Chapter 624 - Be Ahead (2/2)
Miyazaki Ronjin exhaled and then continued, “A group of men in black uniforms took Wang Leyou’s corpse away. The perpetrators got the route and timing perfectly right. I find it hard to believe that they could do that unless they had an informant within the police force helping them.”
“You’re saying that Chief Hiroshi is their spy?” the person who spoke earlier asked.
“There is no evidence at all, and this is just my assumption. If, and I say if, Chief Hiroshi was one of those involved in this scheme, that would easily explain Xiao Han’s motive. He is planning to get rid of everyone involved in the bio-research facility and is seeking revenge for his Hua Nation people,” Miyazaki Ronjin said.
Suddenly, everyone stirred in shock and bewilderment, and there was a buzz in the meeting hall. What Miyazaki Ronjin had just said might have sounded bizarre, but yet it made absolute sense.
“Is that why you said earlier that this is just the beginning and not the end?” The old Chief looked at Miyazaki Ronjin with penetrating eyes.
Miyazaki Ronjin nodded his head and replied, “Yes. Xiao Han must have a name list of all the people involved in the project. It is a hunting operation. He’s treating the entire Dongjing like a jungle, and he’s the predator hunting down his prey!”
Treating Dongjing as a jungle? Hunting?
It terrified everyone in the room. Only someone crazy would have the nerve to do something like this.
“You have no evidence. All of this is just your speculation!” Asou Shuyao sneered.
“There will be evidence because the next victim is going to appear soon,” Miyazaki Ronjin said.
As if validating what Miyazaki Ronjin had just said, someone knocked on the meeting room door. After getting permission for entry, a police officer walked in looking pale with fright and handed a document to the old Chief.
The old Chief took a brief look at the document. With a solemn face and a look of wrath on his face, he said, “The president of the Ri nation bank, Mr. Okamura Neji, just died in his house. A fire burned down his mansion. According to forensics, he was conscious and had been burned alive. His corpse was badly burned and has turned to ashes. They are somehow fused to the floor, and our people are unable to scrape it off.”
At that moment, the entire meeting hall fell into a deathly silence. You could even hear a pin drop, and everyone could feel a chill in the air.
The news of the fire stunned Asou Shuyao. It was turning out to be precisely what Miyazaki Ronjin had said. She was feeling frustrated and slammed her hands on the table, “Fool!”
Then they showed the picture of the suspect that the security camera had captured on the screen.
“This isn’t Xiao Han. The facial features are not the same at all,” someone said.
“This is Xiao Han. No matter how he changes his appearance, he still has those pair of ferocious-looking eyes that resemble a wolf.”
Miyazaki Ronjin said this aloud, and he felt genuinely troubled. He had thought that Xiao Han could be a good friend, but now they stood on opposite sides. Xiao Han had turned into someone that he had to arrest, no matter what. He saluted the old Chief and said, “Old Chief, it most probably wasn’t the Prime Minister’s intention to develop this sort of genetic engineering test facility, but I’m sure it involves certain Cabinet Ministers. If we’re going to stop this killing spree, we must get our hands on that list of names. We need to get to the people involved with the project before Xiao Han finds them. Otherwise, he’s going to execute every single man on that list.”
The old Chief nodded his head and said, “I’ll head to the Cabinet Office and meet the Prime Minister this afternoon!”
