Chapter 726: Haibara Ai disappears
—————June 11, 1:15 p.m.——————
—————Tokyo City, Xiangyuan Universal Office—————
"You mean, the gangsters in Kamurocho kidnapped a criminal and tried to have him use a sniper rifle to shoot Makoto Kusakabe, a prosecutor from the Ministry of Public Security, who was riding the Shinkansen?"
Xiang Yuanguang repeated what Gui Yueying had just said, then he frowned and realized that things were not simple.
His relationship with Kusakabe Makoto was not very close; at best they were just acquaintances and had met each other a few times.
Earlier, during the investigation stage of the [Diplomat Murder Case], Kusakabe Makoto was the original prosecutor of the case. Later, when the trial began, he was replaced by Dante, a prosecutor from the United States and a classmate of Xiang Yuan.
But in the short time they had met, he could feel that Kusakabe Makoto was different from other prosecutors from the Ministry of Public Security. He paid more attention to truth and justice rather than simply using any means to get the defendant convicted.
————So, why was Makoto Kusakabe kidnapped by the underworld organization in Kamurocho?
Even if it was the follow-up impact of the diplomat murder case, the Tojo Clan should have looked for Dante. Why would they look for Kusakabe Makoto, the former acting prosecutor who did not even attend the trial?
Does Kusakabe Makoto have a grudge against the people of Tojo Clan?
"Yes, to be precise, they kidnapped a criminal who is quite talented in shooting to be used as a sniper."
"If you have heard anything about Mr. Kusakabe's actions, you will know that Mr. Kusakabe has always been committed to personally fighting crime, and has personally investigated information and dealt with criminals more than once."
"As a well-known underworld organization in the Kanto region, the Tojo Clan is naturally within the scope of Mr. Kusakabe's crackdown."
"The people arrested this time are members of the Tojo Clan's underworld organization, the Oni-Tiger Group. They claim that they wanted to retaliate against Mr. Kusakabe because the Oni-Tiger Group was almost wiped out by Prosecutor Kusakabe."
"According to the investigation and questioning by the Japanese Public Security Bureau, the firearms and sniper rifles carried by the remaining members of the Ghost Tiger Group were all provided by the Tojo Clan, and the mastermind who ordered them to kill Mr. Kusakabe was the current president of the Tojo Clan, Sera Masaru."
Gui Yueying's voice is very soft, but her pronunciation is clear so people can hear it very clearly.
"However, the Tojo Clan said that the guns had nothing to do with the Tojo Clan, and Sera Masaru even said that this was absolutely not the case."
"Then the Japanese police forcibly arrested Sera Masaru, and the Tojo Clan passed the news to the news media, creating public opinion, but public opinion was biased towards the leader of the underworld organization... Therefore, the Tojo Clan said that it would invite the best lawyer to appear in court."
"Mr. Xiangyuan, the Tojo Clan has already gone to the Honchidai area to look for Attorney Gu Meimen."
"But when Attorney Gu Meimen heard that it was a defense for a public security incident, he directly refused to sue. Now, they will most likely come to ask you to defend the current president of the Tojo Clan, Sera Masaru, in court."
————Defending Sera Masaru? Me? Really?
There was a hint of surprise in Xiang Yuanguang's eyes.
Although this matter is indeed outrageous, it must be said that given the divided image of the East City Society, it is quite normal for any group within it to come up with such a thing and try to drag Shi Liangsheng into it.
Besides, he had a very bad impression of the Dongcheng Society. Not only were they unreliable, but there was another thing...
How to put it, a guy in a not-so-good mental state is chasing him to play Mortal Kombat, and he appears randomly on the roadside. It may not be too outrageous for him to take this case that even Kumimoto wouldn't take.
"I don't pick it up."
The hedgehog-haired lawyer shook his head and answered simply.
"Although I'm not very familiar with the Japanese public security, I know that there is a fairly reliable Japanese public security officer who has begun to handle various public security incidents. If he thinks there is no problem, then there is probably really no problem."
"Otherwise, it shouldn't be you who told me about this, but he who told me." ———— Is there a relatively reliable Japanese public security officer among the Japanese public security officers? Who is he?
Gui Yueying blinked in confusion, not knowing who Xiang Yuanguang was referring to.
It can be said that she has almost no contact with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and her understanding of the Japanese Public Security Bureau is only slightly better than that of ordinary citizens, but her evaluation of them is not good. After all, the Japanese Public Security Bureau's memory recovery technique is very famous.
If it was the [Previous Generation Kizuki Prosecutor], maybe he would have some understanding of the Japanese Public Security Bureau...
Ding, ding, ding.
The cell phone suddenly rang at this moment.
Xiang Yuanguang took the phone out of his arms with some confusion, and then pressed the answer button.
Although he did not leave a mark on the phone number, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he knew who the person on the other end of the phone was - Teitan Elementary School's homeroom teacher, Sumiko Kobayashi.
Last time, he gave Mr. Kobayashi his business card, saying that if Teitan Elementary School had any criminal cases, they could contact him...
Why did he call at this time? Could it be that a criminal case really happened at Teitan Elementary School?
"Mr. Xiang Yuan! There is one thing I have to tell you now..."
Kobayashi Sumiko's voice was very anxious.
"Habara-san is missing! We couldn't find her after lunch break. My classmates and I looked everywhere for her but couldn't find her. We've called the police now!"
Xiang Yuanguang's brows frowned instantly.
What happened? Haibara Ai disappeared? And at this time?
However, hasn't the Black Organization already disappeared? Even if the Black Organization acted so quickly, how did they know the true identity of Haibara Ai and take her away quietly?
————Could it be related to the affairs of the Dongcheng Society?
The hedgehog-headed lawyer's expression was somewhat gloomy.
Seeing this scene, Gui Yueying was a little surprised, and she asked cautiously.
"Mr. Xiang Yuan, what's wrong? Are you having any trouble?"
"…The child who was staying with me disappeared from school."
Xiang Yuanguang replied in a bad mood.
Hearing this answer, the young prosecutor's face showed a bit of surprise.
Who on earth would have the time to kidnap the adopted child of a legendary Tokyo lawyer? Lawyer Xiang Yuan is obviously one of the poorest lawyers in Tokyo... A civilian lawyer would not ask for money from Lawyer Xiang Yuan, right?
Swish————
Xiang Yuanguang picked up the coffee, stood up, drank it all in one gulp, and then put the coffee cup on the table.
He said with a gloomy and serious expression.
"Sorry, Miss Guiyue, I have something to do now..."
"It's important to do."
