Chapter 109: Chapter 105: Counterattack, The Humiliation Suffered Will Be Returned Tenfold

Listening to Aoyama Xiu Xin’s words.

Mizutani Shogo felt angry and unwilling, his face alternating between pale and flushed. What had been an excellent situation now took a sharp turn for the worse, and he regretted not taking action sooner.

"Why should I believe you? What if I hand over the photos and you still frame me for murder?" Mizutani Shogo, face pressed against the ground, gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pressed down harder with his foot.

"Ah!" Mizutani Shogo screamed in pain, feeling as if his face were being scraped by the gravel on the ground.

Aoyama Xiu Xin looked down at him with disdain, "Of course, because you have no bargaining chips now."

"Aoyama Xiu Xin, don’t push me too far. We might as well die together!" Mizutani Shogo breathed heavily, speaking fiercely, "At worst, I go to jail, but without the photos, Heize Xin will definitely die. When you think about it, I still come out ahead."

"You’re right, but have you thought about your family?" Aoyama Xiu Xin stepped back, squatted down, grabbed his hair, and pulled his face up to look straight at him, speaking ominously, "Heize Xin at least won’t kill me today. Believe it or not, I will lock you up and immediately have your wife and child killed!"

"Have I ever wronged you? If you want to screw me over, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I’ll drag your entire family down with me. I can do it!"

Watching Aoyama Xiu Xin’s sinister eyes, Mizutani Shogo’s face showed shifting emotions, and he felt a flicker of fear.

"Are you going to talk!" Aoyama Xiu Xin shouted fiercely.

Not daring to take a gamble, Mizutani Shogo finally confessed honestly, "In the crevice of my bedroom mattress."

Now at his mercy, he was the fish to the slaughter. If both sides were destroyed, his family would have to be buried with him. No matter how he calculated, it was a loss, so he had no choice but to hand over the photos.

"Where is your house?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked again.

This time, without waiting for Mizutani Shogo to answer, Yamada Yuuji spoke, "Shenming Slope First District 12-13."

Aoyama Xiu Xin turned to look at Nakamura Shinichi.

Nakamura Shinichi nodded, then got up and left.

"The enmity between you and Mr. Yamada originally had nothing to do with me, but you shouldn’t have stolen the photos from my house, getting me involved," Aoyama Xiu Xin stood up and kicked Mizutani Shogo’s face.

"Ah!" Mizutani Shogo screamed again, rolling on the ground covering his face, blood seeping through his fingers.

He spoke indistinctly, "I’ve already handed over the photos to you, I hope you can keep your promise."

"Promises are for humans; in my eyes, you don’t count as one," Aoyama Xiu Xin sneered, kicking him, "A prosecutor is dead; someone has to take responsibility. Speak up! Why did you kill Ito Hiroshi!"

"I didn’t kill... Ah!"

"You didn’t kill? Then why were you at the murder scene? Why were your fingerprints on the murder weapon?" Aoyama Xiu Xin kicked him in the stomach.

The pain made Mizutani Shogo curl up.

Aoyama Xiu Xin continued to torment him, controlling his strength and kicking again, sending him tumbling across the ground, "Idiot! Speak! Why did you kill Ito Hiroshi; make up a reason yourself!"

"Police Chief Aoyama, that’s enough; don’t hit him anymore," Yamada Yuuji could barely stand to watch.

Aoyama Xiu Xin ignored him, stepping on Mizutani Shogo’s back, "I told you to speak! Now speak!"

"Because he... he blackmailed me with evidence of my embezzlement... I killed him, yes! That’s why!" Mizutani Shogo couldn’t take it anymore.

Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed and squatted down, slapping his blood-stained face, "A wise man submits to circumstances. With me at the Police Headquarters and Prosecutor Yamada at the prosecutor’s office, with concrete evidence of murder and your confession, don’t even think about overturning the case. Better to be sentenced quickly and put it behind you."

Mizutani Shogo glared at him, silent.

"Handcuff him," Aoyama Xiu Xin ordered.

