In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 180 The Tragedy of Ryoichi, Shinichi Who Tries to Win over Honest People
It's already dark outside.

There was no light in the room and it was pitch dark.

With tears still on his face, Fujimoto Ryoichi has calmed down after his initial grief. He analyzes today's events with a clear mind and is certain that the people who came to kill him are the same people who killed his parents.

Then we can rule out the suspicion that the killer was sent by Takehiko Asai, because if Takehiko Asai wanted to silence him, he could just kill him, there was no need to kill his parents.

The other party's behavior seems more like revenge.

Therefore, Fujimoto Ryoichi suspected Ihara Aiko's father, Ihara Tsuru. Perhaps he found out that he was the murderer of his daughter, so he arranged for people to kill the whole family.

Those who kill will always be killed.

He could understand, and was even prepared for the other party's revenge, but he never expected that he would be so cruel as to attack his family members. He couldn't tolerate it!
Even if this policeman resigns, even if he has to flee for half his life, he will even be sentenced to death tomorrow.

He must also make his enemies pay with blood!
Fujimoto Ryoichi stood up and turned on the light, and the room suddenly became as bright as day. He squinted his eyes to adjust, and then he found a note on the coffee table.

He went forward and picked up the note, which read: Even if you can escape for a while, you can't escape forever! If you kill my child, I will kill your whole family!
The whole person suddenly stood on the spot.

Not Ihara Tsuru.

He is the father of the child in Ihara Aiko's belly!
Fujimoto Ryoichi clutched the note tightly, his chest heaving violently, his eyes red as if they were about to burst, and he turned around and walked out.

He was going back to his residence to get his gun.

Then he went to find Takehiko Asai, forced him to tell him who the father of the child was, and then killed him to avenge himself.

Fujimoto Ryoichi did not contact Aoyama Hidenobu because he had to avenge this grudge personally, and the identity of his enemy must be no simple person, and he did not want to implicate the other party.

The killer probably didn't expect that he would dare to return to his residence, so he didn't ambush him. He opened the safe in the bedroom, and in addition to the money, there was a pistol, three fully loaded magazines and a pile of bullets.

He took all the bullets with him, then drove straight to Asai's house and rang the doorbell.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

"Moshimoshi? Who are you looking for?"

"Inspector, Fujimoto Ryoichi is here to visit you."

After a while, the door to the backyard opened. After Fujimoto Ryoichi entered, he saw that it was Asai Aya who opened the door for him. He bowed slightly and said, "Superintendent, I'm here to see Superintendent Masaru."

"Please follow me." Asai Aya was surprised when she heard this, because the other party was her subordinate. She thought he wanted to see her for something.

Fujimoto Ryoichi followed Asai Aya into the living room. Asai Aya sat down and said to Asai Takehiko on the sofa, "Dad, I'm looking for you."

Takehiko Asai turned his head and looked at Ryoichi Fujimoto.

Fujimoto bowed to him.

"Come with me." Takehiko Asai stared at him for a while, then said this and went upstairs.

Fujimoto Ryoichi followed him into the study, closed the door, and said, "Superintendent, please tell me whose child is in Ihara Aiko's belly."

He didn't beat around the bush because he couldn't wait.

"Why are you asking me this? This matter has nothing to do with you!" Asai Takehiko's face suddenly changed, and then he frowned and asked: "How do you know her name is Ihara Aiko? Did you look through her ID? Didn't I tell you to kill her and leave!"

"I was assassinated this afternoon. My parents have been killed. The murderer left a note saying that he was avenging his children. Police officer, do you still think this has nothing to do with me?" asked Fujimoto Ryoichi.

Asai Takehiko's expression froze. He was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "Liang Yi, I'll get you some money. Go away. The farther you go, the better."

At this moment he meant what he said.

"Da!" The next second, the muzzle of the gun was pressed against Takehiko Asai's forehead. Fujimoto Ryoichi roared in a ferocious voice, "I don't want to leave! I want revenge! My parents are dead, they were killed because of me!"

