In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 451 Colleagues killing each other, this farce should end (ask for monthly ticket)
Regarding the chaos in Hokkaido.

Tokyo is also in a difficult situation.

Juro Hikokawa could guess that this must be the result of a counterattack by local forces, which showed that the local area had become a mess. If the investigation team was transferred back like this, it would only further encourage their arrogance.

So he wanted to wait a little longer. Hirano Koji was the general he appointed personally, and he wanted to give him a chance.

If he returns in such disgrace now, Hirano Koji's political career can basically be declared over.

Moreover, he was the one who led this matter, so Hirano Koji's failure will naturally be blamed on him.

Even if only partial results are achieved, Hirano Koji can be considered a meritorious official, and it can also serve as a warning to local corrupt officials.

Three days. This is the time that Juro Hikokawa left for himself and also for Koji Hirano. If he still can't come up with any solution after three days.

Then we can only sacrifice him to appease the public anger and official resentment.

Grassroots stability is more important than anything else!
In this incident, he was somewhat surprised by Aoyama Hidenobu's performance. According to Hirano Koji's feedback, Aoyama Hidenobu had been cooperating and helping the investigation team, and was therefore excluded from the core by local forces. It was also because of this that he was unable to get any news of this incident and inform the investigation team in advance.

Hirano Koji also said that Aoyama Hidenobu always mentioned the words "godfather" on his lips, and the reason he supported the investigation team was entirely out of filial piety to his godfather.

Since Aoyama Hidenobu helped so much, of course Hirano Koji would speak well of him to Hikokawa Juro.

Juro Hikokawa originally thought that given Aoyama Hidenobu's personality, he would be prudent and protect himself and provide limited help to the investigation team, but he didn't expect that this would not be the case.

It seems that the last incident of secretly hiding the account book made him realize his mistake, and he realized that he is his eternal supporter, so he tried every means to make up for it. But no matter what the motive is, he likes Aoyama Hidenobu's attitude anyway.

This grandson is worth cultivating vigorously.

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

At night, the crowd outside the investigation team's headquarters had decreased a lot, but there were still two or three hundred people spending the night there. Among them, only a small number of people who stayed there voluntarily, and the rest were people arranged by the police.

The main purpose is to prevent the investigation team from leaving the house.

They sat in the cold wind, and some kind-hearted people brought them quilts to keep them warm and warm food.

Because of the quilt distribution, a lot of poor people came to sit in protest, so by the second half of the night, the number of people outside the hotel increased instead of decreased.

There were also sit-in protests in front of the Hokkaido Governor's Office and City Hall, demanding that the government give justice to the three innocent people who died in front of the investigation team's door.

This was of course directed and acted by local bureaucrats themselves.

The purpose is to show Tokyo that the trouble caused by the investigation team has seriously affected local work.

In a dim rental house, two young men in sweaters had sad faces. They were Inoue and Ishitoshi, who had just finished a phone call with Hirano Koji.

On the phone, Hirano Koji said that they were now the only available force in the investigation team, and asked them to inform him of any information from the outside world at any time.

Obviously, Hirano Koji still wants to struggle with these two cases to see if he can wait for the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and he is unwilling to admit defeat.

But Inoue and Ishitoshi were not optimistic about this. However, as two pawns, they had no say in the overall situation and could only choose to obey orders.

It was late at night and the two fell asleep with sorrow in their hearts.

More than an hour after they turned off the lights, four furtive figures came to their door, fiddled with the door lock for a while, pushed the door open quietly, walked in, and pulled out a dagger that was shining coldly.

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

They were all killers arranged by Fujimoto Takaei.

With the exact names in hand, the two people's address information was found out that afternoon.

The four killers arranged by Takaei Fujimoto are all special police officers with strong psychological qualities and extraordinary skills.

After entering the house, the leader made a few hand gestures commonly used when carrying out a mission. The other three understood what he meant and approached each bedroom in groups of two.

The movements are flexible and the cooperation is tacit.

After arriving at the bedroom door, one person hid by the wall with a knife, and the other person gently pressed down the door handle and pushed the door open a crack. After making sure that the door could be opened, the two groups of people acted at the same time, kicked the door open roughly and rushed in.

"Bang!"

"Who are you...ah!"

Inoue and Ishihisa were awakened and before they could take out the guns from under their pillows, someone jumped on them and pinned them down on the knife bed, stabbing them in the neck with a dagger.

puff!

The blade pierced through the flesh and was completely embedded, leaving only the handle exposed. Scarlet warm blood slowly seeped out from the connection between the blade and the handle and soaked through the clothes.

Inoue and Ishishou, who were pinned to the bed and stabbed in the neck, stared with wide eyes at the figure riding on them. From the technique and temperament, they knew that the other party was their colleague, and they felt extremely sad in their hearts.

"I'm sorry." The man riding on Inoue covered his eyes with his hands, pulled out a dagger from his throat, and stabbed him again.

Shi Shou on the other side suffered the same fate. He was stabbed several times and his throat was cut. Both of them died on the spot, and their blood stained the sheets and quilts red.

The four men rummaged through the drawers and disguised the scene as a home robbery and murder before escaping.

The strong and pungent smell of blood aroused the suspicion of a neighbor who was passing by after his night shift, so he called the police.

The next day, the case was reported on the morning news.

