In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 251: As a bureaucrat, there is no right or wrong, only stance!
Aoyama Hidenobu took a sip of wine, picked up the white napkin and wiped his mouth elegantly, "I heard that the Supreme Court Justice Matsushita Shun is Matsushita-kun's second uncle."

When Matsushita Jiezhi heard this, his face became a little stiff.

"If Aoyama-kun intends to get to know my second uncle through me, I'm afraid it won't work." Matsushita Jiezhi said in a deep voice with a forced smile on his face.

The name Matsushita Shun is a taboo in the Matsushita family.

Matsushita Shun's grandfather once held an important position in the cabinet, but his father Matsushita Isamu did not make any achievements in officialdom. He only managed to get a position as a senator by relying on the influence of his ancestors and lived a life of idleness and waiting for death.

The old man who retired a few years ago and has been living in the ICU for years and relying on drugs to keep his life going is the last fig leaf of the Panasonic family. Once he dies, many of his personal connections will be severed and the status of the Panasonic family will plummet.

And Matsushita Shun, the illegitimate son who had suffered countless humiliations in the Matsushita family, became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court through his own efforts, which undoubtedly made Matsushita Isamu, the father of Matsushita Suke, look like a waste.

For the sake of his family, old man Matsushita once tried to get Matsushita Shun to come back and inherit the position of head of the family, but was rejected. He also said that he would personally end the Matsushita family, which almost angered the old man to death. This is something outsiders don't know.

Matsushita Shun repeatedly targeted the Matsushita family and damaged Matsushita Suke's interests, which naturally led to him not having a good impression of his second uncle. If someone else mentioned this name, he would have walked away in anger.

Matsushita Sukeyuki wanted to befriend Aoyama Hidenobu, but facing such an outstanding person, he knew he was not worthy of being befriended by him as he had achieved nothing, and felt a little inferior.

This morning, Aoyama Hidenobu took the initiative to ask him out, which made him very excited. However, he never expected that the other party asked him out for his second uncle, and he couldn't help but feel a little defensive.

This feeling is like the goddess you have a crush on suddenly approaches you, but her purpose is to get to know your brother and pursue him through you.

Taking in Matsushita Suke's expression, Aoyama Hideshige knew what was going on and smiled, "Matsushita-kun has misunderstood. Matsushita Shun and I are enemies, not friends."

"Ah?" Matsushita Jiezhi looked surprised.

Aoyama Hidenobu looked normal and started to talk nonsense. "In my opinion, blood is thicker than water. No matter what, Matsushita Shun, as a member of the Matsushita family, should make sacrifices for the family instead of holding a grudge against his father and relatives because of a little injustice he suffered in his childhood! Moreover, he has been targeting the Matsushita family, doing things that make his relatives sad and his enemies happy. He is disloyal to the family and unfilial to his father. How can such an unfaithful and unfilial person be qualified to serve as the chief justice?"

The head follows the butt, that's what the saying goes, but if he was Matsushita Shun, he would definitely promote the Matsushita family, otherwise he would never be able to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

"It just so happens that I have some conflicts with him. In this case, why don't we unite and teach this disloyal and unfilial man a lesson?" Aoyama Hidenobu said, raising his glass.

Matsushita Jiezhi remained silent with a gloomy expression on his face.

Aoyama Hidenobu continued to persuade him, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous, but your old man won't have much time left, right? Once he's gone, what will the Matsushita family do to stop Matsushita Shun? Now you are still a well-known second-generation, Matsushita-kun, and you can still do smuggling, but once the Matsushita family falls apart, I'm afraid your situation will not be optimistic!"

"Besides, you are not young anymore. It is time for you to contribute to the family. Get rid of the unfilial man like Matsushita Shun and let the old man see that you are worth cultivating. He will pave the way for you before he dies. Please consider it."

"I know that Matsushita-kun is a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, if he had the heart to do it, he would have made a fortune with his family background. So I couldn't bear to do it to my uncle. But people don't want to hurt tigers, but tigers can hurt people! If you act first, you can give Matsushita-kun a good ending and keep some face as a family member. But if he acts first after the old man is gone, it will be too late."

Every word Aoyama Hidenobu said was true.

So Matsushita Jiezhi was moved.

"Mr. Qingshan, can you tell me what grudge you have with my second uncle?" Matsushita Jiezhi asked.

He was afraid that the other party was arranged by his second uncle to go fishing. Wouldn’t it be the end of him if he fell into the trap?
Aoyama Hidenobu wanted to reassure him and give him confidence, so he did not hide it. "I don't have any grudge against him, but one of my seniors does. The president of the Supreme Court is about to resign, and someone is lobbying the cabinet to nominate Matsushita Shun to take over. The vice president of the Supreme Court, Takizawa, is unwilling to sit and wait for death, so I want to relieve his worries."

"What!" Matsushita was shocked and blurted out, "How could he skip the nomination of the vice president?"

The old man of the Matsushita family is awake less and less often, resulting in the Matsushita family lacking channels to understand the movements of the upper echelons, and has not heard of this incident.

Generally speaking, according to the rules, when a person is laid off, he or she will be replaced by a deputy, or someone with a strong background will be parachuted in from outside. It is rare for someone to be promoted directly from within the department, and this is especially true for higher-level positions.

"I don't know either, but that's how great your second uncle is. Otherwise, how could he have achieved what he has today on his own?" Aoyama Hidenobu shook his head and said, "If he becomes the president of the Supreme Court, I think it will definitely not be good news for your Matsushita family."

Matsushita Jiezhi's face was as gloomy as water. This was not only not good news, but it was simply bad news.

He was a little hesitant at first, but now he made up his mind in an instant, "What does Qingshan want me to do?"

