In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 348 Then just as you wish, redeem your mother’s head!
"Aoyama Hidenobu is cunning and suspicious, and the Metropolitan Police Department has spies everywhere. In the future, you and I, Kurosawa-kun, must be careful." After entering the elevator, Edogawa Jinshu looked straight ahead and spoke softly.

"Hey!" Kurosawa Tianan responded with a smile on his face. "So you just distanced yourself from me after Aoyama Hidenobu mentioned Minister Nakamura. Your purpose was to confuse him and show that you didn't even know that I was transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department by Minister Nakamura."

"Yes, any inappropriate reaction may arouse his suspicion." Edogawa Jinshu replied.

When the elevator reached the next floor, another person came in, so the two stopped talking and remained silent.

In the section chief's office, Ryosai Sakai stood silently in front of the desk with his hands hanging down. Behind the desk, Aoyama Hidenobu was sitting with his legs crossed, looking through the files of Kurosawa Tenan, Edogawa Jinshu and Nakamura Ryuichi.

As Edogawa Jinshu said, Kurosawa Tenan once worked in the same police station as him and they had a very good relationship, but judging from paper alone, he and Nakamura Ryuichi have no connection at all.

If we just infer based on common sense, it must be that Nakamura Ryuichi knew that Kurosawa Tenan and Edogawa Jinshu were friends, so he arranged for him to be an undercover agent and use Edogawa Jinshu's means to get close to Aoyama Hidenobu.

But Aoyama Hidenobu not only had the likes of Cao Cao, but also the disease of Cao Cao. He was extremely suspicious. The more the answer to something could be seen at a glance, the less he believed it. He was accustomed to thinking deeply and thinking about the worst case scenario.

What's more, there are several suspicious points in this matter itself.

The biggest suspicious point is that Ryuichi Nakamura's method of arranging the undercover agent was too crude. Didn't he ever think that he could easily find out that Kurosawa Tenan was his man?

Aoyama Hidenori didn't believe that Nakamura Ryuichi couldn't think of this, but since he could think of it and still did it, he must have other purposes.

In an instant, a light bulb suddenly flashed in Aoyama Hidenobu's mind, and he realized a problem. He originally thought that Edogawa Jinshu was an undercover agent, but the appearance of Kurosawa Tenan made him doubt this judgment. Could this be Nakamura Ryuichi's purpose?
Continue thinking along this line of thought.

Aoyama Hidenobu increasingly felt that this was the case.

After all, the time when Edogawa Jinshu appeared in his sight was too coincidental, and Nakamura Ryuichi must have remembered telling Takeshita Shun about the undercover agent, and he must have guessed that Takeshita Shun would tell him.

In order to prevent his undercover identity from being exposed, he must of course do something, and it is normal for him to place a Kurosawa Tenan to divert his attention.

"Old Nakamura, you are so cunning! I almost got fooled by you." Aoyama Hidenobu slammed the file in his hand on the table and said with a sneer.

Then a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Since you intend to let me discover the undercover identity of Kurosawa Tenan, and even intend to use Kurosawa Tenan to cover up Edogawa Jinshu, then I will do as you wish.

Ryosai Sakai keenly captured the change in Aoyama Hidenobu's expression and knew that someone was about to get into trouble.

It could be one of the three files I submitted, or it could be that all three were unlucky.

"Knock knock knock!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Aoyama Hidenobu collected his thoughts and said, "Come in."

"Inspector." Edogawa Jinshu pushed the door open and walked in.

Aoyama Hidenobu calmly covered the file in front of him with a file bag, waved to Sakai Ryosai and said, "Okay, Sakai, you go ahead and do your work."

"Hi!" Ryosai Sakai bowed and left.

Aoyama Hidenobu then looked at Edogawa Jinshu and said with a smile: "Why, did you send your old friend to the office? When you meet again, why don't you chat for a while to deepen your relationship? In the future, when you are both in the Metropolitan Police Department, you can take care of each other."

"It's enough for me to have the superintendent to look after me." Edogawa Jinshu hastily expressed his opinion, looking a little nervous and terrified, "Superintendent, I was just a little acquainted with him in the past, but it has faded a long time ago. I didn't know that he was transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department by Nakamura Ryuichi."

