Chapter 250: Chapter 241: New Department, Guiding Subordinates, Fierce Assassin_2

"Mr. Aka Hon, you’ve really let me down," Aoyama Xiu Xin sighed, his tone harsh.

Mr. Aka Hon dared not argue, "Hi!"

"I gave you several days to resolve this issue, but what have you been doing? Have you shown the right attitude toward resolving this?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked.

In a hurry, Mr. Aka Hon replied, "Subordinate has been tirelessly investigating this case night and day, only that the criminal is cunning, making it difficult to find any clues..."

He believed that his inability to find clues was purely a matter of capability, but there was absolutely no problem with his attitude.

"Do you know why I am younger yet a commissioner at the Police Headquarters, while you are still a captain?" Aoyama Xiu Xin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, interrupting him.

It’s because you brown-nose the leaders.

Mr. Aka Hon silently complained in his mind but outwardly displayed a flattering and pleasing smile, taking the ashtray to him, "Of course, it’s because the commissioner’s excellence is exceptional, and I, lacking in natural talent, am not even a thousandth as capable as you. Reaching captain’s rank beyond my thirties is already a blessing from my ancestors."

"That’s only one of the reasons." Aoyama Xiu Xin gave a reserved smile, shook off the ash, and said earnestly, "The main point is that I am adaptable, which you clearly are not. Do you think the higher-ups really care about finding the actual culprit in the bombing? No! They care about the negative impact brought by the delay in solving the case; they just want a quick resolution to quell the disruptions."

"So catching the real culprit would certainly be good, but if not, it doesn’t matter that much. Just grab any murderer, have a talk with him, let them empathize with the difficulties of the higher-ups, help them ease their worries by taking the blame for the bombing case!"

"In this way, the criminal is punished, the Police Headquarters is credited, citizens vent their anger, the leaders face less trouble, and the reporters get their news—everyone’s happy!"

"This entire thing could be settled in a day! And yet, I gave you almost a week! Are you brain-dead? Must I chew the food and feed it to your mouth?"

The more Aoyama Xiu Xin spoke, the more outraged he became, unable to contain his anger, his voice growing more severe and his gaze sharper.

Such a dull subordinate, unable to decipher the intentions of the higher-ups.

It greatly wearied him as a supervisor!

He truly envied his own superior, blessed to have a subordinate like himself with such proactive energy.

"This... subordinate..." Mr. Aka Hon was sweating profusely. Although he had done such things before, he’d never played with something this big. After all, this was a nationally watched bombing case, so he had never thought about falsifying anything.

No wonder Aoyama Xiu Xin could become a commissioner, not only did he brown-nose, but he also had guts, far beyond his own.

Now thinking about it, Aoyama Xiu Xin had very patiently comforted him by saying, "Don’t trust that the killer didn’t leave clues."

That was hinting at him to fabricate evidence!

Aoyama Xiu Xin’s anger subsided, and with a blank expression, he asked, "Can you solve this case in three days?"

"Yes!" Mr. Aka Hon quickly replied, taking a deep breath and bowing deeply, "Commissioner, your precious advice has truly enlightened me, enlightening me in a flash. Under your wise guidance, this kind of case doesn’t even need three days; I guarantee that by the end of work tomorrow, the criminal will be brought to justice!"

"Very well! With such morale, why worry about not catching the criminal?" Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded his head, extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, "Make good use of the time."

"Hi! Commissioner, please take care!"

Mr. Aka Hon bowed deeply as he held the ashtray.

"Commissioner, we found him, the person who set up this BBS is called Matsuboto Takashi, 25 years old, an orphan, living at East Shinjuku Third District, 114-115, has multiple bank accounts with unusually high deposits, clearly unemployed, yet the money in his accounts has been increasing for the past six months."

That afternoon, Nakamura Shinichi handed a file to Aoyama Xiu Xin and briefly explained.

"It seems this guy is the mastermind behind it all."

Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a tone of certainty.

This was the first time the police handled such a case, and for Matsuboto Takashi too, lacking better ways to hide his identity, or the skills and means to do so, he wouldn’t have had an issue had the police not investigated, but once they did, they quickly located him.

"Shall we arrest him directly?" Nakamura Shinichi asked.

Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded, "Yes! This fellow definitely has a ton of data about those employers and murderers. Just getting that list means catching one leads to catching them all; a big case and a great achievement!"

Perfectly, this significant new type of case could become a new focus, cooling down the bombing case, and making it easier for Chi Ben Xinzhang to muddy the waters, find someone to take the fall.

"Hi!" Nakamura Shinichi immediately turned and left.

Half an hour later, two police officers, disguised as gas workers, knocked on the home of Matsuboto Takashi and, upon confirming his identity once he opened the door, arrested him directly on the spot.

The technical team found many employers’ and murderers’ information in a hard drive at Matsuboto Takashi’s home.

This BBS actually had only been set up for a year. Because he dared not promote it widely, it didn’t have many users, and along with Gu Tian Shinri’s case, only seventeen transactions had been successfully completed. The other sixteen victims were spread across the country, and upon inquiring via phone, all were registered with local police as cold cases or missing persons.

Nakamura Shinichi also discovered a significant issue.

Among these seventeen transactions, twelve were all done by a person named Xiao Chiyexiong, a single person who took on most of the business and was also the first to take orders on the BBS.

Within a year, traveling across the country, continuously killing twelve people yet never being caught, he clearly was a professional assassin and extremely dangerous.

But the employers and other murderers had detailed information stored on the hard drive, except for Xiao Chiyexiong.

Nakamura Shinichi asked Matsuboto Takashi what was going on.

Matsuboto Takashi was just a homebody with poor psychological quality. After being arrested, he cooperated obediently with the police.

"When I first set up the BBS, many of my ideas were not yet complete. He was the first person to take an order; at that time, I hadn’t yet instituted the rule that order-takers must provide personal information for verification. And since I had cooperated with him once and knew he was reliable, I never asked him for it afterward, especially since he alone made a lot of money for me, and I didn’t want to irritate him."

"So aside from a name, you know nothing about him?" Nakamura Shinichi asked.

Matsuboto Takashi fell silent, sweating profusely.

"Do you have any way to contact him proactively?"

"No, he usually used payphones to contact me, and even when collecting money, he just designated that I leave it at a specific place," Matsuboto Takashi shook his head.

An hour later, the interrogation ended, and Nakamura Shinichi took the statement to report to Aoyama Xiu Xin.
