In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 372: Killing the Donkey and Framing Him Simultaneously
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! A woman claimed that she was raped by her boss, but our police did not investigate the truth, but instead arrested the victim for extortion! Is there any law? Is there any justice? This is ridiculous!"

Even though the door of the conference room was closed, anyone passing by the door could hear Aoyama Hidenobu's angry voice and even subconsciously slowed down their footsteps.

Afraid that the quarrel would cause the other party to suffer unexpected disaster.

"What's going on? Inspector Aoyama is usually very kind. Why is he so angry just after work in the morning?" One of the inspectors lowered his voice and asked another inspector who was squatting at the door listening to the noise.

"What else could it be? It's just what he said." Everyone who loves to eat melons has the characteristic of sharing melons with others. Standing at the door, listening to the police inspector in the corner, he was excitedly telling the story: "This morning, Police Inspector Qingshan was about to personally interrogate a suspect. When he passed by a detention room, a woman inside cried out to him."

"The woman said that she was raped by her boss while she was unconscious, and that she had preserved the other party's bodily fluids and other relevant evidence. She had intended to ask for compensation to settle the matter privately, but she didn't expect that her boss would invite her to a izakaya last night in exchange for money..."

Here he paused and took a breath.

"There's more. Tell me quickly! What happened next?" The police inspector, who was so interested in the incident, couldn't wait to ask, and he almost wanted to hold a bucket of popcorn.

"Don't worry, I'll take a breath, the main event has just begun." The police inspector, who was happy to share, had a gossipy look in his eyes and said to the crowd of people who were gathering around him, "The woman went there and found two other people in the room. One is from the First Investigation Division, whose identity I don't know yet, and the other is Nakamura Ryuichi! Ryuichi Nakamura of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office!"

He emphasized it twice, and with a dry mouth, he swallowed his saliva and continued, "The woman said that Nakamura Ryuichi and the police officer from the Investigation Division threatened her and forced her to hand over the evidence she had kept and admit that it was blackmail. Because she refused to cooperate, they forcibly arrested her last night!"

Wow!
The gathered crowd was instantly in an uproar.

"Really? It's ok for the people from the Investigation Division to coerce me, but will Prosecutor Nakamura do that?"

"Yes, that's the famous prosecutor Nakamura Ryuichi! He is known for his integrity and is as famous as our Aoyama police officer as a messenger of justice."

"You can know a person's face but not his heart. This is what they say to the public, but who knows the truth?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise how could Inspector Aoyama be so angry!" The police inspector who was happy to share further explained: "The boss suspected of rape has been arrested. He has admitted that he bribed Nakamura Ryuichi with a large sum of money to help him put pressure on the female victim. The people from the fourth department of the Intelligent Criminal Investigation Department have asked Nakamura Ryuichi to cooperate with the investigation."

At the same time, in the conference room, facing the furious Aoyama Hidenobu, all the police officers of the Investigation Section were silent and did not dare to breathe.

Edogawa Jinshu felt inexplicably uneasy because he had already given the recording to Aoyama Hidenobu. Logically, if he released the recording and then searched Ryuichi Nakamura's car for the stolen money that he had hidden last night, he would be able to bring down the other party.

But Aoyama Hidenobu suddenly held such a meeting, and he seemed to be blaming him. What was he trying to do? Didn't he do everything according to his instructions? This was not in the script!

"Edogawa Jinshu!"

At this moment, a loud shout sounded like thunder.

"Hi!" Edogawa Jinshu stood up subconsciously.

Aoyama Hidenobu looked at him coldly, and said gloomily, "Why can you still sit here with such a clear conscience? Shouldn't you be sweating profusely and feeling ashamed and terrified? Do you still think I don't know that you are the one who was bribed by the rapist together with Nakamura Ryuichi, framed the victim for blackmail, and arrested her without any procedures?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Edogawa Jinshu, it was extremely exciting.

At this moment, everyone understood.

No wonder the superintendent got so angry.

