Chapter 222 - 215: All Japanese Are His Lawful Property
Chapter 222: Chapter 215: All Japanese Are His Lawful PropertyDubian Youli’s study was small, crammed yet not messy, with a double sofa placed by the door, clearly meant for receiving guests.
"Mr. Aoyama, please have a seat."
"Director Du Bian, after you."
After the two sat down, Dubian Youli casually picked up the cigarette box from the table, tapped out one and handed it to Aoyama Xiu Xin.
Aoyama Xiu Xin took the cigarette and nodded slightly as a thank you.
"Ah," Dubian Youli lit one for himself and deeply inhaled, then after organizing his thoughts, he spoke, "Mr. Aoyama, it’s unlikely that Yoshikai Youzai killed Takai Baoyu by accident, right?"
His words were startling.
"What makes you say that, Director Du Bian?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked with a look of surprise, seriously adding, "This concerns a colleague’s innocence; do you have any evidence for such a claim? We can’t be careless with such matters!"
"Mr. Aoyama, you’re very cautious indeed," said Dubian Youli with a helpless smile, spreading his hands, "I truly wish to speak candidly with Mr. Aoyama today. Those gunmen were actually sent by us to silence Takai Baoyu. Knowing this, you should feel at ease."
Aoyama Xiu Xin’s eyes narrowed slightly as he silently smoked, waiting for him to continue.
"The problem now is that although Takai Baoyu is dead, the matter is not yet over," exclaimed Dubian Youli with a sigh, speaking gravely, "Mr. Aoyama, do you know how we located him? It was because we turned one of his bodyguards, a man named Matsuboto Hirokuni."
"Takai Baoyu had only brought his two most trusted bodyguards that day, one being Matsuboto, the other named Hasegawa Ze. The day Takai Baoyu died, both Hasegawa Ze and Matsuboto Hirokuni miraculously escaped unscathed."
"Yet just last night, Matsuboto Hirokuni was kidnapped right outside his home, and we still don’t know if he is dead or alive. One of the kidnappers shared a striking resemblance to Hasegawa Ze."
"Director Du Bian, speak plainly," Aoyama Xiu Xin had guessed his implication and couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread toward this Hasegawa Ze.
Dubian Youli looked directly at him and said, "It’s clear that Hasegawa Ze is seeking revenge for Takai Baoyu. He won’t stop at Yoshikai Youzai and might trace things back to Mr. Aoyama through Yoshikai. That’s why I believe we should join forces to control him as soon as possible."
"My men are already
Upon hearing this, Aoyama Xiu Xin instinctively raised his head and glanced at Mei Bu Du Bian sitting opposite him.
Feeling his gaze, Mei Bu Du Bian gave him a polite smile and continued eating.
"Arrest him," Aoyama Xiu Xin uttered a single word.
Although he had just reached an agreement with Du Bian Youli on the matter of Hasegawa Ze, there were no grounds for leniency towards the Du Bians now that evidence of their guilt had surfaced. After all, they weren’t particularly close to begin with.
It was better to let someone else take the lead and earn the accolades.
Without Du Bian Youli, he would still have to find Hasegawa Ze; the two matters did not affect one another.
Such a living beast like Mei Bu Du Bian needed to be caged sooner rather than later, lest he harm more people.
As a man aspiring to become the Emperor of Japan, he had already come to a realization— every Japanese person was his property.
As the owner, the master, he could oppress, humiliate, and exploit these Japanese people, but if anyone else did so, they were damaging his interests!
So, he would share no common ground with evil Ծ‸Ծ!
Mr. Aoyama’s sense of ownership was very strong.
"Mr. Aoyama, you always have a multitude of affairs to manage," said Director Dubian with a chuckle after Aoyama Xiu Xin hung up. "Even after work, you’re addressing work matters. Do you also earn accomplishments just from eating a meal?"
Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head, "Director Du Bian, don’t tease me. Who doesn’t know that our investigative division is the busiest in Police Headquarters? One can’t even enjoy a meal in peace; I truly want some rest."
"But Mr. Aoyama, you can’t afford to rest. If you feel relaxed, then the millions of citizens in Tokyo can’t sleep easy. So, for the sake of the people, you must continue to toil," Du Bian Youli praised earnestly.
Even though he had issued the arrest order, Aoyama Xiu Xin still appeared nonchalant as he ate, generously offering compliments, "The lady of the house really does have superb culinary skills."
"Glad you like it, Mr. Aoyama," Mrs. Du Bian replied with a modest smile, displaying grace despite being past forty and having put on weight. She still had a certain charm, a reward for the readers who do not cast their monthly votes.
After the meal, Mrs. Du Bian cleaned up while Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asai Ayumi rested in the living room.
"Brother Xiu Xin, I have just graduated, and I am also preparing for the civil service exams. Do you have any advice for me?" Mei Bu Du Bian, seemingly following his father’s lead, took the initiative to bridge the gap with Aoyama Xiu Xin.
Aoyama Xiu Xin looked at him, smiled, and spoke indifferently, "I suggest you work in a prison."
"The correctional system?" Mei Bu Du Bian frowned slightly, laughed helplessly, and said, "Brother Xiu Xin, prison is too boring. I can’t stand the solitude. Better to be a policeman, and maybe I’ll end up working under you. Brother Xiu Xin, please take good care of me."
Aoyama Xiu Xin noticed something interesting; this fellow’s gaze seemed to unintentionally drift towards Asai Ayumi every so often. No wonder, since Asai Ayumi, dressed in uniform with black high-heeled shoes, was indeed very enticing.
He deliberately placed his hand on Asai Ayumi’s leg, feigning distraction as he caressed her, "You have your dad and so many uncles backing you. You’d do fine without me."
Asai Ayumi glared at him, annoyed and embarrassed. They were guests at someone else’s home; couldn’t his hands stay still?
Mei Bu Du Bian watched this scene, his face expressionless, but he was almost grinding his molars in frustration.
Damn it, if he could have a beauty like Asai Ayumi, he would gladly trade it for a promotion or wealth!
"We are all old timers now, it will be up to you young folks in the end," Director Du Bian said with a chuckle, shaking his head and advising his son, "You must spend more time with your Brother Xiu Xin and learn from him."
"Yes, Father!" Mei Bu Du Bian nodded obediently.
Aoyama Xiu Xin, still touching Asai Ayumi’s leg, tilted his chin toward her, "Peel an orange for me to cleanse the palate."
Asai Ayumi peeled an orange, then fed it to Aoyama Xiu Xin one segment at a time.
Aoyama Xiu Xin’s tongue occasionally grazed over her fingertips, causing her cheeks to blush with shy allure.
"Mr. Aoyama and Ayumi really are quite affectionate," Director Du Bian teased, understanding his son all too well as he stepped on his son’s foot and gave him a fierce look.
Mei Bu Du Bian, though reluctant, had no choice but to withdraw his gaze and dare not look any longer.
"Ring-ring-ring! Ring-ring-ring!"
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Mei Bu Du Bian hurriedly got up to answer the door. He had barely opened a crack when, with a bang, the door was violently kicked open. One after another, a group of police officers rushed in, and before Mei Bu Du Du Bian could react, he was pinned to the ground, hands secured behind his back, unable to move.
The other officers did not stop and charged into the living room.
"Freeze! Police! Hands up!"
