Chapter 164: Secret Investigation (1/2)
At the intersection between Tokyo Tama City and Fuchu City, there was a land that was preserved for urban development but has yet to be developed and has been covered with a forest of tall trees from the outside.
In the vicinity of this forest, there was an ongoing development of Golf course with several tennis courts. Regarding the construction of a large recreation center here, there have been mixed feelings from the local resident. Except for the middle and small sized businesses that were hoping after the completion of the recreational center would be able to join and the expectation of booming in business for the nearby shops, but more residents were worried that the construction of this recreational center would destroy the natural environment in the nearby area.
Walking for about five minutes from the golf course toward the direction of the highway, one can see a large European-style mansion with garden. This was the current Mayor of Tokyo Shintaro Ikeyama’s luxurious home.
Tonight, this place was holding a grand reception, the theme of which was to celebrate Shintaro Ishihara successfully became an official candidate for Senatorial election.
Although Shintaro Ikeyama himself was one of the shareholders in overseas oil development company, it did not mean that he was willing to use his own money to run the campaign advertisement. Therefore, to those business guests who were accustomed to deal with the officials, tonight’s Banquet was not a normal celebration. Otherwise, the man has just become a candidate, why would he need to celebrate it with such a pomp party? If someone accidentally opened the gifts from those guests they would find checks that can be cashed in real-time tucked in there.
Not a while ago those Presidents of the many firms that was present here already gave their gifts at the birthday banquet. And now less than two weeks later, they have to give it to the Mayor of Tokyo. Although they were secretly resentful of his greedy behavior, they have no alternative.
Because although this man was so disgusting, one thing was undeniable. That was, in the midst of so many candidates, he was the most likely candidate to be elected as a Senator.
In the eyes of general public, Shintaro Ikeyama was a powerful patriotic official. Not only he **, he was also actively anti-American. When the United States soldiers in Japan rape girls and do evil conducts, the newspapers reported it. And to this day Shintaro Ikeyama would always speak out about it, and his attitude was equally though. This made some Japanese felt that Shintaro Ikeyama was a hero for daring to speak out. He even wrote a book, which titled ‘Japan Can Say “No”’. This book, which flooded with large numbers of vulgar words, turned out to be very popular in Japan. And even some people outside of Japan have followed suit in writing books with a similar topic.
Because psychologically people sometimes needed external though person. The more though that person was, the more he can give people the “Patriotic” feeling. Shintaro Ishihara, with his profound understanding of human nature, naturally knew this. Therefore, his fame was the highest among the other candidates.
But to people who have dealt with him, knew that this man was a wolf in a suit. He was like a bloodsucking leech with insatiable appetite of sucking someone else’s blood.
In the evening around nine o’clock, the invited guests have basically in attendance.
In addition to officials from all level of political circles, the hall was filled with well-known people in the business world. At a glance, there were many well dressed, gentleman-looking men with elegant ladies. In the middle of the hall, everyone let out a large piece of open space for people to dance with their partner.
“Eiko, let us go to the dance floor to dance.” A similarly dressed in neat suit police officer Watanabe asked the woman dressed in a black long dress, who stood next to him, Eiko Kotoshi.
Unfortunately, the female inspector police did not hear his kind invitation, because she was looking at the several other guests talking with the Tokyo Mayor Shintaro Shintaro Ishihara.
“Eiko.” Seeing that his companion did not seem to hear what he said, Watanabe Muramasa gently patted her on the shoulder.
“What?” Eiko Kotoshi finally recovered her attention.
“Do you know Mayor Shintaro?”
“No. What did you just ask me a moment ago?” The female police inspector did not want to be seen through by him, quickly changed the subject.
“Come dance with me.”
“I am sorry, I do not dance.”
“It does not matter, we just do the slow dance.”
“Okay then.” Eiko Kotoshi knew it would not be good if she continued to refuse, moreover, the time was still early.
Watanabe Muramasa was very pleased to take her to the dance floor.
He was somewhat in disbelief that he actually able to dance here with her.
In fact, he never thought to attend this party, but she was the one who first asked him to participate in this event by the Mayor of Tokyo.
Although it felt a bit strange, in his excitement, Watanabe Muramasa did not dwell on it, and hurriedly asked his uncle for the invitation for tonight attendance.
After seeing the appearance of the first time dressed up Eiko Kotoshi in front of him, he cannot help but have an amazing feeling.
Under the sound of melodious music, Watanabe Muramasa slowly danced with her in the middle of the hall. Feeling the flexible and slender waist of her with his hand, he became more determined to obtain this woman.
After the end of the song, Watanabe Muramasa invited her to continue to dance, but Eiko Kotoshi said she wanted to fix her makeup. And then she walked away to the bathroom.
After leaving the hall, while no one was looking, Eiko Kotoshi quietly walked into a large room empty of people.
After closing the door, she immediately pulled up the red carpet on the floor, and then carefully observed the floor.
After determining there was nothing exceptional about it, she went to the couch and pushed it aside, and then looking at the floor behind the couch.
After watching the entire floor of the room, she focused her vision on the surrounding walls.
After a while, she quietly walked out of the room and went into another room to inspect it the same way as before.
Besides the kitchen, she quickly inspected all the rooms in the corridor. However, she did not find the existence of anything similar to a secret door.
But soon, she quickly moved her gaze toward the garden outside.
Without much thought, she immediately unceremoniously climbed out of the corridor window with an unladylike action.
She pretended to slowly take a walk around the garden, while her eyes watching the situation around her to determine there were no other people here.
After inspecting the whole garden, she did not see anything strange about it.
Is that person actually lying to me? The doubt inside the female police’s heart became heavier.
After returning to the main hall, the female police inspector came to Watanabe Muramasa’s side, only to find he was talking with a very fashionable girl.
“Ah, Eiko, you are back. Let me introduce you, this is my senior sister in the University, I also did not expect to see here.” For fear of her misunderstanding, Watanabe Muramasa hurriedly introduced her to the girl beside him.
“Oh, your girlfriend? Very pretty. Hello, my name is Akira Murorie.” That girl said with a smile.
“Hello, my name is Eiko Kotoshi, Mr. Watanabe’s colleague.” The female police inspector calmly stated her identity.
Looking at Watanabe Muramasa’s embarrassed expression, Akira Murorie smiled, “I won’t bother you guys anymore, my boyfriend is over there. Junior Watanabe, keep up your effort.” With that, she smiled and walked away.
“Eiko, senior sister Akira really likes to joke, haha.” Watanabe Muramasa forced himself to laugh.
“Mr. Watanabe, I am really grateful for your help.”
