On the following day, during the investigative headquarters' meeting, Asai Ayumi put forward the hypothesis Aoyama Xiu Xin had made the previous evening.
Asai Youki indicated that he would suggest Police Headquarters increase the police force and strengthen security at Tokyo's various banks.
He and his daughter had probably already agreed on this matter at home last night, and today it was just a matter of going through the official procedures at work.
After the meeting concluded, everyone dispersed.
Aoyama Xiu Xin made a beeline for the restroom but unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance there, a former subordinate from his time at Police Headquarters—Tanaka Noriaki.
Tanaka Noriaki also saw him and immediately averted his gaze, bowing, "Police Chief Aoyama.
"No, no, no, thanks to you, I'm no longer a police chief," said Aoyama Xiu Xin with a chuckle.
