Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 388 385. Seeking Blood (2)

Three days later, in an alley in Shinjuku

"Reporting to Commander Takagi, the evidence at the crime scene has been collected, please review it!"

In the alley blocked by yellow police tape, there were three headless bodies, or rather, bodies with smashed heads.

Officer Takagi stood in front of the body, frowning as he read the report.

"The deceased this time is Ryuji Kamiki, the leader of the veteran gang Kamiki Group. The other two are the young leader and the younger leader of their group, his confidants." Officer Takagi muttered:

"The Shimoki Group transformed early and joined a large conglomerate in the early years, so they were not affected much in the big purge of the underworld that year, and they are still in their heyday today. But I didn't expect that they would also become the target of "that group."

The "group" that Officer Takagi mentioned is naturally the mysterious criminal organization that has committed countless murders in Tokyo in recent days and shot all the victims in the head.

Three days ago, he and a group of elite detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department were semi-coerced into signing a letter of guarantee, ordering them to find "that group" within 15 days, regardless of life or death.

Although the guarantee letter cannot be regarded as a threat of death, if they fail to complete the task within the specified time, they will still be severely punished. In short, they are required to adopt the mentality of "success or death" and catch the criminals at all costs.

However, three days later, there was no significant progress in the investigation, and the number of victims continued to increase at a terrifying rate. Take Officer Gao Mu for example, he now has to go to five to ten murder scenes a day, and his investigation of the scene can only be a simple formality.

"Anyway, let's do this for now. Send someone to clean up the scene." Officer Gao Mu rubbed his nose and said, "Closing the team."

Leaving the alley, Officer Takagi ran into an old acquaintance.

"Hey, Takagi!" Xi Shenjian put one hand in his pocket and waved the other hand:

"Why is there another place blocking the yellow line? Is there another murder case?"

"That's right. The deceased are the leader of the Paper Wood Group and his confidants." Officer Takagi sighed softly, his words revealing fatigue.

"How many have happened recently?" Xi Shenjian rubbed his chin with a worried look on his face: "This society always feels like it's getting out of control, in every sense."

"That group" has committed countless murders in Tokyo, and has even spread to the surrounding areas of Tokyo, as if it wants to dye the entire land of Tokyo into blood.

Although the police intended to conceal the truth, the number of deaths was so large that the public had already noticed it to some extent, and concealing it further would only be deceiving themselves.

"Hey~ Speaking of which, when I was riding the train today, I heard several junior high school students next to me discussing the topic of murder. It's really exaggerated, junior high school students are talking about it!" Yushin Jian stepped forward and patted Officer Takagi on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Who would have thought that you were also in the task force? You've had a hard time. I tell you, you look so tired. Do you want to go for a drink?"

"Sorry, I still have cases to investigate." Officer Takagi rubbed his sore eyes.

"Don't be like this~" Xi Shenjian hooked his shoulders and took him away by force: "Investigating a case also requires a combination of work and rest! Let's go to my office for a drink, or you can talk to me about the details of the case and let me give you some advice!"

"Okay, okay." Officer Takagi couldn't resist his friend's invitation and had no choice but to do as he was asked.

The two of them arrived at the office, and Officer Takagi slumped on the sofa like a doll with exhausted batteries. Yushin Jian poured him a glass of sake and took out a box of instant sushi from the refrigerator. "Thank you for the treat." Officer Takagi picked up the sushi and swallowed it with the wine. A warm current rose from his stomach and spread to his internal organs, which made him feel a little more energetic.

"So tell me, to what extent have you investigated so far?" Xi Shenjian opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of curiosity.

In this case, the police were asked by their superiors to investigate the case by any means necessary, as long as the matter was kept secret from the public as much as possible and did not cause unnecessary panic.

As usual, Officer Takagi found his old detective friend and asked him to assist him in the investigation.

"I will send you the latest information for your review, except for some confidential information that cannot be given to you." Officer Gao Mu put down his wine glass and exhaled:
"The investigation time is too short. I have almost no clue at the moment, and I don't know if other people have the same idea as me. But I always feel that this series of mysterious murders and "that group" must be related to a deep conspiracy."

"Conspiracy. Yes, I know it without even thinking about it." Xi Shenjian leaned back on the sofa and shook the sake in his glass:

"How many similar skull-smashing murders have happened recently? Two hundred? Five hundred? Maybe a thousand! If it was really done by the same criminal group, it would be too incredible! I think there must be some non-human monsters in that group! Haha, I'm just guessing, don't take it too seriously~"

"Mr. Xi Shen is really good at thinking out of the box. He has always been a bold thinker." Officer Takagi couldn't help laughing:
"If there really is some supernatural factor in this series of cases, it would be easier to explain."

"Come on, anyway. I'll try my best to help you." Xi Shenjian turned his sore shoulder:

"To be honest, it would be great if that guy was here. Who knows, he might have some brilliant ideas!"

"That boy, Mr. Kyushu." Officer Gao Mu sighed thoughtfully, "Yeah, it would be nice if he was there too."

"." Xi Shenjian fell silent, and Officer Takagi also fell silent.

Looking back to when Kyushu Makoto worked at the Yushin Detective Agency, they were a powerful combination, and it seemed that any commission could be solved and any danger was not to be feared.

However, more than a year has passed since Kyushu Makoto disappeared. The two have tried every possible way to find him in the past year, and they are almost digging up the entire Tokyo.

But no matter how hard they tried, it was all in vain. They both had their own lives to live, and it was impossible for them to devote all their energy to finding the boy.

Now all they can do is to cherish the memory. To cherish the memory of that extraordinary and amazing boy, to cherish the time they spent with that boy, and then to persuade themselves that separation and death are the norm in life, and this is also the inevitable taste of life.

"I'm sorry for taking so long here. I should leave now." Officer Takagi drank the sake in his glass and stood up to leave.

"Oh, are you leaving now?" Xi Shenjian wanted to keep him.

"Thanks to your wine, I feel much warmer." Officer Takagi patted his clothes and sighed, "The weather in early March is still very cold. If you are not careful, you will catch a cold."

"Then work harder. I wish you good luck." Xi Shenjian also stood up and saw him out:

"Come and visit me more often when you have time! Jiuzhou suddenly disappeared, and Xiaojing also stopped coming because he had to take the college entrance exam. I'm very lonely now. Apart from that fat boy who often comes to visit me, you're the only one left."

"What are you talking about? You're like an old couple separated from their families!" Officer Gao Mu laughed dumbly: "I'm leaving now. You should be careful too!"
