Chapter 145 Emergency Meeting
When Takagi Wataru came to investigate the scene, he had no idea the situation was so challenging. When his colleague received the police call and told him the name of the victim, his first reaction was disbelief.
No matter how strong Mr. Maori's Death Halo is, it has never defeated his neighbors, right?
The person who called the police was so frightened that he was incoherent and could not speak clearly. When he arrived at the scene, Takagi Wataru realized that Wakita Kanenori had been shot to death!
A colleague from the Forensic Department handed the bullet that fell nearby to Takagi Wataru. He held the evidence bag and couldn't help frowning in thought.
How could an ordinary sushi restaurant clerk be shot to death? And it was shot in the head with a sniper rifle.
"I asked the people nearby, and no one saw the victim's death." Qianye Kazunobu walked over, still holding a notebook in his hand. "The victim was killed no more than fifteen minutes ago, and during that time, no one in the area saw any suspicious people."
Takagi Wataru thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't Mr. Maori at home? This place is not far from the detective agency. If something unexpected happens, he should come here immediately."
Chiba Kazunobu shook his head: "I just checked, the door of the detective agency is locked."
Takagi Wataru was not the only one who wanted to seek help off the court, but unfortunately, his best friend was not at home.
"I heard that Mr. Maori took Xiaolan and Conan out last night. I guess they went on a trip somewhere."
Gao Mushi could only sigh and said, "Forget it, let's take the body back first."
The police brought the body back to the Metropolitan Police Department. As soon as Takagi Wataru returned, he asked, "Is Officer Megure not back yet?"
My colleague said, "No. The situation at the Mihua Municipal Building is not over yet." It seems that the Dongye Group is addicted to using the police, and this time it still borrowed the police's force to protect the safety of the scene.
"But Manager Kuroda is here. You can consult him if you have any questions."
Takagi Shigeru waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it." He was still a little timid about reporting to his boss's boss alone.
However, even if Takagi Shigeru did not go to find Kuroda Heibei, Kuroda Heibei still knew the identity of the deceased.
It was Toru Amuro who informed him.
The moment he saw the news, he was in a trance. Rum, whom he had been tracking for so many years, was dead just like that?
Kuroda felt something was unreal, especially since the corpse was wearing a chef's uniform, completely different from the Rum he had imagined.
However, Toru Amuro would not joke about such things.
Kuroda Heibei walked around the room where the body was placed and then left, leaving only one person to guard it, and the security was not strict.
Amuro Toru said that the organization would definitely find a way to get rid of Rum's body. Besides, since he was already dead, there was no point in keeping him. It would be better to let him go and let the organization find a way to get the body out. By the way, they could also hook a few undercover agents inside the Metropolitan Police Department.
Kuroda Bei thought this was a good suggestion.
Afterwards, Takagi Shigeru and Chiba Kazunobu were told that the police were about to take over the case and asked them to hand over all the bodies and evidence.
Chiba Kazunobu was so angry that he started cursing in the office. Even the good guy Takagi Shigeru felt that the public security officers were a bit dishonest.
However, before the handover, they suddenly learned that the body and evidence had disappeared.
Takagi Shigeru and Chiba Kazunobu looked at each other, and the color drained from their faces instantly.
It's over.
The light in their eyes had gone, and they felt as if their souls had left their bodies. They were already thinking about how to write their resignation letters.
Fortunately, Officer Kuroda caught the body theft and shut down the case. He solemnly addressed Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu, saying, "Listen carefully, there was no body theft today. It was the deceased's family who refused to perform an autopsy or cooperate with the investigation and abruptly took the body."
The two realized that this matter was not simple and not something they could get involved in, so they nodded and said that they would keep their mouths shut and forget about the case as soon as they left.
Why did the Black Organization insist on retrieving Rum's body, even resorting to using pawns buried in the Metropolitan Police Department? It's because Rum possessed a wealth of advanced technology. His left eye, for example, was a technological invention.
Another point is that he is now the second in command of the organization, and it would be really embarrassing to tell others that the body fell into the hands of the police.
\\
After Kayao left, he did not return to Rum's base, but went directly to the BOSS's mountain villa and reported Rum's assassination as soon as possible.
Then he was locked up.
As Rum's personal bodyguard, his duty was to protect Rum. Now that he was dead, he was derelict in his duty no matter what he said.
However, he was only locked in the small dark room for a few hours before being taken out.
At this time, Gin also drove to the foot of the mountain.
Gin had gone to the mountain villa alone before, but this time he didn't climb the mountain alone. He brought bourbon and a laptop with him.
Amuro Toru cradled his laptop, glancing around with his peripheral vision. Gin had given him an eyepatch when they arrived, and hadn't told him where he was going. He had no idea where he was, so he could only memorize his surroundings and deduce them later.
At this time, Gin reminded: "Don't talk nonsense after you go up."
His words made Amuro Toru's heart tighten, and he quickly asked, "Are you taking me to see someone important?"
Gin glanced at him and sneered, "Be thankful. You're the first one to meet the boss after only five years."
Amuro Toru's breathing suddenly stopped.
What did Gin say? Who were they going to meet?! Was he really going to meet the organization's boss?!
