Chapter 7 Madam, please respect yourself, Greedy Xiu Xin (asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month) The Nohara family's decoration style is purely Japanese. After taking off their shoes at the door, Nohara Ito took Aoyama Hidenobu into a Japanese-style room near the backyard. There were ready-made tea sets in the room. It was obviously used specifically for entertaining guests. "Mr. Aoyama, please sit down." Nohara Ito raised her hand slightly to signal, then knelt down opposite him, straightened her body and began to carefully make tea. Aoyama Hidenobu then sat down, looked around the room and sighed, "Mr. Nohara must have often received guests here when he was alive. It is really regrettable and sad that he met with an accident. I hope Madam will express her condolences." After he finished speaking, he bowed his head slightly. "My husband's death was definitely not an accident!" Nohara Ito raised her voice to argue, then she quickly stopped talking after realizing she had lost control. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with red eyes, bit her red lips and said in a choked voice: "I'm sorry, I was rude, but he must have been murdered by someone with ulterior motives. Mr. Aoyama, please make sure to find out the truth and give justice to my late husband." After saying that, she threw away the tea set, put her hands on her thighs, bowed her head and cried softly. A hint of white was faintly visible at her slightly open neckline. "Madam, since you are so sure, you must have someone you suspect," Aoyama Hidenobu said calmly. Nohara Iren raised her head, revealing her tearful face, and sobbed, "It must have been the Noguchi Society. My late husband's company has always assigned debt collection to the Noguchi Society, but as business has grown in the past two years, the Noguchi Society has become more greedy and even attempted to usurp my family's business. I once heard the president of the Noguchi Society, Noguchi Matsuo, threaten my husband on the phone. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?" The Noguchi-kai is a secondary organization under the Inagawa-kai, one of the largest gangs in Japan. Its president, Matsuo Noguchi, is a core member of the Sumiyoshi-kai and has a violent temperament. The structure of Japanese gangs is like a pyramid scheme. The big gangs are equivalent to the head office, with many second-level and third-level organizations as subsidiaries. The leaders of these subsidiaries will hold positions in the head office.

"Noguchi Matsuo? I'll remember that." Aoyama Hidenobu nodded slightly to indicate that he would investigate, and then asked, "Did Mr. Nohara meet anyone before the accident, or was he emotionally abnormal?" "No." Nohara Yiren shook her head and said softly, "When he left in the morning, he was no different from usual. Because he often has social events, I didn't care that he didn't come back that night. I didn't expect..." Nohara Iren covered her mouth and tears came before she could speak. "Then does Mr. Nohara know Detective Hiroshi Yamamoto from our Criminal Division?" Aoyama Hidenobu asked again. Yamamoto Hiroshi showed signs of lying, which forced him to boldly suspect whether he had killed Nohara Atsushi. After all, investigating a case is also a process of elimination, boldly speculating on every possibility and then eliminating them one by one. "Yamamoto Hiroshi?" Nohara Iren was startled, her face showing a thoughtful look, and she slowly shook her head, "No, at least I haven't heard him mention this name. Of course, he rarely tells me about what's happening outside. Maybe he knows someone. After all, doing the lending business is about surviving in the cracks, and you have to interact with people from both the black and white worlds." "Haha, surviving in the cracks? Madam, you are really too modest." Aoyama Hidenobu took a sip from the teacup in front of him and said meaningfully: "This villa is not cheap, Mr. Nohara must have made a lot of money!" "This..." Nohara Iren suddenly became nervous, pursing her red lips and fidgeting. She stared at Aoyama Hidenori for a while, then turned around and opened a drawer beside her. She took out a thick stack of Japanese yen from it, lowered her head and presented it with both hands, stuttering, "Mr. Aoyama, you have worked hard for my late husband's case. I would like to ask you to accept this as a small token of your gratitude. Please!" Obviously, Nohara Atsushi didn't let her participate in business matters when he was alive, otherwise she wouldn't be so awkward in offering bribes now. But since she can do this, it means she wants to try to continue running the family business. "Bang!" Aoyama Hidenobu threw the money away. The scattered banknotes were immediately scattered everywhere. Nohara Yiren looked up in surprise, her eyes slightly dazed and frightened, and she stood there at a loss as to what to do. "Baka!" Aoyama Hidenobu cursed and slammed the table, shouting angrily, "What are you doing? I saw that you were a woman whose husband had just died and you were alone, and I talked to you out of sympathy! But you want to bribe me?" "Who do you think I am? You are not only humiliating me! You are also humiliating the laws of the Great Japanese Nation! You are trampling on my dignity as a Japanese police officer! Please forgive Qingshan for being rude, and goodbye." