Tokyo Detective

Chapter 554 You Only Realize How Wronged You Are After Being Accused
At 9 a.m., at the Fukada residence, former National Police Agency Commissioner Yusuke Fukada was shocked by the news on television.

"Yanagi Tadashi, who was about to take office as the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, was found dead at home. The cause of death was that he was using his mobile phone while it was charging, and the charging cable leaked electricity, which led to his death. We would like to remind the public to use mobile phones safely."

The noodles on Fukada Yusuke's chopsticks fell onto the table, and his wife was equally surprised.

"Wasn't Yanagi no Tadatsugu your former subordinate? How did he suddenly die?"

Fukada Yusuke snapped out of his daze and picked up the noodles. He didn't know what was going on, nor was he interested in finding out; he was just a retired old man with poor health.

"Birth, aging, illness, and death are all normal. You should be more careful with household appliances in the future."

"You don't have to say it."

Fukada Yusuke said so, but as someone who had held the position of police commissioner for three years, how could he not have access to information? He learned that the cabinet government was going to suppress Hanyu Naoki, and Yanagiba Tadatsugu was one of the pawns.

"No way?"

Fukada Yusuke dared not speculate wildly; perhaps Yanagiba Tadatsugu really was an accident.

Just then, a commotion came from the small villa next door. Fukada Yusuke noticed through the window that many police officers were standing at the door next door. As the door opened, the police rushed in, which startled Fukada Yusuke.

"What are they trying to do? That's where Commissioner Ono lives."

Fukada Yusuke recognized the police officers as Special Operations Bureau officers, and the leader of the team seemed to be Fujiwara Mai, a disciple of Hanyu Naoki.

As for Committee Member Ono, his real name is Toshio Ono, a former elite lawyer and now a member of the National Public Safety Commission.

The National Public Safety Commission has five members: one chairman, usually a cabinet minister; and four statutory members, all non-politically appointed technocrats or academics, who are prohibited from holding concurrent positions as serving civil servants or members of parliament.

Of course, if necessary, the Prime Minister can also temporarily appoint up to two part-time commissioners, subject to parliamentary approval. Various matters concerning the police require consultation and voting by five people.

The appointment of committee members requires hearings and questioning in both the House of Representatives and the Senate; if either house rejects the nomination, the nomination is invalid.

The term of office of committee members is protected by law, and the prime minister has no right to unilaterally remove them.

This is the structure of the National Public Safety Commission. Currently, three members of the commission are from the cabinet government, one is a close friend of Tanaka Juzo, who was won over by Hanyu Naoki with benefits, and the other is neutral.

Toshio Ono is a member of the cabinet government, and he never expected to be raided by the police.

Meanwhile, at the Ono residence, Toshio Ono was tying his tie with the help of his maid, preparing to go out to attend a new Public Safety Commission meeting to discuss the election of a new Commissioner-General of the National Police Agency.

After tying his tie, Ono Toshio washed his face on the maid's enormous body again. Just as he looked up, he saw another maid open the door and a group of police officers rush in. The female officer in the lead was even more voluptuous than his maid.

Toshio Ono quickly intervened.

"Who are you? Even if you are police officers, you can't just force your way in."

Mai Fujiwara immediately produced a search warrant.

"Toshio Ono, you are suspected of being involved in a terrorist organization. I am now going to investigate your residence and office."

"what?"

Toshio Ono was a little confused. Was he suspected of being involved in a terrorist organization?
He certainly had a lot of dirty work to do, but he was not involved in any terrorist organizations.

"Nonsense, I didn't do that at all."

"Hehe, it's not as simple as you saying it doesn't exist. Please don't obstruct the police investigation, or I'll sue you for obstructing official business."

Fujiwara Mai led her people straight to the study, forcibly turned on the computer, and began browsing the computer under the control of a computer expert.

Ono Toshio became even more anxious, but he knew that the most important thing now was to leave. As long as he returned to the committee, what could the police do to him?

But just as Toshio Ono was about to leave, he was stopped by three policemen.

