Chapter 1113

At this very moment, Tokyo, Japan.

Forty-eight-year-old Suzuki Tomohisa was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his newly appointed office, at a loss.

He was the newly appointed Chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Before this, he was a middle-to-high-level official in the National Security Department, and because he was very good at investigation and had a very tough style, he was very famous in the National Security Department.

This time, Su Ruoli was discovered to have been swapped, the whole of Japan was shocked, the Japanese government was overwhelmed by this, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department became the target of public criticism.

There was really no other way, the Japanese government could only order Suzuki Tomohisa to take over in a crisis.

However, Suzuki Tomohisa didn't want to take over this mess either.

As a smart person, he generally keeps his distance from such cases that shock the whole country.

Because solving such a case is certainly very fulfilling, but once he fails, it will definitely make the whole country very disappointed.

For so many years, Suzuki Tomohisa has relied on steady and steady progress, accumulating experience, successful cases, and his own popularity bit by bit.

Therefore, he likes to take on some tasks that are not so challenging and not so difficult.

Like this task with great challenge and great difficulty, he didn't want to intervene at all.

Because he had finally reached where he is today by relying on steady and steady progress, and he could completely maintain the style of steady and steady progress until retirement.

In that case, he could retire successfully and reap the respect of the people of the whole country.

Now this task with great difficulty, completing it will certainly make him take a big step forward.

But if he can't complete it, it will also make the situation and status he has gained by steady and steady progress for so many years go down the drain.

This is like a gambler who has won a lot of money and intends to play a few more hands of cards before leaving with the money.

However, the dealer insisted on letting him bet all-in at this time, putting all the money he had won before into it.

Only a fool would be willing to do such a thing.

But Suzuki Tomohisa had no choice at all.

After all, he works in the National Security Department, and in the final analysis, he is a national civil servant. Whatever the Japanese government asks him to do, he has no room to bargain.

Now, the one who decides the trajectory of his life is a foreign woman he has never met.

And he only knows that this woman is named Su Ruoli, the main culprit who killed the whole Matsumoto family. As long as he can catch her, he can be famous all over Japan; but if he can't catch her, he will disappoint all the Japanese people and become a sinner in the eyes of the Japanese people.

As for where this Su Ruoli is? Whether she is still alive? He has no clues at all.

To take a step back, even if he can't find Su Ruoli, he should at least find out how she was lured away from under everyone's noses.

Now, that substitute has died of poisoning, and several people responsible for escorting her have disappeared for no reason. The Metropolitan Police Department can't find any valuable clues at all.

Just as he was scratching his head and didn't know where to start, his deputy pushed the door in and said awkwardly: "Mr. Suzuki, many media reporters have come outside, not only our domestic NHK, Asahi Shimbun, but also many top overseas media including BBC and CNN. They all want to interview you..."

"Interview me?" Suzuki Tomohisa said with a dark face: "I just took office, what's there to interview?"

The deputy said: "They want to know the progress of the Su Ruoli disappearance case..."

Suzuki Tomohisa said angrily: "You help me tell them that there is no progress in this matter yet. If there is any substantial progress, I will definitely announce it to the national and even global media through a press conference."

The deputy nodded: "Understood, Mr. Suzuki, then I'll go reply to them first!"

Suzuki Tomohisa called him back and instructed: "Oh, by the way, from now on, no media reporters are allowed to enter the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department without invitation or permission!"

"Understood, I know!"

After the deputy went out, Suzuki Tomohisa rubbed his temples in a flustered mood and said to himself: "Sigh... as long as it is an order to take over in a crisis, there has never been any good thing! This case is so influential, not only are the people of the whole country paying attention, but overseas media are also paying attention. If one is not handled well, it is possible to destroy one's reputation. It's really damn tricky!"

Just thinking about it, the mobile phone suddenly rang.

Hearing the ringtone, his scalp suddenly felt numb, and his veins jumped wildly.

He is most afraid of answering the phone now, not only because various media are trying every means to find his mobile phone and want to interview him over the phone.

Many leaders of government departments are constantly asking about the progress of the investigation of the whole case.

It makes him extremely annoyed.

When he looked at the mobile phone screen, he found that the person calling was actually his good brother's daughter, Ito Nanako.

The Suzuki family and the Ito family were originally family friends.

He and Ito Yuhiko were good friends since childhood, and they attended the same university. Although they were not biological brothers, they were not much different from biological brothers.

Therefore, Ito Nanako was like half a daughter to him in his eyes.

Seeing that it was Ito Nanako's call, his irritable mood was greatly relieved. He answered the call, squeezed out a little smile, and asked: "Nanako, why did you think of calling me?"

Ito Nanako hurriedly said: "Uncle Suzuki, I heard that you were recently transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to be responsible for investigating the Su Ruoli disappearance case?"

"Yes." Suzuki Tomohisa asked: "Have you heard about it too, Nanako?"

"Yes..." Ito Nanako said: "Uncle Suzuki, I don't know if you have found any useful clues yet?"

Suzuki Tomohisa sighed: "So far, there are no clues. This Su Ruoli is just like evaporating into thin air."

Ito Nanako hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle Suzuki, a very good friend of mine just called me and revealed a clue, so I hurriedly called you, hoping it will be helpful to you."

Suzuki Tomohisa asked excitedly: "Nanako, is what you said true? Who exactly is that friend of yours? What clue did he give you?"

Ito Nanako said solemnly: "Uncle Suzuki, I'm sorry, I can't tell you about the identity of my friend."

Having said that, Ito Nanako added: "As for the clue he gave me... he told me that the reason why Su Ruoli was swapped silently is not because of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but because of the Su family and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces."

"Japanese Self-Defense Forces?" Suzuki Tomohisa asked in surprise: "Did the Self-Defense Forces also participate in this matter?"

"Yes." Ito Nanako said: "My friend said that the Su family and the Self-Defense Forces joined forces to swap Su Ruoli, and then deliberately dumped the pot on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

Suzuki Tomohisa hurriedly asked: "What?!" Suzuki Tomohisa was stunned, and blurted out: "Nanako... you... what you said... is it all true?!"

Ito Nanako said seriously: "This is what my friend told me, I believe his words. He said that if you want to catch this clue, use your relationship in the National Security Department to take away all the members of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces who went out to patrol at Tokyo Port last night for isolated interrogation, and there should be a breakthrough!"
