Ayanokoji Fugang possessed extremely high political power. When he publicized this matter, most of the Liberal Democratic Party's congressmen knew that his son had been kidnapped.
Even playing house has basic rules, let alone such a cruel political game. Not involving other people's families is a tacit unspoken rule.
Within the rules, anything goes, but no one can break the rules and overturn the table.
Who doesn't have private bodyguards to do dirty work? Harming other people's families is too unethical; no one would do it, and no one would dare to do it.
If you kidnap my child today, and I kidnap your child tomorrow, then how can we play? We might as well just overturn the table and stop playing.
Only the professor, his hatred for Ayanokoji Fugang was too deep, and he urgently wanted to bring him down, so he rushed to do the kidnapping, only to kidnap the wrong person.
But even so, he never thought of killing Ayanokoji at first; instead, he wanted him to help him by testifying.
"Ayanokoji Fugang already knows it was me?" The professor asked nervously.
"No, not yet. The three of us didn't communicate with anyone else when we did this. No one knows yet. Just now, my superior contacted me, asking if I was involved in this matter. I said I knew nothing about it and temporarily brushed him off."
Nakamura paused: "Now Ayanokoji Fugang is using the power of the police force to search, and I must rush over. If I don't go, they might become suspicious."
"Useless, truly useless!" The professor angrily cursed a few more times.
"Professor, what should we do now?" Nakamura suggested, "Should we kill him?"
"Kill me then. Anyway, the police will be here soon. We'll all die together then." Ayanokoji had already calmed down at this point.
The professor gave Ayanokoji a cold look and made up his mind: "I must kill him. He knows too many of my secrets. However, they can't die here. If they're going to die, it has to be somewhere else."
"Hagen, I have some things to deal with. They are yours to handle." The professor instructed, "You must handle it cleanly, and make sure no flaws are discovered."
"Understood, leave it to me." Hagen nodded: "I'm very skilled at this kind of thing."
"Hmm, you're the one I trust the most." The professor patted Hagen's shoulder with emotion: "Don't worry, if you handle this cleanly and don't involve me, I'll give you a bonus of ten million Japanese Yen."
Hagen's eyes flashed with excitement, then he nodded steadily: "I will do it very cleanly."
After they discussed, they began to act.
The professor stayed here to clean up the traces, while the driver and Nakamura left the institute for the meeting point. Hagen grabbed Ayanokoji with one hand and Ikishima Midari with the other, throwing them into the van.
Before putting the two in the car, Hagen was careful to smash and discard all the personal belongings on Ayanokoji and Ikishima Midari.
He smashed Ikishima Midari's phone and Ayanokoji's watch, then broke all the bank cards in Ayanokoji's wallet and put the cash in his pocket.
He drove Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to the outskirts of Tokyo, looking for a place to "kill and dump the body."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Ikishima Midari were both tied at the hands, leaning against each other.
This time was different from before; they were genuinely intent on killing.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka whispered, "Shishimou... I'm sorry, I've implicated you."
"This was my own choice. I chose not to get out of the car at the time."
"Why didn't you leave then? You could have left."
Ikishima Midari glanced at Ayanokoji: "Isn't it for you? I was worried that if I left, they would just find a place to dig a pit and bury you, and by the time I called the police and arrived, it would be too late! It's not easy for me to have a boyfriend, and I don't want him to just die for no reason!"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was stunned.
...Was Ikishima Midari not leaving for his sake?
Indeed, if Ikishima Midari had left and called the police after getting out of the car, these people might very well have killed him beforehand—just like now.
