Chapter 170 Qingshan Taijun is already a qualified bureaucrat "Look at mine, Inspector Aoyama." "Okay, let's take a look at yours." Aoyama Hidenobu casually took the letter from the reporter closest to him. On the back of the envelope was a printed note with Irie Yomi's name, identity, address, and words such as "deceased" written on it. Opening the envelope and taking out the letter is also done by printing, which is both quick and avoids handwriting detection. In the letter, Irie Yangming admitted that he had been corrupt since he was young, with a total amount of over 100 million yuan. He deeply regretted his behavior of betraying the people and damaging the interests of the country for his own selfish interests, and called on other officials to be honest and upright and stick to their own bottom line... "How did you receive the letter?" After reading it, Aoyama Hidenobu turned his gaze to the reporters in front of him. "It's posted on the front door of the newspaper office." Although everyone was talking at once, they all spoke in unison. "Ask someone to check the surveillance cameras at the entrance of the newspaper office." Aoyama Hidenobu instructed Fujimoto Ryoichi.

Fujimoto Ryo nodded slightly and turned to leave. Aoyama Hidenobu had no intention of returning the letter to the reporter, and said to him, "Please ask your questions." "Hi!" The reporter bowed slightly with some excitement and nervousness, and then handed the microphone to Aoyama Hidenobu, "Excuse me, Chief, what do you think of the murderer's behavior of killing corrupt officials and publicizing it?" The question he asked was quite profound. But not much. "You also said he was the murderer? Of course, I am looking at it from a policeman's perspective." Aoyama Hidenobu said with a serious face and a rhythmic tone, "Not to mention that Irie Yangming's confession was written under the coercion of the murderer, and the truth of its contents is questionable! Even if he was really corrupt, the murderer should have reported it to the relevant department! Instead of using lynching to brutally kill him, this is a provocation to the rule of law!" "If everyone does this, then what is the role of our police? What is the role of the law?" If the laws made by officials cannot even protect the officials themselves, then what is the point of their existence! "You are useless! You never catch corrupt officials! Maybe you are corrupt yourself!" A young reporter wearing glasses in the crowd replied loudly. In an instant everyone turned to look at him. Si Guoyi, you are so brave brother. Aoyama Hidenobu was also a little confused. He looked around with doubt in his eyes. Has he always been so brave? The young reporter with glasses regretted what he said, but when he saw everyone staring at him, he suddenly became confident and said loudly: "Am I wrong? If the police are useful, why are so many corrupt officials still at large?" "Very good! This journalist friend is able to speak and dare to speak, which is exactly the quality that an excellent media person should possess." Aoyama Hidenobu praised, but then changed the subject, "As for your question of why so many corrupt officials are still at large, who are the corrupt officials you are talking about?" "This..." The bespectacled reporter was suddenly speechless and stammered, "Anyway, it's a lot." "You can't tell, right? That means there aren't that many corrupt officials!" Aoyama Hidenobu suddenly raised his voice and looked around. "If the country was really full of corrupt officials, would it have developed to this point today? The country would have been destroyed long ago! Most officials still want to work for the country and the people! They may not be as good as everyone thinks, but they are definitely not as bad as everyone thinks, so I hope that the people can be patriotic rationally and legally, and not be emotional." What is legal patriotism? It means that all actions are in compliance with the law. The murderer's act of privately killing corrupt officials is illegal patriotism and must be severely punished! "Let's talk about this case again. The murderer not only killed Irie Yomei, but also cut his body into pieces and stewed it. This fully shows that he is a psychopath. Does such a pervert really fit the image of a hero in everyone's mind?" As soon as these words came out, the whole place exploded. After all, this is too cruel and bloody. No normal person can accept this.

"So the murderer is essentially an anti-social psychopath who is satisfying his own desires under the guise of eradicating corrupt officials! He is essentially a criminal and a murderer. The public should not be deceived by him just because the person he kills may be a corrupt official!" "Psychopathy is a disease. He can control himself and only kill the so-called corrupt officials today, but what about tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? Such people have already posed a serious threat to the lives and safety of the people. Please recognize his harm correctly, instead of treating him as a hero!" First, stigmatize the murderer. Otherwise, if the people really regard him as a messenger of justice, what the hell will happen then? "I still have a case to investigate, so let's end the interview here today." Aoyama Hidenobu bowed and turned to go into the house. "Inspector Aoyama, please say a few more words!" "Inspector Aoyama..." The reporters wanted to ask more questions, but were blocked outside the cordon by the police who formed a human wall. "Find out which reporter that bespectacled guy is from and make him unemployed. Damn it, he actually dared to talk back to me." Aoyama Hidenobu said expressionlessly. As everyone knows, Qingshan Taijun is narrow-minded. Fujimoto Ryoichi advised: "Judging from his age, he is just an ignorant young man who has not experienced the harsh punishments of society..." "Then let him go through it, it will also help him grow." Aoyama Hidenobu interrupted him. He has good intentions in cultivating young people! Fujimoto Ryoichi could only respond: "Hi!" "Officer, we found something!" A minor police officer who didn't deserve a name came over with a small piece of plastic wrap in his hand and said, "It was found at the foot of the stool and the sofa leg. There was no blood at the scene. It's possible that the murderer put a layer of plastic wrap on the victim before killing and dismembering him." "It's a deliberate plan. The murderer must be caught as soon as possible." Aoyama Hidenobu looked solemn. Fujimoto Ryoichi raised a question, "But how did the murderer know for sure that Irie Yomei was a corrupt official?" "Maybe he has been investigating for a long time. From the way he laid plastic wrap at the crime scene, we can tell that he is a very patient person." Aoyama Hidenobu replied. This case is very serious, but also very difficult to investigate. After all, a murderer who pays so much attention to details would not leave many clues unless he committed the crime many times. On the way back to the Metropolitan Police Department from the scene, Aoyama Hidenobu saw several stray dogs wandering on the road. I lament that there are more and more stray dogs in Tokyo. They even appeared in groups in downtown areas. After returning to the Metropolitan Police Department, he reported to Aya Asai, who in turn reported to Kunio Nihei. Renping Guoxiong urged the department to solve the case as soon as possible. After all, the deceased was a high-ranking official, and his death was so tragic. If the murderer is not caught in time and commits crimes again, it will easily cause panic among officials. But solving the case was difficult. The surveillance footage brought back from various newspapers only captured a figure wearing a hat and a mask, wrapped tightly, pasting letters on the door in the early morning; the face could not be seen at all. Judging from his body shape, he is a male. Then there were too many people captured by the surveillance cameras near Irie Yoming's house, and they needed to be identified one by one, but Aoyama Hidenobu had no hope, as the murderer must have considered this. In the afternoon, Fujimoto Ryoichi found Aoyama Hidenori to report some news, "Irie Yomei's wife admitted that Irie Yomei had embezzled money and took us to the house where the stolen money was hidden, but the stolen money had disappeared."

