Chapter 36: The King of Cang Incident

Because of Lan Tang's matter, Ace has been in a bad mood this week, and he has been quieter than usual.

In this matter, Sen Ouwai did not have any intention of being a caring uncle to enlighten and educate him.

Before Lan Tang could get down to earth, the people who had been sent to monitor Councillor Yoshinaga Sugiura also got news - or at least news, because that team of people all had problems.

"The King of Blue has appeared." Ozaki Kouye reported, "The five-man team that was sent to monitor Sugiura Yoshinaga was knocked unconscious and thrown in Warehouse No. 7. In addition, Sugiura Yoshinaga, who was being monitored by them, has been missing since then."

"It's a little late, but I have already sent Sakaguchi Ango to the place where Sugiura Yoshinaga was last seen to investigate this matter."

Mori Ogai put the coffee cup aside and said in distress, "It's a warning."

The person he sent to monitor was found to be a member of their port mafia. However, to his surprise, given the other party's radical thinking, he did not kill his people directly.

"How is that team doing now?"

"We have brought them all back, but they haven't woken up yet."

"When they wake up, ask them if they have seen the face of the Lord of the Sky."

"yes."

Although they said so, they both knew that the possibility of this group seeing the face of the King of Cang was almost zero.

The King of Cang was originally a government official, but after he left the government system and became the King of Cang, all official portrait data about him was cleared. And it is foreseeable that not only the portrait data in the official system, but also all other places where the portrait data of the King of Cang could be found have been cleared, otherwise the official would not even be able to produce a decent wanted order with a full face.

"Don't spend too much energy on this. We need manpower in all aspects recently to restore the Port Mafia to its previous level, and we need to develop it even further." Mori Ogai chuckled, "For our goal."

Originally, the King of Cang was just someone he was considering recruiting. If he failed to recruit him, it would be a pity at best. But if he caught the attention of the King of Cang and made him turn his attention to the Port Mafia and deal with them, it would be a loss.

Ozaki Kouyo's originally serious face also put on a smile, "For our goal."

After the Port Mafia develops again, we can consider eliminating the Takase-kai and dominate the Yokohama underworld. As for the GSS, which quickly became one of the three major organizations in Yokohama after entering Yokohama, it is no longer a force to be reckoned with now, so we can eliminate it anytime we want.

Suddenly, Ozaki Koyo's cell phone rang.

Ozaki Kouha picked it up and saw that it was a message from the secretary. Ozaki Kouha's smile suddenly faded, "Your Excellency, the King of the Blue has begun to take action. Do you mind if I use your computer?"

"Of course I don't mind." Mori Ogai looked at Alice, who had been sitting on the ground drawing silently, and said, "Alice-chan, can you help me get my notebook?"

Alice glanced at him with disdain and took the laptop from the other side of the room. "Here, idiot Rintaro."

Ozaki Koyo turned a blind eye to this scene of "loving father and filial daughter".

Mori Ogai turned on his computer and connected to the TV signal. Soon, the upper body of Sugiura Yoshinaga appeared on the computer screen. He was tied to a chair, with his hands tied behind his back, a circle of black tape on his mouth, and fear visible on his face.

[…Yes, he is Mr. Yoshinaga Sugiura, the councillor who will be stepping down next month!] A mechanical voice came from the speakers, which was changed by some instrument, and said, [He is tied up here today because he is about to be tried!]

The video was live, and the signal on the computer was a little slow, so they missed the previous content. However, from this sentence, we can judge that what they missed before was probably just some meaningless opening remarks.

[Yoshinaga Sugiura has been a member of parliament for 5 years and 11 months. During this time, he accepted bribes, fabricated political achievements, forged evidence, and shielded murderers... Recently, he colluded with a group of drug dealers who were being hunted by the police, exerting pressure on the police in an attempt to open a way for the drug dealers to escape arrest! But such a person is about to retire smoothly with both fame and fortune! How can this be possible!? ]

[There were victims who reported his evil deeds, but the result was that the victims were framed and slandered, and died at the hands of public opinion and pressure, and eventually their families were destroyed! And him! This hateful scum in human skin! He actually wiped a few tears afterwards and said some high-sounding lies that he was willing to forgive to deceive the world! He is guilty! He deserves to die! ]

【This evil ghost will pay for his actions here! 】

The tone of the King of Pale's accusation became more and more passionate, like an orator giving a passionate speech, but his sharp words were actually denouncing someone's crime and intending to pass judgment on it.

"The investigation is quite detailed," said Ozaki Koyo.

Sen Gu just smiled and said nothing.

Such detailed intelligence is enough to prove that the King of Cang is not acting alone. Either he has recruited other people to gather intelligence for him, or he himself has special abilities suitable for gathering intelligence, or there are other organizations behind him or individuals who are in a position to obtain this intelligence and provide him with intelligence.

It seems that the problem of the King of Cang is not as simple as that of an ordinary terrorist.

