Ask the receptionist where you can find best humberger stand nearby. Then you don't look like snooping

Bookkeepers and receptionists women in the office surely don't look like they had police training. They know how to communicate with their robo-call program. Try to visit there.

...and the police will do nothing because they're afraid of the Yakuza.

I'm all for them policing themselves. It shows that they can keep there house or the house of there neighbors in order. The only time I have issue with this lot is when they go after everyday non criminal types.

Until autopsy is finished, no one knows who is this corpse. Mystery continues.

So, I'll just drop by the Yakuza Office to hand in these tax papers...wait...wtf!?
I guess it's a Japanese police thing to keep the criminals and extortionists where they can find them, I mean they keep most of them under guard around Nagatacho.

Someone killed and dumped the dead body in the office?

Sounds like business as usual for Yakuza

Actually, Suniyoshi Kai is not Yakuza like YamaguchiGumi. It is one of a llarge Tekiya organizations in Tokyo.
