Chapter 548: Chapter 464: Classified as an Accidental Fire, Sex is a Double-Edged Sword (7300 words, asking for monthly votes) _2

Regardless of the motivation behind the question, it had already threatened his interests, so naturally, he shouldn’t be blamed for being serious.

"Me... I didn’t! I was just making a reasonable conjecture based on reality! I just don’t want the victims to die in vain!" Faced with Aoyama Xiu Xin’s fierce cross-examination, the journalist initially panicked but soon calmed down and argued forcefully.

"But your actions make me have to doubt your motives!" Aoyama Xiu Xin also raised his voice to chide the other, saying coldly, "What we need are journalists who record and report the facts, conveying big and small news to the public, not some unethical individuals who create sensationalism and seek fame by exploiting a tragedy! The eight lives lost are undoubtedly a human tragedy, yet you still try to profit from their deaths, how despicable is that?"

At this point, he paused, looked up at the other journalists, exhaled, and said, "Sorry, I’m not in a good mood right now, and I’m unable to stabilize my emotions, so I won’t take any more interviews today. Please wait patiently for the police announcement for the details of the case."

As he finished speaking, he waved his hands and, protected by a group of policemen, walked to his car without turning back.

"Police Chief Aoyama, don’t leave in such a hurry!"

"We still haven’t asked our questions! Chief of Police!"

"Chief of Police! Police Chief Aoyama..."

The journalists panicked and chased after Aoyama Xiu Xin, calling out to stop him, but they could only helplessly watch him get in the car and leave.

Disappointed, they couldn’t help but blame the journalist who had angered Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Consequently, they didn’t show him any sympathy.

"Ha! A know-it-all who sees conspiracies in everything, our country isn’t that bad!"

"Exactly, he got his moment of fame but ruined our chance for an interview, so selfish!"

"Nothing but a clown seeking attention, I wonder which agency he belongs to, to hire such a person..."

Listening to the sharp and scathing mockery from his peers, Uesugi Yuusaku turned pale, his heart filled with anger and resentment. He clenched his fists, kept his head down, and silently turned away.

He had questioned earlier because over the years, there had been too many tragic incidents caused by demolitions, and the suspicious deaths of all eight people burning to death made it reasonable to question the police’s conclusion.

But unexpectedly, Aoyama Xiu Xin had harshly slammed him without courtesy, causing him to lose face and be furious, so he secretly resolved to uncover the truth.

If he could uncover hidden secrets, not only could he clear his name and gain fame, but he could also seek justice for the deceased and show up the arrogant Aoyama Xiu Xin!

" Heisei’s No.1 Detective? So arrogant that he can’t hear any normal, reasonable questions, he doesn’t deserve the title!"

The arsonist, Yamada Shinryu, was actually hidden among the crowd, and hearing the police write this off as an accident surprised him too, as he was unaware of the hidden details and thought the police were just incompetent. It seemed "Heisei’s No.1 Detective" was merely a name.

He also breathed a sigh of relief. Since the police had labeled it an accidental event, he no longer had to worry about being caught and could appear openly.

However, his resentment had yet to fade because Yagyu Tao, who forced him to sign the contract and burned his house, was just a dog of Beiyuan Construction Co., Ltd. It was Beiyuan Construction that really burned his house and forcibly bought his land.

Thus, merely killing a few dogs couldn’t extinguish the fire in his heart; the owner of the dogs needed to be taken down too. His house was burned and with eight lives on his shoulder; he became a ruthless person with nothing to fear, only eager for a fight!

When Aoyama Xiu Xin returned to the Police Headquarters, he immediately called Nakamura Shinichi over and said, "There was a journalist named Uesugi Yuusaku at the fire scene who was a bit problematic, get someone to check him out, find out his motives for his questions, and if someone’s behind it, give me a result soon."

"Yes!" Nakamura Shinichi responded respectfully.

Aoyama Xiu Xin continued, "Both fires were not accidents but arson. Have someone secretly investigate the arsonist’s identity, and make sure there are no leaks."

If Yagyu Tao was indeed burned to death because he was pressured by Beiyuan Construction Co. to deal with the relocation victims, then the arsonist might take out their anger on Beiyuan Construction and further seek revenge.

To prevent unforeseen problems, they needed to quietly find the arsonist and deal with him securely.

And figuring this out shouldn’t be difficult, the most likely suspect was the instigator whose house caught fire.

"Yes!" Nakamura Shinichi responded again, but didn’t hurry off, instead, he opened his mouth a few times as if wanting to say something but having difficulty speaking.

Aoyama Xiu Xin raised an eyebrow at him, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

"Yes!" Nakamura Shinichi bowed apologetically and then sheepishly added, "Chief, my wife’s birthday is coming up in a few days, so I would like to take leave and go back to surprise her, I hope you would approve."

"Alright." Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t hesitate and approved it promptly, adding, "I also need to go back to Tokyo in a couple of days, so we can go together."

He too had to return to celebrate his godfather’s birthday.

Moreover, like him, Nakamura Shinichi had not returned to Tokyo since they had moved to Hokkaido.
