Chapter 205: The Matter Concluded (8000)
The next day at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, dozens of senior police bureaucrats from the General Affairs Department, Police Affairs Department, Criminal Affairs Bureau, Security Bureau, Tokyo Bay Police Station, and other departments gathered together.
The atmosphere in the room was so heavy it felt like water could be wrung from the air. The young police officer who delivered documents nearly collapsed after leaving the conference room.
All the bigwigs were gathered, each with a grim face. Anyone with a weak heart would be scared to death just walking in.
For the next few days, I must be an Invisible Person in the department, a mute, constipated, Wheelchair-bound person. I'll hold it in until I get home to poop!
The photos projected onto the wall made people's scalps crawl. Some kept wiping the sweat from their foreheads as they looked.
Dismembered limbs, rivers of blood, dozens, even hundreds of Corpses piled together, and a Manor half-burned down.
These were photos sent from the Tokyo Bay area. Although the scene had been completely sealed off, Reporters with long-range lenses and short-range cameras were gathered outside, having heard the news.
The Director of the National Police Agency pinched his aching Brow with his thumb. After a long while, he looked at a capable subordinate, the Director of the Tokyo Bay Police Station.
From midnight until now, he hadn't even blinked.
"Hai." The Director of the Tokyo Bay Police Station bowed respectfully to the Director and the Officers. His naturally kind face couldn't muster even a hint of a Smile now.
Such a thing happening in the Territory of the Tokyo Bay Police Station? Who could handle it?
Our annual Mission at the Tokyo Bay Police Station is just to arrest petty thieves, we can't handle this! "At 0:45 AM yesterday, the Mori Police Box of the Tokyo Police Station received a large number of emergency calls. A violent conflict occurred at the Yashida Family Manor..."
The Director of the Tokyo Bay Police Station swallowed hard: "And a serious Gunfight took place. Currently, 165 bodies have been recovered. The Family Head of the Yashida Family, Ichiro Yashida, is missing. Additionally, it has been confirmed that the Eldest Son of the Yashida Family, Shingen Yashida, has perished!"
The more the Director of the National Police Agency and the bureaucrats from other departments listened to the report, the colder their hearts became.
The Yashida Family, that was one of Japan's foremost Zaibatsu.
A Family that could be said to control part of Japan's lifeline had been wiped out!!!
A major incident with hundreds of casualties had occurred in their jurisdiction. This wasn't just going to be on domestic news; it was likely already booked as a world news headline! The Director of the Tokyo Bay Police Station continued his report: "The Yashida Family's surveillance system was destroyed in the fire. The remaining Storage Hard Drives that were salvaged are undergoing technical recovery. However, from the scene, we infer that this was a premeditated Gekokujō tragedy involving hundreds of people!"
"According to informed sources, last night, Shingen Yashida gathered a large number of loyal followers, carrying Firearms, and entered the Old Yashida Estate! Subsequently, a Gunfight broke out within the Manor..."
Gekokujō, this was an old tradition in Japan. Many people present vaguely guessed the reason for this tragic incident in their hearts.
A long time ago, Ichiro Yashida had let it be known that he intended to pass the Yashida Family leadership to his granddaughter. Shingen Yashida, the Eldest Son, must have finally lost patience and attempted to seize power by force.
Unfortunately, it seemed Ichiro Yashida was prepared, which ultimately led to Shingen's failure and death.
The Director of the National Police Agency tapped the Office desk twice with his index finger: "What about Ichiro Yashida? Have you found his Corpse? Who else from the Yashida Family survived?"
"The Yashida Family Head is missing. Currently, besides Jirō Yashida in Brazil, the only direct blood relative still alive is Ichiro Yashida's granddaughter, Mariko Yashida! She was at the Hilton Hotel when the incident occurred!"
"Dispatch Police Officers to protect Miss Yashida! No one is allowed to approach her without orders from our Metropolitan Police Department!"
Upon hearing that only a few members of the Yashida Family remained, the Director of the National Police Agency slammed the table.
