Tokyo Police - v17 Chapter 57

“Sorry, this is a private institution, if you are not the staff here, you can’t come in!”

When Lin Xiuyi and Miki just got out of the car and were about to walk into a quaint building, a staff member at the door suddenly blocked their way, and then politely refused their visit.

“Ah… I’m really sorry. Actually, I’m from the Shinjuku Central Police Station. I came here today to ask the person in charge here for advice. Excuse me… Can we meet each other?”

“police?”

Hearing Lin Xiuyi revealing his identity, the staff of the Chengshan Research Association suddenly became cautious. The other party hesitated a little, and then said to Lin Xiuyi:

“You two, please wait a moment, I’ll go in and help you ask!”

“It’s work!”

…

When the staff who received Lin Xiuyi and Miki said goodbye to the two of them, they immediately turned around and walked in, while Lin Xiuyi and Miki stood there, silently waiting for each other’s response. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the staff member who left to return to Lin Xiuyi and Miki, and then politely invited them.

“You two, please come in with me!”

After getting the other party’s permission, Lin Xiuyi and Miki followed each other into the quaint courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Lin Xiuyi and Miki were amazed by the zen-like courtyard and scenery in the courtyard. Seeing the reaction of the two, the staff member in charge of leading them said with a smile:

“It seems that the two of you also like the scenery here! It is said that… the scenery here contains Mr. Shiroyama’s thinking about life and the country. Many students who come to study here will go to the lecture hall opposite to experience the philosophy in the courtyard. I hope that I can learn from it the insights of life…”

“Oh…that’s really amazing!”

Lin Xiuyi complimented politely, and then continued to follow the other party to a place to receive guests. When Lin Xiuyi and Miki took off their shoes and walked into a reception room together, a woman with a colorless body appeared. Immediately, tea was served to Lin Xiuyi and Miki. Not long after, another man who looked to be in his forties also came into the room, and then introduced himself to Lin Xiuyi and Miki.

“I’m Seto Fangjiu, the Minister of External Relations here. I heard that a policeman came to visit. I don’t know why?”

“Ah… We are here this time mainly to ask you about the relationship between the Shiroyama Research Association and Atlantic Consulting Company. Excuse me… Do you know this company?”

“Atlantic Consulting Company? I’m really sorry, although our Shiroyama Research Association is a private research institution established by Senator Shiroyama, but… Over the years, we have also cooperated and communicated with some well-known overseas companies and research institutes, but… You said I’m really sorry about this Atlantic consulting company, maybe I’m not impressed!”

“Oh? But… According to the information we have in hand, this small consulting company with only ten employees can receive three million dollars in consulting fees from the Seongsan Research Institute every year. We are just curious. What kind of consulting business is entrusted to Atlantic Consulting Company by the Shiroyama Research Association, can you tell us about it?”

“Three million? I’m really sorry, this… I’m afraid I have to consult my colleagues in charge of this business…”

As soon as Lin Xiu saw that the other party didn’t answer his question, he was a little unsure whether the other party really didn’t know or was just making excuses for him. So he thought about it for a while, and then took the initiative to ask the Minister of External Relations:

“Mr. Seto, in addition to the matter about Atlantic Consulting, there is another thing I don’t know if I can ask you, please… You know about the murder that happened at the Imperial Hotel in Ginza twenty years ago. case?”

“Twenty years ago, I’m sorry, Mr. Officer, what did you want to say?”

“Twenty years ago, at the Imperial Hotel in Ginza, a woman who worked in a high-end club in Ginza was strangled to death in a hotel room. The murderer was finally identified as Masashi Hojo, then a member of the Diet. In that case, the club mother Sanya Kuwaguchi, who had given key testimony, moved to the United States shortly after the case was over to set up an agency called Atlantic Consulting Company, and after that, Atlantic Consulting Company. I have always established a business relationship with the Seongsan Research Institute. The annual consulting fee of 3 million US dollars is not a small amount by any means, but… With the scale of the Atlantic Consulting Company, I am a little curious about such a company. What kind of relationship does the hospital have, can you please explain it to me?”

After hearing Lin Xiu’s words, Seto Fangjiu, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly changed his face. He could hear that Lin Xiuyi seemed to suspect that there was some abnormal interest relationship between the Chengshan Research Association and the Atlantic Consulting Company, and was also involved in the case twenty years ago.

“Excuse me, have you said enough?”

See the other side look bad. Lin Xiuyi didn’t mind, he just smiled and looked at the other party, but this kind of smile made Seto feel an incomparable sense of urgency.

“You two please go back first, I have other important things to deal with…”

Fanghisa Seto said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then got up and bowed to Lin Shuichi and Miki. Seeing that the other party was going to leave, Lin Xiuyi and Miki also nodded and greeted each other quickly, and then said to the other party unhurriedly:

“We’ll be back…”

After Lin Xiuyi and Miki came out of the Shiroyama Research Association, the two walked towards the car’s location together. When the two were about to return to the car, Miki took the initiative to ask Lin Xiuyi:

“Warning, it seems that the other party should know about the transaction between the Shiroyama Research Association and Yaguchi Saki!”

“Well, this is true! Now that we have made a move, we will see how the other party will react!”

After Lin Xiu finished saying this, he stood there and looked at the Chengshan Research Institute not far away and paused for a while. This well-known research institution, which was quite famous in both political and economic terms, was actually involved in a case that happened 20 years ago. Why did Shiroyama Research Institute want to buy Yaguchi Saki? Is it really related to the case twenty years ago? So what kind of evidence do Kuroda and the others have? There is also Fukuda Qing who has died. Goro Sakurai once mentioned in the video that he had seen Fukuda Qing that night twenty years ago. If so, what is the truth behind it?
