Chapter 564: , completely victorious!

After both parties successfully reached the agreement terms, Uesugi Muneyuki immediately conveyed his negotiation conditions to Watanabe Eiji and Onoda Kimiaki.

Watanabe Eiji naturally had no doubts, and in his ecstasy he immediately agreed: "Muneyuki! I agree, I agree to everything!"

"You did well, you did well!"

Nonsense, the incident occurred in Yamanashi Prefecture, what does it have to do with me, the Superintendent General? Moreover, he clearly knows that he has already offended Akimoto Daijin of Foreign Affairs due to Akimoto Shota's ascension to heaven, so offending once is offending, offending a hundred times is also offending, it's better to seize this opportunity and simply let Akimoto Daijin suffer defeat and disgrace!

Having mobilized so many resources, so much manpower and material, obtaining the Cabinet's highest approval and cross-county lightning strike equipment for Aokigahara Forest with a large quantity of controlled weapons, if he fails to produce a respectable result, that would be a major blow to his reputation and position as Superintendent General!

This is much better than the conditions Watanabe Eiji imagined!

But Onoda Kimiaki appeared somewhat hesitant.

He is the big boss of the Public Security Police, he naturally knows more, as previously mentioned, the Public Security Police have their bright side, which is fully embodied in that certain Detective Conan claiming my lover is this country's black-skinned person, while their dark side is constantly serving big figures, being lackeys, wiping bottoms.

And after the Cold War ended, the international situation eased, although there were still some espionage activities between them, they were already insignificant, under the backdrop of the Public Security faction gradually declining, whether one can help big figures settle matters, resolve matters, and handle matters has become an important indicator for Public Security leaders.

Onoda's failure to handle this matter properly, letting it surface, will undoubtedly affect him, and he will also receive an "unreliable" evaluation from the upper echelons.

The position of Public Security leader, if you don't take it, naturally someone else will!

This made Onoda somewhat torn.

However, his hesitation, Uesugi Muneyuki anticipated, he merely said to Onoda Kimiaki: "Chief Cabinet Secretary, do you need the Chief Cabinet Secretary's help? But Chief Cabinet Secretary, do you also need the Chief Cabinet Secretary's support?"

Onoda Kimiaki hearing this sentence, his pupils contracted, instantly understanding Uesugi Muneyuki's meaning.

If it were before, Onoda Kimiaki would absolutely not agree to this handling method, because it would make him seem "incompetent"! It would also make the entire Public Security Police seem "incompetent"!

But regarding Akimoto Daijin repeatedly abusing power, directing the Public Security Police to "wipe bottoms" for his son, ultimately bringing fire upon himself, yet letting the entire Public Security Police bear enormous pressure and sacrifice, this has long caused deep dissatisfaction to accumulate within the Public Security.

Letting Ōsumikawa Minoru live, letting him speak, in a certain sense, is also a silent rebuttal to that high-and-mighty, irresponsible politician.

As previously mentioned, the bureaucratic system is slow, dull, and will be knocked flat by a single blow, only knowing to lie on the ground gasping, but once this colossal entity regains consciousness, the entire system's counterattack is frenzied and lethal and will not easily cease.

Moreover, Uesugi Muneyuki hit the nail on the head: if the Foreign Minister were gone, Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda Kimiaki, wouldn't your Oni-chan have one less competitor for the Prime Minister's position?

Uesugi Muneyuki spoke a bit too bluntly, lacking the traditional bureaucrat's vague, cloud-and-mist-like seeming-to-say-yet-saying-nothing feeling, seeming to say nothing yet saying everything.

But Onoda Kimiaki understood, that was enough!

"Understood, we will do as Uesugi-kun said, our Public Security Police Security Department will fully guarantee this guy's safety!" Onoda Kimiaki finally relented: "Well done! Uesugi-kun, I and the entire Public Security Police owe you a great favor!"

