"You parasite, do you think the Yasuda family belongs to you alone? Or are you the only one in the whole family who is so valuable, and everyone else is born to be your slave?" Yasuda Toshiaki mocked without any politeness.

"It was you, it was all you, you're the ones who ruined me, it was all you..." Yasuda Eiji roared uncontrollably. The slow-witted man finally realized that all the 'strategists' around him were deliberately planted by them. Yahashi Kazuhiko was one, and so were those before him.

"Ha, you've gone mad," Yasuda Toshiaki scoffed, then turned to Kujo Kana and said gently, "Kana, let's go, let's get away from this scumbag, this madman!"

“Okay, Brother Liming,” came a joyful, bell-like voice.

Looking at the loving couple in front of him; looking at the happy look on Kujo Kana's face as she leaned against Yasuda Toshiaki; looking at the way Kujo Kana looked at him as if he were trash.

An immense rage erupted from the depths of Yasuda Eiji's heart! At this moment, he felt as if he were fearless, and even death could not make him frown!

"You two despicable couple, I..."

Just as Yasuda Eiji was speaking, he suddenly charged at them. Yasuda Toshiaki remained calm, because someone like Yasuda Eiji, whose body was already ruined, could easily take on five, if not ten.

Yasuda Toshiaki, who was secretly assuming a judo stance to show off his skill to Kujo Kana, was waiting for Yasuda Eiji to humiliate himself.

But to everyone's surprise, Eiji Yasuda didn't care about his image at all. He just used a rogue fighting style, grabbed Toshiaki Yasuda by the waist, and pushed Toshiaki Yasuda towards the railing behind him!

Yasuda Toshiaki fought back fiercely, kicking Yasuda Eiji in the stomach with his knee and striking him in the back with his elbow...

Eiji Yasuda gritted his teeth and endured the pain, then, holding Toshiaki Yasuda in his arms, they both climbed over the railing...

The whole process took less than 3 seconds, and by the time the surrounding security guards reacted, it was too late.

The only one who reacted was Kana Kujo!

She grabbed Yasuda Toshiaki's hand!

However, being light and agile, she was carried by inertia and flipped over the railing, even though she could have let go at all during the process.

but!

The preciousness of true love lies in the fact that it makes people willing to die for each other!

And so, to the astonishment of the guests,

Under the desperate gazes of Akihiko Yasuda and Hisahito Kujo,

Amidst the anxious gazes of the surrounding waiters and security guards,

Three people fell off the roof!

How high is it from here to the ground? About 400 meters!

The wind howled all around him. Eiji snapped out of his rage. In the last few seconds of his life, scenes of his pitiful, tragic, and hateful short life flashed through his mind, finally settling on the image of his mother, whom he had only seen in photographs!

A tear rolled down his cheek!

"mom!"

······

A moment later, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" echoed downstairs.

Then, sirens, ambulance sirens, and the clamor of people began to blare.

Chapter 23 Death

Turning our attention to the lobby of the Tokyo hotel:

At this moment, many people in the banquet hall were whispering among themselves.

No one expected such a thing to happen at today's banquet. Many people witnessed the whole thing, and on the surface, everyone looked sad. After all, if you were to appear happy at this time, you would really want to test the wrath of the Yasuda and Kujo families.

Of course, everyone secretly thought this banquet was simply...so much fun! It finally added some spice to their otherwise mundane lives.

"Quickly, save her! Go check on Miss!" Kujo Yuuhito urgently ordered his subordinates.

Even so, Kujo Hisahito himself knew in his heart that the chances of survival were slim, but what if he didn't see the body beforehand?

His face gradually turned from despair to anger. Kujo Yuji walked up to Yasuda Toshiaki and grabbed the equally desperate and angry Yasuda Akihiko, saying, "You gave birth to such a good thing! If anything happens to Kana, I'll never forgive you!"

Yasuda Akihiko slapped Kujo Hisahito's hand away and said angrily, "Your daughter is promiscuous and ruined my two sons. I'm not finished with you!"

"Say that again if you dare! Who's promiscuous!"

"Wasn't it your daughter, that jinx, who killed my two sons?!"

···

Anger caused the two to abandon their composed and elegant facades befitting their high positions, turning them into nothing more than ordinary shrewish women ranting in the street.

Security guards and guests stepped forward to separate the two men who were wrestling.

A short while later, a team of criminal police officers appeared in the hall.

The leader was a capable middle-aged police officer who addressed Yasuda Akihiko and Kujo Yuuhito: "I am Inspector General Odagiri Toshiro, and the three behind me are Inspector Megure, Shiratori, and Inspector Nakamori. We are jointly handling this case. May I ask who is hosting this banquet?"

Behind Superintendent Oda, Megure, Shiratori, and Nakamori each instructed their subordinates to carefully examine the scene, inquire about the details of the case, record statements from bystanders, and review surveillance footage.

Kujo Yuuhito said, "It's me."

