In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 350 Make a choice, the devil is always stronger than the righteous

The arrest took place in an abandoned factory.

The third and second murder teams turned off their police lights and sirens when they were still two kilometers away from their destination, and quickly blocked all entrances and exits after arriving.

As usual, they first called out to persuade the police to surrender, but the only response from the police was gunfire, so Asai Aya gave the order to storm.

She personally led a team to command outside the factory, while Edogawa Jinshu and Kurosawa Tianan each led a team into the building to search and arrest.

After entering the building, Kurosawa Tenan found an opportunity to get rid of his subordinates and meet the other party alone in a workshop in the factory at the signal of Edogawa Jinshu.

"What's wrong, Edogawa-kun? You looked dazed and out of shape ever since you received that phone call in the car. It's easy for you to get distracted and injured during the arrest." Kurosawa Tenan said as soon as they met.

Edogawa Jin sighed and looked at him with complicated eyes, "Aoyama Hidenobu asked me to kill you."

"What?" Kurosawa Tianan was confused.

Edogawa Jinshu said helplessly: "We made a mistake. We thought he would pretend to be ignorant after finding out your undercover identity, but we didn't expect him to kill you directly to eliminate the trouble forever."

If there had not been so many people in the car just now and he was afraid of arousing Aoyama Hidenobu's suspicion, he would have wanted to persuade Aoyama Hidenobu to stay put by using the excuse of taking advantage of the situation.

"Damn, he... How could Aoyama Hidenobu be so impatient! And so bold, I am a state civil servant!" Kurosawa Tianan was shocked and angry after hearing this, shocked by his cruelty and angry at his audacity.

Edogawa Jinshu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "From the extent of his rampant behavior, we can see how harmful the existence of Nohara Financial Corporation is. He even dares to wantonly kill public officials, not to mention the people behind him. Kurosawa-kun, we must eradicate this cancer!"

"That's right!" Kurosawa Tianan nodded in agreement with this statement, but then frowned because of the difficult problem in front of him, "But what should we do now? If you don't kill me, Aoyama Hidenobu will definitely not trust and use you anymore, and the undercover plan will fail."

"Yes." Edogawa Jinshu nodded with a melancholy look on his face, a hint of struggle and pain flashed in his eyes. He paced on the spot with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about countermeasures, and soon walked behind Kurosawa Tenan.

“How about…” Kurosawa Tianan was about to turn around and say something, but the next second he was strangled by a greasy rope. He suddenly widened his eyes and struggled continuously. Behind him came the trembling and gnashing voice of Edogawa Jinshu, “So, I’m sorry, Kurosawa-kun. At this point I have no way to retreat. For the sake of the country and justice, I can only let you go first. Please rest assured, I will definitely send Aoyama Hidenobu to accompany you, I will!”

Edogawa Jinshu had made his choice long ago.

"Huh-huh-huh-" Kurosawa Tenan had his back to Edogawa Jinshu, so his expression could not be seen, but his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness. He kept trying to pull the rope apart with his hands, but the strength in his hands was getting weaker and weaker, until he fell down completely, and his breathing stopped.

But even so, Edogawa Jinshu was still worried. He continued to exert force with both hands to maintain this posture for dozens of seconds before suddenly letting go.

"Pfft!"

Kurosawa Tenan's body fell to the ground.

"Hu-hu-"

Edogawa Jinshu gasped, looked at the oil stains on his gloves, squatted down and rubbed them on the ground, then sat down on the ground again.

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

He kept muttering these words to himself.

Crocodile tears flowed from his eyes.

If he doesn't kill Kurosawa Tenan, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and he will definitely be suspected by Aoyama Hidenbu. If he can kill Kurosawa Tenan who is an undercover agent, he may also want to kill himself.

Edogawa Jinshu is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying in vain. He must bring down the behemoth Nohara Financial Co., Ltd. and Aoyama Hidenobu.

