The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

After Okazaki Sumie and Sakata Yusuke were taken to a study, Goji Sotaro called his secretary and security personnel out and told them not to approach the study unless necessary.

Before Okazaki Sumie could even exchange a word with this "old friend" she hadn't seen in over a decade after everyone else had left, Goji Sotaro, now a member of the Osaka Diet, launched his attack on her.

"Are you talking nonsense to the police? Let me tell you, we didn't cause that car accident. At most, we just got the instructor drunk. He got into the accident entirely because of his own actions, and it had nothing to do with us!"

"I only told you not to talk about what happened back then to avoid getting into trouble for myself!"

While speaking, Goji Sotaro barely glanced at Sakata Yusuke, who was standing next to him.

Given his current status, he really doesn't need to care too much about an ordinary police officer.

If you want him to be nicer, then at least someone standing here should be a police inspector.

When Okazaki Sumie heard Goji Sotaro's question, she gritted her teeth, thinking about her current situation, and expressed her dissatisfaction to the Osaka Prefectural Assembly member.

"Now Nagao, Nishiguchi, and Noyasu are all dead, and we still don't know who killed them, but the police suspect Numabuchi."

“You don’t need to be afraid of the swamp abyss while you’re living here, but I received two threatening phone calls this afternoon, and I even witnessed the gruesome death of Noyasu. If I don’t tell the police what happened back then, I’ll be next to die!”

Sumie Okazaki has truly given up all hope. She pointed at Sotaro Goji's nose and started yelling, "Don't you want to admit what happened back then?"

"After we got Coach Inaba drunk, I saw you, along with Nagao and Noyasu, carry the already drunk coach into the car. God knows what you did next that led to that accident back then!"

"After that, Nagao and Noya became your secretary and driver, respectively. When you fired them, you probably gave them a large sum of money as well. I've heard Nishiguchi mention this several times. If you didn't have something to hide, why would you do that!"

As she continued, Okazaki Sumie couldn't stop talking. Taking advantage of Sakata Yusuke, who was a policeman with real weapons, she blurted out some of the speculations she had heard from Hattori Heiji and Jiang Hang.

"Was it that after Numabuchi fled back to Osaka, he tried to blackmail you using what happened back then, but you refused? And you were worried that what happened back then would be exposed and affect your career, so you planned all of this to kill us all!"

Upon hearing Okazaki Sumie's revelation, Goji Sotaro sneered, completely disregarding Okazaki Sumie's words.

“I haven’t seen that guy Numabuchi for 20 years, and given his current status as a wanted criminal, he has no chance of coming up to me and talking to me.”

"Even if we take a step back and assume that I didn't do anything shady back then, how could I possibly be blackmailed by that kind of murderer?"

At this point, he finally glanced at Sakata Yusuke next to Okazaki Sumie: "You're the police who brought Okazaki here, right? You didn't suspect me because of the ridiculous things she told you about 20 years ago, did you?"

Goji Sōtarō snorted heavily: "You police officers are getting more and more useless these days. You get so much funding every year, but in the end, you still haven't caught Numabuchi. You even treat me like the murderer."

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You police suspect me now, so show me the evidence."

"If you can't produce it, don't blame me for suing your police station for defaming my reputation!"

Faced with Goji Sotaro's domineering attitude, Okazaki Sumie looked pleadingly at Officer Sakata beside her, hoping he could suppress Goji Sotaro's arrogance.

And Officer Sakata certainly did not disappoint her.

After a brief silence, Officer Sakata spoke up: "Councilor Goji, what you just said does indeed not quite match what I've been investigating recently."

“I found out that the night before the car accident 20 years ago, the six of you conspired to see the coach make a fool of himself, so you teamed up to get him drunk.”

"Then you guys lifted the coach into the car, drove it to a remote area, and then drained all the brake fluid, which ultimately led to the accident."

"After that, Councilor Goji used your family connections to classify the car accident as drunk driving and shift all the blame onto Coach Inaba. You also gave each of the five people who knew about it a hush money payment to keep them from mentioning it again... I think I'm right, Councilor Goji?"

After Yusuke Sakata clearly recounted what happened that night 20 years ago, a rare look of surprise appeared on Sotaro Goji's face.

"You're talking nonsense! Where did you hear such a thing? This is absolutely slander!"

After all, Okazaki Sumie and Nishiguchi Tayo only participated in the first half of the plan, which was to get Inaba Tetsuji drunk and then find a way to prank him. The four men were the ones who actually participated in the second half of the plan.

