Chapter 387: Chapter 345: Ask Her What Else She Wants to Say, Help Carve It on Her Tombstone_2

Under the original agreement, he would give Suzuki Yuki a sum of money after everything was done, and then send her to neighboring South Korea, never to return to Japan in her lifetime.

But now he didn’t know whether it was because Suzuki Yuki had spent the past few days in casinos with Dongye Yuusei, witnessing firsthand how wealthy this big fish was, she wasn’t content with just a little money and thus demanded to double her pay.

"Does she know your identity?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked.

"Yeah, I feared word might get out, didn’t dare to involve others, so I contacted this woman myself. Of course, she doesn’t know you, but I’m afraid that once she reveals my identity to Dongye Yuusei, he’ll immediately think of you and ruin your plans."

"Ah, human greed, truly a terrifying thing," Aoyama Xiu Xin sighed with a pity for humanity, and casually added, "Ask her if she has any last words, and help her engrave it on her tombstone."

Raising her price at this point wouldn’t actually cost him much, but the act itself sent a signal that this woman was very greedy and restless.

If he agreed to her terms today, she would come up with even more outrageous demands tomorrow; therefore, Aoyama Xiu Xin would rather kill her outright than give her a penny more.

This way was actually more reliable; Dongye Yuusei would never know the truth, the matter wouldn’t spread, and his own reputation would remain unaffected.

"Hey!" Nakamura Shinichi had already harbored an intention to kill before making this phone call, and now with a signal from Aoyama Xiu Xin, his face instantly took on a murderous look.

"Earning this damn money really isn’t easy at all."

After hanging up the phone, Aoyama Xiu Xin tossed the receiver aside and slumped back onto the couch, lamenting his situation.

In order to make money, he had cheated and deceived, committed arson and murder, and abused power without scruple.

Japan was on the brink of entering a lost decade, with more and more of Heisei’s abandoned houses lying vacant, but young men of ambition like him would strive against the current!

........

Raising the price suddenly.

Suzuki Yuki was actually very nervous.

In just a few short days, having seen Dongye Yuusei spend money lavishly, losing hundreds of millions of US dollars, the psychological impact on her was enormous.

She didn’t know the role Aoyama Xiu Xin played in this matter, nor did she know his aim was the shares of East Field Construction; she simply thought Nakamura Shinichi’s goal was to swindle Dongye Yuusei’s money.

So, in her view, helping Nakamura Shinichi earn over two hundred million US dollars, receiving only a hundred thousand US dollars for herself seemed too stingy.

Being the one with the greatest merit, asking for one million US dollars wasn’t excessive, was it? Compared to two hundred million, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Prompted by such thoughts, she had the audacity to backpedal and demand more, but she also feared Nakamura Shinichi would be so infuriated he wouldn’t give her a cent.

If that were the case, even if she revealed Nakamura Shinichi’s identity to Dongye Yuusei, she wouldn’t get the hundred thousand US dollars, and in the end, it would only harm others and not benefit herself.

And that was clearly not the outcome she wanted.

She just wanted money, more money.

Amidst her nervousness and anticipation, the phone rang.

"Ring-ring! Ring-ring!"

"Moshi Moshi," she immediately picked up.

"I agree to your terms. Come alone to Ooka Central Park at eleven tonight," Nakamura Shinichi said indifferently. After she demanded more money, she went into hiding, making her hard to find. He needed to lure her out to get a handle on her whereabouts before he could take action.

Suzuki Yuki swallowed and, clutching the phone tightly, mustered the courage to say, "I only want what I deserve, Chief Nakamura, don’t play tricks on me. I’ve already written a will and have arranged to meet a friend tomorrow. If something happens to me, if my friend can’t see me, they will see that will."

She didn’t say what was written in the will, but it undoubtedly included Nakamura Shinichi’s identity and the entire process of the scam.

Without some kind of preparation, she wouldn’t dare meet Nakamura Shinichi alone in the dead of night.

"Hmph, worried about a problem that doesn’t exist, you also know how much I made on this deal, two hundred million US dollars! Do you really think I would miss out on your one million?" Nakamura Shinichi’s eyes brimmed with a murderous intent, yet his tone was filled with disdain.

