In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 453: Everyone is reporting good news, a win-win situation, the only loser is the people (asking for monthly votes)

The Hokkaido Governor's Office and the Police Headquarters are both in Sapporo Chuo Ward, not far from each other, so it only took Aoyama Hidenobu and Fujimoto Takaei just a few minutes to get there.

Don’t ask why you have to take a bus for just a few minutes. Power is reflected in these details at all times.

When the two arrived at the Governor's Office, Mitsuo Yokomichi was meeting a guest, so they were arranged to wait in the lounge.

After waiting for about three to five minutes, a young man wearing a black suit, with slicked back hair, and an ordinary appearance, estimated to be in his early thirties, walked in.

"Secretary Imamura, long time no see. Has the governor finished meeting the guests?" Fujimoto Takaei immediately stood up and greeted him with a friendly smile on his face.

Aoyama Hidenobu also quickly stood up.

"Mr. Fujimoto, let's have tea together some other day. Knowing that you are waiting, the governor hurriedly sent away the mayor of Hanguan City who came to complain about his poverty." Imamura Masafumi smiled and shook hands with Fujimoto Takayoshi, then looked at Aoyama Hidenobu, "Aoyama, you are a good police officer, I have admired you for a long time."

"This is Mr. Imamura, the secretary of Governor Yokomichi. He is the governor's confidant. Like Mr. Aoyama, he is young and promising and has a bright future. You young talents should interact more with him." Fujimoto Takaei turned his head and introduced Aoyama Hidenobu with a smile.

Aoyama Hidenobu quickly bowed slightly and said, "I have also heard of Secretary Imamura."

"Now that Aoyama-kun has come to Hokkaido, there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future. I look forward to becoming friends with you." Imamura Masafumi smiled, "Let's go, don't keep the governor waiting for too long. He is also looking forward to what good news you will bring him when you come together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and led the way.

"Hi!"

Takayoshi Fujimoto and Hidenobu Aoyama followed.

Along the way, many people stopped to greet Imamura Masafumi or took the initiative to say hello to him.

He also had a clear attitude, nodding slightly to those in lower positions and responding with a smile to those in higher positions.

After arriving at the office, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying respectfully, "Governor, Director Fujimoto and Superintendent Aoyama are here. Can they come in?"

"Well, come in."

Masafumi Imamura pushed open the door, then stood aside and raised his hand to signal Takayoshi Fujimoto and Hidenobu Aoyama to come in first.

The two of them bowed slightly to him and walked in. The latter closed the door and hurried to make tea.

"Governor!" Takaei Fujimoto and Hidenobu Aoyama walked about two meters in front of the desk and stopped to bow.

Mitsuo Yokomichi said "hmm" lightly.

The two of them then raised their heads.

"Aoyama-kun is really young!" Mitsuo Yokomichi said after staring at Aoyama Hidenobu's face for a while.

There was sighing, envy and jealousy in the tone.

People like them who are in high positions rarely envy others for their wealth, power and even personal achievements, but they always envy the age of young people.

Because they are young, they really can't get this.

But they can get a lot of young people.

Aoyama Hidenobu bowed again, "Hi! So I still have many immature aspects, and I need seniors like the governor to teach and advise me."

If he was just an ordinary superintendent, it would be very abrupt to say this, but he was a superintendent with outstanding achievements and a national reputation, and the godson of Juro Hikokawa, so it seemed humble and natural to say this.

"If there is a chance, it would be my honor to teach such an outstanding junior like Police Superintendent Aoyama." Yokomichi Mitsuo smiled, appearing approachable, and then asked, "I have heard bad news one after another recently. I hope you can bring good news."

"Hey! It's good news indeed." Fujimoto Takaei smiled and said with a happy face, "Hirano Koji can't hold on any longer. I just arranged for Superintendent Aoyama to go and test him. He agreed to the peace talks. We can arrange a few people for him to take back to Tokyo for the task."

"Oh?" Yokomichi Mitsuo raised his eyebrows, not hiding his joy, and said with a smile: "This is indeed good news! And it is the best news I have heard recently! Fujimoto-kun is good, you did a great job!"

