Please make money.

Alia looked at this guy. Judging from his appearance, he was an ordinary person, even a little honest.

But judging from his behavior, it's hard to say, he might have rebelled...

"Why did you betray Kuroda?"

"Kuroda... I..."

When this was mentioned, the other party lost his excitement, stammered for a while, and then told the truth.

It's probably the simplest reason: I want my brothers to live a good life, but I'm afraid that they will drive a supercar.

He and Kuroda did have a friendship back then. They were in the underworld together and helped each other climb up.

When Kuroda was framed by gang members, it was because he vouched for them that Kuroda was able to perform a movie-like scene of clearing suspicion and taking revenge.

But after everyone became rich, the gap gradually became apparent.

Kuroda is smart and unlike him, he only knows how to fight, so he quickly got close to the big shots and worked for them.

That KTV was owned by some big shots, but Kuroda, as the manager, had an investment and earned a lot of money.

"Do you know who he works for?"

"I don't know. Besides, he seems to be working for more than one person. He's a bit like... a broker."

"You don't even know you're his brother?"

"…It was because of this alienation that I lost confidence in him."

How can someone make money without telling his brothers? Damn it, Kuroda!

Alia knocked on the table. "What's going on with his sister?"

"Because Kuroda loves his sister very much, I use her as a threat..."

"So it's true that you're clinging to someone powerful and surrendering, but at the same time you're also planning to take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble and eliminate dissidents?"

Offering Kuroda to An and Yumiko sounds so loyal.

The good brother lowered his head. This was something he could not admit but also could not deny.

If he admitted it, then no matter who he hangs out with in the future, others would not feel at ease—even though the possibility of him getting out is slim.

Even if he doesn't admit it, the facts are there, what else can he say?

Alia shook her head. It seemed that there were no more clues, so she could only get up and leave.

Not long after Sister Yu was sent to the tower apartment, she was rescued right after. The Metropolitan Police Department knew more details than the other party.

Of course, it was precisely because of such strange behavior that Ailia felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

There are three explanations. The first is that Fujita Tsuyoshi didn't know that a backstabbing had occurred, so he thought that place was a safe place to stay.

The second is that Kuroda participated in the kidnapping, and because he knew that his good brother had betrayed him, he drove the tiger to devour the wolf and used Yu's sister's safety to tie up his sister.

When the time comes, the authorities will rescue them together. It means saving one person means saving both of them, and they will be safe together.

The power of the authorities is not stronger than that of the traitors? Kuroda, who must have known the other party's professional level, believed that they were nothing in front of the authorities.

But there was a time difference between the two, that is, when this incident happened, Kuroda had a perfect alibi.

The third possibility is that the kidnapper is still Fujita Tsuyoshi, and Kuroda is a discarded pawn, a tool used to divert attention.

But if they continue like this, there will be more possibilities, and Alia doesn't have the time to play the nesting doll game with them.

Seeing Alia leaving, Kuroda's good brother gritted his teeth and said, "Actually - there is one more thing!"

"What is it?" Alia turned around and frowned slightly. "You'd better tell me everything you know, then maybe I will consider showing mercy."

"Kuroda...he...is very likely to have a strange relationship with his sister."

"What do you mean by a strange relationship?" Alia crossed her arms. "Can you explain this part more clearly? Any details?"

"..."

……

……

"Kuroda—someone wants to see you!"

Kuroda, who was in the detention room, raised his head and looked at the two police officers escorting him.

"Who?"

"Don't ask so many questions!"

"..."

This time, Kuroda was not taken to the interrogation room, but to a meeting room.

On the other side of the reception room sat a young girl, holding a disposable paper cup and blowing the hot steam from the tea in the cup.

On his side, there was a document and a bowl of pork chop rice.

After staring at the pork chop rice silently for half a second, Kuroda looked away and sat down in the seat that had been pulled out.

"One billion yen." Alia didn't even raise her eyes: "I don't care who you work for, one billion yen, let him go, I don't care what happened before."

"...I don't know what you mean, Miss Ai. Who is it?"

"Have you seen that document? It's a gift of 1 billion yen. Let's eat first. You can sign it after eating. There's no rush."

"Miss Ai——"

"Listen to me, your sister, the one named Kuroda Kikuko, underwent a medical examination after being kidnapped."

Alia put the cup on the table: "Do you know what the examination found?"

"……what?"

"She's—pregnant."

"What?" Kuroda's eyes trembled and he looked up in astonishment: "Pregnant?!"

"Yes, the child is already two months old. Don't you, as a brother, know this?"

"I... I've never heard her say..."

"Then your relationship might not be that good. I thought that since your parents are gone and you are siblings, you would be very close."

Alia sighed, "That guy Fujita Tsuyoshi has completely disappeared. I know you are still hiding something. You know where he hides him, right? I don't mind you working for him. Now I will give you more. Tell me where the place is, and I will settle the rest with him. You go to jail, which is your punishment. I will not interfere in these punishments. Your sister takes the money, and I have to ensure the safety of my family and friends. Do you understand me?"

Kuroda seemed to be somewhat tempted - or rather, no one would not be tempted under such conditions.

