Please make money.

This girl seemed to have a kind of awe-inspiring aura - even though at first glance she looked so young and beautiful.

Alia lowered her eyes. “I heard that three suspects were arrested. I want to meet them.”

"This is not in compliance with regulations, Miss Ai, please don't make things difficult for us."

Alia didn't say anything, she just picked up the teacup in front of her and blew away the hot air, as if she was waiting for something.

A few seconds later, hurried footsteps were heard from the corridor outside, followed by the sound of a door opening.

Superintendent Matsumoto turned his head and stood up quickly: "Minister!"

The man who came was the Chief Inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department, the Director of the Criminal Division, and the immediate superior of the First Investigation Division.

The hurried footsteps came from the subordinates behind him who were chasing the chief inspector. Because they were very tall, they walked with big steps.

Moreover, as the theoretical third-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department, he naturally moves with great speed and no one can stop him.

Alia looked at the big shot of the Metropolitan Police Department and determined that the setting of this world was subtly borrowed from Conan.

Although there is no Megure Jusan and his dangerous brother Kudo who can fight alone, there are Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Odagiri Toshiro, right?

You're making me anxious. If these people appear and there's no subsequent car chase or explosion scenes, can it still be called a theatrical version?

Although Alia believes that her fighting power is far superior to that of Miss Unicorn and she can fight against the humanoid Gundam Kyogoku Makoto single-handedly, what about the people around her?

"Ms. Ai." Chief Inspector Odagiri shook hands with Alia, and said in a voice with a firmness buff: "Director Anhe sends his regards to you."

"Superintendent Odagiri and General Manager Anhe have a good relationship?"

"We once studied under the same Kyudo ninth-degree master. He once praised your skills to me, saying that you are a genius who has both mind and technique integrated."

"Nothing special, just practice makes perfect." Alia nodded: "Since you all know each other, I won't be polite. I want to meet those guys."

"Okay, Matsumoto, go and arrange it."

"Yes!"

"Ms. Ai, we need to tell you about the situation first. Also, are Miss An and Miss Yumiko with you?"

"Yumiko?" Alia's eyes flashed.

The other party first pointed out his relationship with An and Changzhang, and then asked Yumiko to come. What does that mean?

But she soon found out why.

"So, there is another possibility, that is, Yumiko is trying to get close to me and act as an insider, and the kidnapping is just a warning, trying to get me out of this market?"

Alia shook the information in her hand. "It's really chilling - what a terrible determination!"

An and Yumiko sat nearby without saying anything. It would be inappropriate to say anything now.

The biggest problem is not what she said, but the fact that the guy who took one million yen from her was actually caught and "kidnapped" Sister Yu.

He said there was no kidnapping, but Sister Yu was found at his place, and there was another woman who was kidnapped. This is called being caught on the spot.

"Fujita just disappeared. It's possible that he arranged all this behind the scenes. The reason why he sent people to Kuroda is that he might not know that Kuroda had been betrayed, but still regarded Kuroda as a pawn for him to use. He didn't expect such an accident to happen."

Superintendent Matsumoto nodded and said, "It is indeed surprising that he chose to turn himself in to save his life. People like them would hardly protect themselves in this way."

It's either escape or die, what's the point of going to jail?

Alia didn't comment, but flipped through the next few pages and stopped at a photo of evidence.

"Does this mean that Fujita Tsuyoshi is likely to have at least 24 kilograms of engineering explosives in his hands?"

"Yes, so during this period, please be careful with any items of unknown origin!"

"There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days... Where is Fujita Tsuyoshi? Is there any news about him?"

"Not yet. We are urgently searching the places where he has been active, but he has disappeared since he last appeared in the wine house."

Alia held up the evidence photo, which showed boxes of engineering explosives and part of an unfinished bomb.

"Where did you find this?"

"Fujita Tsuyoshi's residence."

"Would anyone be so careless as to put these things in their home?"

"This……"

"Of course this is just one of the doubts, and unfortunately I don't like reasoning and evidence. I am used to the presumption of guilt."

In other words, instead of looking for evidence of a crime and sending someone to jail, the idea is to first arrest the person and force him to prove his innocence.

