Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 305: In the name of justice, everyone is a villain!

The police always represent law and justice. When those evil people are arrested by them, no matter how much they trample on the law in their daily lives, they seem to suddenly realize their citizenship status and think that they will be protected by the law.

It is normal to speak in a pretentious manner when facing police questioning. Some people even demand the "right to remain silent" without understanding the situation.

Naive.

For this type of guy, the great memory recovery technique is most suitable for them. Give him two big punches and see if he still gets dizzy.

When facing people like Kawashima Hideo, Yingsheng didn't even bother to pretend to be a police officer, and directly acted like a thug robbing thugs, and everything went smoothly.

Leaving the secret passage in the bedroom, Yingsheng roughly flipped through the account book in his hand and beckoned to Hatake at the door.

"The ins and outs are quite detailed. Come and see if there are any other people on this island."

Qi Mu hurried over, took the account book with both hands and looked at it carefully.

Kawashima Hideo who was behind also came out of the secret passage. When he saw the police uniform on Hatake, his face turned pale immediately, and then his face twisted and he gritted his teeth.

"Violent law enforcement! I want to file a complaint against you!"

Yingsheng glanced at him indifferently and winked at Asai Chengmi behind him.

Asai Narimi immediately used the tape in his hand to seal Kawashima Hideo's mouth again, pointed his fingers at the broken ribs on his right chest, and slowly pressed down with force.

Hideo Kawashima was back to the state of wanting to scream but unable to do so, with the blood vessels on his face bulging as if he had been injected with veterinary hormones.

There was a gleam of surprise in Asai Narimi's eyes, and he took out a plate of sewing needles from his pocket that he had put in there at some point.

Hatake saw the action from the corner of his eye, shuddered all over, and quickly lowered his head even lower.

Yingsheng felt that Asai Narumi might be about to awaken some strange habit, so he waved his hand and asked her to go play aside.

Soon, Hatake finished flipping through the account book and told Yingsheng that three of the people on the list were from the main island.

They are all secondary dealers, not retail traders, and the places where they purchase bulk goods are in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, not the main island.

"What about Ken Nishimoto?" asked Yingsheng.

Asai Narimi tore off the tape on Kawashima Hideo's mouth in time. When the big capitalist on the island knew where the problem lay, he couldn't help but curse loudly.

"That bastard Nishimoto Ken! Did he drink so much that his brain got damaged? I clearly warned him not to spread the goods on the island!"

After the death of Isamu Kameyama three years ago, Ken Nishimoto was in a very bad mental state. Kawashima Hideo and Kuroiwa Tatsuji no longer took him to do business together, but instead introduced a newcomer, Kazuaki Hirata, who had sales channels in Tokyo.

But Ken Nishimoto didn't work. He spent his days drinking and doing nothing. After he lost his drug trafficking business, he became financially stretched.

It is extremely difficult for people who have made quick money to get down to earth.

Especially since Ken Nishimoto used to live a life of debauchery, and that kind of extravagance had long since corrupted his character.

So not long after, he went back to find his former accomplice again, begging for mercy.

He knew too many secrets, and Kawashima Hideo and the others couldn't just leave him alone, so they occasionally gave him some loose goods and told him to distribute them outside the island and not to get himself into trouble.

But we cannot expect a person who drinks all day and is in a state of mental depression for a long time to be rational.

As a result, things turned out like this.

After hearing this, Yingsheng shook his head in disappointment. How could these guys make such low-level mistakes? It really brought down the reputation of their criminal world.

You were able to wipe out Keiji Aso's entire family back then, so why are you so soft-hearted now when facing Ken Nishimoto, who is obviously capable of doing bad things?
The police on the island are so incompetent and Ken Nishimoto himself is an alcoholic, so wouldn't it be a perfect solution if they just got him drunk and threw him on the beach to drown him?
correct.

Thinking of Keiji Aso, Yingsheng said, "Mr. Kawashima, the person who asked me to come to the island to investigate this matter is Keiji Aso's bloodline. When he died, he had a weak son who was hospitalized in Tokyo. Do you have anything to say about this? Confess and you will be treated leniently."

Hideo Kawashima's expression changed slightly again, and he was about to deny it subconsciously.

In Japan, there is a huge difference in sentencing standards for drug trafficking and intentional homicide. Without considering aggravating circumstances, one is generally less than seven years and the other is less than ten years.

