Chapter 74 The truth is not important "You bring money to Arakawa Nature Park now." As Watanabe expected, after a brief silence, the other party accepted the fact that he could only get 100 million. "Hi! I'll be right there!" After the other party hung up the phone, Watanabe Shusuke immediately called Aoyama Hidenori, "Aoyama-kun, the blackmailer contacted me and asked me to take the money to Arakawa Nature Park now. Do you want to ambush in the park first?" During the two phone calls, although the person on the other end tried his best to act calm, he could sense the nervousness in his voice; it must be the first time he had done such a thing. For this inexperienced rookie, Watanabe Osamu felt that he could just pin him down at the transaction site. "No, give him the money." Aoyama Hidenobu calmly analyzed, "We have to prevent the other party from having more than one person, or hiring one person to trade with us while hiding behind the scenes. So we can't alert the enemy. Just trade honestly, but hide a tracker in the bag containing the money." They must hit the target with one strike, otherwise if they scare the opponent and cause it to hide and never show up again, it will be difficult to catch them, so they must take precautions in advance. "Hey! Aoyama-kun is really cautious." Watanabe Shusuke took two micro trackers directly from the police station and went to the parking lot. The 100 million cash he had placed in the trunk last night.

As a small corrupt official, if discounted financial bonds are not counted, this is the maximum amount he can raise in a short period of time, so no matter how much the other party wants, he will only give 100 million. To put it in a domineering way: blackmailing me does not depend on how much you want, but on how much I have! Watanabe Shusuke hid the two trackers in the bottom gap of two bags filled with money, and then drove at full speed straight to Arakawa Nature Park. This park is located at 7-chome, Arakawa-ku, which is quite a distance from Akasaka. Even though Watanabe Osamu hurried, it still took him more than half an hour to get there. After parking the car, he picked up his mobile phone and called the blackmailer, "I'm at the park entrance." Because it was working hours and this place was relatively remote, there were not many people in the park. "Do you see the trash can at the door?" the blackmailer asked, and then continued without waiting for Watanabe Shusuke to answer: "Put the money in and drive away. I warn you, don't play tricks. If I can't return within the safe time, my companions will spread your photos all over Japan!" The person on the other end was breathing heavily while speaking. "Don't worry, I won't gamble my future for this little money." Watanabe Shuze snorted coldly and hung up the phone. After getting out of the car, he looked around, took out two large packages from the trunk and threw them into the trash can. Then he got in his car and drove away from the park, while calling the blackmailer, "I've done what you asked. The money is in the trash can. When will I get my photo?" "I'll contact you again." The person on the other end said this, then hung up and turned off the phone. Not long after Watanabe Shusuke left, a young cleaner who was neither fat nor thin, about meters tall, wearing a hat and a mask, appeared at the entrance of the nature park and slowly left pushing a trash can. "Humph! Stupid guy, you're done for." On the other side, in the car, Watanabe Osamu looked at the signal receiver of the tracker on the co-pilot seat and saw that the package was starting to move, and he smiled contemptuously. Finally, the receiver showed that the package stopped in a residential area in Harajuku 1-chome, Shibuya District. Watanabe Osamu took the receiver and changed a taxi to the residential area. He took out his ID and asked the driver to cooperate with the investigation and let him pass in front of every house. Finally, he locked on the specific room number by comparing the signal strength, and immediately called Aoyama Hidenobu. "It's at 15-17 Harajuku -chome in Shibuya." "Yoshi, Watanabe-kun, leave the rest to me!" Aoyama Hidenobu said in a relaxed tone. "Then I'll leave everything to Aoyama-kun!" On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Aoyama Hidenobu went to the target location alone with a gun without his subordinates.

On the way, I called Fujimoto Ryoichi and Nakamura Shinichi and asked them to go there as well. After all, these two are the only ones who can be fully trusted. Both the Metropolitan Police Department and the Shinjuku Police Station are not far from Harajuku 1-chome in Shibuya-ku, so the two sides met in front of the target house after about ten minutes. "It's unknown how many people are inside, but they shouldn't have any hot weapons. Hold them all down once you get in!" Aoyama Hidenobu pulled out his gun and said to the two men. "Hi!" The two nodded solemnly. Then Shinichi Nakamura stepped forward and pressed the doorbell. "Dingling bell~Dingling bell~" The doorbell rang for almost a full minute before a vigilant voice came through the intercom, "Who is it?" "I have a letter from you." Nakamura Shinichi replied. "My letter?" The person inside muttered to himself in confusion. Soon, footsteps were heard and through the crack in the door, a figure could be seen approaching. Then the gate was opened a crack from the inside. Fujimoto Yoshiichi raised his foot and kicked the door open with a bang. The person who was about to open the door was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the door. "Don't move! Police! If you move, I'll kill you!" Shinichi Nakamura rushed into the yard right after him, stepped on the man's head and warned him with a gun. At the same time, Fujimoto Ryoichi had already crossed the yard and rushed into the house, "Police! Get down!" The two of them cooperated very smoothly. "The house is safe." After a while, Fujimoto Ryoichi walked out of the house, holding a young woman with disheveled hair and handcuffs in his hands. Aoyama Hidenobu then walked into the yard. When he saw the woman in Fujimoto Ryoichi's hand, he was stunned at first, then he laughed, "You really can't judge a person by his appearance. You acted really well in the hospital yesterday. You fooled me." The woman was the person who called the police, Ayaka Aso. At this time, Aso Ayaka lowered her head and said nothing. "Bring them all into the house." Aoyama Hidenobu waved his hand, then walked into the house. He saw stacks of large-denomination banknotes on the coffee table in the living room, and there was still a lot of money in the two bags on the ground that had not been taken out. After all, this is a full 100 million yuan. It would take a long time just to get it out, so they didn't have time to find the tracker hidden at the bottom. The young man and Aso Ayaka were brought into the living room. Aoyama Hidenobu sat down on the sofa, picked up a wad of money and played with it, looking at the two people who were forced to kneel on the ground and said, "To sum up the whole incident in one sentence, the adulterer and the woman were tempted by the money and killed their best friend, right?" "No... No!" Aso Ayaka suddenly raised her head and said excitedly: "I didn't kill Masako, I didn't kill Masako! We just took the photos. She was my best friend, how could I kill her, wuwu, it really wasn't me..." "So you were the one who killed him?" Aoyama Hidenobu threw the money in his hand onto the young man's face. There were several obvious scratches on his face. "No! It wasn't me!" The young man panicked and tried to defend himself, stammering, "I did fight with her, but...but I just knocked her out, that's all. I didn't kill her!"

