Tokyo Detective

Chapter 555: The car that was stopped was the Prime Minister's.

An angry voice rang out from the Prime Minister's official residence.

"What exactly does Naoki Hanyu want to do? I am the Minister of Defense, yet he falsely accuses me of having any connection with the YMCA without any evidence."

Hideaki Inoue was truly furious. Even though he had done many wrong things, at least he had never cooperated with terrorist organizations.

Oda Riko rebuked her sternly.

"Idiot, what is Naoki Hanyu up to? He's got his eye on you. You might get hit by a car and die like Saburo Toda soon."

"Targeting me? Getting hit by a car and killed?"

Inoue Hideaki finally showed fear and took his lover's hand.

"No, no, no, Pear, you have to save me. I am your most loyal companion. You have to save me."

"Don't panic, this is just my guess."

Oda Riko shook off Inoue Hideaki's hand. She had already tasted how ruthless someone was; his decisiveness exceeded her expectations, and he wanted to take lives right away.

As for whether it was not Naoki Hanyu who did it?
Maybe.

"We also use dirty tricks. Don't think that only you, Naoki Hanyu, know how to do them."

Just then, another assistant walked in.

"Prime Minister, we have discovered that there are Special Operations Bureau personnel staking out outside, but the reason is unknown."

Special Attention Bureau?

Inoue Hideaki panicked even more. They weren't here to arrest me, were they?
"Oda Riko said in a deep voice."

"I see."

"Yes."

After her assistant left, Oda Riko gave her instructions.

"Inoue, have your men come and pick you up."

Inoue Hideaki immediately became timid and hesitant. He was a newly appointed minister, and due to his lack of ability, the people in the Ministry of Defense looked down on him to some extent.

So, are the people from the Ministry of Defense really willing to offend the Special Operations Bureau for him?
"But the Special Operations Bureau is out there, and you know their power. They can act first and report later, arrest first and then complete the procedures. This is all thanks to your predecessor."

Oda Riko showed a disdainful expression.

"You have utterly disgraced me."

A few hours later, at the Prime Minister's official residence.

A convoy drove out from there, heading east towards Xiaguan, only two kilometers away.

Suddenly, two police cars appeared behind the convoy, and as it turned a corner, several more police cars blocked the front of the convoy, with more than a dozen Special Operations Bureau officers standing in the road.

The two police officers in charge were female, namely Mai Fujiwara and Miyuki Kobayakawa.

Both women wore suit skirts with black stockings and high heels; the curves of the tight skirts were incredibly alluring, and their ponytails made them look even more capable.

Miyuki Kobayakawa couldn't help but feel worried as the convoy drew closer.

"Mai, this is a minister's convoy, should we really stop it?"

Mai Fujiwara took a deep breath, and her full figure revealed an even more stunning curve.

"Otherwise, why would we be here?"

"But shouldn't the section chief be the one to handle such an important operation?"

"Our seniors told us that they have more important tasks, so this operation can only rely on us."

"Damn it, you have to treat me to dinner afterwards."

While Miyuki Kobayakawa spoke nonchalantly, her breathing actually quickened. This was the first time she had ever made a move against an important figure. Although she had reservations, she didn't back down an inch, like a sharp arrow.

As the convoy gradually slowed down, two policewomen raised their hands to signal the convoy to stop.

Soon, six vehicles stopped and nearly 20 people got out. These security personnel were also armed, which immediately made the atmosphere tense.

A man in a suit and tie asked over a thousand questions.

Do you know whose car this is?

"Fujiwara Mai said calmly."

"All I know is that our summoner, Hideaki Inoue, is in the car."

"Putting aside whether the minister is present or not, you all know that Minister Inoue is a cabinet minister. How dare you stop the minister's car in the street?"

Fujiwara Mai's eyes were resolute.

“As long as he is not a member of Congress and has immunity, his identity has nothing to do with our investigation.”

Miyuki Kobayakawa added.

"We have found evidence that we suspect Hideaki Inoue of committing sedition, terrorism resulting in death, and murder of the Prime Minister. We hope that Minister Inoue can come back with us to assist in the investigation."

The series of accusations enraged the man in the suit.

"He's a cabinet minister. Do you have arrest warrants from the High Court?"

Miyuki Kobayakawa produced a special arrest warrant from the Special Operations Bureau.

“This is a legitimate arrest warrant issued by the Special Operations Department.”

The man in the suit began to argue illogically. "An arrest warrant from the Special Operations Bureau? To get the Minister's assistance in the investigation, it would at least need to be reviewed by the Supreme Court. The mere Special Operations Bureau doesn't have that authority."

Fujiwara Mai rebuked her sternly.

"According to Article 3 of the Provisional Special Response Act, the Special Response Bureau has the right to act without the approval of the Supreme Court. Are you in contempt of the law?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of police officers suddenly appeared and surrounded him, nearly half of whom were armed.

In an instant, all the security personnel tensed up.

"you"

Seeing the two women staring at him with sharp eyes, the man in the suit had no choice but to return to the first car and ask the important person inside for instructions.

"This is the Prime Minister's motorcade. Minister Iyama is not inside. We hope the Special Task Force will not make unreasonable demands. Do you intend to search the Prime Minister's car?"

Fujiwara Mai walked forward step by step along the convoy, eventually arriving at the protected vehicle. The car window gradually rolled down, revealing Shida Riko inside with an expressionless face. The two women locked eyes.