"Since that bastard could find me, couldn't he find out that it was you who asked me to do it? But why did he only dare to attack me? Isn't it because I am a weakling? Even if I die, I will make him bleed!"

He knew that the law could not punish such people, and blood revenge was the only option.

"Ryoichi, calm down. Not only will you fail to get revenge, but you will also get yourself into trouble. Just let everything end." Takehiko Asai advised seriously.

"I want to end his life!" Fujimoto Ryoichi's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, and his temples were bulging. "Officer Asai, don't challenge my patience. Tell me who it is, or I will really shoot, not only you, but also your family. I don't care about anything now."

His eyes were extremely serious and his hand was already on the trigger. I was really afraid that he might accidentally touch it.

"Don't! Calm down, Ryoichi, don't be impulsive!" Asai Takehiko's face changed and he quickly said a few words to comfort her. His expression was uncertain. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Kitano Kenbumi, the son of Kitano Harayuki, the Vice Minister of Labor, the child is his."

"What is going on?" Fujimoto Ryoichi now wants to figure out why he wanted to kill Ihara Aiko.

Asai Takehiko exhaled, "Kitano Kenbumi cheated on Ihara Aiko during their marriage and made her pregnant. Ihara Aiko didn't want to listen to Ihara Tsuru and have an abortion. She insisted on giving birth to Kitano Kenbumi's child for the sake of love."

"Kitano Kenbum kept this a secret from his family. His wife had a strong background, so it was impossible for her to divorce and marry Ihara Aiko. This meant that Ihara Aiko could only be his mistress and give birth to an illegitimate child. Ihara Tsuru could not tolerate his family enduring such humiliation, so he wanted to kill his own daughter. It was that simple."

The Ihara family and the Asai family have a very close relationship.

Otherwise, Ihara Tsuru would not have chosen him to do this, and he would not be willing to do this for her.

"Crazy!" Fujimoto Ryoichi couldn't believe it. No wonder Aiko Ihara, the daughter of Ihara Tsuru, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, was killed without causing any disturbance.

It turns out that the real murderer was Ihara Tsuru himself. Just for the sake of his family's reputation, he had his own daughter and unborn grandson killed. How cruel.

Asai Takehiko said: "You don't understand. For these big families with a strong foundation, family honor is always above everything else. What they lack the least is children. A daughter who is disobedient and unwilling to protect the family's reputation is the enemy of the family."

If Ihara Tsuru's daughter gave birth to an illegitimate child for Kitano Kenbum without any name or status, would Ihara Tsuru still have shame if the news got out? Would the Ihara family still have shame?
"He would rather kill his own daughter, why didn't he take revenge on Kitano Kenbumi?" Fujimoto Ryoichi asked. Asai Takehiko did not answer this question.

Fujimoto Ryoichi, however, revealed the truth he thought he had guessed, and sarcastically said, "Is it because the Kitano family is stronger than the Ihara family? That's really ridiculous."

Takehiko Asai still has not given any comment.

"Thank you, Officer Asai." Fujimoto Ryoichi slowly stepped back and bowed to the door.

Asai Takehiko looked at him with complicated eyes, and finally advised, "Just stop, Ryoichi."

Fujimoto Ryoichi shook his head and turned away.

Asai Takehiko walked to the window, looked down at Fujimoto Ryoichi as he walked out of his house, sighed quietly and said to himself: "Ryoichi, aren't you just a tool for Ihara Tsuru to take revenge on Kitano Kenbum?"

From the very beginning, Fujimoto Ryoichi was destined to end up in tragedy. The reason why Kitano Kenfumi found him was because Ihara Tsuru deliberately had someone leak the information.

Ihara Tsuru guessed that Kitano Kenfumi would definitely take action against Fujimoto Ryoichi to avenge his unborn child.

