Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"Hideyuki, I've found a new target!"

"And this time, they're really rich! Genuine old money!"

Chapter 106 Kikuri-chan Wants to Travel with a Fox

When Hoshino Hideyuki arrived at Inuyama Tetsuya's house, he immediately saw a mountain of documents stacked half a meter high on the table as soon as he entered.

His mouth dropped open in astonishment:

"My goal this time isn't just one person, but the entire football team plus the coach?"

"No, no, no."

Inuyama Tetsu poked his head out from behind the pile of documents and said, "It's just that the crime committed by this target was committed a long time ago, more than 30 years ago. It involves many victims and two lawsuits, so there are a lot of materials."

"However, most of it is just background information. Because a long time has passed, the issues have basically been resolved. You just need to have a general understanding..."

Hideyuki Hoshino smacked his lips and looked at the top few pages.

"The Xize Dairy poisoning incident... Xize Yeye? This brand of beverage is very common in convenience stores."

Inuyama Tetsu explained, "Yes, that's actually the problem. Well, let me start from the beginning..."

"35 years ago, many mothers in Kyushu found that their babies were becoming listless and irritable, accompanied by symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and darkening of the skin."

"After investigation, it was confirmed that they were poisoned because they drank milk powder produced by Xize Milk."

“At that time, Nishizawa Milk did not invest enough in the cold chain, so it would add sodium phosphate as a milk stabilizer when processing milk powder. In order to further save costs, the branch factory in Kyushu even used inferior sodium phosphate mixed with arsenic (the main component of arsenic trioxide).

"As a result, within a year, this batch of milk powder caused the deaths of 32 infants and left thousands of infants with varying degrees of sequelae."

"The matter was so egregious that it naturally caused a nationwide uproar."

"The parents of the victims spontaneously organized themselves and formed the Milk Powder Victims Alliance, and began to defend their rights."

"However……"

Inuyama Tetsu sighed and said:

"Xize Emulsion has no intention of obediently admitting its mistakes."

"They bribed the media to suppress the heat and colluded with local councilors. In the end, only a mid-level workshop manager was punished, and the compensation given to the parents was only a fraction of what the parents had asked for."

“They even required parents to undergo medical examinations at designated hospitals before receiving compensation, taking the opportunity to forcibly diagnose hundreds of infants with sequelae as healthy or born with disabilities, thereby reducing compensation.”

"In the end... they succeeded, so you can still see their products in convenience stores."

"Now that time has passed, almost no one remembers their evil deeds."

"Even for me, it was only a couple of days ago that I met a victim who was already gray-haired but still persisting in the lawsuit, which reminded me of this incident that happened before I was born. To be honest, I'm very glad that I was born two years later, otherwise I'm afraid I would have become a victim too..."

Hideyuki Hoshino nodded, not at all surprised by this development.

Where upper-class individuals can collude with cults on a large scale, you can't count on them for anything.

Then, Inuyama Tetsuya pulled out a photo. It showed a square-faced man who looked to be in his fifties with half-black and half-white hair.

"George Nishizawa is the grandson of Nishizawa Haruno, the founder of Nishizawa Dairy. He is now the chairman of several companies in the Nishizawa Group and the true leader of the group."

"Thirty-five years ago, he worked in his grandfather's company, managing the Kyushu region. In other words, he was the culprit who should be held responsible for everything."

"Actually, his father, his grandfather, and a group of high-ranking officials should also be held responsible, but too much time has passed and they have all died, leaving only him."

"Anyway..."

Inuyama Tetsuya stood up and bowed deeply, saying:

"Xiuxing, can I entrust this person to you?"

Hideyuki Hoshino stretched out his claws and grabbed the photo.

"no problem!"

"Let me eat him up!"

For the next three days...

Hoshino Hideyuki didn't have time to do anything else; he was busy reading the materials Inuyama Tetsu had given him.

Even if the background information is already established, it's still necessary to go through it again.

After all, Nishizawa George wields considerable power and his personal wealth exceeds $15 billion, making him a true upper-class figure in Japan, quite different from minors like Kasuga Kaito, a male host, or Kondo Nozomi.

To deal with this kind of person, thorough preparation is still necessary.

of course.

While reviewing the materials, Hoshino Hideyuki's mind was also working, and he had already begun to formulate a plan.

