Chapter 601: Chapter 495: The Wealthy Mrs. Fujii, Rewards of Stalking (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Standing again at the entrance of the Fujii’s house, Nakamura Shinichi took a deep breath, then raised his hand and rang the doorbell.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
The door swiftly opened to reveal a haggard Mrs. Fujii, still in her nightgown, her eyes reddened as she glared at Nakamura Shinichi at the doorway, without uttering a word.
"Mrs. Fujii, may I come in and explain?" Nakamura Shinichi bowed and said.
Mrs. Fujii turned without a word and entered the house.
Nakamura Shinichi followed her in and gently closed the door.
From behind, Mrs. Fujii still possessed an undeniable charm, her figure not losing out to that of a twenty-year-old girl, with a maturity the younger girls lacked.
"Mrs. Fujii, sometimes what you see may not be the truth." Sitting in the living room, Nakamura Shinichi spoke with earnest concern, "Capturing Panasonic Toyoshige involves various factors. It’s not as simple as arresting him with solid evidence. We’re announcing the case closed now only to lull him into a false sense of security and to prevent him from fleeing. When the time is right, we’ll arrest him all at once."
"Removing the police from your doorstep was also for this reason, and now that he knows what you had is in our hands, he naturally won’t go out of his way to trouble you, and you and your child are actually safer. This incident is now completely unrelated to you."
"If I were working with Panasonic Toyoshige to deceive you for what you had, why would I bother explaining now after achieving my goal? Mrs. Fujii, don’t let anger and fear cloud your judgment."
Hearing Nakamura Shinichi’s words, Mrs. Fujii’s expression gradually softened, but she still harbored doubts about the truthfulness of his words, "Are you... really not deceiving me?"
Panasonic Toyoshige had caused her husband’s death, and she had betrayed him. If Panasonic Toyoshige remained beyond the law’s reach, she would live in fear forever.
Always worried about sudden retribution.
"Absolutely true! It will just take some more time," Nakamura Shinichi swore with determination in his eyes, then reassured her, "Rest assured, Panasonic Toyoshige narrowly escaped disaster; now all he can do is try to behave to avoid further trouble. He definitely won’t risk everything just to get revenge."
"That’s a relief, that’s a relief. It’s not about me; I promised my husband to take good care of our child," Mrs. Fujii said, exhaling in relief and softly patting her chest, stirring a wave of guilt.
Observing her display such a devoted wife’s demeanor, Nakamura Shinichi frowned and said, "Pardon my frankness, but did Mrs. Fujii know what your husband was doing?"
"I didn’t know. I always thought he was just running an ordinary food company," Mrs. Fujii shook her head, then gave a self-deprecating laugh, "I know what you mean. He was a monstrous criminal, deserving death. But he never wronged me or the children. Since I’ve enjoyed the comfortable life he provided, I naturally owe it to him."
"Damn!" Nakamura Shinichi cursed involuntarily.
Thinking of how such a good man like himself was cuckolded by his wife, while a beast like Fujii had such a wonderful wife made him feel fate was grossly unfair.
Indeed, all the good women have gone to the dogs!
Mrs. Fujii’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment and irritation as she glared at him and spat out, "How vulgar!"
Clearly, she was a cultured person; after all, with the Fujii family’s wealth, it was impossible for him to marry an ordinary woman.
"That will be all, then. Now that Mrs. Fujii knows our plan, please live your life at ease. Don’t do anything foolish. I’ll take my leave now," said a disheartened Nakamura Shinichi, not wanting to stay any longer, as he got ready to leave.
"Wait! Hold on!" Mrs. Fujii also got up and stopped him, somewhat nervously and embarrassed, "I still don’t feel quite safe. May I have your phone number? Just in case something happens, I need someone to turn to for help. Detective Nakamura, please!"
As she spoke, she bowed deeply, her loose nightgown neckline revealing a glimpse of white that shook twice.
Mrs. Fujii really was wealthy!
Nakamura Shinichi swallowed hard at the sight, adhering to the motto of not wasting a free show, he left her his phone number.
Mrs. Fujii escorted him all the way to the door.
Time swiftly moved to early April, and with the government’s passive approach, the crowds questioning the outcome of the human organ trafficking case had dispersed.
Everyone had their jobs and lives to get back to; they couldn’t afford to spend all their time on this matter.
With the protests over and the officials deliberately downplaying the incident, the media also stopped reporting, and the case seemed to reach its conclusion.
Panasonic Toyoshige was completely relieved. After work that day, he finally decided to visit his son, whom he hadn’t seen since the case went public, to assuage his longing.
"Boss."
The driver had already brought the car to the hospital entrance in advance. Seeing Panasonic Toyoshige come out, he quickly stepped forward to take his briefcase and opened the car door for him.
"You can go back by yourself today; I won’t need your driving services," Panasonic Toyoshige said indifferently.
He was a very cautious man. To maintain his image, he kept his illegitimate child a secret from everyone. Only Panasonic Hideyoshi, who lived under the same roof, stumbled upon this secret.
Every time he went to see his mistress, he would drive there himself and even go to the trouble of disguising himself.
"Alright!" The driver acknowledged, immediately closed the door, placed the briefcase on the front passenger seat, and went around to the other side, bending down to open the driver’s side door.
Once Panasonic Toyoshige was seated and the door was closed, the driver took a step back and bowed, waiting until the car was out of sight before straightening and leaving.
How could Panasonic Toyoshige, accustomed to such a dignified and glossy social status, bear to forsake it for an unfamiliar life abroad?
Thinking of his imminent reunion with his son, Panasonic Toyoshige’s mood was buoyant, so much so that he failed to notice a car following him. When he passed a toy store, he stopped to buy a toy car.
