Chapter 72 Friendship is friendship, but it cannot ruin the market "This morning! I contacted you as soon as I received the message." Watanabe Shusuke replied. Aoyama Hidenobu lowered his head and stared at the photo again. Watanabe Shu was a little embarrassed and reached out to snatch the photo back, "Just take a look at it." No man likes to have his naked body looked at by another man all the time, well, except for gay men of course. "I just came to a crime scene." Aoyama Hidenobu raised his head and looked at Watanabe Shusuke, and said in a low voice: "The deceased is the woman in the photo. She died about 24 hours ago." "This...she...she's dead?" Watanabe Shusuke was shocked at first, then his face turned ugly again. He grabbed Aoyama Hidenobu's arm and said, "Aoyama-kun, you are in charge of this case, right? Don't involve me in this, I don't want to become a joke!" According to the investigation process, the police will definitely summon all people who had contact with the deceased during this period, and Watanabe Osamu had close contact with her. If another woman is found to have secretly taken photos of herself in bed with Watanabe, then Watanabe will also have a motive for committing the crime and will be listed as a key suspect for investigation. Even if he is found innocent in the end, the fact that this incident has caused so much publicity will be detrimental to his reputation.

"Watanabe-kun." Aoyama Hidenobu took his hand off his arm, sighed, and said with an embarrassed look: "I just joined the company today, and I don't have much prestige to speak of. Besides, there is a guy in the department who is always against me. If I don't investigate such an obvious suspect like you, I'm afraid they won't accept it!" "Aoyama-kun, think of a way, you must think of a way!" Watanabe Shuze was so anxious that sweat was about to drip down his face. He said with a sad face: "My wife has a bad temper. If she knows, the consequences will be unpredictable!" Although Japanese men are patriarchal, they also consider their wife's personality and family background. Unfortunately, Watanabe's wife is very strong and her family background is much better than his. It is precisely because he is too depressed at home that he behaves in private because he needs to release the pressure. "Hey, Watanabe-kun, you have to know that I just returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and haven't even established myself yet. It's too difficult to cover up your traces." Aoyama Hidenobu looked worried and sighed, and finally changed the subject and said, "So, Watanabe-kun, you have to pay more!" Brothers, settle accounts. Friendship is friendship, but it cannot ruin the market. "Ah?" Watanabe Shuze was confused. This sounded so familiar. Damn, I just said this a few days ago. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile. "Actually, I felt bad for taking your money last time, Aoyama-kun. I always wanted to return it but never had the chance. God has given me this opportunity. So, Aoyama-kun, help me get through this crisis, and I'll pay you back the 100 million as a reward." Damn, if I had known this I should have not charged any money. That way at least it can deepen the feelings between both parties. "Watanabe-kun, Watanabe-kun! You are wrong." Aoyama Hidenobu shook his head, a little disappointed and annoyed, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by reward for me? Is that what I want? It's your money! Do your job! According to what you said, it seems that I am even making money from my brothers. What do you think of me as?" "Yes, yes, what Aoyama-kun said is right. I spoke without thinking and I am not good at speaking." Watanabe Shusuke apologized and admitted his mistakes repeatedly. He had no objection to giving money. It was like he wanted to be good friends with Aoyama Hidenobu, but he still wanted to collect money when he helped Aoyama Hidenobu. We should be considerate of each other. We are not high-ranking officials. It is not easy for us to work hard to earn some money. We should give what is due. "Don't worry, we are brothers, so I will not sit idly by." Aoyama Hidenobu patted his shoulder with great enthusiasm, and said thoughtfully: "The person who sent the photos to blackmail you is most likely the murderer. You agree to a deal with him, lure him out and catch him. Once we are in the interrogation room, I have plenty of ways to take the negatives from him and destroy them to protect your innocence." So helping Watanabe Shusuke is also helping yourself. Since Masako Mikami took these photos, it means that she was planning to use them to blackmail Watanabe Shusuke from the beginning. The murderer actually knew Watanabe Shusuke's identity, which means he (she) must know Mikami Masako and learned it from her. The motive for the murder might be to keep the photos taken by Masako Mikami for herself and use them for blackmail. "Okay!" Watanabe Shusuke nodded repeatedly, and then he thought of something else, "Oh, by the way, the other party also left me a number and asked me to call him. When I called him just now, he said he wanted 200 million yen and gave me one day to prepare. The transaction method will be notified to me tomorrow."

