In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 454: Peace, Fortunately I am the one who plays with them
In the private room of the Maple Leaf Club, Hirano Koji and his six companions were seated at the very end, which made them look a little weaker in momentum before they even started talking.

This arrangement may seem naive, but it works.

"Since the investigation team entered Hokkaido, our originally peaceful paradise has not had a single day of peace. The people are complaining, and it has caused a lot of trouble for our officials. Logically, we should kill all of you destroyers."

Fujimoto Takaei, who was sitting at the top, looked down at Hirano Koji and the others with an arrogant look and tone. He paused for a moment and then changed the subject, "But we are not like you, who would fight against your colleagues and step on their corpses to climb up in order to gain merit! We are kindhearted, peace-loving, win-win, and we know how to forgive others when we can. Therefore, we are willing to forgive you and give you a way out, and even let you return to Tokyo in glory without having to report your mission in vain."

At this point, he felt that the six people sitting at the end should kowtow to him to show their respect.

"Hmph! The peace you mentioned, are you referring to the serial dismemberment case, the major shooting and the proliferation of new drugs at the beginning of the year?" The hot-tempered Kameda Chong couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

“Bang!” Before Fujimoto Takaei could speak, a minister slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Kameda Chong and shouting, “Baka! Bastard! What are you talking about! You’re from Tokyo, what do you know about Hokkaido! You’re not qualified to judge Hokkaido!”

"Sit down!" Fujimoto Takaei scolded. After his subordinate sat down indignantly, he looked at Kameda Oki and said seriously, "It's inevitable that there will be accidents, but before this year, our crime rate in Hokkaido was the lowest in the country, and the crime clearance rate was the highest in the country, huh?"

"Ha!" Looking at his serious and rather proud face, it was Hirano Koji's turn to be angry. "Black and white collusion, money and power transactions, blocking the channels of speech, the people dare not call the police, there is nowhere to appeal, no case is filed if no one calls the police, and if people die, the case is closed as suicide, or someone else is framed to take the blame. The crime rate can't go down, and the crime solving rate can't go up?"

It is so terrible when power is not supervised.

"Bakayaro! You two unreasonable guys, don't you understand the situation yet? You are the ones who are defeated!" Oda Takeshi stood up and shouted angrily.

"Oda-kun, sit down." Fujimoto Takaei ordered calmly, his eyes taunting, "It's just the whining of a loser. What's wrong with letting them vent their anger? As the host, we have to show our generosity."

"Hi!" Oda Takeshi then sat down, but he still stared at Hirano Koji with an unfriendly look.

In fact, he was not that angry, but if he didn't do this, how could he show his loyalty?
Fujimoto Takaei continued his speech, "Anyway, no matter what you say, it can't change the fact that you lost, but you didn't want to lose so undignifiedly, so you need us to show mercy. Don't make it look like we are begging you to admit defeat, but we are the ones who beat you into admitting defeat!"

He said the last sentence with a laugh.

Hirano Koji had a blank expression on his face. Kameda Osamu and the other five were filled with righteous indignation and anger, but their remaining rationality made them sit still where they were.

The heart is very angry, but the body is very honest.

"Okay." Takaei Fujimoto waved his hand.

The secretary Haruno Takayoshi standing behind him nodded slightly, took out a piece of paper and walked towards Hirano Koji.

Fujimoto Takaei said calmly, "This is the list of parting gifts we gave you. Take your time to look through it."

Hirano Koji took it and looked down.

The people above are arranged according to their positions.

The highest positions are the two mayors, a city council chairman, and the director of the Health and Welfare Department of the Hokkaido Governor's Office. Below them are some middle-level and grassroots cadres, totaling more than 40 people.

"There are too few of sufficient size, most of them are just small fish and shrimps..." Hirano Koji said.

"Hirano-kun!" Fujimoto Takaei interrupted him and said forcefully, "This is the greatest sincerity we can show. There is no room for negotiation on this list. This is given to you by us, not by you. I hope you understand this! If you could find out the crimes of these people and make them confess, you wouldn't be sitting here now."

