Tokyo Detective

Chapter 489 "Father"

Three hours had passed, and Naoki Hanyu even began to have pessimistic thoughts, wondering if Yuki Suo might have already been murdered.

"I want to see the person alive or dead, and I want the murderer to suffer a terrible death."

Just then, an assistant reported to Naoki Hanyu.

"Chief, the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau is here to see you."

Tekoshi Kunimitsu?

How did he end up in Adachi Ward?

Soon, Kotetsu Kunimitsu appeared with two subordinates, one of whom was Yakushiji Ryoko, the first councilor of the Criminal Investigation Bureau. She had said on the phone yesterday that she would be back today, but he never expected to meet her at this time.

Tekoshi Kunimitsu smiled.

"Director Yuzuru, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, but I'm curious about Chief Tegoshi's purpose in coming here."

Tegoshi Kunimitsu adopted a very humble posture and spoke in a low voice.

"To be honest with you, Director Yuzuru, I didn't want to come, but I owed you a favor, so I had to come and plead for you."

Upon hearing this, Naoki Hanyu frowned. Plead for mercy? Plead for whom?

"You're not doing this because of the Sky Patrol Truth Society, are you?"

Tegoe Kunimitsu replied with a wry smile.

"Yes, the Tensun Shinjikai and the shrine headquarters said that the crimes were just individual acts. I hope Director Yuzuru won't implicate too many people. Arresting all the believers in the entire shrine at once is really too much."

"The shrine headquarters also wants to get involved in police matters, or rather, Chief Tegoshi intends to interfere in cases handled by the Special Investigations Bureau."

The Shinto Headquarters was established in 1946 and is the highest central management body for Shinto shrines in Japan. It took over the functions of the National Shinto system after its disintegration before World War II.

Buddhism and emerging religions are both under its jurisdiction, but it's unclear how much it can actually control; in any case, it is officially under its jurisdiction.

Kunimitsu Tegoshi explained.

"Don't misunderstand, I mean no harm. I heard that several major religions have some kind of cooperation plan, and the Sky Patrol Truth Society is one of them. That's why I wanted you not to affect the follow-up. Actually, I don't know much. I just came to deliver a message."

When Tegoshi Kunimitsu said this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He was a senior member of the Metropolitan Police Department and worked in a department that was larger than the Special Investigation Bureau.

But now he has to put himself in a subordinate position because he can't afford to offend the person in front of him. Not to mention him, even the police chief wouldn't easily offend the other party.

Because they didn't know the relationship between Naoki Hanyu and the cabinet government, nor did they know his connections within the National Security Council. Ultimately, with the ruling party controlling the country, it wasn't easy for those of them in the opposition; they were just glad to keep their positions.

Unfortunately, he had some leverage over those religious organizations, so he had no choice but to speak out.

Naoki Hanyu was already in a bad mood, so he didn't speak in a very friendly tone.

"You don't need to worry about our Special Operations Bureau's affairs. You can leave now."

Tegoe Kunimitsu reminded.

"I heard that the victim had a good relationship with Director Hanyu. I suggested that Director Hanyu hand the case over to his subordinates and keep an eye on things from the sidelines to avoid suspicion. That way, no one else can find fault with him. After all, religious people can sometimes be quite extreme in their actions."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will handle this case myself."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of communicating, Kunimitsu Tegoshi had no choice but to leave. He had said what he should and shouldn't have said, and what happened next was no longer his concern.

Naoki Hanyu looked at Ryoko Yakushiji, who had stayed behind.

"Ryoko, you didn't come here to plead for me too, did you?"

Ryoko Yakushiji hugged the man in front of her.

"This is your decision. Do you think I'm an unreasonable woman?"

"No, if even you don't understand the bigger picture, then all the women in the world are short-sighted."

Ryoko Yakushiji asked with a smile.

"And what about the Holy Son?"

"."

Naoki Hanyu hates this kind of topic the most; can you please stop bringing up other women?

Ryoko Yakushiji's expression returned to a serious state.

"Tell me about the case. Maybe I can help you out, or even get the Criminal Investigation Bureau to help. I'm sure the chief won't object."

These words left Naoki Hanyu somewhat bewildered. Did Tegoshi Kunimitsu really not care about what he just said?

Yakushiji Ryoko quickly provided an answer.

"He's my distant cousin, I won't mind."

"Oh, so you're my cousin. In that case, I guess I was a bit harsh with my tone just now."

Ryoko Yakushiji rolled her eyes at the man.

"Who is your cousin? We're not even in a romantic relationship."

"Are you really that heartless? I thought it was because we were boyfriend and girlfriend."

Yakushiji Rogue pinched someone's waist with his fingers.

"And what about the Holy Son?"

"You are all my wings, you are all my girlfriends."

"."

These words shocked Yakushiji Ryoko. This was the first time the man in front of her had said such a thing. Could it be that as his money, strength, and power increased, he no longer needed to hide his ambition?

However, she had no intention of responding. She felt that the current way of getting along was good and did not want to disrupt her life, since she spent most of her time investigating cases all over the country anyway.

"Let's get back to the case."

