Chapter 198 196. Mr. Watanabe, please accept my condolences...

The Metropolitan Police Department is the police department with full jurisdiction over the public security of Tokyo. Since the Emperor's "Western Hunt" to Kyoto, all the former warning directors of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the main powerful officials of the island national police agency have been firmly controlled by the Utsunomiya shogunate.

The current warning director is the head of the Yanagihara family, and Nao Yanagihara is one of his unfavored daughters.

No matter how unpopular she was, Nao Yanagihara was the eldest daughter of the Yanagihara family. Naturally, there were countless people who wanted to curry favor with her and serve her, just to get better.

Nao Yanagihara didn't need to say it directly just because she didn't want to see certain posts and news messages on the Internet. As long as she mentioned it casually, a group of very motivated section chiefs and department heads at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters would rush to give Nao Yanagihara everything she wanted.

Nao Yanagihara would not be stupid enough to spread such a thing like bait and let her father's subordinates fight for it openly.

She has her own pair of white gloves that she uses very well and does not smell anything - Inspector Masami Minami, head of the 3rd Investigation Division of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters.

She is a famous beauty in the investigation department. She started as a patrol officer at the bottom. She is a woman with a vicious heart who will do anything to get to the top.

It was also by chance more than a year ago that Misora ​​Masami accidentally met Nao Yanagihara. She saw the opportunity was golden, so she acted decisively, knelt down on the spot, buried her head low, and raised her butt high, eager for a chance to do something for Miss Yanagihara.

Seeing that Nao Yanagihara was the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division and a female police officer, he gave her a chance, and gradually she became his most obedient and biting dog.

Last night, after confirming that the woman named Momozawa Mitsue had actually swallowed the pills and was dead beyond belief, as soon as the related information began to ferment on the Internet, Yanagihara Nao, at the suggestion of Matsumoto Hitomi, arranged for Misora ​​Masami and others to take precautions, asking her to keep a close eye on the matter, not to escalate it, and to close the case quickly.

After receiving the order, Misora ​​Masami immediately started to make arrangements. A small female anchor committed suicide due to the provocation and cyber violence from the audience in the live broadcast room. Although the mastermind was obviously the user of the account ID "Watanabe", it could be considered a murder.

But since Miss Yanagihara knew about it and cared about it, it was obviously not as simple as it seemed.

On one side is a female anchor with no background, and on the other side is the daughter of the boss’s boss. Do you even need to think about how to make a choice?

Do you want to make progress?!

Therefore, the incident of "Momozawa Mitsueda, also known as the female anchor MOMO, committing suicide during a live broadcast" was characterized as her suffering from depression due to the online violence suffered by the audience during the live broadcast, and she committed suicide by taking medicine on the spot.

The main reason lies with her alone. After all, there were tens of thousands of viewers during the live broadcast. The law cannot hold everyone responsible. You can't arrest and sentence all those viewers through the Internet, right?

However, the information on the Internet was like a flood. For a whole night, Inspector Misora ​​Masami led her subordinates to fight on the front line of the Internet and barely nipped any signs of fermentation.

The next morning, the local police station was not arranged to go to the apartment where Momozawa Mitsue died to prevent any accidents.

If even such a small matter could go wrong, then the relationship that he had worked so hard to establish with Miss Yanagihara would be of no use and his future would be ruined.

Misora ​​Masami and his subordinates airdropped directly into the apartment building and intercepted the local police station, which was unaware of the death in its jurisdiction, and prepared to handle the matter on its own.

The body of the woman who committed suicide by swallowing pills was immediately taken away by Misora ​​Masami's subordinates who had been arranged to patrol the area. There was no need to even send it to a forensic doctor for an autopsy. After the routine investigation of the scene, Misora ​​Masami directly classified it as a normal death caused by a sudden accident and did not allow any unnecessary in-depth investigation.

The two police lieutenants directly under him were shocked and puzzled. How could they make such a conclusion so easily without even checking the basic information and personal circumstances of the deceased?

Deputy Inspectors Nagao and Kikuchi looked at each other in tacit understanding. They both felt that the death of the hostess of this apartment was full of doubts and was very strange. However, their superior, Inspector Minamisora, ignored the procedures and directly asserted that it was a natural death...

It was so obvious, how could the two of them not realize that they had been dragged into this trap by their flirtatious female boss!
The two of them, Inspector Kikuchi graduated from a prestigious university three years ago, and was promoted to Inspector after working for a year. His future was originally bright, but later he rejected the pursuit of the ugly daughter of a certain superintendent, and his future was ruined.

