Chapter 511: Chapter 443: Mrs. Abe’s Whistleblowing Letter, Investigative Team Takes Action

Morning at the joint investigation team headquarters.

It was mealtime, and the restaurant was crowded with people coming and going. Support from Tokyo had arrived last night; to maintain the purity of the team, all personnel were reassigned from places like Osaka and Kobe. Including the clerks running errands, the size of the team had grown to a hundred people.

Using the hotel as headquarters was undoubtedly appropriate, with the restaurant, meeting rooms, accommodations, and garages all ready to use, and the ability to eat, drink, and work all in one place.

Someone was there to wash the clothes and clean the premises.

Of course, nowadays the staff had to be searched every day when coming in and going out of work to prevent contraband.

Hirano Hidekazu was also having breakfast at the moment, with today’s newspaper in hand, eating and reading.

"Mr. Hino, you were right, there were indeed a lot of reports against the police last night, whether by phone or letter," Gu Tian Chong said as he walked over to Hirano Hidekazu, who was eating breakfast, sat down beside him, and handed him a letter. "Take a look at this one; I specifically picked it out for our priority investigation."

"Have you eaten, Mr. Gu Tian?" Hirano Hidekazu wiped his hands and took the letter while casually showing concern.

Gu Tian Chong directly moved the breakfast in front of him over to his side and replied with a smile, "I’m eating now."

Hirano Hidekazu smiled and shook his head, then opened the envelope and started reading the letter, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

The letter of accusation was written by Mrs. Abe.

In her letter, she hid the fact that she and her husband had conspired to entrap Miyashita Naoyuki. She merely stated that she had a moment of infidelity, slept with Miyashita Naoyuki, and became pregnant, and was later caught by her husband committing adultery. She accepted Miyashita Naoyuki’s offer of a promotion for her husband in exchange for not pursuing the matter.

But, to her surprise, Miyashita Naoyuki had no intention of keeping his word and instead instructed Mikuriya Shouta, the Chief of the third section of the Criminal Department at the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, to frame her husband and get him arrested, even claiming he would ensure her husband died in prison.

Mrs. Abe said her affair was just a momentary lapse in pursuit of excitement, and she never intended to disrupt her stable marriage and life; she could not bear to watch her husband fall victim to the adulterer. Helpless and lacking in power, and considering Miyashita Naoyuki was the illegitimate son of Mayor Miyashita Hidekatsu, she felt unable to save her husband.

Therefore, she could only ask the investigation team to clear her husband’s name and rescue him from wrongful imprisonment.

This matter could potentially involve the police and even the mayor; it had both a lower and upper limit and was undoubtedly a suitable breakthrough point to unravel the web of corruption in Hokkaido.

"Contact the reporter immediately, arrange for her protection, and further inquire about the details in person to put on record," Hirano Hidekazu immediately ordered.

"I’ve already sent someone to do that," Gu Tian Chong said as his words were followed by, "Scarface’s identity has been confirmed; he was a formal member of a local major Violent Gang, the Tangben Group. However, the subordinate who was sent to question the Tangben Group’s leader just reported that he committed seppuku at home this morning, and the police have arrived at the scene."

"Fast and decisive. In such a short time, how many people have already died? They must be afraid we will uncover something," Hirano Hidekazu sighed with emotion.

Although the restaurant was bugged with listening devices, it was too loud during breakfast with too many people, so the Technical Department of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters did not hear the conversation between the two men.

...........

Elsewhere, Mrs. Abe had been restless since mailing her letter of accusation the night before, her sleep disturbed by nightmares; she dreamed that her letter had landed in Miyashita Naoyuki’s hands, which kept her awake all night.

Even beginning to regret her impulsive action.

So she got up early, made some simple breakfast, even though she had no appetite herself, she still had to consider the baby in her belly.

While eating, she spaced out, unconsciously scooping porridge from the bowl into her mouth.

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

The sudden ring of the doorbell startled her, causing her to drop her spoon on the floor. Panicked, she stood up, looking around, then rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a fruit knife, and cautiously approached the door. Her voice dry and trembling, she asked, "Who... who is it?"

She tried to look through the peephole outside, seeing four or five figures, both men and women.

"Mrs. Abe, good day, we are from the investigation team. The Chief has seen your letter of accusation, so we have been sent to offer you protection and further understand the situation," said a young man leading three men and two women, speaking in a gentle tone.

The investigation team had grown rapidly, and to manage more effectively, Hirano Hidekazu had reorganized based on the original statuses and duties of these people, reassigning them internal positions.

Apart from clerical staff, there were ten field agents to a team, and two teams made up one section, which was directly led by four core members of the investigation team.

Hearing that it was the investigation team, Mrs. Abe did not let her guard down but instead said, "How can you prove your identities? Do you have credentials?"

"Of course," said the leading Chief, taking out his badge and placing it at the peephole. "Can you see it clearly?"

Mrs. Abe looked through the peephole and after scrutinizing, finally relaxed, put the fruit knife on the compartment of the entryway cabinet, and then opened the door.

"I’m terribly sorry. I’ve been like a bird startled at the twang of a bow. I hope you understand. Please, come in."

"Apologies for the intrusion," the Chief said, bowing with his four subordinates before stepping inside, removing their shoes at the door.

Once the five were seated on the couch, Mrs. Abe poured each of them a glass of water, and said apologetically, "I’m sorry, we are out of tea leaves."
