In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 462: First courtesy, then force, eating insincerely, returning the original goods (7100 words, two-in-one monthly ticket request)
The only way for Asano Kamizo to recover his losses is to take back the target project, or force the person who took away the project to compensate him financially, or let the other party accept his investment in the joint development project.

It is definitely impossible to achieve these three goals through official means. After all, those shell companies can win multiple projects without anyone noticing because of their strong official relations. If he could be better than them in this regard, he would not be so passive.

So the white ones can’t come.

Then I can only come here in a black way.

As a native of Sapporo, he is a local boss and used shady means to accumulate primitive capital in the early days of the company's establishment and development.

Be confident in areas you are familiar with.

He had already investigated in advance the company called Kitahara Construction Co., Ltd. that had snatched away his favorite project. It was a small local company that had been established not long ago. It was sold last month and its current president was a young man named Ito Kanaga.

This person is very mysterious, or perhaps he is not capable of finding out his detailed background. All we know now is that he is from Tokyo, has strong working ability, and can maintain the normal operation of Kitahara Construction Co., Ltd. after taking over.

Asano Kamizo guessed that Ito Kanaga might be the son of a high-ranking bureaucrat, or the glove of some important figure, but this did not make him feel afraid. After all, sometimes a strong background does not mean everything. The bigger the background, the more concerns one has, unless the background is particularly strong, but such people are very rare.

Besides, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. As a self-made man, he knows very well that his success depends on his courage to give it all. Of course, it doesn't really matter whether he can really give it all now. The important thing is to make others believe that he can do it, and thus make certain compromises with him.

Even if it is really impossible in the end, the worst that can happen is that you just admit defeat. You can't admit defeat without giving it a try.

He planned to use courtesy before force. He planned to communicate with Ito Kanaga first, and if they couldn't reach an agreement, he would resort to other means.

So tonight he came to visit Ito Kayonaga's residence with a bodyguard and two gifts.

"You wait for me outside." Asano Kamizou instructed the driver and bodyguard, then walked to the door of Ito Kanaga's house with the gifts and raised his hand to press the doorbell.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

After a while, the back door opened. Ito Kanaga, who had just finished taking a shower and was wearing a bathrobe, looked at the uninvited guest outside the door with a puzzled look on his face, "Hello, who are you..."

Asano Kamizo is in his early forties this year. He has dark yellow skin, a buzz cut, and a face full of flesh. Even when wearing a suit, he cannot hide his rough air.

He doesn't look like a good person.

"President Ito, my name is Asano Kamizo. Please forgive me for coming here without announcing my visit." Asano Kamizo took out a business card he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it over.

Ito Kanaga took it and took a look at it. He knew that Asano Uezo was the president of Asano Construction Co., Ltd., "Excuse me, President Asano, what can I do for you?"

"Is it convenient for us to come in and talk?" asked Asano Kamizo.

Ito Kayonaga nodded and said, "Please come in."

"Hi!" Asano Jōzo bowed slightly, then took off his shoes and followed Ito Kanaga into the house, put the gift on the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa.

Ito Kashinaga poured him a glass of water and said, "There is only plain water at home, President Asano, please make do with this."

"Plain water is good, it's healthy." Asano Kamizo laughed, took the cup and took a sip.

Ito Kanaga smiled slightly, sat down on the sofa opposite him and said, "I don't know why President Asano came here so late at night. Please tell me frankly."

"Alas." Asano Uezo put away his smile, sighed, put down his water cup, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, congratulations to Mr. Ito for winning the project to build an amusement park in Dongcheng District. To be honest, I have been interested in this matter for a long time. I have been busy running around and giving many gifts. Who knew... we were not destined to be together."

Having said this, he shook his head with a sense of loss.

"I see. I'm really sorry. I didn't know that." Ito Kashinaga was stunned, then apologized repeatedly and said regretfully: "President Asano, I understand your desire to contribute to your hometown. Please rest assured that since I got this project by chance, I will definitely do a good job."

He probably guessed the other party's intention, but he could only play dumb. After all, he was just an employee and had no right to talk about these things with the other party.

"President Ito, what I mean is, can we cooperate and contribute to the construction of Sapporo together?" Seeing that the other party was playing dumb, Asano Jyouzo could only speak more directly, smiling, "President Ito came all the way from Tokyo to win this project. I believe your company must have strong funds and strength, but it is difficult to carry out engineering construction in places where there are people. If a local like me participates, the project will go more smoothly."

