Chapter 29: Compromise

"Where did you find out?"

Hearing Nobuko Ando's question, Lin Xiuyi already had the answer in his heart, and the other party really knew the inside story of the Tokyo subway bombing. Lin Xiuyi looked at Congressman Ando, who had lost his usual calm and relaxed demeanor, and suddenly felt that the congressman was nothing more than that!

"Congressman Ando, if my guess is correct, I'm afraid that Shoji Kuroda had to flee to Colombia because he was framed by the public security department!" Lin Xiu asked with a solemn face.

"Oh, that's good...... I didn't expect you to find out so quickly, it seems that Keiko's vision is correct, I thought you wouldn't know about this!" Nobuko Ando tried to calm herself, she sat back in her chair, and then said to Lin Xiuyi with a playful attitude.

"Didn't the reason why you chose me as the person in charge of the Kuroda Shoji case in the first place was so that I could uncover the dark curtain of the Tokyo subway bombing case? If the investigation fails, I will take full responsibility, and what you have lost is probably just an opportunity!"

Lin Shuichi suddenly understood Nobuko Ando's true purpose, whether it was the bombing of Shoji Kuroda or the shady scenes of the Tokyo subway bombing back then, once it was revealed, the current Minister of Justice Kazuo Furuta and the National Public Security Commission would face a reshuffle, and I am afraid that the biggest gainer at that time would be Nobuko Ando, who took the initiative to expose the shady scenes of the Tokyo subway bombing. Not only that, Ando Taishan always refused to sign Kuroda Shoji's death sentence approval back then, once the Tokyo subway bombing appeared subversive news, the Ando family will win Tianda political prestige, and Ando's insistence back then will be transformed into public support for Ando Nobuko.

"You're smart, and you're a forensic expert that even the FBI respects. You have indeed seen through my purpose, but don't you think that our relationship is more like cooperation than a use? After all, your special search department is probably just a window unit for a search lesson!"

Nobuko Ando had a friendly smile on her face, she calculated everything, judging from Shuichi Lin's resume in the Metropolitan Police Department, this guy is definitely a persistent guy, and found that the shady scenes of the Tokyo subway bombing that year were completely expected by Nobuko Ando. There is only one problem, which Nobuko Ando does not want Lin Xiuyi to touch in any case, that is, in the Tokyo subway bombing, the explosives used by Yoshii Kazuzhao did not come from Vietnam, but from the US military stationed in Japan. Nobuko Ando thought that Lin Xiuyi would not dare to touch this forbidden area even if he was stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Xiuyi to really do this.

"I'm sorry, if I can't get the answer I want to know from Congressman Ando, I will continue the investigation in my own way, even if I lose my life for it, I will not give up!" Lin Xiuyi said without hesitation, he will definitely not use concealing the truth as a bargaining chip for cooperation like the police, because it will make him lose the ideal he has always pursued, that is, to defend the dignity of the law by means of fairness and justice.

"Wait, don't you know the consequences of doing this? Don't you know what kind of danger it will bring by provoking the Americans?" Seeing that Lin Shuichi, who did not enter the oil and salt, Nobuko Ando asked anxiously.

The room suddenly became unusually calm, Nagao Keiko looked at Lin Shuichi who was standing quietly in place, and actually felt a trace of admiration, Mr. Ando really looked away this time, the chess pieces actually knew how to use their advantages to resist the fate arranged for him by the opponent. It is really difficult to decide whether to treat this chess piece as an abandoned piece, or to agree to the conditions put forward by the chess piece and continue to finish this game.

"Lin Police Department, although our purposes are different, in fact, we have always been on the same side, if I am willing to selectively disclose the information I know to you, can you promise not to trace the source of the explosives?"

What a backbone policeman! If there were no interests, Nobuko Ando would probably have a solemn attitude towards Lin Xiuyi, but if Lin Xiuyi continued to insist on going his own way, he would destroy all of Ando Nobuko's plans. In the final analysis, what Nobuko Ando has to deal with is definitely not a small person like Lin Xiuyi, he has to deal with a big person with a higher status than herself. How could Nobuko Ando have a hard time with a little person like Lin Shuichi?

"Senator Ando, Shoji Kuroda is my target at the moment, so I must know Kuroda well enough, and other cases related to this incident are not the focus of the investigation at this time, but this will also be decided based on the information you provide. Lin Xiuyi saw that Nobuko's tone had softened, and his attitude softened.

"Indeed, as you might have guessed, it is true that the explosives in the Tokyo subway bombing did not come from Vietnam. I don't know if you've heard of Tokyo Explosives Co., Ltd.," Nobuko Ando asked.

"Tokyo Explosives Co., Ltd., I've heard a little, it seems to be a semi-official monopoly trading company specializing in explosives!" Lin Xiu thought for a moment and then responded.

"Tokyo Explosives Co., Ltd. specializes in dangerous explosives such as semtin, which must be infused with explosive missing agents according to international conventions. However, there are still many early production of semtin that has not been added to the missing agent of explosives in the hands of the U.S. military stationed in Japan, and the U.S. military stationed in Japan and Tokyo Explosives Co., Ltd. have signed a normal commercial agreement to sell these early-produced semtins to Tokyo Explosives Co., Ltd. at a low price, and if it weren't for the scandals related to the U.S. military stationed in Japan 23 years ago, there would be no problem with this agreement itself......," Nobuko Ando explained to Hayashi in detail.

Lin Xiuyi thought for a moment and then said: "But at that time, because of the crash and the case of the girl being sexually assaulted, the US military stationed in Japan has become the target of public criticism. In that case, if the angry people knew that the explosives used in the Tokyo subway bombing came from the US military stationed in Japan, the situation would probably spiral out of control!"

"It is true that Kazuzhao Yoshii, the main culprit in the Tokyo subway bombing, took advantage of a loophole in the management of explosives in the country and used forged documents to purchase controlled items such as semtin and detonators for use in terrorist attacks from Tokyo Explosives Co., Ltd. At that time, from the standpoint of the government, covering up the source of the explosives was the only right choice!" said Nobuko Ando in a politician's tone.

"So Shoji Kuroda, who had only secondary responsibility in the whole incident, became a scapegoat for the government and the U.S. military stationed in Japan, am I right, Congressman Ando?" asked Hayashi in an unusually serious tone.