In order to allow these more than 40 people to sacrifice themselves to save the collective, the collective paid a huge price.

The cost will increase with each additional person.

"You..." Hirano Koji's face turned red, and veins bulged in his hands because he was holding the list too tightly.

Aoyama Hidenobu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Minister Hirano, please calm down. Two mayors, a speaker, and a director of a department directly under the governor's office, these four people are enough to take the blame for this incident to gain the trust of the higher-ups."

"We have thought about it for you." Fujimoto Takaei continued, "Let's say that everything was caused by the four of them. They exposed Miyauchi Jiro and smeared the investigation team, then killed Miyauchi Jiro to slander the investigation team, incited the people to protest, and took advantage of the chaos to shoot innocent people and frame the investigation team. Everything was a tragedy caused by them colluding with a small number of scums within our police force!"

"The governor and other high-ranking officials have been deceived for many years and were completely unaware of all the mistakes they made. It was the arrival of the investigation team that forced them to reveal their flaws. After the governor discovered that something was wrong, he asked our police headquarters to conduct a secret investigation on them! It is precisely because we need you to attract their attention and make them relax their vigilance that we deliberately turned a blind eye to your encirclement so that we can take the opportunity to conduct an in-depth and thorough investigation of them!"

"Finally, under the leadership of the governor and other relevant superiors, and under the strict execution of police officers including me, Aoyama-kun, Oda-kun, etc., we finally found some definite evidence of crimes committed by some of them, and arrested them immediately! Then we announced the truth to the public to resolve the crisis of the investigation team, and then announced that we would cooperate with your investigation team to dig deeper and successfully unearth more suspects and criminal facts."

"Well, this script not only reflects the ability and achievements of your investigation team, but also reflects our local support for eradicating corruption. It's a win-win situation."

After saying this, Takaei Fujimoto laughed triumphantly.

Others in the police headquarters laughed as well.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! This Minister is really smart! What a great idea! What a great idea!"

"It's good for everyone, this is what we should do. Minister Hirano, look at what you did at the beginning, remember it."

"Come on, have a drink and celebrate!"

Looking at the people with bright smiles, Koji Hirano felt a chill. Wasn't the police headquarters in front of him a microcosm of the entire Hokkaido Governor's Office?

They are all rotten to the core, abusing their power, fooling the people, deceiving their superiors, and turning Hokkaido into their own private preserve where they can reap all the profits. If this continues for long, there will definitely be big problems in this place.

He subconsciously looked up at Aoyama Hidenobu.

Aoyama Hidenobu nodded slightly with a determined look in his eyes.

Hirano Koji breathed a sigh of relief again. Fortunately, Aoyama-kun was there. With his contribution as a matchmaker this time and his outstanding personal abilities, he should be able to infiltrate the core leadership of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters.

As long as we have this nail here, we will definitely succeed in our anti-corruption efforts in Hokkaido next time!

"Okay, we'll do as you say, we'll fully cooperate!" Hirano Koji took a deep breath and said. He knew there were audio and video recordings at the scene, but he was not afraid that the other party would release it like they did to Miyauchi Jiro.

Because he is not Jiro Miyauchi. Once the local interest groups in Hokkaido do this, their collective corruption will be completely exposed to the eyes of the Tokyo cabinet ministers, which will bring an even heavier blow.

So the peace between the two sides is indeed a win-win situation.

From a personal perspective, the investigation team led by Koji Hirano won because they came to Hokkaido without paying much actual cost and were able to return triumphantly and be rewarded when they return.

But he came here on behalf of the country, and from the country's perspective, they lost miserably.

But who cares about his fucking country at this time?

That is something the ministers need to worry about.

They only need to worry about their own future! While their own interests are not violated, it is not bad to occasionally care about the interests of the country and cultivate their sentiments.

"Yoshi! He who knows the current situation is a hero! Hirano-kun is also a hero, come on, let's drink together."

"cheers!"

They partyed until midnight, and Fujimoto Takaei arranged for Aoyama Hidenobu to take Hirano Koji and the others back home.