"It is difficult to attack Matsushita Shun himself, as he will easily notice and counterattack, so we can only attack people around him," said Aoyama Hidenobu.

Matsushita Jiezhi said: "Matsushita Qingyun."

He was the only son of his second uncle, Matsushita Shun. He was born when he was 32 years old, and he attached great importance to his training.

Then he shook his head again. "My second uncle has very high standards for himself, and even stricter standards for his son. Songxia Qingyun has excellent academic performance and has studied all the way to a doctorate. He is very self-disciplined and never messes around. He even stays out all night. There is no point in making a move."

Flies do not bite seamless eggs.

"This is the biggest problem!" Aoyama Hidenobu shook his head and asked, "A 25-year-old adult man who never dares to stay out all night under his father's supervision, do you think this is not a problem?"

Matsushita Jiezhi was stunned for a moment. Yes, it seemed that his second uncle was too strict in disciplining his cousin.

"People are like springs. The more you press them, the greater the elasticity will be when you release them. Song Xia Qingyun is the son of an official. His family is rich and powerful, but his life is more simple and normal than that of ordinary people. This is not normal in itself."

"It's not that he doesn't have a rebellious heart, but the fear of his father has suppressed him since he was a child! On the other hand, he has never enjoyed the taste of indulgence. He has never experienced money, beauty, power, etc., so he doesn't care about them. Once he tastes the sweetness, he will naturally be out of control."

That’s why there’s the phrase “eating the marrow”. Some things don’t matter until you experience them, because you don’t have that knowledge at all.

Once you experience it, there's no going back.

Let’s take the simplest example: a dustpan pump.

Listening to Aoyama Hidenobu's words, Matsushita Sukezhi broke out in a sweat. He was the son of an official, and since he had known since childhood that he was different from ordinary people, enjoying and using power had become a part of his life.

So I deeply understand that what Aoyama Hidenobu said is absolutely right.

Once Matsushita Qingyun tried the same extravagant life as him, he, who had been suppressed for many years, would only become more hysterical and extreme in his outbursts.

"Qingshan-kun wants to..."

Aoyama Hidenobu smiled slightly and talked freely.

"Matsushita Shun has suffered a lot himself, so he demands the same things of his own children, but he forgets that his children's starting point and situation are different from his. He is already in a wolf's den, but he educates his son to be like a sheep, to be gentle, respectful, frugal, polite and chaste. These are advantages for ordinary people, but they are fatal weaknesses for people like us!"

"You deliberately approached Songxia Qingyun as his cousin, because your grandfather was dying and you hoped to ease the relationship between the two families. He is a good man, and I believe you have a way to make him gradually relax his vigilance and completely open his defenses against you. Then, you can take him to experience the taste of power and don't waste his second-generation identity."

Matsushita Sukeshi was sweating profusely. He stared at Aoyama Hidenobu for a while, then let out a long breath.

"Aoyama-kun, you are such a terrible person."

He didn't even dare to imagine how devastated Matsushita Qingyun would be if he fell into the trap and learned the truth.

This is more cruel than killing the other person directly.

"To my enemies, I am like this, but to my friends, I am not like this." Aoyama Hidenobu raised his glass and smiled: "Are we friends?"

If you want to achieve great things, you must do whatever it takes.

Matsushita Shun and his son are undoubtedly good people and a breath of fresh air among officials, but their positions are inconsistent with Aoyama Hidenobu, so don't blame him for being cruel.

If you want to stand out in the power struggle, you have to ignore good and evil and only look at your stance, otherwise you won't go far.

"Without a doubt, yes!" Matsushita Jiezhi quickly raised his glass and clinked it with his, and answered seriously.

Aoyama Hidenobu took a sip, then put down his glass and stood up to leave, "I'll wait for good news from Matsushita-kun."

"Hi!" Matsushita Jiezhi stood up and bowed to see him off.

He slowly stood up until he could no longer see the other person's heels, then he let out a long breath.

It’s time for me to do something serious!

"Kazuo Mishima will be returning to Japan next Monday. I suggest we take action right away on his way out of the airport."

Said Aoi Taimori with long hair.

"I agree. Otherwise, once he returns to his country and learns that Nobuo Tsuda and Jiro Noda are dead, he might become defensive. The police might have already suspected us and will contact them. The longer we delay, the worse it will be." Koizumi Hisahide, with a short haircut, agreed.

Then they both looked at Fujimoto Takakazu who seemed to be distracted, "Hey, Takakazu, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I just ran into an acquaintance yesterday and felt a little emotional." Fujimoto Takakazu came to his senses and shook his head, "I'll do as you say."

"Acquaintance? Who?" asked Koizumi Hisahide.

Takakazu Fujimoto replied, "Nobi Kura Ken."

"Oh, that guy Nobi! Speaking of which, it was you who saved his life. Is that guy doing well now?" Aoi Taimori was also a little dazed.

Fujimoto Takakazu shook his head, "Not very good."

Then he talked about how he met Nobita.

Aoi and Koizumi were speechless after hearing this. That incident really changed the lives of their entire department.

"He really wants to meet you. Do you want to meet him?" Fujimoto Takakazu asked, and then added, "I inquired this morning. His personality did change drastically after we were imprisoned. He was not welcome in the Metropolitan Police Department. It is also true that he was fired for beating his superior. Moreover, he was fired on the morning of the day we killed Tsuda Nobuo. There should be no problem."

Hearing this, the other two were relieved.

Unless the police could predict that they would take revenge and deliberately dismissed Nobi Kura Ken half a day in advance, otherwise the other party could not be an undercover agent.

"Then let's meet him. There are only four of us left from the original department. This guy came to see us two years ago. It would be unreasonable not to meet him when we come out."
