Chapter 466: Chapter 408: Hokkaido Police’s Law Enforcement Style, New Developments (Request for Monthly Pass)_2

The silver-haired youth finally caught his breath, bent over and retched violently for a while, and after alleviating some of the pain, he weakly lifted his head and said, "He’s hiding in room 302 of the Dadong Hotel next to Datoru Park, please don’t torture me anymore."

It’s not that brothers aren’t human, it’s that these police are inhuman! Little brother, don’t blame me for betraying you.

"Thanks for cooperating," Mikuriya Shouta patted his face and then, with disgust, wiped his hands, pulled out his wallet, counted a stack of cash, and placed it on the bar to pay for the drinks, stubbed out his cigarette, and left with long strides.

This is the enforcement style of the Hokkaido Police.

Following the address given by the silver-haired youth, Mikuriya Shouta indeed captured a leader involved in tonight’s shooting, being the first among all the deployed officers to successfully capture a target and report back.

Through interrogation, they learned that the mastermind behind it was Miyazaki Yu, among other information. Believing he had made a significant contribution, he was excited and immediately reported to Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Deputy Director, based on the interrogation, the individuals orchestrating this shooting and controlling the drug-addicted personnel is a man named Miyazaki Yu. He exchanges their loyalty for 5g of a new drug each month and promises them a share of the sales," Mikuriya Shouta reported.

"Wow, Chief Mikuriya, the information you’ve provided is very important," Although Aoyama Xiu Xin already knew this from Nozaki Cangjian, he still had to feign delight and appreciation.

Mikuriya Shouta bowed, "Hi!"

"Did you report this to your supervisor?" Aoyama Xiu Xin suddenly asked.

Normally, Mikuriya Shouta should have first reported to his direct supervisor, who would then report to him, rather than coming to him directly.

Skipping levels in reporting is something Aoyama Xiu Xin often did at the Police Headquarters because it was designated by Renping Guoxiong and his direct supervisor was his future father-in-law.

Mikuriya Shouta was stunned, then respectfully answered, "I was worried about any delay, so I rushed to report to you immediately."

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled, not so much fearing delays, as afraid that his superiors would take most of the credit.

This man is interesting.

Being able to capture one of the shooters first out of all the police showed his capability, and skipping levels to report showed his shrewdness and unwillingness to be ordinary. Reporting to him instead of Oda Take showed he wanted to get close to him.

Now, Aoyama Xiu Xin could truly trust only Nakamura Shinichi, so he naturally had to show goodwill to someone actively seeking his favor.

"Indeed, Mikuriya’s concerns are valid. Go with your team to their warehouse and see if there’s any evidence to be found," Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded.

Mikuriya Shouta bowed again, "Hi!"

Then he turned around to leave.

"Mikuriya, keep up the good work. I appreciate talent like yours. A gem, even when dusty, will shine again if someone wipes away the surface," Aoyama Xiu Xin said slowly.

Mikuriya Shouta, thrilled by the affirmation from Aoyama Xiu Xin, stopped, turned around, bowed once more, and then left without a word.

He was still emotionally charged after leaving the office.

He worried about his superiors taking credit because he knew his boss was capable of such acts.

And choosing to report to Aoyama Xiu Xin instead of Oda Take was because he felt that while Oda had been stationed in Hokkaido for many years and had sufficient staff, Aoyama, being relatively new, definitely needed people. Gaining his trust now would surely bring great benefits.

It’s better to be a head chicken than a tail phoenix.

After working tirelessly all night without restricting investigative measures, the Hokkaido Police demonstrated extreme efficiency and captured all the shooters involved in the shooting incident before dawn.

At seven in the morning, the senior officials had finished their breakfast in the cafeteria and hurriedly started a meeting.

"Based on the current consolidated information, Chief of Police Aoyama’s suspicions are correct; the mastermind is indeed Miyazaki Yu. However, the testimonies of these shooters alone are not sufficient for conviction; more concrete physical evidence is necessary," Fujimoto Takayoshi knocked on the table to reenergize everyone, looked around calmly and stated.

Oda Take immediately stood up and said, "Please rest assured, Minister, our Criminal Department will urgently gather the evidence against Miyazaki Yu to bring him to justice."

Subsequently, including Aoyama Xiu Xin, all the leaders of the Criminal Department stood up and bowed in agreement.

"It’s good to have a direction for the investigation. I trust that you all will not disappoint me, especially the ’Police Tiger’ Chief of Police Aoyama. I hope you continue to excel and become the ’Hokkaido Tiger,’" Fujimoto Takayoshi glanced at Aoyama Xiu Xin, then exhaled deeply, "You all have worked hard last night, meeting adjourned."

With those words, he stood up and left first.

Others might rest, but he could not.

Because he had to attend a press conference called by the Governor of Hokkaido, and after the conference, meet with senior leaders from the Yamaguchi Group, Tangben Group, Matsuboto Association, and other major violent groups to urge them to control their subordinates, quickly elect new leaders, and restrain the scale of their conflicts without resorting to firearms, to prevent further public panic.

If he could not stabilize these major gangs and then cooperate with the police to suppress smaller gangs, Hokkaido’s underworld would surely be caught in a struggle for supremacy, inevitably affecting public safety.

For the peace of Hokkaido and the happiness of the citizens of Sapporo, as well as the extra income of his policemen, Fujimoto Takayoshi felt he had truly given a lot.

.........

On the morning of February 7, several major television networks in Japan reported on the shooting incident in Sapporo from the previous night, shocking countless citizens.

It’s the ’90s, and still, such large-scale shootings occur, is the anti-gang law practically useless?

The Governor of Hokkaido, Mayor of Sapporo, Fujimoto Takayoshi, and other local officials all bowed in apology at a new round of press conferences, and stated that the perpetrators involved in the shooting had been captured, the mastermind was under investigation, and asked the citizens to patiently wait.

At such a high-profile press conference, Aoyama Xiu Xin naturally had no place to attend; he was catching up on sleep in his office.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Unfortunately, he was awakened by a series of knocks.

Aoyama Xiu Xin opened his eyes, "Come in."

The next moment, Nakamura Shinichi entered with a file bag, bowed, and said, "Chief, I have gathered the past records of Panasonic Hideyoshi and also marked the places he appeared together with that worker."

As he spoke, he bent over and presented the files with both hands.

Aoyama Xiu Xin suddenly felt energized, not so sleepy anymore, and quickly grabbed the file bag and opened it.
