After the assassination of Tanaka Hiroshi, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department, Yasuji Okamura, the president of the Nippon Province Bank, followed by Tomomi Inada, the Minister of Defense, and Fukuda Fukuda, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The higher-ups of Nippon Province were terrified and worried. They were all wondering who would be next. Would it be them?
The media in Nippon Province continued to spread the news and paid close attention to the series of assassinations. The name 'Thousand-faced Killer', Xiao Han, dominated the headlines of all major media outlets and caused a huge commotion throughout Nippon Province.
"Idiot, is the government all sh * t eaters? They can't even catch a killer!"
"So many important government officials were assassinated without any hesitation. This is so embarrassing."
"I vaguely smell the scent of a conspiracy. The target of the murderer seems to have a certain connection. Is it related to the recent cases of missing Chinese people that have been spreading like wildfire recently?"
"Let's catch the killer quickly. We'll use the most severe torture method in Hua history to kill him."
"If the police can't do it, we'll use the Self-Defense Forces. With the cooperation of the military and police, we'll definitely catch that damned Hua Xiao Han."
"We can't let him escape. Let's catch him and torture him!"
The citizens of Nippon Province left comments like crazy on the Internet. There was no doubt that Xiao Luo, no, Xiao Han, had become the public enemy of Nippon Province. Many people wanted to kill him.
[Nippon Province Cabinet Office]
The Chief Cabinet Secretary, the Minister of General Affairs, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, the Minister of Land and Transportation, the Minister of Economy, Industry, and Fisheries … More than a dozen cabinet members sat at the table in the conference room. They were all dressed appropriately and looked serious. They sat upright in their chairs and did not move at all, like statues.
When a man with a face full of fat and glossy hair appeared, everyone stood up in unison and bowed to show their respect.
The man was none other than the Prime Minister of Nippon Province, Anbei Shinzo!
BAM!
Anbei slammed the folder in his hand onto the conference table and glared at Kuroda Kiyotaka, who was sitting in the vice-chair. He was a bearded man.
"Kuroda Kiyotaka, do you know your crime?" Anbei's voice was like a roar.
The cabinet ministers were full of doubts. They thought to themselves, "Isn't everyone here to discuss how to deal with Xiao Han, who knows how to disguise himself and is known as the Thousand-Faced Killer?" Why was the prime minister targeting Kuroda Kiyotaka the moment he arrived?
"May I ask Mr. Anpei, what crime have I committed?" Kuroda Kiyotaka took off his round spectacles and wiped them clean with a cloth.
"Idiot, you still don't intend to confess? Fine, I'll let you die with a clear understanding."
Anpei pointed at his nose and announced loudly to the crowd, "You signed a private agreement with the officials of Nippon Province to build a biochemical research base in the depths of the Sacred Mountain in Nippon Province. The experimental subjects will be specially selected from the Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese in Nippon Province. They will be subjected to a series of brutal biochemical experiments, turning people into monsters that are neither human nor ghost. This is your crime!"
Nani?
Biochemical research base?
Could it be that the incident at the Sacred Mountain a few days ago was related to the Biochemical research base?
The cabinet ministers were stunned. They all looked at Kuroda Kiyotaka, demanding a reasonable explanation.
Kuroda Kiyotaka smiled and said, "Mr. Anpei, I admire your imagination, but what evidence do you have to prove that I built a biochemical research base? You don't have any evidence. You are framing and slandering me."
"You want evidence, right? Fine, I'll give it to you! "
Anpei was full of confidence. He shouted, "Captain Ueto Shirakawa of the Second Division, come in!"
BAM!
The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and a soldier in military uniform strode in with a straight posture and an aura of vigor exuding from his body.
He saluted all the cabinet ministers and then introduced himself loudly, "Greetings, gentlemen. I am the captain of the Second Division of the Self-Defense Forces. My name is Ueto Shirakawa."
After this person entered, the expression on Kuroda Kiyotaka's face froze. The calmness and composure disappeared.
"Ueto Shirakawa, tell us what Kuroda Kiyotaka asked you to do!" Anpei said.
"Yes!"
Ueto Shirakawa nodded and said, "On the morning of the 16th, I was ordered by Mr. Kuroda Kiyotaka to lead my elite soldiers to the Sacred Mountain. We blew up the biochemical research base deep in the Sacred Mountain and buried it under the soil. We did not leave any evidence behind."
"Are you sure it was Kuroda Kiyotaka who gave you the order?" Anpei asked with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, I have a recording here. It's the record of my conversation with Mr. Kuroda Kiyotaka." Ueto Shirakawa took out a recording pen from his pocket and handed it to Anpei with both hands.
Anpei took it and pressed the play button. In the quiet meeting room, the recording was played clearly. There were two voices. One was Kuroda Kiyotaka, and the other was Ueto Shirakawa. The content of the recording connected the two closely.
"Mr. Kuroda Kiyotaka also specifically told me to announce that this was a secret military operation to prevent the public from suspecting …"
BAM!
Before Ueto Shirakawa could finish, Kuroda Kiyotaka put on his glasses and slammed the table as he stood up. He glared at him and yelled, "Idiot, Ueto Shirakawa, how dare you betray me?!"
"I am only loyal to the prime minister and to the country!" Ueto Shirakawa said calmly.
"Loyal to the prime minister and to the country? Aren't you just Anpei's dog? Blame me for being blind. I didn't see through your disguise and even treated you as my trusted aide. Ueto Shirakawa, you will die a horrible death! "Kuroda Kiyotaka lost control of his emotions as the veins on his forehead popped out.
"I don't know if I will die a horrible death, but I do know that Mr. Kuroda will die before I do!" Ueto Shirakawa said with a fake smile.
"You …"
Kuroda Kiyotaka was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He was out of breath.
"Men!" Anpei called out.
BAM!
The door of the meeting room was opened again, and two big men in black walked in with neat steps.
"Take Kuroda Kiyotaka away. We will arrange for him to be tried at the Tokyo Supreme Court."
"Yes!"
The two men walked up to Kuroda Kiyotaka, grabbed him, and took him out of the meeting room. They didn't care about Kuroda Kiyotaka's screams.
After Kuroda Kiyotaka was taken away, all the cabinet ministers in the room sat up straight. They knew that Anpei was using this opportunity to get rid of his dissidents. He didn't usually show his power, but this time, he was going to kill him.
"There were a total of ten people involved in the biochemical research facility, including Kuroda Kiyotaka. Now, six of them are dead, and there are four left. Other than Kuroda Kiyotaka, the identities of the other three have been confirmed. They are the governor of Dongjing, Koizumi Junichiro, the richest man in Nippon Province, Takahara Kei, and the Minister of Land and Transportation, Oi Ichiro."
After Anpei read out the names on the list loudly, his gaze fell on the Minister of Land and Transportation, Oi Ichiro, who was in the meeting.
Oi Ichiro trembled, and he broke out in cold sweat. "Mr. Anpei, I … I …"
"You don't have to say anything. I know. You must have been bewitched by Kuroda Kiyotaka, right?" Anpei raised his hand and said.
