Chapter 573: Chapter 471: Troublesome People Surrounding, Forcibly Scattering Them with Strong Military Force (Second Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)
In the afternoon, within the sizable conference room of Akabon Construction Co., Ltd., Akben Jiancheng was holding a high-level meeting.
"Next, the main focus of our company will be—"
"Bang!"
The door to the meeting room was suddenly pushed open. Akben Jiancheng turned his head in displeasure, only to see Akben Hero looking anxiously at him, "Dad, something’s happened."
"Let’s pause the meeting for now," Akben Jiancheng left the statement hanging as he left the bewildered executives behind in the room, stood up, walked out of the meeting room, and closed the door behind him, asking, "What happened?"
"The people we sent to keep watch at the Chunshan’s home reported that a bunch of police came and took the wife and child, claiming to be from the police headquarters. They just contacted us, under the name of the Special Investigation Headquarters, to take away Chunshan Kong’s body and demand his wife to go to Sapporo to cooperate with the investigation."
Akben Hero spoke at a rapid pace, his face clouded with anxiety, "Dad, Aoyama Xiu Xin really did start from Chunshan Kong’s family members. What should we do next?"
"No, we cannot let them take the people and the body," Akben Jiancheng’s face also turned ugly as he immediately said, "Arrange for our people to block the police headquarters’ personnel immediately, accuse them of trying to cover up for Aoyama Xiu Xin. To ensure that Mrs. Chunshan is not threatened to change her testimony, the investigation must be conducted in Asahikawa!"
Mrs. Chunshan was just an ordinary woman who, facing interrogation by the police, would surely spill everything like spitting out beans. Even without physical evidence, her testimony alone could drag the Akahone Family into the vortex.
On the other hand, the pressure on Aoyama Xiu Xin would be much less, and given Aoyama Xiu Xin’s reputation and popularity among the public, which is much higher than that of the Akahone Family, they’d not be able to leverage public opinion to attack Aoyama Xiu Xin. Instead, the Akahone Family would suffer even more from the backlash.
Moreover, he still needed to use Mrs. Chunshan for his subsequent plans. If she were taken away, everything would be scrapped.
"Hey! Then I’ll go and contact the Violent Gang right now!" Akben Hero said and turned to leave.
To gather a large group of organized, riotous people in a short time—only the Violent Gang could do it.
The person leading the police headquarters’ team to Asahikawa this time was Oda Take, Director of the Criminal Affairs Department, along with over a hundred fully armed criminal and riot police.
Anticipating that there would be organized resistance against the police, Oda Take had adopted a strategy, sending only seven or eight people to pick up the body and "invite" Mrs. Chunshan.
The main force was hidden, not showing themselves.
This would mislead the Akahone Family about the number of officers they brought to Asahikawa and, due to the emergency, deter them from sending too many people to intercept, allowing the main force to suddenly burst out, perform a violent clear-out, catching them off-guard, and swiftly break through the encirclement.
Indeed, as he had expected, in order not to waste time and considering that the police headquarters did not bring many people, Akben Jiancheng had the Violent Gang, which served as the Akahone Family’s dogs, hastily gather dozens and set off.
They didn’t even have time to prepare banners and slogans.
Thanks to the police station insiders who tipped off Akben Hero, ten minutes later, the police headquarters’ three vehicles carrying Chunshan Kong’s body and his wife and children were accurately blocked by these people on the road out of the city.
Naturally, the scene attracted many onlookers and completely blocked the convoy’s exit from the city.
"Fellow citizens, inside these vehicles are Chunshan Kong’s body and his family. The police headquarters want to cover up for Aoyama Xiu Xin; otherwise, why not investigate in Asahikawa? We must not let them take the body and people away!"
"Being from Asahikawa, we must stand up for our own!"
The Violent Gang leader’s voice was hoarse with exertion as he resonated vigorously, inciting the unsuspecting bystanders.
"That’s right, who knows if they’re going to destroy the evidence? We demand the immediate release of the victim’s family!"
"The matter of Asahikawa should be investigated in Asahikawa! Why take people away without cause, are they trying to intimidate the victim’s family into changing their testimony? Free them! Free them now!"
Other Violent Gang members echoed, stirring up a frenzy.
Some bystanders, lacking strong will and independent thinking, also joined in indignantly.
Many others, whether out of fear or reluctance to take sides, were simply there to watch the excitement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the police headquarters has established a Special Investigation Headquarters for this matter, and I am the person in charge of this division. This issue will surely be thoroughly investigated. Open up the road immediately; otherwise, you are obstructing law enforcement!" Oda Take communicated from within the car via a loudspeaker to the agitated crowd outside.
"Bam!" A stone from the crowd struck the windshield of the police car, instantly spider-webbing it with cracks, "Go to hell with your obstruction of law enforcement! Shoot us if you dare! Otherwise, we won’t let you take people away! Right, everyone?"
"Yes! That’s right! Absolutely correct!"
"Free them! Free them! Free them!"
Shouts rose like a tidal wave, unceasing.