Another deputy inspector, Nagao, like Inspector Nankong, also started out as a grassroots patrol officer and worked hard for more than ten years to get to his current position.

It's a pity that Tokyo doesn't need a policeman with a sense of justice. The ambitious Inspector Nagao has gradually been worn down by the years and has completely fallen.

There is no way to not lie down at work, otherwise he will be the one to lie down.

Two men and one woman, two of the men are the woman's subordinates. This configuration is not common in the investigation department of the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

Especially since Misora ​​Masami was transferred from the Ichigaya Police Station to the Metropolitan Police Department's headquarters' Investigation Division as the head half a year ago. Combined with the rumors about her lifestyle, everyone knew that she had climbed up the ladder of some big shot and was appreciated.

The two subordinate inspectors assigned to her are Inspector Kikuchi, a young, sunny, enthusiastic and energetic male college student who has just graduated, and Inspector Nagao, a 30-year-old young man with a gloomy face and a weathered face. Both men are good-looking and have good figures, and the female boss is such a coquettish woman. It was nothing but a deliberate arrangement to wait for the three of them to get involved and make the financial backer behind Misora ​​Masami unhappy, so that the three of them can be caught in one fell swoop.

Therefore, in the past six months, the three of them have tacitly kept to themselves and have lived in peace.

Today, the Southern Air Police Department specifically requested them to go out on a patrol mission together. Nagao and Kikuchi felt that this was not a good thing, and when they arrived at the scene and took a look and listened, they found that it was indeed the case.

It was obvious that the Southern Air Police Chief could avoid the two of them and handle the matter alone. The only reason she brought them along was because she was afraid that the two of them would do something behind her back and stab her in the back one day.

After all, they are all colleagues in the search of the 3 series, and it is impossible to do things perfectly without telling the other two.

Looking at the two male subordinates, each with their own charming looks, with complicated expressions on their faces, Misora ​​Masami asked tentatively: "Inspector Nagao, Inspector Kikuchi, do you have any questions?"

Inspector Kikuchi regained consciousness, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made up his mind: "No doubt! Inspector Misora, please give me your orders!"

He is no longer the young man who had just graduated. He feels that as long as he relies on his strength, talent, and the continuous accumulation of cases and qualifications, he can slowly climb to a higher position step by step.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, and even one more year of working experience can crush a person to death.

When it comes to making a living, the most important things are power and background!
Inspector Kikuchi knew that his future was basically bleak. Now that his immediate superior, Inspector Minamisora, had reached out to him, he was given the opportunity to go along with the corrupt officials.

How could he let go!

Not to mention that he heard that there was a financial backer behind the Southern Air Police Department, and maybe in three to five years she could be promoted to Superintendent or Senior Superintendent, and become the female head of the Investigation Division!

I heard that Inspector Misora ​​Masami had a chaotic private life and was a flirtatious woman. I don't know what she had done in order to get promoted.

So what! ?

So what!?
And isn’t that just right?
Now Kikuchi can come in handy!
He accompanies those ugly old men with big fat bellies day in and day out, but he is a young, handsome guy with abs and a full body of energy!

Inspector Kikuchi seemed to see a bright future beckoning to him again.

He bowed straight to Misora ​​Masami. If he hadn't been worried about Inspector Nagao still being beside him, he would have wanted to get up from his seat right there and lick his female boss's shoes and toes.

Seeing the young man in such an attitude, Inspector Nagao sighed in his heart.

He has lost his former vigor and sharpness. Now Inspector Nagao just wants to live a peaceful and stable life and take care of his elderly parents until the end of their lives.

"I don't have any questions. I'll follow the arrangements of the Southern Air Police Department." The man said resignedly.

"Okay." Misora ​​Masami was very satisfied with the answers of her two male subordinates. She nodded and instructed: "Inspector Nagao will be responsible for contacting the landlord of this apartment, and Inspector Kikuchi will be responsible for confirming the identity of the deceased and contacting the deceased's family..."

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Misora ​​Masami's speech. During normal working hours, Misora ​​Masami would turn off or mute her phone, but today, she received an order from Miss Yanagihara, so she naturally turned on the ringtone of her phone all day to prevent missing her call.

Seeing that the incoming call was from the number she had specially named, Misora ​​Yami immediately perked up: "Sorry, I'll go take a call."

After saying something to them casually, Misora ​​Masami immediately left the apartment, closed the door, and clicked to answer the call in the corridor.

