Chapter 78: Clues on Banknotes
"Smack!"
A stack of bills slammed onto the table in the transfer room, and then a vicious-looking police officer grabbed the prisoner by the collar and pulled him in front of him.
"Say, where did you get this money?"
……
"The guy who was brought back is called Naoto Takahashi, the financial director of a small financial company in Ginza, and we were caught by the suspect after receiving a report from the bank, and the ransom used in the Marunouchi kidnapping case was found in the cash that the other party brought to the bank for exchange, because the ransom code of the ransom has been recorded by us and notified the bank, so the bank will be aware of the banknotes......
Aizawa took the materials he had just collected and explained to Lin Xiuyi in detail:
"Small finance companies?"
Lin Xiuyi asked Aizawa with some curiosity.
"Actually, it's a loan shark!"
Aizawa replied bluntly to Lin Shuichi.
"Oh, that's right!"
Lin Xiu nodded clearly, and then curiously observed the situation in the room through the single lens in front of him.
……
"Hey, are you going to get away with it without saying a word? don't be delusional, we have a record of those bills, you must not think that you can fool the past without saying a word......"
The police officer in charge of the interrogation sternly warned Naoto Takahashi, and just as the officer said that the banknotes had already been recorded, Lin Xiuyi obviously noticed a look of surprise on the suspect's face.
"Stop, let me go in and ask a few questions!"
Aizawa heard Lin Xiuyi's sudden order, so he hurriedly pushed open the door and walked to the next room, where he whispered a few words to the police officer in charge of interrogation.
When Lin Shuichi saw through the single lens Aizawa quietly making an OK gesture behind him. He immediately stood up and walked towards the opposite room.
When Lin Xiu pushed the door and walked into the transfer room, the other police officers standing in the room immediately fell silent. Lin Xiu walked straight to the opposite side of the suspect Naoto Takahashi, propped his hands on the table, and looked at the other party with a downward gaze. It wasn't until Takahashi was a little furious when Lin Xiuyi looked at him, and deliberately avoided Lin Xiuyi's gaze, that Lin Xiuyi slowly said to him:
"It's understandable that you're reluctant to tell the police about your company. But what I want to tell you now is that what I brought you here today is a search lesson, what kind of case we are responsible for, I don't think I need to say that you should know very well! Work with us, tell us everything we want to know, you have nothing to do with the case we have in hand, I will give you five minutes to think about it, I hope you don't make the stupid decision that you have suffered on behalf of others!"
Hearing Lin Xiuyi say such sincere words, Naoto Takahashi, who had originally planned to continue the fight, couldn't help but feel very surprised, he couldn't help but raise his head to take a good look at who the guy who said these words was, but when he raised his eyes and saw the inconspicuous red coat of arms on the other party's collar, he immediately knew that what the other party said just now should be true.
After Lin Xiuyi put down those words, he didn't stop any longer, only to see him slowly straighten up again, and then turn around and walk in the direction of the door. And the other police officers in the room also followed behind Lin Xiuyi and planned to leave here. Seeing all this in front of him, Naoto Takahashi suddenly felt a wave of fear in his heart. The club he works for is a loan shark firm, and if he angers the police and makes them go to the club every day to investigate, how will the firm survive?
"Wait...... Once!"
Just when Lin Xiuyi's fingers touched the doorknob, Naoto Takahashi, who had been silent all along, suddenly broke the silence and called Lin Xiuyi with some hesitation.
"Are you willing to speak up now?"
"I ...... I just don't want to make trouble for the club, that's all!"
……
Lin Xiuyi, who was stopped by Takahashi, returned to the opposite side of Takahashi, when he pulled out a chair and sat down, Naoto Takahashi first asked the police for a glass of water, until he drank the water in the cup, Naoto Takahashi slowly said to Lin Xiuyi:
"I don't know why the money I brought was recorded by the police, but most of the 10 million yen bills were repaid by our customers to the club with principal and interest. I think maybe the money was sent by one of our customers......"
"Customer, is it a customer who is looking for you to borrow from a loan shark?"
Lin Xiuyi asked Takahashi knowingly, the reason why he asked this kind of question was to clarify the other party's opinion on the confession, so as not to affect the court's trial because of the vague confession. So, even if Naoto Takahashi acquiesced, Lin Shuichi had to let him say yes or no, so clearly answered.
"Hey, but there are a lot of customers who have business dealings with our company, and I can't remember who brought these banknotes!"
"That...... What would you do with the money you received from those customers?"
"This ...... Of course, the money will be released as soon as possible!"
"So...... Have you received any unusual loan agreements lately? Since it is a loan shark, you must not need collateral for anything!"
"Huh...... If you say that, I'm really reminded of a guest who borrowed 5 million yen from us in one go, but only one day later he returned the principal and interest......"
"Oh...... 5,000,000 yen, that doesn't sound like a small amount, did you leave each other's identities?"
"Of course, after all, it's so much money, of course we will be cautious, originally, that guy has never borrowed money from us before, and I'm a little worried about whether he will default on his debts. However, although the other party looked plainly dressed, he was introduced by the Black Dragon Financial Office, with whom we did business, and the loan period was only one day, so we lent the money to the customer......
"Wait a minute...... What you just said was the Black Dragon Financial Firm?"
Their president used to be a member of our club before, but then he met a nobleman, and he set up his own door, in fact, the relationship between our two families is still good, and the president of the other party will ask us past colleagues to go out for a drink from time to time!"
"Wait a minute, I'd like to ask you to take a look at the person in this picture, the customer you just talked about, is it the same person as the person in the picture?"
Lin Xiuyi said as he took out a photo of the mysterious homeless man from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Takahashi.
"Oh...... What? Isn't this a bum?"
"I know...... I want you to see if there is any resemblance between the guest you are talking about and the homeless man in the photo?"
"This ...... I'm sorry, but the guest I met was dressed as an office worker, but what do you mean by letting me see this homeless man now......"