Uesugi Muneyuki finally obtained an affirmative reply, he sighed in his heart.

I don't understand chemical engineering, I still don't understand Japan either?

This is a typical campaign-style governance country, without exposure, without petitions, without making a big fuss, there will be no genuine attempt to solve problems.

Many times, one must kick up a fuss to the superiors, even to higher superiors, before matters can be resolved!

Besides power only being responsible to its source, it's also because only when reaching sufficiently high superiors and sufficient height does the so-called "officials protecting each other" not become so absolute, thus creating room for breakthrough; many times this is not because the entire bureaucratic system has loopholes and is not strict enough, but because once reaching a certain degree and certain level, positions are just those few, everyone wants them, everyone wants to rise, once something goes wrong, it will naturally be exploited by enemies.

The enemy's enemy is a friend, at least can be a temporary ally.

The peak of power is extremely narrow, fundamentally cannot accommodate many people; one monarch not seeing just because discovering that the human empire's pyramid top left no position for oneself, here only squeezes in the monarch himself and the imperial chancellor Maccado, then the filial son Horus immediately launched the great birthday celebration?

Of course, here we are talking about Japan, unrelated to other countries.

After receiving affirmation from the two highest on-site commanders, Uesugi Muneyuki finally indicated to Ōsumikawa Minoru, everything is settled.

"Let's go."

"Good."

After Uesugi Muneyuki entered for more than ten minutes, Aokigahara Forest, before the abandoned wooden house.

The air in the forest seemed to solidify, all gazes fixed tightly on that closed, dilapidated wooden door. The SAT sniper's finger joints turned white from exertion, only the tense electrical hiss remained in the megaphone. In this suffocating silence, "creak."

The wooden door was pushed open from inside.

The first to come out was Uesugi Muneyuki.

He still wore that spotless white coat, expression calm, as if what he had just completed was not a negotiation brushing shoulders with death, but an ordinary academic exchange. He took a few steps forward, facing countless gun barrels and tense faces, raised his right hand, and made a clear "safe" gesture.

Then, speaking into the wireless earpiece, his voice clear and stable, he announced, this voice simultaneously transmitted throughout the entire operation channel and forward command post:

"This is Uesugi. Negotiation successful, target agrees to abandon resistance, actively. Repeat, crisis resolved."

The words had just fallen, Ōsumikawa Minoru's figure appeared at the doorway. The frenzied expression on his face had already faded, replaced by a strange calm mixed with fatigue, relief, and some unfulfilled ambition.

Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, he slowly, one item after another, took down the ANFO explosive blocks bound to his body, carefully placed them on the open ground before the door, movements skilled as if unloading daily labor tools.

Finally, he stepped forward a few steps, raised both hands high, wrists together, and proclaimed loudly:

"I, Ōsumikawa Minoru, decide to turn myself in!"

And Ikeda Erena finally, under Uesugi Muneyuki's indication, pulled out a set of silver handcuffs from behind, in a shocking shake and tremble before her chest, rushed over swiftly!

A "click" sound lightly rang.

A pair of icy handcuffs clamped onto his emaciated wrists.

This light sound, like a starting gun, instantly detonated the emotions suppressed to the extreme!

"Success!!"

"Arrested! Captured alive!!"

"Banzai! Metropolitan Police Department banzai!!"

Like a dam bursting, huge, mixed with ecstasy, venting, and immense pride, the sound wave surged skyward from all directions!

The SAT members, previously frozen like sculptures, suddenly jumped up, vigorously waving their fists, fiercely embracing comrades beside them, many even excitedly removing their masks, revealing faces drenched in sweat and tear stains!

The mobile unit members struck the ground with their shields, producing a neat and thunderous roar!

All participating police, regardless of rank, at this moment forgot themselves in cheers and shouts, transforming the fatigue, pressure, and fear of death accumulated over recent days entirely into this earth-shaking victory roar!