So he had to stay alive and had to gain Aoyama Hidenobu's absolute trust, so he had no choice but to follow his orders and brutally kill Kurosawa Tenan.

Regardless of the reason, killing his colleague with whom he had been through thick and thin together brought tremendous torment and pain to Edogawa Jinshu.

"I will avenge you, I will."

Edogawa Jinshu blamed Aoyama Hidenobu for the blood debt. After he finished speaking, he had recovered some strength, stood up, and stumbled out of the workshop.

What he didn't notice was that a surveillance camera was always working in an inconspicuous corner.

The entire scene just now was recorded.

Because he guessed that Edogawa Jinshu and Kurosawa Tenan would definitely mention him when they met, Aoyama Hidenobu, for safety reasons, deliberately used an old generation of surveillance camera that could only record video but not audio simultaneously.

After killing Kurosawa Tenan, Edogawa Jinshu's mind was in a daze, and he had an indescribable emotion that he wanted to vent, and the target of this emotion could only be the criminal suspect arrested tonight.

So he led the way, rushing to the front of the arrest team, ignoring the advice of his subordinates, and was the first to enter any house to check.

And it was this reckless approach that actually made him the first to run into the "criminal suspect."

The "criminal suspect" who received the money also recognized Edogawa Jinshu. He clearly had the opportunity to shoot first while the other party was confused, but he deliberately hesitated, giving Edogawa Jinshu the opportunity to pull the trigger first.

"Bang bang bang!"

After three consecutive shots, the "suspect" died on the spot.

"There's gunfire over there!"

"Hurry! Go over there!"

Other police officers who heard the gunshots rushed to support from all directions. When they rushed into the workshop where the gunshots were heard, they saw Edogawa Jinshu standing at the door with guns in both hands and a corpse on the ground.

"Inspector Edogawa, are you okay?"

A subordinate stepped forward and asked with concern.

"No, it's okay." Edogawa Jinshu took a deep breath and put away his gun. He endured the pain and asked in a pretentious manner, "Have you seen Inspector Kurosawa?"

"No." "I didn't see it." "As soon as he came in, he left us to our own devices."

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. At the same time, they all had a bad feeling in their hearts. After all, this factory was not big, but Kurosawa Tenan heard the gunshots but did not come. Did he encounter an accident?

"Search quickly." Edogawa Jinshu ordered.

"Hi!" Everyone responded and dispersed.

A moment later, Kurosawa Tenan's body was discovered, and he hurried over to report, "Reporting to Inspector Edogawa, Inspector Kurosawa was strangled to death."

"What? What did you say?" Edogawa Jinshu was shocked and angry. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the police officer by the collar. "Where is it? Take me there quickly!"

Led by the police officer, everyone came to the workshop where Kurosawa Tianan died. Edogawa Jinshu stood quietly at the door, staring at the body for a long time without saying a word. After a long time, he said: "I have avenged you."

Everyone understood the meaning of this sentence. After all, besides them, there was only one suspect in this abandoned factory. Kurosawa Tenan's death must have been caused by that suspect. And wasn't Edogawa Jinshu killing that suspect just revenge for Kurosawa Tenan?

"Okay, take the bodies out."

Edogawa Jinshu gave the order, turned around and left first. He walked out of the factory, came to Asai Aya, raised his hand to salute, and said in a deep voice, "Report to the Superintendent, there was only one gunman in the house, and he has been killed. And Inspector Kurosawa... he was unfortunately killed during the operation."

"What!" Asai Aya, who was unaware of Aoyama Hidenobu's plan, was really surprised. The death of a police inspector in one operation was already considered a major accident.

Edogawa Jinshu pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "He was attacked from behind and strangled to death with a rope. Judging from the amount of oil on the rope, it should be something from the factory."

"This, this..." Asai Aya opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just sighed and said, "Retreat."

