Never Not
Ch. 145: Actual Genesis

"The time of death according to forensic experts was in the span of 11.00-12.00 nights. Meanwhile, in that period of time you were confronting a fake Black Shadow," Shohei said in a wavy voice.

"Is that true? Why would he do that?" ask Yuriko confused.

Shohei. Using the video call feature, it shows the contents of the video on Rai and others. In the post, Mr. Matsumoto said he would atone for the sins that helped hide the rottenness of ten officials and politicians so far. In the video he also revealed that he was tired, because he was forced to follow the scenario of one of the officials who had ambitions to control all Japanese security units including the military.

This seems to confirm that the late Matsumoto not only knew the rottenness of Kazuya Toda, but also contributed as Shohei suspected from the beginning. If you look back from the beginning, the reason why Shohei created the character of Black Shadow is because he and several other police officers were removed from the special division to fight corruption cases, he said, the order came directly from Matsumoto, who served as justice minister.

"Meaning before the kidnapping happened, Matsumoto-san was indeed planning to end her life." Rai concluded after watching the video.

"Is that the reason my uncle finally wants to be my show's source? Why ... why uncle should cooperate with that person ...." The look of disbelief still loomed in Kei's bead of eyes.

"Maybe .. Yuriko's conjecture used to be true! It could be, matsumoto-san has a secret grasped by Kazuya Toda," Rai said, recalling their discussion at the beginning of the team's formation.

Shohei then remembered that there was still one more audio recording that he had not played. "There's still an audio recording I haven't opened yet. I think this will explain everything more. I'll play now!"

"Wait!" Cut Rai instantly, "the tape you'd better listen to yourself. Matsumoto-san left that to you for sure because there was something she wanted to convey. I also have something that Yuta entrusted, maybe this can help us a little to fight Kazuya Toda." A pair of Rai's eyes lead into his room, precisely on Yuta's laptop.

"I agree!" yuriko followed Ryo and Kei.

"All right!" Shohei ended their video call conversation.

The glasses guy immediately put the earphones in the ears. He sighed slowly, before playing the audio recording that was next to the video film. Needless to think, Shohei could immediately recognize the two voices of the man arguing. The contents of the tape succeeded in making him stunned. The reason, the recording containing a conversation between Mr. Matsumoto and Kazuya toda, carrying the name of his father—general Yamazaki— and revealing facts that he had not known so far.

"What exactly is your purpose? Is the Prime Minister's seat your final destination?" Mr. Matsumoto posed a question in the tape.

His opponent laughed immediately. It was obvious he was Kazuya Toda.

"Targeting the Prime Minister's seat? Haha ... don't have to bother getting there. Don't you feel our prime minister is too innocent? He was too influenced by the wise counsel of the professed statesmen. Look at! He does not give legal protection to members of his party who are caught in Black Shadow so we ourselves are troubled. I just want to be his closest person and make him dependent on us."

"You've gone too far, Toda-san! I'm gonna quit! I won't help you anymore! I'll resign from the post!"

Kazuya Toda chuckled. "Why suddenly think of resigning from a hard-won position. Ah, I just remember in a moment you will have the daughter-in-law of the only son of the puppet general Yamazaki. You're afraid your cover will be exposed by your prospective investigator-in-law, right?"

"I don't commit acts of corruption, money laundering or bribery like you and your allies do!" Matsumoto.

"Aren't you also as good as us?" said Kazuya Toda, "have you forgotten what you did? In order to occupy the seat of justice minister, you faked the mandate that the late prime minister Tsuji Namiki had given to general Yamazaki. You engineered the mandate as if it were given to you. Then, you ordered me to spread the word to the media if General Yamazaki refused the post of justice minister. In other words, you snatched away the title of your own best friend!"

(Ket: remember the prime minister Tsuji Namiki in GA? At the end of the GA story, Tsuji Namiki dies suddenly from illness. That means that in NN it was four years ago, yes!)

The statement Kazuya Toda just revealed, made Shohei's pair of eyes widen followed by a body that froze instantly.

"I admit it's my sin." The voice of Mr. Matsumoto who had been stirring now became so slow and weak. "Therefore, I will soon make up for it. I won't cover it up again from the public. Tomorrow I'll announce my resignation, and reveal what I've been hiding."

