Chapter 68 Malicious Intent
Chapter 68 Malicious Intent
Suruga Daichi was furious. He pulled out his gun and pressed it against the car window, his murderous intent to kill him bursting forth, impossible to hide.
However, the next second, his murderous intent turned into shock and anger, because he saw a person being dragged out of the container. The person was covered in blood and on the verge of death, and he could imagine how cruelly he had been tortured.
Sensing the change in Suruga Daichi's emotions, the person in the car laughed and said, "Do you know him?"
Suruga Daichi said expressionlessly, "I don't know him."
Kamio Chowa chuckled, "You must have a bad memory. He's the spy you planted next to me."
"I don't know what you're talking about," said Suruga Daichi.
"Heh." Kamio Chou said, "Suruga Group Leader, you betrayed the Yamaei-kai long ago. When I was cursing that old devil Yamaei, you got angry and pulled out a gun to point at me. Do you really think you're still a loyal dog? Don't make me laugh. Whether you want to admit it or not, you're now a member of Aotetsu. We share the same fate. Don't try to pull any more of these pointless tricks."
"..." Suruga Daichi's anger had subsided, leaving only utter exhaustion. He said, "You bitch, why did you let Hino Harufumi get away?"
"Are you kidding me?" Kamio Chou said, "I'm the one who sent you to kill him, and after all this trouble, I'm supposed to let him get away?"
Suruga Daichi said, "That dog beside you is a professional assassin. Rumor has it that he can kill whoever he wants. Why did he fail yesterday? Do you know that he may have already discovered our secret?"
"Because the people who saved him were also very professional," Kamio Chou said calmly. "There's no point in arguing about responsibility now; we should figure out how to clean up the mess."
"And what can you do?"
"Investigate, investigate who sold information to Hino Harufumi. In fact, I've already found out that Hino Harufumi didn't actually possess much important information."
Suruga Daichi frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Then why did the young master call him back and spread the word?"
"Because he needs Hino Harufumi to take the blame. In order to appease the lady's attitude, it's a very worthwhile deal to kill a former henchman who may or may not have been bribed by you by now." Kamio Chou said, "As far as I know, Hino Harufumi's focus of investigation during this period has been on the Mishima Group. He may have found out some things about Yamaei Kaito, which has intensified Yamaei Kaito's suspicion of him."
It was only a matter of time before they killed him to silence him.
"Are you really that optimistic?" Suruga Daichi couldn't help but ask.
"That suspicious old dog..." Kamio Chou cursed inwardly. Through the car window, her face darkened, but her voice still maintained its charming and seductive laughter: "What are you afraid of? The people who participated in the ambush tonight have been dealt with. The only ones who can be traced are from Qing Tie."
"Aotetsu has been causing trouble for the Yamaei-kai for quite some time now, and besides, Aotetsu has an old grudge against Hino Harufumi. Who would suspect you right away?"
Suruga Daichi remained suspicious, but lacking evidence, he could only let the matter drop and sighed.
He must have been completely bewitched to fall for this woman.
"More importantly, how's the investigation I asked you to do going?" Kamio Chou asked.
Suruga Daichi beckoned with his finger, and his subordinate, understanding immediately, brought over a stack of documents.
Suruga Daichi shoved the document against the car window, and the mysterious window rolled down a crack, just big enough for a pair of hands to reach out and take the document.
The slit was just enough for Suruga Daichi to catch a fleeting glimpse of the woman's captivating, slender phoenix eyes.
"The Metropolitan Police Department's investigation report details everything," Suruga Daichi said. "The police set up a cordon that day, but there were obvious signs that someone deliberately made a hole in it. We don't know who did it yet; the method was very subtle and may involve high-ranking officials in the police department."
Kamio Chowa asked, "With high-level cover... does Hino Harufumi have that kind of power?"
"It's hard to say. After all, he was once the young master's confidant, so it's not surprising that he has built up some connections."
Kamio Chowa remained noncommittal and continued, "The police cordoned off that area last night. Did they find anything?"
"It says so," Suruga Daichi said. "We didn't find anything strange, but we did find clothes in the trash can that looked like they belonged to that mysterious person."
Kamio Chowa fell silent for a moment, seemingly reviewing documents in the car. After a while, she stopped dwelling on the clothing issue and asked, "We found the Mori family's car at the scene?"
"There's no problem. There are witnesses. The Mori family's car arrived after the incident was over, and they were just passing by."
"Is it really just about passing by?" Kamio Chou asked. "Why is the report on this part so vague?"
"You know the Metropolitan Police Department has always been reluctant to offend the Mori family."
"Why would the Mori family be in a place like that so late at night? Haven't you ever thought about it?"
Suruga Daichi said sarcastically, "So what if there's a problem? The Kamio family is an old and powerful family, we're not afraid of them. If you want to go and meet the madam, go ahead, but don't drag me into it."
Kamio Chowa covered her mouth and giggled, "Why don't you Yamaei Association recognize the Mori family as the main family?"
Suruga Daichi's eyes twitched. He took a deep breath, not wanting to waste any more words, and said, "I've done what I could. I hope you can clean up the mess you made. Kill Hino Harufumi."
After saying that, Suruga Daichi turned and left.
If they continued talking, he was afraid he would lose control and shoot Kamio Chouha to death.
This woman is a complete madwoman who defies all reason!
……
Suruga Daichi left, and a slender figure emerged, his clear, flat voice sounding more ethereal and eerie than the sea breeze: "Miss."
Kamio Chowa said calmly, "You fought that person before, what did you think of it?"
If Kirihara Akira were here, she could easily tell from her physique that this was the assassin she had fought yesterday. She was indeed a woman, and a very young and beautiful one at that.
She stood by the car door, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Very strong. I am no match for them."
"Can you tell what style it is?"
The man thought for a moment and said, "It's very mixed and sophisticated; it might be from the military of some country."
"The military..." Kamio Chowa pondered for a moment, then said, "Is it possible that it's Kawasaki? Judging from the person's physique in your description, it matches Kawasaki's. Kawasaki also retired from a foreign military."
The person outside the car shook his head and said, "Kawasaki is stronger, and I don't think that person is as tall as he looks."
"A disguise?" Kamio Chou was puzzled. "Kawasaki's getting old, could it be that he's found a successor?"
The person outside the car said, "We've been keeping an eye on the Mori family; there haven't been any personnel changes."
"Speaking of which, there's absolutely no reason for Madam to protect Hino Harufumi. Even if she wanted to, there's no need to be so stingy... Could I be mistaken?"
Unwilling to give up, Kamio Chowa flipped through the documents and continued, "Has there really been no personnel change in the Mori family recently?"
The man paused for a moment, then made a joke in a flat tone: "No new bodyguards, but a new young master has arrived."
It really was just a joke, after all, who would care about an insignificant, frail orphan? This joke, however, made Kamio Chowa pause for a moment, and then she revealed a meaningful smile.
"Yes, a new young master has arrived. How could I have forgotten about him? Tell me, how has he even survived to this day?"
There is no answer to this question.
Kamio Chou smiled alluringly and said, "Aren't my two dear sisters having their birthdays soon? Help me prepare some gifts, we'll come and pay them a visit."
