I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 241 & 242: Searching Mount Fuji, Examining the Sea of ​​Wakasa

"The suspect, Hoshijima Kazu, male, 33 years old. Born in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, he graduated from the Information Processing Department of a prefectural high school and came to Osaka Prefecture alone. Fifteen years later, he is now a programmer at a software development company."

"The current residence is room 403 of Mutsuki Apartment in Dotonbori, Osaka Prefecture. On March 1st of this year, Mamiya Moribe moved into room 401 of Mutsuki Apartment. Kazumi Hoshijima noticed that the new neighbor on the fourth floor is a single woman, and she goes out at night and returns in the morning, always alone, without any male companion or family presence."

"When Hoshijima Kazu was one year and eleven months old, he accidentally fell into the bathtub while being held by his mother and was scalded by the boiling water, leaving large red scars on his right hand and right cheek. During his school years, he was bullied and ostracized by his classmates because of this, which gradually led to his inferiority complex and sensitive personality, making it impossible for him to have normal interactions with women. However, deep down, he desperately wanted to have a girlfriend, so he conceived a plan to kidnap Moribe Mamiya."

"After completing a series of preparatory work, including surveillance and purchasing kidnapping tools, Hoshijima Kazu planned to carry out the kidnapping of Moribe Mamiya during Golden Week. A few days ago, Hoshijima Kazu hacked into the security cameras at Mutsuki Apartment."

"On May 4th, 2014, at 11:05 AM, when Mamiya Moribe opened her door to leave, Hoshijima Kazu, who had been lying in wait, suddenly rushed into the house and locked the door from the inside. Mamiya Moribe immediately resisted fiercely and cried for help, but Hoshijima Kazu covered her mouth and nose with one hand and pushed her against the wall, while holding a kitchen knife in the other hand, preparing to kidnap Mamiya Moribe to her own room. Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, Mamiya Moribe jumped out of the fourth-floor window, fell and was seriously injured and sent to Osaka General Hospital."

"Police have recovered secretly taken photos and a series of kidnapping tools from Sing Tao Kajin's room. Sing Tao Kajin has confessed to the crimes."

"above!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

In a room inside the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters building, Uchiha Senmon nodded to the reporting officer and smiled at Tosu Hideo:

"Mr. Tosu, we have apprehended the suspect who assaulted Ms. Moribe. Are you satisfied?"

Tosu Hideo glanced at Uchiha Senmon with a complicated expression. This Uchiha Inspector from the Metropolitan Police Department was indeed decisive and efficient. In just half a day, he had identified the criminal and arrested him!

If all police forces in Japan were this efficient, that would be wonderful.

"How long will that criminal be sentenced to?" Tosu Hideo asked after a long silence.

"I haven't dealt with criminal cases for a long time, but based on my experience, stalking, attempted kidnapping, and causing serious injury usually carries a sentence of about fifteen years." Uchiha Senmon hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "If Ms. Moribe in the ICU were to die, the sentence would be increased to twenty years."

A dark aura flashed across the face of the Birdskin Hero, and he involuntarily clenched his fist.

In other words, is it possible for a scumbag like this to be released from prison in just ten or twenty years?

Does Japanese law protect good people or criminals?

"Could... you give a heavier sentence?"

"Does Mr. Tosu mean... life imprisonment? Or perhaps, the death penalty?" Uchiha Senmon asked meaningfully.

Tosuhiro's expression shifted between light and shadow. He opened his mouth, then stammered, "I... I hope that people like this can stay in prison for the rest of their lives."

"Understood."

Tosu Hideo couldn't help but feel ashamed. If his own daughter, Tosu Hana, had been harmed to this extent, he would have torn the criminal to pieces. Although Moribe Mamiya was Moribe-kun's daughter, he couldn't treat her the same as his own daughter.

"And there's Mr. Tosu. This is a survey about the social relationships of Reiko Hanyu, or rather, Reiko Moribe and her family."

Uchiha Senmon took a thick stack of documents from his assistant and handed them to Tosu Hideo.

"Thanks."

Tosu Hideo took the book, carefully read through it, then closed it with a sigh, once again feeling sorry for Moribe-kun.