"It's all thanks to your support, Governor, and the work of capable people like Aoyama-kun, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth." Fujimoto Takaei replied with a slight bow.

Seeing that he was clearly trying to support Aoyama Hidenobu, Yokomichi Mitsuo looked at Aoyama Hidenobu with respect, "It seems that Aoyama-kun has made a great contribution in this matter."

"Hidenobu doesn't dare to take credit for it! It's all thanks to the good leadership of this director." Aoyama Hidenobu said quickly and humbly.

Fujimoto Takaei said, "The fact that this matter was resolved so quickly was all thanks to Aoyama-kun's careful planning."

"Tell me how the plan was well-planned." Mitsuo Yokomichi became interested. The investigation team chose to back down, so he was in the mood to listen to the story.

Fujimoto Takaei turned his head and looked at Aoyama Hidenobu with a smile, "Let Aoyama-kun, the person involved, speak for himself. I'm afraid there may be some omissions."

"Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu responded, and then slowly said, "The story starts with a letter of complaint... this and this... and finally like this."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and waited for instructions.

"Hahahaha, good, good, good, Aoyama-kun is really wise and brave! He can turn disadvantages into advantages." Mitsuo Yokomichi laughed heartily after hearing this.

The more I look at Aoyama Hidenobu, the more I like him.

Old man Juro Hikokawa is very lucky. Although he has few descendants, he has a capable grandson.

Aoyama Hidenobu humbly said, "It is only thanks to the support of the governor and the director that I have the confidence to do it. Otherwise, there would be no current results."

Mitsuo Yokomichi shook his head in disbelief.

"Governor, Hirano Koji suggested that we discuss it in detail tonight. We should make an early decision on the candidates that the investigation team will take back to Tokyo for reporting. We have a total of 26 people including four superintendents who can be sent from our headquarters," said Fujimoto Takaei softly.

Mitsuo Yokomichi hesitated for a moment and said, "I will decide as soon as possible and give you a list before tonight. You can take it and discuss it with Hirano Koji. No changes will be allowed."

They now have the absolute advantage, and certainly have no right to bargain with the investigation team on how to proceed.

Either surrender or die. "Hi!" Takaei Fujimoto bowed in response.

Mitsuo Yokomichi looked at Aoyama Hidenobu again and said, "Follow Director Fujimoto and work hard. I have high hopes for you."

"Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu also bowed in response.

Mitsuo Yokomichi waved his hand.

The two men immediately turned and left.

Imamura Masafumi opened the door for the two of them and said, "Have a nice day."

"Hey! Secretary Imamura, please stay."

"Imamura." Mitsuo Yokomichi shouted.

After closing the door, Imamura Masafumi walked over quickly.

"Urgently notify all the ministers of the Governor's Office, the mayors of all city halls, and the chairmen of the provincial and city councils to come to the Governor's Office for a meeting at 3 pm." Mitsuo Yokomichi picked up the tea on the table, drank it all, and gave the order.

Anyway, he has set a time, and everyone must arrive on time. Of course, with such a rush, some people are bound to be unable to arrive. Those who cannot arrive will just have to wait to be sacrificed to the investigation team.

Two heavyweights must be sacrificed to make the anti-corruption efforts of the investigation team appear to be successful, so that the people and the higher-ups will think that they have dealt a heavy blow to the corrupt interest groups in Hokkaido and will stop fighting from now on.

Otherwise, if the higher-ups are always keeping an eye on Hokkaido, how can they live their previous carefree lives?
....................................

Aoyama Hidenobu and Fujimoto Takaei had just informed Mitsuo Yokomichi of the good news, while at the same time Hirano Koji was also informing Juro Hikokawa of the good news.

"Minister Hikokawa, my name is Hirano Koji."

"Hirano-kun, what's the matter?" Juro Hikokawa on the other end of the line sat up straight subconsciously. He was really afraid of hearing some bad news from the investigation team again.

"Minister, please buy us more time. We will be able to solve the current problem soon!" Hirano Koji said in an excited and confident tone.