She raised her hand to call An Lele over: "Spread the word, the previous fake ambulance has a reward of 1 million yen, and Fujita Tsuyoshi has a reward of 20 billion. Get all the yakuza to move. I want these three suspects, plus all the records of Kuroda's movements. The bounty is yen if I've seen it. Double the reward for anyone who can get the camera footage of their actions. Even more if you have key information. Get all those guys to move—"

An Lele put away the notebook, nodded, turned and left.

However, Alia, who was so arrogant in front of the third-in-command of the Metropolitan Police Department, seemed not to notice the subtle expression of Inspector Matsumoto and waved at Yumiko again.

"Retrieve all the records of these people's phone calls, communications, and the internet over the past few days. If the Metropolitan Police Department does not allow the investigation, find someone to bribe the people at the telecommunications operator and check their backend."

"Ms. Ai——" Inspector Matsumoto frowned: "Such behavior is illegal!"

"Let the technical support department of the second search support come to assist." Chief Inspector Odagiri interrupted Inspector Matsumoto.

Second Investigation Support is affiliated with the Investigation Support Analysis Center of the Metropolitan Police Department.

It is a response unit to the widespread and electronic nature of crime, analyzing the search information obtained by analyzing electronic equipment and the search support system.

It sounds very grand, but in fact it is just the technician in the TV series who is responsible for tracking down the public telephone booth in some corner.

Inspector Matsumoto wanted to say something, but Chief Inspector Odagiri waved his hand to quiet him down.

"In fact, we can already set up a special investigation headquarters. Even if Miss Ai doesn't say anything, we will arrange these things."

The Special Investigation Headquarters should actually be described by a more understandable term - task force.

When the Minister of Criminal Affairs deems it necessary, he may issue an order to establish a "Special Investigation Headquarters."

This kind of special investigation headquarters is usually responsible for major crimes, such as the robbery and murder case of a family of four in Kamizushidani 3-chome in the early years.

The criminal killed a family of four, including a young child, at 3-chome, Kamizoshidani, Setagaya-ku. His methods were extremely cruel and had a very bad impact.

The Metropolitan Police Department even offered a high reward of 10 million yen, but because the murderer could not be found, the case was shelved.

That family massacre is also known as one of the three major unsolved cases of the Heisei era, along with the "Hachioji shooting of three women" and the "Kabukicho building fire."

If Fujita Takeshi really wanted to make a big move with the 24 kilograms of engineering explosives, then the establishment of a special investigation headquarters would be a natural thing to do.

It was obvious that Alia did not believe in the Metropolitan Police Department's ability to enforce the law, and more importantly, her anger was expressed in an extremely direct way.

The maximum reward offered by the Metropolitan Police Department is 10 million yen, and the price Alia offered to the Yakuza is 2 billion yen.

Three million yen would be enough to make Kuroda suffer betrayal.

Ten million yen is a bounty for a murderer who kills an entire family.

You can buy a high-end apartment in a wealthy area for 80 million yen.

Two billion yen is equivalent to all the wealth of Fujita Tsuyoshi's father. It is the total wealth of a senior executive of a long-established large company and its shareholders!

Such a huge reward would attract bounty hunters all over the world and bring Fujita Tsuyoshi out of the ditch.

Guess what, if Fujita wanted to escape, would the snakehead want his boat ticket money or want to exchange him for 2 billion?

But this is just the beginning. It is said that this person spent 700 billion yen and took only 5 minutes to forcibly acquire the Hoshino Hotels.

The purpose is only to use the connections behind the hotel to urge the Metropolitan Police Department to act and to thoroughly investigate the personnel problems of the hotel itself.

I guess she doesn't care about spending more and will crush any thief who dares to lay a hand on her to ashes.

Under the persuasion of his old friend Anhe Changzhang, Superintendent Odagiri has repeatedly raised his assessment of the opponent and has no intention of underestimating the opponent.

She did not doubt Yumiko, nor did she care whether An and Changzhang might be pretending to be loyal and rebellious. This kind of magnanimity was not pretended, but was truly confident.

There are many rich people, but there are too few people like Alia. They are so rare that they don’t look like normal rich people at all.

And from the beginning to the end, she took the initiative, not following the pace of others, nor succumbing to those rules and regulations.

If the Metropolitan Police Department did not investigate immediately, she would even dare to directly "bribe" the internal staff of the communication operator. How arrogant.