This report meticulously records Reiko's past experiences from childhood to adulthood, including old grievances and scandals before she married Moribe, such as the titles of the films she made and which store she worked part-time at in Tobita Shinchi.

Reiko revealed the list of her lovers after marriage, which included a male escort named Yuzuru, totaling seven people.

"I hope these people will receive the punishment they deserve."

Instead of Moribe, who committed suicide in resentment after being cuckolded multiple times, Tosu Hideo believes that these lovers must be brought to justice.

Uchiha Senmon frowned, but then relaxed and nodded.

"As you wish."

Adultery is not a crime in Japan, and the law can't touch them, but the highest-ranking of Reiko's lovers is the general manager of Osaka Shinpei Industrial Co., Ltd., while the others are just lowlifes.

For example, that male escort has a criminal record for fraud and sexual assault.

The Uchiha clan wouldn't show any mercy to such scum; digging up old grievances and sending them to jail for a few years would be a piece of cake.

"As for that woman, send her in too!"

A look of struggle and hesitation flashed in Tosu Hero's eyes, but in the end, his face contorted with rage, and he gritted his teeth and said.

Originally, considering that Mamiya Moribe was still in the ICU and his other young daughter, Hideo Tosu wanted to be lenient and let Reiko off the hook. However, after much deliberation, he still couldn't forgive the culprit.

If Moribe were alive, he would probably do the same.

Punishing those who harmed Moribe-kun and Moribe-miya, and comforting Moribe-kun's spirit in heaven, was the first thing Tosu Hideo asked the Metropolitan Police Department to do.

"How is Masamichi Moribe doing now? And her sister...?"

"We have already dispatched the best doctors from Osaka Prefecture to treat the Moribe sisters, so please rest assured, Mr. Tosu," Uchiha Senmon reassured him.

"But Mamiya Moribe is still in the ICU, her life hanging in the balance. Her sister has a rare disease that is also very difficult to treat." Hideo Tosu said with the worry of an old father.

"Mr. Tosu, among the extraordinary individuals recruited by our Metropolitan Police Department, there are also those with supernatural abilities like yours, including doctors who can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded."

To allay Tori no Hero's concerns, Uchiha Senmon revealed a few things to him.

"I will apply to the higher-ups to have Dr. Satomi treat the Moribe sisters. If Dr. Satomi takes action, they will definitely be out of danger."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Uchiha."

"I am grateful," said Tosu Hero.

At the same time, Tosu Hero was also filled with trepidation. As the saying goes, those who offer kindness without a reason are either treacherous or thieves. If you want to take something, you must first give it. The government's preferential treatment of him must be because they covet the evil god power he obtained from the Aokigahara Forest.

Is this evil and terrifying power truly something that human beings can control?

It's unclear whether his decision to side with the government was a mistake, but there's no going back now.

At that moment, a man in a black suit walked in and whispered a few words in Uchiha Senmon's ear.

"Okay, I understand."

Uchiha Senmon turned to Tosu Hideo and said in a gentle tone, "Mr. Tosu, the helicopter to Tokyo is ready. As agreed, the helicopter will stop in Shizuoka City, where Mr. Tosu and his family can reunite."

Upon hearing this, Tosu Hero's expression immediately became excited.

Meeting with Hana Tosu and the child's mother was the third condition he proposed.

He thought he would never see the mother and daughter again after fleeing to the ends of the earth, but now things have finally taken a turn for the better, and Tori no Hideo couldn't help but shed tears.

But the next second, Tosu Hero suddenly reached out his left hand to touch his right ear, and then put his left hand in front of his eyes.

There are very noticeable stitches made of black tentacles on the right ear and left wrist, and you can even feel the black tentacles moving inside the body.

After crawling out of the Aokigahara Forest, I could no longer be considered human. Taking other people's hearts and peeling off the faces of the dead, I was practically a monster in human skin!

Can he still use these hands and this body to embrace Hua Ling and the mother of his child?

"Mr. Uchiha, let's forget about it and go straight to Tokyo."

With a pained expression, Tosu Hideo gripped his left wrist with his right hand and closed his eyes as he spoke.

Uchiha Senmon looked at Tori no Hideo with a hint of doubt. His gaze swept over Tori no Hideo's right hand, which was covering the black stitched wound on his left wrist, and he roughly understood Tori no Hideo's concerns.

