Chapter 21: The Boss of Shiroyama
"Officers, Mr. Shiroyama is waiting for you inside, please!"
After the staff who had just come to invite Lin Xiuyi opened the door for them, Lin Xiuyi and the others thanked each other, and then stepped into the office of Councilor Shiroyama. From the moment Lin Xiuyi's feet first stepped into the office, he felt the difference in this office.
The size of this office is about 20 tsubo, and the whole room is covered with a white wool carpet. As soon as I stepped on it, I immediately felt softness that I had never felt before. It's like stepping on a dense lawn.
The staff member who followed Lin Xiuyi and the others into the office motioned for everyone to stand in the place where they had just entered the office and wait for a while, and then he first bowed deeply to Mr. Shiroyama in front of him, and then whispered to Mr. Shiroyama who was playing indoor golf.
"Mr. Shiroyama, I've brought your guests here!"
"Wait a minute, let me finish this ball first!"
Councilor Shiroyama said to his subordinates without looking back. Then he looked at the hole a few meters away, and carefully practiced the angle and force of the ball with the club in his hand. It took a long time for Senator Shiroyama to finally nudge the small white ball under his feet with the club in his hand. Unfortunately, the ball ended up at the edge of the hole and almost fell into the hole. This made Senator Shiroyama feel very sorry!
"Hey, it's still a little bit off! I'm so sorry to ask you to wait for me to finish this game!"
Councilor Shiroyama said as he handed the club and gloves to the staff next to him. Then he walked straight to the couch and sat down. However, when he found that Lin Xiuyi and the others were still standing in place, he beckoned to Lin Xiuyi and said:
"Please come and sit down, don't feel restrained in front of me!"
"In that case, then I'm presumptuous!"
Although Lin Xiuyi said this, he didn't mean to wronged himself at all. I saw Lin Xiu stride to the sofa opposite Senator Chengshan, and then sat down happily. His actions simply made Senator Shiroyama feel incredible. Because he's never seen such an unkind guy. Before Teacher Chengshan could speak, the people around Senator Chengshan, who was in charge of leading the way for Lin Xiuyi and the others just now, couldn't help but reprimand Lin Xiuyi.
"You are so presumptuous, you dare to be so rude in front of Teacher Shiroyama? Hurry up and stand up!"
"Forget it, Aoyama! I'm not this kind of stubborn old stubborn who cares about these things!"
Councilor Shiroyama waved his hand to stop his subordinates from reprimanding Lin Xiuyi. Then he looked at Lin Xiuyi again, and asked Lin Xiuyi in a slightly suspicious tone.
"So, what do you call the officer?"
"In Shimobayashi Shuichi, I am the head of the Special Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section 1, and these two are my subordinates, Zhongshan Criminal and Urashima Criminal Officer. ”
Lin Xiuyi said as he took out his business card and handed it to Teacher Chengshan with both hands.
"So, you're here today to investigate Hamada-kun's matter!"
"Hey...... But we don't seem to welcome our investigation here?"
Lin Xiuyi said unceremoniously to Councilor Chengshan.
Hearing Lin Xiuyi's answer, Councilor Chengshan immediately turned around and asked his subordinate Qingshan:
"Is there such a thing?"
"Teacher, I think Officer Lin misunderstood something, after all, Mr. Hamada is an important member of ours, although he has unfortunately been killed now, but there are still a lot of contents related to me in his office, which are inconvenient to open to the public, I think, the staff below are also afraid that important campaign information will fall into the hands of opposition figures!"
Although Qingshan's words were nominally explained to the councilors, they were actually addressed to Lin Xiu.
"So that's the case! It seems that I thought it was simple, but, Aoyama-kun, the police investigation still has to do their best to cooperate, after all, Hamada-kun is also a rising star of our party, and we have the responsibility and obligation to assist the police in their work!"
Councilor Shiroyama said earnestly to his subordinate Aoyama.
"I'm sorry teacher, but we were too cautious! I'll take Officer Lin to Mr. Hamada's office!"
As Qing Shan spoke, he stretched out his hand again and invited Lin Xiuyi again:
"Officer, please come with me, I'll take you to Hamada-sensei's office!"
"Wait!"
Just as Councilor Chengshan was about to get up to end this conversation, Lin Xiuyi stretched out his hand to stop Councilor Chengshan from leaving.
"Anything else?"
Councilor Shiroyama asked Lin Xiuyi suspiciously.
"There's something I really want to ask Senator Shiroyama about! I remember just a few days before Senator Hamada died. He has publicly announced to the media that he is resigning from all positions except parliamentarians. However, I am a little curious as to why Congressman Hamada suddenly resigned from so many positions."
Lin Xiuyi looked at Councilor Chengshan with a serious expression. And Councilor Shiroyama saw Lin Xiuyi's expression, and immediately understood that the guy sitting in front of him was not the kind of guy who was willing to do things according to his own arrangement.
"This kind of thing, I don't know about it, an old guy who is about to retire!"
Councilor Shiroyama smiled at first, then shook his head and rejected Lin Xiuyi's proposal.
I heard that Senator Shiroyama had previously served as vice president of the Constitutional Party and had single-handedly created the Shiroyama faction that obeyed his orders? and that Senator Hamada had been an important member of the Shiroyama faction before he was killed. Moreover, it is rumored that the current prime minister was elected because of your support!"
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Councilor Chengshan heard Lin Xiuyi nakedly reveal his true strength, which made Councilor Chengshan very uncomfortable and had a feeling of being offended. Because Councilor Shiroyama has always relied on the good reputation of promoting the younger generations to firmly unite the Jozan faction. However, Lin Xiuyi's statement tore apart the good image of Congressman Shiroyama who had been running for many years.
In any case, Hamada Daichi is also a young talent of the Joyama faction of the Democratic Constitution Party. If he hastily resigns from all his posts without consulting you, I think you will be very angry! I don't think Councilor Hamada would have relinquished his position without consulting you......
"Hey...... Did you say enough of it?"
