In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 346 Ask her what else she wants to say and help her carve it on the tombstone
"Shares...shares of Dongye Construction?"

Higashino Jicheng blurted out in surprise, and looked at Aoyama Hidenobu with a look that was immediately full of defensiveness and suspicion.

After all, there are many people eyeing the shares he holds.

As if Aoyama Hidenobu didn't see the change in his eyes, his expression was calm. He nodded and said in a gentle tone: "That's right, Higashino-kun, you have to know that I don't have much money. If I want to lend you such a large sum of money, I can only get it from Nohara Financial Co., Ltd., and this company is not owned by me alone. Two hundred million US dollars is an astronomical figure. I can't transfer it privately."

"So even if you agree, I can't guarantee that I can lend it to you. I still have to convince other shareholders. After all, I have a friendship with you, but others don't. They only consider their own interests."

This is half true and half false. It is true that he cannot come up with 200 million US dollars by himself, but he still has the 100 million US dollars in ransom that Dongye Jiecheng had contributed before.

After hearing these words, Higashino Yuki's eyes gradually softened, because what Aoyama Hidenobu said did make sense, just like even if his father was a major shareholder, he could not arbitrarily withdraw large sums of company funds.

Moreover, Aoyama Hidenobu's straightforward and frank words touched him deeply, proving that the other party really wanted to lend him money, but just couldn't make the decision on his own.

However, after all, it was related to the largest inheritance left by his father, which made him somewhat hesitant. He stood there with an uncertain expression, and a struggle between his conscience and his desires in his mind.

He counted the other properties that belonged to him personally, including houses, cars, and shares in several other companies, and finally sighed helplessly.

Even if all of these were sold, we wouldn’t be able to raise 200 million US dollars.

Because they could be sold urgently, they were sold at a low price when we were trying to raise the US$100 million ransom.

"Don't worry, this is a serious matter. Go back and think about it slowly." Aoyama Hidenobu saw his dilemma and smiled understandingly to comfort him.

"No thanks." Higashino Yusei exhaled, raised his head, and bowed solemnly. "Thank you for your help, Inspector Aoyama. I will do as you say. I will pledge the shares of Higashino Construction Co., Ltd. to you to borrow 200 million US dollars for a period of one year."

Since that casino dared to hunt me, it must be very clear about my identity and is confident that I will pay back the money. The only thing that can support their confidence is the backers behind them, and I definitely cannot afford to offend them.

This money must be repaid, and being able to save the sky-high interest with the help of Aoyama Hidenobu is already a profit.

"Isn't one year too short? How about three years?" Aoyama Hidenobu carefully weighed his tone, and then added with a smile, "Of course, I'm not doubting that Higashino-kun can't pay back the money to redeem the shares within a year, but it's best to be foolproof."

As soon as he said the last part of his sentence, Dongye Jiecheng, who was originally hesitant about the one-year time limit because of his first part of his sentence, instantly became determined. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's only for one year. I also need to put some pressure on myself to have the motivation to move forward."

Although Aoyama Hidenobu spoke very tactfully, he could still feel the other party's doubts about his abilities, which seriously hurt his self-esteem.

He was determined to make a career within a year and make everyone look at him with admiration!

Moreover, even if I don't achieve anything in a year, I can still redeem my shares by selling all my current fixed assets.

"Since Mr. Higashino is so confident, I will keep the shares for you for a year." Aoyama Hidenobu laughed, his heart was filled with joy.

Dong Yejie bowed deeply, "Please!"

"You're welcome." Aoyama Hidenobu looked at his watch and pondered for a moment. "How about this, I'll contact Qian. If there's no problem, I'll call the lawyer and Minister Chiba Ribun to sign the contract tonight."

"Hi!" Dong Ye Jie Cheng responded, and then said goodbye, "Then I won't disturb you from working for now."

"Please take care." Aoyama Hidenobu nodded.

Higashino Yusei turned and left. After walking out of the office door, he felt a sense of relief, but at the same time a heavy pressure. It was contradictory and real.

Now that he had no worries, he decided to find a new place to play. After all, even if he pledged his shares in Dongye Construction, he still had enough money to spend.

However, what he didn't know was that the slightly upscale casinos in Tokyo were all opened by large gangs such as the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Inagawa-kai, etc., and these organizations were in cahoots with Aoyama Hidenobu.

So as long as Aoyama Hidenobu said hello, no matter which casino he walked into, he would be cheated.

