Chapter 770: Next target
The party was attended by the rich and famous, so no matter how much the police wanted to keep quiet about this, the word spread.
After the tragic death of Okami, who was the godfather of the business world, the head of the Sumitomo Corporation died suddenly at his own party from a lightning bolt.
According to the witnesses, the murder was more blatant this time, and the video also got released.
With the exposure of this video, the Deviant Corp came into the public’s view, but no one knew for sure what kind of organization it was.
However, the Capital Society also surfaced with the release of the video.
It was obvious since the person in the video said that this was targeted at the Capital Society, and that it was a head-to-head battle between the two organizations.
The Wei Nation members of the Capital Society had been putting pressure on the Wei Nation police department.
The new police chief looked at the former chief, who had been put under surveillance to cooperate with this case, and let out a bitter smile.
He could feel the same pain and pressure as the previous chief. His subordinates had made no gains from the security check, and there were only few clues that were worth investigating.
One of them was the fingerprints left on Okami’s dead body, which was identical to the fingerprints left on Kubo Mitsubishi’s dead body back then, both belonging to cats.
It seemed like another paranormal incident, and the Wei Nation was keen on the presence of mysterious beings. When Kubo Mitsubishi died in the hotel with a distorted figure devoutly kneeling to pray at something, and without much evidence, the case remained unsolved and was left as a paranormal event.
They did not expect this fingerprint and the brutal death to reappear today!
And this time, they knew the name of the organization: the Deviant Corp.
The autopsy report for Sumitomo came out, and he was indeed killed by high-voltage electrical currents. Police officers and detectives went to the scene and simulated the event; although it was an open party outside, there were no thunderclouds so there shouldn’t have been lightning.
According to the hotel’s electricity equipment at the time, it wouldn’t have generated high-voltage electrical conduction, and yet the autopsy report stated that he died from electrical shock.
This method of death was simply unbelievable.
Some immediately felt that this was not caused by any human, but he had died from a heavenly decree!
For a while, folks questioned what the Okami and Sumitomo family heads had done to make God punish them like this.
Others wondered what kind of existence this Capital Society was and why it had attracted such enmity.
The Police Department approached the descendants of the Okami and Sumitomo family to further investigate.
Both groups slapped on the table and cursed, “Bullsh*t God’s punishment, this is clearly murder.”
The police officer waved his hand. “Well take it easy. If it’s indeed a murder, then let us run through the causes; it’s clearly revenge. So let me ask, what exactly is the Capital Society? Your fathers obviously had something to do with this organization to be retaliated against, so please tell us what you know.”
Both of them were at a loss for words.
This was something that could not be exposed.
The police department was having a hard time. “We have to at least sort this out right? If you don’t cooperate, we can’t be sure who the next target will be. The video stated that they will be retaliating against the members, do you have a list? Otherwise, we have no way to protect you properly, and we police are put into a very passive position.”
Mitsui’s second eldest son said, “You are not qualified to know about the Capital Society.”
The police department chief was outright angered. He knew that more people would die if this case did not progress any further, and the image of the Wei Nation would be destroyed. By then, not just him, but even the new Prime Minister would have to resign!
The prime minister’s side had openly put pressure on him, and their team was no longer going to keep their eyes closed about this group of tycoons and let them play on their own. This had affected the public and themselves, so how could they not worry about it.
“This is no longer a personal matter, so please cooperate with us. If more important people die, then the reputation of the Wei Nation’s public security will be reduced to historical low points; that’s something that will endanger the interests of the country! Tell us who the members of the Capital Society in the Wei Nation are, okay?”
The second eldest son of Mitsui murmured and did not say anything.
This had been the rule since day one.
At this point, he could only change the subject and say, “Don’t you want to catch the murderer? We have a way to lure the murderer out, and it’s up to you if you can catch them.”
The police chief quickly asked, “What way?”
“It was in the video that they will kill whoever the next Continental Lord is. Soon, a new candidate for this position will be appointed, and when they make their move, that’s your chance to catch them.”
The Chief: “So who will be the new Lord?”
The second eldest son of Mitsui shook his head, “We don’t know yet, but we will announce it in a high profile way, so prepare yourselves then.”
Just as he finished speaking, the lawyer behind him came in with a heavy face with a cell phone in his hand and said, “Mr. Kazuo Mitsui, the council has informed you that you have been appointed as the new Lord!”
His pupils instantly dilated, and subconsciously he yelled towards his lawyer, “Tell them that if the Knights don’t come, then I will refuse!”
The police chief interrupted him, “You have to accept. Trust us!”
“Trust what!” The second eldest son of Mitsui yelled towards this police chief, “You don’t know anything! You think you guys can protect me? Bullsh*t.”
The police chief also looked angry and said in a deep voice, “It’s time to prove our ability! Kazuo-san, this time, we’ll do everything right.”
Kazuo Mitsui ignored him and looked at the lawyer for confirmation, “Is that true? Do you think I can refuse?”
After thinking about it, the lawyer said, “At this time, for your safety, I think you can refuse. But for the sake of the family’s future, you can’t. The council desperately wants someone to take over the role and set an example. Right now, many members are frightened, and someone needs to come forward from the headquarters’s side. They promised to have five additional council member spots reserved for the Wei Nation. “
Someone over at Switzerland’s headquarters was in a rage.
Oldman Rothschild slapped his hand on the table and said angrily, “This is a slap in our face! This is the first time someone dares to come at us like this, is this person crazy? Two Lords died consecutively and most of the members in the Wei Nation have started to sway against us! This must not continue!”
Cloverfield, who represented the Lord of North America, said in a serious tone with both hands on his cheeks, “We can’t have any more deaths, otherwise the Wei Nation tycoons will withdraw one after another, which will be detrimental to our future control of the Asian economy. I suggest that we let the Knights step in and take charge of protecting the candidate this time, and it would also warn the Deviant Corp as well.”
Oldman Rothschild said, “Just appoint Mitsui Okami’s eldest son to be the next one. He should be the one who wants to avenge his father the most, we could choose him.”
They did not expect that Mitsui Kazuo was actually afraid this time.
He did not know much about the Deviant Corp, but he had witnessed the bizarre way they killed someone, and it would be a lie to say that he was not scared.
Why? Because even his father’s swordsman couldn’t even protect his father, and who did he have to protect him?