"Yesterday morning, a man in the East District smelled a strong smell of blood when he passed by his neighbor's house after a night shift and called the police. The police on duty at the nearby police station rushed to the scene and found two male corpses lying in a pool of blood after breaking the door. There were footprints everywhere in the house, and there were signs of rummaging through the cabinets. The deceased's wallets, mobile phones and other valuables were all missing. The initial speculation was that it was a burglary and murder. The police reminded the general public that the security situation has been poor recently and they must pay attention to safety..."

"Dang!" Koji Hirano, who was eating breakfast, looked at the photo of the deceased in the news. The chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground. He forgot to swallow the food in his mouth. He stared blankly at the TV screen, and his lips began to tremble.

Kameda Oki, who was in a bad mood, had no interest in this kind of criminal case, but when he saw Hirano Koji's expression, he subconsciously looked in the direction of his gaze out of curiosity, and then also stood there in a daze.

"Bakayar!" Hirano Koji once again smashed the bowl and chopsticks in anger and stood up, trembling all over. Tears immediately flowed down his face uncontrollably, and he cursed with a red face: "What a bunch of unscrupulous bastards!"

He didn't believe it was a coincidence. It must have been done by the local bureaucracy. They were demonstrating against him.

It is also cutting off his tentacles that contact the outside world.

The other members of the investigation team were unaware of the situation and looked at each other in bewilderment at Hirano Koji who suddenly became angry.

"Mr. Hirano, calm down. I'll help you go back to your room to rest." Kameda Chong took a deep breath to suppress his grief and anger, and went to support Hirano Koji.

Hirano Koji was like a walking corpse, crying and cursing, and was helped back to the room by Kameda Osamu.

At this time, his emotions had stabilized a little, and he suddenly said: "Kameda-kun, we have been forced into a dead end, do you think we still have a chance?"

"This..." Kameda Chong's expression froze. He didn't want to say anything discouraging, so he could only choose to keep silent.

"No, no, we are now suspected of corruption and murder, and we can't even leave the house. What chance do we have?" Hirano Koji laughed bitterly, his face full of despair. "I thought this mission would be difficult, but I never thought it would be so difficult. I can't even withstand their counterattack."

"We only have so many people, and they cover all aspects of Hokkaido. Hirano-kun, you have done a great job. Even if someone else comes, the result will not change." Kameda Chong comforted him.

Hirano Koji's face was filled with resentment. He punched the armrest of the chair hard and said with gritted teeth, "But I won't bow to them! I won't! I can't do it, I... cough..."

Because he was too excited, he suddenly started coughing violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

"Hirano-kun! Hirano-kun, calm down!" Kameda Oki hurried forward and patted his chest gently.

Hirano Koji finally recovered and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He leaned back and breathed deeply, "But don't bow your head. The situation here will only get more and more chaotic. When Tokyo can't bear the pressure anymore, they will definitely throw us out to calm the public anger."

"These fools! Their knowledge is worthy of their suffering! They deserve to be exploited and used by these corrupt officials!" Kameda Chong said angrily.

Hirano Koji shook his head. "That's not the case. The information that the public sees is deliberately released by them. Without enough information channels to judge the truth or falsehood of a matter, it is inevitable that they will be used by conspirators. They are also innocent."

It’s not that the people are too stupid, but that the bureaucrats are too bad.

"Alas!" Kameda Chong sighed and said unwillingly: "Then we can't just sit there and wait to be sacrificed, right? What have we done wrong?"

Koji Hirano remained silent. He was unwilling to be sacrificed, but he was also unwilling to admit defeat.

It happened too fast. They had always held the initiative, but because that idiot Miyauchi Jiro was bribed, the good situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Even if it is just a screw, as long as it is in a critical position and becomes loose, it can cause the entire machine to collapse.

The conversation between the two was relayed to Takayoshi Fujimoto by the technical department who was monitoring them, and Fujimoto Takayoshi was very happy.

He immediately called Aoyama Hidenobu over, played the recording for him, and said with a hearty laugh as if he were a winner: "Our team leader Hirano wants to admit defeat but can't let go of his dignity. In that case, let's give him a way out. It's time for Aoyama-kun to take action."

The time has come. Hirano Koji has been beaten to a bloody pulp. First the soldiers, then the courtesy. The investigation team has already seen the soldiers, now it's time to use the courtesy.

"Don't worry, Director, let me end it all. This farce has come to an end, and it's time to end it." Aoyama Hidenobu said with a calm smile and full of confidence, as if he had everything under control.

Fujimoto Takaei patted his shoulder and said, "Aoyama-kun has made great contributions to our success this time. I will wait for you to return triumphantly at the headquarters. Then we will go together to report the good news to the governor."

"Thank you for your support and care, I will never let you down!" Aoyama Hidenobu bowed, then stood up and turned to leave.

Fujimoto Takaei looked at Aoyama Hidenobu's back with a smile, and felt that he had made a great fortune by having Aoyama Hidenobu come to Hokkaido, and that he would be even more powerful in the future.

Moreover, he had complete confidence in Aoyama Hidenobu and was not afraid that the other party would threaten his position in the future.

Because the stage for people like Aoyama Hidenobu is in Tokyo, not in Hokkaido, and by the time he returns to Hokkaido to serve as the head of the headquarters, it will be time for me to retire.

So he didn't mind introducing him to Mitsuo Yokomichi, because he was cultivating a friend with a bright future, not a powerful opponent.

But he could never have imagined that Aoyama Hidenobu had a rebellious nature. Apart from women, he naturally did not like anyone to put pressure on him. Before coming to Hokkaido, he had been thinking about usurping his power as the minister.

So what he is cultivating now are not friends.

But your future enemy.
