Chapter 2116: Black Week 5's Acting Skills

Wednesday, June 11, evening, Port of Osaka.

Regarding Shuichi Akai's proposal, James responded after ordering, "Akai, do you have any questions about this old lady?"

Before Akai Hideichi could speak, Hattori came over, "Hey, what's the matter? What did the old lady say?"

James spread his hands and said, "She didn't say anything because of you."

"Ah?" Hattori's mouth twisted in anger, "What does this have to do with me, I'm a serious Osaka native."

James didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to himself, he was still struggling with this matter.

Hattori urged: "Hey, talk, what's going on."

James laughed: "She was afraid that you would tell the police and she didn't want to pay taxes, so she canceled the transaction."

"This is too shrewd." Hattori said weakly.

At this time, a search officer came back and reported that he had inquired about the old woman from the dock workers and confirmed that the old woman often came to visit, but she didn't know her name or where she lived.

Hattori said: "This is easy to handle, just ask the patrol police."

Afterwards, everyone went to the police station, asked the patrolmen, and learned about the situation of the old woman.

"That mother-in-law," said the patrolman, "Her name is Kyoko Okamoto, she must be 69 years old, and she rented a cheap apartment near Osaka Castle by herself, and it is said that she has lived there for a long time."

Akai Hideichi asked, "How do you know?"

The patrolman scratched his head and said, "It rained heavily a few years ago. I ran into her and sent her home." Then he said with a wry smile, "My house is full of rubbish, and I really can't live in it. I still go to help her during the rest. She cleaned it up."

Otaki Police Department said: "It means that you know him, so please take it to see."

"Okay, no problem." The patrolman hesitated, "Well, what did she do to ask your police department to find her?"

"No, you don't have to worry, it's just to assist in the investigation." Otaki Police Department said with a smile.

"So that's how it is," the patrolman breathed a sigh of relief, "I must have found something while picking up trash. I heard that she has a wide range of activities and moves around at will."

"Yeah," the patrolman whispered, "couldn't you pick up a huge amount of unidentified stolen money?"

The Otaki Police Department was a little dumbfounded, "This is yet to be investigated."

"Excuse me, do you know the situation of her family?" James asked, "How many properties does she have?"

The patrolman nodded and said, "Yes, about the house, I heard her talk about it. She said that there are villas in Tokyo and the suburbs of Osaka, and dozens of acres of forest land in Aomori County, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Afterwards, everyone drove, and the patrolman showed the way, and took everyone to Kyoko Okamoto's apartment, but they didn't go up to visit, they were just outside, and then found that there was no light in the apartment, that is, no one was there.

Hattori asked, "Are you sure it's here?"

"Yes, but I don't know if they moved out later." The patrolman suggested, "If not, I'll ask the administrator."

Akai Hideichi said: "No need, we came here by car, she may still be on the way."

The patrolman said, "Then I'll go back first."

Otaki Police Department said, "I'll see you off."

"No, no, I'll borrow a bicycle." The patrolman refused.

Otaki Police Department said embarrassedly: "That is really troublesome for you."

"It should."

The patrolman left, but returned shortly afterwards, and told the crowd that he knew where the old woman, Kyoko Okamoto, was.

When he was borrowing a car from a nearby policeman, he casually chatted with the policeman here, and was told that the old woman Kyoko Okamoto should now be reading magazines at the convenience store in Daiyo Morinomiya Square, waiting for convenience stores and fast food restaurants, etc. Food stores dispose of expired food.

In the past, food from food stores such as convenience stores and fast food restaurants were directly recycled,

The old woman Kyoko Okamoto and others also had conflicts with those food stores. Those food stores decided to let them choose before recycling food, and then collect the rest after they finished the selection.

Everyone took a look, and the old lady Kyoko Okamoto was indeed in the convenience store, sitting in the corner of the convenience store on the small stool she brought with her, reading the magazines on the shelf next to her.

There is also a water cup on the ground, which seems to be a self-contained cup, boiled water picked up at a convenience store.

She was accompanied by companions, who occasionally spoke softly.

And looking around, there seemed to be quite a few people waiting like the old woman Kyoko Okamoto in the surrounding shops.

Not only the elderly, but also the street sleepers and homeless people in the Osaka Castle Park. They seem to be sitting on the benches outside because of their disheveled clothes. Some of them are having a meal and drinking beer, but there is little movement.

At this time, Hattori's cell phone rang first, and his mother told him to go home quickly, so he asked Otaki Police Department to take him back.

Hattori understands that the Bureau of Investigation is suspicious of the identity of the old woman Kyoko Okamoto, but as it is now, there is no doubt about the identity of the old woman Kyoko Okamoto.

