Tomohisa said angrily, "Tell them that there is currently no progress on this matter. If there is any substantial progress, I will surely hold a press conference to make an announcement to the domestic and even the worldwide media." His deputy nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Suzuki! I will go and give them an answer now!" Tomohisa stopped him and said, "Oh, yes. From now on, no media or reporters are allowed to enter the premises of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department without any invitation or permission!" "Okay! I got it!" After his deputy went out, Tomohisa rubbed his temples as he felt very vexed, and he muttered to himself, "Sigh... it is really not a good thing to be entrusted with this kind of critical and difficult mission! This case has such a great influence. It is not only the people in the country who are paying attention to this matter, but even the overseas media are also interested in this case. If I do not handle this matter well, my reputation will certainly be ruined. Argh! This is so f*cking tricky!" As he was thinking about it, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as he heard his cell phone ringing, his scalp suddenly turned numb, and he could feel his veins jumping. What he was most afraid of was to answer his phone. This was because various media and reporters had been trying their best to obtain his cell phone number as they wanted to interview him over the phone. Many leaders in governmental departments were constantly calling him to ask him about the progress of the investigation of this case.
This made Tomohisa feel very troubled.
When he took a look at the screen of his cell phone, he realized that it was a phone call from his good friend's daughter, Nanako.
The Suzuki family and the Ito family had always been family friends. 2 He had also been close friends with Yahiko ever since they were young, and both of them had also attended the suniversity. Even though they were not brothers, both of them could be comparable to biological brothers. Therefore, he regarded Nanako as his own daughter too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he saw that it was a phone call from Nanako, his irritable mood was greatly relieved. After answering the call, he forced a smile as he said," Nanako, why did you suddenly think of calling me?" Nanako hurriedly said, "Suzuki, I heard that you have recently been transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. You are in charge of the investigation for the case involving Rosalie Schulz's disappearance, right?" "Yes." Tomohisa asked, "Nanako, you have heard of it too?" "That's right..." Nanako said, "Suzuki, I wonder if you have found any useful clues so far?" Tomohisa sighed as he said, "There are still no clues a t all so far. It seems as though Rosalie Schulz has just evaporated into thin air." Nanako hesitated for a moment before she said," Suzuki, I have a very good friend who revealed a clue towhen he calledjust now. So, I decided to call you immediately. I think that this clue might be of great help to you." As soon as Tomohisa heard this, he immediately asked excitedly, "Nanako, is what you are saying true? What is your friend's identity? What kind of clue did h e give you?" Nanako replied solemnly, "Suzuki, I am deeply sorry, but I cannot reveal my friend's identity to you." As she spoke, Nanako said again, "As for the clue that he gave me, he toldthe problem does not lie with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department when it comes to the fact that Rosalie was swapped out with another person. Instead, the problem lies with the Schulz family and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces." "The Japanese Self-Defense Forces?!" Tomohisa asked in amazement, "Is the Japanese Self-Defense Forces involved in this matter too?"
"That's right." Nanako said, "My friend said that the Schulz family and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were the ones who colluded to switch Rosalie Schulz with someone else. After that, they intended to deliberately push the blto the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department instead." Tomohisa hurriedly asked, "Then, what is their intention? Are they trying to save Rosalie Schulz to bring her back to the Schulz family?"
"No." Nanako replied, "Their purpose was to push the blfor Rosalie Schulz's disappearance on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department first. After that, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces would recapture Rosalie at sea and bring her back so that they could take all the credit again." 5 "What?!" Tomohisa was dumbfounded, and he blurted out, "Nanako... you... Is everything you are saying true?!" 2
Nanako replied seriously, "This is what my friend told me, and I believe in him. He said that if you want to follow this lead, you should use your connections in the Homeland Security Bureau to arrest the members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces who were out at sea to patrol the Tokyo Port yesterday! He said that if you isolate and interrogate each and every one of them, there will definitely be a breakthrough!" X
