Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 61 Belief

Police station, interrogation room.

Misaki Tachibana, Mizuki Onodera, and a lawyer who's too lazy to come up with a name.

"Nakajima, this is not a good situation."

Misaki Tachibana frowned deeply.

"Once illegal overstaying is brought to the forefront, it's hard to pull any tricks."

"Although there are theoretically ways to control the direction of stay, however..."

She glanced at the lawyer.

The lawyer then took over the conversation at the opportune moment.

"However, such applications can only be made within the scope permitted by law, especially when someone is deliberately targeting you."

The other party was being very conservative.

The real meaning is that although we are aware of these methods, we are now being watched, and large-scale counterfeiting is likely to cause problems.

This is unlikely to work out.

"According to normal procedures, you will be detained in the detention center for a few days, and then directly sent to the Immigration Bureau's detention center to await repatriation."

Nakajima Hiroshi was separated from the three by bulletproof glass, with two investigators standing behind him.

This means that everyone must be careful what they say.

"We naturally need to operate within the legal framework."

This was the only way Nakajima Hiroshi could phrase it.

The lawyer nodded, indicating that he knew it was nonsense, and that the client should keep it in mind.

"However, it shouldn't be a problem to raise an objection, at least..."

"Yes."

The lawyer nodded and said, "If all legal procedures are exhausted..."

"Detention, oral hearing, objection, awaiting ruling, theoretically can secure a stay of four to six months."

"But during this time, you will be in detention, which is almost meaningless unless your identity is actually being processed."

"This isn't something that can be solved by procrastination, do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

The lawyer's point was that even if you have accomplices besides us, now that this matter is out in the open, it's unlikely there's any room for manipulation.

Including the force behind you.

Nakajima Hiroshi nodded slightly.

The other party's thinking was not wrong; it was just that his method of solving his identity problem defied common sense.

"Please do your best to help me, please."

"Besides, I'm afraid I don't have that much time left, like six months."

Nakajima Hiro felt that no matter who was behind this attack, whether it was Kuroda Karito, Kato Inu, or anyone else, they wouldn't have given him this much time.

The lawyer said seriously, "If there's no interference, the maximum is six months. Please trust my abilities in the legal field."

"What if someone deliberately interferes?"

Nakajima Hiroshi rationally sorted out his thoughts.

"For example, they relentlessly pushed me through every step, even resorting to bribery, in an attempt to confirm my identity as soon as possible."

If it were me, having taken action, I would definitely make sure to suppress this matter completely.

"Is that so..."

The lawyer nodded slowly: "That is indeed a possibility."

"If the other party is forceful enough, they can force you out in as little as a week."

"However, this involves a legal battle between the two sides."

"Given my rigorous approach, I cannot guarantee a specific timeframe. I can only say that I will do my best to ensure that no potentially disputed step is overlooked."

Although there's no definitive answer, this is the lawyer's correct stance.

If I were to confidently assure you that I could hold out for six months against even the strongest opponent, I doubt they could even last a week.

Thank you very much.

Nakajima Hiro nodded: "Also, regarding Asuka's domestic violence issue, I am a key witness, so perhaps...?"

"Professor Yoshioka Shigeru's team is negotiating this matter, and theoretically, you will be interrogated once or twice in the near future."

"However, Mr. Nakajima Hiroshi, I must warn you that under no circumstances should you think of using the opportunity of interrogation to escape or to resist the law in any way."

"In that situation, the police even have the authority to shoot you dead, if the other party..."

The lawyer did not finish speaking.

But the meaning is already very clear.

If the opponent has strong connections, any action by Hiroshi Nakajima could be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.

For example, if someone attempts to escape during interrogation, normally the police would subdue them and immediately initiate deportation procedures, but in their case, they might be shot dead on the spot.

The law has a considerable degree of discretion.

Of course, the other party also completely misunderstood their needs.

"No, I don't have such a foolish idea, please don't worry."

Nakajima Hiroshi shook his head and said, "However, please help me contact Yoshioka Shigeru-sensei and get in touch with Asuka as soon as possible."

"I need to confirm this child's..."

Misaki Tachibana frowned deeply and interrupted Hiroshi Nakajima.

"Nakajima, do you really understand the seriousness of the current situation?"

"That junior candidate is no longer important. If you're really worried, we can help you out later, but the key issue right now is your immigration status!"

"If I had any connections I could use to ask for help, but..."

She hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"But if you're just bluffing, you'd better come to the truth now."

"If you can't resolve the issue of your stay, you and Asuka will never have any further contact."

Although it sounds cruel, Misaki still felt that she should help Nakajima Hiro wake up.

"I understand."

Hiroshi Nakajima rubbed his temples.

"In any case, my top priority will be to verify my identity, please believe me."

However, confirming her identity requires Asuka to complete the disclosure process.

So the most important thing right now is to soothe the child's emotions and determine whether she can be relied upon.

It's absurd, but that's how it is.

The universe has no obligation to make you understand.

After a moment of contemplation, Mizuki spoke first.

"I understand. I will contact Professor Yoshioka Shigeru later to arrange your meeting with Asuka."

"Perhaps it's not convenient to communicate here, but there are some things I need to explain later."

She chose to believe.

This guy shouldn't be someone who doesn't know what's important; he must have his reasons for wanting to find Asuka right now.

Hiroshi Nakajima nodded in agreement.

There are indeed concerns that are inconvenient to discuss right now.

I can't exactly tell them I have a system that helps Asuka complete her disclosure goals, and that would confirm her identity.

That would most likely be mistaken for excessive stress and mental instability.

This interrogation room, however, provided the perfect excuse for his ambiguous attitude.

As for what happens after we leave...

talk later.

"I also need an explanation."

Misaki Tachibana kept a straight face; she still felt incredibly stupid.

however……

"I don't know what you're doing that's so stupid, but I'll trust you one more time."

"I will launch an investigation into you and Asuka later to see who is behind this."

"Nakajima, even if you are deported, I will protect Asuka for you and make the mastermind behind it pay the price."

"Boss, watch your words!"

The lawyer made a symbolic attempt to stop him, then promptly took over the conversation.

"Then I will closely monitor the progress of your charter and, within the bounds of the law, buy you as much time as possible."

"But please don't be blindly optimistic, Mr. Nakajima Hiroshi. I must emphasize again that the current situation is very unfavorable for you."

"Yes, thank you all for your hard work."

With his hands cuffed, Nakajima Hiroshi was unable to stand up and bow, and could only bend down to a very limited extent to express his gratitude.

At present, only Asuka can break the deadlock.

But this child was just hurt by his father and is probably still traumatized.

Hiroshi Nakajima needs to ascertain her mental state, and...

Will the time spent together and the guidance she received be enough to get her on stage and give the two of them a chance to survive?

In the car.

Asuka looks very haggard.

Both the harm inflicted by her father and the current situation of Nakajima Hiro's arrest have left her extremely depressed.

Even the injury to my ankle seemed to be throbbing again.

Dizziness, tinnitus, and fear made her want to vomit...

Professor Yoshioka's protection did not bring much sense of security.

But upon hearing that she was to meet Nakajima Hiroshi, she still asked Mizuki to help her put on light makeup, change into the waist-length jeans he liked, and tie her hair back to look as neat and tidy as possible.

Even if it might be a farewell, Asuka wants to leave behind the image that the other person likes the most.

"Nakajima..."