"Mr. Edogawa, what you said is unfair." Aoyama Hidenobu looked at him with a fake smile and said nonchalantly, "I heard that you two are friends for life and death?"

"We were just young and naive once. How can a friendship of life and death compare to the fame, wealth and support you have given me, Inspector!" Edogawa Jinshu said firmly.

Aoyama Hidenobu raised the corner of his mouth, "Really?"

"Seriously!" Edogawa Jinshu answered decisively.

"That's better." Aoyama Hidenobu said meaningfully, then waved his hand, "Go."

"Hi!" Edogawa Jinshu bowed and turned to leave. For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

Watching the office door close, Aoyama Hidenobu made several phone calls and went out to arrange something.

At the same time, on the other side, a cordon had been set up outside the building where Suzuki Yuki was killed. The person who called the police was her best friend who had been invited this morning. She was now crying and telling the police officer what had happened.

"She told me last night that she had moved to a new house recently. She told me the address and asked me to come this morning to celebrate. She also told me to come. I brought a gift..."

My best friend burst into tears after just a few words.

"Take your time to talk, there's no rush. Come on, wipe your tears." In front of the best friend, the police officer, who had a tall and straight figure and a not-so-handsome but very fair face, considerately handed a tissue to the best friend.

The best friend took it and wiped it roughly, then looked up at the police officer in front of her and said thank you with a choked voice.

"You're welcome. I completely understand how you feel." The police officer sighed sympathetically.

But there was a hint of mockery in the depths of his eyes.

It was he who strangled Suzuki Yuki to death last night.

The friend nodded and continued, "I came here as invited this morning, but I couldn't knock on the door or get through on the phone. I got worried, so I called someone to force the door open. When I entered, I found Xue dead in the hallway. I beg you to catch the murderer, please!"

"Don't worry, we will do our best to solve the case, bring the murderer to justice, and not let any bad guy go!" The police officer promised solemnly.

My best friend bit her lip and sobbed and nodded.

The police officer continued with the routine questioning, "Does she have any other close relatives or friends besides you?"

"There is also a brother." The best friend replied.

"Brother." The police officer was stunned. Suzuki Yuki's file clearly showed that she was an only child. He quickly asked further: "How can I contact her brother?"

"I can't even contact Lian Xue herself. I heard from her that she went to work abroad five years ago and has never come back." The best friend shook her head and sniffed as she answered.

"Oh, so that's how it is." It turned out to be a missing person. On the bright side, he might have died abroad a long time ago. The police officer was slightly relieved. "Report!" At this moment, a police officer who was investigating the scene came over to report, "The search inside and outside the house has been completed. No fingerprints, footprints or other residues were found. The murderer is very professional. The property in the house was looted. The initial speculation is that it was a burglary and murder."

"Miss, you heard it too. Home robberies are often random crimes that are difficult to investigate, and the perpetrators did it very cleanly. All we can say is that we did the best we could," the police officer said with a helpless sigh.

"No, that's not the case." My best friend suddenly shook her head and pursed her lips and said, "Xue was acting a little strange when she asked me out last night. I suspect she has realized that she might be murdered. This is a deliberate homicide, not an accidental robbery and murder."

"Miss, we are only looking at the evidence. Go back and wait for notification." The police officer said and turned away.

I don't want to waste any more time talking to this stupid woman. This case will definitely end up as an unsolved case.

Looking at the police officer's back, my best friend clenched her fists and bit her lips tightly, her face full of unwillingness.

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

The next morning, Seiji Mikami, who had been detained by the police for more than 10 days for intentional injury, was released.

The driver picked him up at the police station gate in advance.

"Go to Chairman Higano's house."

After getting in the car, Mikami Seinari said, leaning back in the chair and rubbing his brows worriedly.

We arrived at our destination about half an hour later.

"Mr. Mikami, you are here."

All the servants of the Higashino family knew him.

"How about the formation?" asked Mikami Seinari.

"The boss just came back and is sleeping." The butler answered respectfully, and then said with some melancholy: "Mr. Mikami, the boss seems to be addicted to gambling recently. Please persuade him."

The servants all disliked Dong Ye's gambling habit.

