He continued, "Isn't there still one assistant that Kitaoka Ryoko hasn't found? Let's start with that guy, Iwai Nosuke!"
"General, there's still no news about Iwai no Suke. I'm afraid we'll never find him again!"
"Why?"
"This person has always been with Kitaoka Ryoko. Kitaoka Ryoko was arrested, so how could Iwai Nosuke escape?
More importantly, this safe house was set up in a very well hidden place, known only to Kitaoka Ryoko's subordinates. Calculated from the time Kitaoka Ryoko left the Mulan Academy to the time of the shooting, the interval was very short. After Kitaoka Ryoko was arrested, she was immediately sent to the safe house. The operation was very smooth, and there was no time for interrogation or torture in between. In other words, the murderer knew the location of the safe house beforehand. Could there be a mole among Kitaoka Ryoko's subordinates?
Furthermore, we discovered that after searching the entire safe house, there was no trace of blood anywhere else. This means that the living room was the primary scene of their shooting. Apart from Kitaoka Ryoko, the other three agents were subdued and then killed in the living room, and at close range. I estimate that they were already incapacitated when they were killed.
These individuals were all trained special agents; at the very least, they should have been able to retaliate. However, apart from the four bullets, no other bullets or gun holes were found at the scene. This means they didn't even have a chance to draw their weapons. This is no easy feat, and it's highly likely that their attackers were someone they knew, and they were subdued completely unprepared.
"You mean Iwai nosuke is the mole?" Kagesa Hiroki's gaze sharpened.
"It's very possible, but we need to find Iwai nosuke to confirm it. However, I estimate that the chances of him reappearing are slim. He was either killed along with Kitaoka Ryoko when she was attacked, or he was the murderer who killed Kitaoka Ryoko and the other three agents. He hasn't shown up for so long, so he may have already escaped. As for his motive?"
At this point, Haruki Masayoshi glanced at Kagesa Hiroki and continued, "Two hundred thousand yen is a huge sum of money that is impossible to refuse!"
The problem then returned to the Fujiwara Company. After hearing Haruki Masayoshi's words, Kagesa Hiroki paced back and forth in the room several times, pondering for a long time before finally speaking: "Everyone who knew the truth is dead. Only Hirayama Jiro and Iwai Nosuke are missing. We can't involve Fujiwara Tomohito, so it's difficult to continue the investigation now. But we took over the case from the Special Higher Police, so we can't just keep dragging it on like this. We need an explanation."
Qingqing Zhengliang suggested, "Why don't we just pin it on Chinese agents? We can't find anyone to confront them anyway."
Kagesa Hiroki waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not appropriate. There are too many loopholes and flaws in handling it that way. Kitaoka Ryoko is Tsuchihara Keiji's favorite student. He will definitely investigate in detail when he comes back. If he finds out that we are deliberately covering it up, he might even think that we did it. If we push this old guy too far, none of us will be able to back down!"
“Then let’s try another method!” Haruki Masayoshi thought for a moment, stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Let’s wait a few days. If Iwai nosuke still doesn’t show up, then we’ll settle the case by saying that Hirayama Jiro shot Kitaoka Ryoko and the others and then escaped.”
After all, everyone except Hirayama Jiro was missing at the scene. We also have a witness, Yabe Jinkazu, who can testify that Kitaoka Ryoko sheltered Hirayama Jiro. The fact that she helped the fugitive who attempted to assassinate Fujiwara Tomohito evade capture and provided him with refuge is problematic in itself. When Tsuchihara returns, let him explain to Fujiwara Tomohito.”
"Great!" Kagesa Yuki clapped his hands and cheered. He also thought this solution was very good. It went with the flow and easily threw the conflict to Tsuchihara Keiji. He could then push things along and profit from it. There was a lot of room for maneuver.
Kagesa Hiroki then instructed, "Make sure to take good care of Yabe Jinkazu. He is the witness who proves that Kitaoka Ryoko took in Hirayama Jiro. Don't let him have any contact with anyone. There are still many of Tsuchihara's old North China subordinates in the organization. Don't let any complications arise."
"Hi!"
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Tsuchihara Agency, for their own benefit and after weighing the pros and cons, decided to cover up the truth about this shooting, and the turmoil temporarily subsided.
