Never Not
Ch. 108: Opening the Mystery Sunscreen

"Are you sure?" ask Rai quickly.

Yuriko nodded her head without turning away from the photo. "Yes, I'm sure. Although in the picture my father looks young, but I'm sure he's the same person."

"Is your father a cop too?" asked Kei who was now straightening his body after leaning long enough.

"That was when I was five years old. He was in an accident while on duty that made him no longer a policeman" Yuriko said in a low tone.

"What division is your father from? Do you know what kind of job your father was doing back then?" Kei began to unleash the ability to extract information as a journalist.

"My mother once said that my father was a public outside security research force" Yuriko replied, recalling what she knew.

"It was a special force that moved quietly in anticipation of the radical group" Shohei explained.

Yuriko nodded. "Hum .. My mother once told me that my father was given the task of arresting anti-terror groups. But while doing the job, my father was hit by a bomb that left both of his legs amputated."

"Ah, I just saw Kazuya Toda's profile on the internet, it turns out that he was once stationed in the outside public security research force." Kei showed me his gawai which contained the profile.

"It's true Kazuya Toda was once a division similar to Yuriko's father" Shohei said as he stroked his chin.

Rai rushed towards the computer desk. He opens an internet search engine and asks, "Yu-chan, how old are you now?"

"Twenty-two years," replied Yuriko.

Rai immediately typed the keyword 'bomb attack case from a radical group seventeen years ago'. Within seconds, related articles instantly popped up on internet search engines. From the information circulating, the bombing killed three policemen and the perpetrator of the bombing itself and injured a policeman who served where it was Yuriko's father.

"There's something weird!" exciting Rai.

Shohei, Kei, Ryo and Yuriko immediately gathered around Rai.

"The case instead made Kazuya Toda appointed as commander of the outdoor public security research forces which became the beginning of the ladder of his career in the police," Rai said after reading the article.

"As the leader of the group at that time, he was considered able to minimize the casualties that might have taken hundreds of people, but only five people. Including your own father," Shohei told Yuriko.

"And my father was stopped from the police unilaterally" Yuriko smiled bitterly.

"He's still willing to accept the post after his friends are killed?" Ryo instead displayed an astonished expression.

"Have you ever heard your father tell you about this? Maybe we can get a different version," Shohei asked turning to Yuriko.

"Since leaving his membership, my father has not brought up anything related to the police or the government. But, mother said that because my father felt betrayed by his own friend. I'm sure he's Kazuya Toda" Yuriko looked back at Kazuya Toda's photo with eyes splashing with flames.

"There are not many articles about this case. It looks like this case was left forgotten just like that" said Kei, who was searching for related information.

"It's really funny. My father was crippled for life, his friends were killed on the spot, but he became the only person alive and instead profited from the tragedy! That's why at first I didn't believe in justice," Yuriko's cerocos stirred up.

"Wait, if Matsumoto-san found out what Kazuya Toda had been doing all this time and kept the evidence, why wouldn't he dare to bring it up? Doesn't he have the authority as justice minister?" Rai spoke his popping mind all of a sudden.

Rai's words of course made Shohei and Kei gasp. Instinctively, they justified what Rai said.

"Don't .. The justice minister has a secret that Kazuya Toda holds. A kind of disgrace or scandal for example. So, that's what makes the justice minister not struggling," Yuriko guessed over Rai's question.

"It could be!" Rai nodded while picking his finger, a sign that he agreed with the girl who lived with him.

Shohei reflexively turned his head towards Kei as if asking for confirmation.

Kei's breath was heavy. "If it were .. I don't know. Even if he's my uncle, it doesn't mean I know everything about him. In my eyes he is a father who loves his daughter."

"Is there a father who doesn't love his daughter?" sosor Yuriko with a flat voice.

To be honest, Shohei also felt strange with the attitude and policies issued by the justice minister so far. It starts from removing himself and the other police from a special division investigating a case of official corruption. Then reluctant to comment in public on the corruption cases that have been successfully uncovered by Black Shadow. Lastly, Seina's father looked thoughtful and dilemmatic while talking to her at their last dinner. The message he left to Megumi Jun also seemed to be able to predict what would happen in the future.

Shohei's eyes grew instantaneously. What Ryo said made sense. Remembering, the late Matsumoto wanted him to marry Seina immediately. Now, it's only a matter of opening the veil of this mystery to find the real answer.

Shohei returned to his old place, saying, "Since we already know the tenth target and it turns out that it is our common enemy, then it needs evidence to take down our target. Damn, we don't have any evidence of the crimes or the cooperation he's had with these nine people. We also don't have an informant who's in the national police agency."

"Just calm down, I'll go in there undercover to retrieve the information as usual!" Rai.

"The problem is that we don't have much time. In three days he will be sworn in as head of national security. That is, not only the police force is within his grasp, but also the military, special martial arts forces, anti-terror forces, and the prime minister's security forces." Shohei showed a sour face.

"Are we able to prevent all that in three days?" thought Rai looking blankly ahead.

"I will find out the ins and outs of Kazuya Toda during his tenure, including the events of seventeen years ago that also involved Yuriko's father. Surely we can find the gap to take down Kazuya Toda!" Kei.

"Be careful, don't let what you do get sniffed by it. Your social media account immediately vanished surely because he paid attention to your track record all along." Shohei.

"Don't worry! Leave this job to me!" reply Kei.

"I'll try to find out about him to my father. Although it might be difficult because I do not want to talk about his profession as a police officer," continued Yuriko.

"Arigatou. I'm counting on all of you" Shohei said. He turned his head towards Kei and said, "Tomorrow I will meet Seina first. For a few days we've been in no communication."

"Uncle's ashes will be stored at the burial site. Perhaps he will carry out the ceremony there," Kei replied simply to inform.

"What can I do for you?" ask Ryo while standing up.

"For now you don't have to do anything. Stay focused and don't divulge this to anyone. Your skills will be very functional at the end" said Rai smiling slanted while holding his brother's arms.

After the conversation, they returned by starting their respective tasks. The sky was getting thick, where the time had shown ten o'clock at night. Rai and Yuriko had just gotten off the train, they were leisurely walking towards their apartment.

"Huh .. I never thought life was full of surprises." Yuriko let out a rough breath while pocketing both of her hands. "I who once did not believe anymore in the name of justice, now even join with you to fight for justice" he continued with a wry smile.

"That's nothing to me. Life is like a joke to me. I, who was once a fraud and has harmed many, am now a hero of justice." Rai laughed blandly.

"And I became your roommate." Yuriko pushed Rai's arm while giggling.

"Not just a room, but a bed." Rai raised her forehead twice trying to tease Yuriko.

Yuriko immediately threw away her face while holding back a smile.

"It is certain that you and your family have been through a lot of bitterness over the years" Rai said, raising his head.

"At least I'm lucky that my father is alive to this very moment. Unlike the future fiancee Shohei-san, the death of her father must have taken her by surprise. I heard she didn't even attend her script hearing."

The talk about Seina made Rai's face darken instantly. She hopes the girl has read the letter inserted into her bag before the death of the justice minister.

Rai's steps suddenly came to a halt making Yuriko astonished. He looked at the stiff-looking man's face, then turned his head towards his current gaze. In front of them now, a man dressed in a dark blue tuxedo suit had just stepped out of his sports car.

"Yo, how's Rai-kun!" greet the man while commenting on a wide smile.

Yuriko turned her head quickly towards Rai. The man was still petrified, his face suddenly cooling.

"Hey, what's with your expression? Is that how you welcome old friends?" said the man while stretching out his hand.