He knew very well that the flames of revenge of a low-level person like Fujimoto Ryoichi would be more intense and direct, so by telling him about Kitano Kenfumi's existence through Takehiko Asai, he would naturally be able to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

After killing someone, the knife would naturally be left to fend for itself. So after Aoyama Hidenobu and Asai Aya got together, Asai Takehiko chose someone else to do this, as he didn't want his son-in-law to be involved.

Is he harming people?
No doubt, yes.

After all, being in a high position, the upper class society looks glamorous on the surface, but the oppression behind the scenes is even more cruel than that of the lower class. Who has not had blood on his hands? Who has not done a few things that benefit oneself but harm others?

But is Ryoichi Fujimoto innocent?
He is not innocent either, because it was a choice he made for his own future and it was not forced.

What's more tragic is that an ordinary person without any background can only take risks and hope for the help of big shots if he wants to break certain shackles.

If you are lucky, you can soar to the sky, but if you are unlucky, you will be like Fujimoto Ryoichi, who is being plotted against without knowing it.

...............................

Inspector Hattori has only one son, Hattori Aojaku, who is 20 years old and studies fine arts at Tokyo University of the Arts. Thanks to the strict family tradition, he has been honest and even a little cowardly since he was a child.

If he didn't say it himself, almost no one around him would have thought that he was the son of an official.

He has an ordinary appearance, an ordinary personality, average academic performance, and no special skills. He is the kind of person that when people want to praise him, they can only praise him for being honest.

Such an honest person naturally has never been in love.

So now he was a little nervous because there was a cute, hot female classmate wearing a black silk short skirt standing behind him, staring at him while he was drawing a picture.

Finally, he managed to finish the painting despite the pressure.

"Wow! Si Guoyi! You are really amazing, your painting is so good." The girl behind him said in a clear voice with admiration on her face, and she said to herself, "No wonder you are still painting alone in the studio so late at night, it must be very hard to practice like this."

Hattori Aoja felt his heartbeat quicken, his face turned red uncontrollably, he stood up, and said a little stiffly: "No... not that good anymore."

This was the first time he was praised by a girl.

"Hey, classmate is not confident, but he is actually very good." The girl poked her lips with her slender jade finger, blinked her eyes, stretched out a hand and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Aoi Chou."

"Hi! My name is Hattori Aoja." Hattori Aoja stretched out his hand nervously, but did not dare to shake hands.

"Puchi~" Aoi Chou smiled and took the other person's hand. "Hattori-kun, can you teach me how to draw when you have time? I'm in the dance department, but I also like art. Please don't refuse."

"Hey! Of course no problem!" Feeling the cool and delicate touch coming from the palm of his hand, Hattori Aoja almost floated up. He would nod and agree to whatever the other party said.

Aoi Die pulled her hand back, "Then it's settled."

"Hi!" Hattori Aoja was a little reluctant to leave.

"Hehe, see you tomorrow then." Aoi Die waved and turned to leave. Halfway through her walk, she suddenly turned back and smiled and said, "You can call me Die-chan from now on."

Fortunately, she didn’t say: You can call me Die from now on.

"Hi! Chou-chan!" Inspector Hattori bowed.

After watching the hem of the other person's skirt disappear from his sight, he stood up, raised the hand that had just held Aoi Chou's, and twisted his fingertips, feeling still unsatisfied.

He felt like he might be in love.

Is this what the seniors meant by fate?
After walking out of the classroom, Aoi Chou took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed a number.

"This guy is too stupid, dull and easy to deal with. In three to five days at most, I will be able to make him be obsessed with me and he will do whatever I tell him to do."

She curled her lips, she looked down upon this kind of man the most, he would never get her turn even when she was lying down.

"Very good, report to me at any time." Shinichi Nakamura on the other end smiled and said lightly.

Inspector Hattori himself looks like a hedgehog.

So he could only choose to attack in a roundabout way.

If anyone is to blame, blame Inspector Hattori for bringing up his son to be too honest, which is the weakest point of the Hattori family.
