Chapter 395: Chapter 352: Five Female Corpses, Assassination, Jin Yucheng Strikes (Request for Monthly Pass)

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Just as Nakamura Shinichi had barely left, someone was already knocking on the door to Aoyama Xiu Xin’s office again.

Having gone to bed late the previous night, Aoyama Xiu Xin, who was just about to catch a few more Z’s, had to muster his energy, "Come in."

Asai Ayumi, in full uniform, pushed open the door.

"What is it?" Aoyama Xiu Xin lifted his chin slightly.

Asai Ayumi shrugged her shoulders and tossed a document to Aoyama Xiu Xin, saying, "The guy we shot dead last night wasn’t the serial rapist and murderer. We’ve tracked his recent movements; he wasn’t in Tokyo when the rapes and murders occurred, he was living in Osaka the whole time."

"Oh, is that so?" Aoyama Xiu Xin picked up the document and casually tossed it aside. Having anticipated this, he was unconcerned, "It seems my sources were off. But the guy from last night resisted arrest with a gun and killed Heize Tian’an. He was no good either."

"There’s another thing." Asai Ayumi, without any suspicion, tossed another document to Aoyama Xiu Xin and said, "This morning, someone reported that while digging for fishing bait in an undeveloped field in Adachi District, they unearthed two female corpses that died less than half a month ago."

"In addition to this, the police unearthed three other bodies nearby that had decomposed to the point of only leaving skeletal remains, which also seem to be female, similar in age to the first two and also quite young. Preliminary deduction suggests that these bodies were buried sporadically over the last few years. The case has been transferred to us."

Aoyama Xiu Xin opened the document envelope and found it contained photos of the excavation site. Three sets of small skeletal remains were laid out on mats, next to the two naked female corpses. One had decayed significantly, while the other had not started to decompose, and bore distinct bruises and signs of having been abused and violated in a most inhumane manner before death.

"Let’s go to the scene." Aoyama Xiu Xin immediately stood up.

The discovery of five bodies at once, all underage—that was a major case. Now that the case had been handed over to the Police Headquarters, it was imperative for him to visit the scene, otherwise it would appear that it wasn’t being taken seriously.

Not to mention there might be reporters ready to smear his name.

Where there was a big case in Tokyo,

His detective’s presence was a must.

In order to maintain the secure and happy lives of the Japanese people, Mr. Aoyama tirelessly journeyed to the front lines. So what if he skimmed a little?

If he didn’t skim and only gave, what could the Japanese people give to repay their debt to him? What could they give?

Asai Ayumi nodded and echoed, "Aye!"

Then the two set off for Adachi District. Upon arrival at the scene, from a distance they saw a large crowd of onlookers and journalists already gathered. Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asai Ayumi walked over under the escort of several police officers.

"It’s Police Chief Aoyama! Police Chief Aoyama is here!"

"Look, Police Chief Aoyama has arrived!"

Noticing Aoyama Xiu Xin, the onlooking nationals and journalists became excited, turning around and crowding around him so tightly that it was nearly impossible to move. Microphones were pushed toward him from all directions. Hmm, it was a bit uncomfortable—this scene could be likened to some movies where the heroine knelt on the ground surrounded by a circle of males.

"Police Chief Aoyama, what are your thoughts on finding so many female corpses all at once?"

"Do you think it was the work of the same perpetrator?"

"Will you be personally handling this case?"

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please, everyone, calm down! Be quiet for a moment!" Aoyama Xiu Xin took the megaphone handed to him by a subordinate. He saw a stone nearby and considered standing on it to speak but decided against it. After all, even Yu Cheng had been shot. What if someone took a potshot at him?

After all, he had offended no small number of people.

And there were many who wanted him dead.

Standing in the crowd, Aoyama Xiu Xin raised one hand high with the megaphone and said, "In the face of finding so many unidentified female corpses at once, as a police officer, as a man! First and foremost, I am deeply sorrowed. They were all so young, yet they were murdered at what should have been the most carefree time of their lives! Secondly is anger, intense anger. How cruel, vicious, and devoid of conscience must someone be to do something like this?"

"Here, I pledge, no, I should say I promise. I promise the victims, I solemnly promise the entire nation, that I, Chief of Police Headquarters’ First Investigative Division, Aoyama Xiu Xin, will take personal charge of this case. No matter how much time it takes, the perpetrator will be brought to justice!"

Let’s not worry about whether the perpetrator could be caught or how to catch him; a promise to solve the case was enough.

"Well said, Police Chief Aoyama!"

"Support Police Chief Aoyama! Punish the criminal harshly!"

Everyone applauded and cheered excitedly.

"Police Chief Aoyama, you have caught so many criminals, including some extremely vicious and powerful people, have you never feared retaliation?" A journalist asked an off-topic question.

The chatter gradually died down, everyone eagerly fixated on Aoyama Xiu Xin, waiting to hear his response.

"I’m scared," Aoyama Xiu Xin answered without hesitation.

Everyone was stunned, exchanging looks and murmuring amongst themselves, clearly not expecting this answer.

Aoyama Xiu Xin continued, "Of course I’m afraid of dying. After all, if I were to die prematurely, wouldn’t those criminals run rampant for decades more? Each additional day I live is a deterrent to them!"

With that statement, he managed to raise the spirits of everyone once again as they roared with approval.

"So, Police Chief Aoyama, what if someone were to assassinate you in this chaotic situation?" A young journalist standing at the back struggled to push forward.