The King of the Blues had not yet finished his speech. He finished describing Yoshinaga Sugiura's crimes and said, "This room is equipped with nearly a ton of explosives. The power of the explosion is enough to blow down the entire room and even the building. Although it is a bit of a waste to pair it with a scum like Mr. Sugiura, it should be respected enough as a firework to scare the scum."

The King of Blue's voice, which was originally excited and high-pitched, strangely became calm again, and at the end it even had a smile that was both rational and a little crazy.

It was clearly a respectful title, but the whole sentence sounded condescending and sarcastic.

When Sugiura Yoshinaga on the screen heard what the King of Pale said, his eyes widened in horror and he struggled violently. However, because he was tied to a chair, he could only shake along with the chair he was sitting on, making a "click-click-click" noise on the floor, and his mouth, which was sealed with tape, also made a "mmm-mmm" sound of fear.

"It's crazy." Ozaki Momiji commented.

"But he does have the ability," said Mori Ogai, "but I don't know what kind of power is supporting him."

Ozaki Koyo's phone rang again. She picked it up and opened it. She saw a message from her secretary saying that they had found the place where Sugiura Yoshinaga was tied up, but the King of Aoi was not there. The only person talking at the scene was a mobile phone that was on the phone.

And the police are about to arrive there. In order to avoid conflict, they have now evacuated there.

“Those who have found their place can be promoted appropriately.”

In the video, the place where Sugiura Yoshinaga was imprisoned had only one window that was not facing the camera. The only information that could be used to determine his location was the offset angle of the sunlight coming in from the window and the very faint outdoor sound in the ambient sound.

To be able to find Sugiura Yoshinaga's location based on these clues, he must be very familiar with the area or have an extraordinary memory. In short, he is a good candidate.

Ozaki Koyo nodded in agreement.

Neither of them mentioned whether or not to save the person. Of course, they were originally members of the Mafia, not good people, and even from their perspective, they wished that this rubbish that harmed Yokohama would die sooner.

The King of Blue in the video continued: [Ah, let me see, how long will it take for the bomb to explode? ... Oh, 1 minute and 21 seconds, Mr. Sugiura, do you think the police will be able to save you in time? Ah... It was a mistake, I shouldn't have sealed your mouth at this time. After all, if you could speak now, you might curse the police, saying things like 'Why don't you come to save me, you bastards?' I feel sorry for those police officers. ]

There must be someone in the King of Cang who has hacking skills, or maybe that person is himself, because these "trials" were hacked into television stations and broadcast simultaneously across the country.

Therefore, it was not only Mori Ogai and Ozaki Kouyo who were watching this video. Even the police were watching the live broadcast in order to catch the King of Aoi.

A police officer felt the same way when he heard what the King of Cang said. "I think he is right. I don't want to save this kind of scum. I might as well let him go--"

"Xiao Gu! Don't say such things. We are police officers." Another police officer beside him scolded.

"Yes!" Officer Kotani was startled. His body tensed up for a moment and then relaxed. "No one else heard it anyway."

The police officer who was driving the car said speechlessly: "Xiao Gu, you should be more careful. Even if you are in the professional group, it is easy for you to offend people with your mouth and get into trouble."

The co-pilot stared at the in-car video and then looked at his watch. He said, "There's only a little over a minute left before the explosion. Even if the explosives disposal team from the security department goes there, they can only guide the explosion, right?" He complained, "It's definitely too late to defuse the bomb. It's good enough if we can get there before the explosion. I hope there aren't many people there so we can evacuate quickly."

"According to our previous calculations, there shouldn't be many people around that place. If my reasoning is correct, that place should be a two-story factory, and it's the kind that's being prepared for transfer."

"That's good." Officer Odani breathed a sigh of relief.

The co-pilot would check his watch from time to time and say, "Taguchi, look at how far away that place is."

Officer Taguchi, who was sitting next to Kotani in the back seat, spread out a map on his lap, and Kotani leaned over to look at it. Taguchi pointed along the road they were driving on, frowning, "Not good, there are still about 500 to 600 meters to go. If we reach our destination, we may not have enough time to find Councillor Sugiura, let alone save him!"

"I'd rather just leave him like that—"

"Xiao Gu——!"

"...Okay." Officer Odani shut up obediently after his three colleagues stopped him in unison.

Because it was a serious explosives case, the police officers who came were naturally not just the four of them, but also several police cars. When they arrived outside the factory, there were only 27 seconds left before the explosion that the King of Cang mentioned.

The car with the only inspector from Kanagawa Police Station stopped first. When Kotani and Taguchi got off, they heard Inspector Sugita yelling, "You let my men rush in to save people in 20 seconds?! Saving people or committing suicide?! That's a ton of explosives! I won't let my men take risks for such scum! Anyway, I'm not a professional, and this is the end of my career! If you have the guts, rip me bald! I wonder if you can live up to this reputation in front of the people of the whole country!"
