Chapter 54: New Intelligence

"Matsuda-san, at this time, it's better for us to see each other less!"

When Takayama Kenichi saw that Goro Matsuda was still coming with a female subordinate, his tone suddenly became cold. You must know that this is a sensitive moment when the president of the Sumiyoshi Association has just been killed, and Takayama Kenichi can come to see Matsuda, and he will only agree because of the relationship between the two in the past. But the other party actually brought an outsider with him, which was too inconsiderate of his own situation.

"I'm sorry, but ...... This one is a former subordinate of the director of the Shinjuku Central Administration, and he can be regarded as a trustworthy person. I think that with the current situation of the Sumiyoshi Society, it is better to be able to communicate with the police, so as to avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings, what do you think, President Takayama!"

Section Chief Matsuda secretly mentioned a word unhurriedly, and immediately let Takayama Jianshi sit back in his seat. Seeing that the other party was willing to sit down and talk, Miki's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Say, call me out at this time, what do you want to know!"

"Let's tell you the truth, Fukuda Haru's death, you people in the Jihui must be busy investigating this matter now! If you don't want the police to interfere, it's best not to go too far!"

Hearing Matsuda Goro's words, Takayama couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then lowered his voice and whispered to Matsuda:

"I'm sorry, don't say it's you this time, even I can't figure out why!"

……

"Huh?"

"What happened?"

Miki saw that Takayama was about to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"To tell you the truth, President Fukuda's death has been forcibly suppressed by President Nishiguchi with an order. Right now...... No one can investigate this matter, and even if we encounter provocations from other associations, we in Sumiyoshikai can only endure it silently. I couldn't figure it out. I really don't understand why President Nishiguchi would give such an order this time!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing Takayama's answer, both Matsuda and Miki couldn't help but be surprised. I thought that there would be a lot of incidents in the Sumiyoshi Association this time, but I didn't expect that the president of the Sumiyoshi Association Nishiguchi would quietly suppress this incident. But...... Why?

"I'm sorry, Vice President Takayama, if you may, could you tell us if anything happened to you before Harushi Fukuda was killed? No matter how small things are, they can be ......."

"What impressed me?"

Hearing Miki's inquiry, Takayama Kenichi fell into memories again. After all...... That was more than a month ago.

"At that time, I was not in Tokyo because I had other things to do with President Nishiguchi. But I remember when I returned to Tokyo, I heard some rumors from other people about President Fukuda?"

"Excuse me...... What kind of rumors are they?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you about it! But what I can tell you is that President Fukuda is said to have offended a big man because of some of his actions, and President Nishiguchi hopes that he will take the initiative to take the corresponding responsibility and resign as chairman! However, ...... Chairman Fukuda refused President Nishiguchi's request. An extremely serious conflict broke out between the two!"

"Big shots?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid the specific situation will only be known to the cadres from the Dongji Dao Society. Although I am the vice president, there are some business matters that I may not always have the opportunity to ask about......"

Hearing Takayama Jianshi's explanation, although I don't know whether it's true or not, it's really inconvenient for Matsuda and Miki to ask any more. However, Takayama's words brought Miki a new clue, that is, Fukuda Harutsu's death may be related to the internal contradictions of Sumiyoshikai.

Thinking of this, Miki couldn't help but have a new idea. I saw that she first whispered a few words to Section Chief Matsuda. Then he and Goro Matsuda said goodbye to Takayama Jianshi:

"Thank you for the clues, and I hope that if you have any new news in the future, please feel free to contact us!"

"Hehe, forget it! I can't always meet with the police!"

"By the way, President Takayama, may I ask...... What is your impression of Tadamasa Tento?"

"Tento-kun, he is the right-hand man under Fukuda Haruki, and he is indeed a rare talent, it is said that ...... He obtained his tax accountant qualification while in prison. Merely...... Our Kodokai is not as big as the Kanto Yakuza Kai, I'm afraid ...... I don't need a tax accountant to take care of everything!"

So...... What is the relationship between him and Harushi Fukuda?

"They...... Haven't you heard of any contradictions......? Is there something going on?"

"Ah...... Nothing, thank you, President Takayama!"

……

When Miki and Matsuda said goodbye to Takayama Kenshi together. The two left the meeting place together. Immediately after, Miki asked Section Chief Matsuda:

"Section Chief, speaking of which, what is the difference between this Kanto Yakuza Society and the Kodo Society?"

"Miki-chan, you have to know that a large violent group like Sumiyoshikai. Internally, it is composed of several small and large organizations. Among them, the most influential are the Kodo Kai led by Takayama Kenshi and the Kanto Yakkudo Kai led by President Nishiguchi. ”

"If there is one big difference between the two organizations, I am afraid that the difference is the difference in business philosophy. Before the former chairman of the Kodo Society, Katsumasa Yamaoka, was imprisoned, he had already taken absolute power over the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku. At that time, however, the Kanto Kodo Association embarked on a new path of development. Under the disadvantages of the other, the Hongdao Society, which originally followed the tradition, slowly began to fall behind. Whereas...... The business model of the Kanto Gokudo Association is moving closer and closer to that of large companies. ”

"Now you understand why Fukuda Haruki's subordinates have talents who have obtained the qualification of tax accountants!"

Hearing this introduction from Section Chief Matsuda, Miki suddenly became very interested in the dead Tadashi Amado.

"Senior, if you're a tax accountant, you must have a lot of information about the internal transfer of funds within the Sumiyoshi Kai...... Could it be that Tadamasa Tento was killed because of this reason?"

"Eh, that's possible!"

"So...... I think we might as well start with that and see if we can find any new leads, don't you think?"
