Chapter 667

Just as Uesugi Muneyuki and Mai Xuejie and others had decided that the New Year's Super Invincible Ultimate SP of "Hand of God" would be to go to Uesugi Shrine together with 4846, Asuka finally realized she had been tricked.

Although it was said they were sleeping, Uesugi Muneyuki and she really were only sleeping together!

Although it was said they were sleeping, Uesugi Muneyuki and Shirakawa Mai were definitely not just sleeping!

I've been tricked!

Asuka, furious, covered her little head with a pillow.

Sis! The situation is urgent, after all we really should just kill Mai-sama!

Asuka finally transformed from a sharp-tongued bird into a black bird.

Kill you all!

Kill them all!

All things in heaven and earth are nurtured for man! I am Santa Claus! I rode my reindeer too fast, so I kept shouting "Chacha-chacha-chacha-chacha-chacha-chacha-chacha" all the way! Under the protection of the Village Flower Palace, Mai Xuejie, and Uesugi Muneyuki, although Asuka encountered danger, she did not suffer too much harm or torment, nor did she leave any psychological trauma, and indeed, because of this, her relationship with Uesugi Muneyuki grew even closer.

But another group of people was not so fortunate.

The next morning, with the delivery vans shuttling and phone notifications buzzing, all of Japan was drowned in a series of bold, eye-catching headlines: all major newspapers had changed their headlines by morning!

Asahi Shimbun: Vicious kidnapping and murder case in Bunkyo Ward solved! Metropolitan Police Department launched a thunderous strike, all main members of the "Hikawa Renewal Army" were arrested! Yomiuri Shimbun: The Iron Fist of Justice! Major progress made in the assassination of a former senior official by the armed core of the extremist organization "Hikawa Renewal Army"! Metropolitan Police Department struck again!

Mainichi Shimbun: From school to gun barrel, the twisted "revolution" dream shattered one by one, the Metropolitan Police Department will disclose the crime details of the "Hikawa Renewal Army". Sankei Shimbun: Victory of public safety! Metropolitan Police Department swiftly solved the serial vicious cases, demonstrating its determination to maintain social order!

NHK Morning News Flash: The extremist violent organization "Hikawa Renewal Army" has been destroyed, main suspects Kurashiki Tetsuya (alias), Fujisaki Tatsuya, and Fujisaki Kenji have been arrested, police are pursuing remaining at-large associates.

The morning news programs of all major television stations further made this the headline and broadcast it prominently.

On the television screen, blurred footage played of the Fujisaki brothers' faces covered in blood when arrested, and of them being lifted onto an ambulance under police surveillance and protection, plus the side view of Kurashiki Tetsuya in handcuffs being pushed into a police car.

Lao Ren really is a good person; he basically fulfilled his promise to Kurashiki Tetsuya, using an alias for Kurashiki Tetsuya without publicly announcing his name, and although Kurashiki Tetsuya is also guilty of multiple crimes including resisting law enforcement with firearms, after communication between police and prosecutors regarding the murders and the deaths of the former Minister of Land and the Sanjou father and son, they still did not charge him with these two offenses.

This makes it impossible for him to be sentenced to death; he will likely be sentenced to 10-15 years in prison.

The anchors, with solemn and slightly uplifting tones, praised the Metropolitan Police Department for "swift response", "decisive action", and "destroying this violent extremist organization that posed a serious threat to society in an extremely short time".

That afternoon, the Chief of the Public Relations Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Togasaki Tomonobu, held a press conference.

Dressed in a crisp uniform, facing a forest of microphones, he spoke word by word with a steady, powerful voice, announcing "partially disclosable case details": confirming that the "Lianchuan Renewal Army" was the mastermind behind a recent series of vicious incidents, including the assassination of former Deputy Minister of Land Akiyama Tadashi in Mitaka City, and the street killing and kidnapping of a female high school student in Bunkyo Ward.

Successfully arrested three armed core members of the organization: Kurashiki Tetsuya (son of a former yakuza boss, alias handled), Fujisaki Tatsuya, and Fujisaki Kenji (son of a former Diet secretary, bearing a blood feud).

Detailed description of the three's division of labor in the Akiyama case (surveillance, ambush, shooting), as well as in the Bunkyo Ward kidnapping case, their brutal acts of killing innocent civilians and kidnapping a female high school student, mentioning that the Fujisaki brothers had an internal conflict in the Kanagawa safe house due to "uneven profit distribution or panic after the plot was exposed", shooting and fighting each other, resulting in serious injuries, and finally being captured by police.

The scene displayed part of the seized evidence photos: Glock pistols, ammunition, homemade incendiary bottle materials, forged documents, and some books.

"Naturally, the Metropolitan Police Department certainly emphasized that it was our police who, through" meticulous intelligence analysis, close inter-departmental cooperation, and fearless assault operations, "finally locked down the suspects' location and in one stroke destroyed the organization's main nest, timely rescuing the kidnapped hostage Hashimoto Asuka (actually Saito Asuka, alias handled, but everyone in the world knows), avoiding more serious consequences.

Regarding the organization's leader "Sakamoto Ryoma", Togasaki Tomonobu spoke cautiously, saying "this suspect is at large and identity unknown, police are doing their utmost to pursue", but immediately shifted tone, emphasizing "the main perpetrators of violence and core members of the organization have all been apprehended, its organizational structure and operational capacity have been completely destroyed, remaining at-large personnel are weak and isolated, urging them to surrender promptly".

Japan Win Learning once again played its role.