What this means is that if a local like me participates, the project will proceed more smoothly; otherwise, without my participation, the project will definitely be difficult to advance.

This difficulty can come from many aspects.

"I appreciate President Asano's kindness, but this is the first project our company has won in Hokkaido, and we would like to complete it ourselves. Let's have a chance to cooperate again in the future." Ito Kanaga politely declined.

He was a middle-level manager of Tono Construction Co., Ltd. When Hokkaido needed to set up some shell companies to take over the projects, they transferred a lot of people like him to be the persons in charge and obey the orders of Iida Nagakawa.

He was very clear about the company's strategy, which was to steal the jobs of local people and there was no room for cooperation.

Seeing the other party's straightforward refusal, Asano Uezo's face darkened, and he said with a fake smile: "President Ito, since you won't give me a way out, don't blame me for being rude. Do you know how much money my small company invested in the early stage to get this project? I know you have a big family, a big background, and you are not short of money, but don't leave no way out for others!"

"Today, in addition to my sincere heart, I also brought you two gifts. Either we work together to make a fortune, or you give me some money to make up for my previous losses, or... hehe."

As soon as he finished speaking, he started to unpack the two gifts on the coffee table. One was an exquisite little golden Buddha, and the other was a bright yellow bullet.

"You can choose between these two gifts, Ito-kun."

"Are you threatening me?" Ito Kanaga's face darkened and he stared at Asano Kamizo with unkindness.

Asano Uezo sneered and said in a gloomy tone, "I dare not threaten President Ito. You are a powerful man from Tokyo, and I am a small person. How dare I offend you? But you are going to force me to death, right? What's wrong? The knife is hanging over my head, and you won't let me struggle for a while?"

There was some exaggeration in what he said, but not much. In order to get the project of Dongcheng, the largest amusement park in Hokkaido, he had put almost all his family assets into it. If he couldn't make some money back, Asano Corporation would not collapse but would definitely be seriously damaged.

"I have no intention of forcing anyone to death. I came to Hokkaido just to make money in peace. But if someone insists on seeking death, I don't mind showing mercy and sending him on his way." Ito Kanaga said in a cold tone.

He knew very well who he was working for, so he was not afraid of Asano Jyouzo's threats.

Moreover, as someone who can do engineering in the highly competitive Tokyo, he is not a good person.

Asano Jyouzo knew there was no point in talking, so he picked up the golden Buddha on the table and left, saying without even turning his head, "In that case, let's wait and see."

"Bang!"

Hearing the heavy sound of the door closing, Ito Kanaga looked down at the bullet on the coffee table with a gloomy expression.

He did not report this to Iida Nagakawa because the other party only made verbal threats and did not cause any actual trouble. What if it was just talk?
They have touched the interests of many people like Asano Kamizo. It is foreseeable that there will be more threats like this in the future. They cannot defend against or fight against them all. They have to wait for people to jump out and take action, and then they will strike back at them head-on to make an example of them.

"Boss, how is it?" Outside the door, seeing Asano Uezo coming out, the smoking driver went to greet him.

"Damn it, they rely on their background to look down on us peasants." Asano Uezo looked fierce. He took the cigarette from the driver's mouth, took two puffs, threw it on the ground, crushed it with his toes, turned back and stared coldly at the closed door of the Ito family, and said sinisterly: "Make their work more difficult."

If he can build things up, he can also destroy them.

"Okay!" The driver grinned.

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

The next day, March 11th, Thursday.

In the morning, Aoyama Hidenobu invited Matsushita Iori, the daughter of Asahikawa Mayor Matsushita Yuyasu, to have coffee.

Although her family lived in Asahikawa City, Sapporo was the most prosperous city in Hokkaido, and she, like many children of local governors, had lived there for a long time.

Aoyama Hidenobu booked a private room, and when he arrived, Matsushita Iori was already inside. She seemed to like wearing tight clothes and pants, which could clearly outline the lines of her explosive figure.

For example, today, she was wearing a lavender turtleneck sweater on her upper body, which was very tight and stiff, and black trousers on her lower body. The curve of her round hips was particularly attractive, and she was wearing a pair of dark red high heels on her feet.

She has a mature figure and a mature temperament.

Like a ripe peach.

The juice will flow out with a slight touch.

"Mr. Aoyama, you made an appointment with me. As a host, it is impolite to make the guests wait for so long." Seeing Aoyama Hidenobu coming in, Matsushita Iori smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Aoyama Hidenobu smiled and said, "I failed to show courtesy to guests. I admit my mistake. But how can I get Miss Matsushita's forgiveness?"

