In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 242 New department, instructing subordinates, fierce killer

"Using the BBS platform to hire someone to kill someone?"

Looking at Shinichi Nakamura in front of him, Aoyama Hidenobu was a little confused. He had never heard of such an ancient word in his previous life, let alone in this life.

"Hey! According to Kameda Shinri, each post has a number, and the victim's identity information and address will be given in the post. The amount of reward given will vary depending on the victim's identity and status."

"There is a contact number at the end of the post. When you call, tell the other party what task number you want to take on and determine the channel through which you will collect the deposit and balance, either by bank transfer or by specifying a place to leave it. In short, the two parties will not meet in person."

"At the same time, those who accept the task must put their information in the place designated by the platform. The platform will only give the deposit after confirming the authenticity. In this way, if anyone takes the deposit but does not complete the task, he will also become a person who is rewarded on the BBS."

Nakamura Shinichi spoke with a serious expression.

Aoyama Hidenobu understood that the opacity of the Internet platform was used to carry out criminal transactions in the early days.

"Go find a computer and check out the BBS that Kameda Shinri mentioned." Aoyama Hidenobu got up and walked out.

Computers are not that useful nowadays, and using computers is considered a technical job. Except for the departments that need them, leaders’ offices are not equipped with them.

Shinichi Nakamura hurriedly followed.

The two of them came to the Technical Support Section. Aoyama Hidenobu had seen the dial-up Internet in this era. He stared at the computer screen that had not changed for a long time, "Why is there no response?"

He thinks the picture quality affects the viewing experience when watching movies.

Don't ask why a movie that is obviously watched with the eyes is related to hand feeling. After all, it is well known that this type of movie is an interactive movie and the audience will move along with it.

"The line is busy. I guess someone else is using it." The police officer from the technical department replied.

That's how BBS was at that time. Only one person could use a line at the same time, and the next person had to wait until the other person logged off before they could connect.

However, due to the slow and expensive Internet speed, no one will stay online for too long. After downloading the posts they are interested in, they will quickly log off and give up the line.

After three or five minutes, the technical police officer tried to connect again. This time he was connected, and a crude welcome page appeared on the computer screen.

Then, posts popped up one after another, each one offering a bounty for murder. The identities of the targets were varied, and the rewards ranged from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the contact information was the same.

Obviously, these posts were published by the same person. The person who built this BBS is responsible for providing a trading platform and acting as a middleman to help complete the entire transaction process, and he charges a certain fee as remuneration.

"Is this...is this...a prank?"

The police officer from the technical department was a little bit unbelieving. He turned around to look at Aoyama Hidenori and Nakamura Shinichi, but saw that they had serious expressions. He immediately realized that something big had happened.

"Go and investigate the identity information of the person who opened this line immediately." Aoyama Hidenobu gave an order.

Shinichi Nakamura responded, “Hi!”

Aoyama Hidenobu went to meet Nihei Kunio.

Reported the case to him.

"What is BBS?" Renping Guoxiong didn't understand this thing at all and was completely confused after hearing it.

Aoyama Hidenobu gave a further detailed explanation.

After understanding this, Kunio Nihira's face became solemn and he realized the seriousness of the matter. If Kameda Shinri had not been arrested this time, it would have been unknown when this matter would have become known to the public.

Perhaps with the development of the Internet, this platform will become more and more mature and hidden more and more secretive, causing one bloody crime after another.

"Superintendent, the development of technology is changing with each passing day. The number of citizens who own and use personal computers will only increase. I propose that the Technical Support Section set up an Internet monitoring team to monitor the BBSs on the market. This will not only prevent such situations from happening again, but also monitor public opinion to prevent the spread of negative comments. The Internet is not a place beyond the law!"

The Internet is the answer to this question. It will develop rapidly in the future. With more and more Internet users, the influence of the Internet will become greater and greater. Internet police should also come into being. We should first establish a prototype and then develop along with the development of the Internet.

