I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 170 Catch him, otherwise there’s no use for the Superintendent!

Kitagawa Hidekazu Yumeko had just returned to "Peter Cat" when they soon received a call from Hikigaya Nako.

He was just about to ask about the police's arrest of the "Drunkard Rose Saint", but he heard the lively and lovely little policewoman in his memory sobbing and saying "I'm sorry" to him repeatedly.

Kitagawa Hide whispered to comfort her, and then learned the whole story.

Hikigaya Nako couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, and finally decided to secretly call Mr. Kitagawa to tell him the truth.

She didn't want to join the director and the others in deceiving Mr. Kitagawa.

"I understand. Ms. Hikigaya, this is not your fault. Please don't take it too seriously. You have done everything you should do."

As soon as Kitagawa Hideo hung up the call, he received another call from Fujiwara Kei.

He remembered that Fujiwara Kei was entrusted by Kawaide Shizuko to deliver Yumiko Iwao's urn to Aoyama Cemetery.

Later, Kitagawa Hide specifically asked Kawaide Shizuko whether Fujiwara Kei was a member of the Kawaide family in the police force.

Japanese conglomerates are different from Korean conglomerates.

Rather than inheritance, they value the continuation of the group more.

Therefore, unlike the traditional model of "passing down from grandfather to father, and from father to son" in other national conglomerates, Japanese conglomerates will even let women recruit capable sons-in-law when there is a lack of capable male heirs in the family, and then let the couple raise a new successor who is capable of inheriting the conglomerate.

They feel that the bloodline of a female heir is also family bloodline.

This is completely different from the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls in many countries.

Japanese conglomerates will also recruit a large number of young and promising people or people from other families with good strength from all walks of life to protect the new successors of the family - they believe that the old team will be overly influenced by other forces within the family.

Shizuko Kawaide neither denied nor admitted it.

This means that Fujiwara Kei should have been one of the team members she personally selected during the probation period.

The big boss has a close relationship with him, and Kitagawa Hideto is prepared to establish good personal relationships with her personal team, such as driver Kinoshita and others.

As for the circle of contacts, in a country like Japan where there is a strong sense of group consciousness, these things still play a significant role.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is actually better than what Fujiwara Kei told the director.

Fujiwara Kei did not want to offend the director and the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, his promotion and retirement benefits were in the hands of these people.

But he didn't want to offend Shizuko Kawaide even more.

At the director's level, he will definitely be able to find a private enterprise to affiliate with after retirement, and the treatment for his "re-employment" will certainly be good.

But for a police lieutenant like him, without strong connections, he can only retire for real when he retires. If he can ride on the coattails of a chaebol family, he won't have to worry about those trivial worries in the future.

After the director finished talking about that, he immediately went to find Shizuko Kawaide to explain the situation. Shizuko Kawaide's answer was very simple.

Don't make Mr. Kitagawa unhappy.

She is currently discussing the serialization of a new book and the release of the physical book of "Paradise Lost" with Hide Kitagawa.

In order to truly retain Kitagawa Hide's heart, Kawaide Shizuko proposed a surprising plan at the monthly board meeting of Kawaide Shobo:

She wanted to share the equity with Kitagawa Hide so that Mr. Kitagawa could guarantee that at least one new book would be serialized in "Wenyi" every year.

In addition, the physical books of all new novels will be published by Kawaide Shobo, and the adaptation rights of the novels will also be transferred to Kawaide Shobo.

The board of directors did not deny Kitagawa Hide's creative ability and money-making capacity, but Kawaide Shizuko actually proposed to give him shares. Doesn't that mean that in the future a writer under "Wenyi" will also appear at this table like them?

If only a small number of shares were sold, they would have no objection at all. With this amount, Kitagawa Hide could even go to the Tokyo Stock Exchange and directly buy Kawaide Shobo's shares.

But Shizuko Kawaide said 3%.

In the definition of the company's equity line, 3% of the shares means that this shareholder will have the right to make temporary proposals and can submit temporary proposals in writing to the convener 10 days before the shareholders' meeting.

She was going to give Kitagawa Hide 3% of the shares, which meant that Kawaide Shizuko would tacitly allow Kitagawa Hide to become a small shareholder of Kawaide Shobo with real power for free.

Their status is not much different from the people at this table at every meeting!
Such a large change in equity within the company cannot be accomplished by Shizuko Kawaide simply selling 3% of her shares to Hide Kitagawa.

Because a sudden change in shareholding exceeds 1%, it means that you have affected the interests of the majority of shareholders.

You have to tell all shareholders (including retail investors who buy your stocks) why you are doing this.

Otherwise, such behavior might cause a sharp plunge in the share price of Kawaide Shobo.

Kawaide Shobo is not some unknown small listed company, but a leading publishing company that is on par with Kodansha and Shinchosha.

3% of the shares are worth about 20 billion yen!

This is no small amount.

Now Shizuko Kawaide is trying every means to make the board of directors accept her "big gamble" on Kitagawa Hide. If something unpleasant happens at this critical juncture, Mr. Kitagawa will reject the project.

Shizuko Kawaide really wants to kill someone.

The last person who did this to commit suicide was actually dead.

She would never become the second generation of Noma Sawako.

