Net King Whale Fall

Chapter 697 Unexpected

Having probably heard some unusual noises, A-Da rushed over with Sanada Genichiro.

Ah Da subtly shifted his gaze, unaware of what had happened.

Sanada Genichiro looked at Oda and then at Kudo. Their actions were surprisingly similar, so Sanada Genichiro also turned his head away and stopped looking.

Sanada Rei finished him off with a punch to the bridge of his nose, breaking it. What a jerk! Doesn't he even know what's going on? He's threatening her now.

Sakai Yuichi was almost unconscious; his chest was heaving slightly, and his eyes were unfocused, unable to concentrate on Sanada Rin's face.

He never expected this woman to be so fierce. Did he even say anything? She slapped him twice right away. Did she have no morals at all?

With the backing of powerful figures, he's always been the one running rampant and lawless. I never expected him to stumble so badly on his own turf. How ruthless!

Sakai Yuichi, barely able to speak, said, "No, it's no use. You've captured me. It's no use."

The voice was too weak; Sanada Rin could only vaguely make out a few words: "It's okay, that's enough. My mission is to capture the serial killer involved in the eye-gouging cases, and you and your father are the ones in that."

“I found your mother’s remains in the crevices of your bed frame, and the evidence has been taken to the police station.”

"Your father is dead, but you are still alive. Enjoy your remaining time in prison."

Sanada Rin understood what he meant, of course. "As for those who rely on you, don't worry too much. In a few days, I will send them in to keep you company."

Yuichi Sakai wanted to laugh heartily, but when he recalled the ruthless man's eyes, he became somewhat unsure.

He is indeed a psychopath, but the fact that he hasn't been caught by the police all these years isn't entirely due to those people. A qualified, highly intelligent psychopath can distinguish between truth and falsehood in anyone's speech.

The person in front of him was more dangerous than the old policeman who had once suspected him. They had weaknesses, but Sanada Rin did not.

Was he arrested just like that? Such a dramatic turn of events; he had even planned out the last place he wanted to dispose of the body, but hadn't had a chance to carry it out yet.

His life had been too smooth these past few years, which made him unknowingly arrogant and unwittingly walk into the hunter's shackles.

What's that saying again? "He hunts geese all day long, only to have his eye pecked by one."

Before he could recall the past, he heard Sanada Rin's voice, "Tie him up and take him away. He said there are hostages here, so just in case, search the place again."

Ah Da immediately turned around, quickly handcuffed the man, and dragged him away. He couldn't let the kid get away.

Yuichi Sakai let out a difficult groan. It hurt so much that he was afraid he wouldn't live to see trial or go to jail and would die right there in the warehouse.

Ah Da can't hear me anymore, just let him breathe his last.

This was supposed to be a monitoring room designed by Yuichi Sakai, but it only monitored the entrances and exits and some blind spots, and no other victims were found.

However, she found the main power switch, so she no longer had to search aimlessly in the dark.

"Let's go."

I don't know if this was the original layout of the warehouse, or if it was later renovated by Yuichi Sakai. The doors of each room stand quietly, as if waiting for someone to open them.

It not only has access to the electricity switches but also to these doors, saving her the trouble of prying them open one by one.

This is an operating room; the operating table in the middle and the instruments in the cabinet all tell them this.

Shinichi Kudo murmured, "The child was born here." The next room was a torture chamber, with all sorts of tools hanging on the walls, covered in indelible brown marks and reeking of a strong, fishy smell.

Genichiro Sanada couldn't bear to look at it; he couldn't imagine who would be subjected to these instruments of torture.

Ah Da lost his grip on Sakai Yuichi, shoving him around a few times before finally picking him up again, dusting himself off, and saying, "Sorry."

They pushed open another room, and it was very empty, with only a double bed placed conspicuously in the center. The sheets were even clean.
Kudo and Sanada Genichiro hadn't reacted yet.

Sanada Rin and A-Da, on the other hand, had seen too much and guessed it.

Sanada Rin scoffed, "The division of labor is quite clear."

Shinichi Kudo was startled. Where was he?
It is the place where those victims were forced into pregnancy.

Even though this room was relatively 'clean and hygienic' compared to the other rooms, a chill lingered in everyone's hearts.

Where are the police?

Ah Da checked his phone and saw a message: "Ten minutes or so, almost there."

The last room was where Yuichi Sakai rested, and many of his personal belongings were kept there.

Something's strange. Sanada Rei recalled the floor plan; something didn't seem right.

Moreover, she didn't even see the first crime scene, that torture chamber, which only accounted for the abuse aspect.

The victim was imprisoned for three years and tortured to death; she did not find the room where she was imprisoned.

Sanada Rin glanced at Sakai Yuichi, who was lying on the ground half-dead. His once fair face was now a bloody mess. Tsk, this kid is too weak.

After watching for a while, something came to mind. It's not a problem to set up traps to harm people here, or to create a secret room or something.

"Ah Da, look for a secret room."

Ah Da is already knocking on the wall, listening for any hollow sounds; he's also wondering about that.

Genichiro Sanada had absolutely no idea how to do this, so he could only step back next to Yuichi Sakai and keep an eye on people so they wouldn't get in their way.

Yuichi Sakai, who hadn't completely passed out, trembled his eyelashes. Until the very last moment, he still held onto a sliver of hope, even if the chances were slim.

With a dull creak, a dark passage appeared before them, its cold, damp atmosphere carrying a faint scent of blood that wafted up on the wind.

Sanada Rei, whose sense of smell is overly sensitive, covered the tip of her nose, confirming the diagnosis.

Yuichi Sakai's heart skipped a beat. What a load of rubbish! He spent a fortune renovating this secret room, wasn't he supposed to be unique, and that no one in the world but its creator could ever open it?!

What a load of rubbish! Five minutes? Less than five minutes and they opened it up. All his secrets were exposed.

Sakai Yuichi's throat bobbed several times, unable to resist the dizziness in his head, and he finally fainted.

Just a second before he fainted, Yuichi Sakai swore that if he had any chance to get out, he would kill that damned designer!
Sanada Genichiro looked in shock at the secret passage that led to who-knows-where, and seemed to hear the commotion from Sakai Yuichi's side. He looked at the man carefully but didn't find anything. If he had to say something, the man who was half-dead before now seemed to be completely dead.

Genichiro Sanada wasn't a germaphobe, but seeing Sakai's bloody and disheveled appearance, he restrained himself and reached out to touch Yuichi Sakai's carotid artery. He could feel a clear and distinct pulse; the man was still alive.

Genichiro Sanada also felt the sticky bloodstains on the sofa and quietly wiped them clean, since it was Yuichi Sakai's sofa after all.
