Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister
Chapter 426 - 377: Where did Dongye Yuusei go? In this river?

Chapter 426: Chapter 377: Where did Dongye Yuusei go? In this river?

This was a question that both the police and most of the public were greatly concerned about recently, given that such a maniac with nearly sixty lives on his hands remained missing, and yet to be captured, causing everyone to be on tenterhooks fearing they’d be the next victims.

But there was an exception, Yamamoto Nai.

For three consecutive days, everything was calm, making her believe even more strongly that her idea was right; for the restless Yamamoto, being cooped up was almost driving her insane. Ignoring Shinichi Nakamura’s advice, she forcefully went out to socialize.

Shinichi Nakamura was extremely angry, but faced with Yamamoto’s parents’ request for personal protection, he had no choice but to comply since Yamamoto’s parents had directly approached Minister of Criminal Affairs, Nozawa Toshiaki. Helplessly, he had to arrange for two policemen to secretly ensure her safety.

It was then discovered that her urgency to go out wasn’t for socializing, but rather for a sexual encounter.

Behind her family’s back, she had been dating a yellow-haired, thieving, good-for-nothing delinquent as her boyfriend, completely charmed and fooled by him.

Truly the butterfly had control over the brain.

To this, Shinichi Nakamura expressed his respects and blessings and suggested locking her up tight, better not to break up and spread the disaster to others.

Incidentally, it was also feasible to use her as bait for fishing; being the easiest target among the three, if Dongye Yuusei made a move on Yamamoto Nai, he would expose his tracks.

Anyway, since she insisted on courting death, let it be a wasting asset used.

"Inspector-General, Tokyo has almost been turned upside down. Where do you think Dongye Yuusei is hiding? He couldn’t have really escaped from Tokyo, could he? But now, with the whole nation on alert, it’s been three days and we haven’t received a single tip-off." Shinichi Nakamura was utterly baffled, unable to comprehend how a wealthy heir with no criminal experience could elude the police for so long.

Could this be what they call a born natural?

Aoyama Xiu Xin was also puzzled, lounging on a chair with his legs crossed, occasionally tapping the tabletop with his pen, and said, "From what I understand about him through our brief interactions, he does not possess such meticulous thinking and excellent skills to escape the police’s pursuit."

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up so disastrously bankrupt and bereft of family.

Could he have really matured after undergoing a major transformation?

"But the reality now is that all of Tokyo is in panic because of him, and yet we can see neither hide nor hair of him." Shinichi Nakamura sighed helplessly, feeling a sense of defeat for the first time.

Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head, having no better solution, said, "Let’s keep a close eye on that foolish woman, Yamamoto Nai, for now. Dongye Yuusei can’t turn back now, with his vengeful heart being so strong, he definitely won’t spare the other three who refused to lend him money, and among them, Yamamoto Nai is the easiest to target."

So where had Dongye Yuusei gone?

And by what means had he managed to elude the police and Black Society’s manhunt, as well as the cameras and millions of eyes of Tokyo citizens, all within three days?

The answer is— the sewers.

The event traces back to the night he committed that annihilation crime. After committing the murders, he left his former friend’s house through the front door, and since it was deep at night with dim light, while walking away, he carelessly wiped the blood lingering at the corner of his eyes. Taking a turn, he accidentally stepped into an open manhole cover and fell into the sewers.

That was why the police, despite clearly seeing him leaving the crime scene from the surveillance footage at the victim’s front door, could not find any trace of him in the nearby streets’ CCTV recordings.

Although falling into the sewer was painful, fortunately, he didn’t break any bones. In his anger, Dongye Yuusei quickly realized one thing — the city’s sewers were interconnected theoretically allowing him to travel to any corner of the city, also avoiding surveillance and police search, significantly increasing his personal safety factor.

Ideals are plump, reality is skeletal.

He soon discovered, without a map or signposts, he got lost in the complex sewer system, running around like a headless fly, occasionally hearing sounds of people or traffic above ground.

He had no idea about the outside situation, unsure if there were surveillance cameras, and dared not rashly show his face.

Moreover, the sewers in January were cold, there were no sources of food, the stench was suffocating, and Dongye Yuusei ended up experiencing hardships he had never known in the first half of his life.

Sometimes, when he passed by a sewer manhole cover, he wanted to muster the courage to break open the lid and rush out, but the thought of possible surveillance, pedestrians, or patrolling police outside made him dismiss the idea.

He understood the gravity of his crimes, knowing that once caught, he would definitely not escape the death penalty.

For him, who had lost his family and was in heavy debt, death was not scary; what was truly terrifying was dying and having those three ungrateful, cold-blooded traitors like Yamamoto Nai still living comfortably.

Thus, he would not willingly be captured by the police before he avenged himself on Yamamoto Nai and the other two, preferring to starve in the sewers, waiting for a turn of events. He had resolved that if he couldn’t hold out, he would rather survive on trash and sewage. The suffering he endured now, he vowed to repay against them doubly!

"Damn you all, just you wait, I may go to prison, but I’ll send you to Hell first!"

Dongye Yuusei curled up in the sewer pipes, muttering through clenched teeth, the hatred fueling his perseverance.

"Ding ding ding ding! Ding ding!"

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a drill working, momentarily stunned, thinking he was hallucinating from hunger. But he soon confirmed he was not wrong; in the middle of the night, there were indeed people working.