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and was about to leave. "Mr. Aoyama!" Nohara Ito panicked instantly and subconsciously stood up and grabbed his hand. Aoyama Hidenobu stopped, turned his head and looked at her hand, his face expressionless, "Madam, please respect yourself." "I'm... sorry." Nohara Ito quickly let go of her hand as if she was scalded, took a step back and bowed, and said with shame and embarrassment on her face: "I'm sorry, I never meant to humiliate you, I... I..." She couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. She was about to cry, tears flashing in her eyes. She simply knelt down, lowered her head, put her hands on the ground, and raised her butt high. "Private Marseille! Please forgive me."

This posture made her plump peaches fill out her kimono, making her body curves even more graceful. "Madam's apology is insincere." Aoyama Hidenobu stared down at her and said lightly, "Don't you know that you have to show your breasts when you apologize?" "Ah?" Nohara Yiren raised her head in confusion and shock, her face as red as a boiled shrimp. Maybe it’s because of different customs. There's no need to show your love when apologizing in their hometown! "I was just kidding. Madam, please rest assured. I don't know how many policemen accept bribes, but I am different from them! Even if I didn't take the money, I would do my best to find out the truth about your husband's death." Aoyama Hidenobu said with a righteous look on his face. After he finished speaking, he took out a business card and placed it on the table. He bowed solemnly and said, "I'll take my leave first. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to contact me. Don't be polite. Please don't encourage any bad attitudes." After saying that, he left without looking back. Nohara Ito stared blankly at Aoyama Hidenobu's back as it disappeared from her sight, and her heart was shocked. Ever since her husband started running a loan company, the police and officials who came and went had been asking for money from their family. This is the most upright policeman she has ever seen. So much money was placed in front of him just now, and he was not moved at all even when it was given to him for free. He is indeed different from others. Aoyama Hidenobu is certainly different from others. What’s the point of being that little bit greedy? If you are greedy, then you must be extremely greedy! Others wanted to take eggs from the chicken of Nohara Financial Corporation, but he wanted to take the chicken for himself. He wanted both the chicken and the eggs. The people involved in the lending company are very complicated. Once Nohara Atsushi dies, people like the Noguchi Society, who have long been eyeing Nohara Financial Co., Ltd., will definitely not remain indifferent. Judging from Nohara Ito's reactions just now, although she is willing to continue running the company and protect the inheritance left by her husband, her experience is obviously not enough to deal with the troubles that are about to follow. When she is forced into a corner and sees the evil in people's hearts, she will naturally think of seeking help from the kind, just and non-greedy Officer Hidenobu Aoyama. Of course, even if she didn't ask for help, Aoyama Hidenobu would take the initiative to appear in front of her and lend a helping hand. And then it's time for him to show his fangs. After leaving the Nohara family, Aoyama Hidenobu looked back at the villa and smiled, with two rows of neat and white teeth. "Didi-di-di-di-di~" The pager on my waist suddenly rang. When he took it down, he saw that it was Asai Aya calling him. Aoyama Hidenobu found a nearby phone booth and called her back, "Inspector Asai, this is Aoyama." "Mr. Aoyama, I got the surveillance video of Paradise Karaoke from three days ago. I found something. Is it finished on your end?" Asai Aya's tone sounded a little excited. "It's over. Let's meet up at the police station." "Hi!" (End of this chapter)