Toru Amuro was so frightened that his pupils trembled. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms, trying to use the pain to regain his sanity, but Gin still noticed his emotional fluctuations.
Gin didn't doubt it, but said, "I've seen you fake smiles many times, but it's rare to see you look surprised like this." But he also understood, after all, the person they were going to meet was not an ordinary person.
Amuro Toru took a deep breath and followed Gin's words, "I'm just too excited. I didn't expect you to be willing to bring me to see the BOSS. This is a scene I could never have dreamed of." In his dreams, Gin only appeared to hunt him down, so there was no such thing as taking him to the top.
"You think I want to?" Gin wasn't too happy about bringing Bourbon along. He felt Bourbon had only been with the team too long and was still a risk. But now that Rum had suddenly died, and he was implicated, Bourbon, as Rum's former subordinate, had gone up to testify for him.
The organization held an emergency meeting because of Rum's death. All senior officials, regardless of which country they were in, entered the video conference room.
As soon as Gin stepped into the meeting room, he heard someone scolding him: "I'm sure it was Gin who did this! He's a mad dog!"
He snorted coldly, "Hmph, then show me the evidence!" He glanced at the other person in the room and said, "Besides, isn't Rum's death the responsibility of his men?"
Amuro Toru followed Gin in, surveying the room discreetly. Three walls of the room were covered in screens, all projected with cameras. Standing in the middle felt quite oppressive. The screens on either side were fragmented into smaller sections, each of the people in the videos wearing a variety of masks. The center screen, however, contained a single camera, its image so dark that only the outlines of human figures could be vaguely discerned.
Is this the boss of the organization?
Amuro Toru withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to stare at his toes.
The other person in the room was Kayo. Hearing Gin's attempt to shift the blame, he said expressionlessly, "I do have a responsibility. But I was also following orders."
"What Kayao said is not wrong..." said a senior executive. "It's also Rum's own fault. Why did he think of disguising himself as a cook? And he even transferred away the people who were protecting him."
Gin scoffed. Why else? It's just because he's so arrogant!
"Then why did he transfer all the people away?" someone asked puzzledly.
Kayao explained, "We were sent out on a mission."
The higher-ups were silent for a moment. Someone tentatively asked, "Is the organization so short of manpower right now?" Even their own guards were sent out on missions?
Kayao glanced at Gin and said, "The organization is not short of people. It's just that Gin transferred a group of people from the intelligence team before."
The top executives once again turned their attention to Gin.
Gin said calmly, "The ones I transferred were all ordinary members. The only one who was considered capable was Bourbon." He turned to look at Bourbon, "He has made a contribution this time."
Amuro Toru stepped forward, holding the laptop in both hands, and said, "The new technology of the Dongye Group is in this computer."
"Heh~" someone chuckled. "Your credit? I heard this was snatched from Rum's crew."
Amuro Toru smiled slightly, looked up at the camera, and said, "You can't deny me a chance to explain just because you're on good terms with Rum's men, right? The entire building had a power outage, and the corridors were pitch dark. I simply helped my colleague take his computer when he was discovered by the guards, and then I dodged a sniper ambush and successfully brought the computer here. That doesn't count as stealing my credit, right?"
Gin controlled the corners of his mouth that wanted to turn up, and they could only pull down, making his expression even more frightening.
The man was speechless after being rebuked, and another person followed up: "What do you mean by stealing the credit? The two sides just didn't communicate well."
"That's Gin's fault. How could he act on his own? He has to report to Rum even when he's on a mission!"
"What bullshit are you talking about? Gin already has the right to act. If he has to report everything to Rum, wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
Amuro Toru watched helplessly as a group of people started arguing over gin. However, the person involved looked calm and composed, not worried at all about being questioned.
Sure enough, at the end of the argument, the issue of "whether Gin acted on his own and whether he should have reported it in advance" came to nothing.
Then, a group of people started the next topic, "Who is to blame for Rum's death?"
Some blamed Kayao for not doing his job as a guard. Some blamed Gin, saying that if he hadn't transferred the people from Rum's staff, Rum wouldn't have sent the guards out. Some even said Rum was asking for trouble. If he needed people, wouldn't he have gone to someone else? Why did he have to hold on so tightly?
After a while of arguing, someone said, "I think the assassin must have been an insider." He showed a bullet to the camera and said, "This is the munitions the organization purchased in bulk some time ago. It's for the new sniper rifles, and it has special markings on it. As far as I know, this is the bullet that fell at the scene of Rum's death."
His words put Gin on the fire again.
"Then it must have been Gin's doing. He always gets new weapons."
Gin retorted, "There are plenty of people in the organization who can hold weapons. All they have to do is apply."
Amuro Toru chimed in, "Maybe we can check the application list to see who has got this sniper rifle."
At this moment, Ka Yao on the side suddenly remembered something.
He might, perhaps... have had a magazine of ammunition stolen from him?
No, no, no, even if he took the bullet, that guy wouldn't be able to kill Rum with one shot, right?
Kayao remained expressionless and decided to keep the matter to himself.
Anyway, the weapon was provided to him by Rum, not something he applied for, so there is no record of it.
