I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 184-186 The Murderer, Father

Hero Tosu, 47 years old, is an office worker.

Despite being given an extraordinary name by his parents, Tosu Hero was just an ordinary mortal throughout his life.

I grew up in an ordinary way, entered an ordinary university in an ordinary way, and after graduation, I entered an ordinary company and did an ordinary job as a salesperson.

However, even such an ordinary hero of the Birch region has two, no, three things that he can be proud of.

The first two stories are about Tosu Hideo marrying a remarkable wife, living a harmonious and happy life together, and having a daughter who makes him proud.

The last thing is rather insignificant.

In his spare time, Hideo Tosu enjoys reading and writing mystery novels, and has uploaded more than 50 works to novel websites.

Although the reader feedback on these mystery novels was unremarkable, it was still a source of small pride for him.

"Why did I end up like this?"

The hero of the roost lay blankly in the pit, his body growing heavier and heavier as the soil fell.

"Who told me to kill someone? The young master of a yakuza gang no less. Is this some kind of retribution? As long as I can protect Hana Ling and her child's mother, I'd be willing to die here."

On his deathbed, Tosu Hideo couldn't help but recall the afternoon he met his daughter three days earlier.

Tosu Hideo's daughter, Tosu Hana, became somewhat rebellious when she entered high school. After starting university this year, she simply moved out of the house to live elsewhere.

Fortunately, Hana Tosu's university is also in Shizuoka Prefecture, not far from home, so we can see each other a few times every month.

Three days earlier, just before the start of Japan's traditional Golden Week holiday, Hideo Tosu arranged to meet his daughter at a family restaurant, hoping she would come home so the three of them could spend Golden Week together.

But upon seeing his daughter for the first time, Tosu's anger surged within him.

Because of the bruises and swelling on Tosu Hana's fair face, it was only after Tosu Hideo's repeated questioning that he learned that she had been beaten by her daughter's boyfriend.

My daughter got a boyfriend after starting college?

Well, Tosu Hero wasn't an old-fashioned stubborn man. He had already made a plan in his mind: his daughter would get married sooner or later, but he would never agree to the marriage unless Hua Ling's partner was a civil servant.

This is absolutely outrageous!

He would not forgive his precious daughter, who had been beaten by a stranger, even if the man was a civil servant.

"You two aren't living together, are you?"

When Tosu Hideo asked that question, his daughter looked flustered, but no matter how much he pressed her for an answer, Tosu Hana refused to answer, only promising to go home for Golden Week.

After Tosu Hana finished packing her luggage and left the rented room, Tosu Hideo secretly took out the spare key, opened his daughter's rented room, and sneaked in to check.

I want to see if there are any signs of cohabitation in my daughter's rented apartment.

Tosu Hero absolutely cannot tolerate his daughter being with such a violent man!

As soon as he entered the rented room, he heard a strange noise outside the door, which seemed to be a man's voice. Startled, Torii Hero quickly hid in the closet and peeked out through the crack.

A frivolous young thug with blond hair and tattoos all over his arms walked in. As soon as he entered, he opened the refrigerator with practiced ease, picked up a beer, and started drinking.

The blond thug was drinking and bragging to his cronies on the phone that the woman he'd just gotten was really cute, and that you really do have to use your fists to make a woman obey you.

This hoodlum is actually my daughter's boyfriend?

The hero, hiding in the cupboard, was trembling with rage.

"Break up?! I'm going to kill you, kill your whole family!"

The blond thug drank can after can until he was completely drunk. Then he received a phone call, and he could vaguely hear his daughter Hua Ling's voice on the other end.

"A mere bitch dares to defy me, a man! I am the young master of the Machigumi! Those disobedient women before, I killed them all and buried their bones in Aokigahara."

Enraged, the blond-haired thug started yelling and ranting, smashing things up in the rented room.

The hero of the roosting sanctuary lived a life of discipline and protection for forty-seven years, never daring to run a red light, but at one moment a strong killing intent surged forth!

If he could, Tosu Hero would really like to kill Hana Zero's boyfriend.

However, the hero of the Birch Valley was so weak that he had never even killed a chicken or duck.

But unexpectedly, an accident happened!

After getting drunk and smashing up his rented room, Huang Mao unexpectedly discovered Nyoki Hero hiding in the closet, and the two men started chasing and fighting.