As he spoke he walked over and sat down.

"What do you think?" Matsushita Iori smiled seductively, kicked off one of her high-heeled shoes, and stretched her little feet wrapped in flesh-colored stockings from under the table to rub against Aoyama Hidenobu.

The little feet are slender and have a perfect shape. They are slender yet plump, and not bloated at all. The already smooth skin becomes even more delicate with the help of stockings.

But Aoyama Hidenobu was unmoved, he grabbed her jade feet and said, "Let's talk business, I have a way to sow discord between your father and Akamoto Kenji."

"What method?" Matsushita Iori put her feet back into her high heels and asked curiously while stirring the coffee.

Aoyama Hidenobu stared at her and smiled without saying anything.

Matsushita Iori was stunned at first, then she widened her beautiful eyes and said, "You are not going to let me seduce Akamoto Jiancheng, and then complain to my father that he intends to violate me, right? What are you thinking about? Akamoto Jiancheng is cunning and sly, how could he be fooled?"

This was the only solution she could think of.

"Of course it's not him, but his son Akamoto Hideo." Aoyama Hidenobu shook his head and corrected.

According to the information collected by Naoki Miyashita, Akamoto Hideo was the youngest son of Akamoto Kenji. He was spoiled since childhood, self-willed, and extremely lustful.

Matsushita Iori's face was uncertain. After pondering for a moment, he slowly shook his head and said, "This trick should work on Akamoto Hideo, but it's not that simple. My father and Akamoto Kenji have a very close relationship. He will certainly be very angry if something like this happens, but as long as Akamoto Kenji shows his attitude, he can still be forgiven."

She knows her own limitations. Although her father dotes on her, he will not ignore the overall situation for her.

Not to mention that she had not actually been violated by Akamoto Hideo, even if such a thing really happened, her father would not immediately turn against Akamoto Kenji for various reasons. It was so sad.

"Of course I know that." Aoyama Hidenobu took a sip of the coffee in front of her and said confidently, "But if this happens, the subsequent development will definitely not go as your father and Akamoto Jiancheng wish. They will turn against each other under the push of my invisible big hand."

He just needs to create such a conflict and use it as a starting point to continuously expand the conflict.

"Since Aoyama-kun is so confident, I will try to cooperate with your plan." Matsushita Iori stared at his face for a while and shrugged in response.

Although this might seem like betrayal and causing trouble for her father, the money her father earned from his collaboration with Akamoto Kenji did not belong to her, but if he collaborated with Aoyama Hidenobu, she would be able to get a share of the money.

Moreover, in her opinion, this was just a change of partner for her father. Aoyama Hidenobu was more capable, and it was all for the good of her father. Aoyama Hidenobu said, "Then it's a pleasure to work with you."

"It's a pleasure to work with Aoyama-kun. I hope the cooperation will be pleasant as well." Matsushita Iori smiled charmingly, bit the coffee spoon with her delicate lips and took a sip, and her pink tongue tip slid across the spoon.

Aoyama Hidenobu cursed the little beaker inwardly and looked at his watch. "I still have work to do. I'm leaving now."

Although the signal released by Matsushita Iori is obvious.

But he really had no interest in it. During this period of time, under the arrangement of the Cleanliness Palace, he had dated all types of young ladies from official families and was a little tired of this type.

But to be honest, he still got excited when these arrogant vested interest groups cried "Yamedie", as he felt a sense of pleasure in infringing on their privileges.

"Hey! Please take care." Matsushita Iori shook his head in disappointment, put down the spoon and stood up to see him off.

While Aoyama Hidenobu was heading to the police headquarters for work, Hattori Danji, the head of the Second Section of the Criminal Investigation Division's First Investigation Division, drove to an elementary school alone.

After identifying himself as a police officer to the security guard, he successfully entered the campus, went to the sixth grade floor, and knocked on the door of one of the classes.

"Boom boom boom!"

All of a sudden, both the students and the teacher turned their heads to look at him at the door.

"Hello, teacher. Excuse me. I'm from the police headquarters. I'm looking for Sun Zexing." Hattori Danji had already seen Sun Zexing in the crowd.

Sun Zexing, who was in his teens, also saw him. He remembered this Japanese policeman who had just come to his house last night to eat buns and questioned his parents.

"Hi!" the teacher responded, looked at a round-headed boy and called out, "Student Sun."

"Hi!" Sun Zexing stood up and responded, then nervously followed Hattori Danci to the corridor outside.

