My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

"He will probably announce it in a very low-key and inconspicuous way."

jingle--

A breaking news report was interrupted during the weather forecast broadcast in the office.

"We just received a breaking news report about the new domain. Just now, around 7:00 AM, the new domain administrator of Zhai Kaihua published a new statement on an online video platform..."

Seguro Yoma immediately opened a webpage to search for information and quickly found the video.

"I found the video."

Masaki Zen walked up to Seguro Yoma's laptop.

The video has started playing.

In the video, Zhai Kaihua said: "I am Zhai Kaihua, the head of the new domain. To all the residents of the new domain, and to everyone living in Japan, I would like to extend my greetings once again."

Suicide method.

Not long ago, the new domain began to implement a new domain law that recognizes the right to die, which is what people call the suicide law.

This goes beyond the scope of the new domain law, as everyone should know.

Although the discussion was initially interrupted by the once-in-a-millennium astronomical phenomenon, the enactment of the suicide law led to a surge of suicides across the country and sparked a heated debate about the law, which at one point even overshadowed the discussion about the once-in-a-millennium astronomical phenomenon.

I am well aware that most people are on the side against suicide laws.

The law exists to bring happiness to people. A law that is not supported by the majority cannot exist, and a law that is opposed by the majority should be abolished. So how do we determine whether people support or oppose a law?

Our country's political system is democratic, which is very simple; all it takes is counting... We just need to follow the principles of democracy and determine public opinion through voting.

Ten days from today, the new regional council elections will be held to elect new regional members.

The video has finished playing.

Upon hearing Sai Kaika's video, Seguro Yoma was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "To issue a statement in such a high-profile manner... it's simply incomprehensible."

Seisaki Zen fell into deep thought: "We must change our perspective."

"What do you mean?" asked Seguro Yoma from the side.

“I’m only talking about one possibility… Sai Kaika might actually believe that suicide would be accepted by society.” This thought suddenly came to Masaki Zen.

Afterwards, Zen Masasaki took Yoma Seguro to meet with Ariyoshi Handa at a hotel.

Special Investigation Department has a rule that prosecutors in the department cannot contact reporters, so Yoshitsugu Masaki chose this hotel as the meeting place.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries between Seguro Yoma and Handa Ariyoshi, the three began to analyze why Sai Kaika, despite his significantly lower approval ratings and unfavorable situation, would announce a parliamentary election in such a high-profile manner.

But in the end, all he could do was conclude that he had rallied the small group of people who supported him into his electoral candidates, yet he still couldn't understand how Jai Kahwa could change public opinion and win the election.

the next day.

Today, another 32 people committed suicide in Xinyu.

Kasumigaseki Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters

A tall man introduced himself to Masaki Zen: "I am the superintendent of the First Investigation Division, Tora-o David."

Torao David was the chief commander of the police assistance assigned to him by Masaki Zen's superior.

As for the Investigation Division that David Torao mentioned, it is one of the departments under the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The Metropolitan Police Department comprises several departments, including General Affairs, Police Affairs, Traffic, Security, Guard, Public Safety, Criminal Investigation, and Prevention.

This includes nine sections, three SWAT teams, and one scientific investigation institute under the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.

Among them, the most important operational units are the four sections whose names begin with the word "search".

First Investigation Division: Specially responsible for major criminal homicide cases.

Investigation Division 2: Responsible for sophisticated crimes such as corruption, illegal elections, fraud, embezzlement, and dereliction of duty.

The Third Investigation Division is responsible for theft cases, such as thieves, counterfeiters, buying and selling stolen goods, robbery, and so on.

The Fourth Investigation Division is responsible for controlling gang members, stock market thugs, and so on.

Among these, the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Department can be considered a star unit, producing numerous crime dramas and mystery series. It is the most famous department within the Metropolitan Police Department.

The fact that David Torao could become the head of the First Investigation Division speaks volumes about his capabilities.

Chapter 157 Clues

After hearing David Torao's self-introduction, Zen Seisaki responded, "I'm Seisaki, a prosecutor from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. How much do you know about what we're about to do?"

"I heard it was to organize a special investigation team to investigate a series of incidents in the new region," David Torao said truthfully.

"The key is to arrest the new domain's chief eunuch, Kaika. Regarding the new domain's concept..." Seisaki Zen probed.

"A new domain concept?" David Torao looked puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Masaki Zenichi knew that the other party was unaware of the New Domain concept.

"Let's start by sharing intelligence!"

·······

After listening quietly to the information shared by Seisaki Zen, Torao David said, "So, this investigation team also needs to work behind the scenes."

"Seriously, none of us have an easy job!"

"Yes."

“But if that’s the case, how do we organize this investigation team?” With that, David Torao handed Masasaki Zen a list of members for the First Investigation Division, allowing Masasaki Zen to choose freely.