He uses money to drive the yakuza and his connections to urge the Metropolitan Police Department. He is neither obsessed with so-called procedural justice nor willing to trample on current rules.

It can be seen that she has a deep understanding of the "operation" of this society and has a bird's-eye view of how different areas of the entire ecological niche operate.

This terrifying determination, this swift and lightning-fast attitude like an arrow leaving a bowstring that has been charging for a long time, is truly dazzling and frightening.

Is she really only 18 years old? No wonder An He said that such a person is definitely a hero who cannot be easily defeated after only meeting her once.

If Fujita really wanted to take revenge on her, then that guy had chosen the wrong opponent and would soon face the biggest nightmare of his life...

"Then let's go meet the suspects."

Ailia stood up and was just about to have a good SOLO with those rotten sweet potatoes and stinky bird eggs when she saw An Lele running back.

She was holding a tablet with the emails she had just sent on it.

"Miss! Someone contacted us and demanded a ransom!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Aaliyah's face, trying to see her expression clearly.

"How much?" Alia had no expression and was very calm.

"…One billion old banknotes, non-serial numbers, no final device or dye bombs allowed. We are required to deliver them to the target location within 24 hours."

Superintendent Matsumoto held out his hand: "Please show us the specific content of the email. If it's 1 billion yen in cash, we can contact the bank to prepare it!"

"No, it's US dollars... that's about 1400 billion yen."

Superintendent Matsumoto was shocked. If this were true, it would be the world's number one kidnapping case, right?!

The last time someone asked for such a horrible price was when the thief king of the century, 'The Rich Man' from Zijing, kidnapped Li Huanggua's son and asked for 10 billion.

But that amount of money, converted into US dollars, is only about 120 to 130 million, which is completely incomparable.

Alia sighed: "Reply to the email and ask him, have you ever seen how heavy a pile of 1 billion cash is?"

She and the two Metropolitan Police Department bosses shrugged as she spoke.

"I've seen it. It weighs eleven tons. He can't take it away no matter what. So this request is obviously a trick."

"Then Miss Ai, are you not going to agree to him? In that case, what we will do next is--"

"No, I promise, if he really wants to."

"...???"

182-There is something wrong with Kuroda! Because he is an NPC with a name!

Whether the kidnapper is Tsuyoshi Fujita does not seem to be the primary issue at the moment.

The asking price of one billion US dollars has clearly set a new world ransom record and has become a news topic that has attracted global attention.

Unless the Metropolitan Police Department wants to drown in saliva, it will never agree to Alia doing this.

But of course Alia would never listen to the Metropolitan Police Department...

That is to say, if there really was Inspector Megure, his younger brother Mori, and an elementary school student living in Mori's house, then she might still accept the advice.

But isn't this true? There is no invention of various kinds of beer by Dr. Agasa.

When the original protagonist is no longer in a movie, Alia thinks that maybe she can take his place.

If you don't believe in yourself, how can you believe in the Metropolitan Police Department that has to be saved by the savior Conan all day long?

The technicians who were 'bribed' by Alia with a large sum of money were trying to trace the source of the email, but in the end they only located an anonymous mobile phone card.

In this book, email is defined similarly to text messages, but anonymous mobile phone cards are even more interesting, which is the business scope of Hu Jianbang.

The latter can be regarded as a branch of the Ma Feiya group. When they came to Benzi, they were dealing in petty frauds and thefts.

The Metropolitan Police Department looked down on these guys, thinking that they were just doing small things, but they didn't expect that their business would become so big that they could do anything.

Almost all the subsequent black market information in the entire book was monopolized by the other party, so much so that the Metropolitan Police Department's Gang Countermeasures Department had to find the other party to reconcile.

What it means is that you should restrain yourself and we will let you go. Let's all be good people and make money in harmony.

After following this line, the Metropolitan Police Department is basically at a loss, but Alia can still continue to investigate because the yakuza have to give her face.

Or to put it bluntly, give money and face - Miss Ai's style of spending money is comparable to Bruce Wayne, it's almost become a superpower.

"Ma Feiya said that the client's information cannot be disclosed."

As An and Yumiko spoke, they glanced at the chief inspector and the other police inspector beside them, knowing that they could not be counted on.
