In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 192 Aoyama Hidenobu: It turns out that your mother was stolen

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

On the morning of August 8, Aoyama Hidenobu was awakened by a ringing phone and he answered it in a daze.

"Moshimoshi, I'm Aoyama Hidenobu."

"Mr. Aoyama, my name is Kimura. I have already convinced three banks, and together with our Agricultural and Forestry Bank, there are four in total. When do you think Mr. Hikokawa would be available?" Kimura Iekazu's voice was full of enthusiasm.

After all, he has his father-in-law as his backer, and this time he has brought such good business to the bank. As long as Nohara Financial Co., Ltd. develops stably, all senior executives will be able to reap long-term benefits. Shouldn't they repay him?

Aoyama Hidenobu's sleepiness instantly disappeared without a trace, and he sat up from the bed, "I will report to Master Hikokawa right away, and call Kimura-kun back later."

"Hey! Then I'll wait for good news."

After hanging up the phone, Aoyama Hidenobu immediately called Hikokawa Kentomo, "Brother Kentomo, did I disturb your rest? Kimura said that he has already negotiated with three banks, plus Agricultural and Forestry Bank, a total of four. I want to ask when you are free to meet with them for a meeting."

Banks are not like gangs, where Kentomo Hikokawa must be present in person to have enough weight to suppress them.

"Let's do it tonight. You arrange it and just let me know the location and time." Yanchuan Xianyou said calmly.

"Hi!" Aoyama Hidenobu responded. After the other party hung up the phone, he immediately got dressed and washed up.

When I went downstairs, my sister-in-law was already making breakfast.

Seeing Aoyama Hidenobu, Aoyama Haruko seemed a little unnatural, her pretty face blushed, "Morning, Hidenobu."

"Good morning, sister-in-law." Aoyama Hidenobu responded, and then said, "No matter where you go next, you must take Elena with you, otherwise I will be worried."

"Hi!" When Haruko Aoyama heard the word "Elena", the other party's babbling voice last night echoed in her mind again, and she couldn't block it out even when wrapped in a quilt.

She couldn't help but look at Aoyama Hidenobu with some resentment in her eyes. He clearly already had a fiancée, but he was flirting with me while having an ambiguous relationship with his female bodyguard.

Soo-shin is also bad.

Aoyama Hidenobu was puzzled by her look, "Sister-in-law, is there something dirty on my face?"

"Ah! No." Aoyama Haruko quickly shook her head and turned to the kitchen. "Hidetoshi, watch TV for a while. Breakfast will be ready soon."

After breakfast, Aoyama Hidenobu went to the Metropolitan Police Department to work. After arriving, the first thing he did was to notify the dozen or so department heads under him to go to the conference room for a meeting.

The content of the meeting is not important. The main thing is to make them realize that they are leaders by making things difficult for them.

Since he had extensive experience as a leader before his promotion, he had already fully grasped the essence of being a leader, and power was reflected in constant tossing.

When everyone arrived.

He was the last one to enter the conference room.

"Police officer!" Everyone stood up at once.

Aoyama Hidenobu walked to the main seat, sat down, raised his hand and said calmly: "Everyone, please take a seat."

Then more than a dozen people took their seats.

"The main purpose of today's meeting is to communicate with everyone. After all, I have just taken over my current position. Only by communicating more with everyone and understanding everyone's ideas, and working together, can we do a better job. First of all, we..."

As Aoyama Hidenobu spoke, his eyes slowly swept over the crowd. Seeing that everyone was sitting upright and some even took out pens to take notes, he felt very satisfied.

The next second, he raised his eyebrows, looked at the obviously distracted Special Crimes Department Chief Miki Ichiro and said coldly: "Inspector Miki, do you have any problem with me?"

"Ah?" Miki Ichiro came back to his senses after being kicked by his colleague next to him, "No...no."