After receiving the instructions, Fujiwara Kei called Kitagawa Hide without saying anything, and told him the attitude of the Kokubunji Police Station and the Metropolitan Police Department, and also stated his own position and views. Kitagawa Hide didn't say much after listening. He didn't mind helping the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department to clean up their mess. After all, there was no need to offend a large group of people for a small matter.

But he had one request.

That means the Kokubunji City Police Department must arrest juvenile offender A as soon as possible, preferably within the next two days.

God knows if he is looking for new targets now.

A life has already been lost due to a mistake. If another innocent person is harmed, even if the Superintendent of Police comes to ask him for help, he will flatly refuse!

As for having dinner with the Director, forget it.

Kitagawa Hide was too lazy to attend such a hypocritical dinner.

In his previous life, because he had no background and ability, in order to graduate smoothly and get a good job, no matter how unwilling he was, Kitagawa Xiu toasted more diligently than anyone else and was more keen to participate in such social drinking parties than his other brothers.

In this life, I have traveled through time and space and it has become a very lucky start. There is no point in living like this anymore.

He wants to live the way he wants and live happily with his lovely wife.

I did enough despicable things in my previous life, so I'll just forget about it in this life.

However, Kitagawa Hide made a separate appointment with Hikigaya Nako to have dinner at his restaurant, and then briefly talked about this with Yumeko and asked her to prepare some food.

He apologized for hiding it from Yumeko before. Although it was just a trivial matter, he did not tell Yumeko the truth.

Both of them like to be honest with each other and don't keep too many secrets in their hearts. This is also the key reason why a good Japanese family can be harmonious.

I thought Yumeko would be upset for a while, but she just smiled sweetly and said, "I know, Xiujun is the one who has worked hard~"

Like a wife, she understood Kitagawa Hide's difficulties and supported all his decisions wholeheartedly!
The slight gloomy feeling that Kitagawa Hide had caused by the "Drunken Rose Saint Tournament" incident quickly dissipated with the kiss and understanding that Mengzi offered him.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Nako Hikigaya arrived at the meeting as scheduled, her broad mind unable to be concealed even through her thick coat.

She had heard that Mr. Kitagawa had opened a jazz cafe near Kokubunji Station, but due to her status and work, she had never visited him once.

Walking into the lobby, Nako Hikigaya was instantly attracted by the elegant environment and style of the cafe.

She solemnly handed the souvenirs she brought to Kitagawa Hide and bowed 90 degrees to express her apology.

Yumeko, who came out wearing an apron, quickly became familiar with Hikigaya Nako through casual chatting.

I don’t know if it’s because of her internship at Kawaide Shobo, or because of the frequent interactions with Kitagawa fans from all walks of life, but Yumeko’s communication skills are getting stronger and stronger, making Kitagawa Hideto admire her growth rate.

The reason why Kitagawa Xiu invited her to come for dinner this time was mainly to comfort this serious and kind-hearted little policewoman.

After several contacts, he felt that Nako Hikigaya was worth making friends with. Just like Izumi Sakai, Kitagawa Hide hoped that as he developed, Yumeko would be able to get to know more high-quality women from all walks of life.

After all, she will not be able to escape the "wives' meeting" in the future. If she has a group of business friends of her own in advance, it will be much easier for her to deal with such a situation in the future.

Nako Hikigaya, who was chatting with Yumeko and enjoying her meal, had no idea that Mr. Kitagawa had already made clear arrangements for her.

After the meal, the three of them opened some beer and chatted while drinking. Soon the topic turned to novels.

The little police girl praised Hideo Kitagawa's "Paradise Lost". Since reading his book, she has completely become like Mr. Kitagawa!
After she said this, Kitagawa Shucai realized that his novel had already had a significant impact in many fields.

And not just in the literary world.

All over Japan, teachers, doctors, police officers, lawyers, bosses, ordinary office workers, students, etc., all like to read his books.

His books are gradually influencing the thinking and lives of several generations of Japanese!
As they chatted and drank three rounds of drinks, the two women, who were a little tipsy, began to talk about their dissatisfaction and troubles at work.

Women are generally discriminated against in the workplace. Even though Yumeko is Kitagawa Hide's girlfriend, she cannot avoid being bullied and looked down upon.

Hikigaya Nako was even more annoyed. Unable to bear the pointing and sarcasm from her colleagues, she took the initiative to transfer to the traffic and youth safety department, because there were female police officers like her there.

When talking about work, the topic inevitably returned to the "Drunken Rose Saint Fight" case.

Kitagawa Hide has told the young policewoman everything she knows. When she and Fujiwara Kei talk together, and if they let it go, the murderer will probably be caught soon.

This matter will probably just pass like this.

He scratched his head and decided to focus on the idea of ​​the new book.
". Go over? Mr. Beichuan, even if we catch him, what can we do? He is a minor and is protected by the law. We can only transfer him to the Youth Management Center, and he will be out soon."

Hikigaya Nako held a beer can in her hand, her teeth itching with hatred.

Such a little devil should be reformed in prison forever!
He killed two people!

The boy who was just killed was only eleven years old and was killed so cruelly!

The murderer is safe and sound!
“Unable to be punished by law”

Kitagawa Hide frowned slightly.

He hadn't thought much about it before.

After all, arresting and trying people is the job of the police and judges, and he doesn't need to be involved.

Now that I think about it, I seem to have subconsciously ignored the "Juvenile Law" and the "Minors Scum Protection Law"?
