Chapter 263 Deadline for Investigation
Three days later, an urgent secret telegram swept through the Black Dragon Society's headquarters in Saikyo, Japan like a hurricane.
When the old chairman Ito Sekisai read the contents of the telegram with trembling hands...
His old face was instantly distorted and covered with hideous bloodshot.
"Baka! Trash! A bunch of trash!"
The roar shook the whole room, and the tea set on the table was swept to the ground and shattered.
The message clearly read: [The young master of the Black Dragon Society, Ito Takuma, was murdered in the Moyu Apartment in Shanghai three days ago.]
[Also killed was his personal assistant, Koizumi Shikano.]
This news was like a bolt from the blue for the Black Dragon Society.
Ito Takuma is not only the future successor of the Black Dragon Society, but also the most beloved grandson of the old chairman Ito Sekisai.
Now he died in a foreign land. How could the elderly Kondo Sekisai bear this?
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find the murderer for me!"
Kondo Sekisai roared at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with deep hatred.
"I will cut the murderer into pieces and grind his bones to dust, only then will I be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
The Black Dragon Society was like a dormant giant beast, instantly enraged.
Countless hidden lines were activated, and an invisible network began to quietly spread out in Shanghai.
At the same time, the Japanese military also received a report of Ito Takuma's death.
The top military officials were also furious and immediately ordered the Military Police Headquarters and the Special High Section in Shanghai to solve the case within a specified time limit and give an explanation to the military and the Black Dragon Society.
The double pressure was like two huge mountains, weighing heavily on the Special High Section stationed in Shanghai.
The atmosphere in Takahashi Yui's office was suffocatingly depressing.
General Tanaka sat on the sofa with a sullen face, his eyes as sharp as knives, glaring at Nakamura Kamijima and Takahashi Yui who were standing in front of the desk.
"Baga, this is the work efficiency of your Special High Section? Huh?"
"A living person, the young master of the Black Dragon Society, was killed right under your noses!"
"You actually knew nothing about this and only discovered it today?"
General Tanaka's voice was extremely cold and carried a chilling pressure.
The head of Section 1, Nakamura Kamijima, lowered his head, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and said nothing.
Takahashi Yui bowed slightly and said in a sad tone:
"General, we are deeply saddened and regretful about the unfortunate death of Mr. Ito."
"The Special High Section in Shanghai has set up a special task force to investigate the case with all its strength and make sure the murderer is brought to justice."
"Investigate with all your strength?" General Tanaka sneered, "I will only give you, the Special High Section, three days."
"Within three days, I want to see substantial progress!"
"If after three days, there is still no clue, both of you will be subject to military court!"
After saying this, General Tanaka snorted heavily and walked away.
Nakamura Kamijima breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Takahashi Yui's expression remained solemn. He realized that the real trouble had just begun.
The forensic autopsy report was soon delivered to Takahashi Yui's desk.
When he saw the contents of the report, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Glycoside plant toxins?" Takahashi Yui murmured to himself, his eyes falling on a line of special notes on the report.
[Note: The composition of this toxin is highly consistent with the toxin previously detected in underground party traitors.]
Takahashi Yui's heart suddenly shook, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He immediately thought of Jiang Shiyuan, who was proficient in medicine and was also good at chemical pharmaceuticals.
This has long been no secret within the Special High Section.
Moreover, she had participated in the interrogation of underground party traitors and had come into contact with those toxin samples.
More importantly, Ito Takuma was murdered right after the welcome dinner.
On the night of the dinner, the woman who had the most contact with Ito Takuma and was the only one who was alone with him was Jiang Shiyuan!
Countless thoughts flashed through Takahashi Yui's mind in an instant, and it was a mess.
He was unwilling to believe that Ayako, whom he trusted, was the murderer of Takuma Ito.
But reason told him that Jiang Shiyuan's suspicion was too great.
He closed his eyes in pain and took a deep breath.
In any case, for the reputation of the Special Higher Police and to complete the orders of the military and the Black Dragon Society, he must launch an investigation.
Even though the subject of the investigation was his beloved woman.
Takahashi Yui opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He picked up the phone on the table and dialed the internal line.
"Notify everyone to immediately conduct a secret investigation of all those who had contact with Ito Takuma on the night of the welcome dinner.
"The key target of investigation is...Second Section 2 confidential secretary, Sakai Ayako."
After the order was issued, the entire Special High Section in Shanghai became like a bow with a taut string, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Jiang Shiyuan sat in the office, seemingly still calmly handling documents, but his heart was already filled with alarm bells.
She was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere around the office.
Normally, those colleagues who seemed to be walking around casually seemed to be hanging around her office door more frequently today.
Some obscure glances lingered on her from time to time.
Even the air seemed to be filled with a subtle hint of scrutiny and suspicion.
She knew that Ito Takuma's death had attracted the Special Higher Police's high attention.
And she inevitably became the main suspect.
Jiang Shiyuan's heart sank little by little.
She understood that she was facing an unprecedented crisis.
Once the Special High Police finds any clues, what awaits her will be an abyss of no return.
She must not sit still and wait for death!
Jiang Shiyuan warned herself in her heart that she must take the initiative to resolve the crisis.
Only then can we continue to lurk in the heart of the enemy and obtain more valuable intelligence.
Her brain was working rapidly, with various thoughts colliding and weighing in her mind.
Finally, a bold plan gradually took shape in her mind.
The best way to clear suspicion is to take the initiative to prove your innocence.
In order to prove his innocence as the real murderer, he must lead the Special Higher Police's investigation in the wrong direction.
The corners of Jiang Shiyuan's mouth curled up slightly in an icy arc.
Since they doubt themselves, let them doubt.
She would let them see with their own eyes how she "tried hard" to cooperate with the investigation and how she "innocently" cleared herself of suspicion.
A silent contest quietly unfolds within the Special High Section in Shanghai, where undercurrents are surging.
Jiang Shiyuan, like a cheetah lurking in the dark night, is ready to fight back.
