Chapter 77: Mountain Rain is Coming
This morning, Justice Minister Nobuko Ando once again threw out heavyweight evidence, pointing out that the current Diet member Shinsuke Shiroyama colluded with the main opportunity to be involved in a number of criminal cases. At present, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office has announced an investigation into the incident, and this morning raided the Shiroyama Research Association, which was founded by Shinsuke Shiroyama. Some analysts have pointed out that considering that the struggle between the two major factions within the DPP -- the Shiroyama faction and the Ando faction -- is becoming more and more intense, it is becoming more and more serious. It is likely that the Prime Minister himself will announce the dissolution of Parliament and the Cabinet, and announce the holding of early general elections......"
……
"I'm sorry, this is a search warrant! Now everyone stays where they are, and no one is allowed to move around at will, otherwise, we have reason to suspect that you are trying to destroy the evidence!"
In the early morning, when black official cars sped by, they gathered outside the private residence of the city councillor. The door of Shinsuke Shiroyama's house was always closed. It wasn't until someone from the District Attorney's Office took out a search warrant that the door to the Shiroyama house finally opened.
"You ...... You do this...... Is it just reckless?"
"I'm really sorry, we now suspect that Senator Shiroyama is involved in a series of crimes, and we are about to ask him to go back to investigate, please get out of the way......"
"You ......"
Before Shiroyama's family could stop him, a group of men and women dressed in professional attire walked towards the depths of the courtyard. It wasn't until everyone came to the lawn in front of the courtyard that the prosecutor in charge saw Shinsuke Shiroyama sitting in front of the courtyard in a daze.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Councillor, I'm afraid you're going back with us!"
"Oh?"
Hearing the person from the District Prosecutor's Office questioning him, Shinsuke Shiroyama stood up from his seat in a trance. At this time, although he still tried his best to maintain his bearing. But after all, the years are not forgiving, after experiencing such a big blow, he only felt dizzy, and then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
……
In the end, the people at the District Prosecutor's Office were unable to bring Shinsuke Shiroyama back, and he was eventually picked up by ambulance. The reporters who waited outside Shiroyama's house also happened to record the historic moment when Shinsuke Shiroyama was carried into the ambulance.
……
At a time when the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office was scrambling to investigate the wrongdoing of Shinsuke Shiroyama's henchmen, the DPP was also facing an unprecedented crisis. As the previous conflict between Shinsuke Shiroyama and Nobuko Ando began to become public, it became white-hot. It is clear that the current Prime Minister is no longer able to control the situation. And this means that the ruling basis of the current cabinet no longer exists at the level of the House of Representatives.
In the face of this extremely grim situation, it seems that there are two paths before the Prime Minister, or ...... Find a way to persuade Nobuko Ando to accept it when she sees it, in order to quell the struggle between the Ando faction and the Shiroyama faction within the party. Either that, the parliament can only be dissolved.
"Mr. Ando, what do you have to do to stop, don't you...... Do you really want the Constitutionalism to be divided?"
Seeing that the Prime Minister and the Chief Cabinet Secretary were looking at him anxiously, Nobuko Ando just bowed her head and saluted the two, and then slowly said to the two:
"I'm really sorry, but I'm really sorry that this has happened. But...... As Minister of Justice, isn't it my duty to uphold the dignity of the law?"
"But...... Mr. Ando, if you continue to entangle like this, the DPP will inevitably split, right...... Is this what you'd like to see?"
I have always agreed with an old Chinese proverb, that is, the Tao is not the same, I think...... Only by getting rid of some scum can the Democratic Constitutionalism finally be reborn. ”
Seeing Nobuko Ando so forcefully refuse the Prime Minister's request for mediation, both the Chief Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. But...... Although the current crisis was caused by Nobuko Ando, the culprit was Shinsuke Shiroyama.
I don't know if it's because of a hunch that the Shiroyama family is really stormy. Just after Shinsuke Shiroyama was rushed to the hospital. The Metropolitan Police Department also officially issued an arrest warrant for Kotaro Shiroyama. When Kotaro Shiroyama, accompanied by his lawyer, got out of the car and walked into the Metropolitan Police Department's headquarters in Sakurada Gate. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time also quickly relayed the scene to thousands of households through the camera.
"Young Master, you'd better ...... Let's turn myself in!"
Just a few hours ago, when Kotaro Shiroyama heard his lawyer say such words to her, he couldn't believe his ears.
"Young master, judging from my many years of experience as a lawyer, I am afraid that you will have a hard time passing this case. Thankfully, though, this case took place more than two decades ago, just before the Ministry of Justice announced the abolition of the prosecution period for murders. In this case, even if the final investigation proves that you are guilty, the court will most likely exonerate you from criminal responsibility......"
"Eh, I didn't come to you for such a result. Do you understand it or not? If I did plead guilty, I wouldn't be able to be a member of Congress, do you know what that means to me?"
"I'm sorry. In your current situation, turning yourself in is your best option, and if you reject my advice, then ...... I don't have much more to help you!"
Hearing the last sentence left by Mr. Lawyer, although respectful but non-negotiable, Kotaro Shiroyama realized what kind of situation he was in.
……
When Kotaro Shiroyama asked his father for help, he eventually waited for the news that his father had been admitted to the hospital because of his emotional agitation. Hearing the news, Kotaro Shiroyama, who still had his last illusions, finally had to accept the reality and chose to voluntarily surrender to the Metropolitan Police Department and admit his crime.
……
"I would like to ask you to explain why the fingerprints of Saishi Hojo appear on the switch of the Imperial Hotel, about ...... And how can you explain it?"
When Lin Xiuyi came to the transfer room, he directly asked the question of fingerprints at the beginning, looking at the guy opposite who made him so embarrassed, although Kotaro Shiroyama wanted to break Lin Xiu's body into pieces. But...... His last shred of reason still made him choose to confess.
"......Fingerprints? If that's right, I guess someone from Sumiyoshikai got it for me!I had gone to Hojo's office to give him an expensive watch, but ...... The guy didn't hesitate to give me back the watch, so ...... When Fukuda from Sumiyoshikai asked what to do with the woman, I thought of using the watch as a story. ”