Moreover, arson is definitely a despicable murder and is a serious threat to society. The circumstances are aggravated and the sentence is at least ten years in prison. If multiple crimes are punished together, life imprisonment is not impossible.

But before he opened his mouth, he heard Yingsheng's voice: "Blood debts must be paid with blood, it has been like this since ancient times. Three people from the Aso family died, and at least three people from your group of drug dealers must die. Will you be among them? Think about it yourself."

"!!!"

Hideo Kawashima's pupils trembled and he immediately looked up at Hatake.

Someone is threatening the lives and safety of citizens in front of you, police officer. Please say something quickly!

Hatake tilted his head and looked out the window. Oh my, the sunset was so beautiful.

Hideo Kawashima's blood ran cold at once. Oh no, he had encountered a corrupt policeman.

When he saw Asai Narimi looking at him with a gloomy gaze and the sewing needle in his hand flashing a sharp cold light, his body immediately trembled again and he shrank his head back.

"Twelve years ago, Aso was our companion..."

Being at the mercy of others, Hideo Kawashima had no choice but to tell the truth.

Going to jail at least gives you a chance to survive, but being lynched by these lawless thugs will cost you at least half your life.

In the past, Keiji Aso used the opportunity of performing abroad to import goods for Kawashima Hideo and others, who then distributed them. This relationship lasted for a long time.

Later, after Keiji Aso achieved success in the field of piano, he was no longer willing to work in this field. He repeatedly rejected requests from people like Kawashima Hideo and advised them to change their careers.

If he simply withdrew, although Kawashima Hideo and others would be unwilling, they would have no choice but to turn around and look for other partners.

However, looking at Keiji Aso's appearance, it seems that he really wants to get out of trouble and become a good person.

In order to prevent him from turning himself in and implicating them in the future, Guishan Yong suggested that they should strike first.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken agreed with this. Although Kawashima Hideo was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree under the circumstances.

Set fire and block the door.

No one from the Aso family was able to escape.

Unable to bear watching his wife and daughter slowly burn to death in the flames, Keiji Aso stabbed them to death with a knife and played the piano in the flames until the flames completely consumed him.

The above is what Hideo Kawashima said happened twelve years ago.

Anyone could tell that he was glorifying himself in it, but Hotaroo and Hatake naturally didn't care about it at all. As for Asai Narimi, her attention was more on another side.

Did Dad also sell drugs back then?

Was the auspicious life you enjoyed as a child also watered by the tears of countless people?
His heart ached slightly, and the hatred and murderous intent towards the murderer of his father disappeared in an instant.

What right do I have to seek revenge? However, my mother and sister are innocent, so Asai Narimi did not give in completely.

Besides, cracking down on drug dealers is only natural!
Yingsheng had been paying attention to Asai Narimi. Seeing her eyes waver for a moment and then become firm again, he turned to look at Kawashima Hideo.

"When you were blocking the door, you were always outside the fire. Didn't other people on the island come over to put out the fire? Weren't you discovered?"

"This……"

Kawashima Hideo found that he had never thought about this problem before, and thought for a few breaths: "Aso Keiji's villa was built alone on the mountain, and the fire spread very quickly. Maybe others didn't have time to rush over at first, and when they came later, we were mixed in with the crowd."

Hotaru frowned slightly: "People on the island said that they saw Keiji Aso playing the piano while being burned by flames. Was that the time?"

Kawashima Hideo nodded: "Yes, many people saw it at that time."

"That's it..."

Yingsheng sighed softly: "If this is true, please forgive me, my client who is far away. I think Keiji Aso was not mentally normal at that time.

The fact that his figure could be seen instead of being completely obscured by the fire showed that the fire was not very severe at that distance.

At that time, other people on the island had already arrived, and it was impossible for the drug dealers to kill him in front of everyone, and he had every chance to escape from the fire.

In hindsight, he probably had given up on living and was trying to atone for his past sins.”

And he might also be taking drugs. Otherwise, who in their right mind would do such a thing as stabbing his wife and daughter to death and then setting himself on fire?
He had some desire to survive, but he gave up before the last moment. What a coward.

and also.

Since you can still play the piano in the end, it means you still have the strength.

