"The only thing that needs to be addressed right now is the bomb."
“That’s right!” Yoruichi Toyama nodded quickly. “Didn’t you contact the local police station and get bomb disposal equipment and experts here?”
"Let's take care of the bomb first!"
Facing these two partners with whom he had worked several times, Mingzhi pondered for a moment and slowly nodded.
“Yuanshan, have you ever considered this,” he said, still raising his eyebrows as if unwilling to give up, “that planting a bomb in a newly built hotel that the Lanze Group touts with such extravagance and is filled with networked surveillance cameras is not something that just two outsiders can do.”
“You’re right.” Yoruichi Toyama didn’t object, and the others around her also looked thoughtful.
"However, even if we narrow down the scope to the smallest possible level, and someone still tries to sabotage the bomb disposal, can't we still identify the suspects?"
"So let's talk about everything once we get to that island in person."
...
The dinner party started at 8 p.m., but by the time Yoruichi Toyama and Akechi boarded the speedboat to Konpaku Island, it was already 10 p.m.
Accompanying them was Lan Zegang, one of the heads of the Lanze Group.
When Lan Zegang heard that a bomb had been planted in his own hotel, the soon-to-open, gimmicky Deep Blue Hotel, his handsome face showed a look of utter disbelief.
"That's impossible!" He instinctively refused to accept this explanation. "The hotel has tight surveillance cameras everywhere!"
Akechi nodded noncommittally, but then asked, "Do you think any of the hotel staff members are particularly suspicious?"
"You...you mean there's a mole?"
Upon realizing this, Lan Ze panicked, or rather, he took this opportunity to sow discord among certain people.
He immediately provided a fairly detailed list of people.
As the executive manager of hotel development, Lan Zegang is quite competent.
In addition to staff members from various departments, even senior executives of the group were not left out.
Starting with the chairman, who is also Lan Zegang's father, Lan Zexiu, there are about 7 or 8 people on this side of the list.
This included Chairman Aizawa's second wife, who was also his former secretary, Yuri.
Lan Zegang's eldest brother, Lan Zeyou.
My younger sister, Lan Zexi.
Even Lan Zexi's three potential fiancées.
All of this was explained on the speedboat to Kinpek Island.
Therefore, when Mingzhi and his family actually landed on the island and faced Chairman Lanze and his family, they did not show much surprise.
"Gang, what exactly is going on? In the middle of the night, do we even need to wake Father?"
A short man, whose appearance bore no resemblance to Lan Zegang, rebuked him.
This is the "elder brother" that Lan Zegang mentioned, who is actually not related to him by blood at all, Lan Zeyou.
Gang and You, both sons, are adopted by Chairman Lan Ze.
Lan Zexi, who is actually the chairman's biological daughter, was not born to the deceased legal wife.
In short, your industry is truly chaotic.
However, at this moment, no one was in the mood for gossip.
Relying on his connection with the police, Lan Zegang acted with righteous indignation.
"Brother You, I had the same question. I was only gone for half a day, is the hotel's surveillance management really that lax?"
"What are you saying!" Lan Zeyou retorted, "I've been watching the surveillance footage the whole time, there's nothing wrong with it!"
"Where did you get this information? Wasn't it a prank call to file a false police report?"
He was probably just guessing, but the charge of "making a false police report" will undoubtedly fall on Yoruichi Toyama's head.
Hakuba Saguru and Hattori Heiji both looked a little annoyed.
Mingzhi simply reached out and pushed up his glasses.
"We'll find out if there's a bomb after we investigate."
"Has everyone in the hotel been evacuated?"
Knowing his identity, Lan Zeyou had no choice but to nod reluctantly.
"We quickly evacuated everyone after receiving the call from the Okinawa Prefectural Police."
"but……"
He looked around, as if searching for something.
At the same time, the sound of a speedboat engine could be heard again on the sea not far away.
...
At 10:30, the cordon outside the Deep Blue Hotel was set up, all personnel inside were evacuated, and riot police entered the hotel.
At 10:55, both old-fashioned poison gas bombs with remote detonation devices were found.
The Lanze family, who were taken refuge in a nearby guesthouse, were completely speechless.
"Who...who is trying to destroy our Lanze Group..."
Although he was over 60 years old, Chairman Lan Ze, who was still quite capable, showed signs of fatigue at this moment, muttering to himself.
“It’s not necessarily targeting Lanze Group,” said a young man supporting him. “Chairman, don’t worry too much, take care of your health.”
The speaker may seem unintentional, but the listener is sure to take it to heart.
What do you mean by that?!
Also unable to sleep in the same large room were a group of people from the Schindler Group.
Although the president may not be able to personally engage in the verbal battle, his secretary or subordinates can certainly do it on his behalf.
"Kid, are you saying someone's targeting the Schindler Group?"
Several young employees had already started rolling up their sleeves, but they hesitated slightly when they saw that the other party was a fit and strong young man with an athletic build.
"Alright! What's all this arguing about at a time like this!" The two high-ranking figures on both sides shouted at the same time.
As the young people quieted down, a girl next to Chairman Lanze quietly rolled her eyes.
