Chapter 993
Superintendent General Shinzou Kamiya was enjoying his "golden age."
He never imagined he would become Superintendent General so easily.
Originally, this position was never meant for him under any circumstances, but due to a series of events, Watanabe Eiji's criminal faction had seized absolute dominance; normally, after Watanabe Eiji's promotion to Police Commissioner, the Superintendent General should have been Onoda, but at this time, Watanabe Eiji's direct subordinate Mouri Takayoshi had already become Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and after Onoda's resignation, he should naturally have succeeded as Superintendent General.
But Onoda seemed to have pinched.
This was awkward, because Chief Mouri had just taken office not long ago, and at this time, a transfer would violate the promotion freeze period and also go against personnel convention.
Thus, the cold Onoda turned into the warm supervisor position, which fell upon Kamiya's head.
Therefore, in Superintendent General Shinzou Kamiya's office, there is always a black-and-white photo of Onoda Kimiaki hanging, and whenever Kamiya picks up the photo of himself and Onoda on the desk, he always feels a sigh.
When drinking water, do not forget the one who dug the well!
Onoda Kanbocho, I still remember you!
As for duties, Shinzou Kamiya also found them very easy.
In criminal matters, small cases go to Search One, big cases have Special Mission.
In public security, the public security police system suffered heavy losses in the Metropolitan Police Department's siege case, and simultaneously, Watanabe Eiji, as a criminal faction member, intentionally suppressed the public security police, so there were also not many things to do.
Peacefully and steadily retire! Go to the security company for high pay!
"With Uesugi here, I have no worries!"
However, at this moment, the door was violently knocked twice and then swiftly pushed open!
"Not good! Superintendent General! Not good!!!"
"What what???"
Superintendent General Shinzou Kamiya sat properly in his position, holding in his hand the freshly faxed "Hand of God" from Fuji TV.
Recording site brief report, he finished reading that report, then placed it on the desk surface, staring at the few lines of text for about ten seconds, then slowly raised his head to look at the incoming Superintendent General assistant: "————This TMD, what the hell is going on?"

The assistant is a Superintendent from the Public Relations Division of the Metropolitan Police Department; at this moment, fine sweat beads seeped from his forehead: "Superintendent General! This is about what happened around forty minutes ago at Fuji TV — the Special Mission Division's Uesugi Chief identified two entertainers, Sawajiri Erika and Park Yoo-chun, during program recording, followed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Narcotics Control Division and the Prosecutor's Special Investigation Unit coordinating with the Metropolitan Police Department to implement an on-site crackdown operation!"
"I know who that is!" "Superintendent General Kamiya's voice rose slightly: "I'm asking — when was this arranged?"
Who signed it? How come I didn't know?"
"This — supposedly it was directly coordinated by the National Police Agency side, Watanabe Commissioner's side — "
"
Superintendent General Kamiya's eyebrows twisted into a knot.
He lowered his head and glanced again at that report, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang twice and was answered: "Hello? I'm Watanabe from the National Police Agency."
"Commissioner Watanabe? I'm Kamiya! What the hell is going on?"
"Superintendent General Kamiya, did you see the news?"
"What I saw was not just news. I saw a large-scale law enforcement operation occurring within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department, and as Superintendent General, I am the last one to know! Why wasn't I notified?"
66
"Sorry, time was tight, I didn't have time to go through the formal reporting process." Watanabe Eiji's tone remained unhurried: "I can only say this operation was based on evidence; the Ministry of Health and Welfare side indeed had intelligence, and the Prosecutor's side also had materials. I merely had the Special Mission Division personnel cooperate a bit."
Shinzou Kamiya fell silent.
He clearly understood Watanabe Eiji's character — this guy always acts steadily, rarely engaging in such overreach.
Since he acted, there must be a reason behind it!
But as Superintendent General, he cannot appear completely unaware, as that would undermine his authority within the bureau. He pondered for a moment, then finally said in a tone between dissatisfaction and compromise: "————I know you have your arrangements. But next time, at least give me a heads-up in advance. My phone is open 24 hours a day, you know that."
66
"Will do." Watanabe Eiji said calmly: "Next time, for sure."