"Hi!" Fujimoto Ryosuke responded promptly, bringing out handcuffs and restraining Mizutani Shogo.

Aoyama Xiu Xin continued, "Take him to the car and keep a close watch on him. Don’t let him escape."

"Hi!" Fujimoto Ryosuke, escorting Mizutani Shogo, exited the slaughterhouse and got into Aoyama Xiu Xin’s Corolla.

Yamada Yuuji exhaled, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "It’s finally coming to an end."

Aoyama smiled but didn’t respond.

End?

This was just the beginning.

About twenty minutes later, Nakamura Shinichi returned with a document bag and handed it to Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Aoyama Xiu Xin opened it to confirm the lewd photos of Heize Xin he had seen before, not a single one missing.

"Let’s go; we’ll hand them to Mr. Heize now," Yamada Yuuji said eagerly.

But as he stepped forward, he noticed that Aoyama Xiu Xin hadn’t followed. Stopping, he turned around, looked back in confusion, and called out, "Police Chief Aoyama?"

"Should we really hand it over to Heize?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked.

"What else?" Yamada Yuuji turned around and returned in front of Aoyama Xiu Xin, saying, "Mr. Heize has already been merciful enough to give us another chance. If we don’t hand over the photos to him by the end of today, both of us are as good as dead. What else is there to hesitate about?"

"Have you so quickly forgotten how you knelt in front of Heize, humiliated and beaten up?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked him, and without waiting for an answer, he fiercely added, "You might have forgotten, but I haven’t forgotten the feeling of cowering on the ground!"

"What... what are you planning to do?" Yamada Yuuji’s face changed, and he asked somewhat anxiously.

Aoyama Xiu Xin shook the photos, "This is the medicine that can save Heize Xin, but it is also a knife that can kill him. Handing it over to Heize Xin’s opponent can not only achieve revenge but also fetch us a handsome reward!"

"No! Have you lost your mind?" Yamada Yuuji flatly dismissed his idea, emotionally growling, "You really don’t understand! Do you think a man like Heize Xin can be brought down by some indecent photos? Absolutely not! At most, he would come out and bow in apology, lay low for a while, and then it’ll be as if nothing happened."

"Before it was so, but now, things have changed." Aoyama Xiu Xin confidently manipulated the narrative, speaking solemnly, "According to the information I obtained, someone within the Liberal Democratic Party has become dissatisfied with Heize Xin’s long-held autocracy and is plotting against him. This photo in our hands will be the spark. Heize will not be able to simply bow and apologize to settle everything."

Originally, in another time and space, Heize Xin would resign from all his positions a month later and, once powerful, he would lose everything overnight, proving that many were conspiring against him. Now, with this photo, his fall could be accelerated.

"Where did you get such information? You didn’t even know who he was before this." Yamada Yuuji openly doubted the truthfulness of Aoyama Xiu Xin’s words.

Aoyama Xiu Xin remained calm and unafraid, meeting his gaze directly, "If I wasn’t sure, would I do something that could lead to my own demise? Prosecutor Yamada, you have to trust me. Without me, you would already be done for."

Yamada Yuuji’s face shifted between hope and despair, staring intensely at Aoyama Xiu Xin before finally exhaling deeply.

"Fine, you handle the photos. If worse comes to worst, you’ll die with me. I have nothing to lose anyway."

He too hated Heize Xin, and more importantly, if what Aoyama Xiu Xin said was true, and Heize Xin’s ship was about to sink, he needed to jump ship early!

"Mr. Yamada, trust me, neither of us will die. Only Heize Xin and Harayama Heiji, those two arrogant men, will perish!" Aoyama Xiu Xin’s face broke into a smile as he reached out a hand into the air.

Yamada Yuuji gripped it tightly.

"From now on, Mr. Yamada, you in the Prosecutor’s Office and I in Police Headquarters will be each other’s most reliable friends."

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

Yamada Yuuji left the slaughterhouse first.

