Chapter 40 Foreign Political Contributions

"Hmmm......"

Keiko stroked her forehead, and her mood suddenly became a little depressed. It can be seen that what Lin Xiuyi said just now did bring her a certain blow.

"How the hell did you know about this?"

"Before I answer your question, can you tell me what I went to the Imperial Palace Square to meet Hamada Daichi that night?"

Lin Xiuyi cautiously mentioned the incident of that night to Jingzi. Jingzi heard Lin Xiuyi's question, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Xiuyi with some resentment. Then he said to Lin Xiuyi with some hesitation:

"What if...... If I tell you the truth, can you promise not to leak this to anyone else......? This right-hand man next to you!"

After Jingzi finished speaking, her eyes looked at Miki who was sitting next to Lin Xiuyi with some vigilance. After Miki saw the gaze projected by Jingzi, she looked at Lin Xiuyi with some hesitation. Lin Xiu thought for a moment, and then chose to do what Jingzi requested. So, he nodded slightly to Miki. After getting Lin Xiuyi's instructions, Miki got up from her chair and left the room directly.

With the sound of the iron door closing behind him. Keiko's expression finally relaxed a little. However, she was still a little hesitant, and she was always thinking about whether to tell Lin Xiuyi the truth behind the matter.

"Xiu Yijun, what I want to tell you now, please be sure not to disclose it to others, otherwise, it will not only cause you endless trouble, but also bring great danger to the people around you."

Jingzi hesitated again and again, and decided to reveal part of the inside story like Lin Xiuyi. Because Lin Shuichi had already noticed the relationship between Minister Ando and Daichi Hamada. I believe that as long as he takes some time, Lin Xiuyi will definitely be able to find out the more serious incidents involved behind the death of the member of the National Assembly.

"What the hell is going on? It can't be related to the battle between the Shiroyama faction and the Ando faction!"

Lin Xiuyi asked Jingzi a little impatiently.

"No, this time, it should be regarded as a big crisis within the Democratic Constitutional Party! Xiu Yijun, do you know what political cash is?"

"I still know more or less about this, it's the money that politicians raise from their supporters during the election period. There have often been scandals related to political cash in the media before. Could it be that this incident has something to do with political cash?"

"Hey...... Just last month, Congressman Hamada, who is in charge of finances within the DPP, conducted an investigation into how the party's lawmakers raised and used political cash. As a result, several small sums of money were found, but they were traces of financial transactions with non-Japanese supporters. If this matter is exposed by the media, the Constitutionalism Cabinet will have no choice but to resign en masse. ”

"Political cash from overseas?"

Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

"Hmm...... Here's how it happened. During the congressional elections a few years ago. There is a restaurant chain that runs a fundraiser that has attended the Constitutional's election campaign. This person has donated political cash ranging from 3~50,000 yen to several powerful party members, including the Minister of Transport, but later the Constitution Party found out that the entrepreneur who donated was still applying for Japanese citizenship at that time. In other words, when he donated political cash, he actually donated as a foreigner. Although the amount of political cash was not large, and the Constitutionalism Party decisively returned the money after learning about the other party's situation. But it is possible that someone with a heart will catch this matter and make a big fuss. ”

I heard Jingzi tell the inside story of the incident in person. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel the seriousness of the matter. Politicians receiving financial support from abroad, even if the amount is small, is a very serious matter, and if it is said to be larger, it is suspected of being in touch with foreign countries. Even if the politician himself is unintentional, but he receives political donations from foreigners, it is easy for the opposition parties to seize the lever. If you don't do it, you may lose the trust of the voters.

"So, the dead Hamada-sender is the key person who intends to use this matter to his advantage, right?"

"Hey, because most of the politicians involved in this foreign political donation incident have been taken care of by Senator Shiroyama. In addition, the Ando faction is a new force that has only recently begun to rise. Therefore, Hamada Daichi naturally thought of joining forces with us to fight the power of the Joyama faction in the DPP. Because this evidence is in the hands of Congressman Hamada, he has been testing us all this time. And the reason why I went to see Hamada-san that night was to get this crucial piece of evidence from him......"

At this moment, Keiko recounts the ins and outs of the whole incident in an almost imperceptible voice. However, in this way, there are too many people who want the life of Hamada Daichi. Almost all of the big names involved in the foreign political cash incident had a motive for killing Daichi Hamada. What's more, these powerful people don't do it themselves. And if some of them were aware of Hamada's penchant for "Nile Gardens," it was not impossible to use this to turn the police's attention to Hamada's women.

Lin Xiuyi pondered for a long time, he was a little unsure why Jingzi would be willing to tell him these things suddenly. After all, Jingzi didn't want to confide in him anyway.

"May I ask why you suddenly chose to tell me these things? After all, you would rather be in prison on charges of murder than tell the truth!"

"Shuichi-kun, I believe that with your ability, since you have already found out about Mr. Ando and Daichi Hamada, it won't be long before you know what I told you today. So, I'd better tell you the truth of the matter. And...... I've been here for a long time, and I'd be willing to help you if I could!"

Heard Keiko's explanation. Lin Xiu didn't know how to answer for a while. However, now that this case has been investigated, Lin Xiuyi feels that his investigation is really difficult. The Democratic Constitutional Party (DPP) has put pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department. Therefore, Lin Xiuyi is no longer able to directly investigate the DPP. And on the part of the Congress, with the departure of Eiko Irie. Clues related to the land of Hamada will gradually disappear. It is in this complicated situation that the little perfume left on the murder weapon becomes a little suspicious, is it the murderer who inadvertently left it on it, or is someone deliberately guiding the police to investigate? What is the truth?