Akai Shuichi also asked James to leave with the colleagues of the investigation bureau, but he did not leave because he had an indescribable feeling about the old woman Kyoko Okamoto.

Nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the old woman Kyoko Okamoto and her companions left the convenience store, and the people in other stores did the same. rushed over.

This is also a matter of territory, because there is no certain number of items left in the store, and everyone waits for their own.

But in the end, it is usually a group of people, and everyone has a meal, so there are all, it is the problem of portion.

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the food stores on the square began to dispose of expired food, and some immediately closed.

Malls have the most stuff to process and the most people waiting outside.

There are not many things in the convenience store, and there are not many people queuing outside.

Some leftovers from breakfast, such as big meat buns, rice balls.

Eggs and bento that have been stored for a few days, the most processed in convenience stores are all kinds of bento.

A few small bags of vacuum-packed rice noodles, a few small bags of vacuum-packed ready-to-open food, some packs of snacks, a few small bags of frozen fresh food, a few small bags of clean vegetables, some fruits, and a few bottles of beverages, including beer.

After the things were divided up, they were not polite, and the meat buns were heated in the microwave in the convenience store.

Some people left, some people continued, preparing the dinner.

Take the meat to the fast food restaurant and ask them to fry it for you.

Vegetables and fruits are chopped like this with the knife that comes with it, beaten with eggs and mixed, and then poured with salad dressing.

Everything is divided equally per person, one vegetable and fruit salad per person, one croquette per person, and one beer per person.

There is not enough beer to share, and it will be divided after it is poured out. Whether to drink it or not is another matter.

The same is true for other things, common and average ownership.

The old lady Kyoko Okamoto went with a group of people to a dinner party in Osaka Castle Park, and drank a glass of beer, more than 300 milliliters.

Finally, holding a small bag of rice, dragged her garbage truck, and staggered back to the apartment.

When the lights in the apartment were turned on, Akai Hideo checked the time, and it was already past eleven at night.

Although there is still an inexplicable and lingering shadow in his heart, Akai Shuichi also suspects now that he is suspicious. He has to admit that from the actions of this old woman Kyoko Okamoto, she is really a An old woman who picks up trash and sleeps in the trash.

I don't know if her life is really tight, but she is really greedy for petty gain, grabbing money everywhere, and she must distinguish everything clearly.

If her real estate is real, then selling the house in Tokyo and buying a house in the suburbs is an opportunist behavior. In this way, she really dares to see the opportunity and then blackmail a hundred million yen.

It is completely normal to change the time and place in order not to pay taxes. Her financial situation may not be able to withstand a comprehensive inspection by the tax department.

At this time, the lights in the apartment went out, and Akai Shuichi stared at it for a while, and went back when he saw that there was no movement. ...

The next day, Thursday, June 12.

The Otaki Police Department helped the Bureau of Investigation find the real estate of the old woman Kyoko Okamoto in Osaka City, located in Hirano District.

Everyone rushed over and found a single-family building that seemed to be in disrepair.

The policeman was called to inquire, and it was confirmed that the owner of the house was the old woman Kyoko Okamoto. Her husband was buried in the nearby Guapa Cemetery, and her own tomb was also there, and she had bought it long ago.

The problem with this house is that it has expired, and if you want to live in it, you have to spend money to repair it first, and for this money, the government only provides loans and tax deductions.

From a policy point of view, if it is a general vacant house, it is also taxed.

But this house is a dilapidated house beyond the age limit. It cannot be lived in but has an owner. In theory, it can be repaired at any time.

If the owner is gone, the government can naturally take back the land and the house on it, even if there is an heir.

But as long as the owner is there and the house is left like this, there is no way for the government to intervene in the management.

We can only wait for the completion of the repairs, and then charge the corresponding land tax according to the route price at that time.

As for the time in between, in theory it can be as long as it takes, one year of practice is considered repair, and ten years of repair is also considered repair.

What the old lady Kyoko Okamoto is doing now is a thing, and the reason for doing so is that she is waiting for the house to collapse naturally, and nine out of ten it will collapse in an earthquake.

In that case, when the time comes, the government will have to subsidize her in the name of disaster relief, help her build a house, and at the same time reduce or exempt a series of taxes.

In fact, in terms of investment and income, the money for house repairs can be earned back.

It is best to demolish such a dilapidated house and rebuild it. The cost is about 5 million yen, and then rent it out as a new house, which will definitely pay back within four years.

If tax avoidance means are used, two or three years may be enough.

If there is a shortage of money, the government can also provide low-interest loans.

It's completely unnecessary to do like the old lady Kyoko Okamoto, but she has no choice but to let her wait slowly if she insists on doing this.
