"Do you know where loan sharks like Heilong Finance get the money to lend to others?"

"Huh? Isn't it because they already have money that they are in the usury business?"

"It's not that simple. If it weren't for the fact that the money used for lending was originally borrowed with high interest, why didn't they set the interest lower and lend it to those who are really able to repay? It’s a little less, but you don’t have to go to the trouble of taking the risk of breaking the law to find those who can’t pay the money. The fastest update.”

Section Chief Matsuda smiled, and then patiently explained to Urashima.

"Senior! You mean that on top of loan sharks, there are loan sharks who specialize in lending money to loan sharks, right?"

Miki suddenly realized that she asked Mr. Matsuda for advice.

"Of course, for those who are really rich, there is no danger of usury at all. In fact, whether it is lending or borrowing, it is just a puppet in the hands of those who are behind the money. Money laundering is their real purpose! They provide the shameless money to small financial companies like Heilong Finance, and then recover this part of the funds from the customers, and the money flows legally into the hands of those behind the scenes. …”

While speaking, Section Chief Matsuda leaned behind Urashima to check more details on the computer. He browsed through the detailed accounts of the transactions between Heilong Financial Office and Ishikawa Real Estate one by one, and his eyes gradually showed a vigilant look.

"Senior, did you see something? Please give me some advice!"

Miki bowed her head and asked Mr. Matsuda solemnly.

"Why, didn't you participate in the case in the hands of Jun Xiu?"

"Hey, the police department asked us to continue to investigate the previous pension fraud case, so... we are still assisting the work of the Ministry of Life Security..."

"Oh... so! What's the matter with that loan shark?"

"There are many victims of pension scams who have been defrauded of their savings and unknowingly become collateral for these loan sharks. So we are now following the loan shark thread, hoping to get through this thread. Su, to be able to find the traces of the suspects in this serial fraud case..."

"Hey, that sounds complicated? Can the two of you handle this?"

...

Hearing Mr. Matsuda's question, the room fell into silence. In fact, after so many days of investigation, Miki already knew how difficult this case was. With the strength of him and Urashima alone, it is impossible to track down the victimization of many victims at the same time. So these days, Miki and Urashima can only continue the previous search work along the clues provided by the Yonezawa family.

"Let's see, I entered the Metropolitan Police Department at the same time as the chief of the second section of the investigation. I will ask the second section to see if I can help you investigate this Ishikawa real estate! After all, the second section of the fraud case is over there. It’s also a responsibility, and it shouldn’t be difficult to ask them a little bit!”

Miki and Urashima couldn't help but feel overjoyed after getting the promise from Section Chief Matsuda. So the two hurriedly thanked Head Matsuda solemnly and said:

"Thank you so much!"

...

The busy day passed quickly, Lin Xiuyi dragged a tired figure and left the Metropolitan Police Department. Then he took a taxi and came to an izakaya called Jinhan in Ningyocho. When the door opened, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly:

"Welcome, is this your first time here?"

"Well, I made an appointment with a friend to come here, and I don't know if he is here!"

"Oh, isn't your friend a tall, serious-looking gentleman?"

"Hey, has he arrived yet?"

"Yes, he is sitting in the seat over there, please come with me!"

Under the guidance of the service staff in the store, Lin Xiu walked around a few mats near the gate, and soon saw Inspector Yuan Zhizhu who was sitting in front of the bar pouring his own drink.

"I kept you waiting! I didn't expect you to come to an izakaya too!"

Lin Xiuyi was a little surprised and asked Yuan Zhizhu, then he handed his coat to the service staff here, and then took the hot towel handed over by the shopkeeper and wiped his hands.

"I'm tired of going to places like bars all the time, but this place is more fresh to me!"

Genzhizhu raised his glass and drank the beer in it, then raised his hand and said to the shopkeeper:

"Excuse me, please bring me another drink!"

"I want a beer too. Anything in particular to recommend today?"

"How about cooking a mackerel miso first, today's fish is very fresh!"

"Okay, please give me one first!"

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, the store brought the beer he ordered. Although the temperature outside is already very low, the beer is still cold. As soon as Lin Xiu picked up the wine glass and just took a sip, the shopkeeper gently placed the mackerel miso he ordered in front of him.

"I really didn't expect you to be pushed out to take charge of Chiba Ryoshin's case at this time. It seems... Xiu Yi-kun must have had a hard time these days!"

"It's really hard to describe! I also became the counselor of Zhongyuan on a whim. I never thought at the time that they would let me wear the clothes of the counselor to fool those reporters..."

Lin Xiuyi let out a long sigh ~lightnovelpub.net~ and then picked up a piece of mackerel and put it into his mouth. Lin Xiuyi couldn't bear to swallow the fresh and tender taste of the hot fish.

"It seems that you should also be clear that your counselor is only temporarily dealing with errands. After this case is over, no matter what the outcome is, the position of the counselor will never fall on your head."

"Of course I know this kind of thing, but what can I do? I'm afraid the only way in front of me is to solve the case!"

Lin Xiu raised his glass and said helplessly.

"That's not necessarily true, Xiuyi-kun! You've heard that I'm about to take over as my retired boss and become the next chief inspector!"

"Well... I heard a little, but because it's just a rumor, I haven't congratulated you yet?"

Although Lin Xiuyi said congratulations, he was a little surprised, surprised that Yuan Zhizhu would discuss such a sensitive issue with him.

"I don't need to congratulate you. I just want to ask you, Xiuyi-kun, are you interested in becoming my subordinate in the police department?"
