Chapter 623 - There Are Seven More (2/2)

“Glug, glug, glug…”

In a matter of minutes, Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+ could feel his stomach bloating up. It was extremely uncomfortable, but hard as he struggled, his effort was futile. He could not stop the water from going down his throat. Water continued to fill his stomach, and a quant.i.ty even went down his trachea, causing him to choke. Then, after a couple of violent coughs, water streamed out of his nose. The amount of pain he was suffering was unimaginable.

Petrified and panic-stricken, his body quivered uncontrollably.

Xiao Luo looked at him coldly, resembling the Grim Reaper eyeing the soul he was about to harvest.

“Glug, glug, glug…”

Half of the water from the barrel had already filled Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+’s stomach, and it bloated up so much that he looked like he was pregnant. Then, after Xiao Luo removed the barrel, water from his stomach spurted out of his mouth and nose. His mind was losing consciousness, and he was on the edge of death.

Xiao Luo picked up a pen from the office table and held it between his palms, transferring his internal energy to create a ring of spikes around the pen. Then he aimed it at Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+’s neck and sent it piercing through his throat.

“Urghh!”

Xiao Luo had turned an ordinary pen into a fatal weapon. Blood gushed out from the throat, and Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+ gave a dull groan. His neck had bent into a crooked position, and he died on the spot.

Xiao Luo took out the name list, and he used the same pen that killed Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+ to cross out his name. Then he muttered, “Seven more!”

Having accomplished what he came here to do, he turned around and prepared to leave. Putting on his hat, he covered his face, opened the door, and left.

…

Half an hour after Xiao Luo departed, a police officer entered Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+’s office to report some information and discovered his body.

The news was all over the media—the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, murdered in his own office. It caused an uproar in the Ri nation. The political, academic, and business circles were in turmoil. Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+ was not just the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, but also the Deputy Minister of Ri nation. He was one of the most important officials in the country. Who would’ve believed that someone had a.s.sa.s.sinated him in his office so easily?

After Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+’s death, the former Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department was recalled and temporarily took charge.

According to Asou Shuyao’s report, the suspect in Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+’s murder was a man who was delivering barrels of water. The security cameras in the Metropolitan Police Department captured a clear image of his face. After studying the picture, Asou Shuyao, Miyazaki Ronjin, and a team of officers thought that this man seemed so familiar, but they couldn’t put their finger on it. Unconsciously, Xiao Luo’s image appeared in all their minds.

“It’s that Xiao Han! It must be the wanted man, Xiao Han!” Asou Shuyao shouted and stood up confidently.

As soon as she said that, everyone in the meeting hall was surprised by her outburst. Xiao Han? How could that be possible? That delivery man might have looked a little like Xiao Han, but from his facial features, they could not ascertain if it was Xiao Han.

The old Chief was an elderly man with a head of grey hair. He was still robust and spirited, and he did not refute Asou Shuyao’s opinion right away. Instead, he waited for the laboratory a.n.a.lysis to determine the result of the fingerprints found at the scene.

The results came back quickly, and it showed that the fingerprints left behind in Tanaka Hiros.h.i.+’s office were the same as those of the Hua Nation man, Xiao Han. It confirmed that the delivery man and Xiao Luo was the same person.

As soon as the truth was known, every single police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department gasped and wondered what type of disguise technique Xiao Luo had used. Was it some unknown magical martial arts technique that still existed in this world? If that was the case, how were they going to catch this criminal? If Xiao Han could change his face any day, then even if he stood right in front of them, there was no way they could tell that it was him.

The very thought of that possibility made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