But Nagao and Noyasu are already dead, and the remaining one, Numabuchi Kiichiro, is now a wanted criminal by the police. There is no way he could tell this to the young policeman in front of him.

Could it be that those guys didn't listen to him and secretly told Sumie Okazaki what happened back then?

No, that's not right!

Judging from Sumie Okazaki's current reaction, this should be the first time she has fully learned the truth about what happened back then.

So where did this policeman find out about this?

Only now did Goji Sotaro truly begin to seriously examine Sakata Yusuke, the young policeman.

It was fine if he hadn't noticed it before, but the more he looked at Yusuke Sakata, the easier it was for him to match a certain figure in his mind.

That figure was so familiar that even after 20 years, Goji Sotaro could still vaguely remember the other person's appearance.

His eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Coach Inaba... Coach Inaba?!"

At Goji Sotaro's exclamation, Okazaki Sumie felt a chill run down her spine.

Yes, she had thought Officer Sakata looked somewhat familiar, but his honest expression made it impossible for her to connect him with Coach Inaba, who always had a stern face and scolded them.

It wasn't until he solemnly recounted the "truth" of what happened back then that she recalled it after being reminded by Sotaro Goji.

The same hairstyle, similar appearance, and even the same physique as Coach Inaba back then, only looking much younger than Coach Inaba who was already in his thirties at the time.

Sumie Okazaki swallowed hard, a new truth that sounded far too bizarre flashing through her mind.

But now that things have progressed this far, and since Yusuke Sakata has already openly recounted what happened back then in front of them, he has already made preparations to prevent the two people present from escaping.

After his father's name was called, Yusuke Sakata swiftly grabbed Sumie Okazaki's neck with his left hand, preventing her from shouting, while simultaneously drawing a pistol from his waist with his right hand and aiming it at Sotaro Goji across from him.

“Councilor Sakata, bullets don’t have eyes. I advise you not to move,” Yusuke Sakata said coldly, while increasing the pressure with his left hand, directly choking Sumie Okazaki unconscious.

By this point, how could Goji Sōtarō, who had been secretly following the case, not know who the murderer was?

"I never expected that Coach Inaba's son would become a detective and even investigate what happened back then... So, you heard about this from Numabuchi?" As a politician, Goji Sotaro was best at using his words to gain the trust of voters and win their votes.

Even with a gun pointed at his head, Goji Sotaro didn't dare to make a single unnecessary movement. He still tried to use his words to persuade Sakata Yusuke to put down the gun.

"I confess that we did get your father drunk and then took him to the countryside, but I really didn't put the brake fluid in!"

“We didn’t really think that much about it at the time. At most, we just wanted to joke around with your father and play a little prank.”

"It's all that Numabuchi's fault. He got drunk and started groping people in the car. He was the one who secretly drained the brake fluid. You know Numabuchi, he's a murderer with no moral compass now. He already showed his true nature back then. He's the real culprit who caused your father's death!"

Faced with Goji Sotaro's sophistry, Sakata Yusuke tilted his head slightly: "Is this your last words?"

Goji Sōtarō quickly stopped bringing up the past and started talking about more practical things.

“I know I am guilty, but I can bring you more benefits. If you want money, I have plenty of it.”

"If you want power, you're a police officer now. Judging from your rank, you're probably just a patrol officer. I can find a way to get you back to the police academy for further training and then pass the exam to enter the professional group. In five years at most, I can make you the chief of your police precinct."

"Even if you want to climb higher in the future, I can provide you with financial and networking support."

“As long as you don’t fire, I can help you pin the whole case on that guy Numabuchi. Anyway, he’s killed so many people, he’ll definitely be sentenced to death after he’s arrested, so a few more lives won’t matter.”

"If you don't believe what I'm saying now, I can take care of Okazaki right in front of you as a pledge of loyalty. As for those policemen at the door, I can also help you get rid of them. No one will suspect us!"

Listening to Goji Sotaro's words, Sakata Yusuke seemed somewhat tempted.

He tilted the pistol in his hand slightly downwards and then asked Goji Sotaro, "I've already killed so many people, and now you want to personally deal with Okazaki Sumie? Everyone knows I brought her into your house. If she dies, do you think you can keep this a secret?"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Goji Sotaro's forehead, but he still answered confidently: "There is a way. I know a mysterious organization that has a deep influence in Japan. As long as they are willing to take action, no one will suspect us!"

