Chapter 472: Chapter 412: Killing Someone for Fun, Corrupt Officials Feel Inferior When They Meet Him (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Aoyama Xiu Xin liked to threaten people the most.

But he hated being threatened the most.

What he hated even more was being threatened with people he cared about.

Whenever someone threatened him, he would kill them without hesitation, and now he had the intent to kill.

"It’s just a friendly reminder," Miyazaki Yu, toying with a bullet, was not afraid of Aoyama Xiu Xin, who was staring at him coldly. Instead, he felt an indescribable thrill, a thrill of being able to press down on such a big shot, "Deputy Chief Aoyama, please think thrice before you act."

"Haruko," Aoyama Xiu Xin called out to the kitchen.

Aoyama Haruko came out, "What is it?"

"You go upstairs first," Aoyama Xiu Xin said.

Aoyama Haruko was somewhat stunned at his words, glanced at Miyazaki Yu blankly, did not ask further, turned back to the kitchen to turn off the stove, and then quickly went upstairs with small, hurried steps.

Miyazaki Yu’s gaze followed Aoyama Haruko, watching her as she went upstairs until she was out of sight before he looked away, shaking his head, "Such a virtuous and beautiful woman. If she were to die, even I would regret it."

He had no idea that danger was about to come.

"You’re really annoying," Aoyama Xiu Xin looked at Miyazaki Yu and said, then rose to his feet abruptly, grabbed his hair, and violently slammed his head onto the tabletop, seizing an ashtray with the other hand and smashing it down without hesitation, "Boom," blood splattered, warm and scarlet, dots of blood covered Aoyama Xiu Xin’s face.

Even though Aoyama Xiu Xin had deliberately held back, Miyazaki Yu was not killed with one blow. With eyes wide in shock and disbelief, he struggled, unable to utter a sound.

In his wildest dreams, he hadn’t expected Aoyama Xiu Xin, a police officer, to suddenly lash out and attempt to kill him.

How dare he! How could he do such a thing!

Idiot! Does he have no regard for the law at all!

Aoyama Xiu Xin looked at him with a detached expression, emotionless, silently grasping the bloodstained ashtray and repeatedly smashing it on his head, blood splattering everywhere, until Miyazaki Yu soon died.

"Damn it, you made me break my rules, do you know how long it’s been since I last killed someone with my own hands?" Aoyama Xiu Xin grumbled, tossing away the ashtray, "Send two people in."

The bodyguards outside all had keys.

Jin Yucheng and two female bodyguards pushed the door and entered.

Seeing Miyazaki Yu lying on the table, bleeding in a pool of blood, the pupils of the three contracted slightly, but none of them spoke, rather they bowed.

"Clean this up. I’m going to take a shower."

Aoyama Xiu Xin sniffed, grabbed a tissue to wipe the blood off his hands, tossed it aside, and went upstairs.

Killing someone, to him, was no different from crushing an ant, without any emotional disturbance.

"Oh, right. No need to dispose of this idiot’s body too thoroughly. Just clean up any traces I left, and dump it in some desolate wilderness."

Miyazaki Yu’s body still had a role to play.

"Hi!" the three of them responded in unison.

As soon as Aoyama Xiu Xin stepped upstairs, Jin Yucheng and the others immediately got to work, proficiently dividing the labor to clean the scene, dragging suitcases to remove the body, then cleaning the bloodstains, and finally spraying perfume to cover the smell of blood.

As for the two underlings waiting outside the villa for Miyazaki Yu, they naturally also silently accompanied him on his journey.

Three vicious drug traffickers just mysteriously died quietly in the home of a police officer.

By the time Aoyama Xiu Xin came downstairs after his shower, the living room was spotless. He sat at the place he’d been before and made a call to Nakamura Shinichi, "Go now, under the pretext of an investigation, and immediately take all the surveillance footage within five kilometers of my house and destroy it."

As long as the surveillance was dealt with, there would be no evidence to prove that Miyazaki Yu had been at his house before he went missing.

And no evidence to prove he killed him.

Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t often commit murder, but that didn’t mean he never had; he was a cop, so he knew exactly how to destroy evidence of murder.

Besides, even if someone could prove that Miyazaki Yu died in his house, he would still have a way to get off scot-free.

After hanging up the call, he exhaled, his thoughts beginning to drift. Miyazaki Yu was dead – does that mean the maker of Number 23 and the mastermind behind the shooting case can no longer be caught? Did the credit for the case just fly away?

Certainly not. Who could prove that Miyazaki Yu was the developer of Number 23 and the mastermind behind the shooting case?

Clearly, there was someone else!

The insightful Mr. Aoyama would surely root out that person!

However, the need to quickly cultivate trustworthy people of his own became urgent. Otherwise, everything would have to be done by Nakamura Shinichi. Fortunately, after tonight, the opportunity was ripe to greatly develop his confidantes.

"Xiu Xin, can I come down now?" a timid voice came from upstairs, interrupting his thoughts.

Aoyama Xiu Xin came back to his senses, "Yes, you can."

"Eh, has the guest left?" Aoyama Haruko came downstairs to find Miyazaki Yu gone and asked in surprise.

"Yes, he’s left," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied naturally, nodding, "I personally saw him out."

By now, he’s probably nearing Ghost Gate.

"Oh, our Xiu Xin is really so polite and hospitable," Aoyama Haruko said with a sweet smile, praising Aoyama Xiu Xin like she was speaking to a child.

Aoyama Xiu Xin had long been used to it, he laughed helplessly and asked, "Haruko, what soup are you making?"

"Abalone soup, huh? Doesn’t Xiu Xin love abalone the most?" Aoyama Haruko replied with a giggly smile.

