Chapter 75: In full swing

"Urgent broadcast, the Minister of Justice publicly reported that Shinsuke Shiroyama's son Kotaro Shiroyama was involved in the Momoiro murder case 20 years ago, and the Democratic Constitution Party fell into turmoil......"

……

As Katsumasa Yamaoka stood alone on the streets of Shinjuku, watching the urgent news on a giant screen outside the department store building, he forgot he was crossing the street. It wasn't until cars suddenly slowed down and appeared in front of him that he quickly bowed his head and apologized, and then hurried to the other side of the road.

"According to the latest information we have received, the Minister of Justice of the Democratic Constitutional Party, Nobuko Ando, suddenly released a video accusing the current DPP member Kotaro Shiroyama of killing people 20 years ago at the 197th session of the House of Representatives held this morning. According to eyewitnesses who were present, just as the prime minister stepped onto the podium, Nobuko Ando suddenly asked to speak. She then played a new testimony from a witness to the murder of a Ginza hostess by a member of Parliament 20 years ago......"

Immediately after the host announced the news, the TV screen immediately appeared on the screen of the incident that took place in the House of Representatives this morning.

Seeing this scene on the big outdoor screen, Yamaoka Katsumasa couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, and then he suddenly raised his head, carefully checked his location, and then ran straight in the direction where Songan was.

……

"Mr. Yamaoka, are you ...... Aren't you on vacation?"

When Katsumasa Yamaoka ran all the way back to Matsuan, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Sakurako, the manager, greeting the guests in front of him. Sakurako couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when she saw that Yamaoka Katsumasa was out of breath and out of breath. But...... Without waiting for her to step forward and ask carefully, Yamaoka Katsumasa immediately said anxiously to Sakurako:

"Administrator, please...... Could you please help me contact the Lin ...... last time? Director Lam, I ...... I have something very important to tell him!"

"Huh?"

……

At the same time that Katsumasa Yamaoka hurriedly ran back to Matsuan to ask Sakurako for help. A huge storm is also brewing on the part of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Smack!"

With a crisp snap of fingers sounding in the office area, many cadres couldn't help but subconsciously bow their heads and pretend to be busy. Speaking of which, this annoying snapping of fingers seems to be the last thing the cadres in the Metropolitan Police Department want to hear. Because every time you hear this voice, it means that someone is being targeted by the difficult monitoring room.

But...... To the surprise of many people, the last place where the snap of the fingers disappeared was actually the Ministry of Public Security, which also made everyone feel unhappy, and when everyone saw Yuan Zhizhu personally walking into the area where the Ministry of Public Security was located with his subordinates, everyone couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

……

"Chief Cabinet Minister, if my guess is correct, Minister Ando's actions can only temporarily catch Shiroyama Shinsuke off guard, if we can't find evidence of Shiroyama Shinsuke's involvement in the crime as soon as possible in the shortest possible time. Then it will still be us who fails. ”

In Keiko's office, Lin Shuichi said affirmatively to Section Chief Matsuda and the officials of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office. Hearing Lin Xiuyi's statement, Section Chief Matsuda couldn't help but ask Lin Xiuyi with some doubts:

"Why, haven't we already found evidence of Kotaro Shiroyama......'s murder? Isn't that enough to bring down Shinsuke Shiroyama?"

Hearing the question raised by Section Chief Matsuda, Keiko took the initiative to explain to the other party:

"I'm sorry, I also very much agree with Xiu Yijun's statement. Judging from the evidence we have, it is still impossible to bring down Shiroyama Shinsuke, and ...... Maybe even Kotaro Shiroyama won't be punished in any way?"

"Nani?"

"Senior, have you forgotten the statute of limitations? This case occurred more than 20 years ago, and if you look at it from a time perspective, this case was invalid before the Ministry of Justice abolished the statute of limitations for homicide cases, so it ...... Now, even if we prove that Kotaro Shiroyama is guilty, I am afraid that the court will not impose any punishment on him. ”

"What...... How...... ...... like this"

Hearing Lin Shuichi and Keiko's calm explanations, Section Chief Matsuda, who was still excited about today's events, couldn't help but fall into disappointment again. However, Lin Xiuyi's next words made Section Chief Matsuda have new expectations.

"Senior, although today's events can't bring any substantial trouble to Kotaro Shiroyama and Shinsuke Shiroyama. But...... However, it cleared the way for us to investigate the Shiroyama Councilor and the Shiroyama Research Association. I believe that as long as we hurry up and work hard to track down, we should be able to find new clues from Shiroyama Shinsuke. But...... Time is running out for us!"

……

As soon as Lin Xiuyi finished saying this, the cadres from the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office first bid farewell to Keiko, and then left Keiko's office in the National Police Agency. After seeing the people from the District Prosecutor's Office leave with the evidence provided by the IRS, Jingzi said to Lin Xiu in a heartfelt manner:

"Shuichi-kun, the people of the District Attorney's Office are just acting on orders, and now Minister Ando has declared war on Shinsuke Shiroyama. If we don't get the key evidence as soon as possible, it is very likely that Shinsuke Shiroyama's power will mobilize the Constitutionalist Party to submit a motion of no confidence in the Minister of Justice to the House of Representatives, and if Minister Ando loses his position as Minister of Justice, the investigation will be stopped immediately. Right now...... Minister Ando and I have now put our all on you!"

Hearing Jingzi's heart-to-heart words, Lin Xiuyi lowered his head with some hesitation. Then he said to Jingzi with a little apology:

"I'm sorry, but as a police officer, it's my job to find out the truth...... I still hope you can understand this!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's sudden answer, Jingzi looked at Lin Xiu with some appreciation and smiled. This guy is really stubborn!

"Well, then you can forget what I said!...... If I were forced to quit my job, I would love to try a new life......! Please take care of me in the future!"

……

Hearing Jingzi's last meaningful words, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little big. However, he still saluted Keiko, and then left the office of the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the National Police Agency with the also confused Section Chief Matsuda.

When Lin Xiuyi and Matsuda Goro walked into the elevator, Matsuda Goro couldn't help but ask Lin Xiuyi with some curiosity:

"What are you going to do now?"

"I don't know, I'm going to investigate who killed Shoji Kuroda first, I think...... Now the supervision officer should have brought the people from the third public security section back to investigate!"