Because he knew that Hirano Koji and others were not vigilant only when facing Aoyama Hidenobu, so he could eavesdrop on their true thoughts to prevent them from playing tricks.

On the return trip, Aoyama Hidenobu, Hirano Koji, and Kameda Osamu sat in the back seat, which was a bit crowded.

But it also showed that they had a deep friendship, especially when they had just had a drink, it was even deeper.

"Mr. Aoyama, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I'm so shameful!" Hirano Koji mocked himself.

Aoyama Hidenobu comforted him, "You are real heroes. You would rather endure your own inner torture and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback and truly eradicate corruption! What's more, there is me. I will blend in with them and then eliminate them one by one!"

Well, in the future, when eliminating dissidents, Hirano Koji and others will feel that he is fulfilling his promise.

"Aoyama-kun, Aoyama-kun, wuwuwu..."

The two grown men, Hirano Koji and Kameda Osamu, hugged Aoyama Hidenobu on the left and right, crying loudly.

After the party ended, Fujimoto Takaei called Yokomichi Mitsuo to report, and Yokomichi Mitsuo gave the next step instructions, "Just start executing."

"Hi!" Takaei Fujimoto responded respectfully.

We have to arrest a few people tonight.

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

The next morning, when people in Hokkaido woke up and turned on the morning news, they found that the day had changed again.

"Last night, the Hokkaido Police Headquarters dispatched police to many places to arrest people overnight. Many people, including the chairman of the Asahikawa City Council and the deputy chief of the Asahikawa Police Station, were arrested. The Governor's Office held a press conference overnight, and Governor Mitsuo Yokomichi made a public speech on this matter..."

"For many years, Hokkaido has been hiding a large network of corruption consisting of officials from all levels, from high to low. They have deceived their superiors and subordinates, and have long deceived the people, including the governor. The arrival of the investigation team this time made them feel guilty and exposed their flaws. The governor immediately ordered the police headquarters to conduct a secret investigation..."

"The arrested persons admitted that the three drug-addicted officials who were arrested earlier were also their members. They killed Miyauchi Jiro to smear the investigation team, incited the public to surround the investigation team, and hid in the crowd to shoot people and frame the investigation team. It was all their doing..."

"The governor calls on the public to stop besieging the investigation team headquarters. Next, the Hokkaido Police Headquarters will work with the investigation team to dig out the remaining members of this corruption group. Whether it is the big fish like senior officials or the small shrimps like black police, they must be caught in one fell swoop. Governor Yokomichi declared that Hokkaido has zero tolerance for corruption! If you find one, you will hit one, if you find a group, you will hit a group!"

After watching the news, local residents were discussing the matter heatedly.

"So that's how it is. This is horrifying. These guys colluded with each other and were able to deceive even the governor. They must all be dug out and severely punished!"

"No wonder there are so many corrupt police officers. It turns out that these scums are the ones behind this. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel, causing those good and righteous police officers to be implicated and bear the stigma and strange looks."

"Baka! How can we repair this! These damn bastards actually dared to use our sincerity to deal with the investigation team. We must get to the bottom of this!"

On the way to work, sitting in the car with the window open and listening to the occasional discussions coming from the roadside, Aoyama Hidenobu felt that this official treated the people like he was walking his dog.

The emotions of the people are also molded into any desired shape by the bureaucrats, making them laugh whenever they want, cry whenever they want, and get angry whenever they want.

"What a pitiful bunch of people!" Aoyama Hidenobu sighed with sympathy, then smiled, "Fortunately, I'm the one who's playing with them."

"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

The electric window slowly rose up, and Aoyama Hidenobu's laughing face was isolated inside the car, so that the people on the roadside could not see who was laughing.

Jin Yucheng, who was driving, suddenly had the urge to turn the steering wheel sharply and crash into the truck on the opposite side, to put an end to this corrupt official who was bringing disaster to the country and the people and to eliminate the harm to the people.

Wait! He is harming the Japanese.

That's okay. You just need to drive carefully and protect him well, and try to make him live a long life!

After all, there are not many good people like this in the world.
