The moment the name Mitsuko Ikeda was uttered, Hirokazu Takeda's expression changed instantly.
At this moment, he didn't have time to think about how Jiang Si found out about this news.
His top priority is to get out of there as soon as possible.
He pulled a work ID from his pocket. "Ms. Jiang, I am a legal citizen of France and an employee of the UNDP in China. I enjoy certain diplomatic immunity. You Chinese have no right to arrest me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Si ripped the work ID into several pieces.
"Are you crazy?" Takeda stared in disbelief at the shards scattered all over the ground.
"Mr. Takeda, I advise you to save your breath!"
Jiang Si chuckled and said, "At your level, you can only enjoy partial immunity at best, and criminal immunity is not included."
"Besides, you've been in China for so long, you should know what it means to pay back debts and to pay for murder with your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, several police officers stepped forward and handcuffed him.
It wasn't until he was put into the car that Takeda belatedly realized what had happened.
Once we're in, it won't be so easy for us to get out.
Otherwise, Jiang Si wouldn't have shown up just now, much less revealed Mrs. Ikeda's real name in front of him.
However, the person most afraid of Takeda's arrest was not Takeda himself, but Vice Minister Xu.
That evening, the outdoor exercise time ended.
Just as Vice Minister Xu was being escorted back by the police, the two unexpectedly bumped into each other in the corridor.
Upon seeing Takeda, Vice Minister Xu, who had been calm just moments before, suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the two police officers who reacted quickly and pulled him up, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.
How could this be? In less than a day, how could Takeda have been captured?
Could it be that something went wrong on his end?
But then I thought about it and realized it was unlikely.
The corridor was so short that before Vice Minister Xu could even gather his thoughts, Takeda was already standing in front of him.
He didn't say anything, but the way he looked at Vice Minister Xu was as if he wanted to devour him.
In Takeda's view, everyone in the world is driven by profit.
Xu Bingkun was willing to betray the motherland that gave him birth and raised him for fame and fortune, and he would also sell himself out to save his own life.
In other words, he was currently handcuffed on both his hands and feet; otherwise, he would have risked his life to exchange his for another's.
Under his bloodthirsty gaze, Vice Minister Xu subconsciously swallowed.
In all honesty, he hasn't confessed a single word since he came in!
But the way Takeda looked at him just now clearly showed he wanted to kill him.
What exactly happened in between? Vice Minister Xu was completely baffled.
As a result, he remained in a dazed and confused state when interrogated by the police.
Finally, Jiang Si's knocking on the door pulled him back to reality.
Seeing Jiang Si approach, Vice Minister Xu felt as if he had found a lifeline.
He subconsciously assumed that Minister Zhao had sent her.
Yes, it must be!
Jiang Si has a powerful background. She is not only an unofficial staff member of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and the former director of the Public Security Bureau, but also her fourth uncle.
With her involved, there should still be room for maneuver in this matter.
Thinking about all this, Vice Minister Xu said with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, you've come at the right time. Please help me explain..."
However, his words came to an abrupt halt when he met Jiang Si's cool gaze.
I don't know if it was just his imagination.
He had a feeling that Jiang Si wasn't there to plead for him.
Instead, it seems like...
Vice Minister Xu was startled by this idea.
Jiang Si didn't say anything, she just watched him quietly as he performed.
Director Wei and the other interrogator exchanged a glance, both remaining silent in perfect unison.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room instantly became eerie.
Despite sensing something was amiss, Vice Minister Xu forced himself to say what followed.
Finally, she said with a wronged look, "Xiao Jiang, you know that Lao Yan and I have been friends for many years. How could I do such a thing? This must be a frame-up..."
"That's hard to say, after all, you can know a person's face but not their heart!"
Vice Minister Xu looked astonished.
If he had only suspected something before, Jiang Si's gaze and sarcastic words undoubtedly confirmed his guess.
I still can't believe it. "Xiao Jiang, what do you mean by that?"
"Vice Minister Xu, it's come to this point, aren't you going to tell the truth?"
"I'm telling the truth!"
Vice Minister Xu is stubborn as a mule; even on the verge of death, he still can't resist playing the sympathy card.
"Xiao Jiang, you've been with the company for so long, you should know how I've treated you. I've always been very supportive of you at work..."
He should have kept quiet about it, but the moment he did, Jiang Si couldn't help but let out a soft scoff.
"It's really good, so good that it's almost killing me!"
Vice Minister Xu: "Xiao Jiang, what makes you say that?"
"What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"
Jiang Si sneered, "Vice Minister Xu, you are very smart, but don't treat everyone else like fools."
"Takeda Hiroichi has already confessed. Do you think I'll still believe what you're saying now?"
He...he confessed?
Upon hearing this, Vice Minister Xu's pupils dilated in shock.
Jiang Si took in his expression and continued, "You knew I had to work overtime that day, so you notified him and asked him to tamper with my car."
"Unfortunately, he didn't find the opportunity."
"He also said that you instructed him to lure Secretary Tan to the riverbank, force him to drink alcohol, and then push him into the river!"
