Chapter 174: Selling out your country as soon as possible, two blackmail calls In the private room of the izakaya. Aoyama Hidenobu and Richard sat facing each other. There were drinks and dishes on the table in the middle. "I guess Inspector Aoyama is wondering why I'm looking for you, right?" Richard said with a smile. Aoyama Hidenobu nodded, "Yes, after all, I am just an insignificant person..." "No, no, no, Inspector Aoyama is too modest." Richard interrupted him, shook his head, looked at him seriously and said, "As the son-in-law of the Asai family, he became a close friend of the only son of the Hikokawa family with such a wonderful idea as the automatic loan machine. He controls two gangs and has made many great achievements. He is praised by the media as the No. 1 detective in the Heisei era. He has a very high reputation and popularity among the people. You may still be a small figure now, but you are definitely not insignificant." Aoyama Hidenobu was not surprised that Richard could accurately tell some information about himself. This was his profession, and he might even know what color pants he was wearing today. "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Richard. Even so, I am not a big shot. Why should I ask you to come and see me in person?" Aoyama Hidenobu asked calmly. "You will be a big shot in the future." Richard said affirmatively, then picked up the glass and drank it all, wiping his mouth. "For people with potential like Inspector Aoyama, we always make advance contact to show our friendship. We can help Inspector Aoyama solve some minor problems in the future. Today, I will give you some information as a gift. Watanabe Xiang of the Public Security Section is secretly investigating you. Before that, he had contact with your immediate superior, Inspector Hattori. Inspector, be careful." This is sincerity, but also deterrence.

"Thank you Mr. Richard for telling me." Aoyama Hideki's heart sank. If the other party hadn't said it, with the investigation ability of the Ministry of Public Security, he might have really fallen flat on his face. What does this old man Hattori want to do? But no matter what, he has already found his way to death! After thinking for a while, he asked again: "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so what do I have to pay for it?" "It doesn't require anything from you, the police chief. You just need to remember our friendship and help." Richard smiled slightly, and then changed the subject, "Of course, we may need you occasionally, but I hope you won't refuse when the time comes. The higher your status, the more benefits you can get from us, but you will also have to pay more. Isn't this fair?" "It is indeed fair, Mr. Richard. I like this deal." Aoyama Hidenobu laughed and raised his glass, saying, "Let us toast to fairness." "Cheers." Richard raised his glass and clinked it with him. After drinking it all, he wiped his mouth and asked casually, "What does Inspector Aoyama think of the United States?" "A paradise of oil and rice!" Aoyama Hidenobu blurted out without hesitation, saying, "If I didn't want to stay and build and develop my own country, I really wanted to immigrate to the holy land in my mind and breathe a breath of air full of gunpowder... full of the sweetness of freedom." "It's a pity that you can't have your cake and eat it too." He is licking hard now and showing his attitude to the people behind him through Richard. When the day comes when he really succeeds in taking power, the Americans will find that this guy is not as easy to talk to as before. Of course, it is estimated that Richard contacted him just as a personal act. After all, his current status is not enough to be seen by those behind him, but as his status improves, this day will come sooner or later. You should sell out your country as early as possible, otherwise, after you have sold out everything before you, what the hell will you sell after you come to power? Half an hour later, the two separated. Before leaving, Richard gave Aoyama Hidenobu a number, saying it was his assistant's number and that he should call it when he needed help. Watching Richard drive away, Aoyama Hidenobu looked at the note with the number written on it in his hand with a smile on his face. Then he called Nohara Ito. "Prepare one million dollars in cash for me." I don't believe Richard can withstand this test. If he can really afford it, then add more money! It was already 12 o'clock in the evening when I got home. Haruko Aoyama was still awake and watching TV on the sofa. The hot Elena was standing straight behind her. "Sir." Elena bowed slightly to him. Aoyama Hidenobu waved her to go out, looked at his sister-in-law who was curled up in a small ball in her nightgown on the sofa and asked, "Sister-in-law, why aren't you asleep yet?" "I don't blame you. You scared me on purpose yesterday." Aoyama Haruko rolled her eyes at him resentfully, pouted her pink and moist red lips and said, "I saw the news last night about another dead person being cut up and stewed, and I thought of what you said to scare me yesterday. This house is too big and empty, and I dare not sleep, so I asked Elena to accompany me." "How about this, I'll sleep with you." Aoyama Hidenobu walked over and sat down beside her, saying lightly. Aoyama Haruko's face immediately turned red, and she kicked him with her white and tender feet. She puffed her cheeks angrily and pretended to be serious and said, "Don't make such jokes!"

