Chapter 118: Chapter 114: The Aggrieved Noda, The Sudden Car Accident

"Not killed anyone? If you didn’t kill anyone, why were you at the scene of the crime that day? And if you didn’t kill anyone, why do your and your underling’s shoe prints match those found at the crime scene? Why won’t you just come clean!"

Past 10 PM, Nakamura Shinichi, who had just brought Noda back in for questioning, was working overtime to interrogate him.

Hearing this, Noda felt like dying.

Damn it, idiot!

Why the hell was he so unlucky?

Robbing a bank but getting intercepted, catching the interceptor only to be intercepted by the cops; in the end, not making a single dime and losing a brother, ending up locked up for an entire month.

He had just gotten out and was about to do a hit, but even though he hadn’t gone through with the killing, just because he left two footprints at the scene, he was now caught as the murderer.

Why must Amaterasu treat me like this!

He had met Nakamura Shinichi before and knew he was that bastard Aoyama Xiu Xin’s underling, so to avoid being framed as a scapegoat by Xiu Xin, whom he knew had a particular style in handling cases, he decided to tell the truth.

"I’m wronged, Officer!" Noda cried out in misery and then said, "Yes, we were at the crime scene, but the person was already dead when we got there, it wasn’t us who did it! And we didn’t even take anything from there!"

Back when he used to rob, his approach to the delicate work of murder was still a bit rough. He made a mental note that next time, he’d have to wear shoe covers.

"Not you who did it? Didn’t take anything?" Nakamura Shinichi scoffed with a mocking look in his eyes, "The victim’s jewelry, cash, even the cell phone were taken. Heh, if it wasn’t you, where did you four guys, fresh out of detention, get the money to throw it away on wine and women?"

"We took a job to kill someone, but by the time we got there, the person was already dead, and the employer paid us thinking I did it," Noda confessed honestly.

But Nakamura Shinichi didn’t believe it at all. What kind of idiotic employer and what kind of coincidence was that? Instead, he thought Noda was resisting the interrogation, "Still playing tough, huh? Let’s see how tough you are, go and take his pants off!"

The accompanying police immediately stood up to unbuckle Noda’s belt. Since Noda was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, he couldn’t struggle at all.

"I’ll see how tough you are!" Nakamura Shinichi took the pre-prepared interrogation tool, a bucket of ice cubes, and poured them all into Noda’s groin, then stepped down hard with his foot.

"Ah! Ah~" Noda almost turned into an ice pop, his face contorted, his body tensing up instantly as he panted heavily, "I’m telling the truth!"

"Slap!"

Nakamura Shinichi slapped him across the face, "I want to see how tough your mouth is, I don’t believe it can’t be pried open!"

"Waaah, I’m telling the truth, really the truth! Please, I beg you, take the ice cubes out!" Noda was on the verge of crying.

He was thoroughly chilled to the bone.

Nakamura Shinichi lifted his foot and stomped around Noda’s groin, making Noda experience the fiery collision of ice and flesh, leaving him between life and death as he wailed nonstop.

"Ah! Bastard! What I said is the truth! I want to see Aoyama Xiu Xin! I want to see Aoyama Xiu Xin! Talking to you idiot is pointless!"

Noda bellowed hysterically with bloodshot eyes.

"Detective Nakamura, what he’s saying seems to be the truth," the assistant officer reminded.

Upon hearing this, Noda’s eyes filled with tears as he nodded continuously, almost moved to tears.

Nakamura Shinichi also started to doubt; after all, if Noda really was that resilient, he wouldn’t have been so compliant under Deputy Chief Aoyama before.

"Take the ice cubes out of him."

"Yes, sir!"

Once all the ice cubes were removed from his groin, Noda finally let out a long sigh of relief, collapsing, sitting slumped in the chair, breathing heavily.

"Who hired you?" Nakamura Shinichi asked.

Noda hesitated, given that Xiao Lin was his good roommate, but in this line of work, there wasn’t much real loyalty left these days. Rather than going back inside to be someone else’s roommate, he chose to have Xiao Lin go instead.

"It was... Xiao Lin, he hired me to do the hit. But he wasn’t the mastermind; he seemed to be just working for his boss," Noda said.

Nakamura Shinichi raised an eyebrow, "Who’s Xiao Lin?"

"I met him when I was in prison, a cellmate. I can make a call and help you guys lure him out." Now that he had already betrayed, Noda thought, might as well go all the way.

Just so happened, Xiao Lin hadn’t visited since he got out. He’s been drinking every day, and his complexion has gotten worse. It’d be good to send him back in for some rest.

In prison, you eat and drink for free, and the daily routine is regular. Spend some time there, and you can pretty much nurse any ailment back to health.

.........

The next morning, Thursday.

"Morning, sis-in-law," Aoyama Xiu Xin called out.

"Good morning, Xiu Xin," Aoyama Haruko responded with a gentle smile, setting the tableware before clapping her hands contentedly, "Let’s eat."

Aoyama Xiu Xin sat opposite her as always.

His sister-in-law was focused on her meal, not noticing a bit of food residue on the corner of her mouth.

"Sis, hold still," said Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Haruko looked confused, "Hmm?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin gently reached out and wiped the food residue from the corner of her mouth.

Qingzi’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, feeling a bit strange as she thanked him with her head lowered, "Thank you, Xiu Xin."

"We’re family. It’s just a small gesture, no need to thank me," Aoyama Xiu Xin said frankly.

Aoyama Haruko pursed her red lips and said no more.

The atmosphere in the dining room became somewhat ambiguous and awkward.

"Ding-a-ling~ Ding-a-ling~"

The phone ring broke the silence between them.

"Mosi Mosi?" Aoyama Xiu Xin answered.

"Deputy Director, it’s Shinichi..." Detective Nakamura reported Noda’s testimony from the previous night.

After listening, Aoyama Xiu Xin instructed, "Don’t arrest Xiao Lin just yet, just keep him under surveillance and look into his background; I’ll make a decision after I review it."

"Yes, sir!" Nakamura Shinichi replied.

Aoyama Xiu Xin hung up and gave a helpless smile to his sister-in-law, "It’s been a bit busy recently."

"You’re working hard, Xiu Xin. Make sure you eat plenty," Aoyama Haruko brushed aside her earlier embarrassment, getting up to serve him more food. Her heavy conscience swayed back and forth in front of Aoyama Xiu Xin.

So white and plump, those short sleeves were really loose and round.

Aoyama Xiu Xin swallowed hard, hastily wolfing down his meal before heading straight to work. His sister-in-law was too enticing to stay any longer; it was becoming torturous.

Driving on the road, as he approached an intersection, a van suddenly ran the red light towards him. Aoyama Xiu Xin, with his agility and perception far beyond ordinary people, reacted just as the van was about to hit him, slamming the accelerator and wrenching the steering wheel.

"Bang!"

Even so, the van still clipped the rear of his car, making a huge noise. His car was spun around on the spot and slid several meters before crashing into a utility pole on the side of the road, forcing it to a stop. White smoke slowly rose from the gap in the car’s hood, and screams erupted around.

Inside, Aoyama Xiu Xin, after the violent collision, felt ringing in his ears, dizzy and blurry vision. Soon, the world turned black.

He fully lost consciousness.

His last thought was: Damn it!