Chapter 387: Chapter 383: The Final Step of Revenge

Upon hearing the mention of the mysterious organization from Goji Sotaro, Sakata Yusuke seemed to ponder for a moment.

“Continue with the story of that mysterious organization.”

Seeing that Sakata Yusuke was interested in these things, Goji Sotaro quickly chuckled and told Sakata Yusuke about the rumors he knew about the organization.

“I came into contact with that organization a few years ago when I was deeply embroiled in a bribery scandal. Although I had fired Changwei at the time, my opponents still did not intend to let me go. In the end, that organization took the initiative to approach me and offered to cooperate on the condition of helping me resolve the bribery scandal.”

"After I agreed, it took them very little time to cover up the scandal. My competitors either had some kind of accident or were transferred to other places where they no longer had a direct conflict with me."

“I was able to become a member of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly thanks to their efforts. In return, I had to express the opinions they wanted me to express at certain times, and I also had to pay them a large ‘cooperation fee’ every year. Basically, half of the money I’ve earned over the years has been taken by that organization.”

“They have a lot of power, both in politics and business, and they are very discreet in their actions, so even the police can't find anything wrong with them.”

"As long as they're willing to help, your problem is nothing to them."

When faced with a life-or-death situation, Goji Sotaro couldn't care less about anything else.

Although he knew that given the organization's usual style, they wouldn't give him a friendly look after finding out he had revealed their affairs, this was the only thing he could use to attract Sakata Yusuke's attention.

Moreover, he actually had his own ideas. If Sakata Yusuke agreed now, he could immediately find someone from that organization to get rid of this big problem of Sakata Yusuke for him.

At most, the organization will just bleed him a little more. Money is quite easy to earn for politicians like them. They can just keep a low profile for a while after they've done that job.

With that in mind, Goji Sotaro blurted out everything he knew.

"I never imagined that such a large and mysterious organization was hiding right under the noses of the police," Yusuke Sakata remarked with a touch of self-deprecation.

However, he was no longer worthy of being called a competent policeman when he imprisoned Kiichiro Numabuchi in that abandoned wooden hut in Meiji no Mori Park.

The moment he killed Hidetoshi Nagao with his own hands, he became a criminal through and through.

Given his current status as a murderer, he has no right to criticize Sōtarō Goji for his incompetence and collusion with other criminal organizations.

But there is one thing he can still do: without the slightest guilt, he personally escorts Goji Sotaro, this social parasite who still has no remorse and is trying to lure him to hell with money and power!

Thinking of this, Yusuke Sakata slowly put his pistol back into his waistband and then moved closer to Sotaro Goji.

With a relieved expression on Goji Soutaro's face, he swiftly pulled a pre-prepared metal wire from his wrist and strangled Goji Soutaro's neck before he could react, preventing him from even uttering a cry for help.

Seeing the horrified and confused expression on Goji Sotaro's face, Sakata Yusuke maintained a cold expression throughout.

“I never intended to end your life here with a pistol. This gun was personally handed to me by Minister Toyama. Although I failed to live up to his expectations, your life is not worth ending with something so precious.”

As Yusuke Sakata explained, Sotaro Goji began to roll his eyes as if he was suffocating.

After killing four people in a week, Yusuke Sakata had to admit that he was now much more decisive and skilled in his methods of murder than when he first committed the crime.

In less than a minute, the body of Goji Sotaro appeared on the ground.

Without a trace of emotion, he took out a small knife from his pocket and, just like in the previous murder cases, used the knife to pierce through Goji Sotaro's wallet and finally plunge it into his heart.

After doing all this, he stood up and looked at Sumie Okazaki, who was still unconscious not far away.

Now, apart from Numabuchi Kiichiro, whom he imprisoned and originally intended to be a scapegoat, only Okazaki Sumie remains from that training class.

Once he kills her, his revenge will be completely over.

Looking at the unconscious Sumie Okazaki, Yusuke Sakata couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

He had promised her more than once before that as a police officer, he would protect her safety, which is why she agreed to come with him to Goji Sotaro's residence and successfully met him.

Without Sumie Okazaki's presence, how could a lowly policeman like him have met the "honorable" councilor, Sotaro Goji, and how could he have so easily dismissed his secretary and security guards to create an opportunity for him to make a move?

The metal wire in her hand slowly approached Sumie Okazaki in the air.

In the end, however, Yusuke Sakata did not make the move.
