Tokyo Police

v17 Chapter 25: meet

On weekdays, the streets of Kabukicho, where tourists are full of tourists, don't know why, but tonight it brings a feeling of tension. Looking at the police cars parked on the street and the police officers who are visiting from house to house, many people have a premonition that something big seems to have happened here.

"Excuse me, may I have a look at the customs industry exemption procedures..."

"Excuse me, do you have a foreigner's work permit?"

"Excuse me, may I show you your Individual Number Card (something similar to an ID card that has been implemented since 2016)?"

...

As a large number of police came to Kabukicho Ichiban Street and began to screen and investigate shops, tourists, and practitioners one by one, many people working in Kabukicho suddenly became nervous. This situation has not happened for many years. It happened. The last time the Metropolitan Police Department acted with such a big fanfare was because of the shooting incident at the Fenglin Guild Hall (if you are interested, you can read it, it will not be written in the novel, for fear of trouble!). Seeing such an abnormal behavior by the police, many people couldn't restrain their curiosity and asked each other what was going on. Soon some smart and well-informed people connected the police action tonight with the murder at Takadanobaba during the day.

"I heard... President Fukuda of the Sumiyoshi Society seems to have been killed by an enemy!"

"Really?"

"Shh... be quiet, it will cause trouble if others hear it!"

"Uh... I'm sorry, but... how did you know this?"

"I also heard what others said. I heard that Futian was tortured to death, and the fingers of both hands were cut off!"

"Eh... this is too cruel!"

...

As the voices of discussion in the crowd grew louder, the news that President Fukuda was killed gradually spread out. At the same time, many people's hearts were covered with a haze at this time.

People who seek life in Kabukicho are most worried that the order here will be broken, because once such a thing happens, it is likely to cause a reshuffle of the polar organization and the attention of the police forces. After all... if the streets of Kabuki Ichiban were filled with police every day, everyone wouldn't have to do business anymore.

But... what happened on the scene was just the police expressing their attitude. Almost at the same moment when the police searched Kabukicho, in a tavern in Nishi-Shinjuku not far from Kabukicho, Section Chief Matsuda was communicating with Vice President Takayama of the Sumiyoshi Society about the death of Fukuda Harari. .

"President Gao Shan, Fukuda Qingliu is dead, and our Metropolitan Police Department is now working hard to find clues about the murderer, so...if there is anything you know about, I hope you can hand it over to the police to deal with..."

Although the two were sitting in the pub facing each other, the desk in front of Section Chief Matsuda was empty, and Takayama Jianichi asked for a bottle of beer for himself as usual. When Matsuda Goro finished saying these words, Takayama Jianshi just took a sip of the wine glass and drank it.

"Senior Matsuda, this time, we will arrange our own arrangements, so... please don't say these useless words. The only thing we want to know is when you can return the body of President Futian to us. Our Sumiyoshi will be in great grief right now. Everyone is preparing for the funeral..."

Hearing Takayama Jianshi's answer that he avoided the important and took it lightly, Section Chief Matsuda immediately interrupted the other party's words, only to see him ask Gaoshan Jianshi bluntly:

"Sanggang Shengzheng is out of prison! Did he do what happened this time..."

"I'm sorry, Section Chief Matsuda! Senior Shangang is no longer a member of our Suzuki Club..."

Hearing Takayama Jianshi's answer, Matsuda Goro did not believe the other party's statement. I saw that he first smiled disapprovingly, and then said to Takayama Jianshi in a low voice:

"President Takayama, Sangang Shengzheng was arrested by the police because he was reported by the police. The person who reported him... should be someone from within the Suzuki Association! I think back then, both the Hongdao Association and the Kanto Jidao Association were involved. The hope of the chairman's throne, but... at this time, the leader of the Hongdao Society, Sangang Shengzheng, was arrested by the police on the grounds of violating the gun management law. This kind of thing is a bit wrong! ...The one that benefited the most from that incident was the Kwantung Polar Society... Takayama-san, the police are not fools. If we want to track down the whereabouts of Shangang Shengzheng, even the Sumiyoshi Society can't refuse, otherwise, you will Wait for the wrath from the police!"

Seeing that Goro Matsuda seemed to have a trace of anger, Takayama Jianshi wanted to ease the atmosphere. He knew that no matter how powerful the Sumiyoshi Society was, it would never be able to compete with the Metropolitan Police Department, which represents the state's public power. So... after a moment of silence, he said sincerely to Goro Matsuda:

"Senior Shangang really decided to quit the organization this time. He seems to have found a kitchen job in a high-end restaurant. As for the rest, I don't know..."

"Ghost Sword Hill! Even if he wants to quit, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"

"The times have changed. In the past, if someone wanted to quit the organization, they only needed to show their little finger to the eldest brother, but now... I'm not afraid of your jokes. Futian Qing accepted the 2000 I gave him. Wanyen, only then did I promise to let Senior Shangang go... So... I hope you don't involve him again!"

Hearing that Takayama Jianshi was finally willing to reveal some inside information to himself~lightnovelpub.net~ Matsuda Goro's serious expression only relaxed at this time.

"Excuse me, may I ask... Was there anyone else who had a deep holiday with him before Futian Qingliu was alive..."

Just when Takayama and Matsuda fell silent at the same time, Lin Xiuyi, who had been listening carefully, suddenly opened his mouth and asked Takayama Jianshi.

"President Takayama, this is my junior in the Metropolitan Police Department. Now...he has been transferred to the Shinjuku Central Police Station as the deputy director. I think...you will have to deal with each other in the future!"

After Goro Matsuda introduced Lin Xiuyi's identity to Takayama Jianshi, he patted Lin Xiuyi on the shoulder, then stood up from the chair and motioned for Lin Xiuyi to leave with him. As for Lin Xiuyi, he looked at Gao Shan with some puzzlement, only to see that the other party politely bowed to him, then raised his head and drank beer again on his own.

"Forget it, Xiu Yijun! He is willing to tell us about Shangang Shengzheng, and he has already cooperated extremely well. For the rest, we have to figure out our own way!"
