Chapter 1001 The blame is laid
Just as Asanogawa was about to speak again and order all the people involved in the warehouse to be taken away, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the warehouse. Fujiwara Makoto, the young and sharp team leader, ran over excitedly. His face was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal, as if he had just made a major breakthrough.
"Captain Asanogawa!" Fujiwara Makoto reported loudly, "We found an important clue! In another corner of the warehouse, we found some printing paper, ink and other things. The materials are exactly the same as those used in the Kyoto Secret Report! We even found a defective copy of the Kyoto Secret Report that was only half printed in a corner!"
As he spoke, Fujiwara Shin took out a bundle of papers and a half-finished newspaper from his arms, and walked quickly to Asanogawa, handing him the evidence. Asanogawa took the paper and examined it carefully. His eyes swept over the paper, the familiar texture of the paper, the smell of ink, and the faintly visible secret report on the half-finished newspaper, all made him sure that this was the evidence they had been looking for.
Asanogawa's mouth unconsciously drew up a smile, and he secretly rejoiced that he had finally lived up to his high expectations and found the mastermind behind the scenes. He raised his head and looked at Fujita Ying with a sharp gaze, which was full of the pride and ridicule of a winner.
"Fujita Ying, the evidence is solid now. I want to see how you can deny it!" Asanogawa sneered, with a bit of contempt and provocation in his tone. "Next, I'm afraid you will have to go to our Pu Yu interrogation room. There, you will have enough time to explain your crimes."
When Fujita Ying heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He widened his eyes and stared at the evidence in Asanogawa's hand, as if he couldn't believe it was true.
"This... This is impossible!" Fujita Ying's voice trembled as he tried to make a final struggle. "These evidences must have been forged by you! Someone must have framed me! My Fujita family would never do such a thing!"
However, his defense seemed so pale and powerless in front of Asanogawa, who just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dying prey.
"Fujita Ying, stop wasting your energy." Asanogawa said in a cold tone, "The evidence is irrefutable. You can't deny it with just a few words. You'd better tell the truth. Maybe you can get a chance for forgiveness."
At this moment, Fujita Ying was extremely panicked. He helplessly looked to the cabinet minister Sanyang Zhong for help, and cried incoherently, "Minister Sanyang, please believe me! This so-called Kyoto secret report has nothing to do with the Fujita family! This is really just our granary! Please do justice for our Fujita family and believe us!"
Upon hearing this, Sanyang Zhong was extremely shocked and confused. He never thought that the Fujita family was actually related to the Kyoto secret report. This is treason! He secretly regretted that he only came to support them because of his friendship with the Fujita family, but he didn't expect to be involved for no reason. Thinking of the various benefits that the Fujita family had given him over the years, Sanyang Zhong couldn't help but feel a headache.
However, facing Fujita Ying's request for help, Sanyang Zhong still stood up. He tried to keep himself calm and said in a calm tone: "Captain Asanogawa, I have known the Fujita family for many years, and I have a certain understanding of them. I believe there must be some misunderstanding. Everyone calm down first and don't jump to conclusions. As a government law enforcement agency, Pu Yu should conduct a more rigorous and fair investigation. It is not too late to make a judgment after further in-depth investigation."
Upon hearing this, Asanogawa glanced at Sanyang Zhong sharply, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "Lord Sanyang, I understand your feelings, but as government officials, we should respect facts and laws. These evidences are real and cannot be denied by a misunderstanding. We, Pu Yu, will act in accordance with the law and will never allow any behavior that endangers national security."
Sanyang Zhong spoke again, with a pleading tone in his voice: "Asano, I beg you to give me some face and not take Fujita Ying away yet. Wait until you have completed your investigation of Pu Yu and come to a conclusion."
After all, everyone in Kyoto knew that if you entered Pu Yu's interrogation room, you would basically be tortured. Pu Yu's group of lunatics often tortured people to the point that they were no longer human, nor ghosts.
Hearing this, Asano Gawa sneered, his eyes were like knives, staring directly at Sanyang Zhong: "Minister Sanyang, are you teaching me how to handle a case? I just ordered someone to search the warehouse, and this Fujita Ying rushed here overnight to obstruct my search. This in itself shows that he has something wrong. Now you let me let him go, isn't this condoning crime?"
Sanyang Zhong hurriedly shook his head, his face full of anxiety and helplessness: "Asano, you misunderstood. I am not teaching you how to handle cases, I just hope you can treat everyone justly and fairly. Fujita Ying... after all, he is a child I watched grow up, and I know his character. I believe that there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. I am willing to guarantee with my reputation as a cabinet minister that if Fujita Ying is really the problem, then I will never condone it. I will personally send him to the unpolished jade and let you deal with him at your discretion."
However, Asanogawa did not give him any face. His face was full of indifference and ridicule: "Lord Sanyang, are you threatening me? Or are you also protecting the Fujita family? Are you involved in this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Sanyang Zhong's face instantly turned livid. He stared at Asanogawa with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears. His voice trembled with anger and unwillingness: "Asanogawa! You...how can you say that to me? I am loyal to the empire and have devoted my life to the empire. How could I do such a thing? You are insulting me and our cabinet!"
Asanogawa was unmoved, his eyes were still cold: "Master Sanyang, don't get excited. I am just discussing the matter. You are defending the Fujita family now, I have to doubt your motives. After all, the secret report from Kyoto is no small matter."
No matter how humbly Sanyangzhong pleaded, Asanogawa remained as cold as a stone and refused to listen.
San Yangzhong's face turned red with anger and helplessness, his chest heaved up and down violently, and every breath was accompanied by heavy gasps, as if he wanted to spit out the depression in his chest.
"Captain Asanogawa!" Sanyang Zhong finally couldn't hold back his anger. "I, Sanyang Zhong, tell you as a cabinet minister that if Fujita Ying is harmed in any way in Pu Yu, then I and the Fujita family will never let it go! We will definitely seek justice!"
Asanogawa looked at Sanyangzhong coldly, with a disdainful smile on his lips.
He seemed to be looking at a child who was making trouble for no reason. He did not take Sanyang Zhong's warning seriously. In his opinion, Sanyang Zhong's anger and warning were just a futile struggle.
"Minister Sanyang, are you threatening me?" Asanogawa's voice was low and powerful. "I remind you that this is not your cabinet. Here, we have our own rules and our own way of doing things. We will find out whether Fujita Ying is innocent. But before that, he must accept our investigation. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can report it to the higher-ups, but here, you must obey our arrangements."
After saying this, Asanogawa no longer paid attention to Sanyangchu, but signaled his men to take Fujita Ying away.
