v12 Chapter 78: clues on banknotes

"Snapped!"

A stack of banknotes fell heavily on the table in the retrieval room, and then a police officer with a ferocious face grabbed the prisoner's collar and pulled the other party in front of him.

"Tell me, where did you get this money from!"

...

"Police! The guy who was brought back is called Naoto Takahashi. He is the financial director of a small financial club in Ginza. We only caught the suspect after receiving a report from the bank. The other party brought some cash to the bank for exchange. We found the ransom used in the Marunouchi kidnapping case, because the banknote code of the ransom has been recorded by us and notified the bank, so the bank will be aware of these banknotes..."

Aizawa took the materials he just collected and explained to Lin Xiuyi in detail:

"Small finance company?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Aizawa curiously.

"It's actually a loan shark company!"

Aizawa answered Lin Xiuyi bluntly.

"Oh, I see!"

Lin Xiu nodded in understanding, and then curiously observed the situation in the selection room through the single lens in front of him.

...

"Hey, are you going to fool around like this without saying a word? Don't think about it, we have recorded those banknotes on the record. Don't think that you can fool around without speaking..."

The police officer in charge of the interrogation sternly warned Takahashi Naoto. Just when the police officer said that the banknotes had already been recorded, Lin Xiuyi clearly noticed a look of surprise on the suspect's face.

"Stop, let me go in and ask a few questions!"

Aizawa heard Lin Xiuyi's sudden order, so he hurriedly opened the door and walked to the next room, where he whispered a few words to the police officer in charge of the interrogation.

When Lin Xiuyi saw through the single lens, Aizawa quietly made an OK gesture behind him. He immediately stood up and walked towards the opposite room step by step.

When Lin Xiu pushed the door and walked into the interview room, the other police officers standing in the room immediately became quiet. Lin Xiuyi walked straight to the opposite side of the suspect, Naoto Takahashi, rested his hands on the table, and stared at him with a downward gaze. It wasn't until Lin Xiu looked at Gao Qiao that he felt a little hairy in his heart and deliberately avoided Lin Xiuyi's gaze, and then Lin Xiuyi slowly opened his mouth and said to him:

"We can understand that you don't want to tell the police about your company. But what I want to tell you now is that the one who brought you here today is a search class. What type of work are we in charge of? As for the case, I think you should be very clear without me telling you! Cooperate with us and tell us everything we want to know, and you will have nothing to do with the case in our hands. I will give you five minutes to think about it. I hope Don't make stupid decisions that you've been through on your behalf!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi say such sincere words, Naoto Takahashi, who had planned to continue the confrontation, couldn't help but feel very surprised. He couldn't help but raised his head and wanted to take a good look at who the guy who said these words was, but When he looked up and saw the inconspicuous red coat of arms on the other party's collar, he immediately knew that what the other party had just said was true.

After Lin Xiuyi put down those words, he didn't stop any longer, only to see him slowly straighten up again, then turned around and walked towards the door. The other police officers in the room also followed Lin Xiuyi and planned to leave. Seeing all this in front of him, Naoto Takahashi suddenly felt a wave of fear in his heart. The club where he works is a usury agency. If these police officers are angered and they go to the club to investigate every day, how can the agency continue to operate?

"Wait a moment!"

Just when Lin Xiuyi's finger touched the doorknob, Naoto Takahashi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly broke the silence and called Lin Xiuyi hesitantly.

"Are you willing to speak out now?"

"I... I just don't want to cause trouble for the club, that's all!"

...

Lin Xiuyi, who was stopped by Takahashi, returned to the opposite side of Takahashi again. When he pulled out the chair and sat down, Naoto Takahashi first asked the police for a glass of water, and Naoto Takahashi didn't drink the clear water in the glass. He slowly said to Lin Xiuyi:

"I don't know why the money I brought was recorded by the police, but most of these 10 million yen bills are the principal and interest paid back to the club by our customers. I think this money may be Sent from one of our clients..."

"Customer? Is it a customer who is looking for you to borrow usury?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Takahashi knowingly that the reason why he asked such a question was to clarify the other party's opinion in the confession, so as not to affect the court's trial because of the vague confession. Therefore, even if it is something that Naoto Takahashi tacitly agrees to, Lin Xiuyi must let him say yes or no such a clear answer.

"Hey! However, there are many customers who have business dealings with our club. I can't remember who brought these banknotes!"

"Then... Excuse me, if you received money from those customers, what would you do with the money?"

"This... Of course, the money is released as soon as possible!"

"Then... have you received any unusual loan agreement recently? Since it is a usury loan, you probably don't need to mortgage anything!"

"Eh... If you say that, I really think of a customer who borrowed 5 million yen from us in one go, but returned the principal and interest in just one day. …”

"Oh...5 million yen, that doesn't sound like a small sum! Did you leave each other's identity information?"

"Of course, after all it's so much money, of course we'll be more cautious. Originally, that guy has never borrowed money from us before, so I'm a little worried about whether he will default on his debt. But although the other party looks plain dressed, But it was a client who was introduced by the Black Dragon Financial Firm that we have business dealings with, and the loan period was only one day, so we lent the money to that client..."

"Wait a minute... What did you just say was the Black Dragon Financial Firm?"

"Hey! It's this firm! Their president used to be a member of our company before~lightnovelpub.net~ But then I met a noble person and started my own business. In fact, the relationship between the two of us is still good. Yes, the president of the other party will occasionally invite our former colleagues to go out for a drink!"

"Wait a minute, I want you to take a look at the person in this photo, is the customer you just mentioned the same person as the person in the photo?"

As Lin Xiu spoke, he took out the picture of the mysterious homeless man from his jacket pocket and handed it to Takahashi.

"Oh...what? Isn't this a tramp?"

"I know...I want you to see if the guest you mentioned is similar to the homeless man in the photo?"

"This... I'm sorry, the guest I saw, he was dressed as a senior, but what do you mean by showing me this homeless man..."