"Here's the thing."

Naoki Hanyu explained the surveillance situation in the outskirts of Adachi Ward. There were very few surveillance cameras to begin with, and even if a few cameras captured Yuki Suo's figure, they couldn't pinpoint her location.

Even four police dogs were deployed, but to no avail. They just kept circling around a section of road without surveillance cameras. If the disappearance has not exceeded 12 hours, police dogs generally have a high chance of finding the tracking direction if they smell the missing person's clothing. Under suitable conditions, such as no rain or pungent odors, the weather in early March is very suitable.

Ryoko Yakushiji offered her own assessment.

“I think Yuki was taken away by someone, and the other party’s counter-surveillance capabilities are quite good. At the very least, they avoided a few surveillance cameras and did not leave any clues. I suggest you look for surveillance cameras in the shops along the way to see if they can capture anything. Also, you should interview the locals, and it would be best to ask even the yakuza.”

"As expected of Ryoko, I made the same decision. As for the yakuza, the Panryu-kai members have already arrived in Adachi Ward."

Ryoko Yakushiji was surprised.

"Panlong Society, I remember that the headquarters of this underworld is in Kabukicho, could it be related to you?"

"They're old friends."

"You really have a lot of old friends. Be careful not to leave any traces of your involvement in organized crime."

"Do not worry."

The two of them didn't just sit idly waiting for the report; they also went around to inquire about the situation.

Soon after, Naoki Hanyu's phone rang.

"Mr. Yuzuru, we asked around based on the photos you provided, and one thug said he was peeping at women with binoculars when he saw the girl in the photo get into a black Honda. I have taken her to Xiaozu Police Station."

Spying on women with binoculars is theoretically a violation of public order laws, and without the help of the underworld, it's unlikely such a clue would have been found.

"Thanks."

"It is my honor to be able to do things for adults."

Naoki Hanyu quickly identified a vehicle through eyewitness testimonies, and then discovered through surveillance and police systems that it was a cloned vehicle, and that it was also registered in the vehicle registration system.

"This is a cloned vehicle. Could you please check if there is any information about this vehicle?"

With a clue, the subsequent progress became much smoother.

Furthermore, according to witnesses, Suo Yuki got on the bus very quickly, so it's very likely that the people on the bus were acquaintances.

"Acquaintances?" is another direction for investigation.

Although a large number of people would require a lot of police force, even a murder case would not require such a large police force, the issues of police force and money are not a big problem for Naoki Hanyu.

Without hesitation, he immediately called the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, requesting the support of the new chief.

Inside the closed room, Suoh Yuki slowly opened her eyes, her mind not yet fully clear.

"Where am I?"

Soon, Suoh Yuki recalled her experiences before she fell into a coma, as well as the kind-looking man who usually seemed so gentle.

Danzaburo Aimura.

She remembered that after leaving the Tensun Shinjikai, she met Arimura Danzaburo. As a neighbor, she got into his car and was later gagged and rendered unconscious.

Yuki Suoh suspected that the person had planned this all along, otherwise they would have been waiting not far from the church. Perhaps the person had been following her since she was kidnapped in Matsukaze, and hadn't called the police, but was just waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, the sound of chains came from not far away. Suoh Yuki turned her head and saw a scene that she would never forget.

She saw a girl of similar age kneeling on the ground eating with her hands. She was wearing a fairly clean dress, and her dry, yellowish-black hair had gold edges. Although her face looked extremely haggard, she was still quite pretty.

However, what surprised Suoh Yuki the most was that the girl only had one hand, her other arm was gone, and her legs were bound by chains and she could not break free.

As Suoh Yuki tried to move, she discovered that her hands were bound by chains, and the fact that she had the same experience as the girl next door made her look scared.

Just then, the girl next door also noticed that the newlyweds had woken up.

"You, you're awake."

Perhaps because she hadn't spoken for many days, the girl's language skills had deteriorated.

Yuki Suho asked.

Why are we here?

"It was your father who brought you back."

"Father, is there a village headman named Saburo?"

The name Arimura Danzaburo made the girl show fear until someone asked her name.

"What's your name?"

“My name is Hiramiya, no, my name is Arimura Chika.”

Yuki Suoh looked at the trembling girl, unsure whether to ask or not; she too was confused and fearful.

If I remember correctly, Arimura Danzaburo only has one daughter, Arimura Reiya, so this person is not his biological son, but was captured like her.

"Don't worry, someone will come to our rescue."

Upon seeing this, Hiramiya Chika burst into tears.

"No one can save us. No one has saved me for two years. Mother, Father, I will never be willful again."

"We're going to be fine."

"We will all die, just like that sister."

Sister, that sister, are there other victims besides them? Where are their people?

Suoh Yuki's fear deepened, just as the sound of a door opening interrupted their conversation, and soon Murakami Saburo walked in.

He was still dressed in high-end designer clothes, but this time Arimura Danzaburo had dropped his disguise, revealing only a very perverted smile.

“My dear daughters, your father is back.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Hiramiya Chika knelt on the ground and cried out in a trembling voice.

"Welcome home, Father."