You know, Edogawa Jinshu was the one he personally transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department, which shows that he had high hopes for him. But now he has done such a thing, which is a slap in the face of Aoyama Hidenobu. It would be strange if he was not angry.

However, Edogawa Jinshu's psychological quality is really strong, and he did not show any guilt at all throughout the whole process.

At this moment, Edogawa Jinshu felt as if he was struck by lightning when he heard Aoyama Hidenobu's accusations. His mind went blank and buzzing, and he stood there in a daze.

He said something was wrong with today's meeting.

Waiting for him here!
This damn bastard Aoyama Hidenobu had been planning to get rid of him from the very beginning. He wanted to use this incident to get rid of him and Nakamura Ryuichi together, and his murder of Kurosawa Tenan would definitely be exposed later.

"Someone, take away his ID and gun immediately! I won't allow such lawless and shameless scum under my command!" Aoyama Hidenobu gave the order with a sullen face, intending to destroy the bridge after crossing it.

Edogawa Jinshu had just been transferred here not long ago and had not established any deep relationships with his colleagues.

So after hearing Aoyama Hidenobu's order, the two police inspectors on the left and right of Edogawa Jinshu stood up without hesitation, pressed him on the conference table, tied his hands behind his back, and forcibly took away his ID and gun.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Edogawa Jinshu struggled subconsciously, but to no avail. He could only vent his negative emotions, staring at Aoyama Hidenobu with a ferocious face and shouting: "Bakayaro! Aoyama Hidenobu, you damn bastard! You bastard..."

"How dare you!" Aoyama Hidenobu interrupted him before he could finish, scolding him, "You did such a shameful thing, not only do you not feel the slightest bit of remorse, but you are also rude. I think you are hopeless! Cover your mouth and take you out immediately!"

"Hey!" The two police officers who controlled Edogawa Jinshu immediately covered his mouth and dragged him out forcibly.

"Wuwuwu!" Edogawa Jinshu could only make unclear sounds, his face flushed red, and he stared at Aoyama Hidenobu. He was dragged out uncontrollably, and the hatred in his eyes almost solidified.

You can't hide the look in your eyes that wants to kill someone.

Aoyama Hidenobu looked at him and responded with a mocking look, then retracted his gaze, looked around and said expressionlessly: "As the old saying goes, a three-foot-thick ice doesn't form overnight. This is definitely not the first time that Edogawa Jinshu has been corrupted! This is the first time he has been corrupt and abused his power!"

"I failed to judge people well in the past and had certain leadership responsibilities. To make up for my mistakes, I will personally conduct a retrospective investigation of his career. Every illegal act of his will be severely punished by law!"

Edogawa Jinshu, who had been dragged to the door, was full of anger and unwillingness. How could such a shameless man as Aoyama Hidenobu have the nerve to say such things in a high-sounding manner!

It's obvious that you planned all this!

Edogawa Jinshu was so upset! He could tell with his toes that his murder of Kurosawa Tenan would definitely be the result of Aoyama Hidenobu's personal investigation, and he would never be able to turn over a new leaf.

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

Ryuichi Nakamura had no idea what happened in the Metropolitan Police Department. He was drunk the night before and was unusually late for work today, for which he felt guilty.

I warned myself that I must not drink too much next time. Otherwise, I don't know how much work I would have to delay.

"Boom boom boom!"

He had just sat down when the office door rang.

"Come in." Nakamura Ryuichi shouted without raising his head while sorting out the newly delivered documents.

As the door opened, Nobumasa Eguchi, deputy chief of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Section, walked in personally with people from the Intelligent Criminal Fourth Division, filling the office.

Hearing the chaotic footsteps and noticing that there were many people coming in, Nakamura Ryuichi raised his head with some curiosity, his eyes full of doubt, "What are you doing..."

"Prosecutor Ryuichi Nakamura, I'm Nobumasa Eguchi, deputy officer of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division. You are suspected of accepting bribes and abusing your power. Please come back with us and cooperate with the investigation." Nobumasa Eguchi said expressionlessly.

