Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 198 Scapegoat
The intensity of interrogation by the Japanese police in the 90s is unimaginable to later generations, and the harshness displayed was just the tip of the iceberg.

In order to destroy the gangs to the greatest extent possible, the criminal police have tried every possible means - the cases of torture and forced confessions that can be seen now are all wrongful convictions against legal citizens, and there are basically no cases of torture and forced confessions against gangs that have been made public.

To be honest, there has not been a single case that was published in the newspaper.

It is conceivable how fierce the interrogation battle between the police and the gangs was under such circumstances.

Zhao Chunshu climbed up from the bottom of the gang to become a cadre, and he was sent to the palace several times. If he had confessed once, he would not have become a senior cadre of the Inagawa Society. His historical record is enough to show that he has rich experience in being tried and is a tough nut to crack.

Faced with the high-intensity interrogation by the police, the Inagawa-kai naturally had a response plan: they raised a group of "puppets" specifically for high-level officials to "betray".

This kind of person is also known as a scapegoat in the industry. On the surface, he has a legitimate job, but privately has unimportant business dealings with the gang. After the scapegoat is caught by the police, he can help the officials share the pressure of interrogation.

Moreover, the capture of different puppets can convey different messages. If more than three puppets are captured, it means that the cadres are about to collapse, and the gangs have to find a way to hire a lawyer to rescue them as soon as possible.

"There is a scapegoat at the front of Sugamo Station. He is a patrolman on the surface, but an informant in private. He occasionally earns some extra money. I am not in a position to reveal who he is."

Satake Gen paused and continued, "The client list is the foundation of Ashu's life. He won't easily give you up... Don't worry, he is always reliable."

"What if he really can't withstand the interrogation?" Fushimi Lu moved his body. His waist felt a little sore after sitting in the wheelchair for so long.

"Then even if you are unlucky, what else can you do?" Satake Gen knocked the teacup on the table.

Fushimi Shika understood in his heart, no wonder the tape was sent to the station front police station instead of to the Toshima Ward Police Station. It turned out that the sender had not yet figured out who "Tian Fa" was.

"Okay," he asked, "So what are your plans next?"

"Hold still. Everyone stay in the dark. Whoever strikes first will lose." Gen Satake took out his phone from his pocket and checked his message box. "The scapegoat is ours. I asked him to report the situation voluntarily from today on... When the sender contacts him again, he will definitely be exposed."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something very important and couldn't help asking, "By the way, didn't the tape mention where we were going to meet?"

"No." said Fushimi Shika.

"Really?" Satake Gen suspected that he was hiding something: "You said you wanted to meet the founder, but you didn't tell me how to meet him. Is that reasonable? At least you left your contact information, right?"

"Really nothing." Fushimi added, "No code words, no notes, no invisible fonts, nothing."

"Then how did they meet?" asked Gen Satake.

"How should I know? I'm not Tianfa himself," Fushimi Shika shrugged, "but I can roughly guess where the sender plans to meet."

"Where is the meeting?" Satake Gen took off his glasses and wiped them with a piece of cloth: "I can send the scapegoat to go there, maybe I can lure out the sender."

"In Sugamo Apartment." Fushimi Shika said, "The place where the massacre took place should be there."

"What's the time?" Satake Gen didn't ask for the reason. "Probably after midnight. The haunted houses on that floor are probably all rented out. If not, it means I guessed wrong."

Fushimi Shika put down his teacup, feeling that they had almost finished talking about everything.

He had no control over what happened next, as the scapegoat doll was a subordinate of Satake Gen, and the specific operations could only be planned by Satake Gen - he only needed to go home and wait for notification.

If the plan fails, or if Zhao Chunshu really confesses, they will then discuss the next step.

The two exchanged some insignificant pleasantries before parting ways.

On the way home, Fushimi Shika reviewed the deal in his mind and felt that he had neither gained nor lost money: he still had to pay a "reward" afterwards to help Satake Gen kill someone, most likely a cadre or leader of a rival gang. He planned to decide whether to deny the debt depending on his mood - he still had the leverage over Satake Gen, the secret of the police undercover, and he could live on it for the rest of his life!

When I got home, the living room was deserted.

As usual, Fushimi Shika shouted "I'm back". Gen Tamako opened the door a crack, glanced at him, made sure he was okay, and slammed the door shut.

Well, good, it seems you are still angry.

Fushimi Shika leaned on a crutch and went back to his room to rest. He always maintained a good schedule and felt that staying up late was chronic suicide - he had to stay up late tonight and he had to go to bed quickly and get some sleep to make up for the overdrawn lifespan.

On the other side, Yuan Yuzi was standing by the door, eavesdropping on the noise in the living room. She waited for a long time, but Fushimi Shika didn't come to apologize. She felt angry and sad, and couldn't help but open the door again and look out.

The living room was empty, with a wheelchair placed in the middle. Fushimi Shika must have gone back to her room to take a shower and sleep.

Didn't say a word to her.

Gen Yuzi comforted herself in her heart. It wasn't as if she didn't say anything. Didn't Fushimi-kun say "I'm back"? He must have taken the initiative to greet her. He wanted to apologize but was too embarrassed... Yeah, yes, that must be the case!
Getting a tsundere to apologize on his own initiative is harder than climbing to the sky!

Maybe Fushimi-kun has realized his mistake. On the way back, he kept thinking about how to take the initiative to talk to her. After thinking about it, he felt that the four words "I'm back" were the most natural and least awkward...

Yuan Yuzi stood at the door of the room, and the light cast her shadow on the living room floor. Before my parents divorced, the atmosphere was also like this, no one was willing to admit their mistakes, and they just stood there in silence.

If the two sides continue to be in a cold war like this, they will definitely become strangers in the end... Yuan Yuzi almost cried just thinking about it.

They are such good partners, how can they go their separate ways so easily?
Gen Tamako has seriously reflected on herself and feels that she was also wrong and should not have exposed Fushimi-kun's scars. She plans to sincerely apologize and make amends to Fushimi-kun, hoping that he can forgive her. In return, Fushimi-kun also has to apologize. Threatening to break up the friendship is really hurtful. Is their friendship so fragile?

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuzi plucked up her courage, clenched her fists, and walked to the door of Fushimi Kaka's room in her plush slippers. She wanted to knock on the door, but withdrew her hand, trotted back to her room, took the rabbit police officer with her, took a deep breath, and then stretched out her little hand and gently knocked on the door.

no response.

She thought Fushimi-kun didn't hear her, so she knocked again. Unexpectedly, an impatient voice came from behind the door: "I'm going to sleep. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say!"