Of course, the one tailing Panasonic Toyoshige was the police.
Since the closure of the human organ trafficking case, they had been conducting surveillance for a week.
Over the past week, Panasonic Toyoshige seemed to be on alert, living a very regular life, commuting between the hospital and his home, attending no drinking parties, and not seeking the company of any women for his bed.
His unusual behavior today invigorated the two police officers assigned to track him.
Twenty minutes later, Panasonic Toyoshige’s car stopped in front of a villa in the East District. He got out of the car, already wearing a mask and sunglasses, and went up to ring the doorbell.
"Sneaking around, he’s definitely up to something shady," one of the trailing officers commented.
The other officer didn’t speak but was ready with his camera to take a picture of whomever would come to open the door.
Soon, the villa’s door opened, revealing a woman in her twenties who excitedly hugged Panasonic Toyoshige, affectionately snuggling into his arms as they entered the house.
"Mr. Panasonic, you haven’t come to see me and the baby for such a long time. The baby’s been crying for daddy every day."
The woman snuggled into Panasonic Toyoshige’s embrace and acted coquettishly.
"I’ve been busy lately. I’ve come as soon as I had the chance. Where’s the baby?" Panasonic Toyoshige actually had no feelings for the woman. It was only out of physical need that he got involved with her in the first place.
However, he hadn’t expected her to get pregnant, and for the sake of the child, he had been supporting her for a long time. Fortunately, the woman was docile, obedient, and sensible, not insisting on marrying him or anything, which made him a bit more patient with her.
"The baby is playing with toys." The woman pulled Panasonic Toyoshige into the house and called out to a three- or four-year-old boy sitting on the floor, "Baby, look who’s here."
"Dad... Daddy!" The boy immediately dropped his toy and, overwhelmed with joy, scrambled to his feet and stumbled towards Panasonic Toyoshige. "Daddy, hug!"
"Slow down, don’t fall." Watching his son wobble over, Panasonic Toyoshige’s smile was genuine. He bent down to pick him up, "Son, have you missed Daddy?"
"Yes," the boy answered in his childish voice.
Panasonic Toyoshige felt his heart melt, convinced that the risk he had taken to stay in his son’s life was more than worth it.
At ten o’clock that night, Panasonic Toyoshige didn’t stay overnight but reluctantly returned to his own home.
While waiting for Panasonic Toyoshige to return for the night, one officer stayed behind to keep watch, and the another went to report to Nakamura Shinichi with the photos taken during the day.
After seeing the photos, Nakamura Shinichi immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate the woman’s details thoroughly.
...
The next day, April 5, Monday.
Today, Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t go to work.
He had to take his sister-in-law to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.
"Sister-in-law, let’s go. I’ve got everything ready," Aoyama Xiu Xin said, holding a lady’s handbag in one hand and offering his other to help his sister-in-law, after breakfast.
Aoyama Haruko, who still had a flat belly and showed no sign of pregnancy, couldn’t help but smile, "I’m not even showing yet, you don’t need to fuss over me like this."
Aoyama Xiu Xin was so concerned, making it seem as if she was already unable to walk by herself because of a huge belly.
"The first three months are more dangerous, I need to escort and protect you and the baby," Aoyama Xiu Xin said seriously, guiding her outside.
Aoyama Haruko felt helpless but also full of happiness, instinctively touching her belly. freēnovelkiss.com
This time, Aoyama Xiu Xin accompanied his sister-in-law into the hospital, and the hospital staff in charge of prenatal care couldn’t stop complimenting his filial actions.
"Chief of Police Qing Mountain must have a great relationship with his elder brother, to personally bring his sister-in-law for the check-up."
"Yes, but I heard that their parents died young, and the brothers have relied on each other ever since. The elder brother is like a father, and the elder sister-in-law like a mother, so it’s normal for him to do this."
"It’s rare to see brothers with such a good relationship, even rarer to see someone so good with his sister-in-law."
Aoyama Xiu Xin managed to remain composed and unaffected by the praise and comments, while Aoyama Haruko couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed, her cheeks reddening.
After the prenatal check-up results showed the baby was developing healthily, both of them were relieved. Aoyama Xiu Xin prepared to take his sister-in-law home when his phone rang as they were getting into the car.
"Moshi moshi, this is Aoyama Xiu Xin."
"Senior Director, this is Shinichi." Nakamura Shinichi was already excited, having received information about Panasonic Toyoshige’s visit to the woman yesterday from his subordinate, "The officers tailing Panasonic Toyoshige have made a significant discovery. He has a woman on the side, and it seems she has even borne him a child. "
"What?" Aoyama Xiu Xin was startled and then asked anxiously, "Are you sure there’s no mistake?"
He feared it might be a false alarm.
"Absolutely not! I’ve already got the woman’s details," Nakamura Shinichi said confidently.
Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled, "Great! I’ll head to headquarters immediately. It looks like I got what I wanted without much effort."
His initial thought was to engage in a war of attrition, looking for an opportunity to create a weakness for Panasonic Toyoshige to exploit, which would allow him to deal with him while avoiding the risk of panicking those involved in organ transplants.
But he never expected to discover his hidden vulnerability in the process, saving a lot of effort.
After hanging up, he turned to his sister-in-law.
"I understand, go ahead with your business. Yu Cheng can drive me home," Aoyama Haruko said with a gentle smile, kindly and thoughtfully speaking first.
Aoyama Xiu Xin leaned over to kiss her delicate face, told Jin Yucheng to safely take his sister-in-law home, then took a taxi to the police headquarters.