After all, he went bankrupt and they were out of work.

"Baga! This damn bastard!" Mikami Seinari was so furious when he heard this. He suddenly remembered that before he was detained, Higashino Yuki looked like he had not slept well the whole day. At that time, he said that he was tossing and turning because he missed his deceased father. Now it seems that it was because he stayed up late gambling!

In a rage, he pushed the housekeeper aside and strode into the main villa. When he reached the door of Dongye Jiecheng's bedroom, he raised his foot and kicked it, "Asshole! Open the door!"

"Bang!" The door panel was shaking continuously due to being kicked.

“Bakayarō!” Higashino Yusei, who had just closed his eyes, was woken up. He cursed and jumped out of bed and opened the door. When he saw that it was Mikami Seinari, he was stunned for a moment, then sneered, “Is the detention period over?”

"I heard that you have been addicted to gambling? Do you want to squander all the family fortune your father left you?" Mikami Makinari didn't care about the sarcasm and ridicule in his tone, and criticized hysterically.

Higashino Yusei raised his head and yawned, sneering, "That's better than handing it over to you. Uncle Mikami, don't think about taking my shares anymore. I've already pledged them to Inspector Aoyama. Go ask him for them if you have the guts."

"What?" Mikami Seinari was struck by lightning when he heard this. He felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. He widened his eyes and shouted in pain: "You idiot! Do you know that all this was planned by Aoyama Hidenobu? He did it for your shares and for Dongye Construction!"

"That's enough! You don't need to teach me! Inspector Aoyama won't allow you to slander me! You know what you did!" Higashino Yusei didn't believe what Mikami Seinari said, and added, "It's just a pledge. I will redeem it in a year."

"Redeem your mother's head! If you continue like this, you will lose all your family assets. What will you use to redeem it?" Mikami Seinari was completely defeated and started cursing.

Dongye Jiecheng's face flushed, and he stiffened his neck to argue for himself, "I just had bad luck!"

"The fact that you can say this proves that you are not smart either!" Mikami Makinari was angry at his lack of fighting spirit.

"Shut up!" Dongye Jiecheng blurted out with red eyes, "How dare you, a murderer who killed my father just to seize my family's property, point fingers at me? I just wish I could kill you!"

"What did you say? What did you say!" The corners of Mikami Makoto's mouth twitched and his face was full of disbelief.

Dongye Jiecheng stared at him intently, as if he wanted to eat him alive, "Still pretending? You know exactly what I'm saying! Although Inspector Qingshan told me that it would be dangerous to expose you, I really can't tolerate your shameless face! I feel sorry for my dad!"

"Pah!" Mikami Seinari raised his hand and slapped Higashino Keisuke hard on the face, breathing rapidly and saying: "You don't listen to my uncle's words, and you take Aoyama Hidenori's words as the Bible! What he says is the truth? You have been played around by him! Whether you live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with me!"

After he finished speaking, he left with full of anger.

"Mikami Seinari! But your life or death must be related to me! I swear, I will avenge my father!" Higashino Yushinari yelled at his back.

Mikami Makinari was both angry and heartbroken. He blamed Aoyama Hidenori for being ruthless and treacherous, and Higashino Yutaka for being stupid and ignorant. He was now certain that it was Aoyama Hidenori who kidnapped and killed Higashino Gen.

What's funny is that Dongye Jiecheng obeys the words of the real murderer of his father, but regards his uncle who only wants good for him as an enemy.

"Ha! Hahahahaha!"

When he laughed out of anger, Mikami Seinari felt that Higashino Yui's intelligence was worthy of the suffering he had experienced.

He was completely disappointed.

Mikami Makinari returned home filled with anger.

"A visitor," his wife said as she opened the door for him.

Mikami Seinari frowned, curious about who came to visit him the first time he came out.

He walked quickly through the entrance hall, and then saw Aoyama Hidenobu, dressed in a suit and tie, sitting on the sofa with a rattle in his hand and a smile on his face, playing with his granddaughter.

As if sensing something, Aoyama Hidenobu turned around and smiled at him, "Supervisor Mikami is back."

While speaking, he gently shook the wave drum.

dong dong dong~
Mikami Seinari suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
