In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 341: Aoyama Taijun, who is even more of a devil than the Japanese (asking for monthly votes)
Facing Higashino's request for help, Aoyama Hidenobu agreed without hesitation, "Of course, although we had a little misunderstanding before, Chairman Higashino has made up for it with 5% of the shares. I am grateful to Chairman Higashino for getting such a large fortune for nothing, and I am willing to lend a helping hand."

"Thank you, Inspector Aoyama!" Higashino Jiecheng was deeply moved and bowed solemnly with gratitude.

Aoyama Hidenobu quickly helped him up and asked in a warm manner, "But how do you want me to help you?"

"This..." Higashino Yuito is an uneducated person. Although he is now determined to protect his father's company and avenge him, he has no idea what to do.

So in the end, I subconsciously asked Aoyama Hidenobu for help, "Does Superintendent Aoyama have any good suggestions?"

The other party has completely gained his trust.

"In that case, let me briefly talk about my ideas. Please take a seat." Aoyama Hidenobu invited him to sit on the sofa and said slowly, "Your biggest shortcoming right now is that you don't have enough supporters and prestige in the company. Even though you hold the highest shareholding, no one dares to believe that you have the ability to maintain the company's operations or even further develop it."

Higashino Yusei felt a little uneasy when he heard this, because what Aoyama Hidenobu said was true.

Tono Corporation is a listed company.

He has to be responsible to the shareholders. Even if he is the largest shareholder, he cannot successfully take over his father's position as chairman without the support of the board of directors.

Whether in public or in private.

It was obvious that the board would not support him.

Even Aoyama Hidenobu would not support Higashino Yutaka as the current successor to the position of chairman, because if this news got out, it would definitely cause the company's stock price to plummet.

In the end, it is his interests that are harmed!
"Besides, you, Higashino-kun, have no management experience. If you really become the chairman, you will inevitably make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, your prestige, which you don't have to begin with, will drop to negative numbers. So the best choice is to do nothing, and then you will never make mistakes."

At this point, Aoyama Hidenobu sighed heavily, "In fact, if Mr. Mikami had no second thoughts, things would be much simpler. It would be a good idea for him to hold your shares and control the company, while you slowly start from the grassroots to accumulate experience and prestige. But unfortunately, he is not trustworthy."

"Then according to Inspector Aoyama's opinion, what should I do now?" After hearing Aoyama Hidenobu's analysis, Higashino Yusei felt a little confused.

Do you feel like you are useless?
Aoyama Hidenobu pondered for a moment and said, "Choose another person from the company's senior management to replace Mr. Mikami's role. Let him hold your shares on your behalf. With his influence in the company and my support, he will surely be able to secure the position of chairman, and you will be assigned to various departments of the company to gain experience."

"But how can we be sure that this person is trustworthy?" Dongye Jiecheng asked worriedly.

Aoyama Hidenobu laughed and said in a rather domineering manner: "I will talk to him on your behalf."

Upon hearing this, Higashino Yusaka felt relieved. With Aoyama Hidenobu backing him up, the people who held shares on his behalf would definitely not dare to have any improper thoughts.

And not everyone is as bad as Makoto Mikami.

For example, Inspector Aoyama is a rare good guy.

"Thank you, Inspector Aoyama. I will definitely reward you generously when I take control of the company!" Higashino Jiecheng stood up excitedly and bowed deeply.

Aoyama Hidenobu waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor. I didn't contribute much. As for the candidate for the proxy holder, I will inform you after I have studied it carefully. Also, you can take your time to avenge your father. Don't let Mikami Seishunari notice anything at this stage, otherwise it may be disadvantageous to you."

If Higashino Yusaka shows hostility towards Mikami Seinari now, then Mikami Seinari will definitely investigate the reason and will most likely find out that he is behind it, and will definitely find a way to stop his plan.

“Hey!” Dongye Jiecheng nodded and said through gritted teeth: “It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!”

"It's good that Higashino-kun understands this principle. I still have work to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer. Please do as you please." Aoyama Hidenobu stood up to see the guest off.

Dongye Jiecheng bowed and turned to leave.

After watching him leave, Aoyama Hidenobu narrowed his narrow eyes, chuckled, and called Nohara Ito, "Please arrange a lunch with Chiba Ribun, the director of Tono Construction Co., Ltd."

This person was the one he had chosen to hold the shares in Higashino Kaisei's hands. He was a small shareholder of Higashino Construction Co., Ltd. He had also served as the head of the human resources department for many years and was also a veteran employee of Higashino Construction Co., Ltd. He had a group of supporters of his own.

This old fellow is in such an important position as the person in charge of personnel, so of course he is prone to corruption and bribery.

Although Aoyama Hidenobu has not yet obtained relevant evidence, as long as he wants, he can use the power of the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate thoroughly.

I believe Chiba Rifumi also understands this truth.

Then he called Nobi Kura Ken.

After answering, he said, "I'm Aoyama Hidenobu."

"Inspector." Nobita Ken responded.

Aoyama Hidenobu turned on the hands-free mode, put the receiver on the desk, leaned back, closed his eyes, looked carefree, and asked nonchalantly, "Where are you exactly now?"

"It's in room 1202 of the Red Maple Hotel at -chome, Matsuda-cho, Kanagawa Prefecture," Nobi Kura Ken replied.

Aoyama Hidenobu crossed his hands and rubbed his fingers together. "Put the money in the room. I will have someone pick it up and transfer it to your account after washing it. Also, dump the leader's body in a slightly remote place tonight, but someone will definitely find it."

"Hi!" Nobi Kura Ken replied respectfully.

The more I interacted with Aoyama Hidenobu, the more I understood him, and the more I felt awe and fear for him.