Suzuki Yuki also thought this made sense, and calmed down a bit, "If that’s the case, it couldn’t be better."

She clearly couldn’t comprehend the thought processes of bureaucrats and capitalists; they would rather spend more money to kill her and deal with the aftermath than directly give her the money.

"Let’s not miss each other tonight, eleven o’clock, don’t be late." Nakamura Shinichi said and then hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, Aoyama Xiu Xin was originally looking over documents in the office, but received a summons from Renping Kuniaki.

"Director, you called for me, may I know your instructions?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin knocked on the door and entered.

"Xiu Xin is here, have a seat." Renping Kuniaki greeted him with a smile and then personally got up to pour him a cup of tea, "Try this, it’s a gift from a friend in China."

"Thank you, Director." Aoyama Xiu Xin slightly stood up to receive the tea with both hands, took a shallow sip, then savored it carefully, his eyes lit up with surprise as he raised his head and praised, "Exquisite, truly a fine tea."

It wasn’t an act; the tea really did taste good.

"Hahaha, even you, an expert on China, say it’s fine tea, then it must really be good," Renping Kuniaki laughed heartily, sat down beside him, and said with a gentle tone, "The reason I called you here today is to ask a favor, on behalf of someone else, to place a person in your First Investigation Division. Of course, rest assured, I’ve looked into it beforehand; this person isn’t someone who just climbs up the ranks through backdoor deals, he’s got real skills, but never had the chance to come to the Police Headquarters. He’s only recently had someone willing to support him."

As the boss, discussing it with his subordinate before placing someone in their department was quite courteous.

"Oh? If Director Renping says he’s truly skilled, then he must be exceptional; our First Investigation Division is indeed short on manpower. Thank you for your consideration," Renping Kuniaki was so polite, Aoyama Xiu Xin had to show respect.

Renping Kuniaki’s smile became even brighter as he patted Aoyama Xiu Xin’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, this person has been through real battles. If he turns out to be useless after joining, you can kick him out, and I won’t say a word."

"That I cannot do, I would have to turn a blind eye for your sake," Aoyama Xiu Xin joked, then curiously followed up, "Who has asked you for this favor?"

"You’ve definitely heard of him, Prosecutor Nakamura Tatsuyuki from the Supreme Prosecutors Office. How could I refuse when he asked me?" Renping Kuniaki spread his hands helplessly.

"Ah, so it’s Prosecutor Nakamura, then that’s certainly a favor that needs to be granted," Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded in agreement, but his mind was already churning.

What was Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s intention?

Hadn’t he already sent Edogawa Renju undercover through more secretive means? Why would he use such a crude method to place another person?

Could it be that he was mistaken, and Edogawa Renju wasn’t Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s undercover at all? Was the person about to be inserted the real undercover?

Aoyama Xiu Xin quickly came back to his senses, "May I know the name of my soon-to-be subordinate?"

"Here is his file," Renping Kuniaki said as he stood up, walked to his desk, picked up a document, and returned to hand it to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Take a look."

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin took the document with both hands, opened it, and began to read: Heize Tian’an, male, 35 years old, from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Division at Muehe District Police Station.

Not from a professional group background, he had been awarded multiple times for his bravery and had a reputation for being fearlessly on the front lines.

After reading, Aoyama Xiu Xin raised his head, smiled at Renping Kuniaki, and said, "He truly appears to be a valiant warrior."

"After all, he is someone Prosecutor Nakamura has taken an interest in promoting," Renping Kuniaki agreed deeply.

Many bureaucrats might not like Nakamura Tatsuyuki, but they recognized his integrity.

Aoyama Xiu Xin stood up with the file, bowed, and said, "Director, I’ll get back to work then."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiu Xin. Take care."

After saying goodbye to Renping Kuniaki and returning to his office, Aoyama Xiu Xin immediately summoned Yoshikai Yoshitsune to look into whether there had been any connection between Heize Tian’an, Edogawa Renju, and Nakamura Tatsuyuki.

He couldn’t afford to be caught off guard by Old Man Nakamura’s schemes.
