Chapter: 2369

When he heard the ringtone, his head began to tingle and his veins started jumping wildly.

What he feared most now was taking a call. Not only did various media want to do everything they could to get their hands on his phone, but they also wanted to conduct an interview with him over the phone.

Many government leaders were constantly asking about the progress of the case's investigation.

Suzuki Tomohiro thought to himself, feeling anxious and uneasy: "Oh no, I really don't want to deal with this!"

He was driven crazy with frustration.

When she glanced at her phone screen, she realized that the caller was none other than her good friend's daughter, Ito Nanao.

The Suzuki and Ito families had been long-time acquaintances.

He and Ito Taro had been good friends since childhood and attended the same university. Although they weren't biological siblings, their bond was almost as strong.

So, in his eyes, Ito Nanao was like a half-sister to him.

Seeing it was Ito Nanao's call, his anxious mood eased significantly. He answered the phone with a slight smile and asked, "Nanao, what made you think of calling me?"

Ito Nanao rushed to say, "Suzuki uncle, I heard you've recently taken up the case of Su Xiao's disappearance at the Tokyo Police Department."

"Yes," Suzuki Tomohiro opened his mouth to ask, "Have you also heard about it, Nanao?"

"I have," Ito Nanao said. "Suzuki uncle, don't you know if you've found any useful leads so far?"

Suzuki Tomohiro sighed, "As of now, there's nothing yet. This Su Xiao is just like a ghost who vanished into thin air."

"Ito Nanao hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth to say: 'Suzuki uncle, I have a very good friend who just called me and gave me some leads. That's why I hurriedly called you, hoping it would be helpful to you.'"

Suzuki Tomohiro listened to this and immediately became excited to ask: "Nanao, are all of these true? Who is that friend of yours? What clues did they give you?"

Ito Nanao said gravely: "Uncle Suzuki, I'm sorry but I can't tell you about my friend's identity."

As she spoke, Ito Nanao added: "As for the clue he gave me, he told me that Su Xiaolei was kidnapped because of a conspiracy between the Su family and Japan Self-Defense Forces, not because of any issues at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"Japan Self-Defense Forces?" Suzuki Tomohiro asked in surprise. "Are they also involved in this?"

"Yes," Ito Nanao said. "My friend told me that it's a joint operation between the Su family and Japan Self-Defense Forces to fake the kidnapping of Su Xiaolei, then deliberately shift the blame to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

Suzuki Tomohiro asked urgently: "What are their goals? Are they trying to rescue Su Xiaolei back to the Su family?"

"No," Ito Nanao said. "Their goal is to first fake the kidnapping of Su Xiaolei and then have Japan Self-Defense Forces at sea catch him and take all the credit for themselves."

"What?! " Suzuki Tomohiro's eyes were wide with amazement as he asked: "Nanao, are these really true?!"

Ito Nanao spoke seriously: "This is what my friend told me. I believe him. He said that if you want to grab onto this thread of clues, you should use your connections in the National Security Agency to take away all the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force members who were on patrol at sea yesterday and conduct an investigation. It should lead to some breakthroughs."

"Ito Nanao's words overturned Suzuki Tomohiro's entire speculation and inference about this whole matter." JrNovels.com
