Chapter 512: Chapter 443: Mrs. Abe’s Whistleblowing Letter, Investigation Team Takes Action_2

"Just water will be fine, thank you, Mrs. Abe," the Chief said with a slight smile. He then gestured for her to sit down and reintroduced himself, "My name is Miyake Jiro, I hold the rank of Chief of Police and am employed at the Kyoto Police Headquarters Criminal Department. I have just joined the investigative squad, Second Division, as the Second Department Head, primarily responsible for the case involving your husband."

"Hi! Thank you to the investigative team and thank you, Chief Miyake, for coming. Please save my poor husband, he’s been wrongly accused!" Mrs. Abe’s tears suddenly overflowed as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Your husband is indeed quite pitiful. His wife had an affair and is carrying the adulterer’s child, and he himself, after failing to threaten the adulterer, was instead framed and locked up in prison awaiting death.

Faced with Mrs. Abe’s tearful breakdown, Miyake Jiro was inwardly unfazed, adopting a strictly businesslike attitude, "Rest assured, Mrs. Abe, as long as what you say is true, we will certainly clear your husband’s name and bring those who harmed him to justice."

"Absolutely true, absolutely true!" Mrs. Abe asserted repeatedly with resolute confidence.

Miyake Jiro nodded slightly and then asked another question, "You mentioned that Naoyuki is Mayor Miyashita Hidekatsu’s illegitimate son. Do you have any evidence of this?"

"No," Mrs. Abe shook her head, and then added, "But this is almost common knowledge in the Sapporo political and business circles, and the Mayor has never clarified it."

"Would it be convenient for you to call Naoyuki now to talk about your husband’s situation?" Miyake Jiro continued.

Mrs. Abe was momentarily startled, "Ah?"

"We want to obtain some necessary evidence before he realizes what’s going on," Miyake Jiro took out a recording pen and smiled at Mrs. Abe.

It was also the simplest way to verify whether Mrs. Abe’s allegations were true or false.

After all, it couldn’t be ruled out that someone might set a trap for the investigative team, so caution was necessary.

Mrs. Abe immediately caught on, pursed her lips and took a deep breath before nodding, "Okay, I’ll call."

Miyake Jiro then activated the recording pen as everyone held their breath in anticipation. Mrs. Abe dialed Naoyuki’s number and put it on speaker, "Mr. Miyashita."

"Mrs. Abe, you didn’t used to call me this often. Is it because your husband is locked up and you no longer have to worry? Indeed, from now on we won’t have to sneak around like before. Wherever I want to do you, we can do it," the shameless Naoyuki Miyashita bantered cheerfully and, unencumbered by his father’s troubles, didn’t feel any concern. In his view, these were mere hiccups that wouldn’t affect his father.

Under the surveillance of Miyake Jiro and the others, Mrs. Abe was both ashamed and angry, her face turning red, yet she was forced to suppress her emotions, "Mr. Miyashita, do you really have to kill Mr. Ye Cheng? Can’t you spare his life? I still feel somewhat reluctant."

"Women are always soft-hearted," Naoyuki Miyashita snorted dismissively, and then softened his tone a bit, "I told you last night, the moment he tried to use our affair and our child to threaten me, he had to die. I will not leave problems for myself, a moment of soft-heartedness can lead to major troubles!"

"But... but..." Mrs. Abe stuttered, frantic, before finally coming up with something to say, "But what if he decides to take revenge and expose everything during the trial..."

"If I can send him away, then I can ensure he goes through the trial process without causing trouble. You don’t need to worry about that," Naoyuki Miyashita said confidently and, growing impatient, added, "That’s it, I’ll handle everything. You just need to take care of the child in your belly. Don’t call me if it’s nothing."

"Beep—beep—beep—"

He had hung up.

Mrs. Abe looked up at Miyake Jiro.

"That’s enough," Miyake Jiro nodded and put away the recording pen before saying, "Mrs. Abe, we need your cooperation in obtaining Naoyuki Miyashita’s hair."

We must have material evidence that Naoyuki was indeed Mayor Miyashita Hidekatsu’s illegitimate son, and DNA testing was the best option. By sending in hair samples from both individuals for comparison, we could obtain conclusive results.

"Hi! I’ll manage that," Mrs. Abe nodded; this was not a difficult task for her.

Naoyuki currently had no defenses against her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Abe, for your cooperation," Miyake Jiro bowed slightly in appreciation before adding, "Early investigations will be conducted in secret and should not alarm Naoyuki. However, for your safety, I will leave a female colleague to protect you until the case is closed. You can introduce her as your cousin who has come to take care of you during your pregnancy."

A plainclothes female officer rose and bowed to Mrs. Abe, "I apologize in advance for any inconvenience, madam."

"Hi! No trouble at all, thank you Chief Miyake, thank you officer," Mrs. Abe thanked them profusely, feeling more secure.

Miyake Jiro and his three colleagues then rose to leave, "We’ll take our leave now; we will inform you of any progress or if we need your cooperation again."

"Hi! Please take care," Mrs. Abe stood up and bowed in send-off.

After bowing in return, Miyake Jiro turned and left.

Back at the headquarters of the investigative team, he immediately went to report to Hirano Hidekazu and Gu Tian Chong, "I wrote down the number Mrs. Abe called, we can check to see if it belongs to Naoyuki Miyashita; if it does, then we can basically confirm what she said is true. As for Naoyuki’s identity, I am planning to compare his and Mayor Miyashita’s hair for a test. His hair will be easy to obtain, but getting the Mayor’s hair might require some effort."

Hirano Hidekazu did not respond, intently listening to the recording of Mrs. Abe’s phone call with Naoyuki Miyashita.

After listening, he let out a breath and said, "This recording only proves his affair with Mrs. Abe and that Mr. Ye Cheng caught them in the act, as well as the premeditated intention to end his life, but it does not directly admit that he colluded with the police to arrest Mr. Ye Cheng by framing him. To prosecute such a person, we need to be rigorous, the chain of evidence must be flawless, leaving no room for doubt."

"So we still need to prove that Mr. Ye Cheng was wronged, and look into the information of the arresting officer, Mikuriya Shouta," Gu Tian Chong added.

"Hi!" Miyake Jiro acknowledged with a nod.

Their conversation in the restaurant was not overheard by the technical unit, but the discussion within the room was clearly captured by the technical unit’s listening staff, who took the recorded conversation to Fujimoto Takayoshi to report.

"Idiot!" Fujimoto Takayoshi erupted in anger, unable to believe that Naoyuki Miyashita had caused such a mess, effectively handing a weapon to the investigative team. Taking a deep breath, he dialed Aoyama Xiu Xin’s office, "Come see me now."

If only he had not turned down Naoyuki when he first approached him, if he had helped him then, he wouldn’t now be facing such a predicament.
