Chapter 57 Patriarch Shimura: Let people go, but not completely! So uncomfortable!
"yes."
When the Shimura clan leader heard this, he looked happy and left happily.
"Let the Uchiha clan leader come over."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
After receiving the order, the ANBU people immediately went to notify Fugaku.
Fugaku knew everything about what happened in the police department, but the team leader below did not report it. He also treated it as a normal security case.
The third team's lounge.
All the team captains gathered together.
As one of the leaders, Yan asked nervously:
"Yan, we have arrested a lot of people, what should we do next? Convict them directly?"
The Police Department has this power.
Interrogate, convict, and then throw them into prison. Then write a report afterwards and send it to the Hokage's office building.
Just doing this will not stand up to scrutiny afterwards. Once the Hokage Office Building investigates, there will be a lot of trouble.
After all, some people were just brought back under the pretext of investigation and questioning.
"Conviction? Conviction of what?"
Yan smiled slightly and asked strangely:
"Have you forgotten the police department's procedures?"
"Yan! Now is not the time to joke."
Yan couldn't help but darken his face.
Everyone was waiting for you to say something, but you made a joke instead.
"Yes, Yan, now is not the time to joke."
"Everyone is waiting for your countermeasures. Now that the person is captured, should he be convicted or what?"
It is not a problem to find an excuse or to arrest someone on a crime and have someone come to the police department to cooperate with the investigation, but it is a problem to convict someone casually.
It is precisely because of this that everyone is anxious.
We have captured all the people, we cannot let them leave so easily.
"I'm not kidding."
Yan put away his smile and said seriously:
"If there is insufficient evidence or the person is not found guilty of the crime, we will simply let him go."
"Then our hard work was not in vain?"
"Yes, if that's the case, why are you arresting people?"
After hearing what Yan said, everyone couldn't sit still.
"Quiet!!"
Yan patted the table and shouted:
"What's it like to make a fuss? Since you are willing to believe me and trust me, then just listen to me. If there is insufficient evidence and the crime is not proven, let him go directly."
"If the charges are proven, just follow the normal procedures."
"When looking for trouble, you must do it step by step. You cannot attack it all at once. Otherwise, you are not looking for trouble, but a deliberate provocation."
"If I'm not wrong, maybe the Shimura clan has already filed a lawsuit with the Hokage's office building."
"Of course, we can't put all the Shimura clan members on reasonable charges and arrest them, so..."
"Those who should be let go must be let go.
However, since it is targeted, we cannot let it go casually.
Everyone, the initiative is in our hands. If we let him go today, it will be the same if he arrests him tomorrow. In short, it will not make life difficult for the Shimura clan.
The original intention of us getting together was not to throw all the Shimura clan members into prison."
If there are any charges, they will be tried according to the procedures.
Not guilty, insufficient evidence?
Then let him go.
Catch him again another day, or ask them to cooperate again.
In short, just play with them slowly. As long as there is no big fuss, even if you sue to the Hokage's office building, what will happen.
The Third Hokage could still be obsessed with such trivial matters.
"By the way, remember to write a report after releasing someone and submit it to the clan leader.
If someone from the Shimura clan files a complaint, the clan leader will definitely go to the Hokage's office building. This will prevent the clan leader from being embarrassed and passive, and at the same time, he will have an explanation to the Hokage-sama."
After causing trouble, he also blocked the mouth of the Third Hokage.
Everyone who can be released has been released. Those found guilty have not yet been tried, and the Third Hokage has absolutely nothing to say.
Knowing that Uchiha is deliberately looking for trouble and targeting the Shimura clan, as long as it doesn't go too far, he can only turn a blind eye.
"Hahaha, just do it!!! Let the Shimura clan know that we Uchiha are not easy to bully. It's best to let them have internal conflicts."
The anxiety and uneasiness in everyone's hearts were quickly stabilized by Yan's guidance. As if they had taken a reassurance, they all went to make preparations.
As for the clan leader who needs to go to the Hokage's office building to be questioned...
It has been forgotten by everyone.
The clan leader doesn't do anything, and he doesn't let us do anything. It shouldn't be too much to let him take the blame, right?
Soon, the Shimura clan was arrested, or many people who cooperated with the investigation were released.
"...."
After seeing the reports sent by each team, Fugaku fell silent. He felt that he was about to become a new generation of scapegoat.
"Clan Chief Fugaku, Hokage-sama invites you."
No, before Fugaku could calm down, the ANBU people arrived.
Silently putting away the documents on his desk, Fugaku followed the ANBU ninjas to the Hokage's office building.
"Fugaku, I heard that your police department arrested a lot of people from the Shimura clan today?"
When Fugaku arrived at the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Regardless of whether it was Uchiha Fugaku's intention or not, he could only bear it at this time:
"I only found out about this after reading the reports sent by each team, but before I came to the Hokage's office building, most of these people had been let go.
The rest are those who have been found guilty and need to go through procedures and go to trial."
"If Hokage-sama feels that it is not necessary, I can go back immediately and ask the clansmen to release them."
"Already released?"
The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment:
"Well, just let him go. Although it involves a public security case, arresting people without evidence will have a big impact and will also discredit the police department. As for those who are found guilty, let's just go through the procedures.
."
This is the responsibility of the Police Department, and the Police Department has the right to do so.
Of course, the Third Hokage could ask the police department to release him, but there was no need for him to do so, otherwise it would easily attract some gossip.
The charges are all proven, and a case file and report will be written, so you can just take a look at it when the time comes.
Ask the police department to release him with great fanfare?
The Third Hokage is not the nanny of the Shimura clan, so being able to do this has already given the Shimura clan enough face.
"Fugaku, the most important thing for the village right now is to get the daimyo's forgiveness and deal with the assassination of the daimyo. I think you can understand what I mean, right?"
Necessary beating is definitely indispensable.
The Third Hokage didn't want to cause any more trouble for no reason at this juncture.
"I will pay attention to it. Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, you can completely trust Uchiha."
After expressing his loyalty, Fugaku returned to the police station as if nothing was wrong, which relieved many squad leaders who were worried that the clan leader would question him.
I couldn't help but give Yan a thumbs up in my heart, and my trust in Yan gradually increased.
Yan said there would be no problem, and indeed nothing unexpected happened, and the clan leader didn't mean to blame them.
Even pretending that nothing happened.
Many members of the Shimura clan were released, but the leader of the Shimura clan was not happy.
Because the people who were found guilty were still squatting in the police station, especially the jonins of the two families. The alleged attack on the police captain happened in the street in full public view.
As long as the police department holds on to them, these two jonins of the Shimura clan will inevitably go to Konoha Prison for a while.