Damn Xiu Xin, he is becoming less and less respectful to me. "What's wrong?" Aoyama Hidenobu said with a wronged expression, "Sister-in-law, I mean I will watch you sleep, and I will leave after you fall asleep." "Oh...oh, I see." Aoyama Haruko knew she had misunderstood, and felt a little embarrassed. She asked carefully, "I didn't hurt you just now, did I?" "Yes, it hurts." Aoyama Hidenobu covered the part where he had just been kicked, with a look of unbearable pain on his face. Aoyama Haruko kicked him again and said angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool? I didn't use any strength just now. Don't try to fool me." However, Aoyama Hidenobu grabbed her feet. Haruko Aoyama is small in stature and has even smaller feet, so he can hold her in one hand. She has a perfect shape and a smooth surface, and it feels like an exquisite work of art in his hand. "Hidenobu, what are you...what are you doing? Let me go." Haruko Aoyama's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp. She was frightened and embarrassed and wanted to pull her foot back. Seeing that she was about to cry and act like a punching bag, Aoyama Hidenobu finally let her go. "I...I'm going to rest." Haruko Aoyama withdrew her foot and suddenly was no longer afraid. She put on her slippers and hurried upstairs. However, Aoyama Hidenobu did not rush to bed, but called Suzuki Daisuke, Deputy Director of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. "Vice Minister Suzuki, I'm Aoyama Hidenobu." "It's Aoyama-kun, what's the matter?" Suzuki Nobita said in a friendly manner, because thanks to Aoyama Hidenobu's mediation, he and his daughter Suzuki Junko were able to resolve the misunderstanding and reconcile. He was grateful to him. Aoyama Hidenobu said, "I'm sorry to disturb you by calling you so late at night, but the situation is urgent. My immediate superior, Superintendent Hattori, and Watanabe Sho of the Public Security Department's First Section are investigating me for some reason, and I've been busy with the dismemberment murderer case and have no time to take care of it. I hope you can help me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll get into trouble." You have to use the connections you've made, otherwise if you have to do everything yourself, then what's the point of making friends. "Baga! Don't worry, Aoyama-kun, I will never let these two guys hold you back. The Metropolitan Police Department should not have such scum who secretly investigate their colleagues!" Suzuki Daisuke said righteously. He didn't know Watanabe Akira and Inspector Hattori, nor did he care whether these two people were good or bad, nor did he care why they were against Aoyama Hidenobu. He only knew that Aoyama Hidenobu had helped him and it was time to repay the favor. Aoyama Hidenobu said sincerely: “Please!” ............................... "Dingle bell! Dingle bell!" I was woken up by the phone again in the morning. Aoyama Hidenobu thought that another dismemberment case had occurred somewhere, but he never expected that it was Aoyama Munemasa who called. "Hidenobu, the person who was used to plot against Jiro Nipei ran away, right?" asked Aoyama Munemasa. Aoyama Hidenobu asked, "How do you know?" He never told Aoyama Munemasa about this, because after completing his plan against Nihei Jiro, Aoyama Munemasa's mission in the entire plan would be over. "I just received a letter with a phone number in the envelope. I called and they said they had the person in their possession. They asked me to raise 100 million yen to redeem him before 7pm, or they would hand him over to Kunio Nihei. They would notify me of the specific transaction location later." Upon hearing this, Aoyama Hidenobu's first reaction was that the bearded man was directing and acting in the film himself in order to make some more money. But then he ruled out this suspicion.

After all, now that the bearded man already knows the identity of Councillor Aoyama Munemasa and the identity of the second son of Superintendent General Nijiro, he must be aware that he cannot afford to offend either of them and would not dare to do so. "Hidenobu, what should we do? We must not let the person fall into the hands of Nihei Kunio, otherwise we will be in trouble if he asks him to change his testimony and accuse us of bribing him to frame Nihei Jiro." Aoyama Munemasa was a little anxious and pressed. Aoyama Hidenobu pondered for a moment and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no better way. Prepare the money first, then wait for the criminals' call, and keep in touch with me at any time. We will deal with them as the time comes." "Uh... I don't have that much money." Qingshan Zongzheng's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, sounding a little embarrassed. Aoyama Hidenobu asked, "Where is the money you swindled from Jinpei Jiro? Have you spent it all?" "I've bought a car and a house, and also donated money several times. I just counted it, and there are only more than 70 million left." Qingshan Munen said embarrassedly. Ever since Renping Jilang was no longer there to suck his blood, he has not been able to spend money freely recently and misses Jilang every day. Aoyama Hidenobu was too tired to complain, "Then it's 70 million. The other party won't count them one by one. Besides, if you want to make money, 70 million is not a small amount of money." "Hi!" Qingshan Zongzheng responded. At the same time, on the other side, Renping Guoxiong, who was preparing to go out for a morning run, found a letter stuffed into his yard through the crack of the door as soon as he went out. He opened the letter and found a telephone number inside. He frowned, went back home, picked up the phone and dialed, saying, "This is Renping Guoxiong." "Director Ren Ping, I have long heard of your name." "Stop talking nonsense and tell me straight. What is your purpose in being sneaky?" Renping Guoxiong said impatiently. "Oh, the director is straightforward. In that case, I won't beat around the bush. The man who accused your son of rape is in my hands. How much do you think he's worth?" "What did you say?" Renping Guoxiong was shocked when he heard this, and then questioned: "Why should I believe you? Is there any evidence to prove it?" “You should remember his voice. I’ll let him say a few words to you.” After he finished speaking, the other side fell silent. Then came the voice that made him hate it so much, “Wuwuwuwu, Mr. Director, I was wrong. I was forced to do this. Please save me. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die!” Jinping Kunio's face was gloomy and he suspected that Aoyama Hidenobu was trying to cheat him out of his money by this trick. He probed, "How much do you want?" "One hundred million yen, is that a small amount for you, Director?" the voice of the gangster just now came. Jinping Kunio was certain that the person on the other side was not Aoyama Hidenobu's man. After all, if Aoyama Hidenobu wanted to set up a trap to cheat him of his money, he would never be so petty. He suddenly thought of the phone call that Aoyama Hidenobu made to him the night he failed to kidnap the person. Now thinking about it carefully, is it possible that the person took advantage of the chaos that night and Aoyama Hidenobu was afraid that he would find out and send someone to look for him, so he used threats to confuse him. After the bearded man escaped that night, he somehow fell into the hands of the kidnappers. The kidnappers learned the reason from him and guessed that they must be interested in him, so they used him to exchange money with themselves. After making this guess, a smile appeared on Nihei Kunio's face, Aoyama Hidenobu, you are finished. "Okay! I agree. How do you want to trade?" "Raise the money before seven o'clock, and I will call you to tell you where and how to trade." (End of this chapter)
