Chapter 32: Strike first, the unexpected discovery of the Nohara family (please give me a monthly ticket! Please read on!) "Matsuo Noguchi just pleaded guilty." In the morning, as soon as Aoyama Hidenobu arrived at the police station, Asai Aya called him into the office to inform him of the news. "Haha, that's expected. You must have met a lawyer." Aoyama Hidenobu's reaction was calm. Asai Aya tilted her head and looked at the unscrupulous subordinate who had supported her last night. She frowned and asked, "So that's why you didn't continue the interrogation last night?" "Yesterday at the arrest site, I saw Noguchi Matsuo call for help." Aoyama Hidenori took a sip of Asai Aya's coffee, ignoring her disgusted look and continued, "There is solid evidence that he is a drug dealer. No one can save him, but in order to avoid implicating themselves, his backers will definitely help us negotiate with him, coerce and bribe him to plead guilty, and let the case end with him and not expand further." Even when Matsuo Noguchi called for help, he didn't really want to be rescued. He just wanted to get more benefits from his backers on the condition of confessing his guilt and accepting punishment. "It's like this again." Asai Aya clenched her fists in annoyance and said through gritted teeth, "Are we always only able to beat dogs but never hurt the dog owner? If the dog dies, the owner can raise another one to help him do evil. It's really abominable!" She felt angry yet powerless. "The reason you can only beat the dog is because you have too little power." Aoyama Hidenobu put down his coffee cup, supported his hands on the table, and came in front of Asai Aya to look her in the eye. "When you have the final say over the police department, you can beat both the dog and the people." This is of course false. If Asai Aya really became the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, she would have become part of those "people" in the process.

Otherwise, there is no way she would be able to climb up, and even if she managed to climb up by chance, she can forget about keeping the position for long. "That day will definitely come." Asai Aya was excited. She took a deep breath and said with a determined look in her eyes. Aoyama Hidenobu could not deny it and looked down at his watch. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." He also has to tell Mrs. Nohara the good news. "Oh, there's one more thing." Asai Aya picked up a document from the desk and handed it over. "Last night's explosion was caused by a homemade bomb. The technicians found fragments of the remote control device after investigating the scene." Aoyama Hidenobu suddenly realized that it was a homemade bomb. No wonder the bomb was so weak and only killed four people in the car. He took the report and glanced at it and said, "The range of this kind of homemade remote-controlled bomb cannot be too far. There is a fifth person at the scene." "That's right." Asai Aya nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "The identities of the four people who were killed in the explosion are currently unknown, but from the fact that they were all armed with guns, it is certain that they were all gangsters. And the mysterious fifth person dared to detonate the bomb under the noses of the police, which shows that he is an even more vicious criminal. We must find him." "I'll take people back to search the section of highway we visited last night later." Aoyama Hidenobu said immediately. Asai Aya nodded, "Be careful." "Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu bowed and left. At the same time, the new head of the Criminal Division, Tomoo Takahashi, had taken office. Takehiko Asai personally sent him to the Criminal Division, which was a great honor for him. After a simple welcome ceremony, Takahashi Tomoe had the information of the criminal division members delivered to his office and sent everyone else to work. "Boom boom boom!" "Come in." Takahashi Tomoo said without raising his head as he looked at the personnel information in his hand. "Section Chief, you are busy." Fujimoto Ryoichi pushed the door open with a cup of coffee in his hand. After closing the door, he said flatteringly, "It's really hard for you to work so hard just after joining the company. Please have a cup of coffee." "You are Fuji..." Takahashi Tomoo remembered that he had just read this person's information, but he couldn't remember his name for the moment. "Fujimoto Ryoichi." Fujimoto Ryoichi put down his coffee and introduced himself respectfully: "Section Chief, I am Fujimoto Ryoichi, the Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Department." "Oh, it's President Fujimoto." Takahashi Tomoe nodded in realization, then took a sip of his coffee and said, "As far as I know, President Fujimoto was a member of the Gun and Ammunition Department before. It seems that he has just been transferred here not long ago. Is he used to the Criminal Division?" "Habit, habit." Fujimoto Ryoichi responded.

