Chapter 532: Gaining Recognition, Honey Trap, and a Deal (asking for monthly tickets)
December 6th, Wednesday.

After breakfast, Aoyama Hidenobu took a car to visit the home of Hokkaido Governor Mitsuo Yokomichi.

To succeed Fujimoto Takaei’s position in Hokkaido, it is not enough to just control the police, but also to have the approval of bureaucrats such as Mitsuo Yokomichi and Hirokatsu Miyashita.

Because, in the final analysis, Fujimoto Takaei has always been serving the interests of these people, and only with their support can he rest assured in Hokkaido.

When we arrived at Mitsuo Yokomichi’s house, he was having breakfast.

He did not even greet Aoyama Hidenobu, but just leisurely enjoyed the sumptuous meal with his family.

Aoyama Hidenobu could only wait respectfully with his head bowed. He knew that Yokomichi Mitsuo was deliberately warning him, because no superior in the world would like a restless subordinate like him.

At the same time, he did not have too many worries, because if Yokomichi did not accept him, he would not have been able to receive Fujimoto Takaei’s inheritance so smoothly. This was the result of his struggle and the result of Yokomichi Mitsuo’s acquiescence.

He came here today to show his respect to Mitsuo Yokomichi with a submissive attitude, otherwise Mitsuo Yokomichi’s acquiescence would probably turn into denial.

After standing for about ten minutes, Mitsuo Yokomichi finally finished his meal and walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

He waved casually to Aoyama Hidenobu.

Aoyama Hidenobu immediately walked over quickly, bowed slightly, and looked like he was ready to listen attentively.

“I’m very busy. I don’t care who’s in charge of the police headquarters, but it can’t affect my interests and the stability of Hokkaido.” Yokomichi Mitsuo said in a cold tone. He paused here, looked back at Aoyama Hidenobu and said word by word: “Since you killed Fujimoto Takaei and took over, if you can’t do better than Fujimoto Takaei, I will replace you.”

“Hey! Please rest assured, I will never let you down!” Aoyama Hidenobu solemnly promised.

Mitsuo Yokomichi bent down and picked up the cigarette box on the table.

When Aoyama Hidenobu saw him shake out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, he immediately took out a lighter and leaned over to light it.

“Huh—” After taking a deep breath, Mitsuo Yokomichi slowly exhaled the smoke and said calmly, “I don’t like surprises. I don’t want this to happen again.”

“Hi!” Aoyama Hidenobu answered concisely and with surprise.

Mitsuo Yokomichi shook off the ash from his cigarette. “I know you are the grandson of Minister Hikokawa, but I hope you remember that this is Hokkaido. You are in Hokkaido and you are exercising power that affects Hokkaido, so you can only be a Hokkaido person. This place cannot tolerate outsiders, let alone people who betray their own people. Aoyama-kun, do you understand?”

This is a threat and a warning. Since Aoyama Hidenobu has taken advantage of Fujimoto Takayoshi’s position, he must play his role and safeguard the collective interests of the Hokkaido bureaucracy.

Otherwise, you will be kicked out.

“Hey! Hidenobu understands. Everything is based on the interests of Hokkaido. He will never confuse things. Please rest assured, Governor.” Aoyama Hidenobu stated honestly.

Mitsuo Yokomichi waved his hand disinterestedly.

Aoyama Hidenobu bowed and turned away.

As the distance between him and Mitsuo Yokomichi increased, his back straightened more, and when he officially stepped out of the door, he was already holding his head high and chest out, full of energy and vigor.

“Morning, Minister Aoyama.”

“Good morning, Minister Aoyama.”

When they arrived at the police headquarters, everyone along the way took the initiative to greet Aoyama Hidenobu, even those at the same level and nominal superiors behaved very respectfully.

He made his way to Yamashita Hisato’s office.

“Boom boom boom!”

“Enter.”

