Net King Whale Fall

Chapter 689 It’s all retribution
"Wait a minute," Maki Hase suddenly stood up and called out to Rei Sanada the moment the door opened, "Will I go to jail?"

“I am also a victim, and I have told you about the relevant matters. I am also a witness.”

Will I go to jail?

Maki Hase repeated it again.

Sanada Rin didn't even turn his head. "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."

He just said a few words and thinks he can clear his name and live a clean life? What a pipe dream! Did he even ask Ezaki Yuko for her opinion?

Maki Hase sat down in a daze, then laughed after a while. As she laughed, tears streamed down her face. "Karma, it's all karma."

Ezaki Hako was right back then; she will get her comeuppance.

Officer Matsuda didn't even blink. These crocodile tears weren't worth any sympathy; it was a foregone conclusion.

Maki Hase was once a victim, but in the end she chose to become an accomplice, personally participating in the disappearance of Hagumi Ezaki, which ultimately led to her death, and she could not escape imprisonment.

Outside the door, Ah Da had already contacted the bureau to investigate Xiao Ye Chu's information. They had his name, school, and age range, and they found him quickly from the database.

Genichiro Sanada followed silently behind them, his hands ceasing their note-taking at some point. Standing outside the interrogation room's glass for the first time, Maki Hase's voice clearly reached his ears, and Genichiro Sanada felt as if something had been overturned.

How could anyone, how could anyone kill their friend just to save their own life, and then say it in such a high-sounding way?

On that rainy night during the training camp that year, Genichiro Sanada had already witnessed the evil in human nature. That police officer killed his teammate and colluded with criminals in order to climb the ranks.

But back then, it felt more like listening to a case report, completely different from the psychological analysis of the perpetrator that we are facing now.

Genichiro Sanada couldn't help but look at Rei Sanada. She looked no different than usual. Maki Hase's words didn't move her. Could she completely process these negative emotions?
Genichiro Sanada silently withdrew his gaze. What he had learned in university had not made him more mature; he was still far inferior.

Soon, Ono Hajime's information came through, including her current address, which was far from the city center, in a notoriously chaotic area, a local slum.

Sanada Rin quickly skimmed through the text, memorizing everything about Ono Hatsumi from birth to the present, and also giving Sanada Genichiro a few reminders.

"When we arrive at our destination, brother."

Genichiro Sanada turned to meet Rei Sanada's eyes. "What?"

Sanada Rin stared intently, “Don’t trust anyone, don’t get close to anyone, and don’t accept anything from anyone.”

Genichiro Sanada was taken aback, not quite understanding, but he knew that at this moment, what he needed to do was to obey. "Okay."

"I promise."

Before getting off the train, Sanada Rin rummaged through the carriage and found a disposable mask for Sanada Genichiro. With the help of his hat, the mask barely concealed the policeman's aura. There was no way around it; the smell was too authentic. Sanada Genichiro was definitely not suitable to be an undercover agent.

Genichiro Sanada followed behind them, but he also looked around at his surroundings, becoming increasingly silent.

To be honest, he had never been to a place like this before. In all his life, the only time Sanada Genichiro had ever lived in such a difficult environment was during his school days when everyone trained together. The places he frequented were not places that ordinary people could go to.

Upon entering, Genichiro Sanada's first reaction was that the population density was too high. High-rise buildings blocked out the sun, and the houses were crammed together like pigeon coops. Stepping inside, he was greeted by the smell of rotting garbage, and murky liquid slowly flowed across the uneven pavement. Another indescribable odor permeated the air.

In the maze of passageways, a few people with blond and green hair stood in twos and threes, dressed in tattered clothes, smoking cigarettes and looking like hooligans. It was obvious at a glance that they were not respectable people.

There were even some women standing in the stairwell, a thin cigarette between their fingers. Their faces were not clearly visible through the smoke, but an air of decadence and depravity emanated from them.

Sanada Rin's appearance here was extremely eye-catching, even more so than Sanada Genichiro, even though she was wearing a mask that covered most of her face.

Even Ah Da's size couldn't stop their suicidal advance.

"Hey, little beauty, what brings you here? Need any help from your big brother? Hahahaha..."

As they talked, the group of thugs who had gathered there burst into laughter, their lewd eyes so intense they could blind anyone.

Sanada Rei coldly said, "Get out!"

"Wow, she's got a fiery temper, quite the character, I love her, hehe..."

Even faster than Genichiro Sanada was Ada, who grabbed the leader by the neck, pressed his thumb against his Adam's apple, manually muted the microphone, and forced the filthy words back down his throat, saying, "I told you to get lost, did you hear me?"

The blond-haired boy was being choked by Ah Da until he couldn't breathe, his feet almost leaving the ground. "Help...help..."

One person alone is not enough to make an example of someone. Ah Da knows better than anyone how to stand firm in this environment.

These petty thugs blocking their way were a good opportunity to use them; they were all regulars at the police station, so they wouldn't mind damaging them.

Even in a real fight, they might not be a match for Ah Da, let alone these thugs who are like plucked chickens, one punch after another, without even a follow-up punch.

With A-Da leading the charge, Sanada Genichiro stood closely behind Sanada Rin, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. Even though he knew Sanada Rin was quite skilled, Sanada Genichiro dared not let his guard down.

Ah Da's ruthlessness truly subdued these thugs, allowing them to proceed unimpeded further in.

But Genichiro Sanada also witnessed another kind of danger: the ladies in the hallway were shoving business cards at him without explanation.

"Little brother, come over and play sometime. Your big sister will be waiting for you at home."

"Don't hide, I won't eat you, come and play."

They finally got into the elevator, but there were only the four of them. Shinichi Kudo was too small, and no one paid any attention to him on the way.

It's too chaotic here, and they're not comfortable leaving Shinichi Kudo alone in the car, so they've decided to keep an eye on him.

In a safe, enclosed space, Genichiro Sanada breathed a sigh of relief. That scene just now was terrifying.

Sanada Rin looked at Sanada Genichiro's clothes, especially the pockets with a few extra creases.

Genichiro Sanada noticed it, reached out to touch it, his expression changed slightly, the texture in his hand was wrong, and what was originally a cell phone had turned into several thin cards.

Genichiro Sanada took it out; the pink card had a number and house number on it, and it also emitted a strange fragrance.