"Excuse me, who are you?" Superintendent Oda asked.

"I am Hisahito Kujo, the organizer of this banquet. May I ask how my daughter is?"

"Inspector Matsumi will explain this to you."

Matsumi stepped forward and said, "The victims were two men and one woman, namely Yasuda Eiji, Yasuda Toshiaki, and Kujo Kana. The cause of death was falling from the building and dying instantly. This is a photo of the scene."

As he spoke, Song Mi took out several fragmented and bloody photos from the documents.

Kujo Miori looked at the photo and saw her daughter, whose upper and lower body were indistinguishable, her eyes rolled back, her head lolled to the side, and she fainted.

"Doctor, call a doctor quickly—" Kujo Yuhito said urgently.

···

After the doctor took Miori Kujo away.

“Mr. Kujo, and this gentleman, I believe it is Mr. Yasuda, are you the family members of the deceased? Can you tell us what happened in this incident?” Superintendent Oda asked politely.

···

Afterwards, the detectives learned the details of the incident from people around them:

It was a tragedy caused entirely by Yasuda Eiji's resentment stemming from jealousy.

However, the murderer is already dead, and this case can only be treated as an accident.

"Thank you all for your cooperation," said Superintendent Oda.

“Wait a moment, Superintendent Oda,” Yasuda Akihiko said.

"what happened?"

"I've discussed this case with Mr. Kujo, and we hope you'll close it as an 'accident,'" Yasuda Akihiko said solemnly, without any hint of request.

These guys really care about their reputation, but I'm just a lowly superintendent...

“Okay, we’ll do as you say. If there’s nothing else, we’ll head back now,” Xiaotian said politely.

···

Just as the detectives were about to leave, a commotion broke out.

Hiroyuki Imaizumi arrived in the lobby with the National Security Bureau's Special Operations Division.

************Divider begins*************

Let's go back a few weeks!

National Security Bureau Special Operations Division Headquarters:

Hiroyuki Imaizumi has already assembled his team, prioritizing quality over quantity!

The main members are as follows:

Kyoko Shimada: 28 years old, an elite intelligence analyst in the national intelligence agency, a professional who collects, organizes and analyzes industry data.

Akira Akihara: 32 years old, a super hacker ranked around 1000th in the world. He can use mobile phones, computers, roadside surveillance cameras, and all other electronic devices to create digital tracking systems to locate the vast majority of people in Japan.

It can hack into most people's mobile phones, computers, and other electronic products. If necessary, it can also hack into the data of the public security organs and the government. Of course, it is impossible to do so without being detected.

As for why it wasn't the higher-ranked hackers, it's because the Japanese government couldn't find the higher-ranked hackers either.

Rentaro Yamauchi: 50 years old, a world-renowned psychologist and human behaviorist.

Taishi Onuma: 53 years old, a veteran detective with 30 years of experience in handling cases.

Tomoki Ishimoto: 43 years old, neuroscientist, part-time psychiatrist.

Yuki Yamakawa: 32 years old, elite agent of the Japanese National Security Agency.

Matsuzawa Saku: 46 years old, secretary.

Section Chief Hiroyuki Imaizumi: The Great Detective.

Keigo Yokota: 34 years old, mentally ill, the ace found by the Special Operations Division!

That's right, he's mentally ill. His true identity is that of a victim who was turned into an idiot by a pet. His 'self' was destroyed, and he became an idiot and was sent to a mental hospital. Therefore, he is also full of hatred for the pet.

However, after 7 years and 6 months of being mentally impaired, he regained his self-awareness. Moreover, due to his brain being isolated from the outside world for a long time, his sixth sense—a sense of danger—became incredibly sharp. So much so that he could clearly sense the difference whenever Pet stood in front of him. He was later discovered by the National Security Agency and transferred here.

"Shimada, have you finished compiling the Metropolitan Police Department's files?" Hiroyuki Imaizumi asked.

“It’s all sorted out,” Shimada said.

"How many people did Honda meet between the time he raped his wife and daughter in Yatsuhashi and the time of the incident?" Matsuzawa Saku continued.

"The count is complete, a total of 169 people. Honda's colleagues: 43, neighbors: 35, friends and acquaintances: 23, and the rest are strangers that Honda Ichiro met for the first time: 68, including tourists asking for directions, various salespeople, shop and supermarket employees, passengers on the bus, etc." Shimada said, his fingers constantly tapping on the keyboard.

"Oh, removing contact for more than a minute?" Matsuzawa Saku asked.

"All of the above, the contact lasted or may have lasted more than one minute," Shimada replied.

"Are there any omissions?" Hiroyuki Imaizumi asked.

"No, this is the result of the Metropolitan Police Department mobilizing all its resources, scouring over 1800 hours of surveillance footage and conducting on-site interviews with 595 people," Shimada replied.

"Let's start the investigation with those 68 strangers," Matsuzawa Saku ordered. "Do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, sir," everyone replied in unison.