If anyone dares to smear him online in the future, we will send police offline to arrest them across counties in minutes.

"The Internet is not a place outside the law, this saying is well said!" Renping Guoxiong nodded. Wasn't it because of the lack of relevant experience that the police failed to monitor this aspect properly?

He took a deep breath and said, "I will report to the director and pass on this suggestion to you."

"Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu bowed.

Renping Guoxiong added: "Hurry up with the bombing case and come up with a result as soon as possible. The director has been annoyed by reporters recently because of this matter."

"Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu bowed again.

Renping Guoxiong waved his hand and sent him away.

After leaving the Superintendent General's office, Aoyama Hidenobu went directly to Akamoto Nobunaga's office.

"Police officer!"

Akamoto Nobunaga was just getting annoyed about who came in without knocking, but when he suddenly looked up and saw who it was, the anger on his face was immediately replaced by a smile, and he stood up and bowed to greet them.

"Has there been any progress in the bombing case today? The director just urged me again." Aoyama Hidenobu walked to the sofa and sat down, took out a cigarette box and shook it into his mouth.

Akamoto Nobunaga quickly bent down and trotted forward to help him light the fire, frowning and saying, "Superintendent, I am incompetent and can't find out anything. We have been working overtime these days. Those who had grudges against the deceased Tsuda Nobuo have been ruled out as suspects. The plumber who entered Tsuda's house that day is still under surveillance, and no problems have been found so far."

"Akamoto-kun, you disappoint me." Aoyama Hidenobu sighed and said in a stiff tone.

Akamoto Nobunaga didn't dare to refute: "Hey!"

"I gave you a few days to solve this problem, but what are you doing? Do you have the attitude to solve this problem?" asked Aoyama Hidenobu.

Akamoto Nobunaga quickly replied: "I have been up all night investigating this case, but the murderer is so cunning that it is difficult to find any clues..."

He thought that his inability to find clues was purely a problem of ability, but there was absolutely no problem with his attitude. "Do you know why I am younger than you but a superintendent, while you are still a police inspector?" Aoyama Hidenobu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and interrupted him.

Isn't that because you know how to lick your leader's ass?

Akamoto Nobunaga complained silently in his heart, but on the surface he showed another expression. With a flattering and fawning smile on his face, he picked up the ashtray and handed it to him, "Of course it's because you are so talented, Superintendent. I am dull and not even one ten-thousandth as talented as you. It's a blessing from my ancestors that I can become a police inspector at the age of thirty."

"This is just one of the reasons." Aoyama Hidenobu smiled rather reservedly, shook off the ashes from his cigarette and said earnestly, "The point is that I can adapt, but you obviously can't. Do you think the higher-ups really care about the real culprit of the bombing? No! They care about the negative impact of the unsolved case, and they just want a result as soon as possible to completely calm down the storm."

"So it would be great if we could catch the real murderer, but it doesn't matter if we can't. Just catch a murderer and talk to him, let him understand the difficulties of the adults and relieve their worries, and let him take the blame for the bombing case!"

"In this way, the criminals are punished, the Metropolitan Police Department is rewarded, the people vent their anger, the adults have less trouble, and the reporters have news. Everyone is happy!"

"This can be done in a day! But I gave you almost a week! Do you have a pig brain? Do you really need me to chew the food into pieces and feed it to you?"

The more he talked, the angrier Aoyama Hidenobu became. Unable to contain his anger, his voice became increasingly harsh, and his eyes became more fierce.

The subordinate is so stupid that he can't figure out his boss' intentions.

It makes his boss very tired!

He really envied his boss, who was lucky enough to have a subordinate like him who had such strong subjective motivation.

"This... your subordinate..." Akamoto Nobunaga was sweating profusely. He had actually done this kind of thing before, but never on such a big scale. After all, this was an explosion case that attracted national attention, so he had never thought of faking it.

No wonder Aoyama Hidenobu could become a superintendent. Not only was he good at licking, but he was also very brave. He felt ashamed of himself.

