Chapter 3476 3488 [The Enemy Has No Guns]
Recalling the peaceful time before the incident, Mao Lilan sighed and asked the two kidnappers: "Does the Miss 'Sonoko' you know object to today's murder?"
The hedgehog-haired man and the man with glasses exchanged glances and looked away at the same time.
Mao Lilan saw the problem more and more: "Privately, are you also hoping that 'Sonoko' can come forward to stop this, so you sent her a message and asked her to meet today?"
"Nonsense! We did this to avenge that person!" Hedgehog Head couldn't help but retort:
"And you mentioned Sonoko...among us, Sonoko was the one who was bullied the most by Narimori Kenzo! We killed Narimori Kenzo because we wanted to avenge her!"
Nearby, Officer Sato's ears twitched, recalling a news item: "Revenge for 'that person'? —Is the person you're talking about the secretary of Kenzo Narimori who committed suicide a few years ago?"
The two kidnappers' expressions changed slightly.
Mao Lilan imitated Jiang Xia and touched her chin: "I remember you sent a message to 'Yuanzi', which said -
"'If you can't come, go alone to burn incense on that person's death anniversary. Remember to place two sunflowers from the factory.'...
"Do you all go together to pay respect to that secretary every year at this time? Miss Sonoko isn't here because she's gone to burn incense. If we find her, will your partner who knocked me out stop this plan?"
Hedgehog Head turned his head away and said nothing.
Nearby, the bespectacled man visibly wavered. After a moment's hesitation, he sighed, "Sonoko could have stopped this plan, but now... I'm afraid it's too late."
He looked towards a TV in the corner.
The scene was chaotic, but it didn't spread to the corner. While everyone was acting out the robbers' standoff, the TV was quietly playing the Fire Cup Charity Tennis Tournament.
The police were busy rescuing the hostages, subduing the kidnappers, and extracting important information from the kidnappers. No one paid attention to what was playing on the TV.
But now, following the line of sight of the man with glasses and watching the final that had just ended on TV, a group of police officers looked at each other and suddenly had a bad premonition.
However, when asked again, the man with glasses kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything.
"Takagi!" Inspector Megure had no choice but to notify the tennis court, "Keep an eye on Councillor Narimori! - Based on my speculation, the kidnapper's only remaining accomplice is likely to take action at the tennis match!"
Officer Takagi: "..." Do you need to guess? Those two kidnappers would definitely not come to such a remote place to kidnap people for no reason. It was obvious that they came here with Councillor Cheng Zeng. They must want to make a fuss about the tennis match!
That being said, he couldn't embarrass his superior in person. Officer Takagi suppressed his inner grumbling and moved towards Councillor Narimori with a few colleagues.
But he had barely squeezed into the crowd for a meter when he was targeted by the bodyguards and reporters and was bounced out.
"Inspector..." Looking at the congressman walking away, Officer Takagi grabbed his phone that was almost squeezed off and complained, "We can't squeeze in!"
Inspector Megure sighed speechlessly, "That guy should be thankful that the people targeting him don't have guns, otherwise... Oh, forget it. I'll take the men back now. You keep the scene stable."
It can be seen that Councillor Cheng Zeng does not take the police's protection seriously and probably will not take the initiative to ask them to protect him.
In this case, the only way to achieve a miracle is to have more people - even if we don't squeeze the bodyguards, we can let the police push away the reporters, as there might be people with bad intentions hiding among them.
"According to my speculation, the murderer is most likely a fake reporter. His weapon might be hidden in the camera equipment. You must carefully identify it!"
After ordering Officer Takagi to pay close attention to the group of reporters, Inspector Megure ordered people to clean up the scene and led the remaining people to the tennis court.
…
At the same time, in the stadium.
After a difficult move, Councillor Cheng Zeng finally broke through the crowd of reporters and stood on the high podium.
Upon seeing this, Officer Takagi quickly raised his hand and rushed over with his colleagues to stop the reporters outside the safety line.
Councillor Cheng Zeng ignored the noise. He adjusted the microphone in front of him, put on a superior smile, and said to the audience:
"Everyone, thank you for waiting. What's about to begin is our final awards ceremony. I declare that the champion of this charity tennis tournament is Mr. Masato Tachikawa!"
He raised his hand and gestured towards the champion and runner-up standing at the podium: "In today's competition, Tachikawa Masato won the final championship with his outstanding performance!
"In addition to the championship trophy, we will also give him a beautiful souvenir."
After he finished speaking, the host beside him lowered his head and looked at the bronze-skinned contestant: "Mr. Tachikawa, please come on stage to receive your award."
The runner-up next to him looked at him with envy.
The champion who was about to receive the trophy slowly raised his head, his expression not showing any joy but full of solemnity.
The host was stunned and felt a little strange, but did not think too much about it: the contestants have different personalities, some don't like to laugh by nature, and some dare not laugh in order to establish their character... In short, it doesn't matter, the right thing to do is to quickly collect the award and get off work.
Thinking of this, he gestured to the champion again, reminding him to go on stage.
Masato Tachikawa took a deep breath, walked up the stairs, and approached Councillor Narimasu who was holding the trophy.
"Congratulations." Councillor Cheng Zeng handed him the trophy and then extended his hand and shook hands with him as per procedure.
He was about to withdraw his hand and make his final speech, but at this moment, his hand tightened - Tachikawa Masato held it tightly.
"Hiss!" Councillor Cheng Zeng felt something was wrong, but he didn't want to ruin the competition he had put so much effort into organizing, so he tried to put on a decent smile. "It seems our contestant is very excited!"
"I'm really excited." Tachikawa Masato also smiled, but his smile was creepy. He leaned close to Councillor Narimatsu, his face full of shadows as he whispered, "It's been a long time, Mr. Narimatsu."
Councillor Cheng Zeng's heart skipped a beat and he asked tentatively, "Have we... met before?"
"Of course I have, but I'm afraid you don't remember a small shrimp like me." Tachikawa Masato looked at him grimly. "Ten years ago, I was just a small worker working in your factory. I was helping Mr. Saeki at that time."
"Saeki?" Councillor Narimatsu's heart was even more shaky. Wasn't this the good secretary who had helped him run the factory, shouldered all the stigma for him, and then "committed suicide out of fear of punishment"? He was horrified, "Could it be that you..."