"Please prioritize selecting people who can be on the front lines." Seisaki Zen took the list, wanting to recruit Kujiin Shiya as well, and asked, "Besides, can you find some people from outside headquarters?"

"That's no problem."

"And one more for the sixth person."

David Torao and Yoma Seguro were taken aback and looked at Zen Masasaki in surprise. David Torao asked directly, "Sixth place, are you sure?"

"Yes."

David Torao and Yoma Seguro were surprised because the sixth crime in the First Investigative Division was a sex crime.

The two found it strange that a man from Zhaikaihua could be involved in a sex crime.

After agreeing on the team formation.

That evening, Masaki Zen went to the tavern to report on his work progress to Nomaru Ryuichiro.

When I returned to the Special Investigations Department office, it was already 10 p.m.

But when the door was opened, Seguro Yoma was still working overtime.

After seeing Masaki Zen enter.

Seguro Yoma suddenly stopped what he was doing: "Prosecutor Masasaki."

"what happened?"

"Here's a video related to the New Territories Council election. It seems to have been posted online by an ordinary teenager, but the content is so shocking that it's going very well online." With that, Seguro Yoma turned the laptop toward Sesaki Zen and then opened the video.

In the video, a middle school-aged boy wearing a Kamen Rider mask faces the camera and says, "My name is Taiyo. My father plans to commit suicide in accordance with the suicide law published by the new domain."

At this point, the boy's voice choked up, and he continued with a sob in his voice, "I told my father that I hoped he wouldn't commit suicide, but he still said he wanted to kill himself and wouldn't listen to me."

The boy could no longer contain his sorrow, and tears streamed down his face. He had to lift a corner of his mask and reach into his eyes to wipe away his tears.

"Everyone, please save my father!"

That concludes the video.

However, the anger in Masaki Zen's heart was ignited, and he snapped the pen in his hand. He had only one thought in his mind: to bring Sai Kaika to justice.

10:00 AM.

A large number of investigators from the Special Investigation Department and officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division arrived at the Special Investigation Department's conference room.

They were a temporary organization established under the name of a special investigation team, sent by high-ranking Japanese officials such as Morinaga Yasutaka to assist Seisaki Zen. Their purpose was to arrest the new territory's chief, Sai Kaika.

Seizaki Zen, speaking from the head seat in the conference room, said, “The purpose of the Special Investigation Team is to arrest the new district chief, Sai Kaika. To achieve this goal, two things are important: first, to find Sai Kaika who is hiding; and second, to clarify Sai Kaika’s specific crimes. We have divided our manpower into two parts: an investigation team and a crime investigation team.”

"The most likely charge against Zhai Kaihua is instigating suicide. 47 people committed suicide by jumping from the New Territories Hall."

A special investigation officer in his forties raised his hand and said, "Um, I remember there were 13 survivors who didn't commit suicide. Since there are police officers here, wouldn't it be better to get their statements from those 13 people?"

After listening, Masaki Zen explained, "The results of the interrogation of these 13 people are all on everyone's table. The results of the interrogation do not show that they wanted to commit suicide because of Sai Kaika's instructions or coercion."

The people present began to peruse the interrogation documents on the table and then read them carefully.

a long time.

An officer who had carefully reviewed all the interrogation documents said, "According to the survivors' testimonies, Zhai Kaihua gathered many women and then used some kind of drug or similar means to drug and confuse the victims. Furthermore, this method was able to circumvent medical test results."

“No, there may only have been one woman from beginning to end, and that is this woman.” As he spoke, Masaki Zen projected Qu Shiai’s photo onto the projector.

"What?!" xn

Everyone was surprised because the photos on the projector looked like different women no matter how you looked at them, but Masaki Zen said that it was a woman.

How could this not be surprising?

Tsutsui, from the sixth squad of the first investigation division, looked at the different photos, raised his hand, and spoke with a grave expression: "If what you're saying is true, then she's a truly terrifying woman! Her name..."

Seizaki Yoshimichi: "Kiku Seiai. I hope everyone in the crime investigation team can investigate this woman carefully. If we find her, we can directly point out Sai Kaika's crimes and charge him with intentional homicide."

Finally, Masaki Zen encouraged everyone, "Although we don't have many people and time is limited, please give it your all."

"Yes!"

·······

Time passed slowly.

There are only 5 days left until the new regional council elections.

Over the past few days, you, the special investigation team led by Zenji Masaki, have been working day and night to find clues about Sai Kaika.

The search team conducted inquiries centered around the new area and searched through surveillance footage from various locations, but still found nothing.

The Criminal Investigation Team also carefully investigated the communication records and activities of the 47 deceased, and conducted on-site investigations of the 13 survivors, but still found no connection between these 60 people and Zhai Kaihua.

However, they made new progress in their investigation of Qu Shi'ai.