Even if you want to die, is it difficult to shout outside and say that the murderer is so-and-so and that they are drug dealers?
baffling.

With Asai Narimi here, Yingsheng didn't really want to say these things, but seeing Asai Narimi's gloomy eyes, he thought about it and decided to tell it all.

At the end, he added: "There is only one conclusion, that is, taking drugs will damage the brain."

Seeing a flash of anger in Asai Narimi's eyes, Yingsheng smiled and said, "As for the others, they gave up on themselves, didn't consider their families at all, and left a riddle music score out of self-admiration, which almost led their son to go astray.

Oh, those are just details.

When I go back, I will definitely tell the client that his father is not a good person either and is not worth his constant worry.

His other two family members are truly innocent, but the murderer is definitely not just Kawashima Hideo and others, but also Aso Keiji himself.

Considering their previous identities, the real murderer is the Moon Shadow Island drug trafficking gang.

It's abstract interests and drugs, not an individual.

Miss Chengshi, what do you think? "

Asai Narimi was silent for a long time, so long that both Hatake and Kawashima Hideo noticed something was wrong.

Finally, she nodded slowly, her voice dry.

"You are right, Mr. Shuiyue."

Hotaru smiled slightly and tilted his head to look at Hatake.

"Remember to report your confused old colleague. He didn't patrol the island in time, didn't put out the fire in time, didn't save people in time, and even hindered others from rescuing people. He found obvious suspicious points but didn't investigate. You suspect he is related to the drug gang, understand?"

Hatake was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded excitedly.

"understand!"

Hatake was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the old man who did nothing was able to get a share of the profits in this incident, but there was nothing he could do.

But if I use this method now and take him down, all the credit will be mine!

Seeing that the corners of Hatake's mouth were raised harder than AK's, Yingsheng frowned slightly: "As a policeman, would you be happy to find that there are termites in the police force?"

Hatake was stunned again, then immediately his face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "I am deeply saddened by my discovery, but for the purity of the police force, I have to report him."

"Heh, not bad."

Seeing Asai Narimi and Kawashima Hideo looking at him with unbelievable eyes, Yingsheng spread his hands and said, "Was what I just said a lie? If it weren't for his greed, would drug dealers on the island be so rampant? Would Aso's family be wiped out?
Mr. Kawashima, do you give him gifts during festivals?

Thank you for turning a blind eye."

Kawashima Hideo nodded quickly: "Mr. Shuiyue is very perceptive, he is indeed our protective umbrella!"

Having said that, even if there was nothing wrong with that old guy, there must be something wrong with him now.

And he certainly had problems.

The biggest problem is not doing your job and being incompetent!

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Mr. Kawashima is very cooperative, which is good. Officer Hatake is determined to follow the clues and solve a big case. If you can make a significant contribution, there is a good chance that your sentence will be reduced or even suspended."

Kawashima Hideo showed ecstasy: "I will absolutely cooperate with your arrangement!"

Yingsheng threw his phone back: "Now, contact your three subordinates and ask them to come to the villa."

Twenty minutes later, Hotaru tied up two more people and handed them over to Asai Narimi for interrogation, while he called Megure Juzo.

"Officer Megure, my name is Mizuki. I have a big case to trouble you with, involving a drug trafficking network. The first requirement is confidentiality."

There is a sub-distributor who is currently in Tokyo. In order to prevent him from hiding after hearing about any news on the island, we must of course act together.

After hanging up the phone, Yingsheng turned to look at Hatake: "Tokyo will definitely contact you later. If you behave better, you will be easily transferred to the Criminal Division later."

Hatake hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and Yingsheng taught him some more words of conversation, and then he received a call from Xiaolan.

"Suigetsu-kun, Miss Lingzi, the daughter of Kuroiwa Tatsuji, helped us find the account book in his house, but Kuroiwa Tatsuji himself was very uncooperative." Xiaolan hesitated for two seconds, "I'm not very skilled in this area. Um, do I need to use truth serum?"

"There's no need to do that to a guy like this. Xiaolan, if you don't have the heart to do it, just leave it to the professional torturer, Miss."

Yingsheng looked back and saw a few spots of blood on Asai Narimi's white coat, and excitement was hidden on his handsome face.

"Interrogating Miss Guan?" Xiaolan was puzzled.

"Wait a minute, we'll be right there."
