They had a conflict with the FBI agent who happened to be visiting with Uncle Kudo, as well as the guards in our hospital building, and at one point they approached my ward.
Although we finally eliminated this group of terrorists, all the FBI agents died in a very tragic way. This is undoubtedly a sad thing, and the Karasuma Group will definitely compensate for this.
In addition, in addition to the assault from the building, this group of terrorists also arranged a sniper to try to kill me directly from outside the building.
Fortunately, Uncle Kudo noticed the presence of the sniper in the opposite building in time and pushed me away at the last critical moment.
Although the sniper was forced back by the guards who arrived later, Uncle Kudo was unfortunately shot. The bullet went straight through his chest, causing him to die on the spot. I am... heartbroken about this.
The above is what happened in this hospital building today.
Then, you take the credentials of these agents and go to the FBI headquarters building to meet their director in my name, and tell him exactly what happened here according to what I said.
He must understand that I was able to survive this crisis today only because of his orders. If those agents had not been here, I would have been in great danger. At the same time, the Karasuma Group will soon give him the corresponding rewards.
In addition, you must ask him to give you the files of the agents who came here today. Then you can find their families based on their files, tell them what happened today, and give each family $500,000 in compensation. Let them know that their husbands and children died to protect me after fighting terrorists. They are heroes. "
"Master Rui, what should I do if the director of the FBI refuses to hand over the files of these agents?" The maid asked as she helped Bai He Rui put on a shirt.
"As long as it's in my name, he will definitely give it. Moreover, we have already shown a friendly enough attitude. If he still refuses, it can only mean..."
That only means that you and Kudo Yusaku are the same kind of people.
"That's really...unworthy of respect."
"If that's the case, then come back. I'll deal with this matter later."
"Yes."
"Of course, this possibility is extremely small, so you don't have to worry too much."
In this plan, Shirakawa Rui never regarded "killing Kudo Yusaku" as the focus. What really bothered him was "how to reasonably eliminate the impact of Kudo Yusaku's death."
After all, in essence, Kudo Yusaku is just a normal human being who is powerless.
Even his twin sister, who was proficient in all kinds of firearms and close combat and had a terrifying sense of crisis like a spider's sense, could be killed by a sneak attack when she was careless and let her guard down, let alone Kudo Yusaku who had no fighting ability at all.
Any bullet could easily kill him.
What has always made people wary of Kudo Yusaku is his huge network of connections; even Interpol is connected to him.
It’s hard to imagine that a novelist could have such a wide network of contacts. It’s really incredible.
These connections gave Kudo Yusaku considerable power. If he was simply killed, it would inevitably arouse suspicion among those in his network of connections and bring about some unnecessary trouble.
For this, Baihe Rui had already found a perfect solution.
It's true that you have connections, but I do too, and they are deeper and broader than yours.
First of all, we need to make Kudo Yusaku’s death logical, and we can’t let him die in an irrelevant way by assassination.
Secondly, we must eliminate all relevant insiders who may have leaked the information, leaving no evidence, and keep the right to tell the story of this incident firmly in our own hands.
Then I have to do the whole play and not leave any room for criticism. Since you died to protect me, I naturally have to compensate you to express my gratitude, no less, all.
Finally, we must not forget all the people in Kudo Yusaku’s network of contacts who might be involved in this matter, such as the director of the FBI.
It was thanks to you that I was able to get through the crisis today. You have done us a favor, and I will certainly repay you generously. If there is anything you need help with in the future, the Karasuma Group will certainly help you to the best of its ability.
With this series of moves, you have both face and substance. We have praised you highly enough, so it’s time for you to be sensible.
From the perspective of the FBI director, here's what happened today:
Kudo Yusaku's good friend suspected that there was something wrong with the Karasuma Group, so he asked him for some people to serve as bodyguards and went to investigate. After some questioning, he found that not only was there no problem with the Karasuma Group, but it was actually a good group of people!
Afterwards, a group of terrorists attacked the hospital building, and his good friend Kudo Yusaku died in order to protect his nephew, and all the FBI agents who went there also died.
Although this matter seemed quite strange, Master Rui from the Karasuma Group was a very good person. Not only did he send someone to tell him the truth of the matter in detail as soon as possible, he also attributed all the credit for the incident to him, which was a respectful act.
In the end, there was even a promise from the Karasuma Group. You have to know that with the power of the Karasuma Group in the American political circles, their promise is of extraordinary weight. This is a sign of goodwill.
Now, both the face and the substance have been given. If it were you, even if you felt that there was something wrong with this matter, would you continue to investigate?
Please, in the United States, for those who have made it to our position, who would talk to you about justice or injustice? The most important things are the benefits you can get and your own career!
Chapter 601 Then, he killed Karasuma Renya
In this matter, the wisest choice for the FBI director is to follow the path given by Shirakawa Rui. He will not lose either face or money.
But if he really went crazy and refused Bai He Rui's kindness and insisted on getting to the bottom of this matter, then he would really be like what Bai He Rui said - he doesn't know how to appreciate a favor.
The title of director sounds very impressive and powerful, and ordinary people would tremble when they hear it.
But in the eyes of the masters in Congress, in the hands of those truly powerful people in power behind the American empire, you are at best just a thug leader.
There are so many people staring at you below. If you don't sit well in this position, someone else will naturally come to sit here.
As for you, just pick any scandal during your tenure, whether it's accepting bribes, having extramarital affairs, or even abusing Heini.