"A bunch of troublemakers!" Oda Take in the car snapped off the loudspeaker and cursed softly, his years of police experience allowed him to discern that most of the crowd were members of the Black Society—hardly a bunch of passionate bystanders with every style of dyed hair and tattooed skin. He picked up the handset and dialed out calmly, "Move in."
Only force could persuade these people.
At his command, soon a piercing siren wailed from behind as more than a dozen large police vehicles sped in, stopping swiftly as one by one, riot police armed with batons and shields, wearing steel helmets and gas masks, jumped out, marching in formation with a thin layer of dust rising from the ground.
"Go!"
Smoke grenades and tear gas canisters were hurled into the crowd, sending acrid smoke wafting through the air. Screams, cries, and cursing intermingled as the gathered masses scattered in panic, unable to see where they were going.
"Advance! Disperse all the rioters immediately!"
The riot police, shields up and batons swinging, surged into the disordered crowd like wolves among sheep, striking anyone in sight with relentless brutality. The cries of pain were relentless.
"The police are hitting people... Ah! Stop! Don’t hit me!"
"They’re killing someone! Run! Don’t hit me!"
"No, stop, I’ve got nothing to do with this. I’m just watching! Really, my leg!"
"I’m a journalist! Give me back my camera! What right do you have to smash my camera! You bastards... Ah!"
These riot police not only used force to disperse the crowd but also aggressively seized the cameras from journalists, smashing them violently on the ground, before taking the film or memory cards.
Under an iron fist, even the journalists, often referred to as the uncrowned kings, had to prostrate themselves to avoid being struck.
The road ahead quickly became clear.
The besieged police cars finally managed to leave smoothly.
Once the smoke cleared, the large crowd that had been gathered was long gone, leaving only dozens of people lying on the ground wailing and moaning, the pavement splattered with blood.
"Lie down! Don’t move a muscle!" the riot police, in full gear, shouted as they stepped on the heads of rioters, warning them loudly with batons in hand, ready to strike down anyone who dared move.
Against criminals, they were helpless.
Against the citizens, they were invincible!
"Tch! Ignorant fools!" spat the supervisor of the riot police with contempt. "Fall out!"
All the riot police vehicles immediately boarded in an orderly fashion.
Within minutes, they were gone.
It was only then that the local police station officers arrived late.
The sight of the aftermath made them gasp in shock. The guys from Headquarters were ruthless!
Akben Jiancheng quickly learned of the incident and sat stunned in his executive chair for a long while without speaking.
It took him some time before he murmured to himself, "The Police Headquarters are hell-bent on protecting Aoyama Xiu Xin, aren’t they?"
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have acted so swiftly and crudely.
"Yeah, they were really vicious. Several people’s legs were broken. Dad, should we capitalize on this?" Akben Hero inquired tentatively.
Akben Jiancheng shook his head, "Doing so will only offend the entire police force. Besides, now that Mrs. Chunshan has fallen into the hands of Aoyama Xiu Xin, if she can’t withstand the pressure and confesses someone was behind it, then the police can claim that the people they surrounded were thugs organized by the mastermind to attack the police, making their crackdown legitimate."
"What should we do now?" Akben Hero frowned, sensing that things were getting complicated.
To be safe, Chunshan Kong’s entire operation had been personally orchestrated by him, because after Mrs. Chunshan’s planned murder, there would then be no one left who knew they were the masterminds.
But now, with Mrs. Chunshan in the hands of Aoyama Xiu Xin, it was inevitable that she would implicate him.
Akben Jiancheng was also troubled. He rubbed his face and said, "We’ve lost the initiative and advantage. Although Aoyama Xiu Xin has Mrs. Chunshan’s testimony, he lacks physical evidence. We can only adamantly deny the accusations and bribe the media to question the police’s motives, suggesting they coerced Mrs. Chunshan to change her story to protect Aoyama Xiu Xin."
A verbal battle ensued for some time.
Eventually, the matter would fade into obscurity. freewebnøvel_com
He couldn’t use this incident against Aoyama Xiu Xin anymore, and without concrete evidence, Aoyama Xiu Xin wouldn’t dwell on this case, leaving future moves for later.
"Ah, what a missed opportunity. Now that Aoyama Xiu Xin is on his guard, it will be much harder to catch him off guard." Akben Hero sighed regretfully.
Akben Jiancheng said indifferently, "What’s next is to prepare for his retaliation. I’ve studied this man’s past. He’s a vindictive scoundrel, and once he extricates himself from this affair, he’ll definitely seek revenge."
"Let him come! This is Hokkaido, not Tokyo. He won’t necessarily beat us on our home turf!" Akben Hero exclaimed confidently.
Akben Jiancheng exhaled, a cloud of gloom lifting from his face, "My son is right! Now that the conflict is out in the open, let the best strategist win."
If they could withstand Aoyama Xiu Xin’s first wave of retaliation, it would show others who had long been discontent with Aoyama Xiu Xin that he was not invincible. Akben Jiancheng could then offer some benefits to persuade them to unite and weather this crisis together.
But what he didn’t realize was that Fujimoto Ryosuke wouldn’t give him the time or opportunity—he was already sharpening his blade.