Aoyama Hidenobu pushed the door open with a smile on his face, “I hope I didn’t disturb Yamashita-kun from his work?”

“Mr. Aoyama is very busy, how come you have time to come to me?” Yamashita Hisato stopped the work in his hands.

Aoyama Hidenobu got straight to the point and said, “I think Oda Maya is no longer suitable to be the chief of the Obihiro City Police Station, so I implore Yamashita-kun to swap him with Mitsuiura, the chief of the Akabira City Police Station.”

“Okay.” Yamashita Hisato nodded. He accepted all of Aoyama Hidenobu’s conditions and acted as his own rubber stamp. He disdained to be involved in corruption and did not want to fight for power. He just wanted to investigate his case well and catch more criminals.

“Thank you, Yamashita-kun.” Aoyama Hidenobu bowed and turned to leave. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back and said, “Actually, Yamashita-kun, there’s no need to be too hostile to me. If we continue like this, we will cooperate happily.”

After he finished speaking, he no longer cared what Yamashita Hisato thought, closed the door and strode away.

Looking at the closed door, Yamashita Hisato was stunned for a moment, thinking about Aoyama Hidenobu’s words in his mind.

………………………………

At the same time, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

In the office of the director of the Life Safety Bureau, an old woman with curly hair, a police uniform and a slightly bloated figure was looking through Aoyama Hidenobu’s information.

She is Nakayama Junmi, who is about to go to Hokkaido to take over Fujimoto Takaei’s position. Since she learned the news, she has been reading information about the Hokkaido Police Headquarters in the past two days, and has paid special attention to Aoyama Hidenobu, the star in the police force and the number one detective in the Heisei era.

Judging from her experience, people like Aoyama Hidenobu have always been either extremely loyal or extremely treacherous.

But now she thinks Aoyama Hidenobu is the latter.

Having worked in the police force for half a lifetime, she has connections in various police systems across the country. According to an old colleague in Hokkaido, Aoyama Hidenori has now replaced Fujimoto Takaei. Can such an ambitious and unscrupulous person be a good person? Can he be a loyal minister?
If he was really a good person, after overthrowing Fujimoto Takaei, he should have waited for the new chief sent by the Public Security Commission to cooperate with him to thoroughly clean up the Hokkaido police system, instead of turning from a dragon slayer into a dragon.

People with crooked minds like this have greater abilities.

The greater the harm to society and the country.

Nakayama Junmei felt that her trip to Hokkaido was full of difficulties, but the more so, the more she had to go. She had to remove the bad apples like Aoyama Hidenobu from the police system!
“Auntie Runmei, I heard that this man is extremely romantic and lustful. How about using a beauty trap to seduce him?” A young female police officer standing in front of Zhongshan Runmei asked tentatively while observing her expression.

The policewoman was probably about 25 or 26 years old. She was about 1.7 meters tall when she was wearing high heels. She had short hair and a delicate appearance. The loose police uniform could not hide her undulating curves. Her pants were stretched tight by her buttocks, which were round and tempting.

“It would be nice to find the right medicine for the right disease, but where can we find this beauty? Ordinary women are not in Aoyama Hidenobu’s eyes.” Nakayama Junmei shook her head.

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with using beauty to deal with men just because she was a woman. As long as the end result was good, the process was not that important.

And as a woman, she knows better how effective the beauty trap is on men, especially lustful men.

If this trick is used well, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

She was also very good-looking when she was young, otherwise she would not have been able to climb to this position in the male-dominated police force relying solely on her ability and ruthless tactics.

The policewoman pursed her red lips and asked nervously and expectantly, “What do you think of me?”

“You?” Nakayama Junmei instantly raised her head and stared at the policewoman, frowning and scolding: “Yoko, what are you thinking about? How can I let you take risks?”

Yoko Hashimoto, her secretary and future daughter-in-law, is engaged to her son through her introduction and will get married next spring.

“Auntie Runmei…”

Nakayama Junmei was obviously unhappy because she volunteered, “When you’re working, you call your position!”