After hanging up, Superintendent General Kamiya leaned back in his chair, gazing at the Tokyo sky outside the window, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
He faintly guessed.
This matter is likely nine out of ten related to Nagatacho.
But this is precisely his problem — Shinzou Kamiya is not Onoda, nor is he Watanabe Eiji; he has no direct connection with Nagatacho, Onoda Kimiaki is the younger brother of the Kanbocho, and Watanabe Eiji and Onoda Kimiaki's Kanbocho have already formed an alliance.
Uesugi Muneyuki, again Uesugi Muneyuki!
Shinzou Kamiya clutched his chest, thinking you always have to give me some new trick!
But no matter what, the incident has already occurred; now to stop it, he lacks both the ability and the strength; the only thing he can do is see if he can scoop up something from this situation!
—
When the midday news began broadcasting that day, the prime-time slots of all major television stations displayed the same image: Uesugi Muneyuki pointing at Sawajiri Erika at the "Hand of God" recording site!
God's Finger!
Then accompanied by the announcer's heavy voice: "This morning, at the Fuji TV 'Hand of God' variety show recording site, a widely controversial incident occurred. Superintendent General's Special Mission Division Chief Medical Examiner Uesugi Muneyuki publicly identified two entertainers as suspected of drug violations during the program, after which relevant departments intervened — "

On social media, the topic hashtag surged to the top of Japan's Twitter trends within ten minutes, then second, third,
fourth, completely dominating all hot headlines!
"Uesugi Muneyuki identification"
"Sawajiri Erika taken away"
"Park Yoo-chun taken away"
"Hand of God bomb statement"
"Drug scene crackdown"
"Whether forensic examiners have authority"
Several topics simultaneously occupied the top eight spots on the trending list.
In the comment section, the debate lines quickly split into two factions, one faction believing that "public officials publicly identifying citizens as breaking the law is a dangerous precedent exceeding authority"!
Another faction believed that "if they really did it, what's wrong with being exposed"?
But regardless of stance, everyone's shared reaction was: shock.
And the protest voices coming from the Korean side were even more intense.
Park Yoo-chun's fan group launched a massive denunciation movement on social media: "Japanese police illegally detained Korean artists!
"
"Uesugi Muneyuki is a destroyer of the rule of law!"
"This is ruining a person's career!
"
"Public humiliation without any evidence!
66
"Immediate diplomatic protest, otherwise we will collectively commit suicide in front of the Blue House! " Related Korean topics on Korean domestic internet platforms topped the trending list, with some radical fans even beginning to organize activities to submit protest letters to the Japanese embassy.
We demand a public trial of Uesugi Muneyuki!
Countless complaints also arrived at Tokyo University's official mailbox, causing Tokyo University to feel scalp numbness.
At the same time, the formal complaint letters from Abe Entertainment and C—Jes Entertainment had already been faxed to Fuji TV and the Metropolitan Police Department.
The two companies were astonishingly consistent in their wording: "Unauthorized public identification, severe damage to artist reputation, violation of due legal process, we reserve the right to pursue all legal liabilities!"
"
Public trial Uesugi!
Meanwhile, in the Special Mission Division, everyone was caught off guard by Uesugi Muneyuki's move, everyone was paying attention to the development of the situation, only Okada Masayoshi had his eyes tightly fixed, and he and Nan'gō Yuiichi were watching the Dota match on the screen: "Triple crown! First in history C, goat! Unsolvable fatty yatoro!"
"It's actually ti triple crown! Could it be that duck head meat is really stronger than ame brother? I'm starting to have doubts." Nan'gō Yuiichi also said solemnly.
"Hey! Don't look! You guys, quickly think of a solution! Uesugi Muneyuki this guy, how did he cause another big news again!" Minami Ojou-sama held a cup of hot tea with both hands, looking dazed.
No one answered him, Maeda Toshihide squatted in the corner with his hands over his head, saying "I'm not clean", Igarashi obviously still didn't understand what had happened, Kai Toru hadn't returned to work, Eirina followed the news, only Date Nagamune had a strange expression: "Come to think of it, Section Chief, where did that Meng Shao Zhi guy go, he didn't come to work today!"
"Eh?!"
At the same time, Nagatacho, Prime Minister's Office.