Nakamura Ryu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

He was so angry that he laughed. He slammed the document in his hand heavily on Jiangkou Xincheng's chest and asked, "You said I took bribes? I abused my power? Were you still asleep last night? Do you have direct evidence to prove it? As long as you can show it, I will go back with you voluntarily!"

It's the first time in all his years of work that someone says he took bribes and abused his power. It's ridiculous.

Even his opponent.

Nor would I use this to attack him.

Eguchi Nobumasa turned around and said, "Give it to me."

A subordinate took out a file bag and handed it over.

"The suspect Fujino has confessed to bribing you last night. This is what we just found under the back seat of your car. The amount matches the $300,000 he mentioned." Eguchi Nobumasa said in a cold voice. He returned the file bag to his subordinate and took out a recorder. He said calmly, "This was given to us by the victim Ozawa Hideharu. She carried a recorder with her last night in case of an emergency. Fortunately, you didn't find it."

After saying that, he casually pressed the play button.

"Are you Ozawa Hideharu?"

"You are Prosecutor Nakamura!"

"You still dare to be stubborn? I can tell at a glance that you are lying! I warn you, false accusations will lead to legal consequences! Do you think I can't find evidence of your slander? So, as long as you hand over the collected body fluids and other things, I will let bygones be bygones."

"Didn't you hear what Minister Nakamura said? You still want to call the police? Who do you think you can scare? I am the police... Minister, she is still not honest, why don't we arrest her for suspected false accusation first?"

"Well, catch it."

"Don't arrest me! Please don't arrest me! Prosecutor Nakamura, I was wrong! I won't dare to do that again! I don't want any compensation, and I won't sue him, wuwuwu..."

The recording stops here, and the expression on Nakamura Ryuichi's face changes several times from anger and disdain at the beginning, and then returns to anger.

"False accusation! This is a frame-up against me!"

Ryuichi Nakamura was shocked, angry, and heartbroken at the same time. Edogawa Jinshu betrayed him and cooperated with Aoyama Hidenobu to set such a trap for him. If it weren't for him, he would never be fooled so easily.

"Prosecutor Nakamura, if you are a man, you should be brave enough to take responsibility for your actions. Leave yourself some dignity. You have all the evidence, but you still insist that it is a false accusation? Take him away!"

Nobumasa Eguchi put away the recorder arrogantly.

Two of his subordinates behind him pounced on Ryuichi Nakamura like wolves and tigers, and handcuffed him.

"Let me go! Let me go! I want to see Edogawa Jinshu!" Nakamura Ryuichi yelled hysterically.

Eguchi Nobumasa sneered, "You will see him in prison. After all, he participated in the persecution of the victim with you last night, didn't he?"

When Nakamura Ryuichi heard this, he was stunned and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He thought that it was Edogawa Jinshu who betrayed and cooperated with Aoyama Hidenobu to frame him, but now he heard from Eguchi Nobumasa that the other party would also be arrested.

So what is going on?

When he was taken away by the police, there was an endless stream of people watching along the way. Some were surprised and confused, some couldn't believe it, and some had mocking expressions on their faces.

It is ironic that Ryuichi Nakamura, who was known for his integrity, fell for corruption and abuse of power.

When he was pushed out of the gate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, a group of reporters who got the news rushed up like crazy.

"Minister Nakamura! We have received news that you were arrested for taking bribes and abusing your power. Is that true? What do you want to say to the people?"

"Is this true? Or is this just a power struggle? Prosecutor Nakamura, please tell me something!"

"Mr. Policeman, do you have solid evidence? When will you make it public?"

Questions came one after another, and Nakamura Ryuichi raised his hands with a ferocious look on his face and shouted, "I am innocent! Please believe me! Please believe me! This is a shameful frame-up!"

"Our police have obtained definite evidence, otherwise we would not have arrested anyone. Please wait for further notification for the details! We will announce it to the public."

"Click!" "Click!"

The shutter sounds came one after another.
