In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 234 Trouble! I don't need people like this under my command

Aso Kubo just suddenly lost his composure.

But he quickly calmed down after hanging up the phone.

Since the other party has the leverage over me, they will definitely not stop at blackmailing me once. If I really give you money the first time, they will blackmail me the second time and will definitely squeeze me dry and force me into a dead end step by step.

So this money must never be given.

But this matter must be resolved.

He thought of asking the Hikokawa family for help. After all, the Hikokawa family had just accepted a group of officials like him who had originally been associated with Yokoyama Ryohei, and they needed to stabilize people's hearts.

Even if it is to show sincerity, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch, otherwise it will be disheartening.

After having this idea, Aso Kubo did not go to his workplace and drove directly to Hikokawa's house.

When he arrived at the destination and was led into the living room by the nanny, he was stunned. Juro Hikokawa was eating breakfast slowly in the restaurant alone, while four acquaintances he knew were sitting nervously on the sofa in the living room.

There are also circles of officials who follow Ryohei Yokoyama.

These low-level officials at the level of section chiefs and department heads form a circle and often get together with each other.

When the four people saw him, they nodded slightly to him as a greeting and made room for him.

Aso Kubo did not dare to disturb Hikokawa Juro's meal. Although he was anxious, he still sat on the sofa and waited. At the same time, he was very curious about why these four guys appeared here.
Did he come here to give gifts and beg for an official position? Or was he summoned?

Finally, Hikokawa Juro put down his bowl and chopsticks, rinsed his mouth, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, "Who among you five will speak first?"

Normally, such low-level officials could not even enter his house, but the first person who came was very anxious. He had just received the inheritance of Yokoyama Ryohei, so he met the other party with the idea of buying a horse's bones for a large sum of money. However, people came one after another afterwards, which made him realize that something was wrong.

"I... I'll go first!" A middle-aged man from the Mediterranean quickly raised his hand and stood up. He glanced at the other four people and said with a stiff upper lip: "Sir, I received a blackmail call this morning. The other party accurately stated the profits I made from Takefuji and asked me to pay 10 million US dollars. I am not afraid to pay, but I am afraid that it will be useless even if I pay. I beg you to help me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down and performed a solemn ceremony, with his forehead touching the ground, looking extremely respectful.

"Ah! You...you received a call too?"

"Ten million dollars too? Me too!"

"It's also Takefuji..."

When Aso, Kubo and the other three heard this, they were immediately surprised. They didn't even care that Hikokawa Juro was in front of them, and they talked rudely to each other.

"Quiet." Hikokawa Juro frowned and said lightly, but his face looked a little solemn.

It is definitely not a coincidence that evidence of the five people accepting bribes from Takefuji is in their possession.

The reason why Juro Hikokawa was able to successfully take over these people was because of the Takefuji secret account in his hand, but the current situation shows that someone else is in control of this secret account book.

If the secret accounts were leaked on a large scale, the officials involved would definitely be purged, which would not only cause political turmoil, but also make the secret accounts in his hands worthless. If he could not control these official positions to serve the Hikokawa family, then it would be tantamount to overthrowing Yokoyama Ryohei in vain, which would be purely anti-corruption.

How is this possible?

At this point, this is no longer a matter involving Aso, Kubo and the other five, but a matter involving the Hikokawa family.

Of course, that's not the way to say it.

Hikokawa Juro exhaled, slowly swept his eyes over the five people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are members of the Hikokawa family and work for the Hikokawa family, I have the obligation to guarantee your interests. Even though you have not achieved anything yet, I will not stand idly by."

"Hi! Thank you, sir. I am willing to go through fire and water for you. I will always be loyal to you!"

"Your Excellency's great kindness, I will never forget it!"

The five people were ecstatic and excited. They thanked Hikokawa Juro profusely and were almost moved to tears.

It feels good to have a big boss to back you up.

"I hope you are not just talking." Hikokawa Juro was calm and waved his hand. "Okay, as long as the Hikokawa family is not defeated, the sky will not fall. Now it's working time, go back to work, and be worthy of the citizens' taxes. I will handle this matter, and I will contact you again if I need your cooperation."

He planned to hand the matter over to Aoyama Hidenobu.

In his opinion, Aoyama Hidenobu is a person who specializes in doing these things, handling troubles for Hikokawa Kentomo and clearing the way for him to ascend to a high position.

It just so happens that Aoyama Hidenobu will be attending the banquet tonight as one of the main characters, and I will have a detailed talk with him in person then.

"Hi! I'm leaving now!"

The five of them bowed in unison.

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

At the same time, Metropolitan Police Department.

Search the office of the Section 1 Chief.

"Fujiwara-kun, what's wrong with this person?"

Aoyama Hidenobu, with an unhappy look on his face, took a report from the Inspector and threw it in front of Fujiwara Takuhiro.

The ombudsman, literally speaking, is responsible for supervising police enforcement and is called the police among the police.

They are mainly responsible to the Public Security Commission. Each regional police station has a general affairs inspection department, while the Metropolitan Police Department and prefectural police headquarters have inspectors.