Fujiwara Mai's heart tightened. Although Shida Riko didn't look scary, she was, after all, the Prime Minister of Japan.

"We hope the Prime Minister will cooperate."

Oda Riko didn't answer, she just stared quietly at Fujiwara Mai, as if she was trying to memorize the woman in front of her even when her phone rang in her bag.

Finally, Oda Riko waved her hand, the car window rolled up again, and the convoy gradually started moving.

Miyuki Kobayakawa asked her best friend with her eyes whether she should force her way in, as their inside source clearly indicated that Minister Inoue was inside.

Ultimately, after Fujiwara Mai shook her head in refusal, the police had no choice but to let the car pass. A group of police officers witnessed the departure of the Prime Minister's motorcade, realizing that forcibly searching the Prime Minister was far too serious.

Fortunately, no one filmed this scene. The Special Operations Bureau had already blocked off the street when they took action; otherwise, it would have been bad for both sides if the incident had escalated.
.
Hideaki Inoue was sitting in the passenger seat. Because the Prime Minister's car used multi-layered composite bulletproof glass, the view from the outside was so blurry that it was impossible to make out any figures.

Hideaki Inoue, who was sitting in the front row, escaped unscathed, but he was still shaken by what had just happened. Luckily, he left with his lover, otherwise those lunatics from the Special Operations Bureau might have forcibly taken him away.

Oda Riko spoke first.

"Don't worry, the Special Operations Bureau's 'act first, report later' policy has limitations. Since they have already proposed to arrest you, they must submit the evidence to the court within two hours. The Supreme Court will not approve based on just one side's statement; that's the rule."

Hideaki Inoue patted his chest.

"That is not bad."

"Hmph, if you worked harder and became a member of Congress, you wouldn't have so much trouble."

"."

Just then, her phone rang again, and Oda Riko's expression changed drastically after answering it.

"What? The Special Task Force has taken action against the Tokyo Special Investigation Department under the pretext of assisting terrorists?"

"Yes, they have taken the person away."

Oda Riko immediately understood what was going on; those guys were using a feint.

The members of the Special Investigation Department are mostly prosecutors who enjoy quasi-judicial immunity. Their illegal acts in the course of their duties are protected by immunity, but crimes such as murder and arson are not protected.

Most importantly, if the Special Investigation Department makes an arrest, the Minister of Justice has the power to explicitly refuse to approve the filing of a case, thus preventing the Special Investigation Department from carrying out its preemptive action.

Of course, the Minister of Justice will also face pressure from the media and Parliament when he uses his powers. Parliament will review the legality of the Minister of Justice's use of power, and if it finds it unreasonable, the arrests will continue.

Naoki Hanyu

Oda Riko was furious, because the policewoman had delayed her by a few minutes, causing her to miss the best time to respond.

When the Special Investigation Department initiates an arrest, it is the best time for the Minister of Justice to intervene. With the approval of the Special Investigation Department, he will have the confidence to resist.

But if you wait until it's too late to intervene, do you think the Special Operations Bureau will release the person?

The Special Emergency Bureau refuses to release the person, leaving the Minister of Justice with only two options: have the Public Safety Committee and the National Assembly force the Bureau to release the person. However, the Public Safety Committee is currently understaffed, so only the National Assembly can handle the situation.

Once Congress finishes its discussions, Naoki Hanyu will be able to do more, and then everything will be over.

After figuring out the whole story, Oda Riko's face contorted with rage, but she still picked up her phone and dialed the Minister of Justice.

“Minister Noguchi, I need to use my privileges.”
.
On the other side, the headquarters of the Special Investigation Department is not far from the National Police Agency.

At the main entrance on the first floor, hundreds of police officers, under the watchful eyes of over a hundred members of the Special Investigation Department, took away the members of the "YMC" list, including a total of six high-ranking members.

With the Special Investigation Department's privileges and the "evidence" on the YMCA's list, Naoki Hanyu was more than capable of taking the person away, just like the Special Investigation Department's consistent practice of forcibly removing suspects from police agencies with evidence.

This scene infuriated many senior prosecutors. Once upon a time, only their Special Investigation Department could perform such privileged acts, but now they were being treated the same way.

In the police car, the newly appointed Special Investigations Chief, Ryoma Shirota, and Naoki Hanyu sat in the back seat. Suddenly, Ryoma Shirota's cell phone rang, breaking the silence inside the car.

Ultimately, Shirota Ryoma's phone was temporarily kept by Hanyu Naoki, and Hanyu Naoki's phone also rang.

Naoki Hanyu asked calmly.

"Hey, Minister Noguchi, is there something you need?"

"Director Yuzuru, I refuse to approve your operation. Please release the people immediately."

"That won't do. You need to bring the signed documents to the Special Affairs Bureau first before I'll consider whether or not to release him."

The Minister of Justice on the other side had a gloomy face. The other party's attitude did not seem like he would agree, not to mention that producing a handwritten document would only create loopholes.

After the call ended, Naoki Hanyu flashed a bright smile.

He wouldn't focus on the mediocre Inoue Hideaki; removing the cabinet's law enforcement henchmen was the most important thing. So, using cooperation with terrorists as an excuse, he took care of the two most troublesome hostile organizations in one fell swoop.

Of course, he didn't intend to let Inoue Hideaki off the hook either. He had better ways to deal with him, after all, this guy's energy and spirit were really too poor, as if his body had been drained by a woman.
