Chapter 149: The distracted Fujimoto Ryoichi, the trio December 7th, Wednesday. The morning news reported a farce that took place in the court yesterday, which sparked widespread discussion among the nation. Most people were very angry because everyone was afraid of being tortured and interrogated like Noda. Especially since many people have already encountered it. Some lawmakers also expressed their desire for a thorough investigation. It was a mess and a chaos. It rained heavily last night, and the weather was still gloomy and dark in the morning. There was a drizzle, and strands of drizzle hit the puddles on the ground, splashing out circle after circle of ripples, like water that was about to boil. There was a small pothole in front of the Metropolitan Police Department. When the vehicle ran over it, water splashed everywhere with a bumpy ride. Aoyama Hidenobu in the car cursed in Chinese and found a parking space. He stretched out the umbrella and opened it, whoosh, blocking all the rain that tried to invade his dragon body. Then the man took a step forward. At this moment he only hated that his position was too low and he had no secretary or driver to hold an umbrella for him. Of course, he had this realization not entirely for personal enjoyment, but because if his position was high enough he could hold an umbrella for all citizens and protect them from wind and rain!

"Tap~tap~tap~" Every time the leather shoes hit the ground, water splashed. "Ryoichi." Aoyama Hidenobu recognized the back of Fujimoto Ryoichi in front of him and called out, but received no response. "Ryoichi?" He raised his voice again and shouted. Fujimoto Ryoichi finally came to his senses, turned around and bowed to Aoyama Hidenobu, "Good morning, Inspector Aoyama." "Ryoichi, why do you look so absent-minded? It looks like you didn't get enough rest?" Aoyama Hidenobu noticed that his eyes were a little red and swollen, and he didn't look very energetic. It seems like he has suffered a blow. Fujimoto Ryoichi pursed his lips, forced a smile and said, "I had a few drinks with friends last night." "It's okay to relax appropriately, but don't delay your work." Aoyama Hidenobu could see that he was not telling the truth, but he didn't ask any more questions. He patted him on the shoulder and gave him a warning, then walked around him and moved forward. Who doesn’t have their own little secret? Fujimoto Ryoichi was still standing there, looking dazed as he recalled what happened last night. It was raining heavily in the early morning hours. He drove to Saitama Prefecture in the rain. Wearing a raincoat and a funny clown mask bought on the street, he took the key given to him by Takehiko Asai and opened the door of a villa and sneaked in. A woman with a great figure and beautiful looks was smothered to death with a pillow while she was sleeping. During the process, she kept struggling, waving her hands and making unclear sounds from her mouth until she completely lost her vital signs. Fujimoto Ryoichi had killed people before, but they were all criminals who were shot dead during the arrest process. This was the first time he killed an ordinary citizen. Maybe the other person was a bad guy or a good guy, but he was an innocent person after all. After killing the man, he staggered backwards exhausted and sat on the ground, knocking over some things on the bedside table with his hands. He subconsciously lowered his head to breathe and froze in place again, as if struck by lightning.

