Chapter 144 Acting Skills

"Then tell me, Mr. Detective, what should we do next?"

Sakurai Takeshi stepped forward and asked.

"Mr. Sakurai, how did your lover who was assisting President Iwaki get discovered by Kudo?"

Gao Yuan asked rhetorically.

"Kudo installed a bug in Ayako's house, so..."

Sakurai Takeshi said a little embarrassed.

"I see."

Gao Yuan nodded, and then asked: "Do you have photos of Ayako and Kudo?"

"How could this happen?"

Takeshi Sakurai said.

"In that case, let's go to the Internet cafe first."

Gao Yuan suddenly suggested.

Everyone was confused about this, but they still found a nearby Internet cafe and rented an entire suite. Then, Gao Yuan began to use the computer in the Internet cafe to invade the network of the apartment rented by Shinichiro Yamazaki.

"Which specific room is your house? What is your online account?"

Gao Yuan asked Yamazaki. After Yamazaki gave a brief explanation, Gao Yuan followed the network and invaded Yamazaki's computer, and then checked the surveillance inside the room connected to the computer.

"Amazing!"

Mizushima Kanae exclaimed.

"With this level of hacking, are you really a detective?"

Shinichiro Yamazaki asked after seeing that his computer had been hacked after just a moment.

"Of course, I am a serious detective, the kind recognized by all the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Gao Yuan said, and then brought up the surveillance footage inside Yamazaki's house, so everyone saw the men who were looking back and forth in Yamazaki's house at the moment.

"These are Kudo's little brothers."

Takeshi Sakurai pointed at the person on the screen and said confirmingly.

"Which one is Kudo?"

Gao Yuan asked, and by the way, he pulled out the surveillance pictures one by one for Takeshi Sakurai to confirm.

Then, in one scene, Sakurai Takeshi pointed to the back of a man with a shaved head sitting on the sofa and said: "This should be Kudo."

"Really, if it weren't for you, Kudo and the others wouldn't have discovered my home."

Shinichiro Yamazaki looked at the picture where his home was being rummaged around by a group of outsiders, and he angrily scolded Takeshi Sakurai.

"If they discover the secret room, I will be completely doomed!"

"It's not you who is going to die. Now in their eyes, Mr. Sakurai is the killer Kondo."

Gao Yuan named him.

"Hey! What do you mean!"

Hearing what Takato said, Sakurai Takeshi said in a panic.

Ignoring Sakurai Takeshi, Takato began to move forward the timeline of the picture of Kudo with his back to the monitor until he found a picture of Kudo from the front.

This is a small man with extremely short hair. Compared to the tall boy next to him, it is really surprising that this man is actually the leader of the Yakuza.

After extracting the front-facing images of all the Yakuza characters who appeared in Yamazaki's home, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said: "It's not an option to let them search it like this. I'm afraid your secret room will be discovered."

"That's right. That secret room must not be discovered, otherwise the lives of all those who have escaped in the past eight years will be in danger!"

Yamazaki said with conviction.

"In that case, now we have to find a way to lure people away."

Takato said, started thinking, and then looked at Sakurai Takeshi aside——

"Mr. Sakurai, I heard that you are an actor, right?"

Gao Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a problem for you to act in a play, right?"

At Shinichiro Yamazaki's home, a group of people searched for a long time but found no clues. One of them walked up to Kudo who was sitting on the sofa and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Kudo, they haven't come back, and there are no clues here. Let's continue." what to do?"

"Keep looking."

Kudo said silently, "Kondo ran in such a hurry, I don't believe there is nothing left here."

At this time, Kudo's cell phone rang.

"Hello...huh?"

Listening to the call from his subordinates on the other end of the phone, Kudo couldn't help but wonder: "Now?"

"Yes! Kondo and that woman must be here..."

On the other end of the phone, the subordinate responsible for monitoring Ayako reported the report and showed the eavesdropped content to Kudo:

"Don't hurt my son! Ah——"

A woman's scream came from the bug. Upon hearing this, Kudo immediately stood up and ordered everyone: "Go to that woman immediately!"

So, everyone followed Kudo and left Yamazaki's apartment and went to the residence of President Iwaki's lover, Inoue Ayako.

Arriving here, Kudo rushed into the house with a few younger brothers——

Looking around, he saw a woman with messy hair lying in a pool of blood. There were several bleeding marks on her abdomen. The smell of blood was heavy in the room.

At the table nearby, Takeshi Sakurai was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette with his head raised, looking at the people who came in silently. His face and body were covered with blood.

"It came at the right time."

With an indifferent tone, he blew out smoke.

"I was just about to call you."

After a pause, Sakurai Takeshi leaned forward and looked at everyone without mercy.

"Kudo-nii. Finishing a job is like completing a piece of art."

The situation at the scene and the indifferent tone shocked everyone present.

"I have my own way of doing things. How to gain the trust of others, how to get her to reveal where she hides her money... everything is going according to my plan. And, thanks to your idiot minions, all plans were disrupted. ”

With that said, Sakurai Takeshi stood up, shook the ashes, then stubbed out the unburned cigarette directly in the ashtray, took out a red handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the blood on his hands.

"This operation is not perfect!"

His tone suddenly changed from indifferent to angry, and he threw the handkerchief aside.

"I didn't want to touch the child, but I had no choice."

Hearing this, Kudo silently looked towards the child's bedroom, only to see another figure lying across the bed in a pool of blood, and then silently walked back to Takeshi Sakurai.

"I can only use the child to force her to reveal where the money is hidden. It's all your fault!"

Suddenly, when he said "It's all your fault," Takeshi Sakurai's words turned into a roar.

"Then...where is the money?"

After being shocked by the roar for a long time, Kudo finally regained his composure. Then he seemed a little timid, but still asked.

"This is where the money is hidden."

Taking out a notebook from his pocket and placing it on the table, Sakurai Takeshi said, "President Iwaki changed the money into a gemstone and stored it in the vault of Mihua City Bank. This is the passage to enter the vault. The passwords are all written down.”

A little trembling, Kudo took the notebook and opened it. Looking at the detailed route map and methods to avoid surveillance, Kudo was a little unbelievable.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one can imagine that the huge amount of money that President Iwaki embezzled from the bank is hidden in this bank. What a good idea."

Takeshi Sakurai showed a sad look and sighed, "Brother Kudo, my work is done."

"Then...this scene..."

Kudo asked, pointing to the two corpses in the room.

"You don't have to worry about it. After all, I'm Kondo."

Sakurai Takeshi said, "But this time I killed one more person and caused me so much trouble. The commission fee will be doubled."

"This...must be!"

After Kudo finished speaking, he immediately left here in a hurry with his men, and then drove to Mihua City Bank.

Watching Kudo and others leave, the two people lying on the ground finally stood up - Inoue Ayako was right, but the person Kudo thought was a child was actually Mizushima Kanae.

"Is this all right?"

Inoue Ayako asked tremblingly, "Also, Iwaki, is he really..."

"Fake!"

Seeing Kudo and others leaving, Sakurai Takeshi began to tremble with fear all over.

"That map is a trap."

Mizushima Kanae said with certainty, "As long as they go over and open the bank vault now, the police will be able to arrest them all on the spot for bank theft!"