Every public sector in Japan has an inspector.

Fujiwara Takuhiro looked down and saw that the protagonist in the report was Ken Nobi, a patrol chief who was newly appointed after Shinichi Nakamura was promoted to deputy chief of police. This person was indeed a troublesome thorn.

But it was indeed a skill, and he used it with ease.

Fujiwara Takuhiro forced a smile and said, "Inspector, Nobi-kun is a little careless, but his ability to investigate cases is not bad. We shouldn't deny his ability because of these minor details, right?"

Ken Nobikura had just been transferred here, but he had been repeatedly complained about for violating law enforcement regulations, and had been caught by inspectors for unkempt appearance, spitting, and other behaviors.

This time, someone anonymously complained that he disregarded orders from his superiors and acted on his own. Although the suspect was finally caught, his teammates were injured in the process.

"I don't need this kind of people under my command. No matter how capable he is, if he is disobedient, he shouldn't be a policeman. Let him apply for a transfer on his own initiative." Aoyama Hidenobu knocked on the table and said without allowing any room for rebuttal.

Illegal enforcement is not a problem, who doesn’t violate the rules these days? But if someone complains about illegal enforcement, that is a problem, and he as a leader should be held accountable.

What made him even more annoyed was that the other party disobeyed the orders of his superiors during the operation. Yes, he finally caught the suspect, but his companions were also injured, and if such a person stayed in the team, it would affect the collective atmosphere.

Many protagonists in movies are like this, but that is required by the plot, and Aoyama Hidenobu doesn't need it.

The existence of such people will only make their superiors question their leadership ability and condone their subordinates to make repeated mistakes.

So what is the purpose of having personality in the disciplined forces?
Wouldn't it be nice to be an artist?

Fujiwara Takuhiro's face changed, and he wanted to speak for Nobita Ken, "Superintendent, give him one last chance. I promise you will supervise..."

"What? Were you infected by him? Are you going to disobey your superior's orders too?" Aoyama Hidenobu raised his hand to interrupt him, leaning back with a half-smile on his face.

Fujiwara Takuhiro immediately fell silent and bowed to apologize.

"My subordinates dare not!"

Aoyama Hidenobu stood up, walked around the desk and came to Fujiwara Takuhiro, put his hand on his shoulder and said earnestly: "Fujiwara-kun, I am doing this for your own good. Such a person is self-righteous and has no regard for police discipline. He thinks that other people are useless and will only hinder him. He may cause a disaster at any time. I don't want you to be implicated by him."

"If it wasn't for your sake, I wouldn't have asked him to apply for a transfer, but I would have fired him. Got it? Go to work."

Aoyama Hidenobu withdrew his hand and turned to face him.

"Hi!" Fujiwara Takuhiro bowed and left.

After he returned to the office, he called Nobita Ken over and stared at him without saying anything for a long time.

"Inspector, what's going on? You keep looking at me like this, and it makes me feel a little scared."

Nobita Ken shuddered. He looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with long hair, an unkempt beard, and a very old suit.

When standing, it feels like there is no bone support.

It's crooked and has no image at all.

They are called policemen, but they look more like street thugs.

"You still have the heart to joke?" Fujiwara Takuhiro was furious. He stood up and threw the inspection report he brought back from Aoyama Hidenobu's office at his face. "Now the superintendent wants you to be transferred. What do you think I should do?"

Nobita Ken picked up the report and took a look at it, frowning, "Baka! Those losers can't catch the suspect themselves, so if I catch one, they'll report me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to leave angrily.

"Stop!" Fujiwara Takuhiro shouted angrily, walked around to stop him, grabbed his collar which was about to be patinated and said, "What do you want to do? Go beat someone up? Are you not satisfied with just being transferred? Do you want to be fired?"

Nobita's expression was gloomy and he looked very unconvinced.

"Alas!" Fujiwara Takuhiro sighed and loosened his collar, "We are a collective..."

"Why do I need so many people to do something I can handle by myself? Those guys will only hinder us." Nobita Ken said disdainfully.

Fujiwara Takuhiro was furious again, "The Superintendent is right, you are not suitable to be a police officer, at least not suitable for the front line, write a report yourself and work as a clerk."

Compared to being transferred to be a clerk, applying on your own initiative can at least save some face.

"Clerk?" Nobita Ken was shocked, his face full of disbelief, "You want me to pick up a pen with the hand that holds a gun?"

"Don't look at me, this is the order of the superintendent..."

"Bagayalu! I'm going to go find him now!"

Before Fujiwara Takuhiro could finish his words, Nobita Ken slammed the door and left angrily.

"Nobi Kuraken! What are you doing? Stop!"

Fujiwara Takuhiro was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly chased after him.

"Don't worry, I won't hit him."

Nobita Ken rushed into the elevator and closed the door.

"Clap clap clap!"

Takuhiro Fujiwara caught up and anxiously pressed several buttons, but it was too late, the elevator started to move upwards.

"Idiot! I'm just fucking afraid he'll beat you up!"