"This matter has alarmed the Prime Minister, and even the Emperor has personally inquired. We must act quickly..."
While the Director of the National Police Agency was holding the meeting, his Phone in front of him suddenly rang. Seeing the Phone Number, he quickly stood up to answer the call.
"Yes, yes, yes, we will handle the relevant matters properly. Coordinate with the Federal Garrison? Yes, yes."
To the astonished gazes of the other bureaucrats, the highest head of the police department stood up, bowing and making promises over the phone. Even a Councillor's call wouldn't warrant such respect.
"The Prime Minister just called!" The Director of the National Police Agency put down the phone, his Expression serious: "The attack on Yashida Manor has been classified as a Terrorist attack! It is suspected to be the work of the same Thugs responsible for the Terrorist attack in New York! The Federal President personally called the Prime Minister. The follow-up to this matter will now be handled by the Federal Garrison in coordination with the Federal CIA. Our Metropolitan Police Department will only be responsible for assisting in the investigation!"
The Director of the National Police Agency's Voice carried an unspeakable sense of loss. A Terrorist attack and violent conflict occurred in his own Country, yet as the highest-ranking Officer in Japan's police department, he had no Command Authority. It was somewhat laughable.
There was nothing to be done; this was the sorrow of a Semi-colonial Country.
"Alright, the meeting will end here. Dismissed—"
The Director of the National Police Agency felt somewhat disheartened—
The bureaucrats attending the meeting also had unpleasant expressions. National pride was one thing.
For politicians, it was more about interests.
Those who could sit in this room were all connected to various Zaibatsu and powerful forces behind them.
With what happened to Yashida Corporation, for them and the people behind them, it was like Vultures on the African Savanna smelling the scent of carrion, just about to feast on the fallen Yashida Corporation's Corpse, only to suddenly discover a group of Hunters with Hunting Rifles carrying the Prey away!
"Miyazaki-kun, you're the most informed. What exactly is going on? How did the Federal Garrison get involved?"
A group of bureaucrats walked out of the conference room one after another, and a few acquaintances gathered to discuss the matter.
The Metropolitan Police Department's analysis was very clear; this was obviously an internal conflict within the Yashida Family. How could it be linked to the Terrorist attack in New York?
Moreover, even if the Federation interfered in Japan's internal affairs, it wouldn't require the Federal Army stationed in Japan to step in. The whole thing seemed strange no matter how they looked at it.
The man called Miyazaki-kun looked at his colleagues, glanced left and right, and lowered his Voice: "Did you hear about the car accident involving the only son of the Minister of Internal Affairs?"
Several Middle-aged Men looked at each other, not understanding why he brought up this topic.
"Hideki Takahashi, among the younger generation, he was quite outstanding. It's unexpected that he met with an accident, what a pity!" said a tall man with somewhat graying hair.
"Accident?!" Miyazaki-kun said sarcastically: "That might not necessarily be an accident!"
"What do you mean? Is there something hidden about Hideki Takahashi's car accident?"
"If Hideki Takahashi hadn't died in a car accident, with the Takahashi Family's influence, how could they have let it go?"
"I heard from someone in the Mitsui Family that Mariko Yashida of the Yashida Family has a lover in Japan. This time, Shingen Yashida was eager to arrange an engagement with the Takahashi Family. Her man came to Tokyo, and that same night, Hideki Takahashi was involved in a car accident!"
"Hiss! The Takahashi Family can tolerate this?" A Middle-aged Police Officer listening in gasped.
"What else can they do? We in the Criminal Affairs Bureau investigated that man's Identity. He's not only a Tycoon from the Federation but also a Councillor in the Federal Senate. It's said that his intervention led to the Federal Garrison getting involved in the Yashida Family's affairs, and even the Federal President's call to the Prime Minister was his doing!"
"Do you think the Takahashi Family has the guts to offend the Federal Government? How long ago was the Plaza Accord?"
