Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister-Chapter 755 - 615: Cutting Off One’s Own Arm, In the Shadows, Former Me, Bloodline!

Chapter 755: Chapter 615: Cutting Off One’s Own Arm, In the Shadows, Former Me, Bloodline!

Ozawa Ichiro took a deep breath, closed his eyes in slight pain, and said, "The New Party carries the hopes of countless members, and it’s also the hope for national revival. We cannot hand over this country to the evil Liberal Democratic Party again just because of Mr. Tengji! We must aggrieve Mr. Tengji for the great cause of the party and for the nation’s revitalization to make some sacrifices. I will persuade him to confess as soon as possible. This case must be settled quickly, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for us."

The main reason was the tight schedule. The result of the prime ministerial race would come out within a month at the most. Under circumstances where the situation was already unfavorable for them, they couldn’t afford to waste more energy on this matter.

They could only use a swift and decisive approach to minimize the negative impact of this matter and focus more energy on gaining votes to strengthen their power.

"But Mr. Ozawa, if we do this, it would be like losing an arm for me!" Hatanaka Zizi lamented bitterly.

Ozawa Ichiro exhaled, "A person can live with just one arm, and still kill and triumph over enemies, but once the venom spreads throughout the entire body through the arm, it’s too late!"

"Alas! Forget it, forget it!" Hatanaka Zizi seemed to go through an extremely painful struggle before making the difficult decision, "I have to take responsibility for the New Party and the country, so I can only wrong Mr. Tengji. After all, he has worked hard for the country for many years and should have a good rest, let those of us outside continue to shoulder the burden for him. However, Mr. Ozawa, we must make every effort to compensate his family."

The compensation was not only to appease Tengji Yu to balance his mind but also to make him think about his family outside and sit in jail without worries.

"Of course." Ozawa Ichiro nodded in deep agreement, then his demeanor changed drastically, his eyes fiercely glaring, he said, "Cutting off a limb to survive is a compelled move, but this doesn’t mean it’s over. While confessing publicly to calm the situation, in secret, we must continue to seek evidence that Mr. Tengji was wronged. If we can find it, not only can we clear his name, but we can also counterattack Yanchuan Shilang."

"Yes! Mr. Ozawa, you are absolutely right." Renping Kuniaki responded and said, "Last night, all the people like Tanben Yifu at the club are in the know. However, they, being members of the parliament, are willing to commit such heinous acts as murder framing. It’s almost impossible to turn them against each other."

"That’s why I believe Oda Hidehiko’s secretary, Miyazaki Junichi, is the best breakthrough point. After all, he is relatively lower in status, and he is also the first to witness the crime scene. As long as he is willing to change his testimony, it will draw the Liberal Democratic Party into the storm of murder framing. I believe most members of parliament do not like such methods from the Liberal Democratic Party, right?"

"Exactly! As long as the Liberal Democratic Party has the suspicion of murder framing, other members of parliament will naturally feel a sense of shared fate in adversity. Our advantage will instead expand further." Ozawa Ichiro nodded in agreement.

Political struggles resulting in deaths are ordinary; the bigwigs are never afraid of bloodshed because it is usually the subordinates who bleed, and they don’t care. After all, many bones lie beneath a general’s success, but if the bigwigs bleed, that’s unacceptable.

Oda Hidehiko was one of the bigwigs. If the bigwigs knew it was Yanchuan Shilang who killed him, they would surely dread if he would kill others too. How could it be acceptable for such an unprincipled guy to be in power?

Aoyama Xiu Xin also knew this, so at first, he hadn’t prepared to kill Oda Hidehiko, but circumstances forced him to, choosing the lesser of two evils.

"Renping, I’ll leave the task of turning Miyazaki Junichi to you." Hatanaka Zizi looked at him and said.

Renping Kuniaki nodded heavily, "Yes!"

Then he was sent off by the two.

Making the decision was difficult, but after the decision was made, it became much easier. Ozawa Ichiro exhaled and said, "Tanben Yifu and those dozen people with Oda Hidehiko usually cluster together. If not for last night’s incident, we wouldn’t have realized Yanchuan Shilang had won them over. His advantage is getting bigger."

"But why would they kill Oda Hidehiko? Just because of disagreements?" Hatanaka Zizi couldn’t understand this but speculated, "There must be some hidden truth we don’t know about in this. As long as we can turn Miyazaki Junichi, everything will come to light. Perhaps the hidden motivations that led to Oda Hidehiko’s murder will deal a fatal blow to the Liberal Democratic Party, taking Yanchuan Shilang out of the race."

"Hmm." Ozawa Ichiro nodded in agreement, adding, "Yamahana Shigeru’s side also needs to speed up the progress, one gaining while the other loses, we definitely cannot let Yanchuan Shilang’s advantage continue to expand." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Let’s stop the plan against Yamahana." Hatanaka Zizi shook his head and, seeing Ozawa Ichiro’s puzzled look, explained with a sigh, "Yanchuan Shilang’s advantage is getting more significant. I fear that any schemes at this time might backfire, failing to win over Yamahana but instead pushing him to the opposite side, in which case, there will be no turning back. I plan to meet with him openly one more time and have a frank discussion. I don’t believe that, as one of the competitors, he can’t see there’s something fishy about Oda Hidehiko’s death."

After all, their original plan wasn’t that meticulous, and the affair with Tengji Yu is about to embroil the New Party in a storm. At this moment, we cannot have additional troubles. Otherwise, the momentum will be gone, and even the last chance to fight back would disappear.

"It’s fine." Ozawa Ichiro nodded, looking at Hatanaka Zizi with admiration in his eyes, "Hatanaka, you truly have the composure of a king! People like Yanchuan Shilang, who are ruthless and only engage in scheming, cannot beat you. I have never heard of anyone who can stabilize and govern a country through mere conspiracy."

"Do you think last night’s incident was orchestrated by Aoyama Xiu Xin? After all, he is always good at doing dirty work for his adopted grandfather." Hatanaka Zizi said with a sarcastic look.

Ozawa Ichiro snorted coldly, "Definitely; it was most likely directed by Yanchuan Shilang, and he executed it. Otherwise, why was it only his phone that couldn’t be reached? And why was it his men who just happened to be at the scene? As a henchman under Yanchuan Shilang, he is truly a sinister one."

"In two years, he got five consecutive promotions; Yanchuan Shilang fed this dog well, indeed, hence, he bites hard for his master." Hatanaka Zizi inherently despised people like Aoyama Xiu Xin who didn’t understand justice and only cared for personal gain.

Ozawa Ichiro also held contempt for such people, sneering, "He is merely a short-sighted fellow. The more aggressively he bites now to please his master, the lower his ceiling will be in the future. If he can enter the House of Representatives in his lifetime, that’s already his peak; don’t even dream about joining the cabinet."

"Mr. Ozawa, you think too much. For someone like him from a minor background, getting into the House of Representatives is already a great blessing in this lifetime. How dare he even dream of being in the cabinet, or becoming the prime minister?" Hatanaka Zizi dismissed contemptuously.

This was the confidence brought by his lineage.

Who was his father? He was a nine-times consecutively elected member of the House of Representatives! Ozawa Ichiro’s father was also a member of the House of Representatives! Looking around the cabinet, which minister’s father or grandfather was not a member of parliament?

And Aoyama Xiu Xin? Hah~

He claims to be from the Imperial Family, but to put it bluntly, he’s just a fallen noble, a bumpkin. By being a dog for the Yanchuan Family, getting into the House of Representatives is considered bringing glory to his ancestors.