When Hikokawa Juro heard this, he knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and he was very happy. He couldn't wait to ask, "Hirano-kun, what's going on?"

"It's all thanks to you, Minister." Hirano Koji said sincerely with a smile, "Thanks to Superintendent Aoyama, we were blocked from leaving the house and the local evil forces were careless. Superintendent Aoyama took the opportunity to find some important clues. Please allow me to keep you in suspense about the details. I will report to you in person when I take those corrupt officials back to Tokyo."

He hasn't figured out how to edit it yet.

"Yo, seeing that Hirano-kun is so confident, I will wait for good news. I will celebrate for you in person when you return to Tokyo!" Hikokawa Juro was in a good mood.

I didn't expect that the situation that had taken a sharp turn for the worse actually had a chance to turn around. What a great grandson!

Because the commotion in Hokkaido was too big.

Some of his political opponents have used this as an excuse to accuse him of taking responsibility for the chaos in Hokkaido, but he has not made any substantive counterattacks other than some high-sounding remarks.

There is no way. The people below are not doing their job well, and the people above are not confident in what they say. By the same token, if the people above are not confident, the people below will not have the confidence to do their job.

Hirano Koji solemnly agreed: "Hi!"

After hanging up the phone, Hikokawa Juro immediately called Aoyama Hidenobu, "Hidenobu, Hirano Koji just called me and said that thanks to you, the investigation team now has a chance to turn defeat into victory. You did a great job and lived up to my expectations."

"It's all my duty. I don't have much friendship with Hirano Koji, but you are my grandfather! If I don't help him, I have to help my family." Although Aoyama Hidenobu didn't know what Hirano Koji said specifically, he could guess roughly, so he answered without any mistakes.

Hikokawa Juro was very happy, and Aoyama Hidenobu's words made him even happier. After all, Aoyama Hidenobu not only said it, but also did it. In a good mood, he said: "You work hard in Hokkaido. No matter when, you still have your grandfather to support you."

"Hi! Thank you grandpa, Hidenobu will never embarrass you!" Aoyama Hidenobu answered obediently.

This time, the matter of secretly hiding the account book was completely forgotten, and he became his grandfather's good grandson again.

Hikokawa Juro mentioned another thing, "I will have my birthday next month, Hidenobu, you must come back."

"Hey! Don't worry, Grandpa. I will definitely prepare a big gift for you." Aoyama Hidenobu quickly agreed.

Hikokawa Juro could not deny it, "It doesn't matter whether it's a big gift or not, we are family, as long as they come back, that's enough."

"Hey! Grandpa is very busy, I won't disturb you for now?" Aoyama Hidenobu said tentatively.

"Yeah." Juro Hikokawa hung up the phone.

"du~du~du~"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Aoyama Hidenobu, who was sitting in his office chair, chuckled, put the phone on the table, and crossed his arms, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, there is still a lot for me to show my respect for you. Just wait and see what I can do."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Hiroshi Hirano, Osamu Kameda and six other core members of the investigation team sneaked out of the back door of the hotel and got into several cars waiting on the roadside.

After arriving at the Maple Leaf Club, the second home of the top executives of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, the six were led to a luxurious and elegant private room. Inside the room, Takaei Fujimoto and a group of top executives from the headquarters had been waiting for a long time.

"Only you?" Hirano Koji was obviously stunned when he saw Fujimoto Takaei. He thought he would meet someone of a higher level tonight.

Fujimoto Takaei sat there without getting up, and said with a half-smile: "What else? Who else do you want to talk to besides me? Hirano-kun, look in the mirror and see what you look like, you loser. Are you worthy of it?"

During the whole process, it was their police force that was in direct conflict with the investigation team. The others did not show up at the beginning, and now that the matter is about to be settled, they will naturally not show up.

"Minister Hirano, Minister Fujimoto has full authority to make the decision. Please take a seat." The middleman Aoyama Hidenobu quickly stood up to smooth things over.

Hirano Koji snorted coldly, and with a gloomy face, he led his men to sit down in the empty seats.