"I'm sorry, you can't leave."

"Damn it, you only have a search warrant, why won't you let me leave? This is illegal restriction of personal freedom, I'm going to file a complaint against you."

"Whatever you want, you're not allowed to leave now. The Special Operations Bureau has the authority to act first and report later."

Ono Toshio angrily sat back on the sofa, inwardly blaming the former prime minister for giving the Special Emergency Bureau such great power.

Time passed quickly, and soon the police found "evidence" inside the house: a police patrol route map obtained through the committee, as well as a police deployment map.

Similar files were found on the computer, including records of contact with the president of the YMCA.

Mai Fujiwara tossed a document at Toshio Ono, her voice icy cold.

"Mr. Ono, what else do you have to say for yourself?"

Ono Toshio was dumbfounded. He flipped through the pages one by one, especially noting that the handwriting inside was exactly the same as his own.

"Impossible, how could my house have such a thing? Impossible."

"Is it possible that our police will investigate you? You are now suspected of committing crimes of sedition, terrorism resulting in death, and murder of the Prime Minister. Now give me back the documents and cooperate obediently."

The charges against him touched a nerve with Toshio Ono. As a lawyer, he knew that the evidence the police had found was enough to condemn him, even though he knew he hadn't done so.

This can't be done. This can't be done.

Ono Toshio suffered a mental breakdown and did something irrational: he ate the document that had his own handwriting on it.

“He’s trying to destroy the evidence. Hold him down.”

In an instant, Toshio Ono was subdued.

Under the body camera recording, Toshio Ono's actions were not much different from a confession.

Fujiwara Mai picked up the torn-in-half document and shouted angrily.

"Take all the evidence back. Yamada, you stay here and keep an eye on it. I'll take the key evidence back first. I'm sure you'll care about it too, senpai."

Yamada Yamato, who had already received the notice of the promotion exam, nodded. He looked at the villa as if he were looking at a merit. A 31-year-old police inspector, that's really pleasing.

As a key member of the Yuzuru faction in the eyes of outsiders, Yamada Yamato was already mentally prepared to do something outrageous.

As for the key evidence mentioned by Fujiwara Mai, it was a "YMCA hideout." This was where Hanyu Naoki secretly connected to the Ono family's network last night, hacked in using the Miss System and the Tenmon Satellite, and did whatever he wanted, which is why he left behind a lot of evidence.

When the policewoman returned to the police headquarters with the evidence, the entire Special Operations Bureau erupted in excitement. Even the Special Operations Mobile Squad was mobilized, with infantry fighting vehicles leaving the police headquarters, attracting the attention of passersby. Meanwhile, a car was heading towards Chiyoda Ward; the owner was Saburo Toda, a member of the Public Safety Commission.

"What? Ono Toshio has been arrested? How is that possible? I'll be there soon."

Just as the car reached an intersection, a large truck suddenly rushed out from the side and crashed directly into the car, resulting in a horrific accident.

The car was smashed into a pancake, and the corpses inside were turned into meat patties. Toda Saburo was dead beyond any doubt.

This scene caused many people to scream, but before they could get close to help, the truck suddenly caught fire and exploded in less than ten seconds, causing an even bigger commotion.
.
2-1-2 Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, the headquarters of the National Public Safety Commission, right next to the Metropolitan Police Department and the National Police Agency.

Chairman Hideaki Inoue paced anxiously back and forth, as the committee's situation was far from optimistic.

If Toshio Ono cannot be rescued, and the centrist committee members are won over by Naoki Hanyu, then the two sides will be evenly matched in the Public Safety Commission, making it very difficult to deal with Hanyu's faction.

"No, the Prime Minister needs to add two temporary committee members."

Suddenly a phone call came in, and Inoue Hideaki's expression changed drastically.

"Impossible, Saburo Toda is dead?"

"Yes, he died in a car accident, and the driver who caused the accident also died at the scene."

The call ended quickly, and due to time constraints, the new Defense Minister had no choice but to attend the meeting despite his frustration.