Looking at the frightened looks of the two men, Aoyama Hidenobu narrowed his eyes. They didn't look like they were lying. "We really didn't kill him!" Aso Ayaka shouted. To prove her innocence, she confessed everything like pouring beans, "We...we just wanted to make money. How could we kill someone..." The two of them started talking to each other. The young man is called Kitano Kyoka. He is Aso Ayaka’s boyfriend of two and a half years and they have a very good relationship. But he was addicted to gambling and was in a lot of debt. So he relied entirely on Aso Ayaka to sell her body to support him. But this time, Kitano Kyōka owed a high-interest loan to the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the other party threatened to harvest his organs if he couldn't pay back the money. Just when Aso Ayaka was worried about her boyfriend's debt, her good friend Mikami Masako suddenly found her a few days ago, took out her bed photos with Watanabe Shusuke and invited her to cooperate with her in blackmailing her. In order to help her boyfriend pay off the Yamaguchi-gumi's gambling debts, Aso Ayaka immediately agreed and told her boyfriend about it. However, after learning about this, Kitano Kyoka became greedy and wanted to snatch the photo for herself. After all, blackmail is not something you can only do once. This is a long-term and stable way to make money! In the end, Aso Ayaka was overwhelmed by the evil spirit and was persuaded by her boyfriend to betray her best friend for love. She secretly made a key to Mikami Masako's house and gave it to Kitano Kyoka. Two days ago in the early morning, Kitano Kyoka put on a hood and gloves, used a key to open the door of Mikami Masako's house, and sneaked in, taking her hostage while she was sleeping. Force her to tell where she put the bed photo. The reason for using this method is that we are afraid that if stolen, it will take a long time to find where the photos are hidden. He also wanted to create the illusion for Masako Mikami that he was sent by Shusuke Watanabe, so that she would never suspect Ayaka Aso afterwards. Masako Mikami was very scared and honestly told the whereabouts of the hidden photos, but when Kitano Kyoka went to get them, she tried to escape, and the two got into a fight. In the end, Kitano Kyoka knocked him unconscious. He took the photo and left in a hurry. "After that, Masako didn't contact me for a whole day. She didn't come to work and my phone couldn't be reached. I was worried so I went to her house, but I didn't expect..." Aso Ayaka cried and choked with sobs, and shouted hoarsely: "We really didn't kill her!" "Yes, we just want to make money, how can we have the courage to kill people! If I had the courage to kill people, I would have become rich long ago! And why should I kill her when I have got her photo? Even if I wanted to kill her, I wouldn't use such a cruel method!" Kitano Kyoka kept protesting her injustice. Aoyama Hidenobu felt that the two were telling the truth. But I'm afraid what if the two of them are lying? But he soon figured it out. Why bother with all this? How important is the truth? Aoyama Hidenobu looked at Kitano Kyoka and asked, "Did the wound on your face come from the fight with Mikami Masako?" "Yes, I was scratched too." Kitano Kyoka nodded and admitted, adding: "But I just knocked her out, I definitely didn't kill her!" "That is to say, there is some of your human epidermal tissue left in Mikami Masako's fingernails." Aoyama Hidenobu smiled brightly, and then said with a cold look in his eyes: "You are the murderer!" "I didn't! I didn't! I really didn't kill anyone!" Kitano Kyoka burst into tears. Shinichi Nakamura and Ryoichi Fujimoto looked at each other.

It doesn’t matter whether Kitano Kyōka kills anyone or not. The important thing is that there is evidence to prove that he is the murderer. So don't blame Qingshan Hideshige for using him to close the case. If he really didn't kill the person, then he can only blame his bad luck for taking the blame for someone else. "Haha, every criminal says that." Aoyama Hidenobu didn't care at all who the real murderer was. He had already decided to use the two people in front of him to close the case. Anyway, these two guys were not good people. It's not like he really wants to be a detective and uphold justice. As long as we can catch the murderer and close the case, that's enough. "Please check again! There must be other clues. It really isn't me, it isn't us!" "I didn't kill anyone! I didn't, wuwu..." Aso Ayaka and Kitano Kyoka cried loudly, banged their heads on the ground, and kowtowed to beg Aoyama Hidenobu. But Aoyama Hidenobu remained unmoved. He reached out and took a few stacks of banknotes and threw them to Shinichi Nakamura and Ryoichi Fujimoto. "Thank you for your hard work today. Take it." "Hi!" The two were not polite. "Put the money back in the bag." Aoyama Hidenobu motioned for the two men to help him, and said, "I'll find a way to get you all to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible." "Hi! Thank you, Inspector!" The two were immediately excited when they heard this. Aoyama Hidenobu asked them to take the money away, while he called Sakai Yoshisai and asked him to bring two people to take Aso and Kitano back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