Kurosawa Tenan, who was famous for his bravery, was ambushed and strangled to death by criminals on his first operation on the second day after he joined the Metropolitan Police Department. She felt that this was too unworthy of his reputation. If you had told her earlier that you were so incompetent, I would not have brought you out. Now I have to take the responsibility.

If not for Kurosawa Tenan being already dead.

She has to curse.

Less than five minutes after the police withdrew, a white car drove out of the darkness and stopped at the factory gate.

Then two people got out of the car and entered the factory. Half an hour later, they came out carrying a bulging bag.

The monitors inside were all removed.

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

With such a large-scale operation taking place in the Investigation Section 1, it is certainly impossible for Section Chief Hidenobu Aoyama to leave work early.

He has been waiting for news in the office.

"Boom boom boom!"

Hearing the knock on the door, he suddenly woke up from his sleepiness and shouted, "Come in."

Asai Aya and Edogawa Jinshu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Reporting to Inspector Aoyama, thanks to the information you provided, we successfully arrested an armed suspect at the scene. As to whether he is the murderer of the serial rape case, further confirmation is needed." Asai Aya raised her head and chest, saluted heroically and said.

"Very good." Aoyama Hidenobu nodded, then glanced at Edogawa Jinshu calmly and said with a smile: "It seems that the operation tonight went smoothly."

Asai Aya's face suddenly fell, and she lowered her head slowly. "Well, it wasn't that smooth actually. One person died. Inspector Kurosawa was caught off guard and was attacked from behind by the criminal and strangled to death with a rope."

"What?" Aoyama Hidenobu was stunned and stood up. His expression changed several times before he sighed heavily. "Alas, the world is unpredictable. I never thought that the brave Kurosawa would fall here. I lost a brave general!"

"It's all my responsibility." Asai Aya pursed her soft red lips and spoke softly.

"Okay, no one wants to see this happen." Aoyama Hidenobu shook his head and brushed the matter off lightly, then said, "Inspector Asai, go first, and Inspector Edogawa, stay."

"Hi!" Asai Aya immediately turned around and left.

When the office door closed, Edogawa Jinshu stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Supervisory officer."

"Yoshi!" Aoyama Hidenobu's face instantly regained its smile, and he walked around the desk and patted his shoulder heavily, "Inspector Edogawa, you really didn't disappoint me. I was worried that you were too sentimental to do it. It seems that you can distinguish the priorities. I will be more confident in handing important matters to you in the future."

"Everything is for the Inspector!" Edogawa Jinshu said firmly, clenching his fists and forcing a smile despite the guilt in his heart. "Although he and I have some friendship in the past, since he stands on the opposite side of you, the Inspector, he is irreconcilable with me!"

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Good!" Aoyama Hidenobu laughed and said three good words in a row, but a hint of mockery flashed in the depths of his eyes. He was really curious about how devastated Edogawa Jinshu would be after knowing the truth.

Then he continued, "This old man, Nakamura Ryuichi, is trying to stir up trouble for me. He really doesn't know how to live or die. I will share this good news with him tomorrow. It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone."

He said this on purpose because he wanted Edogawa Jinshu to tell Nakamura Ryuichi in person in advance that he had killed Kurosawa Ten'an. This would not only deeply torture Edogawa Jinshu, but also break Nakamura Ryuichi's heart.

"He dares to go against you, the Inspector. He is overestimating his own abilities." Edogawa Jinshu said flatteringly.

His nails were almost digging into his palms.

Aoyama Hidenobu saw all the little reactions in his body, and he felt very happy. He turned around and walked behind the desk, "Okay, you can get busy too."

"Hi!" Edogawa Jinshu really didn't want to face this bastard, so he bowed and left in a hurry.

Looking at his back, Aoyama Hidenobu picked up the water cup and took a sip, his eyes full of teasing and mockery.

Oh, if you dare to fight me, I will kill you. Do you know what it means that the devil is always stronger than the righteous?
