Chapter 168 Eight Years



“Looks like it’s getting bigger.” Tsukuda wryly smiled.

“Anybody who wants to be famous need only to shout, ‘I am Eiko Kotoshi’s subordinate, I was also there at the scene.’ I believe he will soon be surrounded by those reporters, and soon become famous.” A police officer sitting next to him said while reading newspapers.

“I still cannot believe such a thing would happen in this City. There are some people in Tokyo who actually did that kind of experiment.” Another thirty-something police officer unbelievably said.

“I do not know whether that woman has a brain or not, she actually wantonly exposed such a thing out in the open. Now Japan is completely famous. I really doubt whether she is actually a Japanese.” A forty-something old police officer sneered.

Hearing his words, several other police officers looked at each other and said nothing.

The man continued: “Just wait and see, the above will definitely not let her. I really want to see that woman’s final fate would be.”

“Martin, this seems a bit excessive. Although she is usually somewhat fierce, she was, after all, our boss.” Tsukuda opened his mouth to say.

Martin looked up at him and loudly said: “ What kind of good thing that woman has given you? You think she did the right thing? Things like these will make our entire Nation down, if she even had a little bit of patriotism, she would not do it like this. This is the same act as collaborating with the enemies, a treason. If this is before the war, she would have been strangled. Even an accomplice who speaks kind words to her like you did will not end well.”

“I am just stating the facts, what accomplice. Please pay attention of what you says? Senior.” Tsukuda sneered.

“It’s because people like you, who only know how to have fun, that Japan become more and more depraved.”

“I think it’s people like you, who stubbornly talk about patriotism, that will turn our nation into what you said.” Tsukuda sarcastically said.

“Bastard, say it again if you dare.”

“Do you think I am afraid of you?”

“You two, stop this quarrel.” Seeing the tension between the two was getting heavier, several other police officers quickly pulled them away from each other.

At this time, in the conference room on the third floor of the Tokyo Police Headquarters, the atmosphere was also similarly depressing.

After several marathon interrogation, the police officer sitting in the middle of the room looked at the indifference looking policewoman, “Advisor Eiko Kotoshi, I am very disappointed by your act and decision. Why don’t you call the headquarters to privately inform the situation instead of exposing it to those reporters without permission? Your action has violated the police procedure, a serious act of bypassing ranks. The Director is very concerned about this matter, I hope you can explicitly say your remorse and accept your deserved punishment.”

Looking at the several high level police officers in senior uniform sitting in front of her like she was a criminal, Eiko Kotoshi, with ice-cold tone of voice, said: “After my encounter with the experimental body that escaped from the lab, I was was ready to proceed with the investigation about this thing. My former boss, that has just been removed from office and prosecuted, Police Superintendent Yokoten, ordered me not to investigate this matter. Afterwards, it was proved that he is one of the implicated officials in this human experimental case. I did not know how many high-ranking police officials that were involved with this matter. Therefore, in order to ensure that the truth is out, I did not notify the headquarters without making sure that this thing come to light. I am just being a police officer bound by the duty, if this is wrong, I have nothing to say.”

The several high-ranking police executives did not think that the woman’s eloquence was so sharp, and for a time did not know what to say.

After a while, the Police Commissioner dryly coughed and few other police executives immediately reacted.

“Advisor Eiko, no matter what your motives are, your unauthorized action still fall on the bypassing ranks behavior. Moreover, you have stirred controversy in the community, this is an inescapable fact. As for how your punishment would be, after our deliberations, we will notify you. Now we want to ask for the details of the people who helped you escaped from the basement.”

The female police inspector secretly sighed, they still ask this question, “I am very sorry, I really do not know who they are. They all covered their faces, except for knowing their gender, I know nothing else.”

“Advisor Eiko, please do not use this excuse to deflect our question.”

“I am telling the truth, believe it or not, that depends on you.” Her tone turned cold again.

“You....” One of the police executives, who had so far never contradicted her, suddenly angry and stood up.