He won't win unless Aoyama Hidenobu lets him win.

To some extent, he is the god in charge of gambling, and he decides who wins and who loses.

In the office, after seeing off Higashino Yusei, Aoyama Hidenobu called Nohara Ito and asked her to prepare 200 million US dollars in advance, as it would just pass from Higashino Yusei and then return to her hands.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

Just after hanging up the phone, the landline on the desk rang again, and Aoyama Hidenobu picked up the receiver and answered it.

"I'm Aoyama Hidenobu. What's the matter? Tell me."

"Superintendent, I'm Shinichi." Nakamura introduced himself first, then said in a deep voice: "Something went wrong. The woman I arranged to set up a trap for Dongye was a little greedy. She was not satisfied with the compensation we had agreed on before, and now she wants to increase the price temporarily."

According to the original agreed terms, he would give Suzuki Yuki a sum of money after the deal was done, and then send her to neighboring South Korea, and she would never return to Japan to live again in this life.

But now I don’t know if it’s because Suzuki Yuki has been hanging out in the casino with Higashino these days and has seen with her own eyes how rich this big fish is, and she is unwilling to just take a small amount of money, so she proposed to double the reward.

"Does she know your identity?" asked Aoyama Hidenobu.

"Well, I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I didn't dare to ask anyone else to do it. I contacted this woman myself. Of course, she doesn't know you, but I'm afraid that once she tells Dongye Jiecheng about my identity, Dongye Jiecheng will immediately associate it with you and ruin your business."

"Alas, human greed is such a terrible thing." Aoyama Hidenobu sighed compassionately and said lightly: "Ask her if she has anything else to say and help her carve it on the tombstone."

The temporary price increase didn't actually cost him much, but the incident itself sent a signal that this woman was greedy and restless.

If you agree to her conditions today, she will have more extreme ideas tomorrow, so Aoyama Hidenobu would rather kill her directly than give her a penny more.

This is actually more reliable. Dongye Jiecheng will never know the truth of the matter, it will not be spread out, and his reputation will not be affected.

"Hi!" Shinichi Nakamura had already had the intention to kill before he made the call. Now after receiving the signal from Aoyama Hidenobu, a vicious look suddenly appeared on his face.

"It's really not easy to make a little money."

After hanging up the phone, Aoyama Hidenobu dropped the receiver and sat back on the sofa, sighing with melancholy.

In order to make some money, he used all means including cheating, murder, arson, corruption and abuse of power.

Japan is about to usher in a lost decade, and there will be more and more Heisei otakus who lie low, but inspiring young people like him who work hard will also go against the current!

…………………………Temporary price increase.

Suzuki Yuki was actually very nervous.

But in just a few days, she saw with her own eyes that Dongye Jiecheng spent money like water and lost hundreds of millions of dollars, which brought her too great a psychological impact.

She didn't know the role Aoyama Hidenobu played in the matter, nor did she know that his goal was to get shares in Higashino Construction. She just thought that Nakamura Shinichi's goal was to set up a scheme to cheat Higashino out of his money.

So from her perspective, she helped Shinichi Nakamura earn more than 200 million US dollars, and with such a huge sum of money, he only gave herself 100,000 US dollars, which was too stingy.

I have made the greatest contribution, so it is not too much to ask for one million US dollars, right? Compared with 200 million, it is just a drop in the bucket.

It was based on this idea that she dared to go back on her word and raise the price, but she was afraid that Shinichi Nakamura would get angry and refuse to give her a penny.

In that case, even if he told Higashino Yusei about Nakamura Shinichi's identity, he wouldn't be able to get even $100,000, and in the end it would only hurt others and not benefit himself.

This was definitely not the result she wanted.

She just wanted money, more money.

Amid her anxiety and anticipation, the phone rang.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

"Moshimoshi." She immediately picked up the phone.

"I agree to your conditions. I will come to Oi Central Park alone at 11 o'clock tonight." Nakamura Shinichi said lightly. The woman hid after she proposed a price increase, and he couldn't find her for a while. He had to trick her out and find out her whereabouts before he could take action.

Suzuki Yuki swallowed her saliva, tightly grasped the receiver, and mustered up the courage to say, "I just want the reward I deserve, Inspector Nakamura, don't play tricks on me. I have already written a suicide note and made an appointment with a friend to meet tomorrow. If something happens to me, my friend won't be able to see me, but he will see the suicide note."