"Then why don't you listen to me carefully, Miki-kun?" Aoyama Hidenobu looked at him unfriendlyly. As a new official, he wanted to use this troublemaker to establish his authority.

Miki Ichiro certainly understood this truth. He didn't want to be killed as an example, so he quickly stood up and explained, "Superintendent, please understand. I was distracted because my father's tombstone was stolen."

Everyone in the conference room was stunned.

Si Guoyi, what a novel excuse!
"It's really lost!" Miki Ichiro was anxious when he saw that no one believed him. He said angrily, "The cemetery manager called me this morning. I went over and saw that the tombstone was gone. I seriously suspect that the criminals I caught did this out of revenge."

After all, who among ordinary thieves would steal tombstones?

“Uh…” Aoyama Hidenobu was confused and didn’t know what to say. He said dryly, “It’s fine as long as the person is still here.”

"There's no problem with the tomb, the person should still be there. I would like to thank you for your concern on behalf of my father." Miki Ichiro bowed to Aoyama Hidenobu and said sincerely.

Aoyama Hidenobu twitched his lips, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, cleared his throat and continued: "The meeting continues. I will mainly talk about three points today."

Everyone was immediately cheered up and showed joy. If there were only three points to be discussed, it would definitely be fast.

Two hours later, the meeting ended.

Everyone, including Asai Aya, felt like they were screwed, and there were only three points that were correct.

But this involves six aspects, nine details, and twelve points of attention... Damn!

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

It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in." Aoyama Hidenobu said without even raising his head.

Miki Ichiro hurried in and said anxiously, "Superintendent, something big has happened!"

"What's the matter, Miki-kun? Your mother's tombstone was also stolen?" Aoyama Hidenobu looked up and asked with concern.

Miki Ichiro's expression froze, "My mother left me and ran away with someone else when I was very young."

"So your mother was stolen." Aoyama Hidenobu suddenly realized and a look of sympathy appeared on his face.

Ichiro Miki: “…………” Why does this sound weird?
"Inspector, the son of Senator Nozawa has been kidnapped." Ichiro Miki started talking about business.

Aoyama Hidenobu's face turned serious, "Where are the people?"

"In the reception room. Director Renping asked me to call you over." Miki Ichiro answered respectfully.

Aoyama Hidenobu immediately stood up and walked out.

Ichiro Miki hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at the lounge, Aoyama Hidenobu saw Nihei Kunio comforting a middle-aged man with sunken eyes, a tired face, and slightly graying temples.

It is Nozawa Katsuri, a senator who was just elected last month. This is his second term.

"Inspector Aoyama." Seeing Aoyama Hidenobu, Nozawa Katsuri took the initiative to stand up and greet him, obviously placing all his hopes of rescuing his son on him.

After all, Aoyama Hidenobu's name is quite intimidating.

Aoyama Hidenobu quickly bent down slightly, stepped forward quickly and held Nozawa's hands with both hands, "Hello, Councillor Nozawa, please sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

"My son was kidnapped. The robbers took the money but didn't release him!" Nozawa Shengli held Aoyama Hidenobu's hand tightly and sat down, saying anxiously: "Inspector Aoyama, please help me rescue my son. I will reward you handsomely afterwards. I only have one son!"

"Congressman Nozawa, calm down. Our Inspector Aoyama is the best detective in the Heisei era. He will definitely catch the robber." said Nihei Kunio.

Never miss an opportunity to flatter someone.

Aoyama Hidenobu said, "Did Councillor Nozawa just say that your family has given the money to the robbers?"

"Yes, we sent the money after receiving the extortion call, but we said we would send the person back this morning but he has not been seen for a long time!" said Nozawa Shengli.

He didn't care about money, he only cared about his son, so after receiving the extortion call, he did not call the police for the sake of his son's safety, but conducted the transaction honestly.

Aoyama Hidenobu pondered for a moment, sighed, and said in a low mood: "If the bandits had not received the money, you might still be alive, but the bandits have already received the money, so I'm afraid it's very dangerous."