The things scattered on the ground were the hospital's prenatal examination report and some medications for pregnant women. The woman was already pregnant with a four-month-old baby when he killed her. One corpse, two lives. Ryoichi Fujimoto knew that he had never been a good person and would give everything for his future, but he had a basic conscience. Killing an innocent person had already put him under great psychological pressure. When he learned that he had killed a pregnant woman, he completely collapsed. Without bothering to clean up the scene, he stumbled back to the car and called Takehiko Asai to ask him why he didn't tell him that the woman was pregnant. Takehiko Asai did not answer, but said that he would be promoted to inspector in a few days, becoming the first person who was not from the professional group but achieved this achievement at the age of 30, and asked him to deal with the scene and leave. After hanging up the phone, Fujimoto Ryoichi cried for a long time in the car. The tears on his face could not be stopped just like the rain outside. He did not feel the excitement of the promotion as he had imagined, but only fear and self-blame. He smoked one cigarette after another until he had finished all the cigarettes on his body. Then he sneaked into the villa again and set the scene to look like a robbery and murder. As a policeman, he knew how to disguise himself most perfectly. Then I went home and stayed awake for half the night. After daybreak, I went directly to the Metropolitan Police Department to work. Even if it was false guilt, Fujimoto Ryoichi wrote down the woman's name, Ihara Aiko. There is also some other basic information, and he plans to compensate her family. It can be said to be compensation, but it is more like spending money to buy peace of mind for himself. He didn't know why Takehiko Asai asked him to kill a pregnant woman, but he knew that the pregnant woman was definitely not Takehiko Asai's woman, so whose woman could it be? Aoyama Hidenobu naturally had no idea what was really causing Fujimoto Ryoichi's distraction. At the time, he was calling Suzuki Nobita in his office. "Vice Minister Suzuki, I called to tell you not to worry about Miss Junko. I happened to run into her last night and had a chat with her, and we were able to make peace. I have arranged for her to stay in a hotel, and when the time is right, I will persuade her to come home and apologize to you." "Have Inspector Aoyama and Junko become friends from enemies?" Suzuki Nobita asked in disbelief. His daughter left the car he bought at home. Didn't answer the phone either. It would be a lie if he said he wasn't worried. He was relieved by Aoyama Hidenobu's call. But she was also surprised and puzzled. Her daughter actually reconciled with the culprit who ruined her and Asano Hirofumi's reputation? It was only one night! At the same time, I felt a little disappointed. Junko could forgive Aoyama Hidenobu, but no one else could forgive him as a father. "Yes, Miss Junko was too naive and was fooled by Asano Hirofumi. I carefully analyzed Asano Hirofumi's cunningness for her, and she generally believed what I said. However, her feelings for Asano Hirofumi were real, so she couldn't accept your actions." Aoyama Hidenobu was talking nonsense in all seriousness. "Alas! Inspector Aoyama is making a fool of himself." Suzuki Daisuke sighed and said, "Then I'll trouble Inspector Aoyama to help take care of my daughter, especially since she is under a lot of pressure after the news this morning." "Don't worry, Vice Minister Suzuki. I will take good care of her and help you and your daughter to ease the relationship." Aoyama Hidenobu smiled and then said in a deep voice, "Regarding this morning's news, this is what I actually think. Miss Junko was just too righteous and innocent and was taken advantage of. The real bad guy was only Asano Hirofumi. What do you think, Vice Minister?" Since she has promised to help Junko Suzuki get out of trouble and get her job back, she certainly can't let those ignorant people throw dirty water on her just by reading some news. All the responsibility lies with Hirofumi Asano. The person is already dead, and the dead is the most suitable person to take the blame. "I agree with Inspector Aoyama's inference. Asano Hirofumi is truly sinister and took advantage of my daughter's innocence to achieve his own goals. Fortunately, Inspector Aoyama didn't let him succeed." Suzuki Daisuke naturally understood that Aoyama Hidenobu wanted to get his daughter out of the turmoil, so there was no reason for him to not cooperate. As the deputy chief of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, as long as the "victim" Hidenobu Aoyama does not hold on to him, he has plenty of ways and means to help his daughter pass the internal investigation. "Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.