"Yes, it's me, Misora ​​Masami..."

"...Yes! Yes...I understand..."

The call came from Miss Yanagihara's personal maid.

After hanging up the phone, Misora ​​Masami was confused by Miss Yanagihara's completely opposite arrangements before and after.

But Misora ​​Masami understood one thing: don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and just do whatever your boss asks you to do and do it well.

Inspector Nankong received a MMS message on his mobile phone, opened it, and silently wrote down the photo and license plate number of a tram, as well as two ID photos, one of a man and one of a woman.

The woman was very outstanding in appearance, and the man was even more incomparable. Misora ​​Yami had never seen such a handsome man.

She was stunned and her mouth was watering as she thought about what had just happened on the phone, which said that this man would come to the apartment soon.

Then wouldn't I be able to see him right away?

Misora ​​Masami couldn't help but feel a little excited.

She could only hope for it, but she had not forgotten the repeated warnings from Miss Liuyuan's personal maid on the phone: if she dared to touch that man's hair, she would have to go to the countryside and be a patrol police officer for the rest of her life!

"Rika Horiguchi."

"Tetsuya Watanabe? Watanabe..."

Silently reciting the two names, Misora ​​Masami returned to the apartment.

She sighed to her two male subordinates and announced, "Inspector Nagao, Inspector Kikuchi... there is a new turn in the case.

"Huh? What?"

"How to say."

"Inspector Nagao, please contact the medical examiner now to perform an autopsy on the body of the deceased. It doesn't need to be too detailed. The deceased should have died of a severe poison. The autopsy report will be required this afternoon. Time is urgent. Please start immediately."

"Inspector Kikuchi, the name of the deceased is Momozawa Mitsu'e. Please immediately investigate her details and contact her family. She also had a roommate who was also a college classmate named Horiguchi Rika. Investigate her as well. I'll need her this afternoon as well."

"Yes!" The two men left the apartment in a hurry and went to do their own work.

Misora ​​Masami shifted her gaze to the other people who were collecting fingerprints and other work in the apartment, and went to the corridor to wait.

She didn't know when Watanabe Tetsuya would come as mentioned on the phone, so the woman could only wait and see.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long, about 20 minutes later, a tram of the same model as the one in the MMS photo stopped behind the police car. When she saw the license plate number, Misora ​​Masami knew that the real owner had arrived.

After turning around and staring at the tram quietly for a few minutes, the young female police officer walked down calmly, came to the side of the car and gently knocked on the driver's seat window.

The car window rolled down, and when she saw the man who was even more handsome than in his ID photo, Misora ​​Masami subconsciously tensed her body as a woman, she was stunned.

"Hello? What can I do for you, Officer?"

The woman who suddenly walked out of the car was not wearing a policewoman uniform, but from the white gloves on her hands and the khaki suit, Watanabe Toru still identified her identity.

The female anchor who committed suicide, the police car and female police officer downstairs in the apartment building, the police officers coming in and out of the familiar apartment on the second floor. At this moment, Toru Watanabe no longer had any illusions, and his words were trembling.

Impossible! I can't understand it either...

Biting her tongue to sober herself up, Inspector Misora ​​Masami took a step back and showed her police notebook, which contained her officer ID: “I am Misora ​​Masami from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Investigation Division’s Investigation 3rd Division.

"I'm sorry, but your behavior is very suspicious. Please show me your driver's license."

Watanabe Toru would not resist and followed orders, asking, "Excuse me, officer, what happened?"

"Hello, Mr. Watanabe, before you interrogate me, I have something to ask you, and I hope you can cooperate."

"……it is good."

"You are not a resident of this apartment building?"

"It was before, but not now."

"Then may I ask why you drove here this morning?"

Toru Watanabe did not try to cover up or deceive anyone, and told the truth about the messages and posts he saw on the Internet last night.

"One of my friends... a female classmate is an anchor. I was worried about her, so I came to see her. The apartment building she rented is right here, but I didn't expect..."

"Mr. Watanabe, you have a very keen sense of smell. Can I ask which apartment your female...sexual friend rents?"

"204." Watanabe Tetsuya said a number.

Misora ​​Masami closed her eyes gently, and when she opened them again she sighed, "Mr. Watanabe, please accept my condolences...

"We received a report today that a single woman living alone in apartment 204 died at home.

"The deceased's name is Momozawa Mitsue."

The female police officer's cold words shattered Watanabe Tetsuya's last bit of unrealistic hope.