The audio recording stopped in the twelfth minute. However, it was enough to answer Shohei's entire curiosity. As it turns out, the great secret of Mr. Matsumoto held by Kazuya Toda concerns his own father. The strategy threatened to find out the weakness of this ally, and Kazuya Toda did to nine other politicians so that they would not drag his name when they were caught. In other words, what made Kazuya Toda strong and untouchable all along was that he held the US cards of many officials, including Mr. Matsumoto.

Unfortunately, before what was planned to happen, Mr. Matsumoto was kidnapped first by the people of Kazuya Toda. Of course it was aimed at thwarting the resignation of Mr. Matsumoto. The power held by Mr. Matsumoto as justice minister, is still needed to smooth out all his plans.

Once the two islands were surpassed, the kidnapping drama was also used to scapegoat Black Shadow. They made the scenario as if Black Shadow were to make a captivity and would execute the justice minister.

During his three days in captivity, Kazuya Toda tried to persuade Mr. Matsumoto not to leave his seat of office and would testify about Black Shadow's captivity against him. Unfortunately, Mr. Matsumoto has been very tired of the drama that Kazuya Toda has been playing all this time. Not to mention, he wants to account for the detrimental policies he once decided as a minister.

Fortunately, before the kidnapping happened, he had made a confession and provided evidence of a recording between himself and Kazuya Toda that was stored in a flash and entrusted to his daughter. Right after the fake Black Shadow show ended, he attempted to retrieve the dagger that the fake Black Shadow had shown in his broadcast.

Meanwhile, the fake Black Shadow deliberately kept herding the original Black Shadow towards the captivity room of Mr. Matsumoto. When preparing a trap, the fake Black Shadow was surprised to find Mr. Matsumoto stabbing his own chest. The sixty-two-year-old man exhaled his last breath right before his eyes. Since everything was not going according to plan, he hurriedly pulled the knife and threw it towards the original Black Shadow that had just arrived.

Apparently, Matsumoto's death was not too bad for Kazuya Toda, instead giving the advantage of being able to block the Black Shadow's airing while making the masked man a national fugitive. However, there was one thing that Kazuya Toda had forgotten. He forgot that he might not even be aware if the knife that was the evidence of the case was held by the original Black Shadow.

On the contrary, Matsumoto's death brings regret in Seto Tanaka's heart as a mock Black Shadow. He regretted not being able to prevent the justice minister's actions. He who joined Kazuya Toda because of the leadership, never intended to kill Mr. Matsumoto. Her guilt grows even more, when she sees Shohei being blamed by Seina for her father's death.

In fact, the man attended the funeral of Mr. Matsumoto secretly. As soon as Seina and her entourage left, she stepped slowly towards the grave. He placed the bouquet of flowers he carried on top of another pile of flowers.

"Your death is your own desire. So, it's not my fault" said Seto Tanaka.

author notes ⁇ ️️

answered already, yes, who came to the tomb of Mr. Matsumoto at that time.most also you have forgotten the scene🤣

We intermezzo little ya gays, before the abduction occurred Mr. Matsumoto had shown such a strange behavior as meeting the lord of the yamazaki, asking Shohei to marry Seina, leave the flash for Shohei to Seina and the latter grants kei's request to be the source of his show program. There are some of you who say that maybe Mr. Matsumoto has predicted that he will be killed by Kazuya Toda. Nope, she did that because she intended to end her life. Something that starts with cheating, definitely will not be good in the end, as Mr. Matsumoto did to Mr. Yamazaki.

Before too many suudzon the same lord Yamazaki aka his father Shohei. whereas the kind and not arrogant nature that Shohei has decreased from his father. In GA, it is told that Mr. Yamazaki is an official who is not hungry for power and has ever been willing to adopt Ren.

Japan is famous for the highest suicide death rate.suicide for their beliefs is not a sin, but as a form of accountability and repatriate honor.well, if it is a matter of trust, if it is a matter of trust, it's hard to judge people's beliefs. In earlier times, the term harakiri was used, but this term was used for samurai.

The more here, some Japanese people have begun to realize that suicide is not a good thing.then come a new phenomenon called johatsu. what is it? those who do johatsu leave their families, cities, jobs, even change identities and go to a remote area and start a new life there. there are even companies that are ready to help people do johatsu.this is like what Yu Hiroshi did in DF gays, remember?

Okay, this really wants to be close to the ending, gays. just a cave that is wasteful words 🙈🙈. Don't forget to raise the popularity of Never Not at the end of the story with your likes and comments.