The skinny, bean sprout-like Hero Tosu was no match for the young and strong blond thug. However, during the scuffle, the blond thug, who was drunk and disoriented, slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

The hero, Torii, mustered his courage and went forward to investigate, and the blond thug collapsed and died on the spot.

I've become a murderer?!

Is this considered excessive self-defense?

Or was it manslaughter?

Even if the police don't sentence him to many years, do you think the yakuza will let him off the hook?

This blond-haired thug claims to be the young master of some kind of Machi group, and has even killed several people, yet remains at large, demonstrating his considerable power.

What if it affects Hua Ling and the child's mother?

The hero of the Birch Valley, as if possessed by a ghost, decided to destroy the evidence.

Unless a body is found, even a yakuza gang shouldn't know who to seek revenge against.

Using the criminal experience he had accumulated from writing 50 detective novels, Tosu Hero bought tools such as an induction cooker, copper coins, and aluminum foil, and dismembered the blond thug in the bathroom of Hua Ling's rented apartment.

Although it was just theory, the process went surprisingly smoothly. He flushed the minced meat down the drain, and packed the remaining large bones into his suitcase and hid them at home.

I spent a few days hiding at home in a state of anxiety, preparing to outwit and outmaneuver the gang, but in the end nothing happened.

While Hideo Tosu was gloating over his success, thinking he had gotten away with it, he was kidnapped by the Asato Group while searching for a suitable place to bury the remaining bones.

Gangs are not police officers; we need solid evidence.

Based directly on eyewitness reports of Tosu Hero appearing near the rental house, they identified him as the prime suspect and subjected him to severe torture to extract information about the young master's whereabouts.

Countless times, the hero of Tosu wanted to tell the truth and find release through death.

One life for another is one thing, but when he thought about how it would implicate Hua Ling and the mother of his child, Tori no Hero ultimately endured the hellish torture.

"It's better if I die, anyway I'm already a cripple with one arm and one leg. This is good, this is good, as long as I can protect them..."

The cascading mud had buried half of the Bird Nest Hero's face, his left eye staring blankly at the gray sky.

"Next, go find Tosu's wife and daughter; maybe they know something."

Upon hearing this, Torii Hero's left pupil contracted instantly, and he couldn't help but lift himself up, causing dirt to fall with a thud.

"Please spare my wife and children! They really don't know anything!"

"Heh. Tori, even if it has nothing to do with you, who knows if it was your daughter who did it? If the young master's disappearance is related to your daughter, even your wife will be buried with him. Don't worry, you won't be alone."

The cigarette butt at the corner of Ku Ge's mouth glowed intermittently as he sneered:

"Even if you and your daughter didn't do it, we need a scapegoat. The old man is going crazy, we have to give him an explanation."

So even if Tosu Hideo admits to doing it, Hana and the child's mother still can't escape the Mato Group's retaliation.

The bruised and swollen face of the hero, Tosu, instantly became as ferocious as a vengeful ghost, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar:

"...Ku...If you dare lay a finger on them, I, Tori no Hero, will haunt you even in death!"

"snort!"

Ku Ge nonchalantly flicked his cigarette butt into the pit, grabbed the shovel from Ya Kuza's hand, grinned maliciously, and smashed it viciously onto Bird Nest Hero's head!

"You are the eleventh person I've killed in my life. The previous ones, before they breathed their last, also shouted things like they'd haunt me even as ghosts, just like you. But..."

Brother Ku laughed so hard he was doubled over, his face contorted with madness.

"Thirty years have passed since I first killed someone, and I've been eating and sleeping soundly. Not a single person—no, not a single ghost—has come looking for me! Not one! Hahahaha!"

The hero, whose head was bleeding profusely, lay unconscious in the pit, seemingly dead.

"Keep going, and be quick."

Ku Ge tossed the shovel to Ya Ku Zha's underling and circled around the edge of the pit.

"I almost forgot about this hand."

With a casual kick, he also knocked down his left hand, where the ring finger was adorned with a wedding ring.

The mud flew everywhere, quickly burying the roosting hero alive.

Several people stomped on it again, compacting the soil and covering it with a layer of fallen leaves.

Ku Ge, along with two of his Ya Ku Zha underlings, cleaned up the traces in the vicinity, taking more than ten minutes before leaving triumphantly.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The soil trembled slightly, and a severed hand with a wedding ring on its ring finger crawled out of the mud.

The five fingers were still moving nimbly.

On the cross-section of the severed hand, long, black tentacles wriggled densely, while the other end was deeply embedded in the ground.