Takahashi Tomoo put down his coffee and asked casually, "I heard about Detective Aoyama Hidenobu many times before coming to the Shinjuku Police Station. Since Chief Fujimoto was a colleague of Detective Aoyama before, he must know him well." Fujimoto Ryoichi's expression suddenly became unnatural. "Why, it seems that there is a story between Minister Fujimoto and Vice Minister Aoyama?" Takahashi Tomooto smiled. Fujimoto Ryoichi lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he said, "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by the section chief. I was transferred to the Criminal Division to make room for him. Besides, everyone in the police station knows that I, a toad wanting to eat swan meat, pursued Inspector Asai, but Inspector Asai ignored me and looked at Vice Chief Aoyama differently, so..." He seemed to not want to continue talking afterwards. "I see." Takahashi Tomoo's eyes lit up. He had just arrived at the Shinjuku Police Station and was completely in the dark. He needed to train some confidants to help him deal with Aoyama Hidenobu, and now he was sleepy and was being given a pillow. Fujimoto Ryoichi has a grudge against Aoyama Hidenobu, and now he is taking the initiative to please me, which shows that he is ambitious. Isn't he an excellent target for exploitation? Takahashi Zhiyuan suddenly became approachable and gentle, and said in a gentle tone: "Captain Fujimoto, there is no need to be sad. A good man should have a wife. So, let's have a couple of drinks tonight, and tell me about the specific situation of Shinjuku Police Station." He didn't really want to come to the Shinjuku Police Station to be the head of the Criminal Division. He just wanted to quickly deal with Aoyama Hidenobu and transfer back to the Metropolitan Police Department. The sooner the better. If he delayed too long and the person who replaced him in the Metropolitan Police Department had secured his position, it would be difficult for him to go back. "Hi! I am honored to have been invited by the Section Chief!" Fujimoto nodded excitedly, "Please rest assured, Section Chief, I promise that I will tell you everything I know." "Hahahaha, okay, let's go to work first." "Hi!" After watching Fujimoto Ryoichi leave, Takahashi Tomoe pondered for a moment and called the head of the robber investigation department in. He asked, "I heard that there is something wrong between Head Fujimoto and Deputy Head Aoyama of the gun and ammunition department?" Of course he wouldn't just listen to Fujimoto's one-sided story. "Hey!" The head of the robber investigation department didn't understand why the new section chief was concerned about this gossip, but he still answered honestly: "It's not just unpleasant, it can be said that it's incompatible, and everyone in the department knows this." …………………………On the other side, Aoyama Hidenobu and seven members of the gun and ammunition department returned to the section of the highway where the explosion occurred last night. "Focus on searching the wild areas on both sides of the road. Search them carefully. Report to me immediately if you find anything." Aoyama Hidenobu gave instructions to everyone after getting off the car. "Hi!" The seven people bowed and dispersed. Aoyama Hidenobu stood there smoking. Isn't the benefit of being a leader to be able to direct others to do their work? Otherwise, what's the point of getting promoted? What's more, as a leader, you should give your subordinates more opportunities to show themselves. If the leader does everything himself, how can the subordinates make achievements? "Dingling bell~Dingling bell~" Just then the phone in his car rang. Aoyama Hidenobu put out his cigarette and took out his phone. "Moxi moxi." "My name is Fujimoto Ryoichi, Hidenobu-san. Everything went smoothly. I haven't even asked him to come for a drink yet, but Takahashi Tomoo has already asked me out." "Very good." Aoyama Hidenobu smiled and leaned against the car body to enjoy the cool breeze. "I'll wait for your good news." It is not his character to sit and wait for death, and then counterattack after the enemy reaches his doorstep. He has to strike first when there is an opportunity, and even if there is no opportunity, he has to create one! "Hi!" "Deputy Minister, I have discovered something here!" Inoue, who had been keeping his head down in the field in the distance, suddenly stood up and shouted while waving at Aoyama Hidenobu. "That's it. I'll hang up first." After hearing this, Aoyama Hidenobu hung up the phone and trotted over.

