. His abilities are only so-so, and his only "advantage" is that he's a suck-up.

"Arrange for someone to come with me to the Tensun Shinri-kai headquarters in Adachi Ward."

"Director, you can arrange for us to go."

Naoki Hanyu patted the other person on the shoulder, picked up his coat, and went outside.

"Ito, you'll have to get used to it. I'll be giving you a lot of pointers from now on."

"."

Hideki Ito, who used to be the head of the police affairs section, really couldn't understand why his superior wanted to be involved in so many things, even doing them personally. Was he some kind of micromanagement master?
Thirty minutes later, the Sky Patrol Truth Society headquarters was still in turmoil. Their spiritual leader, Watanabe Kazuma, was injured by a newly arrived internal cultivator, and his head was wrapped in bandages.

Another member of the church, Kim Yong-jun, cursed at Suoh Yumiko. He was an old believer who had crossed the sea to Japan years ago. Although he was also a member of the church, he was actually a senior member, which meant that he was a higher level than an ordinary member, even though the church did not have an explicit rule about it.

“Yumiko, look what you’ve done! Your daughter injured the Church Master, and you’re the one who asked the Church to purify your daughter.”

"Lord Yongjun, I am truly sorry. Please give my daughter another chance. She is simply very evil."

Kim Yong-jun frowned. He really wanted to call the police, but having just learned that Suoh Yuki had been snatched back, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

The brainwashing and various manipulations of the church are only suitable for doing in secret; it's not good to expose them to the light of day.

Just then, the sound of police cars came from outside, and a group of police officers came into view. The man in the lead made many people nervous, because the newcomer was none other than Naoki Hanyu, a celebrity in Japan.

This made Kim Yong-joon feel even worse. He least wanted to deal with the police, especially high-ranking officers.

He believes that the church's growth to 50 believers in Japan in just 50 years is due to its stable political position and good relations with the government, while donations and contributions are flowing out in large quantities.

I will absolutely not allow anyone to destroy the church for which I have dedicated my life.

Kim Yong-jun hurriedly led his men to block the entrance, while simultaneously instructing Suoh Yumiko to leave through the back door, and signaling the other believers to take out their phones to film, making the police hesitant to act.

"Officers, what happened?"

Hideki Ito was theoretically the commander-in-chief of this police operation, but his superiors had all come along and were criticizing him, so he looked to Naoki Hanyu for instructions.

"People from your church are involved in the kidnapping and imprisonment of Yuki Suoh."

"We don't know who Suo Yuki is."

The other believers echoed this.

"That's right, we don't know Suo Yuki."

Naoki Hanyu asked calmly.

Do you have CCTV cameras here?

“We are a community center that respects privacy, so there is no such thing.”

"Are you sure you don't know Suo Yuki?"

Kim Yong-jun shook his head.

"I really don't know him. If I did, I would definitely cooperate with the police officer."

Naoki Hanyu ignored the other party and signaled his men to take action.

“The people here are connected to a kidnapping case. Take them all back to me.”

Kim Yong-jun was incredulous. This was too dark! Doing whatever they wanted in front of the camera?

"Officer Yuzuru, on what basis do you say we are involved in the kidnapping of the so-called Suo Yuki? This is an abuse of power."

"Heh, if you want to die, I'll make sure you die knowing why. Hongming, bring your video over here."

A man stepped forward from among the Truth Church members to respond. He was wearing Truth Church clothing—or rather, upon closer inspection, a slight difference was noticeable—and was holding a cell phone.

"Chief, the evidence you want is all on the phone."

It's obvious that this was an inside agent who had infiltrated the area beforehand; it's just unclear whether it was 10 minutes or a few minutes earlier.

As the video played, it showed the recent disturbances at the Truth Society and conversations among believers, which terrified Kim Yong-jun, turning his face pale.

He still doesn't know why his sect attracted Naoki Hanyu. Didn't he hear that this person was the director of the Special Response Bureau? Why would he be in charge of a kidnapping case that failed?

"Director Yuzuru, please listen to me."

"Stop talking nonsense, Suoh Yukito is here."

"We really didn't know that Ms. Suo had already left."

Just then, two policemen led in a middle-aged woman, who was none other than Yumiko Suo, who had just escaped through the back door. Clearly, the police had laid a trap before showing themselves.

Naoki Hanyu looked at his former neighbor and said coldly.

"Zhou Fangyuko, Yuki is here."

"Naoki Hanyu".

Yumiko Suoh glared fiercely at the man in front of her. Yes, she hated this man, who had not only caused her to serve two years in prison (she was released from rehabilitation in less than a year, but later relapsed and went back in), but also...
They even stole her only precious daughter, who was the only proof that she was alive. The thought of her beloved daughter being reduced to a fool and forced to submit to their pleasure filled her with immense rage.

Naoki Hanyu, now known as an outlaw, loudly proclaimed his outrage.

"Suoh Yumiko, I'm asking you, where is Kito? Where have you tied her up?"

Suoh Yumiko retorted, her tone fierce but her heart weak.

“What do you mean by kidnapping? I am her mother and have the right to take her home.”

Naoki Hanyu shook his head.

“No, Yuki turned 4 four months ago, and your parental rights have expired. My paperwork to take care of her is complete. I have a reason not to let you take her away until she recovers.”

Naoki Hanyu bent down and whispered in the other person's ear.

“If you don’t tell me, I have plenty of ways to make you spend your next life in prison. Do you want to be locked up with death row inmates, Yumiko Suoh?”

"."

Yumiko Suoh jolted and took a few steps back, only relenting under pressure from someone.

"Yuki really injured the Master and left. We are looking for her."

Naoki Hanyu frowned upon hearing this. He was unaware that Yuki Suo had recovered her health, so he thought it was dangerous for a stunningly beautiful but foolish girl to be running around the streets of Adachi Ward. It would be troublesome if she were taken away by the local underworld gangsters.

Naoki Hanyu felt annoyed at this thought. Perhaps he shouldn't have been so busy with his own affairs lately; if he had been more careful, nothing would have happened.

"Ito, call for backup to bring everyone back to assist with the investigation, and at the same time apply for a search warrant to ransack this place."

"Yes, Director."

Naoki Hanyu went outside and called the Panryu-kai in Kabukicho.

"Hello, this is me. I need your help to send someone into the Adachi Ward yakuza circles to inquire if anyone has seen a very beautiful, mentally challenged girl. If you find her, protect her at all costs. I'll send you a photo."

"Yes, sir, I will make the arrangements right away. Not only the Panlong Society, but also the entire Kabukicho underworld alliance will follow your orders."

"Don't make too much of a fuss."

"Don't worry, sir."

Naoki Hanyu hung up the phone, still wearing a somber expression. He had a bad feeling and hoped the search would go smoothly.

An hour later, Naoki Hanyu looked very grim, because the person was still nowhere to be found.