If the hostage was not killed, why would there be any need to make a fuss after the money was received? Of course, the hostage should be released immediately, but if the hostage was not released, it only means that the hostage is already dead.

You can't be trying to blackmail me again, right?

"This... this..." Nozawa Shengli had obviously thought of this a long time ago. With tears streaming down his face, he tightly grasped Aoyama Hidenobu's arm and said through gritted teeth, "No matter what, I must see his body, alive or dead. Inspector Aoyama, please make sure to catch the gangster who kidnapped my son!"

You're a fucking idiot. You didn't call the police when the kidnapping happened. Now the criminals have been paid. How can I catch them? Where can I find clues?

"Please rest assured, Congressman Nozawa, Hidenobu will do his best!" Although Aoyama Hidenobu was greeting the other party in his heart, he made a solemn promise on the surface.

Nozawa Shengli kept slapping his hands.

Aoyama Hidenobu asked again: "Councilman, please tell me the whole process, it will help solve the case."

"Okay, okay." Nozawa nodded repeatedly and began to tell the story. "The night before yesterday, my son didn't come home and I couldn't get through on the phone. I was about to call the police when I suddenly received a call from a man who said he had my son in his hands and asked me to prepare 300 million yen or he would kill my son."

"I agreed to their terms and did not dare to call the police. I just wanted to spend money to redeem my son. Yesterday afternoon, as the bandits requested, I asked my driver to deliver the money. After receiving the money, the bandits called me and said they would let my son go home this morning."

"But I waited all morning and still didn't get it."

At this point, he burst into tears again.

"Mr. Congressman, can I meet your driver?" Aoyama Hidenobu blurted out after hearing this.

A young man in his twenties standing behind Nozawa Shengli bowed and said, "Superintendent, I am you."

"Sasaki, please tell me the details of the transaction." Nozawa Shengli turned around and instructed the driver.

"Hi!" Sasaki responded, and then said with a look of reminiscence on his face: "I actually didn't see the gangsters the whole time. I just delivered the money to a trash can behind Saikoji Temple at Oi 4-chome in Shinagawa District according to the councilor's order and left."

"About what time?" Aoyama Hidenobu asked again.

Sasaki replied, "After three in the afternoon."

"Member of the Congress, can you tell anything wrong with the gangster's accent?" Aoyama Hidenobu looked at Kurosawa Katsuki.

Kurosawa Shengli was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said, "Their accents are not right. They sound a bit like foreigners. Yes! Koreans! I heard someone say "shit" in the background when the gangsters were making the ransom call."

Then he flew into a rage, and with a distorted face, he cursed: "Bakayarō! These damned Koreans! They committed bloody crimes in Japan and yet they are trying to gain the same status as the Japanese!"

It is conceivable that Koreans will face another hurdle in their fight for equal rights.

"Congressman Kurosawa, we will investigate as soon as possible based on the existing clues and will inform you if there is any progress. Please accept my condolences and take care of your health for the sake of the people." Aoyama Hidenobu stood up, looked at Kurosawa Shengli, bowed, and said sincerely.

Kurosawa stood up victoriously and shook Aoyama Hidenobu's hand again, "Inspector Aoyama, please!"

"Hi!"

"Mr. Kurosawa, I'll see you off."

Jinping Kunio stepped forward to see Kurosawa off successfully.

Aoyama Hidenobu looked at Miki Ichiro and said, "Your department is responsible for the kidnapping case, right? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and investigate based on the clues you just mentioned."

The Special Crimes Department is responsible for a series of cases including kidnapping, telephone and document intimidation, hijacking, etc.

"I...I check?" Miki Ichiro was stunned.

Aoyama Hidenobu smiled, "How about I go?"

"Then... I'll go." Miki Ichiro smiled awkwardly, bowed, turned around and left in a hurry.

By the way, find out where Dad’s tombstone is.
