Chapter 355: Chapter 322: Swimming Upstream to Kick Bomberman! Apology

"What’s going on? What happened?"

Asai Ayumi, Asai Zexi, and Iihara Nishi, still in her wedding dress, all came out to check.

"An explosion happened over there, call the police first," Aoyama Xiu Xin pointed to a nearby intersection shrouded in smoke.

Asai Ayumi immediately said, "I’ll go check it out."

Aoyama Xiu Xin grabbed her.

Asai Ayumi turned back, looking at him with a puzzled face.

"I’ll go," Aoyama Xiu Xin said gravely.

It was very dangerous to approach the explosion site now since the cause was unknown, and there was a possibility of a secondary explosion, but he had no choice but to go.

That’s the downside of the public persona he had created. There were already many bystanders gathered, and many recognized him. If he hesitated out of fear, the persona he had built would crumble.

It was a burden for his reputation!

So since he had to go,

there was no need to put Asai Ayumi at risk.

But Asai Ayumi hadn’t thought that much, she just felt that Aoyama Xiu Xin was concerned about her, so she was willing to risk her life and was deeply moved by his gesture. Suddenly, she felt that his sleaziness and other flaws were not so detestable after all.

"Quickly, call the police," Aoyama Xiu Xin let go of her hand and started running towards the explosion site.

Asai Ayumi called out from behind, "Be careful!"

Iihara Nishi was also surprised, she hadn’t expected Aoyama Xiu Xin, this hypocritical guy, to be truly fearless.

Only Asai Zexi had guessed a bit of Aoyama Xiu Xin’s thoughts, but instead of looking down on him, he respected him even more because he knew the danger yet was still willing to take the risk. That’s what you call a tough guy.

"Everyone, leave this area now!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin shouted as he ran forward.

People were running in all directions, passing by him, but only he moved against the flow, which was extremely conspicuous.

Suddenly, his gaze locked on a young man wearing a mask and a baseball cap, who also slumped a bag, constantly guarding it with one hand.

This guy is suspicious.

Not to mention his police experience, even with his past life experience as an assassin, he could make that judgment.

Aoyama Xiu Xin suddenly turned and approached him.

There was a barrier between them that separated the pedestrian path and the vehicle lane, extending for hundreds of meters.

The baseball cap young man paused, then lowered his head and turned around, pretending to be a mere passerby, trying to leave.

"Stop right there!" Aoyama Xiu Xin immediately shouted.

Upon hearing this, the baseball cap young man immediately broke into a run.

"Idiot! So it was you, bastard!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin cursed and chased after him.

Scared me there, thinking you can run? Dream on!

His physical fitness was almost superhuman; he sprinted to the roadside, chased the young man across the barrier, and quickly passed him. Amidst the gasps of the onlookers, he single-handedly supported himself on the railing and effortlessly jumped over, turning mid-air and kicking the baseball cap young man in the head.

The movement was fluid like flowing water.

"Bang!"

The baseball cap young man hadn’t expected Aoyama Xiu Xin to run so fast and be so adept; fear flashed in his eyes, and before he could react, he felt as if struck by a heavy hammer, his body dramatically falling to the side.

Aoyama Xiu Xin held back with his foot, not kicking the man unconscious, so the baseball cap young man shook his head and tried to get up to continue running.

But just as he propped himself up to rise, Aoyama Xiu Xin strode forward and stepped on his back.

"Boom!"

"Ah!" The young man screamed in pain as he was pressed back to the ground, struggling, "Bastard, let me go!"

"Exceptional! Truly worthy of Police Chief Aoyama!"

"It was like he literally flew!"

"Is that guy a criminal? Ah, he must be, otherwise why would he flee so guiltily?"

"Exceptional! Police Chief Aoyama truly lives up to being called the Police Tiger, rushing forward tirelessly as soon as the explosion occurred."