“Police Head Dashiyama, please do not be angry. Advisor Eiko, you go back and think this clearly, if you remember anything, just notify us. We are very optimistic about you, and hope you do not let us down.” The Commissioner said with a kind face.

“Thank you, if there is nothing else, I want to go back.”

“Before we decide your punishment, you have to rest at home for a few days.”

“I know.” For this result, Eiko Kotoshi was not in the least bit surprised.

After she went out of the room, one of the police executives said to that commissioner: “Mr. Furoba, why don’t you remove her from her post, this woman is really an outrage.”

The Commissioner shook his head, “We cannot do it right now. Now everyone knows her existence, if we remove her from office, the people outside will think we retaliate against her, and this will confirm that the police executives are also involved in this thing. Mr. Director specifically told us to handle this case with care.”

“I understand, Mr. Furoba.”

For a few days, no matter what time, as long as you turn on the TV, you can see the overwhelming follow-up reports on the human experimental case. It’s rating, for the first time, was higher than the adult programs, so more and more TV stations rushed to present their reports.

Although the basement was only a temporary storage for the pieces of equipment used in the experiment, those reporters, who were accustomed to taking things out of context, completely took it as the test laboratory for the human experiment. Because in addition to those endless number of pieces of equipment and instruments, the police also rescued a lot of illegal immigrants that were kept in the basement. They were all emaciated and dressed in worn-out clothes, which made them even more pitiful.

The ‘Patriotic Official,’ who has always been loved by many people, the current Mayor of Tokyo Shintaro Ikeyama was taken away by the police and no one knew where he was afterward.

Compared to what happened here, the thing that was referred to as the recording tape of the personal confession by the Tokyo Mayor Shintaro Ikeyama, included the list of the officials involved in the case, which made the entire Japanese Politics greatly shocked.

For a time, various political parties came out to scold those accused parties, after all, they do not often have this kind of pulverizing an already defeated enemy opportunity.

Although one of the Congressmen loudly shouted that the tape was fake, in the face of strong evidence and momentum, his sound was drawn out. Because after the appraisal from the experts, the voice inside the tape indeed belonged to Shintaro Ikeyama’s. Just that no one knew exactly who was the man who kept asking him questions.

Under such strong opposition, to quell the popular discontent, all the officials who were involved were dismissed and prosecuted. But the number of the different political parties, as well as the officials who were involved, were truly unprecedented in the Japanese political history and the world political history.

Just casually opened the newspaper or turned on the TV, one can see the verbal fights between the political parties. This time, the conditions in all levels of government in Japan can only be described with the word chaotic.

But no matter how noisy those lawmakers were, ordinary people still have to work as usual. Only on their leisure time did they started cursing about the subject.

“Unexpectedly there is such a thing.” Watching the TV, who continuously reported about the case daily, the lying upon Lei Yin Naoko sighed.

“Do not watch this show, it will only worsen the mood the more you watch.” Lei Yin picked up the remote control and changed the channel.

“Em.” Naoko turned her head back against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

“I am sorry, these few days I have something to do so I could not come to see you.” Lei Yin stroked her fine like silk hair.

“No need to say it, I understand.” Naoko slightly propped up her body and tenderly looked at him.

Watching her hair hanging down from top to bottom, her absolutely beautiful face, and her gentle as water eyes, Lei Yin suddenly understood about something. That was, the reason for why at the present age he rebirthed in Japan was perhaps because he has to meet with this beautiful woman.

“Naoko, do you believe in fate?” Lei Yin stretched out his right hand and gently stroked her cheek.

“Previously not, but since I know you, I have started to believe it.”

“And the reasons?”

Naoko’s voice was as gentle as water, “I think I was born into this world to wait for you.”

Lei Yin’s pupils instantly turned into full size. He slowly sat up, and then gently pulled her head. Finally, the two people’s forehead touched each other.

“You know what? I think so, too.” With that, he kissed her tender and luscious red lips.

The beautiful woman was gentle and eager to respond to her lover’s request. A trace of tears seeped out from her eye, then slowly fell along her crystal clear skin.

