Chapter 137: Pretending to be big, the times created Aoyama Hidenobu Metropolitan Police Department, conference room. The long and boring "Kanagawa Prefecture Gunfight Special Investigation Headquarters Establishment Meeting" finally ended. Jinping Kunio stood up, bowed and said: "I hope you will overcome all difficulties and solve the case as soon as possible. Please!" "Hi!" Everyone stood up and responded. Renping Guoxiong raised his head and said, "Disperse..." "Dingle bell! Dingle bell!" He was interrupted by the ringing of a telephone. Everyone looked at Asai Aya based on her reputation. "Sorry." Asai Aya subconsciously wanted to hang up. Seeing this, Renping Guoxiong smiled and said in a friendly manner, "Go ahead, what if it's something important? Besides, the meeting just ended."

"Hi!" Asai Aya replied, and then answered the phone, "Quietly, this is Asai Aya." "Are you still in the meeting?" asked Aoyama Hidenobu. Asai Aya whispered a word, "Yeah." At this time, others had already started to walk out. But because Asai Aya was on the phone, they were all well-mannered and didn't make any noise. "Turn on speakerphone." said Aoyama Hidenobu. He wants to install a big one. Although he knew that doing so would offend other members of the Special Investigation Headquarters, he didn't care. This forced him to pretend! Even Jesus coming couldn't stop him. Although Asai Aya was confused, she still did as she was told. Then everyone in the conference room heard Aoyama Hidenobu's resounding report: "Report to the Superintendent! The main culprit of the gunfight in Kanagawa Prefecture last night has been arrested by the Murder Division of the First Investigation Division!" In an instant, everyone stopped and turned around to stare at Asai Aya with disbelief. Then they looked at each other, and only after seeing everyone else's shocked expressions did they confirm that they had heard correctly. Asai Aya's heart was also in turmoil, but she forced herself to calm down and said calmly, "Details." "One accomplice was killed, one main culprit and two accomplices were arrested, with zero casualties." Aoyama Hideka said. Everyone was stunned when they heard this. We just finished a meeting here, analyzing how difficult this case is to investigate and how hard it is to catch the criminals, but you have already caught the person at the same time. So what do we do next? Some people's faces suddenly became extremely interesting. I was lucky that Aoyama Hidenobu didn't join the investigation headquarters to grab the credit, but now he is taking all the credit.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!" A burst of applause sounded slowly. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Renping Guoxiong who took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit. "Snap, snap, snap, snap!" Thunderous applause filled the conference room. "Good! Good! Good!" With an excited smile on his face, Renping Guoxiong said loudly: "Inspector Aoyama, you really gave us a big surprise. You are worthy of the title of detective. Bring the suspect back quickly." "Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu hung up the phone. Everyone else looked at Nihei Kunio. Now that Aoyama Hidenobu had solved the case, their situation became a little awkward. Should they go back to their own homes next? Jinping Kunio said with a smile: "Inspector Aoyama acted so quickly that not only did he catch the suspect off guard, he also caught us off guard. This makes the special investigation headquarters look like a joke." Asai Aya frowned. Nihei Kunio seemed to be joking, but in fact he was trying to make Aoyama Hidenobu hate him. After all, being too good is also a mistake! "Now that the main culprit has been arrested, there is no need for this special investigation headquarters to exist. Disband it as is, and everyone return to their respective departments." Renping Guoxiong left after saying a few words. As soon as he went out, his face turned gloomy. Although everyone else felt aggrieved that they had become a foil, he was the most aggrieved one. The reason why he didn't let Aoyama Hidenobu join the Special Investigation Headquarters was that he didn't want him to share the credit, but he didn't expect Aoyama Hidenobu to solve the case alone, so he slapped him hard. "Notice, hold a press conference." Although he felt very aggrieved, he still had to go through the necessary procedures. From the police's perspective, Aoyama Hidenobu's performance was beneficial to the collective image. Although Nihei Kunio developed a dislike for Aoyama Hidenobu because of his son's affairs, he did not fail to distinguish the importance of the offense from the minor one. Otherwise, if his intention to suppress him was too obvious, it would make him seem petty and short-sighted. After all, he is the director general of the Metropolitan Police Department and he needs to show others a glorious image of fairness and justice, otherwise it will be difficult to convince others. "Retreat!" Aoyama Hidenobu ordered from the other side. The police officers escorted Yamamoto and two other men away, while the bearded man's body was handed over to a nearby police station. Walking out of the living room, Aoyama Hidenobu took out a cigarette. Asano Hirofumi rushed out and knocked the cigarette out of his hand, pointed at the bearded man's body, and shouted angrily: "Shinichi Nakamura violated the rules by using a gun and deliberately killed someone, but you are still protecting him? The guns in our hands are to maintain order, not to kill people! Even if he is guilty, he must be tried and executed according to legal procedures, not just shot to death!" What happened just now was too terrible in his eyes. He really couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want to pretend anymore. In an instant, everyone stopped and stared at Asano Hirofumi with disgust. After all, the supervision methods were incomplete these days, and there were basically no police who enforced the law completely according to procedures. What was the big deal about beating a vicious criminal to death? If they strictly enforce the law according to procedures, those criminals will learn a lesson in no time. Most people are experienced and they enforce the law based on the years of experience accumulated by their predecessors. Legal provisions? Who cares about this stuff? Compared to an upright and selfless boss like Hirofumi Asano, they naturally prefer a boss like Hidenobu Aoyama who will protect his subordinates, and they feel more at ease working with him. Even Yamamoto, who was arrested, looked at Asano Hirofumi with a mocking expression. He didn't expect that there were such honest and law-abiding policemen in the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Who saw it?" Aoyama Hidenobu looked