Tokyo: From Lawless Madpolice to Minister-Chapter 604 - 497: Pleading Guilty and Submitting to Punishment, Mr. Aoyama Shows Mercy to the Masses (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month’s End)

Chapter 604: Chapter 497: Pleading Guilty and Submitting to Punishment, Mr. Aoyama Shows Mercy to the Masses (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month’s End)

In the bright and spacious living room, under the exquisite crystal chandelier, Panasonic Toyoshige stood with clenched fists, his arms bulging with veins, his eyes bloodshot, appearing ferocious but actually timid inside; Aoyama Xiu Xin sat relaxed, his expression calm, but his presence seemed more daunting and oppressive than that of Panasonic Toyoshige.

Neither spoke, and the living room was so quiet that one could hear breathing and the ticking of the clock on the wall.

"Aoyama Xiu Xin, there is no deep hatred between us that necessitates a life-or-death struggle," Panasonic Toyoshige’s face gradually softened, and his pace of speech slowed.

But Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head gently, retorting softly, "Between us, there is the vengeance of killing my child."

"I can let it go!" Panasonic Toyoshige exclaimed.

Aoyama Xiu Xin replied, "Really? I don’t believe it."

Panasonic Toyoshige felt his emotions on the brink of control again, his face twitched slightly, and he swiftly made an offer, "You have evidence of my guilt, so you need not worry I’ll retaliate. Spare me, and I’ll give you a large sum of money as a ransom—how about that?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head silently.

"Damn it!" Panasonic Toyoshige lost control again, slamming his hands on the coffee table, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Must you drive me to my death?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded silently without a word.

Panasonic Toyoshige breathed heavily, no longer speaking.

"Then prepare to collect your son’s corpse," Aoyama Xiu Xin threw down these words and stood up to leave.

Panasonic Toyoshige, still silent, leaned on the table with trembling hands, his voice hoarse, "Wait."

Aoyama Xiu Xin stopped, turned, and looked at him.

"You’ve won," Panasonic Toyoshige gritted out the words, bitterness in his gaze, "Will the initiator go unpunished? Your day will come too!"

In saying this, he clearly forgot his own actions of using the Fujin family to pressure Fujin to death.

Humans are always so hypocritical.

"If that day does come, it means I deserve to die, since I couldn’t even protect my own children," Aoyama Xiu Xin stated indifferently.

Panasonic Toyoshige took a deep breath, "I need to ensure my son’s safety first, then I’ll hand over those client documents to you and accompany you back to the police headquarters."

"You’re not in a position to bargain," Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head, speaking calmly, "But don’t worry, I’m not afraid of an amnesiac child seeking revenge on me in the future, to the point of wanting to eradicate any threat."

The naive are not to be underestimated, but one can deceive children.

"In my master bedroom, there are two safes; one next to the wardrobe, the other inside it. The client documents you want are in the one inside the wardrobe," Panasonic Toyoshige’s voice was hoarse and subdued.

Tigers don’t eat their cubs; enduring the pain of forsaking his eldest son was already excruciatingly painful, he could not bear to neglect his younger son’s safety. He could die, but his younger son could not; the Panasonic legacy must continue.

Over the years, the wealth amassed was something the police could not fully seize; what remained was enough for Chongtian Lixing to raise the child, providing him with the best education.

Aoyama Xiu Xin uttered briskly, "The password."

Panasonic Toyoshige stated a series of numbers, feeling lighter in heart, having resolved to face death.

Aoyama Xiu Xin took out a cell phone from his briefcase and called Nakamura Shinichi, "Come in and make the arrest."

"Bang!"

Minutes later, with a loud crash, the villa’s doors were forcefully burst open, and a squad of armed police rushed in, surrounding Panasonic Toyoshige.

"Take him away, and also, notify the reporters."

Aoyama Xiu Xin waved his hand, issuing the order before heading upstairs without a backward glance. True enough, he found a small safe inside the wardrobe.

After opening it with the code provided by Panasonic Toyoshige, inside were a gun and several thick file folders.

He ignored the gun and began opening the folders, indeed, each contained detailed information about local VIPs who had undergone organ transplants at the hands of Panasonic Toyoshige, including written records, related photos, and recordings of conversations.

With this evidence, it was possible to prove that these VIPs had undergone surgery despite knowing the origins of the organs, which could devastate their reputations.

Aoyama Xiu Xin took the folders and went downstairs.

After getting into a car on his way to the police headquarters, he made a call to Fujimoto Takayoshi, "Minister Fujimoto, Panasonic Toyoshige has confessed. I’ve already had reporters summoned for a press conference; you’ll need to make an appearance tonight."

"That soon?" Fujimoto Takayoshi was taken aback by the sudden news, then chuckled, "Xiu Xin giving me a chance to show my face, well, I won’t be shy then."

............

At 10 p.m., all the media outlets that had been notified sent reporters, who gathered under the flashing cameras as Fujimoto Takayoshi took the stage to speak first.

He thanked the reporters for coming at the invitation and then briefly mentioned that today’s assembly was due to a development in the human organ trafficking case, yet he did not specify what exactly had changed, keeping the reporters in suspense before allowing Aoyama Xiu Xin to come onstage to clarify.

Anticipated by all, amidst vigorous applause, Aoyama Xiu Xin, dressed in a suit, slowly ascended the podium.

