Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner-Chapter 805 - 489: Dog Head Man Special

This is a real documentary.

There are more than just one of these videotapes; a total of 165 edited tapes have hit the market, all featuring "New World" game trials.

Participating in the bloody game, through tests of intelligence and physical strength, ultimately winning tens of millions or even billions in rewards. Such a ’movie theme’ has undoubtedly caused a significant impact on the current market.

In four or five years, similar themes will emerge. Proven by the market, audiences love settings that can stir emotions, so similar ’game of life and death’ themes have been popular for over thirty years, especially in Japan, the country that produces the most intelligence-based life-and-death games.

Pushed by the economic bubble, audiences need such an outlet.

In just two days, the 165 original tapes were copied over two hundred times each—that is, more than 33,000 tapes, 33,000 pieces of ironclad evidence.

As time goes by, the copying speed of the tapes is skyrocketing.

Every second, movie enthusiasts, video club owners, reporters, and filmmakers, are copying the tapes they’ve seen and looking for the next one, trying to complete the whole series.

Tsuchida Masahiro laid out the newspaper, projecting it onto the screen through the projector.

"Weekly Film and Entertainment is a third-rate publication, today’s newspaper’s corner title reads ’Is the New World Series Really Just a ’Movie’?’..."

Tsuchida Masahiro looked up, asking the crowd, "Can you understand the seriousness of this matter?"

The clerk didn’t comprehend, and apart from Minamoto Tamako, none of the Special Investigation Department’s detectives caught on, making the office fall silent for a moment.

The clerk, having to play along, could only ask reluctantly, "Uh... what does this have to do with the murder case?"

Tsuchida Masahiro paused for a moment, realizing he hadn’t mentioned the most critical part.

He too was overwhelmed by the explosive news, momentarily focused only on what had left the deepest impression on him.

"Oh right, I forgot to add that last night, someone anonymously called Fuji Radio Station’s hotline—it’s a relatively popular night show that primarily engages in emotional entertainment chats, nothing much to say—the key point is, the person claimed, ’If Horie Kei is not released, the entire list of Cat Island will be disclosed.’"

Tsuchida Masahiro added.

The clerk still didn’t understand: "Does that mean the suspect has accomplices? What does disclosing the Cat Island list mean? Is that a threat?"

"It’s a bit complex to explain," Tsuchida Masahiro paused, clearing his throat: "In short, the minister believes, the suspect’s accomplices intend to fabricate a ’non-existent island’, calling it Cat Island, which is the ’New World’ in the tapes..."

"And then?" The clerk vaguely understood, but she still found it hard to believe.

"And then, the suspect’s accomplices use it to slander key figures from all walks of life, claiming ’certain people’ are the developers, organizers, and participants of Cat Island, the main culprits of the massacre game..." Tsuchida Masahiro forced a smile, "Ridiculous, isn’t it?"

The Special Investigation Department office fell into dead silence.

They were all adults, elites among elites, and since matters had developed to this point, it very likely indicated the content of the tapes was real, and the so-called Cat Island was real...

There was really such a secret island.

Moreover, there really was such an organization, deceiving, detaining, killing innocents, using them to entertain the world’s top wealthy and powerful people.

In those 165 tapes, there were men, women, the elderly, and children, just like Ootomo Yuriko, originally still attending university, who inexplicably died in a locked room, her head exploded like a watermelon.

This was all just to amuse a group of ’big figures’.

In a moment, the local Criminal Police from Nakagawara Police Station turned back, looking at Minamoto Tamako.

They vaguely remembered, perhaps half a year or a year ago, Minamoto Tamako was clamoring to report something about Cat Island, claiming she was kidnapped, but at the time, they had not taken it seriously.

It turned out to be true.

This was undoubtedly a huge scandal.

Tsuchida Masahiro scratched his nose, finding it hard to speak: "The Criminal Department head issued a direct order, to defend the nation’s honor, and for the sake of the entire Police Department, please do your best to track down and arrest the suspect’s accomplices, confiscating and destroying all tapes."

Minamoto Tamako was in disbelief: "Shouldn’t this be formally investigated? The evidence is already laid out, why not investigate? There really is such an island, I know where it is..."

Tsuchida Masahiro interrupted, "If there’s going to be an investigation, it’ll come later, this matter can only be privately investigated, must not be made public, for the sake of the greater good!"

"What greater good? This is clearly a cover-up!" Minamoto Tamako shouted loudly.

Unfortunately, in the entire office, only her voice was heard.

Tsuchida Masahiro motioned for the clerk to open the door, gesturing for someone to leave, and said, "Officer Yuan is unwilling to participate in the investigation, is there anyone else who wants to back out?"

The people exchanged glances, all aware that to leave through that door meant something substantial.

Walking out that door was tantamount to opposing the entire Police Department. Now, amidst turmoil, it is a test of loyalty, requiring unity to overcome the crisis together.

All dissenters would be suppressed immediately, securing the external front begins by stabilizing the internal one, during special circumstances, internal handling is very direct and blunt.

If one were to flee at this moment, and instead investigate the leadership, it might sound like it’s for justice, but bluntly speaking, it’s seeking one’s own demise.