“Hi! Director!” Hashimoto Yoko quickly bowed and changed her tone, saying, “I don’t think there is anyone more suitable than me. Don’t worry, I will definitely protect myself. And seeing how hard and upset you are, Yoko really wants to share your worries.”

Zhongshan Runmei’s face was uncertain, and after a while he sighed, “If Ying knew, he would definitely blame me.”

Her only son, Zhongshan Ying, did not follow in her footsteps and become a policeman, but is a businessman.

“Just don’t tell him. Besides, we are all here for work, Auntie. I’m sure Ying will understand. Please let me go!” Yoko Hashimoto said as she bowed deeply with her hands in front of her.

Zhongshan Runmei pondered in silence, feeling conflicted.

If Yoko Hashimoto was not her daughter-in-law, she would have agreed long ago. Everyone has selfish motives.

Yoko Hashimoto said, “Aunt, if I can gain Aoyama Hidenobu’s trust, I can help you quickly clean up the Hokkaido police while he has just taken office and has not yet established a firm foothold. Besides, I don’t want to hide behind you all the time, I have to do something.”

“You must protect yourself.” After hesitating for a while, she finally let go. After all, she couldn’t find anyone more suitable than Yoko Hashimoto.

She believed that Yoko knew her limits and would not let Aoyama Hidenobu succeed. Moreover, as long as she disagreed, Aoyama Hidenobu would not dare to do anything because of her status.

Yoko Hashimoto was immediately delighted and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, “Yes, yes, auntie, don’t worry, I will definitely not let you down!”

“You can’t seduce him actively, otherwise it will definitely arouse his suspicion. Instead, you have to use your charm to make him pursue you actively. You have to give him the feeling that you are gradually conquered by him and completely fall in love with him under his pursuit.” Nakayama Junmei suggested seriously.

Finally, she was entrusted with an important task. Hashimoto Yoko was very excited and said with a blushing face, “Hi!”

She had long been fed up with some colleagues’ gossip behind her back that she was just a vase and only got promoted because of Zhongshan Runmei’s care. This time she was going to prove herself!
She, Yoko Hashimoto, is also very capable.

………………………………

As night falls, the lights are on.

In Sapporo, an illegal transaction is taking place in the back alley of a bar. The two parties in the transaction are a gangster with dyed yellow hair and a handsome young man.

The young man was dressed simply and seemed to be conducting this kind of transaction for the first time. He looked around nervously.

“Where’s the money?” asked the yellow-haired man, raising his chin.

The young man sniffed, subconsciously touched his waist, and asked, “Where’s the goods?”

“Are you afraid that I will cheat you? Everyone knows that I am the most trustworthy person in Sapporo.” The yellow-haired man curled his lips in disdain, glanced around, and then took out a package from his arms. After opening it, he found a heavy black pistol. “Here, it’s new, fully loaded with bullets.”

“Is it… a real gun?” the young man asked worriedly, and added: “The main reason is that this gun is cheaper than I thought. I am a little worried.”

“Are you sick? Isn’t cheap good enough? You have to pay a high price to feel at ease, right?” The yellow-haired man looked at him stupidly and explained, “This thing was quite expensive before, but this month more goods have suddenly entered the market, so the price has dropped. Do you want it or not? Don’t waste my time.”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes.” Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, the young man nodded and said yes, and couldn’t wait to take out the money, “Money, please count it.”

“You look so timid that you dare not cheat me.” Huang Mao grabbed the money and put it in his pocket, then handed the gun over and asked curiously, “You don’t look like you are involved in gangs, why did you buy a gun? Can you tell me?”

“I…” The young man took the gun and put it into his arms like a thief, seeming to be unable to speak.

“Forget it. I don’t care what you do. Let’s go.” The yellow-haired man put his hands in his pockets and turned away. He waved his hand without looking back and said, “You can also come to me to buy bullets.”