Inside the conference room, only three people were seated at the conference table, which was originally meant for five.

Hideaki Inoue wanted to stall for time, but the committee member whom Naoki Hanyu had won over, Terashima Makoto, a "good old man" who had once been involved in public welfare, would not agree.

Naoki Hanyu has just sent someone to inform him that whether it's an arrest or a car accident, Terashima Makoto is very surprised, but he will definitely not give up the opportunity.

"Chairman, don't waste time. Today's meeting is to elect the Commissioner of Police. It has already been filed with the National Assembly and cannot be delayed."

Inoue Hideaki's face turned even uglier. Fortunately, he knew that his side had not lost. As long as the neutral committee members stood on his side, they could still win this meeting.

"I suggest the meeting be rescheduled."

"I don't agree."

"Since we disagree, let's start voting. Raise your hand if you don't agree with changing the date."

Under Inoue Hideaki's watchful gaze, Terashima Makoto raised his hand, but the next second, the neutral Koike Tatsuya raised his hand, causing Terashima's expression to change drastically.

"Mr. Koike, you..."

Koike Tatsumi, a former firefighter, appeared very calm.

"I just don't want to waste everyone's time; it's better to make a decision sooner rather than later."

Koike Tatsu felt helpless, after all, the person who visited last night had given him so much that he had even abandoned his principles.

He originally wanted to join the Prime Minister's faction, but those people thought they had enough people and were planning to give him some small benefits to get rid of him. So, faced with the prospect of benefits, he completely sided with Naoki Hanyu.

The meeting results came out quickly: Koichi Uemura was elected Commissioner of the National Police Agency by a vote of two to one.

However, to actually become the Commissioner of Police, one of two steps is required.

The first requirement is the Prime Minister's approval. If the Prime Minister does not approve, Parliament must vote to decide. The position of Commissioner of Police is worth the country's mobilization.

"Hmph, take care of yourself."

Hideaki Inoue left the meeting room like a stray dog ​​and went to the Prime Minister's residence to confide in his lover.

"Pear, what should we do now?"

Oda Riko rebuked her sternly.

"What's the panic? It's just a counterattack by certain people. They're not made of wood, of course they'll fight back. The most important thing now is to get Ono Toshio out of here."

"Yes, yes, let's get them out of there."

Oda Riko felt annoyed by her lover's performance. If it weren't for his good skills, good looks, and obedience, she would have replaced him long ago.

Just then, the official pushed open the door and entered, his voice tinged with panic.

"Prime Minister, take a look at the latest news. The Special Operations Department raided a YMCA stronghold, killed several people, and obtained a lot of evidence."

"what?"

Oda Riko quickly turned on her computer and switched to the news channel.

In the background, an abandoned factory filled with the smoke of gunpowder stands out as Fuji Television reporter Sasaki Mashiro interviews Naoki Hanyu.

"Director Yuzuru, how did you manage to pinpoint the YMCA's location so precisely this time?"

"Our Special Task Force found evidence of Public Security Commissioner Toshio Ono's assistance to the YMCA at his home, and also discovered the YMCA's hideout. Even more criminals who were assisting terrorists were Public Security Commissioner Saburo Toda, who was killed in a car accident."

This statement stunned everyone watching the news. Could it be that two members of the Public Security Commission were spies?
But that wasn't all. A policewoman came running over with a stack of documents.

"Director, this note states that the current Minister of Defense, Hideaki Inoue, also has connections with the Yonhap News Agency."

The next second, Naoki Hanyu slammed his fist on Natsumi Senbon's head.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're spouting evidence that hasn't even been investigated yet in front of reporters. Get out, get out now."

Natsumi Senbon covered her head and then apologized to the camera.

"I apologize, I misspoke. Please forget what I just said. Minister Inoue is innocent. No, no, he is not innocent according to the investigation results. No, no, I'm not good with words. I'll take my leave."

"."

As the policewoman jogged away, viewers watching the news were speechless.

Some people even have absurd ideas, like, "With that kind of IQ, I could trick her into having three children in four years if she were a police officer."