Now that I think about it, Aoyama Hidenobu patiently comforted him last time by saying, "I don't believe that the murderer didn't leave any clues."

This is a hint for me to create clues!

Aoyama Hidenobu suppressed his anger and asked expressionlessly, "Can this case be solved in three days?"

"Yes!" Akamoto Nobunaga answered quickly, took a deep breath, bowed and said, "The Superintendent's sincere teachings have really enlightened me. Under your wise guidance, this case will not take three days at all. Before the end of get off work tomorrow, I guarantee that the murderer will be brought to justice!"

"Very good! With such high morale, why worry about not catching the murderer?" Aoyama Hidenobu nodded, extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray, and stood up, "Hurry up."

"Hey! Superintendent, please walk slowly!"

Akamoto Nobunaga bowed and saw him off, holding an ashtray.

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

"Inspector, we have found out that the person who created this BBS is Matsumoto Takashige, 25 years old, an orphan, and lives at 114-115 Higashi-Shinjuku -chome. He has abnormal deposits in multiple bank accounts under his name. He has no job, but the money in his accounts has been increasing since half a year ago."

In the afternoon, Shinichi Nakamura handed a profile to Hidenobu Aoyama and gave a brief introduction.

"It seems that this guy is behind this."

Aoyama Hidenobu said in a firm tone.

This was the first time that the police had handled such a case, and it was also the first time for Matsumoto Takasetsu. He did not hide his identity better, or he did not have the technology and means to do so. If he was not investigated by the police, he would be fine. But once he was investigated, he would be caught.

"Just arrest him directly?" asked Shinichi Nakamura.

Aoyama Hidenobu nodded, "Catch him! This guy must have a lot of information about the employers and murderers. As long as we get the list, catching him is like catching the whole gang. It's a big case and a great achievement!"

It just so happens that this extremely large new case is enough to become a new hotspot. Cooling down the bombing case will make it easier for Akamoto Nobunaga to fish in troubled waters and find someone to take the blame.

"Hi!" Shinichi Nakamura immediately turned around and left.

Half an hour later, two policemen disguised as gas workers knocked on Matsumoto Takashi's door. After he opened the door and confirmed that it was him, they arrested him on the spot.

The technical department found a lot of information about the employer and the murderer on a hard drive in Matsumoto Takashi's home.

This BBS was actually established only a year ago. Because people are not brave enough to publicize it, it does not have many users. Including the case of Kameda Shinri, it has only successfully completed 17 transactions. The other 16 victims are located all over the country. Through telephone inquiries, they were all registered as unsolved cases or missing persons by the local police.

Shinichi Nakamura also discovered a big problem.

Among these 17 business orders, 12 of them were actually handled by a man named Koike Noo, who handled most of the business by himself. He was also the first person to receive orders on the BBS.

Within one year, he traveled around the country and killed twelve people in succession, but he was never caught. It can be seen that he is a professional killer and is extremely dangerous.

But the employer and several other murderers had detailed information on the hard drive, except for Koike Noo.

Shinichi Nakamura asked Matsumoto Takasetsu what was going on.

Matsumoto Takasetsu is just a otaku with extremely poor psychological quality. After being arrested, he cooperated obediently with the police.

"When I first built the BBS, many of my ideas were not yet complete. He was the first person to accept the order. At that time, I had not yet established a rule that the order acceptor must provide identity information for verification. Because I had worked with him once and knew he was reliable, I did not ask him for it later. After all, he made a lot of money for me alone, and I did not want to cause his disgust."

"So you know nothing about him except his name?" asked Shinichi Nakamura.

Matsumoto Takasetsu fell silent, sweating profusely.

"Then do you have any way to contact him actively?"

"No, he usually contacts me through a public phone, and when he collects money, he asks me to put it in a certain place." Matsumoto Takasetsu shook his head.

An hour later, the interrogation ended and Shinichi Nakamura took the transcript to report to Hidenobu Aoyama.