Inoue pointed at a few fairly clear footprints in the field and said, "Look, Vice Minister, these footprints must have been left not long ago, otherwise they wouldn't be so obvious. The grass in front has signs of being pressed, which is very suspicious." "Take a copy of these footprints and take them back for comparison." Aoyama Hidenobu ordered immediately. "Hi!" After searching for about half an hour and finding nothing new, Aoyama Hidenobu announced the disbandment of the team. The others returned to the police station, while he went to Nohara's house on the way. The last time he left, he not only asked for the car keys, but also the keys to Nohara's house, because this way he wouldn't have to trouble his wife to open the door every time. Mrs. Nohara was so moved that she burst into tears. He took out the key to open the courtyard door and the door of the room. Aoyama Hidenobu did not see Mrs. Nohara in the living room, but there was a pile of documents on the coffee table. Just when he thought she was not at home, he heard a noise coming from the kitchen. When Aoyama Hidenobu looked over, he saw Mrs. Nohara with her upper body in the washing machine, her lower body exposed outside, her butt raised high, and no one knew what she was doing. Don't ask him how he recognized that it was Mrs. Nohara's without even seeing her face. Any normal person can recognize a person by looking at their buttocks. Mrs. Nohara was wearing a slim white hip-hugging dress today. When she bent down, her breasts looked fuller and rounder. The hem of her skirt rose slightly, and her legs wrapped in black stockings were almost completely exposed to the air. I think this washing machine still has its charm! Nohara Ito took great pains to finally clean up the scraps of paper stuck on the wall of the washing machine. When she was about to leave, she felt someone hugging her from behind. "Ah! Who are you? Let me go!" She was so frightened that her body trembled. She screamed and struggled hard to retreat, but the man behind her held her tightly around the waist with both hands, making it impossible for her to achieve her goal no matter how hard she tried. The movement of her body moving backwards made it seem like she was retreating and trying to get ahead. Aoyama Hidenobu will naturally not be polite... In just one hour, Mrs. Nohara's mood fluctuated greatly, from panic and fear to relief and shame after learning that the attacker was Aoyama Hidenobu. "I'm here to tell you a good news, ma'am. Matsuo Noguchi has been arrested. Noguchi will be too busy to take care of himself and will no longer have any ideas about Nohara Financial Co., Ltd." Aoyama Hidenobu said with a smile. "Ah! Really?" Nohara Ito was instantly diverted and was overjoyed. She expressed her gratitude repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Mr. Aoyama." "Ah!" Nohara Ito was so embarrassed when she found out she was still naked that she lowered her head and turned around and ran away, "I'm going upstairs to change my clothes. Please do as you please, Mr. Aoyama." After getting dressed, Aoyama Hidenobu came to the living room and sat down, picking up a document on the coffee table and looking through it. It was discovered that the customer information of Nohara Financial Co., Ltd. was divided into three parts: one was for high-quality customers who had already repaid their loans, another was for those who had not yet repaid their loans, and the last was for customers who defaulted on their debts. To his surprise, he actually saw Sato Toshitomi's name among the high-quality customers, which showed that Sato Toshitomi had borrowed 1 million yen in three installments and had paid off the last loan with interest a week ago. These days many people in Japan rely on borrowing to maintain their living expenses, but Sato's status would never reach that point. He has been greedy, and if he is short of money, it will definitely not be just over 100 million. Even borrowing 100 million means that he may have borrowed money from more than just Nohara Financial Co., Ltd.... What's more, the amount borrowed is quite large. Otherwise, you can just borrow from the bank instead of looking for a lending company. Why did he borrow so much money? Where did he get the money to pay off the debt so quickly? "Mr. Aoyama..." At this moment, Nohara Ito came down from upstairs wearing a pink kimono. "Don't make any noise, I'm thinking." (End of this chapter)