Aoyama Hidenobu looked up and said, "Vice Minister Suzuki, I still have work to do, so I won't say much. I hope you have a good day today." From now on, the chief officer and deputy director of the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office are all his own people, there are people protecting him in the National Public Safety Commission, and the National Police Agency has connections with the Asai family, so it is only a matter of time before he can get through. If one wants to go into politics, relying solely on the National Police Agency as a base is enough. However, if one wants to go further and more easily, he must make the entire Japanese judicial system his base. By controlling the judiciary, he controls the right to interpret the legal provisions, which is a sharp weapon. The only thing missing in this link is the court, and the image of the beautiful female judge appeared in Aoyama Hidenobu's mind. "Thanks to the call from Inspector Aoyama, I have had a good start today and it will definitely be a pleasant day." Nobita Suzuki replied with a laugh. He admired Aoyama Hidenobu very much, but unfortunately he was reserved for the Asai family, and his silly daughter was not blessed with that chance. After hanging up the phone, Qingshan Xiuxin said, "Come in." Ryosai Sakai pushed the door open with a briefcase in his hand. "Inspector, we have found out that there was a group of two boys and one girl at Industrial High School. According to their classmates and teachers, the three of them were basically inseparable. In early 1991, one of the girls went to study in neighboring China." He handed over the documents in his hand while speaking. Aoyama Hidenobu took it, opened it and started reading. Fujiwara Taro, male, 18 years old, a senior student at a technical high school, lives in -chome, Shintomi-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. His mother is a full-time housewife and his father is a section chief at a financial company. He is a lively, optimistic and naughty person who cannot sit still and often plays pranks on his classmates. Takahashi Yokoji, male, 18 years old, a senior student at a technical high school, lives in -chome, Wakamatsu-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. His mother died early and his father is an ordinary worker in an electronics factory. He is taciturn and withdrawn. The girl who went abroad to study was called Kurosawa Kaoru, 19 years old this year, the oldest of the three. She lived in 3-chome Uchisaiwai-cho, Chiyoda-ku. Her mother was a lawyer at an unknown law firm, and her father was... "Police?" Aoyama Hidenobu couldn't help but speak. Sakai Ryosai nodded, "Yes, it's the chief of Kanda Police Station, Inspector Nagaha Kurosawa." This is intriguing. Assuming that these three people are the murderers of the serial murder case, then why did Kurosawa Nagata suddenly send his daughter to study abroad in her critical senior year of high school? Was it because he noticed something? After all, he is a policeman. It is normal for him to discover something if his daughter kills someone outside. "Try to get the fingerprints and blood of Takahashi Yokoji and Fujiwara Taro for comparison, but don't alert the enemy." Aoyama Hidenobu said to Sakai Yoshisai. Previously, 100,000 people were tested, but they were ignored because of their identity as students. However, evil people are of all ages and they can kill people with knives. The reason for not alerting the enemy is that if they are really confirmed to be the murderers, Aoyama Hidenobu would like to bring the mastermind Kurosawa Kaori back to the country to solve the case perfectly. Sakai Ryosai immediately bowed and responded, "Hi!" "Ryocai, if this case is solved you will be a great hero," Aoyama Hidenobu encouraged. Sakai Ryosai was very impressed by this. He stood up straight and said with a little excitement: "It was you who gave me the opportunity to show my ability. I was just conducting the investigation step by step under your guidance." Can become the main force in solving such major cases. This will be a shining addition to his resume. "Okay, don't be so modest and get to work." Aoyama Hidenobu waved his hand and watched Sakai Ryosai leave. He suddenly thought of Aso Shuichi who had helped him a lot. If Aso-senpai knew that he had really solved the case based on the clues he figured out, would he regret not agreeing to his suggestion to join forces in the investigation? He is actually making a wedding dress for himself. "Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"

The ringing of the telephone interrupted his fantasy. "Moshimoshi, I'm Aoyama Hidenobu." "Mr. Aoyama, I am Kimura Iekazu. I won't say much to thank you. Just ask me if you have anything to say in the future." Kimura Iekazu said solemnly. Apparently he had watched the morning news and knew that Aoyama Hidenobu almost got into trouble for helping him. However, Aoyama Hidenobu never mentioned the difficulty of this to him, which made him feel moved. Aoyama Hidenobu said calmly: "Minister Kimura is too polite. As long as I promise something, I will definitely do it even if there are countless difficulties." He really does the job after taking the money. This reputation must be established. As more people come to him for help, his own network and influence will also expand. (End of this chapter)