The onlookers finally came to their senses, continuously expressing their amazement and excitement, itching to rush up and hug Aoyama Xiu Xin to show their admiration.

This was the result of Aoyama Xiu Xin charging forward.

Had he hesitated earlier, all sorts of curses and criticism would be raining down on him now.

Aoyama Xiu Xin bent over, snatched the bag from the young man’s shoulder, reached in, and pulled out an unexploded homemade remote-controlled bomb.

"Ah! A bomb! It’s a bomb!"

"The explosion earlier was his doing!"

"This bastard! He’s really despicable!"

The onlookers continuously exclaimed, filled with righteous indignation.

"Running around with a bomb, planning to place it wherever you like, think you’re some kind of bomb superhero?" Aoyama Xiu Xin looked down at the baseball cap young man and taunted him.

The young man’s face turned pale, he strained to lift his head and glared vehemently at him, but if one looked closely, they would see his lack of confidence and the fear in his eyes.

"Xiu Xin."

Asai Ayumi ran over, along with Iihara Nishi and Asai Zexi. Iihara Nishi was out of breath, her wedding dress heaving dramatically.

Even while running and covering it with his hand, it almost leapt out unwillingly to be left alone.

The first to arrive at the scene were the nearby police station officers, who handcuffed the young man in the baseball cap.

Then came the nearby police station officers and an ambulance, who put up police tape to cordon off the scene of the explosion and cooperated with the ambulance to treat the injured.

Since the police were already in charge of the scene, Aoyama Xiu Xin did not plan to stay for long. He said goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law with Asai Ayumi and took the suspect back to the Police Headquarters.

Regarding the act of Aoyama Xiu Xin, as a couple, even taking leave could capture a suspect in a bombing case, the colleagues at the Police Headquarters could only express their amazement and admiration.

Aoyama Xiu Xin handed over the man to Chi Ben Xinzhang of the Special Crimes Unit II, instructing him to arrange for people to take charge of the interrogation.

He and Asai Ayumi, having already returned to the Police Headquarters, of course, decided to end their leave early and start working.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Half an hour later, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s office door was knocked, he looked up and said, "Come in."

"Police Chief," Chi Ben Xinzhang came in with a freshly made record of interrogation, bowed, and then handed it to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "This is the confession of the suspect in the street explosion case, please have a look."

"Just tell me," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, not wanting to read.

"Okay!" Chi Ben Xinzhang placed the confession on the desk, then stood at ease and slowly said, "The suspect is called Yokoyama Jie, 23 years old, a senior high school graduate. Previously, he worked at a food factory, but due to the economic downturn, the factory closed, and he has been unemployed at home for half a year. Out of resentment towards society, he has felt that fate is unjust and wanted to take revenge on society."

"A month ago, he posted on a BBS that if he knew how to make bombs, he would detonate them everywhere and turn Tokyo upside down. Someone commented on that post, offering to help him make bombs for free. They exchanged contact information, and last night, he got his hands on two bombs and decided to use them this morning."

Chi Ben Xinzhang slightly bowed his head to indicate he had finished speaking.

"Damn, is it through the internet as a contact tool again?" Aoyama Xiu Xin murmured to himself with a frown before picking up the internal phone to call Asakura Yurong’s office, "Come to my office."

About five minutes later, a knock sounded.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

"Come in."

Asakura Yurong pushed the door and entered. Already quite nervous, she became even more restrained seeing Chi Ben Xinzhang there, timidly bowed, and said, "Police Chief."

In front of Aoyama Xiu Xin, her attire today was more alluring—gray spaghetti strap dress clinging to her skin, revealing graceful curves, with a small blazer worn over it and her bare legs wrapped in black stockings, presenting a striking contrast to her usual outfits.

She herself knew that her attire today was far too rebellious compared to usual, so she dared not look directly into Aoyama Xiu Xin’s eyes; her head was lowered, cheeks flushed with red.

