Chapter 156 Scammer
Confused and disbelieving, Chen Huijie, Kirigiri Shimizu, and Mizusawa Ryo didn't know how to react to the system's task at first.
The situation is dire now. According to the order of the system's tasks, they should infiltrate first and then carry out the assassination.
But all three of them wanted to rely on a card bug to trick each other, causing the situation to spiral out of control. However, the system did not adjust the pace of task distribution.
Mizusawa Ryo's gaze pierced through the crowd, looking at Fujiwara Mieko, who was heavily protected. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Fujiwara Mieko was also looking at her, her eyes full of confusion. She still couldn't figure out what these people were up to. Standing behind Souichiro didn't give her any sense of security; her mind was in a complete haze.
"Surrender now, or we'll start shooting!" The head of the investigation team pointed his gun at Mizusawa Ryo. His right eye had turned blue, like a panda's eye, from being punched by Mizusawa Ryo earlier. It made this middle-aged man of authority look quite ridiculous.
Around them, people were sprawled in all directions, some covering their faces, some covering their eyes. They had all been knocked down by Mizusawa Ryo's punches during the chaotic fight.
Mizusawa Ryo had not used lethal force during the fight just now. Members of the serious crime unit would not shoot first without a life-threatening situation, but the situation was different from what they had expected. The woman in front of them was too skilled in combat.
Mizusawa Ryo's eyes darted around, and her voice grew louder:
"Who are you all? I am from the Special Affairs Bureau, Mizusawa Ryo. I received intelligence that a terrorist organization intends to assassinate the Congressman Fujiwara Mieko, so I came to secretly protect her."
After saying this, she took out her identification from her pocket and tossed it over.
The head of the serious crime unit was also baffled. He caught the identification in mid-air and handed it to his assistant for verification.
"..." Fujiwara Mieko watched her performance without saying a word.
She thought Mizusawa Ryo was more suitable to be a politician than her. Just based on her ability to talk nonsense in front of the person involved, she had limitless prospects in the political arena.
The assistant quickly hung up the phone and said to him, "Captain Kiryu, after confirming her identity, she is indeed a member of the Special Affairs Bureau."
Captain Kiryu narrowed his eyes, immediately feeling a sharp pain in his right eye. He waved his hand to the others, who then lowered their guns.
"My name is Kiryuu Ryo, the chief of the sixth group of the Metropolitan Police Department's special investigation division. Can you please tell us what you know?"
Kiryuu Ryo spoke to Mizusawa Ryo while discreetly glancing at Fujiwara Mieko, waiting for her reaction.
He was feeling uneasy as well. Although the special department is part of the Metropolitan Police Department, it is actually an independent unit with the authority to coordinate their actions for certain reasons, making it effectively his superior unit.
On the other hand, Fujiwara Mieko comes from a prominent political family and is currently a rising star in politics.
Kiryuu Ryo felt nothing but chaos and disorder.
Meanwhile, Mizusawa Ryo was crafting a story in her mind when a cold female voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
"Because someone among us wants to assassinate Miss Fujiwara Mieko."
Everyone turned to see Kirigiri Shimizu and Chen Huijie standing at the door.
"... Kiryuu Ryo's mouth twitched. Having learned his lesson from before, he dared not act rashly. "And who might you be?"
"Special Affairs Bureau, Kirigiri Shimizu." Kirigiri Shimizu's expression was indifferent, and her voice was firm and resolute.
Chen Huijie stood to the side, bowing her head slightly. She didn't expect Kirigiri Shimizu to appear nonchalantly in front of everyone.
This elegant and confident policewoman simply stood here, showcasing her extraordinary acting skills.
Mizusawa Ryo, upon seeing Kirigiri Shimizu's arrival, immediately thought of rushing forward and fighting desperately.
But after taking a step, she held back. It wasn't because she prioritized the bigger picture, but rather because she knew that without any skills at the moment, rushing in would only be futile. So, she chose to exercise restraint for now.
Fujiwara Mieko also stared at Kirigiri Shimizu with wide eyes. Since the control room had been bombed, she had no evidence.
It was her who sent someone to attack Kirigiri Shimizu's child.
Today, she set the fire, used a bomb, and even drove to crash the door. And now, she appeared here so boldly. What exactly does she mean?
Facing Fujiwara Mieko's glaring eyes, Kirigiri Shimizu's expression remained unchanged.
"Fujiwara Mieko case, don't be afraid, our special agency will protect your safety."
"Breaking into a senator's house, does your special agency consider the law irrelevant?"
Fujiwara Mieko felt uneasy and helpless for a moment. The two of them had no connection in their public identities, and the assassination could not be discussed openly.
"We have received intelligence that the mastermind behind tonight's event, the joker, is a wanted criminal responsible for killing over three hundred members of the Bamboo Union," said Kirigiri Shimizu in a cold voice, with an unmistakable tone.
Fujiwara Mieko felt a surge of anger. The Bamboo Union was under her authority, and the special agency was wrongly accusing her of annihilating her own people and creating a fictitious joker to scapegoat her.
"Phew..." Fujiwara Mieko took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She knew that arguing with Kirigiri Shimizu here would be pointless. As a politician, it was better to say less and avoid mistakes.
"Well then, Miss Kirigiri Shimizu, please proceed."
After saying that, she walked away without looking back, her face returning to its usual warm smile.
Outside, there are reporters. Today, after such an attack, she needs to face the reporters and begin to act, seizing every opportunity to establish her image and increase exposure, which is the foundation of a qualified politician.
Hurryingly, Kiryuu Ryo said, "Since it's a Special Affairs Bureau case, our Serious Crime Unit won't interfere."
It's embarrassing for different departments to handle the case, but Kiryuu Ryo instinctively feels that the situation is very complicated. He can't grasp it, and at this moment, it's already embarrassing.
"Sorry, Akira, the attack on the Fujiwara mansion and the report received by the Special Affairs Bureau are not the same thing." However, Fujiwara Mieko doesn't want the Serious Crime Unit to leave. For her, the murkier the waters, the safer she feels: "I entrust my safety to all the members of the Serious Crime Unit."
The event of the dramatic infiltration temporarily comes to an end. Fujiwara Mieko stands in front of the collapsed gate, facing the reporters, speaking passionately during the interview, stating that no matter what kind of threat she faces, she will not waver in her political aspirations to change the country and seek welfare for the youth.
Kiryuu Ryo pretends to stand around with his men, while starting to search for clues left by the terrorists.
But the progress is slow, and he fears that if he truly finds the clues, he will be dragged into a terrible situation.
"You, putting a tracker in my body!" Mizusawa Ryo approached Kirigiri Shimizu when nobody was around, and questioned sharply.
Kirigiri Shimizu didn't bother to respond.
"Let's not fight," Chen Huijie quickly intervened, "we are natural allies and should help each other."
"Oh?" Mizusawa Ryo looked at Chen Huijie. They had no prior interaction, only saw each other's names in the system.
"Alright, I think we need to cooperate. What's the next step?"
Seeing an opportunity, Mizusawa Ryo immediately agreed. With a tracker in her body and no skills, it would be difficult to go solo. She was willing to collaborate.
