Chapter 309: The handle left by Gin?
Nagano Prefecture.
Zhu Fu Gaoming glanced at the watch on his wrist, then looked up at the entire abandoned building plunged into darkness. His narrow, wise eyes narrowed slightly. "Has the support not arrived yet?"
Yamato Gansuke: "It should be soon, right? They are really slow."
Zhu Fu Gaoming drew his pistol and said, "It's taking too long. I'll take a group of people to check it out first. You wait here for support from others."
Yamato Gansuke grabbed him and said, "You just wait here, Yui. I'll go with you."
Zhu Fu Gaoming frowned: "The other party is very likely a terrorist with a gun, you——"
"What? You look down on me?" Yamato Gansuke glared at him. "Do you believe that even with my lame legs, I can run faster than you?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming: "...Follow me closely."
So the two of them each led a small team and slowly approached the dark building under the cover of darkness.
Soon, they quietly reached the third floor.
A flickering firelight was reflected from somewhere on the upper floor. Zhu Fu Gaoming sniffed the smoke in the air and motioned everyone to move to the side.
Yamato Gansuke leaned on the stair railing, looked up, and then gestured to Zhufu Gaoming: "Go around over there."
Zhu Fu Gaoming nodded and made the same gesture: "Together later."
The two men looked at each other, and the tacit understanding of many years needed no further words. They each led their men and surrounded the location of the fire.
The man there remained completely clueless, puffing on a cigarette while talking on the phone to his employer: "How could I have known those cops were so sharp? They're like a dog-skin plaster, impossible to shake off! I'm telling you, I'm already showing professionalism by not paying more, but if I get caught, the hush money will at least triple."
"What? Send someone to pick me up?" The killer looked around suspiciously, "Are you looking for someone to kill me? I'm telling you, the cops are near me. If you dare to send someone to kill me, I promise you'll regret it—"
"Humph, you'd better not have that idea."
"Then hurry up, I can't tell you when they'll get here."
After hanging up the phone, the killer in the dark took another drag on his cigarette, then shook off the ash with some curses: "The cops here are crazy——"
The next moment, something flashed in his peripheral vision, and the killer immediately drew his gun vigilantly, but before he could see clearly what was in the darkness, he was blinded by a dazzling light.
"what--"
The killer screamed and tried to shoot according to his memory, but was knocked to the ground by Yamato Gansuke who rushed out from behind him.
"Bam—"
The two men fell to the ground at the same time, and the others rushed up and surrounded the killer.
Zhu Fu Gaoming strode forward and coordinated with Yamato Gansuke's actions to handcuff the man's hands tightly.
"Arai Yudai, we are arresting you for murder now."
Zhu Fu Gaoming squatted down and flashed his police ID to the killer, then looked at him expressionlessly. "I know you're just doing a job for someone else. If you can give up your employer, the court will consider your meritorious service. But if you don't, I'm sorry, you'll face a prison sentence of ten to twenty years."
"Also, with all due respect, your employer is already in dire straits. For his own safety, he will definitely kill you and silence you. Besides us police officers, no one else can protect you right now."
The killer's struggle paused.
Yamato Gansuke snorted coldly: "Think it over carefully."
Arai Yudai, the killer, rolled his eyes. Thinking of his employer's vague statement just now, a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead: "I know, I'll tell you, I'll tell you——"
Araki Yudai quickly told Zhufu Gaoming everything he knew.
The guy who hired the killer was not a big shot. He was just a bookstore owner from Tokyo. He liked to travel around Sakura. It was said that he was looking for sellers to buy old books and ancient books for his collection. In his circle of friends, he was a guy with very little presence.
No one expected that he was actually Arai Yudai's employer!
Zhu Fu Gaoming barely hesitated before issuing his orders. "Notify them immediately and go find him! I suspect he's already on his way here. Everyone, keep a low profile and return to the base. Don't get too close to each other, and be on the lookout for suspicious vehicles."
"Yes--"
Everyone responded, and then the group began to shift their target and look for the so-called "employer boss."
At the same time, in a secret base of the organization, Rum received a special message.
"What? People from the Nishizaki family? Why did they come here?"
Rum felt strange.
Although he was secretly keeping an eye on the Nishizaki family for some reason, this was the first time he had seen someone come directly to him.
"I don't know either. He just said he hopes to trade with us again."
The bartender opposite covered his mouth and whispered to Rum.
"Oh?" Rum's eyes flickered as he suddenly thought of something and asked immediately, "Tell him first that cooperation is possible, but he must first tell me how he found me."
Such a clear goal, could it be that... something that happened nine years ago left some clues?
An evil glint of conspiracy flashed in Rum's eyes.
Could it be that Gin's evidence is about to fall into his hands?
Thinking of this, Rum suddenly became restless.
——Nine years ago, the organization was at its most powerful.
The organization used the Karasuma Group to disguise several branches and conducted external recruitment, attracting many outstanding scientific researchers and top-notch equipment. The research on "immortality" was also progressing at an extremely optimistic pace.
But at this time, the government headed by Hase Jin issued a series of bills on limiting the use of drugs, reducing the time scientific researchers spend on experiments, etc., which dealt a heavy blow to the lifeblood of the organization.
Because of these laws, organizations that could originally use the rules to cover up their research tracks will be forced to disperse part of their research and transfer it to different cities in Sakura.
At the same time, the cost of imported pharmaceutical materials will be more than doubled compared to the original cost, and customs relations will need to be re-cleared, and the new customs law has many restrictions...
Anyway, to sum up, the several bills proposed by Hasegawa Hitoshi all stepped on the boss's minefield.
Almost not long after coming out, the boss gave a death order, asking Rum to deal with this ignorant idiot.
——There’s no need to even try to win over or threaten people, just kill them directly.
From this we can see that the boss was also very angry because of Hase Jin.
At that time, Rum was still the "loyal" and prestigious second-in-command, and Gin was not as powerful as he is now, almost on par with Rum. He was just a top killer with outstanding abilities and decisiveness.
So after receiving the task from the gentleman, Rum did not do it himself, but threw the task to Gin and asked Gin to complete it himself.
At that time, Gin was already famous in the underground circle. In order to prevent him from attracting the police's attention to the organization, Rum deliberately made things difficult for Gin, asking him to do it as "another killer" and not leave any trace.
As for the final result, it is obvious that the murder of Windru's family has become an unsolved case that terrifies many people, and Hasegawa Jin... Gin had already used a knife to kill someone without even doing it himself, and let him die in the detention center.
This major case, pursued by countless police officers and detectives, ultimately allowed the organization to successfully disappear and exit the scene beautifully.
It is also because of this task that the BOSS favors Gin and is determined to push Gin and Rum to "compete".