The two people’s body temperature continued to climb as they kissed. Did not know when he started it, but Lei Yin’s hand was already under Naoko’s short skirt, actively wandering around touching the crucial spots. Spurred on by the intense stimulation, the whole body of the lying down beneath him mature beauty became as hot as fire, and her exposed skin was suffused with pink gloss. Intermittent waves of maddening moans from her breathing continuously echoed throughout the room.

Everything happened quite naturally. But when Lei Yin has just completely opened the buttons on the beauty’s clothes, a burst of ultra killjoy ringtone sound sounded in their ears.

Lei Yin wanted to pretend not to hear, but the blushing like a drop of red blood Naoko could not help but chuckle.

“Come one, pick it up. Maybe there is something important for you.” Naoko gasped for breath and said.

Lei Yin sighed, bowed his head, kissed her cheek, and then picked up the phone from the table.

After looking at the caller id at the screen, “Hello, is this Maeda? What happened?”

“You call me just to ask me out for dinner?”

“Come on, two big men like us, what is there to see.”

“Fine, I will go looking for you.”

After he hung up, Lei Yin said to Naoko, who has not lost her blush: “Maeda is in the nearby restaurant, he wanted me to go to dinner with him, do you want to come?”

“Maybe he has something to talk about with you, I better not go.”

“That guy is nearby, it does not matter. Your stomach should also hungry, let us go together.”

“Em.” Naoko sweetly smiled, after not seeing him for so long, she did not want to be separated from him even for an hour.

Arriving at the appointed restaurant, Lei Yin saw that except for Maeda who blocked his “affair,” there was a woman sitting next to him. Lei Yin was also very familiar with that woman, it was Eiko Kotoshi.

If he had known she was here, Lei Yin would not have come. That night, he covered his face with a black cloth and also deliberately changed his voice, but a person’s body was very easy to read, not to mention that was just a few days ago. He can only hope that she failed to see anything.

“Masashi, here.” Seeing Lei Yin, Maeda immediately stood up and waved at him.

After taking their seats, Naoko immediately greeted her lover’s stepfather and Eiko Kotoshi.

Maeda did not think Naoko would come, and somewhat unexpectedly returned the greeting.

Lei Yin looked at Eiko Kotoshi and said: “I cannot believe that even police inspector Eiko Kotoshi also come, do you have something official to do?” He started to talk first to let the woman hear his voice so that she did not jump into conclusion.

“No, I happened to be passing by and encountered advisor Eiko who just walked out of the police headquarters, therefore we get together for dinner,” Maeda explained.

“So it’s like this. Have you ordered your food?” Lei Yin was somewhat hungry.

“Not yet, you guys go ahead.”

“I won’t be polite then. Naoko, what would you like to eat.” Lei Yin opened the menu with his right hand and held it in front of her with his left hand.

“You let Mr. Maeda order first. I will order later.” Naoko blushingly said. Seeing Lei Yin being so considerate to her in front of his stepfather, Naoko felt both sweet and somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing her like this, Lei Yin smiled, “You are so nervous, later on, how would Maeda dare to invite you for dinner. Do you want to order a package? Too lazy to think.”

“Em.” Naoko blushingly nodded.

Although Ryutaro Maeda knew that Naoko was previously Masashi’s teacher, he always thought the six years age difference between them would be their biggest obstacle, but looking at them now, he started to think that maybe this was not going to be a big deal. Perhaps this guy Masashi has always been too mature. In contrast, the very thin skinned Naoko looked smaller than him.

Eating in a relaxed atmosphere continued. However, Eiko Kotoshi has been silent the entire time. Sometimes when Maeda asked, she would give him a polite answer.

Wanting to understand about her situation, Lei Yin nonchalantly said: “Police Inspector Eiko Kotoshi broke such a big case, I wonder if there is any reward from the above? For example, a promotion, a raise or something.”

Hearing his words, the female police inspector’s face immediately fell. And the nearby Ryutaro Maeda desperately signaled him with his face, meaning that he should not ask about the matter again.

Unexpectedly, Eiko Kotoshi did not stay quiet this time but opened her mouth.