Hanzawa Dai Shoushou was being made irritable and anxious by the sudden big news.
During this period, he had been fully pushing forward initiatives to further reduce Japan's national debt, reduce medical insurance exports, lower social security expenditures, increase more single taxes and childcare subsidies, raise foreigner visa and property taxes resident tax, raise overnight taxes, lower food consumption taxes.
Due to his hardline stance, the Cabinet had no choice but to put this matter on the agenda.
As previously mentioned, Japan's national debt had indeed reached a certain threshold, the Diet elders could still sleep, but sometimes they couldn't avoid facing this situation.
"How is the progress going?" Hanzawa Prime Minister asked the person sitting opposite him, Onoda Kanbocho.
"Well, regarding this, we have already included it in the agenda, but my suggestion is that we should perhaps consider it more carefully." Onoda Kanbocho's mental state at this time was already different: "I think your plan is very good, but if we could carefully review it, perhaps it would be better."
"Are you trying to stop me? Onoda Minister?" Indeed, Hanzawa immediately sensed something different in it, he felt a bit angry.
"Of course not, Prime Minister, but I think we perhaps have a more troublesome matter to handle now." Onoda Kanbocho took out a document: "From Korea, the embassy's protest, regarding that Asian Heavenly King, TVXQ's Park Yoo-chun's drug case————many fans jointly signed a willingness, demanding a public trial of Uesugi Muneyuki!"
"I know this matter————wait, aren't we discussing how to reduce national debt?" Hanzawa Prime Minister glanced twice, furrowed his brow: "Don't change the subject! Onoda Minister! yes? orno?"
"Of course, in principle I support you, Prime Minister, but this matter is more troublesome, if we cannot immediately respond, the upcoming cptpp summit might be affected." Onoda Kanbocho emphasized.
"Oh, I know you this guy!" Hanzawa Prime Minister said angrily: "Onoda! I am the Prime Minister! Acting Prime Minister! I must prove to all citizens that I have already taken office, am resourceful, decisive, effective, and represent the fundamental interests of the people!"
"Yes, Prime Minister, without doubt, you possess these!" Onoda Kanbocho deeply agreed, he immediately took out a document: "This!"
"What is this?" Hanzawa Prime Minister received the document: "Urine test sample? Shows weak positive? Damn Korean drug dog! Does this kind of person deserve to be an Asian Heavenly King, East Asian idol? However————this might not even count for much, weak positive has many possible explanations, such as sample contamination, such as accidental contact, such as involving dark dealings, you know, Koreans always have a hard mouth like a dead duck!"
"Yes, correct, then what if we add this?" Onoda Kanbocho took out another document.
"What is this? Tokyo University's inspection report? ————oh my!" Hanzawa Prime Minister looked at it and his eyes lit up: "This just————things just got interesting! Uesugi Muneyuki is? Interesting! How long has he been laying the groundwork?"
"And, what if we add this as well?" Onoda Kanbocho took out another document: "With this, let's see how Koreans will still speak?"
"Oh? Oh~oh oh oh!" Hanzawa Prime Minister glanced a few times, suddenly burst out laughing: "Now let me see how Koreans will respond! Haha! This time the Koreans' end has come! K-pop is finished!"
"This will make your approval ratings soar to the peak! Prime Minister! We will impose just sanctions on Koreans!" Onoda Kanbocho clapped and smiled.
"Ha, just as I said, it's time to let Koreans see who is the boss!" Hanzawa Prime Minister was extremely satisfied: "Onoda, you always surprise me, you are my Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Li Sun-sin!"
"Indeed! Prime Minister, you can immediately demonstrate your resourcefulness, decisiveness, effectiveness, and not rush to propose topics that would make all citizens lose favor!" Onoda Kanbocho kindly suggested.
"Indeed————well, for now cancel the proposals regarding reducing national debt and increasing taxes, this is my firm decision of being resourceful, decisive, and effective!" Hanzawa Prime Minister nodded satisfied.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Onoda Kanbocho smiled, stood up, bowed, and left holding a stack of documents.
While Hanzawa Prime Minister sat in place waiting for Onoda to leave, holding this document, laughing as he picked it up, and kissed it.
"Thank you, Park Yoo-chun, thank you, Koreans!"
