Chapter 103 The Mastermind, Kurosawa Nobuyuki Summoned "me……" Ito Hiro stuttered and was unable to speak. "Tell me! Why did you betray me? How have I ever let you down?" Yamada Yuyuki asked again. Like a man whose wife has cheated on him. Ito Hiro lowered his head, tears streaming down his face instantly. He did not explain the reason for his betrayal, but kept begging for mercy, "Prosecutor, I was wrong, I have let you down, please let me go, let me go!" “Baga! You bastard!” Yamada Yuichi knocked him to the ground with one punch, then rode on him and punched him left and right, “You almost killed me! And you still want me to let you go? You almost killed me!” "Pull them apart," said Aoyama Hidenobu. Two members of the Yamakawa family immediately stepped forward, holding Yamada Yuyuki on the left and right, and forcibly pulled him apart. Ito Hiroshi was about to get up when Aoyama Hidenobu stepped on him and said, "I don't care why you betrayed him. I just want to know where the photo is." "I can't tell you, and I won't tell you. If I tell you, you won't let me go." Ito Hiroshi shook his head repeatedly.

"You really don't want to drink when you're toast." Aoyama Hidenobu kicked him on the head, let him go and turned to the side, "Yamakawa-kun, help me pry his mouth open." He is not a bad person, and of course he doesn't like to torture people with his own hands. It's better to leave this matter to others. I just happened to want to vent my anger before. "Hi!" Yamakawa Kazushiro bowed and then took out a pair of common household pliers from the toolbox. The two men immediately held down Ito Hiroshi. "Let me go! Let me go!" Ito Hiroshi struggled violently but to no avail. Yamakawa Kazushiro walked slowly to his side with a pair of pliers, squatted down, and began to pull out his nails. As a nail was pulled off, the pink flesh on the finger was instantly covered with blood. Ito Hiroshi's face was distorted with pain, and he screamed in agony, with sweat pouring down his forehead. "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! Stop it now!" Since Aoyama Hidenobu did not stop, Yamakawa Ikki turned a deaf ear to him and pulled out another one of his nails. “Ahhhhhhh!” Ito Hiroshi’s face turned pale with pain, tears kept rolling down his cheeks, and he cried out in a sobbing voice: “I’ll tell you! Tell me everything!” "Stop." Aoyama Hidenobu finally spoke. Shanchuan Yicheng stood up and walked to the side. "Yamada Yuyuki! You said you have never done anything wrong to me, then why am I still your assistant after all these years!" Ito Hiroshi paused for a moment, then he roared with resentment in his eyes. Upon hearing this, Yamada Yuzhi asked back, "Does being my assistant wrong you? You've made a lot of money in my name, right? Without me, would you be able to dress so glamorously and look so decent now?" "Money? Hahahaha! Money? Do I work like a slave for you just for money?" Ito Hiroshi laughed and said through gritted teeth, "It's simply that you use me too easily and don't want to let me go, so you're unwilling to help me make further progress in my career!" When Yamada Yuzhi heard this, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural, because this was indeed the reason. Another reason is that Hiroshi Ito knew too many of his secrets, and he was really worried about letting him develop freely. "I'm not interested in your grudges. Where is the photo?" Aoyama Hidenobu asked coldly.

