Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 256 No choice
In his office, Kazuto Uehara looked at the four or five policemen in front of him and the arrest warrant in the hands of the senior police officer in the lead. He felt dizzy.

Uehara Kazuto didn't know what was going on, but he was sure that he was going to be in trouble.

The Tokyo police suddenly attacked him, but none of his friends in the Metropolitan Police Department called in advance to inform him and do him a favor.

This illustrates two problems.

First, this matter is very serious.

Second, it happened very suddenly.

This is why all my friends didn't call me.

"What's going on?"

"The Metropolitan Police Department has evidence that you were involved in a terrorist attack in Osaka City, and is now preparing to bring you back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation...

Mr. Uehara Kazuto, please cooperate with the investigation and don't make things difficult for us."

The leading police officer said this half as a warning, half as a reminder.

Uehara Kazuto's face instantly aged several years. He did not resist. He just couldn't understand why the terrorist attack in Osaka was related to him.

However, no matter how hard he tried to figure it out, the police, public security, and the arrest warrant were right in front of him, and he couldn't escape from this matter.

"Can I make a phone call?"

Uehara Kazuto asked.

The policeman didn't say anything, but just made a "please feel free" gesture to him.

No one is stupid. Kazuto Uehara's case is special. Although there is evidence that he was involved in the terrorist attack in Osaka, the Tokyo police can see the water in the evidence behind this incident.

Even if the evidence is solid, Uehara Kazuto would not necessarily go to jail. After all, in Japan, it is an open rule that scholars and officials are not subject to punishment.

If you don't believe it, just look at a certain Japanese congressman who was caught in the act after evidence and facts of corruption were found. Didn't they just hold a press conference and say "Red Bean Paste Smith Marseille" and then let the matter go?
Uehara Kazuto was undoubtedly such a scholar-official.

Even if he was in jail, the Uehara family behind him was still there. The unlucky one was only Uehara Kazuto himself, not the family power behind him.

Under such circumstances, it was only natural for the police to be polite to Uehara Kazuto.

Under the gaze of the police, Uehara Kazuto took out his cell phone. The first call he made was not to his trusted subordinates, but to his niece.

The phone was connected after only two rings. No one spoke on the other end of the line, but Uehara Kazuto knew someone must be listening. He couldn't help but ask the first question, "How did you do it?"

On the other end of the line, Uehara Rui was silent for a while. She thought about what to say, then realized that she didn't have anything to say. After thinking for a while, she hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Uehara Kazuto had a blank expression on his face, but he had already obtained enough information.

Sometimes, not answering is actually an answer.

"I underestimated that illegitimate child..." Uehara Kazuto muttered in a low voice, and a trace of regret flashed involuntarily in his eyes.

"I underestimated playing cards even more." Uehara Kazuto took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and nodded to the police.

"Let's go, lead the way."

Uehara Kazuto's posture did not look like that of a prisoner at all, but the other policemen were used to it. Some of them even followed him fawningly, like a lackey, and did not even go through the basic body search procedure.

Kazuto Uehara could even make phone calls while walking and assign work to his direct subordinates.

If there weren't several bodyguards being pinned to the ground by the police outside of Uehara Kazuto's office, this scene would really have nothing to do with the arrest.

Uehara Kazuto was taken away. Although his cell phone was in his pocket when he was taken away, and he was able to contact the outside world while sitting in the cell, and the Metropolitan Police Department specially allocated a special fund to treat him to good food and drink, this still could not conceal one thing.

Uehara Kazuto was caught by the police after losing a step in the struggle.

The battle for the head of the Uehara family is a war with no visible smoke and bloodshed behind the scenes. The two competing parties are fighting for so many things that, to sum it up, it can be summed up in one word... confidence.

In this battle, even though Uehara Rui had the support of the Poker Organization, Uehara Kazuto, who was ranked first, still had a slight advantage. However, as time went on, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the latter, so that Uehara Kazuto had to take risky moves.

Then he was arrested by the police.

After he was arrested, not only did he automatically give up the election for the chairman of the Chiba Prefecture Agricultural Association, but even some neutral people and original supporters within the Uehara family lost their confidence in Uehara Kazuto and did not think he was capable of leading the Uehara family.

You can't even defeat your own niece in the family struggle. Now that you become the head of the family, can you still defeat those unscrupulous competitors outside the family?

This loss of confidence made Uehara Kazuto feel more miserable than losing half of his savings.

Taking advantage of Uehara Kazuto's distress, Uehara Rui quickly launched a counterattack, commanding his subordinates through the Internet and telephone, winning over neutral people everywhere, poaching his uncle's people, and instigating an early election for the president of the Chiba Prefecture Agricultural Association.

In just three or four days, Uehara Kazuto lost his position as president of the Chiba Prefecture Agricultural Association, and Uehara Rui successfully took over the position. Now all she needs is an inauguration ceremony to take the position.

Uehara Rui is very smart. She is sure that her uncle will not give up, so she decides not to leave the Red J Hotel until she truly becomes the head of the Uehara family.

He even considered moving the inauguration ceremony of the president of the Chiba Prefecture Agricultural Association to the J Hotel in Tokyo.

If it weren't for the strong opposition from some old members of the agricultural association, Uehara Ryue's plan would have succeeded.

The opposition from these old guys made Uehara Ruiyi certain that her uncle must want to lead her away from the hotel and do something at the ceremony.

Then, Uehara Rui was determined not to leave the safe zone.

This made Uehara Kazuto, who was staying in the Metropolitan Police Department's detention room, very disappointed. When he came in, he was sure that he would lose his position as the chairman of the Chiba Prefecture Agricultural Association, and many supporters and fence-sitters within the family would be won over, and he would lose his advantage.

Therefore, Uehara Kazuto wanted to take advantage of the situation and use this opportunity to make Uehara Ryue feel satisfied and then leave the Red J Hotel rashly.

However, not all plans can be successful. Uehara Kazuto unfortunately suffered a failure. His niece's caution exceeded his expectations.

"So, I have no choice, do I?"