He first bowed to the audience and then adjusted the microphone in front of him, "The human organ trafficking case was swiftly solved last month, and Fujin died by suicide while in custody, so many media and public voices have raised doubts about the outcome of this case."

"Here, I officially respond to the public’s doubts. The doubts are justified—Fujin was not the mastermind behind this case; there was someone else."

"But because the person in question had a unique identity, the police were inevitably obstructed as they continued the investigation, so they had to hastily close the case to deceive him. However, I personally continued to investigate him in secret until today, when I finally obtained definitive evidence to apprehend him!"

As Aoyama Xiu Xin finished speaking, the scene erupted in turmoil, like boiling water spilling over.

"Fujin was really not the murderer?"

"So this was a trap set by the police!"

"Who is the real mastermind behind this? Chief of Police Aoyama, stop keeping us in suspense, tell us already!"

"Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet!" Aoyama Xiu Xin raised his hand slightly, leaned closer to the microphone, and said loudly, "The real mastermind is Panasonic Toyoshige, the director of Hokkaido University Hospital!"

Before the reporters below could recover from their shock to start a heated discussion, he continued, "For years, Panasonic Toyoshige has been using his position and authority to secretly build an operating room, profiting from kidnapping innocent citizens to harvest and sell their organs! Many doctors at Hokkaido University Hospital are involved in this case, and after the arrest of the main culprit Panasonic Toyoshige, they too will be brought to justice!"

"Medical professionals are supposed to be angels who save lives and give care, but they have stained their hands with blood for profit. Such monstrous crimes will be met with stern punishment by the law!"

Boom!

The press conference reached its climax.

"Panasonic Toyoshige? It was him?"

"His son committed serial dismemberments, a rotten apple not falling far from the tree, he must have learned it from him!"

"Both father and son are beasts..."

After finishing his statement, Aoyama Xiu Xin left first. He had already contacted those big clients who had undergone organ transplants at the hands of Panasonic Toyoshige, arranging to meet them before taking the stage.

The meeting place was set at the Maple Club.

There were eight people in total; five of whom had received organ transplants themselves, and three others whose family members had.

As notable figures in Hokkaido.

They all knew each other and clearly did not expect Aoyama Xiu Xin to invite them all to meet here at the same time.

"I thought he had only invited me, now I’m even more curious about what Heisei’s No.1 Detective really intends to do," chuckled a district council member.

The others gave a wry smile. A high-ranking official from the Governor’s Mansion glanced at his watch, "Aoyama Xiu Xin invites us but arrives late himself, that’s not very proper."

"I really am sorry, the press conference delayed me." Aoyama Xiu Xin entered just as these words were spoken, he bowed slightly, "My apologies for making you all wait, it was truly inconsiderate of me."

"Alright, Mr. Aoyama, let’s not waste any more time, just tell us directly why you invited us here tonight?" a well-known local council member from Sapporo City impatiently said.

The others also awaited Aoyama Xiu Xin’s explanation.

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled slightly, "I am not familiar with everyone here, but that doesn’t prevent me from wanting to get to know you all, and now we have a perfect opportunity. I’ve prepared a small gift for you."

As he finished speaking, he gestured with his hand.

Jin Yucheng immediately placed eight bulging file folders in front of each person.

The people exchanged puzzled looks.

The first to open the folder was a local tycoon, who immediately trembled with fright, scattering the documents all over the floor, standing up uncontrollably panicked.

Seeing this, the other seven hastened to open their folders, and after reading, they were equally shocked.

"Aoyama Xiu Xin, what is the meaning of this? Where did you get these from!" a district council member demanded.

Everyone was on edge at this moment.

"There is no need to panic," Aoyama Xiu Xin soothed, smiling as he spoke, "Panasonic Toyoshige has confessed and accepted his punishment. These documents are all handed over by him, now returned to their rightful owners. I hope everyone is satisfied with this gift."

Hearing that Panasonic Toyoshige had voluntarily confessed and handed them over was shocking to all eight; Panasonic was bold enough to threaten them!

How could he easily fall into Aoyama Xiu Xin’s hands?

Regardless, having these "Death Sentences" back in their own hands, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

They were naturally immensely grateful to Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"This gift is truly significant! Thank you, Mr. Aoyama, a favor is to be returned like a spring responding to a sip of water. Don’t hesitate to ask for my help in the future." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"Yes indeed, we owe Mr. Aoyama a lot, I couldn’t sleep properly while Panasonic Toyoshige had this stuff."

"Very satisfied, very satisfied indeed, just not sure how to repay you, but fortunately, there’s plenty of time for us to interact and find opportunities to repay Mr. Aoyama."

"My dear gentlemen, you are too kind," Aoyama Xiu Xin said as he took a seat and raised his glass modestly, not looking down on them despite his favor toward them.

After all, what would be the point of conferring favors?

That would only make these people wary and resentful of him.

He planned to establish deep roots in Hokkaido; gaining the approval of local forces was crucial, and the documents from Panasonic Toyoshige provided an excellent opportunity to show goodwill.

Among the eight present were council members, officials from the Governor’s Mansion, judges, prosecutors, and local tycoons. Establishing a close friendship with them would naturally integrate him into Hokkaido’s profitable class.