"Mr. Tosu, you have plenty of time. Before you go to Tokyo, go see your wife and daughters. I am also a father and husband, and I know what you need most right now. Your wife and daughters must be looking forward to the moment of reunion just like you."

"But my body..."

The hero of the roost raised his left hand, and the black stitches on his wrist burst open, pulling out long, slender black tentacles, making him look extremely bizarre and terrifying.

"I really don't want them to see me like this, so I'd better just forget about it."

"What's the big deal? Mr. Tosu, I actually admire you very much!"

Uchiha Sage remained unfazed, firmly grasping the strange hand of Tori no Hideo connected to the black tentacles, and earnestly said:

"What you did was exactly what a father and husband should do, and probably no one could have done better in that situation. Now you can hold your head high and proudly face your wife and children."

"It's just a few physical changes, what's the big deal? Does Mr. Tosu's affection for his family also change? Mr. Tosu loves his family so much, I believe their bond with you won't be weaker than these strange occurrences!"

The warmth and sincerity in Uchiha Senmon's words touched Tosu Hideo's heart, moving him deeply.

"Thank you, Officer Uchiha."

This inspector was not only strict in his official duties, but also genuinely kind and sincere. Inspired by him, Tosu Hero regained some confidence.

"I've made up my mind. I'll go see Hua Ling and the children."

"Mr. Tosu, it's wonderful that you think that way. Your wife and children will be so proud of you."

"When can we set off?"

After figuring things out, Tosu Hero went from being uneasy to somewhat impatient.

"Anytime is fine."

Uchiha Senmon looked at Tosu Hideo's face and reminded him, "Mr. Tosu, your face..."

Hero Tosu then remembered that he was still wearing a human skin mask for disguise, and that after reaching a cooperation agreement with the authorities, he could finally take off the mask.

The veins beneath the human skin mask twisted as if they were alive, and the Bird Hero raised his hand and ripped the mask off.

Looking at the human skin mask in his hand, Torii Hero's expression was somewhat complicated.

After removing the human face peeled from the corpse, Tosu Hero felt a sense of relief, but also a sense of melancholy, unsure of what to do next.

"Mr. Tosu, could we hand over this human skin mask to our Metropolitan Police Department for research?" Uchiha Senmon asked.

"This is just a human skin mask that I peeled off a corpse. If possible, please return it to its rightful owner after you've finished studying it..." Tosu Hero sighed.

"clear."

Uchiha Senmon carefully took the human skin mask and handed it to his assistant, who put it into an evidence bag for safekeeping. When it comes to supernatural items, no amount of caution is too much.

"Mr. Tosu, we're about to set off... Excuse me, please wait a moment."

Uchiha Senmon's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, apologized to Tosu Hideo, and then strolled outside.

"Section Chief Akagi, what's the matter?"

"Uchiha, I've heard about it. You did a great job this time. You brought Tosu under your wing without any conflict," Chief Akagi praised.

"This is not my doing. Mr. Tosu is very understanding, and the mission went very smoothly."

"Uchiha, you're too modest! You've made such a great contribution, so after I retire due to illness, I'll let you take over as the head of the Fourth Investigation Division. No one else should have any objections."

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but chuckle:

"Section Chief Akagi, is there another assignment? You only go on and on with these pleasantries when you're giving me extra work."

"You really can't hide anything from me."

Section Chief Akagi's tone on the phone showed no shame; he stated bluntly:

"Uchiha, because of your theory about Mount Fuji and Penglai, and the supernatural events that occurred in Wakasa Bay, the Metropolitan Police Department is now preparing to dispatch two teams. One team will depart from Wakasa Bay and search for the Penglai mentioned by the supernatural beings in the Sea of ​​Japan. The other team will go to Mount Fuji."

"Does this mean we have to search every mountain and sea again?" Uchiha Senmon asked, frowning.

After 1990, the Metropolitan Police Department searched high and low mountains and rivers throughout Japan, but ultimately found nothing, including Mount Fuji.

"After all, Penglai might hold the elixir of immortality!" Section Chief Akagi laughed loudly.

"Uchiha, I want you to be in charge of the search for Mount Fuji."