So on that day, he invited the female accomplice to help him film some videos as props.

After the filming was finished, Kikuri Ijichi asked curiously:

"What's the use of this thing?"

Hideyuki Hoshino explained, "If you want to fish, in addition to putting bait on the hook, you also need to create a lot of baiting around the area. This video is about baiting."

what……

do not understand at all.

However, not wanting to be seen as an idiot, Ichikichi feigned sudden realization and changed the subject before the fox could finish his sentence:

"Speaking of which, you've been packing your bags lately. Are you going on a long trip?"

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded, took out his phone, and showed the ticket booking page to the accomplice:

"My goal for the next twenty days is to travel to Dubai on this luxury cruise ship, the Monbo."

"I plan to board the ship."

"That way, we can both fool the rich and take a vacation at the same time. Doesn't that sound perfect?"

Looking at the smiling fox, Iji Chikichi remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Um, Hideyuki... this time, could you take me with you?"

"Ah?"

Hideyuki Hoshino never expected that Kikuri Iji would make such a request.

Seeing Hoshino Hideyuki hesitate, Iji Chikiku lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

One reason she wanted to become stronger was to work alongside the fox and become a more competent accomplice.

However, she is also very self-aware.

Although he had practiced the Musou Shinjutsu style, it was too short a time, and he was still within the realm of ordinary people. He couldn't really help Hoshino Hideyuki, and might even increase the latter's chances of being exposed...

Thinking of this, she finally gave an awkward laugh and turned her head away:

"Haha, I was just saying, if it's inconvenient, then forget it! Hmm! Never mind!"

Hideyuki Hoshino curled his lip.

There's nothing particularly inconvenient about it...

Bringing it or not is fine...

At that moment, seemingly propelled by some unseen force, the scales of hesitation in Hoshino Hideyuki's heart tipped to one side.

He raised an eyebrow, shook the Kaiyuan Tongbao coin strung on the end of his tail, and nodded, saying, "Alright, you'll come with me this time!"

"Hey? Hey! That's great!"

Kikuri Iji looked up in disbelief, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hideyuki Hoshino continued, "But this trip will take more than half a month, what will you do about your performance hall?"

Kikuri Ichi immediately lowered her head again, then took a deep breath, took out her phone, and dialed Yui Sakai's number.

"Yui-chan..."

"Huh? More than twenty days? That doesn't make sense at all, and I'm not cut out to be a store manager..."

Sakai Yui's shocked voice came from the other end of the phone—it was unexpected that the usually lazy and easygoing Sakai could speak in such a tone, which Hoshino Hideyuki found quite amusing.

Kikuri Ijichi forced herself to say, "Please help me out, I'll negotiate the wages afterwards..."

"This isn't about the salary... Wait, you said you're going on a cruise ship, who are you going with? Che-kun?"

In less than half a second, Sakai Yui's tone became firm, like a black supporting character in an old Hollywood movie holding a grenade to cover the protagonist's retreat.

"In that case, you can go with peace of mind, Kiku-chan. Even if a thousand yakuza thugs come charging at you with blood-dripping katanas, I, Sakai Yui, will protect the exhibition hall for you!"

"Ah, no, if something like that really happens, you should call the police first..."

Soon, Kikuri Ijichi hung up the phone and looked excitedly at Hideyuki Hoshino:

"It's done!"

"Hideyuki-kun, I look forward to your guidance on the rest of the cruise!"

Chapter 107 The Fox: Young people, stay away from gambling and drugs!

Two days later.

The day the Mengbo set sail.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Hideyuki Hoshino knocked on the door of Kikuri Iji's room.

Almost immediately, the latter opened the door.

Today, she wore a black turtleneck sweater as a base layer, with a beige trench coat on top. Her lower body was covered by jeans that revealed her fair ankles and a pair of black peep-toe heels. Her pink toes peeked out from the tips of her shoes, seemingly both shy and provocative.

This outfit was less individualistic and rebellious than her usual style, but it accentuated her tall figure and brought out her elegance.

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled, his eyes narrowing: "Very pretty, she has the feel of a fashion magazine cover girl, honestly~"

Kikuri Ijichi raised her chin with obvious satisfaction.

Of course!

I spent two days choosing!