Hattori Danji took out the candy he had prepared in advance from his pocket, handed it to Sun Zexing with a friendly smile on his face, and in order to get closer to him, he said in broken Chinese: "Child, come here, candy, eat candy."

As a Chinese, Sun Zexing couldn't hold back his expression when watching this scene, because he thought of the Japanese devils he saw on TV at his grandfather's house when he returned to China.

"Kid, tell me what you saw at three o'clock in the morning of January 1th. Good children should not lie. As long as you are honest, all these candies will be yours." Hattori Danji spoke word by word with difficulty. His Chinese was already considered good enough.

Because more than two months had passed since Kudo Kei disappeared, many surveillance videos on the street had already been automatically cleared, so he could only visit and investigate the residents near the factory where Kudo Kei worked one by one.

But it was early in the morning, all the shops on the street were closed, and most of the residents were resting, so there were few witnesses. However, there is always a way out.

There was a steamed bun shop run by a Chinese near the food factory. As a Japanese who could speak a few words of Chinese, he had a relatively good understanding of Chinese cuisine. He knew that the boss and his wife must have rushed from home in the early morning every day to knead the dough and make steamed buns, and perhaps they had seen Kudo Katsura.

So he went to the bun shop to question the owner and his wife. Although the owner and his wife strongly denied it and said they did not see anything that day, with his years of experience in criminal investigation, he could see that the couple were lying.

But because the other party was a foreigner, he didn't dare to use any tough measures, so he could only rely on patience.

I went to the bun shop again yesterday afternoon. This time, the boss's son was doing homework in the shop after school. Although the boss and his wife still claimed that they knew nothing, he noticed that the boss's son's expression was not right. He immediately guessed that the child might know something, so he brought a bunch of candy to the school this morning.

It is normal for foreigners to make a living in a foreign country and not want to get into trouble so they lie, but children are simple-minded and are definitely easier to deal with than their parents.

After hearing what Hattori Danji said, Sun Zexing had a conflicted expression and remained silent. He had been taught to be honest since he was a child, but his parents also sternly warned him not to tell anyone what he saw that day.

He feels very conflicted because his parents ask him not to lie on the one hand and at the same time ask him to lie on the other hand.

Hattori Danji took in all the changes in his expression and continued, "Mr. Sun, our police are catching the bad guys. If you provide clues to help us catch the bad guys, you will be a little hero. Otherwise, you will be an accomplice of the bad guys. Are you a little bad guy?"

"I'm not!" Sun Zexing denied, and added in his heart that you Japanese are the bad guys.

Hattori Danji smiled smugly and said, "I don't think you look like a bad guy, but a brave little hero. So, little hero, tell your uncle what you saw that day."

Children are kind by nature and have a strong sense of justice. After a moment's hesitation, Sun Zexing chose to tell the truth.

It turned out that he had volunteered to help his parents run the stall that day, so he got up at around two in the morning and followed his parents to the store. He saw with his own eyes a white car abducting a man in security uniform on the street.

"Is this the person?" Hattori Handanci quickly took out Kudo Kei's photo for Sun Zexing to identify.

Sun Zexing nodded repeatedly, "It's him, and I even remember the license plate number, it's XXXX."

"Yoshi! Kid, you have a great conscience!" Hattori Danji was overjoyed and praised Sun Zexing repeatedly. He stuffed the candy into his hand and pinched his face, "Hurry up and go back to class."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left impatiently.

Student Sun stood there blankly with a handful of candies in his hand. He had clearly done a good thing, but why did he have the illusion that he was a traitor and was leading the enemy?
After leaving the school, Hattori Danji immediately instructed his subordinates over the phone to check the registration information and whereabouts of the vehicle according to the license plate number provided by Sun Zexing, and he immediately found Aoyama Hidenobu to report the progress.

He understands that no matter whether it is a big progress or a small breakthrough, he must report to his leader frequently. This way, his leader will remember him and know that he is doing a good job. At the same time, it will also give his leader the satisfaction of getting feedback.

"What's so special about Kudo Kei, a security guard, that he deserves to be kidnapped?" Aoyama Hidenobu frowned and muttered to himself after listening to the report. He originally thought it was just a simple missing case, but now it seems that this case is not that simple and he needs to pay more attention to it.

Then he let out a breath, looked at Hattori Danji in front of him and praised him generously, "I really was right. Hattori-kun is indeed a capable general. Now that we have a clue, let's follow up and investigate. I am looking forward to the day when the truth comes out."