But he still fell into silence, and after several seconds he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ai, I once intended to offend you, but because my brother betrayed me, I didn't have time to do anything and turned myself in to save my life. Now I just want to survive... I really don't know where your family is hidden."

"My sister was immediately sent to your sister's residence, and you told me you didn't know about it?"

"I don't know why this happened. It may be that Mr. Fujita didn't know that I had already turned myself in and thought that place was still a safe house. After all, he and Kikuko had a romantic relationship before." Kuroda looked like he was racking his brains to defend himself, but his words were pale and powerless.

"Are you sure you want to answer like that?" Alia narrowed her eyes slightly: "I have already given you enough face just now."

“…But I really don’t know.”

"You can know that I don't have to ask, you know what I mean."

"I'm not hiding anything, if I was, why wouldn't I say it?"

Kuroda smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail anyway, so it doesn't matter if I have more or fewer charges, right?"

"That makes sense, then you really don't know."

"I really don't know."

"Well, since you don't know, then you have no value."

Alia walked over, picked up the document and tore it into pieces, then picked up the bowl of pork chop rice and threw it directly at his face.

The two guards who were watching over her wanted to come over to stop Alia, but Alia's fierce glare froze them in place, stiff and unable to move.

Alia grabbed Kuroda's hair, like a fierce person with a torn face who had thrown away all the disguise of gentleness.

She approached Kuroda, who was forced to lean forward by his hair, and threatened him through gritted teeth.

"I hate it most when people don't give me face. If you go to jail, your sister can be hospitalized, or you can try a car accident or something else."

"you?!"

"Who do you think you are? Why should I talk to you rubbish? She's dead - you picked it, you tough guy!"

After saying that, Alia pushed him down on the table with her backhand, and the long table made a dull "bang" sound.

Kuroda's face looked like he had been punched, and blood was flowing from his nose. The sauce from the pork chop rice and the shredded lettuce were stained on his face, making him look very embarrassed.

Alia wiped her hands and said, "Mr. Kuroda accidentally fell just now, right?"

"..."

"Thank you for your hard work. After you finish these things, have some tea."

Alia patted the guard's elbow, looked back at Kuroda who was lying motionless on the table, then turned and walked out of the room.

An Lele went to call his colleagues, leaving only An and Yumiko following him around as his little followers.

The 22-year-old young lady looked at the 18-year-old girl with a respectful look on her face: "Miss, what did you gain?"

"Did I act like a real fierce guy just now?"

“……”So you were acting just now?

With this acting skill, he can definitely play a villain that makes people hate him in a movie.

"There's something wrong with Kuroda, and it's a big problem - let the people collecting clues go to all the places where Fujita Tsuyoshi was last seen. If Fujita Tsuyoshi is still alive, then this matter may be difficult to say, but if Fujita Tsuyoshi is dead, then we can only say... Everyone was almost fooled."

Why would the police check whether the mastermind is dead in a kidnapping case?

A car just sits there, the body of the car looks like a car, the wheels look like wheels, and it drives like a car.

Then this car should be a car. It is so simple and straightforward.

But since Alia has made the arrangement, An and Yumiko naturally have to follow it.

She was confused as to why Alia did this, and Alia gave her an explanation that she couldn't understand.

"He said that he would be in prison for the rest of his life anyway, so one more charge or one less charge didn't matter."

“…Is there something wrong with this?”

"Attempted kidnapping means life imprisonment? Or does being a yakuza mean life in prison?"

"This - he probably means to go to jail to avoid disaster?"

For example, his good brother wants to kill him.

But An and Yumiko immediately realized that their good brother Erwuzai had also come in.

Was it to avoid Arya's revenge? After all, he had offended Arya severely, even though he was only an accomplice.

"Only when you don't want to go to jail will you say it doesn't matter, but in fact it does matter... Check Kuroda's financial dealings and find out who he works for. If he is involved in some sensitive matters, the people behind him will probably not let him stay in jail, but will get him out instead."

An and Yumiko were shocked.

If Fujita Tsuyoshi was dead - no, it should be said that if the mastermind was not Fujita Tsuyoshi.

If the mastermind was not Fujita Tsuyoshi, but Kuroda himself.

He planned these things and arranged his accomplices to carry them out. Fujita Tsuyoshi was just a target to attract everyone's attention.

When Fujita was charged with all the crimes and was believed to have absconded, his lackeys like Kuroda would be tried but the punishment would definitely not be too severe.

And if he had worked for some big shots and had some dirty evidence against them, those people would never let him stay in jail.

By then, the purpose of revenge would be achieved, and he would also use official power to rescue his sister, killing two birds with one stone.

The most important thing is to completely clear yourself of suspicion. No one will pay attention to a suspect who is in the dark.

"He thinks he'll be out soon? In this way, so he's absolutely unwilling to admit these things?"

"Who can tell for sure? I just instinctively think that the guy who is the least likely to be the murderer is the most likely one. Isn't that how it's played out in detective comics?"

An and Yumiko opened their mouths: "Detective-manga?"

Is that something that can be used as a reference?

"Of course, it could be other methods, such as 24 kilograms of engineering explosives."