"Chi Ben Police Chief, could you explain the case details to Chief Asakura?" Aoyama Xiu Xin diverted his gaze and instructed.

"Okay," Chi Ben Xinzhang acknowledged, greeting Asakura Yurong with a nod and then revisited the details he had just specified.

"Yokoyama Jie," Asakura Yurong asked anxiously, "did you say the suspect’s name is Yokoyama Jie?"

Chi Ben Xinzhang nodded, looking somewhat puzzled at her, "Does Chief Asakura know him?"

Asakura Yurong pressed her lips tightly, her face paling as she said, "A few days ago, our department monitored multiple BBS sites for posts about making bombs. Following investigations, we identified the poster as Yokoyama Jie. But since no related equipment was found at his home and we didn’t believe he had the capability to make bombs, and since he claimed it was just idle talk, we didn’t take it seriously, but now, he actually..."

Upon reaching this point, overwhelmed with self-blame, her hands clutched at her dress, "Please, Police Chief, punish my negligence."

"Chief Asakura, there’s no need for this; it isn’t your fault. You’ve performed your duties. Someone else made the bomb, which was unexpected by anyone." Aoyama Xiu Xin hadn’t even spoken when Aka Hon Xinzhang said this.

Asakura Yurong clenched her red lips, saying nothing.

"Aka Hon Police Chief is right," Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded his head in agreement and added, "If you really feel uneasy about it, then please help the special crime division find the person who made the bomb."

"Yes!" Asakura Yurong nodded vigorously with her conscience in turmoil, "I will do my utmost!"

"Aka Hon Police Chief, you can attend to your other matters. I have something to discuss privately with Chief Asakura," Aoyama Xiu Xin announced.

Asakura Yurong immediately became nervous yet anticipatory.

Aka Hon Xinzhang bowed deeply before turning to leave.

"Sit," Aoyama Xiu Xin directed.

Hesitating for a moment, Asakura Yurong blushed and lowered her head as she walked around the desk, intending to sit in his lap.

"I meant on the sofa," Aoyama Xiu Xin’s mouth turned up slightly, and just as she was about to sit, he squeezed her firmly on the flank, his expression a mix of a smirk and a smile.

"Ah!" Asakura Yurong started, her body stiffening as if electrified, her face and ears flaming as she repeatedly bowed her head to apologize, "Sorry, I... I’m very sorry!"

She spoke without thinking, quickly walked to the sofa, and sat down, deeply embarrassed by her misunderstanding, wishing she could crawl into a hole.

"Get me a glass of water," Aoyama Xiu Xin requested.

"Yes!" Asakura Yurong, who had just sat down, immediately stood, picked up a glass from the desk, and went to the water dispenser to fill it up. As she bent over, her full, heart-shaped back and the perfect curve of her skirt made her figure exceptionally enticing.

"Nice, hold that position, I like watching that."

Hearing this, Asakura Yurong could only close her eyes and endure the embarrassment while maintaining her pose.

"While the presence of Aka Hon Police Chief earlier prevented me from criticizing you, an important reason for the explosion was your negligence. You must learn from this," Aoyama Xiu Xin, putting on a serious face, deliberately intimidated her.

"Yes! I’m really sorry! I apologize!"

Asakura Yurong repeatedly acknowledged her mistakes with a pained expression.

"An apology should be accompanied by displaying your breasts to show sincerity," Aoyama Xiu Xin stated gravely.

Immediately, Asakura Yurong’s face flushed crimson, and after hesitating for a moment, she approached Aoyama Xiu Xin and set down the water cup.

Then, she bit her lip and complied to show her sincerity.

"Nice, I’ve seen enough of Chief Asakura’s sincerity. It’s ample—alright, go back to work,"

Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes!"

Asakura Yurong responded, her face red, silently putting her clothes back on, bowing, and then turning to leave.

Aoyama Xiu Xin picked up his cup and took a sip.

These were the cushy days of a pampered life.