Xiu Xin muttered under his breath, "Not all abalone, only the ones from Sister-in-law are the best."

"What?" Aoyama Haruko hadn’t heard clearly.

Xiu Xin changed the subject, "Nothing, Sister-in-law, go and serve the soup, please. I can’t wait to taste it."

Having just killed a person, it was strenuous; he needed to replenish his strength.

"Of course, Xiu Xin, just wait a moment, it’ll be right up."

His sister-in-law’s abalone soup was delectably flavorful, smooth on the palate yet satisfyingly gelatinous. He downed three large bowls in quick succession before he headed to the Maple Club for the victory celebration.

.........

Xiu Xin thought he had arrived early enough.

Unexpectedly, by the time he got there, he realized everyone else had already arrived, and he was in fact the last to show up.

"I’m really sorry for keeping Director Fujimoto and all of you waiting," Xiu Xin bowed repeatedly in apology.

"Come now, our protagonist, our hero, sit next to me," Fujimoto Takayoshi laughed heartily as he stood up to pull him to a seat and poured him a glass of drink, saying, "It’s not that you’re late; it’s just that we came too early. You shouldn’t feel bad."

They had already held a small meeting about initiating him into the organization before Xiu Xin’s arrival.

"Hey! Regardless, it’s not right to make so many seniors wait. I’m truly anxious," Xiu Xin said, with a look of embarrassment.

"Mr. Aoyama, you still can’t relax, huh? Seems like you’re not familiar enough with everyone yet," Fujimoto Takayoshi shook his head and then raised his glass, "Come on, everyone, let’s toast to our great hero."

"To Deputy Chief Aoyama, please drain your glass."

"Thank you, everyone, thank you so much," Xiu Xin held up his glass to toast all around and then emptied it in one go.

Following that was casual conversation revolving around the serial dismemberment case they had just solved, with everyone offering their views.

After the third round of drinks and the full spread of flavors, Fujimoto Takayoshi suddenly put his glass down, making a "bang" sound.

In that instant, everyone knew it was time to discuss serious matters.

"Mr. Aoyama, you’re a very connected and capable person with limitless prospects. I admire you and am willing to be your friend, and so are all my colleagues from the Hokkaido headquarters. I just wonder how you feel about this," Fujimoto Takayoshi said with a burning gaze.

Standing up quickly to express himself, Xiu Xin said, "To become friends with Director Fujimoto and gentlemen here is an honor I’ve been longing for. Please take good care of me in the future."

"Mr. Aoyama, there’s no hurry. Hear me out before you decide whether you want to be friends with us or not," Fujimoto Takayoshi raised his hand, gesturing him to sit as he continued at a measured pace, "The shooting incidents caused by the Miyazaki family have angered everyone. Not only because of the terrible impact but also because it harmed our interests. All four major Violent Gangs in Hokkaido are supported by our police force, we share a large portion of profits from them, and we have a stake in all the shadowy industries in Hokkaido. Now, Mr. Aoyama, would you still like to be our friend?"

Not just him; everyone else was also watching Xiu Xin with various expressions, waiting for his stance.

Fujimoto Takayoshi had laid his cards on the table, speaking openly, and Xiu Xin knew that hesitating would completely ruin his chances to advance in Hokkaido.

He laughed and said, "Director Fujimoto is so frank with me that I might as well share some of my affairs in Tokyo. Currently, I control the largest international smuggling business in Tokyo Port in cooperation with the Maritime Security Bureau, the automatic loan machines were my invention, I have a share in Nozawa Financial Corporation, and all major Violent Gangs in Tokyo have cooperated with me, so I think I should fit into the headquarters’ family very well."

The people present all gasped. Hokkaido was too far from Tokyo, and their knowledge of Xiu Xin was limited to some public and remotely acquired information they could gather in a short time.

Some things were being heard for the very first time.

All eyes turned again to Fujimoto Takayoshi.

Big brother, this kid’s greedier than us!

He’s playing a bigger game than us!

Fujimoto Takayoshi, who was just previously fixed on Xiu Xin with an intense gaze, prompting him to take a stand, suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed. Compared to Xiu Xin’s brilliant achievements, they seemed rather petty.

Now, the worry wasn’t whether Xiu Xin was one of them, but whether someone accustomed to eating big fish and meat would be satisfied with their small fry.

"I underestimated Mr. Aoyama. Although Hokkaido isn’t as big as Tokyo, it’s still some income nonetheless. I hope Mr. Aoyama won’t dismiss it," Fujimoto Takayoshi faced Xiu Xin with increased politeness.

Faking sincerity, Xiu Xin said, "How could I? Director Fujimoto and the gentlemen only earn that little bit of hard-earned trivial money, and you still share some with me. I couldn’t be more grateful."

Everyone: ".........."

Why did that sound so odd?

Swearing to Amaterasu, it was the first time in many years they felt inferior and ashamed because they hadn’t been greedy enough. When it comes to corrupt officials, Lord Jing was the true master!

"Ahem, well then, let’s all raise our glasses and welcome Mr. Aoyama to our big family."

Fujimoto Takayoshi hurriedly changed the subject.

"Welcome, Mr. Aoyama!"

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered in unison.

"Director, if I may be so bold to ask, why isn’t Deputy Minister Yamashita here?" Xiu Xin curiously inquired.

He hadn’t seen Yamashita Kogoro at the welcome reception last time.

And he was absent again this evening at the victory celebration.

As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly grew quiet, and everyone turned to look at Fujimoto Takayoshi.

They waited for him to explain to Xiu Xin what was going on.