In the forward command post, Watanabe Eiji's tense body finally relaxed, he heavily sat back in his chair, took a long, long sigh, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turning up.

Uchimura, Criminal Investigation Department Chief, directly grabbed the communicator, excitedly shouting to all channels: "Gentlemen! We succeeded! This is the Metropolitan Police Department's victory! This is justice's victory!"

"Kobe, notify Kino's side, immediately protect this guy! Let everyone see we caught the mastermind of the bombing case! Let all outside media get a short interview opportunity!" Onoda Kimiaki roared at the top of his voice, after assigning the tasks, he then heartily smiled at the Investigation Division 1 Chief behind him: "Now, are you satisfied? Ukyo?"

Sugishita Ukyo nodded with a complex expression, contrary to his expectation, Onoda this time understood the greater good, the Division Chief had nothing to say.

Minami had already disappeared, running to the scene to find Uesugi Muneyuki.

After a while, the edge of the forest.

When reporters saw through long-focus lenses the footage of Ōsumikawa being handcuffed and escorted out, and heard the preliminary information from ahead about the successful negotiation and surrender, they too erupted completely!

The NHK reporter spoke to the camera, voice trembling with excitement: "Ladies and gentlemen viewers! A historic moment! Under the unprecedented large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Metropolitan Police Department and the brave negotiation of genius forensic pathologist Doctor Uesugi Muneyuki, the mastermind behind the shocking Minato Ward explosion case, Ōsumikawa Minoru, has laid down his weapons and surrendered voluntarily! A possible tragedy has been averted invisibly! This is a textbook-style classic operation in Japanese law enforcement history!"

Fuji Television's leading lady anchor Tei Reiji even more unreservedly praised: "Miracle! This is simply a miracle! At the critical moment when crisis was imminent, the Metropolitan Police Department relied on its overwhelming deterrent power and precise psychological offensive to resolve the crisis bloodlessly! Especially worthy of mention is Doctor Uesugi Muneyuki of the Special Mission Unit of Investigation Division 1, who is not only the scientific giant who locked onto the real culprit, but also the negotiation expert who personally went into peril! He is the pride of the Metropolitan Police Department, the true guardian protecting this nation!"

Our Tei anchor even couldn't help clamping her legs together.

Online, praise surged like a tsunami.

"Too strong! Metropolitan Police Department!"

"Doctor Uesugi! So handsome and strong! This is the nation's true guardian deity!"

"From locking onto the Tree Sea to persuading surrender, perfect!"

Amid earth-shaking cheers and camera flashes flashing like a sea of stars, Ōsumikawa Minoru, fully armed, was escorted by SAT team members toward the waiting armored vehicle.

He turned his head, took one last glance at that profound, daughter-devouring Tree Sea, then glanced once more at Uesugi Muneyuki, surrounded by countless police, thrown up, celebrating.

"Uesugi! Uesugi! Uesugi!" The police went wild.

He failed, because he was captured alive; but he seemed to have succeeded again, because he will walk toward the next stage as a "surrenderer" rather than a "self-exploder," to continue his unfinished accusation against those in power.

"Uesugi! Uesugi! Uesugi!" The Special Mission Unit cheered, Minami threw herself onto Uesugi Muneyuki and gave him a big kiss.

As for the Metropolitan Police Department, this was an undisputed, perfect, history-worthy complete victory! Steel,

Will and science, finally conquering hatred and madness!

Uesugi Muneyuki stood at the center of the cheers, enduring the fervent gazes of his colleagues, his calm exterior belied an inner turmoil surging with the fruits of their shared effort.

Com! plete! Vic! tory!

Yet facing all media's blockade, the involved party Ōsumikawa Minoru took a deep breath, and spat out the prepared words from his dry, foul-smelling mouth.

"My name is Ōsumikawa Minoru! 62 years old, graduated from Tokyo Institute of Technology! Former engineer at Showa Chemical! "

"Regarding this incident, I have something to say! "