Hattori Danji saluted excitedly, "Please rest assured, Superintendent, I will never let you down!"

Aoyama Hidenobu waved his hand and sent him away.

Then I threw myself into the new work.

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

In the evening, after finishing a day's work and having dinner with colleagues, Aoyama Hidenobu returned home reeking of alcohol, "Sister-in-law, I'm back."

Although Haruko Aoyama strongly requested Aoyama Hidenobu to change his address because she had divorced Aoyama Munemasa, she could only let it go as Aoyama Hidenobu continued to do as he pleased.

Aoyama Hidenobu is a grateful person. He will not change his mind just because his elder brother and sister-in-law are divorced. In his heart, his sister-in-law will always be his sister-in-law!

"You've been drinking again." Haruko Aoyama, with her hair loose and wearing a white suspender nightgown, walked up to him, took his briefcase and coat, and helped him sit down on the sofa.

Then she poured him a cup of steaming hot tea and said softly, "Xiu Xin, sit down for a while. I'll run you a bath."

"I want you to rub my back, sister-in-law." Aoyama Hidenobu said with a smile, holding his sister-in-law's hand.

Haruko Aoyama just rolled her eyes at him but didn't refute. She pulled her hand away and turned to walk upstairs.

"Hidetoshi, come up, the water is ready." More than ten minutes later, Haruko Aoyama's voice came from upstairs.

"Hi! I'm here."

Aoyama Hidenobu put down his teacup and went upstairs.

When he opened the bathroom door, he saw a scene of thirst. His sister-in-law had tied up her black hair and fixed it behind her head. She was standing in the bathtub. Her white suspender skirt and the thin flesh-colored stockings on her legs were soaked by water. Her exquisite and graceful body was looming, and there was a layer of mist on her pink face, with a unique charm between her brows.

"What are you looking at? Come here, don't you want me to rub your back?" Haruko Aoyama said shyly.

She didn't take off her clothes because she was shy, but she didn't expect that she would look even more seductive.

Aoyama Hidenobu quickly took off his clothes and got into the bathtub.

But it wasn’t just the bathtub that went in.

There was laughter and splashing water in the bathroom.

The poor masses can only catch fish in the river, but the rich are different, they can also catch fish in the bathtub.

It's not because rich people have bigger bathtubs.

Because rich people can keep fish in their bathtubs.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Just as the two were entangled in love, there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door, followed by Elena's voice, "Sir, Iida Nagakawa brought someone to visit, saying that he has something urgent to see you."

"Please wait for me in the study." Aoyama Hidenobu, who was playing in the water with Aoyama Haruko, replied casually.

"Hi!"

About half an hour later, Aoyama Hidenobu left Aoyama Haruko lying in the bathtub, put on a burgundy nightgown, opened the door of the study and walked in.

"Watch carefully!"

Iida Nagakawa and Ito Kanaga stood up to greet them.

Aoyama Hidenobu sat down on the chair behind the desk, picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Iida Nagakawa quickly took out his lighter and bent down to help him light the cigarette, while Ito Kanaga held the ashtray in front of him.

"Hoo—" Aoyama Hidenobu took a deep breath, shook off the ashes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's about the largest amusement park project in Higashijou, Hokkaido. Two days ago, we had already reached a preliminary agreement on compensation with the people who needed to be relocated, but today many people went back on their word. Upon investigation, we found that someone was obstructing it." Iida Nagakawa took a step back, maintained a bowing posture, and said respectfully.

Aoyama Hidenobu raised his eyebrows, "Who is it?"

"Asano Kamizo." Ito Kasei quickly gave a name and further introduced, "He is the president of a local construction company. He is also optimistic about the amusement park project. Last night, he came with bullets to threaten me to compensate him for his initial investment in this project, or to cooperate with him in developing the project. I thought he was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect him to take action today."

As he finished speaking, he put down the ashtray in his hand, took out a bullet and presented it with both hands.

Aoyama Hidenobu held a cigarette in his mouth, picked up the bullet and played with it carefully, smiled contemptuously, and said three words in a calm tone: "Give it back to him."

He was not surprised that someone like this jumped out.

And he is also very clear about his attitude towards such people.

That means whoever dares to stand out first will be killed first.

He has put in so much effort and spent so much money to deal with all the bureaucrats, and if he still has to compromise with these local tyrants, wouldn't the money be wasted?
If you want to blackmail him, fine, then you have to withstand his punches first before you are qualified to talk to him about the follow-up.