"Is it a boy or a girl?" asked Aoyama Hidenobu. Watanabe Shu replied: "It's a man, and judging from his voice, he doesn't look very old, probably around 20 to 30 years old." "Give me a copy of your number..." "There's no need to check the number. He used the phone number of Mikami Masako." Watanabe Shusuke guessed what Aoyama Hidenobu was thinking in an instant and interrupted him directly, then said, "The murderer not only took the photos, but also her phone number." "Okay, then, Watanabe-kun, I'll take my leave first. I'll notify you when there's news. If the other party contacts you again, please notify me." Aoyama Hidenobu nodded to end the conversation, and stood up to say goodbye. Watanabe stood up to see him off and bowed solemnly to Aoyama Hidenobu, "Aoyama-kun, I'll leave everything to you!" "Don't worry, you helped me, so I will naturally do my best to help you." Aoyama Hidenobu turned and left. "Bang!" When he heard the door close, Watanabe Shusuke raised his head, exhaled and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It is true that beautiful women have always been the cause of trouble! Then he turned and walked to his desk and sat down. I took out my diary and started writing. I began to reflect and warn myself for the Nth time in my diary, vowing to abstain from sex next time. I ended with the sentence "Lust is the beginning of self-defilement and self-debasement. Be careful to avoid it!" .............................. Yamamoto Naoshiro couldn't wait to be discharged from the hospital today. As a lustful man, how could he bear the loneliness of staying in the hospital? He was discharged without even removing the bandages. Of course, it was also because his injuries were not serious. "Shang, why don't you stay in the hospital for a few more days?" Mrs. Yamamoto looked worried. Yamamoto Shang was annoyed. "I know my own body well. Instead of talking nonsense, you might as well go back and reopen the flower shop and hire a beautiful woman. That would make me happier." After suffering a loss at the hands of Haruko Aoyama, he felt extremely angry and needed to find someone to vent his anger on. He only likes to violate good families. The feeling of forcing them to submit makes him unable to extricate himself. "I have posted the recruitment information, and someone will come soon." Mrs. Yamamoto said. "Okay, stop holding me." After walking out of the hospital gate, Yamamoto shook off his mother's hand and left on his own, muttering, "You walk slower than me." Mrs. Yamamoto was not annoyed at all. She stood there watching her son walk further and further away with a smile on her face. But the next second her smile froze. A car knocked down Yamamoto Shang who was crossing the road against a red light, but because the speed was not fast, no serious injuries were caused. Yamamoto Shang lay on the ground and refused to get up, cursing, "Baka! How did you drive? Are you blind? Didn't you see there was someone? Pay the money now! If you don't pay, either you run over me or you can't leave today!" Mrs. Yamamoto, who had originally looked panicked, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene. Knowing her son well, she knew that he was not seriously injured and was just taking the opportunity to extort money. Her son is smart and his mind works quickly. Mrs. Yamamoto quickly prepared to step forward to assist. But at this moment, the cold chain truck that knocked down Yamamoto started again. The driver stepped on the accelerator and ran over Yamamoto's lower body and drove away.

The sudden scene scared the passers-by. "Ahhhh! My legs! My legs!" Yamamoto Hisao's legs were crushed to pieces by the cold chain truck, his trouser legs were soaked in blood and hung limply on the ground, his facial features were distorted and he screamed. "Ah! Shang! My son! Ah!" Mrs. Yamamoto, who was about to step forward to cooperate with her son in the fraud, was heartbroken when she saw this scene. She ran over and threw herself on Yamamoto Hisashi, bursting into tears. "Someone come quickly! Please save my son!" The cries of mother and child were heartbreaking. Fortunately, the hospital was nearby, so medical staff arrived quickly and carried Yamamoto Naoshige, who had just been discharged from the hospital, back to the hospital and sent him to the operating room for emergency treatment. On the other side, Aoyama Hidenobu naturally didn't know about this little episode, he had already returned to the office. "Let me tell you, the victim's head was almost chopped off. It was just like something out of a horror movie..." Ryosai Sakai, who had returned earlier, was describing the crime scene in vivid detail with several colleagues. "Deputy Minister!" The next second, everyone stood up and saluted. "Yes." Aoyama Hidenobu nodded calmly in response, looked at Sakai and said, "I will be responsible for this case alone. Sakai, you help me, and everyone else can focus on your own work." If we don't want Watanabe Shusuke's involvement to be exposed, this case cannot be handled by too many people. "Hi!" everyone responded in unison. Heiji Kanjo curled his lips, thinking that Aoyama Hidenobu didn't want them to help because he wanted to solve the case on his own and use it as his first step after joining the company. However, he had just learned about the situation through Sakai's narration. Without witnesses and surveillance, it would not be so easy to solve the case. Aoyama Hidenobu wanted to show his face. He was just waiting to see his butt stick out. "Deputy Minister, it might be difficult for just the two of us!" Sakai walked to Aoyama Hidenobu's desk and said in a low voice with some anxiety on his face. Aoyama Hidenobu glanced at him indifferently. If only Fujimoto and Nakamura were here. The two of them would never say such bullshit. Unfortunately, each department has a limited number of staff. If you want to let them in, you have to clear two people out. Aoyama Hidenobu looked at Kaneshiro Heiji and Takizawa Mapura and decided to kick them out as soon as possible. Seeing that Aoyama Hidenobu didn't respond, Sakai Yoshisai decided to let him know how difficult it was. "The surveillance camera in the apartment broke a week ago and has not been repaired. The security guard of the apartment also said that he didn't see any strange faces coming in or out." "Are you done?" asked Aoyama Hidenobu. Sakai Ryosai suddenly didn't dare to continue speaking.

Aoyama Hidenobu said: "These are things I should consider, you just need to follow my orders." "Hi!" Ryosai Sakai immediately bowed and apologized. Aoyama Hidenobu waved his hand and said, "Call and see if the person who called the police has woken up." "Oh, I've already called, and the person who called the police has already woken up." Ryocai Sakai suddenly remembered this. Aoyama Hidenobu felt that this guy was not that bad after all, and before he could even sit down to relax, he stood up and walked out, saying, "Come with me to take a look." Although he only needed to wait for Watanabe Shusuke to lure out the murderer, it would naturally be better if he could understand and grasp more of the situation. The person who reported the case is a friend of Masako Mikami, and perhaps we can get clues about the murderer from her. The two of them had just left. Soon after, Jincheng Heiji also left the office. (End of this chapter)
