Chapter 1351 - Officer Kwai’s Confusion (1/2)

Frank committed suicide in an apartment that belonged under a pseudonym, located in the suburbs of Yoto.

It was the neighbor across from him who called the police, and the cause was a large amount of water seeping through the door.

After the police received the call, they immediately dispatched a team to protect the scene.

After they pick-locked the door, the police that rushed inside even smelled the stench wafting from the bathroom.

When the police opened the door curtain of the bathroom, and they found a foreign male corpse with his wrist cut open in the bathtub. Based on the blade on the ground and his peaceful expression, the cause of death appeared to be suicide. Immediately afterwards, the forensic doctor conducted a blood test and confirmed that the deceased had not taken sleeping pills or other psychoactive drugs before his death. The whole case could be confirmed as a suicide.

After a comparison of the identities, the police identified the deceased, to be Frank, a diplomat in the UA Embassy. As for why he died here, no one could explain this reason.

However, the UA Embassy’s response to the death was rather mild. It accepted the investigation results of the police without any objection and took over the remains of the deceased.

On Saturday morning of the same week, all the staff of the embassy attended the funeral of this colleague. It didn’t take long before his coffin was covered with a national flag and was airlifted back to the UA to meet his relatives.

Shortly after, the Capitol held a press conference in response to the incident in Yokosuka.

“When we learned about this appalling news, we immediately asked the chief command of the Yokosuka Military Base to find out more about the situation.”

“The Department of Defense has issued relevant documents requiring the UA troops stationed in Nippon to cooperate with the CIB’s operations, but the documents specifically emphasize that the cooperation was limited to counter-terrorism.”

“Here, on behalf of the Capitol, I reiterate once again that this incident was the personal act of the Director of the CIB, and some intelligence personnel stationed in Nippon who may have been involved in this case are under investigation. At present, the President has suspended Director Henry from his duties and independent prosecutors have begun an investigation on the dereliction of duty. I believe that a reasonable and satisfactory answer will be given to the public soon…”

The CIB Director took the blame and stepped down. The demonstrations stopped in California, but the protests at the entrance of the Yokosuka military base continued.

Perhaps the Yokosuka Police was placed in the most difficult situation. It was stuck in between the people, the UA soldiers, and the government. They were also being verbally abused, which was something they shouldn’t bear. The Yoto Police urgently reinforced 2,000 police forces to Yokosuka, but it did little to calm the chaotic situation.

Not only Yokosuka, but almost all of Nippon’s civil rights organizations raised to support the protests in Yokosuka. At the same time, protests erupted across the country with slogans such as “Get out!” appearing at the gates of 88 military bases without exception.

There were not only the works of the Sumitomo Foundation but also the works of the Mitsubishi, Fuji, and other consortia.

It was evident who the winner of this confrontation was. Although the UA made a series of remedial measures, it was impossible to recover the mistakes made by its military in Nippon on the collection of T-virus data.

The strong intervention of Celestial Trade was inevitable. The Nippon government was destined to cancel the security treaty. Now there was the risk in picking a side, and it could also serve as a favor to Jiang Chen. As to whether Jiang Chen would really view this as a favor, only he would know.

…

Yoto, in the hotel Jiang Chen stayed at.

Jiang Chen was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room as he chatted with Foreign Minister Kishida.

“Jiang Chen, I think you went overboard this time…” His tone carried a hint of helplessness as Kishida smiled bitterly, “It’s only a few days before the opening ceremony, you couldn’t wait for the Olympics to end?”

“There was only one chance,” Jiang Chen smiled emotionlessly as put his one leg on his other knee, and said in a joking tone, “If the UA is willing to wait until the Olympics is over before sending the servers out of the country, I would have had no issues. ”

Kishida sighed helplessly after Jiang Chen’s explanation. He couldn’t say more on this topic and ended the topic abruptly. He changed into a slightly flattering tone and said respectfully.

“Congress is discussing an early termination of the security treaty. Mr. Prime Minister asked me to tell you the news. We will apply to join the Earth Defense Alliance at the end of this month. Congress has already agreed. I hope Jiang Chen will take care of the rest. ”

“My words will always count,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Thank you very much, then I won’t disturb you… By the way, are there some strange noises on your side?”