"It's obvious that it was taken away by the murderer. He's trying to steal money and kill people." Hidenobu Aoyama, who was sitting behind the desk, said while tapping the table with a pen in his hand. Fujimoto Ryoichi continued, "I guess there are not just one murderer, but at least two. After all, whether it is setting up the scene, dismembering the body, or transferring the stolen money, it takes time and effort. Even if one person can barely complete these tasks, it is impossible to do it so flawlessly." "There should be surveillance cameras in the house where Irie Yomei hid the stolen money, right?" Aoyama Hidenobu asked tentatively. The place where the stolen money is hidden is seldom visited by corrupt officials. So cameras are installed in hidden corners. Fujimoto Ryoichi smiled helplessly, "The memory card was taken away by the murderer. Apparently he discovered the surveillance." "I know corrupt officials very well." Aoyama Hidenobu muttered to himself and exhaled, "It's difficult, it's difficult." .............................. The murder was reported on the evening news. The people were talking about it. Some people find it very gratifying. Some think the murderer is too cruel. Aoyama Hidenobu has a certain degree of fame and prestige among the people. Many people agree with his words and think that the murderer is extreme and perverted, and seriously endangers social stability. More importantly, how did the murderer determine that Irie Yomei was a corrupt official? Is there any evidence? Irie Yomei's confession letter may have been written under duress. "This is too cruel, killing people, dismembering them and cooking them." Haruko Aoyama said with a pale face. Aoyama Hidenobu deliberately scared her, "The head was boiled in the pot. When his wife went back and opened the lid of the pot, she met Irie Yomei's eyes, and her eyeballs fell out..." "Ah!" Aoyama Haruko screamed in fear and stammered, "Don't... don't say anything, I'm scared. I'm going to rest first. Good night." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away without looking back. "Good night, sister-in-law too." Looking at Aoyama Haruko's fleeing back, Aoyama Hidenobu raised the corners of his mouth. At the same time, Inspector Hattori met his friend Watanabe who worked in the Public Security Department's First Division. "Hattori-kun, long time no see." "It's because you're too busy, Watanabe-kun. You didn't come to several parties, so I can only ask you out privately." Watanabe Sho is in his forties, thin, wears a pair of black-framed glasses, and dresses in a somewhat old-fashioned way. After a few drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly heated as people reminisced about the past, but Inspector Hattori suddenly sighed. "What's wrong? Why is Hattori-kun sighing?" Watanabe put down his wine glass and asked in confusion. "I'm about to lose my job." Inspector Hattori raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then raised his hand to wipe his mouth. "Actually, I called Watanabe-kun out today because I need your help. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to resign, and I really don't want to do that!" "Please explain in detail, Hattori-kun." "Aoyama Hidenobu, I'm sure Watanabe-kun should have heard about this..." Inspector Hattori told Watanabe that Aoyama Hidenobu was promoted and that he would be forced to resign.

Watanabe was immediately filled with righteous indignation. "How can this be justified? And Aoyama Hidenobu is too impatient. How old is he, and he wants to be promoted to superintendent?" "Yes, he doesn't understand the principle that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Inspector Hattori nodded in agreement, and then said bitterly: "I will never give way to him, and this person is not a good person, so I hope Watanabe-kun can help me find evidence of his illegal crimes and help me get through this disaster." "This..." Watanabe looked embarrassed. Hattori held his hand tightly and said sincerely and emotionally: "I know it is difficult for you to use your authority to do things beyond your job responsibilities, but it is for the public to remove the bad apples from the police force, and it is also for me, an old classmate, to help you. After the matter is done, if Watanabe-kun has anything to ask for, I will do my best to do it!" "Since Hattori-kun has said so, I would be sorry for our friendship if I still don't agree." "Then, I'll leave everything to Watanabe-kun!" (End of this chapter)