"Oh, you have nothing to say, right? You're accusing me of betraying you? In the final analysis, you're nothing but a hypocritical villain!" Ito Hiroshi sneered, and then answered Aoyama Hidenobu's question, "I didn't have anyone steal the photos. It was the water source prosecutor. I just told him the news, and he arranged for someone to steal it." "Mizugen Masahisa?" asked Yamada Yuyuki. "Who else? He promised to find a good position for me." Ito Hiro replied coldly. Yamada Yuzhi's face was gloomy, and he explained to Aoyama Hidenori, "Mizumoto Masahisa and I both belong to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors' Office, and he is the head of the General Affairs Division. He originally set his sights on the position of head of the Personnel Division, but I got there first, so he has always held a grudge against me. He is indeed capable of doing such a thing." "Is he also working for Kurosawa Nobuyuki?" Aoyama Hidenobu was more concerned about Mizumoto Masahisa's political stance. Yamada Yuzhi nodded, and then analyzed Mizuhara Masahisa's purpose, "After he got the photos, he kept them secret. When I failed to hand over the photos, I would naturally be held accountable by President Kurosawa. Then he would find a reason to hand over the photos. Not only would he get rid of me, but he would also be valued by President Kurosawa." "In other words, the photos are still in his hands and have not been handed over?" Aoyama Hidenobu grasped the key point. Yamada Yuzhi nodded, "Yes, if he just wanted to steal the credit from me, he would have handed it in as soon as he got the photo. Since he also wants to get rid of me, he definitely hasn't handed it in yet." "What should we do?" Aoyama Hidenobu threw the decision to him. After all, Mizumoto Masahisa was a prosecutor of the same level as him, and he could not just arrest or kill him as he did with Sugimoto Yumi and Ito Hiroshi. Even killing Ito Hiroshi is troublesome. Yamada Yuzhi's face was uncertain. After a moment of silence, he said, "If we can't get the photo, we will both die. Is there any worse consequence than this?" He was obviously pushed into a corner and was ready to take a risk. "We can't touch him. The consequences are too serious and we can't afford it." Aoyama Hidenobu denied his idea of ​​using violence against Mizuhara without hesitation. Mizugen Masahisa's status is already quite high. If anything happens to him, both the prosecution and the police will get to the bottom of it. The risk is too great. Even if he survives the incident with Kurosawa Nobuyuki, he may not be able to escape the investigation. Even if they eventually escape investigation, as long as they have the suspicion, they can forget about moving up any further. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, one should never physically destroy people of status and position. Yamada Yuyuki was so anxious that his mind was a little confused, so he spoke without thinking. After what Aoyama Hidenobu said, he calmed down. "Mizuhara's parents died early, his wife divorced him and took the children abroad. He is like a hedgehog, and it is difficult to bite him." "I have an idea..." Aoyama Hidenobu stared at Ito Hiroshi and suddenly spoke slowly. Yamada Yuzhi asked: "What method?" "Since Mizugen Masahisa wants to kill two birds with one stone, he will definitely not hand in the photos within three days. We still have time." Aoyama Hidenobu first gave a conclusion, and then told his plan in detail: "This way... and this way..." The more Yamada Yuzhi listened, the brighter his eyes became. Ito Hiroshi listened with his eyes wide open and cursed at the two people, "Two sinister villains..." "Stop making so much noise, block it." said Aoyama Hidenobu. Soon Ito Hiroshi was speechless and could only whimper, his face turning red with anger. "Aoyama-kun, you're tall! You're really tall." Yamada Yuyuki gave a heartfelt compliment. "Thank you very much. It's just a small trick." Aoyama Hidenobu waved his hand modestly. The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"hahahahahahahaha!" ............................... Although I didn't get home until three or four in the morning last night. But the next morning, Aoyama Hidenobu still got up early, had breakfast and went to work at the Metropolitan Police Department. On the way, I received calls from Ryoichi Fujimoto and Shinichi Nakamura, who both said that the surveillance camera did not capture the thief's face and that there were no witnesses nearby at the time. Aoyama Hidenobu had expected this, and now that he knew the mastermind behind stealing the photos was Mizumoto Masahisa, he no longer cared about the thief, so he told the two men not to continue their investigation. After arriving at the office, Sakai Ryosai handed him a file bag and said, "Deputy Minister, this is what Chief Asai asked you to come and give it to you." "Okay, thanks." Aoyama Hidenobu guessed that it should be information about Kurosawa Nobuyuki. He thanked him and returned to his seat, opened the file bag and started reading. Kurosawa Nobuyuki, 78, has served as a member of the House of Representatives, deputy prime minister, defense minister, and construction minister. He succeeded as vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party last year and has a very high voice in the party. Looking at his detailed information, dead memories began to attack Aoyama Hidenobu, and he finally remembered some information about him that he accidentally saw when he took on some Japanese business in his previous life. Although this guy seems to be in his prime now, he will be finished in August this year. Aoyama Hidenobu didn't know the specific incident that led to his downfall, but he knew one thing: the building did not collapse overnight, which meant that Kurosawa Nobuyuki's political enemies had already been working to deal with him. And he remembered that because of this incident, the Liberal Democratic Party, which had ruled Japan for decades, was about to split, resulting in the first loss of power. Kurosawa Nobuya died just a few years later. Originally, Aoyama Hidenobu was thinking of enduring the humiliation and using photos to curry favor with Lao Deng, but now it seems that he has changed his mind and must take the opportunity to add insult to injury! Get the photo and give it to Kurosawa Nobuyuki's political enemies, giving him a push on the road to destruction, and you will also get rewards from Kurosawa Nobuyuki's political enemies. It just so happened that because of the psychological pressure he endured last night, although he had not yet met Kurosawa Nobuyuki, he was already unhappy with him, and this was a good opportunity to vent his anger. "Dingling bell~Dingling bell~" The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts. "Moshimoshi?" Aoyama Hidenobu answered. "Come down, there is a car waiting for you. President Kurosawa wants to see you." A voice that could not be refused reached Aoyama Hidenobu's ears, which immediately cheered him up. Kurosawa Nobuyuki? Why did that old guy suddenly come to see me? He didn't dare to refuse. After all, even if Kurosawa Nobuyuki was going to die tomorrow, it wasn't over today yet. If he dares to refuse, there is no need to wait until tomorrow, he can be dealt with today. "Hey! I'll be down now." Aoyama Hidenobu answered in a polite manner. Then he quickly called Yamada Takeyuki. But the call didn't go through. It's over. He instantly guessed that Yamada Takeyuki must have been invited away by Kurosawa Nobuyuki and was unable to answer the phone. Seeing these two little people at the same time, there is only one possibility: they knew that the photo was lost.

All Aoyama Hidenobu could do now was pray that Yamada Yuyuki was smart enough and didn't say anything nonsense before he arrived. Otherwise, they both will end up in trouble. (End of this chapter)
