Those who attended the banquet were all rich and powerful people. No matter how much the police wanted to keep the incident under wraps, it still spread.
After Okamoto, the godfather of the business world, died tragically at home, the head of the Sumitomo Consortium was struck by lightning and died suddenly at his own banquet.
According to the reports of witnesses at the scene, the other party was even more brazen this time, and the video was subsequently exposed.
With the exposure of this video, the Freemasonry was fully reflected in the eyes of the public. However, no one knew what kind of organization it was.
However, with the exposure of this video, the Freemasonry organization also surfaced.
It was obvious that the other party had said that they were targeting the Freemasonry. This was a direct confrontation between the two organizations.
The Japanese Freemasonry members put pressure on the Japanese police.
The new police chief smiled bitterly as he looked at the former chief, who was under surveillance to cooperate with the case.
That was because he could now understand the pain of his predecessor. His subordinates had found nothing about the security check, and there were only a few clues.
One of them was that the fingerprints left on Okamoto's body were similar to the fingerprints left behind by Shan Lingkubo in the hotel. They were both fingerprints belonging to a cat!
Yes, this was another supernatural incident. According to Nihon, a country that believed in ghost stories, they believed in supernatural incidents. Back then, when Shan Lingkubo died in the hotel, the photo of him kneeling down devoutly with his bones all twisted was never found, so it could only be treated as a supernatural incident and left unsettled.
Unexpectedly, the fingerprints and cruel means had appeared again!
This time, the name of the Freemasonry organization came out.
The corpse report of the head of the Sumitomo family came out. He was struck by a high-voltage electric current and died suddenly. The professional police had gone to the scene to simulate it. Although it was an open-air banquet, there was no thunderstorm, so there was no lightning.
Moreover, according to the electrical equipment of the hotel at the time, there could not have been high-voltage electric conduction. However, the autopsy confirmed that he died of high-voltage electricity.
This way of death was simply unimaginable.
Some people suddenly felt that this was clearly not man-made, but a punishment from heaven!
For a time, the people questioned what the dead Okamoto and the head of the Sumitomo family had done to make Heaven punish them in anger.
Some people were suddenly curious about what kind of existence the Freemasonry was, and why did they provoke such revenge?
The police department found the descendants of Okamoto and the descendants of the Sumitomo family to investigate.
The people on both sides slammed the table and cursed, "Bullsh * t, this is clearly man-made."
The police officer waved his hand. "Alright, don't get agitated. Since it's man-made, let's sort out the cause and effect of the matter. Even if it's man-made, it's still a revenge plan. Let me ask, what kind of organization is the Freemasons? Your father is obviously related to this organization, that's why he was targeted. Please explain. "
The people on both sides were speechless.
This could not be exposed.
The police officer was put in a difficult position. "At the very least, we have to clear up this grudge, right? If you don't cooperate, it's hard for us to believe who will be the next one to suffer and be killed. That video already said that they will be taking revenge on the meritorious members. Can you please give us a list of names? Otherwise, we won't be able to protect you properly and purposefully, and we, the police, will be in a passive position. "
Mitsui's second-generation eldest son snorted. "You guys aren't qualified to know about the Freemasonry."
The police chief was furious. He knew that if there was no progress in this case and more people died, then the entire Japanese image would be destroyed. When that happened, not to mention him, even the Prime Minister would resign!
The Prime Minister had already shed all pretenses of cordiality and was pressuring him. His team no longer planned to give these tycoons any face and let them do whatever they wanted. They had already been implicated, so how could they not be anxious?
"This is no longer your problem. Please cooperate with us. If more important people die, the reputation and public security of Nihon will be reduced to a historical low. This is a threat to the national interests! Tell us, who are the Freemasons in Japan? "
Mitsui's second-generation eldest son pondered and didn't say anything.
This was something that couldn't be said when joining the organization.
At this time, he could only change the topic. "Don't you want to catch the culprit? We have a way to lure the culprit out. Let's see how you can catch him. "
The police chief hurriedly asked, "What way?"
"The video already said that they will kill whoever wants to be the branch's Supreme. Very soon, the new Supreme will be appointed. When that time comes, they will make their move, and your chance will come."
The police chief asked, "Then who will be the new Supreme?"
Mitsui's second-generation eldest son shook his head. "We don't know yet, but this time, we will make a high-profile announcement. Prepare yourself when the time comes."
Just as he finished speaking, the lawyer behind him walked in from the corridor with a serious expression on his phone. "Mr. Mitsui Kazuo, we will inform you that you have been appointed as the new Supreme!"
Mitsui's second-generation eldest son's pupils dilated. He subconsciously shouted at his lawyer and assistant, "Tell them that if the Knighthood doesn't come, I won't do it!"
The police chief interrupted him. "You have to do it. Trust us!"
"Trust what!" Mitsui's second-generation eldest son shouted at the police chief, "You don't know anything! Can you protect me? Bullshit. "
The police chief's expression was also very angry. He said in a deep voice, "It's time to prove our ability! Mr. Kazuo, this time, we will do it flawlessly. "
Mitsui Kazuo didn't pay attention to him at all. He looked at the lawyer with a serious expression and confirmed, "Really? Do you think I can refuse? "
The lawyer thought for a moment and said, "At this juncture, for your safety, I think I can refuse. But for the future of the family, I can't refuse. The Association strongly hopes that someone will take responsibility and set an example. Now that many members are in shock, the headquarters needs someone to stand up. Their promise to us is to give the Nihon Nation five additional board members."
There were indeed people in the Swiss headquarters who were furious.
Old Rothschild slapped the table and said angrily, "This is a slap in our face! This is the first time someone has dared to do this. Is this person crazy? Two of the Supreme have died in a row. Most of the Nihon members have begun to waver in our hearts! I think this flame must be put to an end! "
Crophy, who represented the North American Supreme, said solemnly, "We can't afford any more deaths. Otherwise, the Nihon plutocrats will withdraw one after another. This will be very disadvantageous to our control of the Asian economy in the future. I suggest that we let the Knighthood go and protect the Supreme candidate this time. It's best if we can stifle the spirits of the foreign guests."
At this time, Old Rothschild said, "Let's choose Mitsui Okamoto's eldest son. At this time, he should want to avenge his father the most. We can choose him."
But they didn't expect that Mitsui Kazuo was also afraid at this time.
He didn't understand the foreign guests, but he had seen the strange way they killed people. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid.
Why? Because even the swordsman by his father's side couldn't protect his father. Who else could he protect?