Don't ask if "Sakamoto Ryoma" has been caught, don't ask if the police have found out who he really is, just ask if Asuka has been saved? Just ask if the assassination of the former minister has been solved? Just ask if all firearms have been netted and all participants in some "militant factions" have been arrested? The overall tone of the press conference is clear: this is a major victory for the Metropolitan Police Department, a crushing blow by righteous forces against extreme evil. The disclosure of details (especially the Fujisaki brothers' background and criminal circumstances) is highly impactful, effectively guiding public opinion.

As for the "Hope Foundation" and political background, regarding the role of Kurashiki Tetsuya's father, regarding the doubts about the Fujisaki brothers' father's "suicide" case, regarding why "Sakamoto Ryoma" could escape and whether there are deeper connections behind him...... all these more complex and sensitive aspects, Uesugi Muneyuki did not mention, and Watanabe Eiji even less so, father and son maintained a high level of tacit understanding on this matter.

First announce victory, and let Nagatachō feel victorious, and even make them feel that we here also feel victorious, which is better. Compared to the relatively unified "victory narrative" of traditional media, reactions on social media platforms are more diverse and intense, like a boiling oil pot.

Also, Japanese netizens cannot help but be emotionally stirred, because the former minister died well, I'm opening champagne! But the acclaimed Chosen Girl Asuka almost got defiled! Can this be tolerated?

#SighRiverRenewalArmy, #BunkyoWardKidnapping, #MetropolitanPoliceDidWell, #ExtremistLeftIdeologyKillsPeople and other topics quickly rose to the top of the trending list. "How terrifying! Just shooting and kidnapping at the school gate! Are these people human? No one is left! Only wolves, only rats, only hawks, honeybees, green dragons, black panthers, and even the wild榜 with ditches!

"Support the Metropolitan Police Department! For this kind of social scum, heavy fists should be used! Suggest restoring the death penalty! "

"The father of the Fujisaki brothers was actually the secretary in that case...... no wonder their psychology is twisted, but this is not their reason for killing! ""It is said there are also yakuza princes going to make 'revolution'? Pure black humor! His old man probably vomited blood from anger, why not reveal the real name? Is it related to follow-up investigation or is there some dirty deal? "

"That kidnapped female high school student is so pitiful, hope psychological counseling can keep up. Well, the Metropolitan Police Department's rescue this time was timely enough, barely not counting as a tax thief. "

"Think deeply and it's terrifying, if not for their internal conflict, would there have been another life lost? Police should strengthen patrols! "

"So quickly "all main members arrested"? The leader running away is a lie, really completely destroyed? Won't it be abandoning the vehicle to save the commander? ""Akiyama Tadashi, that extreme right-wing politician being killed, the Fujisaki brothers' father forced to "suicide"... really feels like deep water behind, the "Hikawa Renewal Army" might also be a pawn. "

"The Metropolitan Police Department only says what it can say. Where did the funds come from? Where did the equipment come from? Why aren't these mentioned? "

"Does anyone think this 'internal conflict' explanation is too convenient? Two utterly vicious kidnappers, at the critical moment, they crippled themselves? ""Immediately, intense discussion began on Japanese internet, within one day brushing out millions of entries.

Previously, on some anonymous forums and niche social platforms, there had been many accounts expressing covert admiration for the actions of the "Hikawa Renewal Army" or believing they "exposed social contradictions".

Now, under the dual pressure of bloody details and official characterization, these voices either completely disappeared or rapidly shifted, announcing the expulsion of the "Hikawa Renewal Army" from the "leftist registry":

"I used to think they dared to act and dare, now I see they are just a bunch of lunatics being used! Murderers! "

"True reform does not need terrorism. This path is wrong! "

"They are not truly left! I do not recognize! "

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department building, the atmosphere appeared to be one of exhilaration.

Investigation Division 1 felt proud of solving the major case, and the praise on media also let them share in the honor.

Watanabe Eiji, with a smile, affirmed at the Metropolitan Police Department work meeting the "excellent work" of each department involved in the case, especially the "outstanding contribution" of the Special Mission Unit and Investigation Division 1.

The names of Uesugi Muneyuki and Kashiwagi Jin were mentioned in the internal bulletin, the Metropolitan Police Department's twin walls once again saved Sakuradamon!

However, in the upper echelon's small circle, the atmosphere was much more subtle.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda Kimiaki again called Watanabe Eiji, this time his tone felt very satisfied: "Watanabe-kun, the matter has been handled well, public opinion controlled well. Prime Minister Oowada expressed satisfaction, you are capable, always making us feel at ease."

The deeper meaning in the words, Watanabe Eiji naturally understood: the case ends here, do not dig deeper.

"Currently it is still unclear what the attitude and involvement of Chief Cabinet Secretary Onoda and Minister of Finance Zaizen are, Muneyuki, give me some time." Watanabe Eiji said to Uesugi Muneyuki.

He had already learned everything from Uesugi Muneyuki's side, naturally including the escape of Sato Liang, but this time, Watanabe Eiji said nothing.

"Okay, Father."

Uesugi Muneyuki nodded and stood by the office window, looking at the traffic and people flow on the street below that seemed to have restored daily order, his expression complex. Media in revelry, public in condemnation, police in celebration.

On the surface, the "Lianchuan Renewal Army" as a violent symbol has already been toppled, social order defended, once.

But he knows Sato Liang has already fled, carrying collapsed faith and complex emotions, also bearing the identity of "contact" and more hidden messages.

Him letting him go, what effect it could have, only heaven knows.

In the rain-cleared December Tokyo sky, a hint of azure appeared.

Sunlight hit the glass curtain wall, a bit dazzling. This commotion seemed to have passed, but Uesugi Muneyuki knew very well that it was far from over. And this time, it was his and Shirakawa Mai's turn to take the initiative!
