Chapter 357 "It's too late, teacher."
On the other end of the phone, Nishizaki Zhouming looked confused.
What happened to the person across the street? Did he get bit by a firecracker?
At the same time, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
What's going on? Why is the other party so furious? Is there something wrong somewhere?
Nishizaki Zhouming wanted to call back to ask for clarification, but the other party's phone number was no longer in service.
——I’m afraid we won’t be able to get in touch this time.
This undoubtedly deepened Nishizaki Zhouming's inner anxiety.
He stood up and began to pace around the office.
The strength of that organization is unquestionable, otherwise the Windru case nine years ago and the Nishizaki case nine years before and after would not have become nightmares for the police.
Nishizaki Zhouming had no doubt that if that organization wanted to deal with him, he would have no chance of survival.
"No!" Xi Qi Zhou Ming murmured softly, "I can't die yet."
He picked up his cell phone and wanted to call the Metropolitan Police Department when Morimoto Yu suddenly walked in from outside.
"Teacher, the Metropolitan Police Department has already publicly stated that they were unaware of your actions today. You will be responsible for all the consequences you have caused."
"What?" Xi Qi Zhou Ming was shocked. "How dare they say that?"
"Take a look." Morimoto Yu placed the tablet in front of Nishizaki Shōaki, on which the Metropolitan Police Department's press conference was being broadcast live.
The person who was speaking from the main seat was none other than Kuroda Heibei, the manager of the First Investigation Division.
"Regarding the portrait of the criminal that Mr. Nishizaki unveiled at the reception this morning, we, the police, were unaware of it beforehand and even warned him not to attempt to provoke the murderer. Unfortunately, Mr. Nishizaki insisted on his own way and ignored our advice, ultimately leading to a disastrous outcome—"
"This time, the perpetrator's identity was exposed, sparking unrest and causing extremely negative consequences, resulting in numerous injuries and three deaths. One of them was a colleague of ours who died in the line of duty at the age of 26."
"Regarding this case, our police have been diligently investigating, tracing back to the Windru case nine years ago, and have discovered more loopholes in that case. However, we were not previously aware of this matter. We hope that Mr. Nishizaki Zhouming, the person in charge of the case back then, can answer our questions."
"At the same time, we, the police, express our deepest apologies and condolences to the families of the victims in the Windru case, as well as the victims and their families implicated in the current case..."
Kuroda Heibei spoke expressionlessly as the flash bombs in the audience kept popping and almost engulfing Kuroda Heibei, but his eyes remained extremely firm from beginning to end, and he did not show any unusual emotions.
The content of his speech this time undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Nishizaki Zhouming.
Nishizaki Zhouming stared at the contents on the tablet. Although his face remained calm, his hands were actually shaking slightly.
He knew that he had seriously offended the Metropolitan Police Department this time, and they wanted to cut off all ties with him.
Nishizaki Shōmei, who originally wanted to seek help from the Metropolitan Police Department, had no choice but to give up the idea.
Even though he had explained the situation, the Metropolitan Police Department would definitely protect him from being killed by those guys, but what if they held a grudge and deliberately ignored him?
After much deliberation, Nishizaki Zhouming decided to target the public security officers.
I think the police would be very interested in such a huge organizational force, right?
The Public Security Bureau has higher authority than the Metropolitan Police Department, so it will definitely be more effective to contact them than to contact ordinary police officers.
"Teacher, what should we do next?" Morimoto asked gently, "Should we explain this to the Metropolitan Police Department?"
"No need." Xi Qi Zhou Ming decisively denied it.
Morimoto looked at him, his fox eyes devoid of any emotion: "Then how should we deal with this? The teacher has published the portrait of the murderer. He might hold a grudge and become a threat to the teacher—"
Nishizaki Zhouming didn't answer. He just glanced at Morimoto Yui and said calmly, "I'll take care of this matter. Just help me manage the Special Investigation Department's affairs recently."
Morimoto narrowed his eyes, then nodded: "Okay, teacher."
"You go out first." Xi Qi Zhou Ming said, sitting back in his chair, looking as if he had made up his mind.
Morimoto Yui walked out of the office obediently without any hesitation.
The office suddenly fell into silence.
The man in the chair tapped the table lightly, as if he was reviewing something in his mind. His frown never relaxed and his expression was extremely serious.
Suddenly, the tapping on the table stopped.
The man took out his cell phone and called Ryo Kawaguchi to his office.
"Prosecutor Nishizaki."
Ryo Kawaguchi bowed slightly.
"What's wrong with Morimoto Yu recently?" Nishizaki Zhouming stared at Kawanoguchi Ryo without blinking, as if afraid of missing something.
Kawanoguchi Ryo was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Prosecutor Morimoto has been doing fine lately. There's nothing wrong. He's been running the Special Investigation Department very well."
Xi Qi Zhou Ming raised an eyebrow: "With so many things happening recently, he didn't react at all?"
He Zhikou Ryo was stunned for a moment, a guilty look flashing in his eyes, and then he asked cautiously: "How should he react?"
"hehe--"
Xi Qi Zhou Ming laughed softly a few times, but that laughter sounded like the evil spirits from hell, so terrifying and eerie that it made anyone who heard it feel cold all over.
"Everything is fine—"
"Hehehe——"
Windru's case was overturned, and the Nishizaki and Hase families resumed their fight. However, the eldest son of the Shirakawa family, who was at the center of the incident, was able to keep everything as normal. What a terrible story!
Now it sounds so magical...
It's funny that he only discovered this now.
hehe--
Ryo Kawaguchi resisted the urge to rub his goosebumps, swallowed, and whispered, "Prosecutor Nishizaki?"
"It's okay." Xi Qi Zhou Ming regained his composure, "You can go now."
Ryo Kawaguchi nodded quickly and left the office in a hurry.
In the office, Nishizaki Zhouming sat at the desk with an expressionless face. Even though there was not much emotion on his face, his eyes revealed tremendous anger.
"Sen——Ben——氿——"
The name seemed to come out from between teeth, carrying with it a chilling chill.
"How dare you betray me—"
"Snapped--"
Everything on the table was swept to the ground by Xi Qi Zhou Ming, making a noisy noise. Xi Qi Zhou Ming lay on the table, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Outside the office, Morimoto Yui seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at the location of Nishizaki Zhouming's office, just in time to see Kawanoguchi Ryo walking out.
It’s just that the other party’s pace was extremely hurried, so “escaping” would be a more appropriate description than “walking”.
When the other person saw him, his eyes dodged, he forced a smile, and then hurried away.
Morimoto Yu's eyes darkened slightly.
"Are you just reacting now?"
He murmured quietly.
"It's too late."
"--teacher."