She didn't say what was written in the suicide note, but it was nothing more than Shinichi Nakamura's identity and the entire process of the fraud.

If she hadn't been prepared at all, she certainly wouldn't have dared to go meet Shinichi Nakamura alone in the middle of the night.

"Hmph, you are worrying about nothing. You also know how much I made from this deal, 200 million US dollars! How can I miss your one million?" Nakamura Shinichi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but his tone was full of disdain.

Suzuki Yuki also thought so and calmed down a little. "That would be the best."

She obviously couldn't understand the thinking of the bureaucrats and capitalists. They would rather spend more money to kill her and deal with her funeral than give her the money directly.

"See you tonight at 11 o'clock. No waiting after that time." Shinichi Nakamura said and hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, Aoyama Hidenobu was reading documents in the office when he was summoned by Nihei Kunio.

"Director, you came to me, what instructions do you have?"

Aoyama Hidenobu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Xiu Xin is here, please sit down." Renping Kunio greeted him with a smile, and then he stood up and poured him a cup of tea. "Try it, it's a gift from a Chinese friend."

"Thank you, Director." Aoyama Hidenobu stood up slightly and took the teacup with both hands. He lowered his head and took a sip, savoring it carefully. His eyes lit up, and he raised his head in surprise and praised, "It smells good. It's really good tea."

I'm not pretending, this tea really tastes good.

"Hahaha, even you, an expert on China, say this is good tea, so it must be really good." Renping Guo Guoxiong laughed twice, sat down next to him and said in a gentle tone: "I called you here today because I have an unwelcome request. I want to put someone in your search department. Of course, don't worry, I have learned about it in advance. This person is not a loser who can only rely on backdoors to rise. He has real skills, but he has never had the opportunity to come to the Metropolitan Police Department. He was only recently promoted by a noble person."

As the boss, he was very polite to discuss in advance before assigning someone to the subordinate department.

"Oh? Since you, the director, praise his real ability, it seems that he must be very good. Our investigation department is short of manpower. Thank you for your concern." Nihei Kunio was so polite that Aoyama Hidenori had to give him face.

Jinping Kunio smiled even more brightly and patted Aoyama Hidenobu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, this guy also came from a hail of bullets. If he really doesn't play a role after he goes there, I won't say a word if you kick him out."

"That can't be done. Even if it's for your sake, I have to turn a blind eye." Aoyama Hidenobu said jokingly, and then he looked curious, "Who asked you for a favor?"

"You must have heard of this man, Ryuichi Nakamura from the Supreme People's Procuratorate. How could I refuse him when he asked me?" Nihei Kunio spread his hands helplessly.

"So it's Prosecutor Nakamura. Then we have to give him this face." Aoyama Hidenobu nodded in agreement, but his mind had already become active.

What does Nakamura Ryuichi mean?
Hadn't they already sent in the undercover agent, Edogawa Jinshu, in a more covert way? Why did they have to use such a crude method to send in another person?

Could it be that he was mistaken, and Edogawa Jinshu was not Nakamura Ryuichi's undercover agent at all? Was this person who was about to be planted by him his undercover agent?

Aoyama Hidenobu quickly came to his senses and asked, "What is the name of my new subordinate who is about to join the company?"

"This is his file." Nihei Kunio said as he stood up and walked to the desk. He picked up a document and returned to hand it to Aoyama Hidenobu. "Take a look."

"Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu took it with both hands and opened it to read: Kurosawa Tenan, male, 35 years old, Meguro District Police Station, Chief of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department.

He is a non-professional and has been awarded many times for his meritorious service. He is known for leading by example and is fearless of death.

After reading it, Aoyama Hidenobu looked up and said to Nihei Kunio with a smile: "This is really a fierce general."

"After all, he is the person that Prosecutor Nakamura has his eyes on and wants to promote." Nihei Kunio said with deep conviction.

Although many bureaucrats disliked Ryuichi Nakamura, they still recognized his character.

Aoyama Hidenobu stood up with the documents in his hand, bowed and said, "Director, I'll go to work first."

"Thank you for your hard work, please take care."

After bidding farewell to Kunio Nihei and returning to the office, Aoyama Hidenobu immediately called Sakai Yoshisai and asked him to check whether there was any intersection between Kurosawa Tenan, Edogawa Jinshu and Nakamura Ryuichi.

Don't be careless and fall into the trap set by old man Nakamura.