This guy is really bold, ruthless and unpredictable. He seems to have no respect for anything and is capable of doing anything.

After hanging up the phone, Aoyama Hidenobu called Yamakawa Kazushiro again and asked him to arrange for someone to go to the hotel where Nobi Kura Ken was staying to get the money, and then send it to Nohara Ito to launder it through Nohara Financial Co., Ltd.

………………………………At noon, at a high-end restaurant in Ginza.

In the huge private room, Aoyama Hidenobu and Chiba Rifumi, who was over 50 years old, sat opposite each other. Aoyama seemed very relaxed, while Chiba Rifumi was very respectful and serious.

"Minister Chiba, we are having a meal now, not a meeting. You are so serious that I have lost my appetite." Aoyama Hidenobu shook his head and put down his chopsticks.

"Hey! I'm so sorry!" Chiba Liwen bowed, forced his tense body to relax, and said, "Inspector Qingshan is so busy, but he suddenly summoned me. I'm really overwhelmed. I don't know if there is anything I can do for you. As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse."

He had no connection with Aoyama Hidenobu, and the other party's sudden meeting with him was definitely not just for dinner.

"Minister Chiba is so straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Aoyama Hidenobu took a sip from his wine glass, then put it down and said, "Everyone is very sad about Higashino Gen's death, but even though he is gone, Higashino Construction Co., Ltd. is still here, so it's inevitable that ambitious people will want to take advantage of this opportunity to seize power in the company."

"As a close friend of Dongye, I naturally cannot sit idly by. Of course, I also know that he is not suitable for the position of chairman now, so after discussing with him, I decided to find someone to hold his shares on his behalf and compete for the new position of chairman. After he has accumulated enough experience and ability, I will give him the position."

"And the person I chose is you, Minister Chiba. I hope you will be the chairman during this transitional period and hold up a big umbrella for Dongye-kun to protect him from the wind and rain, so that he can get through the most vulnerable and helpless period."

His words were sincere and moving.

Chiba Liwen was very surprised. He had only heard that Higashino Kaicheng offended Aoyama Hidenori, which led to Higashino Xuan cutting off his flesh to pay the penalty. When did the friendship between these two people become so deep? Why did Aoyama Hidenori care about him so much?

No matter what the reason was, he was at least clear about one thing: those people who were eager to take the position of chairman have no chance. After all, Higashino Gen had to bow to Aoyama Hidenobu, so what were they?
After thinking for a moment, he stood up, bowed solemnly and said, "Without President Dongye, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will definitely not let you down, thanks to Superintendent Qingshan and Master Jiecheng's trust!"

He knew very well that since Aoyama Hidenobu had found him, he had no right to refuse.

And although it is just a transition, since I can satisfy my desire to be the president, why not do it?

"Very good! As expected of an old minister promoted by Chairman Higashino, you are trustworthy." Aoyama Hidenobu laughed and raised his glass, "I toast to you."

"Hi!" Chiba Liwen bowed, then quickly bent down and raised his glass to toast the other party, "You too."

He was very perceptive. After finishing the business, he knew that if he stayed here, Aoyama Hidenobu might not be able to eat comfortably, so he left first.

Aoyama Hidenobu was drinking alone in a private room.

He was in an especially good mood at this moment.

After finding a suitable puppet to help him control the company and stabilize the overall situation, the next step is to turn the shares that Dongye Jiecheng is about to inherit into his own.

As for how to make Higashino Jiecheng quickly and willingly give up his shares to him, Aoyama Hidenobu already had an idea, which was to lure Higashino Jiecheng into becoming addicted to gambling, set up a trap for him, and make him lose money.

After losing so much, he naturally had to find a way to pay back the debts when faced with debt collection. In order to raise the ransom of 100 million US dollars as quickly as possible, the Higashino family had been basically emptied.

Faced with huge debts, the only way he could repay them was to sell his shares. Aoyama Hidenobu came forward to buy them at a high price and could even earn his gratitude.

After selling the shares and getting the money, he would use it to pay off debts or gamble, and eventually the money would return to Aoyama Hidenobu's hands. It was equivalent to him easily turning Higashino's shares into his own without spending a penny.

Higashino Yusei's father had just passed away, and he was in a depressed mood due to the sudden change. He urgently needed to do something exciting to divert his attention. At this juncture, if he was led down the path of gambling, he would surely become addicted to it.

Without spending a penny, Aoyama Hidenobu was able to take over Tono Construction Co., Ltd. and wait for the upcoming large-scale infrastructure policy to make money from the country.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Aoyama Hidenobu couldn't help laughing, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, feeling refreshed.

It's so much fun to steal other people's things.

He is now even more of a devil than the Japanese.

After eating and drinking, he called Shinichi Nakamura and asked him to arrange a woman to approach Higashino Yusei and induce him to become addicted to gambling.

Higashino Yusei was unaware of this and was deeply shocked, drinking in a club to drown his sorrows.

He numbed himself with alcohol, only in this way could he temporarily forget the pain of his father's death.

The funeral arrangements were entirely handed over to Mikami Seinari.

In his opinion, it was the hypocrite Mikami Seinari who killed his father, and this could be considered as his atonement.

Time quickly came to the afternoon. Aoyama Hidenobu got off work early, went to the cake shop to pick up the cake he had ordered in advance, and drove to Uchida Yuki's house.

Tonight is Yuki Uchida's 18th birthday, so let her enjoy the same happiness as a blessing.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Inspector Aoyama has only this ability, but that he knows how to save.

When she is 19, 20, 21, or 22 years old, she will naturally enjoy the corresponding happiness.

If he gets older, he won't be able to do anything.

After all, people have limits.