Aoyama Xiu Xin handed over the case of Mizutani Shogo killing Ito Hiroshi entirely to Fujimoto Ryosuke and Nakamura Shinichi.

It was a sort of welcoming gift for them.

Being assigned just after arriving and solving a vicious case of a prosecutor’s internal feud leading to murder was enough to earn them the necessary respect to establish themselves in the Police Headquarters.

This was also their reward for taking risks alongside him; they deserved to gain something.

Aoyama Xiu Xin then went to meet Yanchuan Xianyou.

Since he planned to take down Heize Xin, he naturally studied the current political environment in advance and had some idea of who Heize Xin’s political enemies were.

The Liberal Democratic Party is the ruling party in Japan, but the party is divided into many factions, such as the Takeshita Faction currently led by Ima Heize Xin, as well as the factions of Abe, Du Bian, etc. It was common for them to internally clash and strike at each other.

Yanchuan Xianyou’s grandfather, Yanchuan Shilang, also belonged to the Takeshita Faction but had a rift with Heize Xin and had been publicly humiliated by him, damaging his reputation. Thus, Aoyama Xiu Xin felt sure that the Yanchuan Family must also be involved in the effort to bring down Heize Xin, and giving them the photo was definitely the right move.

This would also boost his standing in the eyes of Yanchuan Xianyou, especially since this time he indeed had made a significant contribution to the Yanchuan Family and had shed blood for them.

"Aoyama, what brings you here suddenly today? It couldn’t be a problem with the automatic loan machines, could it?" Yanchuan Xianyou asked upon meeting him, his biggest current concern being the automatic loan machines.

"Of course not, the full-scale production of the automatic loan machines is going very smoothly, and we just wait for the elections in the House of Representatives next month to start rolling them out," Aoyama Xiu Xin responded.

"That’s good, that’s good," Yanchuan Xianyou repeated twice, then said, "Take a seat. If it’s not about the automatic loan machines, it surely can’t be that you and Ling’s wedding plans have hit another snag, else you wouldn’t come to see me."

"After all, you never visit the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!"

"I would indeed like to visit more often, but I fear disturbing you, Brother Xianyou," Aoyama Xiu Xin sat down on the sofa, then took out a document bag and handed it with both hands to Yanchuan Xianyou, "I am here again to bring a gift to Brother Xianyou. Please have a look, I’m sure you’ll be satisfied."

"Oh? The matter of the automatic loan machines was a big surprise for me, what new trick have you come up with now?" Yanchuan Xianyou took the document bag with interest, speaking as he tore it open and took out the photos inside, his expression suddenly becoming solemn, he blurted out, "Where did you get these?"

"It’s a matter of chance..." Aoyama Xiu Xin explained the situation, mixing nine parts truth with one part lie, then sighed and added, "It’s not only a gift but also a plea for help from you, as if I can’t hand over the photos to Heize today, then I am definitely doomed!"

"Aoyama, Aoyama, you really are a lucky general!" Yanchuan Xianyou, normally composed, could not keep his expression at this moment and, unable to help himself, laughed and patted Aoyama Xiu Xin heavily on the shoulder, saying, "Thank goodness you didn’t hand over the photos to him, otherwise clinging to him, this giant tree, would not shade you from the sun for even a few days."

"In my heart, Brother Xianyou will always be the only sun!" Aoyama Xiu Xin quickly affirmed his loyalty.

Yanchuan Xianyou now truly believed these words.

After all, Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t know that others were already making moves against Heize Xin, yet he had given up on ingratiating himself with Heize Xin and taken the risk of bringing the photos to him.

What was this if not wholehearted loyalty?

"I’ll tell you the truth, Heize Xin is about to be finished, and with these photos, he’s done for today!" Yanchuan Xianyou declared emphatically.

Being the only son of the Yanchuan Family, he knew everything that was happening at home and naturally knew that his grandfather and some others had started to close their net around Heize Xin.

And these photos would just hasten the process.

"I don’t understand politics, I only know it’s good enough if I can help you, Brother Xianyou," Aoyama Xiu Xin said honestly.