These things will be publicized in public, and your masters don't even have to take action. The next day, you will have to resign and leave. Then, on a dark and windy night, you will be "accidentally" killed by thieves who break into your house to steal.
As for trying to persuade another master to get involved in this matter, Bai He Rui can only say... don't be stupid.
There are only so many people who are qualified to sit at the dining table. How dare you, a servant standing outside the door, run into the room and stir up trouble in the ears of other masters?
Not to mention that you don't have any actual evidence at all, even if the master you found really believed you and wanted to cause a little trouble to the Karasuma Group.
Then when this matter is over, you will still die, and your family will die with you without a burial place.
The masters have always had their own solutions to their problems. A servant who dares to play tricks like "borrowing someone's strength against you" among his masters, even if one of the masters who is really hostile to the Karasuma Group is interested in getting involved, he will definitely not protect you afterwards.
What? Didn't I help him? Didn't I come to him for help? Why wouldn't he protect me?
Because you are restless.
You don't put yourself in the right position. You are not the one sitting at the table, you are merely the one standing outside the door.
Today you come to join me and help me cause a little trouble for the Karasuma Group, but who can guarantee that after you know my internal secrets tomorrow, you will not run off to join other masters and cause trouble for me in turn?
A servant like you who is restless and doesn't know his place should be dragged out and beaten to death after he has played that little value and added that little fun. I'll replace him with someone who is more sensible and obedient. Wouldn't he be better than you?
So I say again, to be honest, the masters are not clean, but they have their own internal solutions to the problems between them. If you, an outsider, dare to interfere, you are simply seeking death.
So now, facing the rare goodwill shown by Mr. Rui from the Karasuma Group, will you accept it or not?
From the beginning, this was not a multiple-choice question.
As for Yusaku Kudo?
My friend, have a pleasant journey.
Your death will bring me a bright future.
What? You mean friendship?
Don’t be silly, can friendship be as important as my career?
Well, we can also be less materialistic... In other words, can friendship be more important than my own life?
If I don't accept Master Rui's kindness, I'll die. At worst, when I get promoted, I can help you take care of your wife and children. This will also be worthy of our friendship...
From the very beginning, Shirakawa Rui saw through the fatal weakness of Kudo Yusaku's so-called huge energy.
Kudo Yusaku himself does not have any power. The connections he has relied on until now were all built up through the relationships between him and those people.
This kind of connection could indeed play a role while he was still alive, but once he died, this kind of connection would shrink and collapse at an alarming speed. Bai He Rui only needed to touch it lightly to shatter them in an instant, and at no cost.
We are all shrewd people. In the face of naked interests, no one would be willing to risk their own life or even the life of their family for a dead person, even if the dead person was indeed a good friend of theirs when he was alive.
It is for this reason that Shirakawa Rui had no scruples about killing Kudo Yusaku.
Because as soon as you die, all the things you relied on in your life will lose their use in an instant.
In Shirakawa Rui's eyes, Kudo Yusaku is essentially no different from those ants...
"Master Rui, what should we do with his body?"
In the ward, the maid who had already changed Shirakawa Rui's clothes asked.
What she was referring to, of course, was the body of Kudo Yusaku lying on the ground next to her.
Bai Herui glanced at it casually, then took out his cell phone and replied, "After you finish dealing with the FBI, find someone to cremate it. Remember to find a good cemetery.
I will go and pay my respects after I finish what I am doing."
"Don't you need to worry about his family?" the maid asked tentatively.
She was worried that if he was cremated so soon, it might be difficult to handle if his family came to claim the body.
"No need."
Hearing the maid's question, Baihe Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.
"His body will not be claimed by his family."
By some unknown coincidence, an urgent news report happened to be shown on his mobile phone screen at that moment.
[It is reported that at around 8 o'clock this morning, a civil aviation flight from Tokyo, Japan to Washington, my country lost contact on the North Pacific coast. There were 120 passengers on the flight yesterday... Currently, the governments of our country and Japan are actively conducting a joint search. Please... The above is this report. This station will continue to follow up on the progress of the subsequent investigation...]
"They acted really quickly."
After taking a look at the number of the missing civil aviation plane in the news, Bai He Rui put away his phone and said something in a low voice.
That’s right, the missing civil aviation plane is the flight that Yukiko Kudo will take back to the United States today.
Before Yoko Okino came to the United States, Shirakawa Rui once asked her to find someone to take care of Kudo Yukiko as well.
It just so happened that Kudo Yusaku was worried that Yukiko would be in danger if she continued to stay in Japan, and wanted her to return to the United States as soon as possible.
Since everyone has related needs, we decided to do it on the plane.
Yoko Okino had told him before that she had asked a member of the organization code-named Gin, who was known for his brutality in Japan, to handle the matter and to ensure that both the person and the plane would disappear at the same time.
Now it seems to be true. It is estimated that weapons such as bombs were used to cause the plane to crash directly into the vast Pacific Ocean.
Given the search and rescue efficiency of the United States and Japan, let’s not talk about whether they can find it. Even if they do find it, most of the survivors will be dead.
"Okay, the rest is up to you."
Without thinking any more about it, Shirakawa Rui, who had already changed his clothes, said these words to the maid, then turned and left the ward.
At the same time on the other side of the United States, Shirakawa Qing also noticed the news broadcast on the car radio.
"Baihe, what's wrong?"
In the passenger seat, wearing a seat belt, Miyano Shiho, who looked no more than six or seven years old, turned her head and looked at him.
