After the incident in the warehouse, the incident of Bai Heqing being followed and monitored by the Japanese police soon passed.
Two relevant figures involved, the surviving Japanese police officer and his boss, Chief Kato, died accidentally in different incidents.
Regardless of whether this sacrifice is true or false, at least it is so on the surface.
This alone was enough for Shirakawa Kiyo to be sure that there was indeed the old fox Karasuma Renya behind this incident.
After that, Bai Heqing thought that the old fox would continue to attack him, but he didn't.
After the incident in the warehouse, nothing wrong happened around him, or anyone appeared who made him feel wrong. The same was true for Okino Mina.
It was as if everything ended with the death of the chess piece, Chief Kato.
Of course, Shirakawa Kiyo's intuition told him that this was impossible. Renye Karasuma was not the kind of person who would give up halfway. Since he had the idea of attacking him, it was impossible for him to stop just because of such a small move.
Either the old fox was calmly planning a bigger killing move, or... something stopped him and made him temporarily give up on Bai Heqing and continue his attack.
Shirakawa Kiyoshi was not surprised at all that he was hostile to Karasuma Renye and wanted to get rid of him quickly. It would be better to say that because of Keiko, if Karasuma Renye was not hostile to him, he would be surprised.
Of course, no matter what the truth is, these movements are enough to show that Renya Karasuma, who has been hiding in the American Empire since being ambushed by Keiko at the airport several years ago, is finally planning to return to Japan.
Well, but these actually have little to do with Bai Heqing...
As a good and law-abiding policeman, he just wants to live a good life and deal with troubles within the scope of his duties. He doesn't really want to worry about other things.
In other words, as long as Karasuma Renye doesn't conflict with his life, Shirakawa Kiyoshi doesn't bother to care about his affairs.
He just wants to live well by himself.
Although he thinks so, Tokyo is really not very peaceful recently.
Three years after the incident in the warehouse, Bai Heqing's life once again returned to a fairly peaceful routine.
The reason why I use the word "fairly" is because several things that need to be remembered have happened in the past three years.
The first thing is that he was promoted again. Two vertical bars were added to his police rank. From Shirakawa police officer to Shirakawa police chief, he was appointed as the head of the criminal department of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Although there is nothing surprising, this seems to be the only thing directly related to him...
In addition, Okino Mina’s writer husband passed away.
Bai Heqing also didn't feel too surprised by this. After all, her husband, a writer, has never been in good health, and his condition has been getting worse in recent years. To be honest, Bai Heqing had actually prepared a similar mentality for a long time. Prepare.
He thought that having already experienced Keiko's death, he would not feel too sad in this regard, but when this moment really came, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad and regretful. After all, he lost another friend.
By the way, the writer's husband may have sensed in advance that his end was coming, so before his death, he worked overtime to complete the first draft of his series of detective mysteries based on Shirakawa Kiyoshi, and finally let him After Bai Heqing helped him revise these first drafts, he sent them to the publishing house for publication.
Well, it is really a special experience to revise a manuscript written by a friend in which I am the protagonist.
Due to the death of her husband and to take care of her young daughter, Shirakawa Kiyoshi's other good friend Okino Mina rarely traveled far away in the past two years.
Before this, this woman loved to run outside, often going to remote villages in inaccessible mountainous areas to conduct folklore inspections. She often didn't go home for twenty days a month.
But his writer husband had no complaints about this, at least Bai Heqing had never seen one... Of course, couples have their own way of getting along, so he wouldn't meddle in his own business here.
Out of concern for his friends, Shirakawa would often visit the mother and daughter in his free time. He vaguely noticed that Yoko's child seemed to be a bit repulsive to her mother...
The above are more or less things related to Shirakawa Kiyoshi. In addition to these, in Tokyo in the past few years, a lot of secret things have actually happened that are related to him, but they are not very related. They say they are not related, but maybe they are. Something related.
Some time ago, he uncovered several extortion cases against certain companies. These companies were in different industries and the presidents were not directly related to each other. However, they were all attacked by an unknown person within a very short period of time. Organized blackmail.
The presidents who were blackmailed did not know anything about the situation of this organization. They only knew that the personnel of this organization got some black information from somewhere that they did not want to spread to the society, and used it as a handle against them. Carrying out blackmail.
If it was just about money, then the CEOs who had their clues exposed might just hold their noses and admit it.
But the point is, what this unknown organization wants is not money, but the shares in their hands, and their company.
Good guy, it's better to "rob" people to fish than to "rob" people to fish, right?
Of course, this unknown organization does not seem to have gone so far. According to several corporate presidents who came to report the case, this organization seems to want to use suitable money to trade their shares, and the dirty information is just forcing them to do so. The means to agree.
In other words, some less legal methods are used to conduct private transactions in exchange for control of these enterprises.
Some of the presidents could not accept the conditions proposed by this unknown organization, so they reported the case to the police even if their dirty information would be exposed.
As a result, these cases came into the hands of Bai Heqing.
After a simple integration of information, Bai Heqing quickly came to a conclusion.
This is definitely not a simple blackmail case. A mysterious and unknown organization with a large amount of money in its hands is trying to illegally acquire and integrate many large companies in Tokyo.
Moreover, we learned from the corporate presidents who had reported the case that this mysterious and unknown organization seemed to be quite wealthy...
He is quite rich, and he can get all kinds of dirty information about the corporate presidents, and he is also trying to unify the business world behind the scenes...
Although he was very reluctant, Bai Heqing could not help but think of a familiar figure in his mind.
It's really troublesome. It's obvious that he just wants to live his own little life peacefully...
