Chapter 605 - : The Lead is Here (2/2)

“Da*n it. Now that he realizes that there’s so much to gain from this case, he’s suddenly so much more enthusiastic. He’s going to work harder than anyone else, knowing him. Huh!” Miyazaki Ronjin ranted. He spat at the floor to express how felt about Tanaka Hiroshi–his words and actions were rather shameless.

“That’s why he’s the Department Head, while you’re just the head inspector,” Xiao Luo quipped.

“What the hell do you know. I just don’t want to fight with him,” Miyazaki Ronjin retorted.

He stretched for his pack of cigarettes. Even this simple act of going for his cigarettes caused his entire body to experience an immense amount of pain.

Luckily for Kimura Akino’s sharp eyes and swift hands. He helped take the cigarette, put one between Miyazaki Ronjin’s lips, and lit it for him.

After a satisfying puff, the dopamine effect kicked in and Miyazaki Ronjin felt as elevated as an immortal. He could feel the pain in his body subside that very instant. He took a deep long and sighed,”Xiao-san, what did you do at Lotus Manor?” he asked.

“I did not do anything,” Xiao Luo replied.

“Don’t lie to me. If you did nothing, then Asou Shuyao would not have looked so distressed and left in such a hurry,” said Miyazaki Ronjin. He looked at Xiao Luo with his pair of sharp eyes, as if trying to see through him.

Xiao Luo laughed but said nothing else.A phone call interrupted the awkward atmosphere. It was an unknown number, but Xiao Luo picked it up, anyway.

“Hello,” Xiao Luo answered.

“Is this Xiao Han-kun? This is Suzuki Ikuo,” a respectful voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.

“Is something the matter?” Xiao Luo responded.

“We have a lead regarding the Black SUV,” Suzuki Ikuo said.

A lead?

That fast? Had he not just asked him to search for leads two hours ago? Since when was H Society so much more efficient than the police?

Xiao Luo had his doubts, but as long as there was a lead, he would not ignore it, even if it was a long shot. He did not know if the Lady Poison Fu Yiren was dead or alive. They might have already turned her into a genetically mutated human being, and the possibility of this was worrying Xiao Luo.

“Miyazaki-san, have a good rest. I’ve to go settle some things,” Xiao Luo said, then he turned to leave.

“Xiao-san, do you consider me a friend?” Miyazaki Ronjin had a hard time sitting up as he called out after Xiao Luo.

A friend?

The question surprised Xiao Luo. He turned his head around to look at Miyazaki Ronjin straight in the eye and said, “Yes.”

Miyazaki Ronjin might not have given him a favorable first impression, but Xiao Luo had by now changed his opinion of the man. Miyazaki Ronjin had acknowledged the history of the Sino-Japanese War, faced up to that period of history, and stood on his side during his altercation with Asou Shuyao. Putting everything else aside, this alone was enough for him to consider Miyazaki Ronjin as a friend.

“It is my honor, then. But I hope you don’t break any laws of Ri nation. Otherwise, no matter where you run or hide, I’ll find you and arrest you,” Miyazaki Ronjin said.

He had a conflicted look on his face and had a funny feeling that Xiao Luo had already committed an exceedingly severe crime.

“I’ve only killed those who deserved to die.”

Xiao Luo said and left without looking back. It was an interesting statement of fact.

Miyazaki Ronjin stared at the exit after Xiao Luo walked out and was speechless. He had this unsettling feeling that Xiao Luo was about to begin a reign of terror in Dongjing. It would be unimaginably bloody and horrifying.

“Miyazaki-san, what do you think Xiao Han-san’s body is made of? How is it possible for him not to be injured even after colliding with a car?” asked Kimura Akino, looking puzzled and confused.

Miyazaki Ronjin forced a smile and said, “Why don’t you go to the Hua Nation and learn some martial arts? Then, maybe you’ll be able to figure that out.”