calmly at Asano Hirofumi in front of him and asked lightly. Then, without waiting for his answer, he looked at the other police officers and asked with a smile, "Did you see it?" "No!" everyone answered in unison. Asano Hirofumi was so angry that he was shaking. He rushed to Yamamoto and grabbed his collar, "You saw it! You saw your men being shot and killed by the police in violation of regulations! Are you willing to come forward and identify them?" "I didn't see it." Yamamoto replied indifferently. Even if he is spared the death penalty, he is destined to stay in prison for the rest of his life. If he talks nonsense, Aoyama Hidenobu will have plenty of ways to retaliate against him. He doesn't want to be beaten up every three days and every five days in prison. Working in their line of work, they have to risk their heads in exchange for money. They are either beaten to death by their peers or by the police. So although he was a little sad about the bearded man's death, he was not completely unacceptable. "Baka!" Asano Hirofumi didn't expect that even Yamamoto would not testify. He grabbed the collars of the other two people in anger and said, "Where are you? Where are you?" The two men were also silent and said nothing. Feeling the cold eyes around him, Asano Hirofumi's heart was filled with sadness and anger. It was obviously I who was right! "Deputy Minister Asano, instead of thinking about how to deal with your colleagues, you might as well think about how to catch more criminals." After saying this, Aoyama Hidenobu bent down to pick up the cigarette that had just been knocked to the ground, and walked out of the yard. This is the current era. After Aoyama Hidenobu traveled through time, he integrated well into it and made use of the current surface rules to get by like a fish in water. However, Hirofumi Asano wants to fight against the entire era. He is like a pig blocking the car and will only be crushed to death by the wheels. He can choose not to get on the car, but he cannot choose to stand in front of the car and prevent others from getting on. Anyway, this is Japan, and Aoyama Hidenobu wishes that all government departments would become as bad as possible, so there is no psychological pressure, which is beneficial to his progress. The others followed one after another, leaving Asano Hirofumi alone standing there, seemingly dazed. He was not awakened until the sound of an engine outside. He clenched his fists and his eyes became firm again. He had seen his superiors embezzle and cover up crimes, but this was the first time he saw a subordinate openly kill someone while his superior remained indifferent. He had a hunch that the higher a person like Aoyama Hidenobu climbed, the greater the harm he would cause to the country. After all, Aoyama Hidenobu has the ability and background to support him to go further. Now he is only corrupting one department, but when he becomes the section chief, won’t he corrupt the entire section? If he becomes the director, he will corrupt the entire Metropolitan Police Department! I have to stop this guy! Just like the hero in the game, trying to defeat the dragon. .............................. On the way back to the Metropolitan Police Department, Aoyama Hidenobu briefly interrogated Yamamoto and the other two and learned that the other group of people who participated in the gunfight all died that night. In other words, after he captured Yamamoto, the Kanagawa Prefecture gun battle incident was completely solved. Aoyama Hidenobu reported this to Asai Aya. Asai Aya then told this to Nihei Kunio. Let him explain this matter at the press conference later. When Aoyama Hidenobu returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, someone was waiting for him at the door. "Inspector Aoyama, the director asked you to come back and attend the press conference in the auditorium immediately." "Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu rushed to the auditorium and as he approached the side door, he heard Nihei Kunio speaking inside. "After the incident, the police responded quickly as soon as they received the news. After our sleepless night of investigation, we finally arrested all the suspects in the Kanagawa Prefecture gunfight an hour ago..." "Special Investigation Headquarters? Haha, this reporter asked a good question. In fact, this is just a smokescreen we released to confuse the suspects! We didn't even plan to set up an investigation headquarters. From the beginning to the end, I handed this case over to the Murder Section of the Investigation Section 1."

"Case details? To be honest, I don't know the details of the arrest yet. Inspector Aoyama just rushed back to the Metropolitan Police Department. Please ask him to come on stage and tell you all about it." "Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!" Amidst a round of enthusiastic applause, Kunio Nihira bowed and left the stage, while Hidenobu Aoyama walked towards the stage. On the way, the two looked at each other and passed each other. "Good morning, everyone from the press. I am Inspector Aoyama Hidenobu of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, Murder Division." Aoyama Hidenobu bowed after taking the stage. "Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap!" There was another round of enthusiastic applause, and when Aoyama Hidenobu raised his head to speak, the applause gradually died away. Aoyama Hidenobu stood like a pine tree, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, and said in a deep voice, "In fact, the Metropolitan Police Department had already obtained important clues last night. In order to confuse the suspects, keep them in Tokyo, and buy time for the investigation, Director Jinping proposed to set up a special investigation headquarters." "We, the murderer team, have been secretly investigating along the clues. We finally found the suspect's whereabouts an hour ago and broke into the house to arrest him. During the arrest, one of the suspects tried to resist and was decisively shot dead by our police officers." "Although the shooting incident in Kanagawa Prefecture is extremely horrifying, please rest assured that all Japanese police officers are protecting the safety of the people 24 hours a day, and any crime will be solved as quickly as possible!" After he finished speaking, Aoyama Hidenobu bent down and bowed. He then prepared to leave the stage amid loud applause. "Inspector Aoyama, could you please tell us about the progress of the 1990 serial murder case?" At this moment a young reporter suddenly stood up and asked loudly. "Yes, Inspector Aoyama, please say a few words." "Everyone is very concerned about this case, but it seems that you have never responded in person." "Inspector Aoyama..." The other reporters spoke one after another. (End of this chapter)
