Chapter 605 - : The Lead is Here (1/2)
After leaving Lotus Manor, Xiao Luo furrowed his brows again. Although the Asou family might have nothing to do with the missing Hua Nation people, Xiao Luo did some terrible things at Lotus Manor tonight. He failed to control himself, and he expected these actions to cause him some trouble. After all, the Asou family had one of their own, Asou Shuyao, who was the Chief Inspector at the Metropolitan Police. Even if that was not so, the police or military might still hunt him down. The Asou family had a rather significant position and influence in the Ri nation.
“It’s still early.”
Xiao Luo sighed but did not regret the things he had done.
He took a taxi back to his residence, took a shower, and changed into fresh clothing. He then headed to the hospital to visit Miyazaki Ronjin. The injuries on Xiao Luo’s body had recovered by now, and there was not a scar on his body. The head of the Metropolitan Police Department, Tanaka Hiroshi, and the Chief Inspector Asou Shuyao, were already at the hospital when Xiao Luo arrived. Though it was rather late in the night, they did not take their break but rushed to the hospital when they heard about an urgent case. They presented themselves very professionally with such an attitude.
Kimura Akino felt relieved when he saw Xiao Luo walking in.
“Xiao Han-san can testify for us. We saw a biochemical human being. A layer of green-colored scales formed and covered Wang Leyou’s entire body! Not even bullets could penetrate through it. He did not die even when his body was pierced through. It was only when his head had been smashed that he finally collapsed,” Kimura Akino explained.
“Is that so, Xiao-san?” Tanaka Hiroshi asked Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo nodded his head and answered, “Yes.”
“You’re lying!” shouted Asou Shuyao.
She raised her eyebrows and mocked, “Biochemical human being? What do you mean you can’t kill him with bullets! Can’t you make up a better story? How can you say something as ridiculous as this and still keep such a straight face? Do you think everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department is a fool?” She turned to Tanaka Hiroshi and said, “Department Head, I am sure they are trying to hide something. I suggest we file a case against the three of them and investigate thoroughly.”
“File a case?” asked Tanaka Hiroshi.
He frowned and continued, “Tell me why you’re suggesting that.”
Asou Shuyao nodded stiffly and said, “Looking at the damage on the car and the headless corpse, I have sufficient evidence to suspect that it must have been a car accident. There is an eighty to ninety percent chance that their car ran over and killed the man.”
“I suggest that you check his identity and confirm that the body belongs to the Hua Nation man, Wang Leyou. Then you’ll know that we’re telling the truth,” Miyazaki Ronjin said. He was lying on the hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around his shoulder.
“Yes, yes. If you confirm the identity of the corpse, then it proves that what we have been telling you is the truth,” Kimura Akino pitched in.
His eyes were glinting as if he had finally spotted land after drifting in a vast ocean, and he added, “The color of his blood was green. It is not the same as an ordinary human being. Department Head, please trust everything we have told you.”
“Hmm.” Tanaka Hiroshi nodded his head a little and responded vaguely.
At that moment, Asou Shuyao’s phone started ringing. She walked to a corner as she answered the call. The look on her face changed as she listened to the person on the other end. After putting down the phone, she turned to Tanaka Hiroshi and said, “Department Head, something has happened to my family. I have to head back now to settle some matters.”
“Is everything alright? Okay, go then,” Tanaka Hiroshi said, gesturing with his hand.
Asou Shuyao immediately turned and left, but she stopped for a moment before she exited the hospital ward, and took a glance at Xiao Luo before she walked out. She glared at him like he was an enemy.
Xiao Luo remained calm, and he did not feel or look the least bit guilty at all.
Suddenly, a police officer ran in gasping and reported frantically. “Department Head, something happened… It’s not good. A mysterious group of people attacked our patrol car and took the headless corpse with them!”
What?
Everyone in the ward looked surprised. To have the audacity to attack a police car–what outlaws are these?
“Huh? Are there any casualties?” Tanaka Hiroshi asked.
The police officer had a devastated look on his face. “Yes, five of them were killed on the spot. More than a dozen of them are severely injured,” he said.
“Fools!”
Tanaka Hiroshi snarled. He turned his head around to look at Miyazaki Ronjin and said, “Ronjin-kun, rest well and leave this to me. I believe all the things that you guys have said. It seems like there is a group of outlaws conducting some secret experiment here in Ri nation. I intend to arrest all of them. Let’s go!”
When he said that, he emanated an awe-inspiring aura and strode out vigorously.
