Chapter 80: Case Crossing
"Miki!"
"Police Department!"
Seeing that Lin Xiuyi, who hadn't shown up for a long time, suddenly returned to the special search department, Miki's face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He stood up and respectfully saluted Lin Xiu, and then saw that the information related to the fraud case was everywhere in the office, and Miki hurriedly put these materials away.
"No, I just ran into something I need to ask you about, I remember when we went to visit Mrs. Yonezawa before, we met a group of guys who claimed to be Black Dragon Financial Firms, right?"
"Hmm...... Why did you suddenly ask about this, is there something going on?"
"Well, we just received a report from the bank that a customer used the ransom money from the Marunouchi kidnapping case when he was doing business at the bank, and according to the information provided to us, it is said that the money was brought by a guest introduced by a Black Dragon Financial Office. So, I just wanted to come over and ask and see if you found anything here!"
"Eh, are you talking about the kidnapping of Ryoma Chiba?"
Hearing Lin Xiuyi explain his intentions, Miki couldn't help but ask with some surprise.
"Yes, I also just discovered the connection between the two cases, the Black Dragon Financial Firm...... I really can't imagine that it could have something to do with the Marunouchi kidnapping case!"
Lin Xiuyi was not surprised at all when he saw Miki's shocked appearance, because when he learned from Naoto Takahashi that the Black Dragon Financial Firm was also involved in this case, his reaction was almost exactly the same as the current Miki.
"Ah...... I just thought of something, and I don't know if it will help you?"
Just after falling into silence in the room for a long time, Miki suddenly said to Lin Xiuyi with some surprise.
"What's the matter?"
"Police, not long after you were called to take charge of Ryojin Chiba's case, we heard something strange from the president of the Black Dragon Financial Office by chance. Someone anonymously helped Yonezawa, a victim of a pension fraud, repay all the loan sharks owed. From our investigation of the staff of the office involved, it is very certain that the arrears were paid in a lump sum by a middle-aged man who looked like an office worker. However, because the office worker left so little information, we can't continue to follow this trail......"
"Wait a minute, you just said that it was an office worker who came to help the Yonezawa family pay off the arrears, right?"
"Hey, this is what the people from the Black Dragon Financial Office confirmed to us personally! What's wrong with the police department?"
"The person we found involved in the case also mentioned that there was an office worker who lent 5 million yen from them, but only one night later, the other party even paid back the principal with interest!"
"Eh, how can this ......?"
"I'm afraid that the ransom paid to the kidnappers was not reduced to ashes in the fire at the gas station, and that the kidnapper who committed suicide by setting fire was just using this method to divert our attention. And the real ransom has probably been safely delivered to his accomplices,"
"But...... Why are they borrowing money from loan sharks when they have already received the ransom?"
Miki asked Lin Xiuyi for advice with some puzzlement.
"For money laundering!"
"Money laundering?"
"Yes, we recorded the number of the banknotes and left traces on the banknotes with fluorescentric agents. The other party may have considered this before. So they used the loan sharks to exchange all the money in their hands little by little. Because in order to maximize profits, loan sharks ultimately want to lend their money as soon as possible. If they hadn't brought the money to the bank, we wouldn't have known about it until now!"
……
Just as Lin Shuichi and Miki were discussing the interconnections between the cases in their respective hands, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor. This made Lin Xiuyi and Miki a little curious about what was going on outside......
"Beauty...... Miki seniors!Police ...... Police Department!"
Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was actually here, Pu Dao's face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and joy, but seeing his breathless appearance, Lin Xiuyi was a little curious about what made Pu Dao so out of shape.
"What's the matter, Urashima-kun, why did you suddenly run back in a panic, Kenji Togo?"
Miki saw Urashima suddenly run back, and couldn't help but be a little worried about Kenji Togo's whereabouts.
"Goo-goo-goo...... Ahh
Urashima gulped down a glass of water handed over by Miki, and then relieved himself, trying to calm himself and said:
"Police Department, Miki-senpai, I don't think you know what I found...... Yonezawa Kensaku, Togo Kenji, and Chiba Ryoma actually knew each other. Before Chiba Ryojin became famous, he was also a member of the Explosive Brothers. This incident was told to me by a fan of the explosion brothers tonight, and I just heard the news, and I couldn't help but want to report it to you, the police ......department!
"Wait a minute, do you mean that Ryoya Chiba was once a member of the Explosive Brothers?
"Miki senior, I heard about this from a senior fan of the Explosive Brothers, Chiba Ryojin also appeared on the stage of the Honda Theater as a member of the Explosive Brothers, but in the end, the Explosion Brothers only Chiba Ryoshin was favored by the economic company, and Yonezawa Kensaku and Togo Kenji, who appeared on stage with Chiba at the beginning, never left the stage of Shimokitazawa......"
"But we found out before that the Yonezawa family's debts were repaid in one lump sum, could it be that Yonezawa Kensaku was also involved in the kidnapping of Ryo Chiba?"
Miki was a little unsure of her thoughts for a while.
"As it may sound, if Yonezawa took a risk to get out of his family's financial woes, I think it was a very good motive. ”
"But the police department, if that's the case, Kenji Togo, another member of the bombing brothers, also has a great motive for committing the crime!"
"And we've been checking for so long, but we haven't heard anything about Kensaku Yonezawa. Could it be that the kidnapper who committed suicide by setting fire at a gas station is Ken Yonezawa can't do it?"
