Chapter Sixteen: A Frustrated Amuro Tooru, an Enraged Megure Jiro!
Metropolitan Police Department, next door.
Amuro Detective Agency.
Second floor, office.
Amuro Tooru, with a slightly tanned complexion and a head of golden hair, had just finished sending a text message and slumped back into his office chair.
His brow was furrowed with worry.
Subconsciously.
He turned his head and looked through the office window, seeing a large group of police officers setting up a cordon and collecting the bodies not far from the Metropolitan Police Department.
“Damn it!”
“The organization is getting more and more outrageous. They dare to strike at the doorstep of the Metropolitan Police Department.”
“These bastards, they all deserve to die!”
Amuro Tooru’s eyes were cold.
But, after a moment.
He loosened his fist, as if all his strength had been drained, and slumped back into his office chair, a bitter smile on his lips.
Yes.
He was helpless!
The Black Organization was too large. Even after being an undercover agent for so long, he still couldn’t grasp the core information.
Even now.
That damn Rum, that bastard, had done this to his “beloved country,” and he still had to run around and clean up his mess, even trying to find information on “Li Ze” for him.
Damn it.
The thought of it made Amuro Tooru feel like swearing.
However…
Thinking of the information he had just received from his subordinate, Fumiya Yumie, through the Public Security Bureau, his brow furrowed slightly.
That information was too exaggerated.
In just half a year, it had expanded to such a degree.
The speed was unprecedented.
If this company called “Umbrella” had grown through conventional business methods, or some kind of core technology, then Amuro Tooru wouldn’t have paid much attention.
But it wasn’t like that!
The growth method of this company was, damn it, through mergers and acquisitions.
In just, less than half a year.
It had acquired three companies in a row, as if it were a joke.
Especially, the Segawa Zaibatsu!
As the top second-tier zaibatsu in Japan, if it had been a normal situation, even if Segawa Takafumi had indeed killed someone yesterday, it wouldn’t be a big deal if they just handled it a little bit.
As a top-tier large zaibatsu, they had enough legal counsel and public relations teams.
So.
If it had been normal, after a while, Segawa Takafumi would have been released for various reasons.
Even, if you take a step back.
Even if the Segawa Group’s methods were sloppy, even if they couldn’t save Segawa Takafumi, but to ensure the normal operation of the zaibatsu and select a true chairman.
Was that difficult?
But, that’s where the problem lies!
That Li Ze was like a prophet, and he had already made all the preparations in advance.
The moment Segawa Takafumi got into trouble, he immediately took various actions, and before the Segawa Zaibatsu could react, he directly caught them off guard, forcibly tore apart the Segawa Zaibatsu’s fig leaf, and directly swallowed the most delicious piece of meat.
Then.
The other zaibatsu, reacted.
Like flies that smelled blood, they all took various actions.
Eventually.
Before the Segawa Zaibatsu could react, they completely divided up the Segawa Zaibatsu.
Was this normal?
Damn it.
Not at all normal, okay?
In his entire life, Amuro Tooru had never seen a company that didn’t rely on business operations or core technology, but instead relied on acquiring other companies to directly develop.
And, more importantly.
Everything they did was legal and legitimate!
At least.
Amuro Tooru couldn’t find any evidence of them breaking the law.
“Wow, interesting!”
“This Li Ze, he’s really interesting.”
“Five months ago, the Fujita New Materials Co., Ltd., the president was assassinated by his subordinates for embezzling from the subsidiary company. Then, the case was solved on the spot by the high school detective, Kudo Shinichi. Afterwards, while the company was empty, it was directly acquired by Li Ze’s “Umbrella.”
“Three months ago, Kurihara Biopharmaceuticals…”
“Yesterday, the Segawa Zaibatsu!”
“Although there are traces to follow, why do I not believe it?”
“No, it’s impossible!”
“There is definitely a lot of information I haven’t found out.”
Amuro Tooru thought to himself.
His eyes, sparkled with brilliance.
Clearly.
He had become interested in this Li Ze.
And, at that moment.
His phone, rang.
He picked up the phone casually, and it was a text message.
The message was simple.
“Secretly investigate Li Ze, Rum!”
After seeing this text message, a faint smile appeared on Amuro Tooru’s face.
Well, yes.
That was exactly what he wanted!
…
Metropolitan Police Department, fifth floor.
Megure Jiro, who had just finished dealing with the “Li Ze Case” bodies and looked very gloomy, immediately went to his superior’s office.
Bang bang bang!
He knocked on the office door, and after hearing the sound of “Come in” from inside, he took a deep breath before pushing the door open.
“Matsumoto Kanri-kan…”
“Some people, are too outrageous!”
“They bribed assassins to fight for business. Now that the assassins have been arrested, they dare to strike at the doorstep of the Metropolitan Police Department, directly trying to kill the assassins.”
“The most important thing is, they dare to use a sniper rifle.”
“Although we have no leads on this case yet, I still hope that Kanri-kan, you will allow the First Investigation Division to continue the investigation.”
“Those people hiding behind the scenes, I, Megure Jiro, will bet my honor as a police officer to catch those bastards!”
Megure Jiro’s tone was heavy.
He wasn’t stupid.
Even though Li Ze didn’t say much, he understood the nature of this case.
Unlike the “murder cases” he dealt with on a daily basis, which were petty squabbles.
This case was a struggle between the zaibatsu!
The culprit behind the scenes?
There was no need to consider it, it was definitely those zaibatsu.
If he was given some time, he was confident he could investigate it.
However, the problem was.
Japan’s national conditions were complex, and the zaibatsu’s network of interests was too large!
He was just a Keibu!
His authority was too low.
So, if he wanted to continue the investigation, he had to get authorization from the upper management of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Only then.
Would he have the confidence to continue the investigation.
On the other hand.
Opposite the desk, sat a middle-aged man.
He was extremely burly, exuding a fierce aura, he was Megure Jiro’s immediate superior.
Matsumoto Kiyoshi!
Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Division, First Investigation Division Kanri-kan.
However.
After listening to Megure Jiro’s report, his expression remained calm.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head.
“Sorry, Megure.”
“This case, ends here!”
“No need to investigate further, everything…”
However.
Before Matsumoto Kiyoshi could finish, he was interrupted by Megure Jiro.
“Matsumoto Kanri-kan, you can’t do this!”
“We once swore to the Sakura Emblem, to not fear any incident, to uphold fairness and justice with our own conscience…”
“How can you be afraid?”
Megure Jiro was very unhappy.
However, to this.
Matsumoto Kiyoshi’s expression remained calm.
He took a deep breath and spoke helplessly.
“Megure, don’t worry.”
“Things aren’t like you think. This case isn’t an internal struggle between the zaibatsu.”
“This case isn’t not being investigated, it’s not the Metropolitan Police Department’s responsibility.”
“Forget it, I’ll tell you the truth.”
“The Public Security Bureau just came, and the case has been transferred to them!”