“Perhaps the above will award me with a big vacation.” She said with a sneer.

So she was just being kept out of office, Lei Yin felt relieved. Although the woman has a bad temper, after all, she had used her to come forward to expose this thing. If she was removed from office, then that was a bit too harsh for her.

No longer asking her, Lei Yin turned to Maeda to ask about Rumiko and Rumi’s situation. In order to investigate the matter, he has not been back for nearly two weeks and was somewhat worry.

At this time, Eiko Kotoshi suddenly asked, “Mr. Maeda, is your stepson a Kendo-ka?”

Hearing her question, Lei Yin’s heart was suddenly alarmed, and immediately replied: “No, Police Inspector Eiko why all of a sudden ask this question?”

“Nothing, just think that you look a bit like someone.” The female police inspector looked at him in the eyes.

“Really? It is normal for people to have some similarity.” Lei Yin raised his cup to take a sip and took this opportunity to avoid her gaze.

“Masashi, I heard from Rumiko that you often instruct Rumi in Kendo at home, is that right?” Ryutaro Maeda strangely asked.

His grandmother! Why can’t you just shut up! Lei Yin cursed in his heart.

“In fact, it’s not really an instruction, Rumi only asked me to become a spectator so I can see her moves more clearly. Right, Rumi is attending a cram school right? I remember she said she was ready to participate.”

“Em, I am not very clear about that, I am sorry.” Because of his work, he was often not at home. Ryutaro Maeda always felt guilty about this.

Lei Yin did not ask the follow-up question, just casually asking other things.

Although he was speaking with Maeda, he always felt being punctured by thorns because he sensed Eiko Kotoshi has been watching him.

When she got home, Eiko Kotoshi wearily lied on the bed.

She was not tired because of the case, but because of the powerlessness feeling that came out of her heart.

It finally ended. After eight years of waiting, it should be considered as done.

She just refused to think that her father was really dead. And not a glorious way to die either.

But in any case, her father was finally able to reclaim his humanity at the last seconds.

The matter regarding her father, in addition to the man called Outsider, she did not tell it to anyone else. On second thought, she decided to tell her mother about her father’s death, she has the right to know about this matter.

She walked to her mother’s room and gently knocked on the door.

“Is it you, Eiko? Come in.”

Pushing the door open and walking in, she found her mother was knitting a sweater.

“Eiko, what happened?” Sayaka Kotoshi looked at her daughter who has not come to her room for many years.

“Mom, I have something to tell you.”

“Sit down first and then say, what’s the matter?” Sayaka Kotoshi put her wool ball to the side.

Watching her mother’s eyes, Eiko Kotoshi was somewhat difficult to open her mouth.

After a while, she took a deep breath and said: “Mom, dad he....is dead.”

To her surprise, her mother did not look surprised, but lightly said, “Really?”

Seeing her expression, Eiko Kotoshi’s heart filled with a strong anger, Hearing that her husband has died, how could the wife be so indifferent?

Just when she was ready to stand up and leave, Sayaka Kotoshi suddenly said a sentence that really surprised her.

“Actually, I have long known that your father is dead.”

“What did you say?” She suddenly stood up, not because of anger but because she was greatly surprised.

Sayaka Kotoshi went on to say: “One night after he disappeared for a year, I suddenly got a call from him. At that time on the phone, he is very excited, as if drunk. He said a lot of things, but I did not understand everything. Until two days later when I saw the coverage on the TV, I slowly began to understand what he said.”

“So what happened then, what else did he say?”

“He told me not to wait for him, moreover, he wanted me to find another person to remarry. When I asked where he was, he refused to say anything. In the end, he only said he wanted to use his own life to atone for what he has done wrong. And then he hung up the phone.

After that phone call, I contacted the police but did not find anything. Because I was afraid to make you worry, I never told you about it. I always thought he would come back, turns out he really is dead.” At this point, Sayaka Kotoshi burst into tears.

Seeing this woman, who had waited for her husband for eight years, Eiko Kotoshi was unable to say anything, just tightly holding her bitterly crying mother.
