Everyone instinctively looked towards the staircase.
A dashing woman appeared before them.
Ryuzaki Makoto laughed.
When did Saeko come back?
The person who arrived was none other than Saeko Kirishima.
After Saeko went upstairs, she didn't look at Ryuzaki Makoto right away, but walked straight to Matsui Hiroshi with a cold look in her eyes.
"Matsui Hiroshi, coming to my jurisdiction to summon a law-abiding citizen, isn't that a bit too irregular?"
Matsui Hiroshi narrowed his eyes, looking at Kirishima Saeko in front of him.
To him, her beautiful and charming face was somewhat repulsive.
This impolite woman! I am so much older than you, and I am your senior in the police force. How dare you call me by my name?
Matsui Hiroshi's tone also carried a hint of official jargon and displeasure.
"Deputy Chief Saeko Kirishima, as a colleague in the police system, I hope you can show the respect due to your seniors, and I also hope that what you want to do is worthy of the rank you hold!"
When Matsui Hiroshi saw Saeko appear at this critical juncture, he naturally assumed that she and Ryuzaki Makoto had some kind of illicit affair.
This was something he had suspected before.
That's why he subtly warned Saeko not to play with fire and get burned.
However, Saeko's warning to him was utterly merciless.
"I want to reiterate that cross-regional investigations are against regulations! The Kowloon Group's false accusations against Mr. Ryuzaki have been investigated by our Chengnan Police Station. This case will now be handled entirely by our Chengnan Police Station. As for the final outcome, our Chengnan Police will announce it to the public as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing Saeko's airtight words, Matsui Hiroshi immediately realized that things were getting complicated.
If we strictly follow the case-handling procedures, cases that cross regions should indeed be handled by the police station in the area where the crime occurred.
Previously, the two leaders of DOUBT were forcibly taken away from the South Seongnam Police Station by himself by exploiting a loophole in this rule.
I never expected that retribution would come so quickly.
Matsui Hiroshi gave Saeko a deep look and said in a solemn tone.
"Young man, you are still inexperienced. You don't understand the intricacies of this matter. Hu Yaliu's situation is very turbulent, and it's not something a mere deputy director like you can handle."
Saeko smiled upon hearing this, looking at Matsui Hiroshi with no fear in her eyes.
"I remember when I was a child, my father would always take me to the countryside to fish in the summer. You know what? My father would always say one thing to me back then."
Saeko spoke clearly, staring into the other person's eyes, word by word.
"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"
Matsui Hiroshi stared intently at Saeko before him, and after a long while, he slowly spoke.
"Then I wish Deputy Director Saeko all the best in resolving this matter."
After saying that, Matsui Hiroshi turned around and left with his large group of police officers without looking back.
After Matsui Hiroshi left, Ryuzaki Mako smiled and was about to say a few words to Saeko.
Saeko, however, took out a summons stamped with the official seal of the Jonan Police Station from her bosom and handed it directly to Ryuzaki Makoto.
"Mr. Ryuzaki Makoto, we have received a formal complaint from the Kowloon Group alleging that you are involved in the mass disappearance of 563 people on Nameless Street. Please come with me to the police station to cooperate with our investigation..."
...
Chengnan Police Station, interrogation room.
In the interrogation room, only Ryuzaki Mako and Saeko were present.
Ryuzaki Mako sat leisurely opposite Saeko, whose pretty face was cold for some reason, and the temperature in the entire interrogation room seemed to drop a few degrees because of it.
Saeko opened the notebook and asked in a businesslike manner.
"Name."
Ryuzaki Makoto replied with a smile.
"husband."
"Bang!"
Saeko slammed her hand on the table and glared at him.
"Mr. Ryuzaki Makoto! Please be serious! This is an interrogation, not flirting!"
Ryuzaki shrugged, somewhat speechless.
"Don't you already know my name?"
Saeko took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"gender."
Ryuzaki raised an eyebrow.
What's wrong with this woman today? Did she take the wrong medicine?
Without saying a word, he stood up from his chair, walked around the interrogation table, and went to Saeko.
Then, ignoring her struggles, he picked her up by the waist, put her on his lap, and held her tightly in his arms.
"Sweetie, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Saeko knew that Ryuzaki Makoto would definitely not cooperate with the interrogation.
So before she came in, she had already turned off all the surveillance cameras in the interrogation room.
Feeling the warmth and familiar scent emanating from Ryuzaki Mako's chest, Saeko's icy expression finally softened a bit.
"Do you know what will happen to you if you actually go with Matsui Hiroshi today?"
Ryuzaki said somewhat indifferently.
"It's nothing more than being tortured into confessing, dying in prison without a clear explanation, and then being labeled as committing suicide out of guilt. It's a small matter."
Saeko's expression turned sour again when she heard Ryuzaki Mako's nonchalant words.
"Since you knew that, you still dared to go with them?!"
Ryuzaki Masato wanted to say that he still had one last trump card.
Even if you get arrested, so what?
As long as I get Xia Zhi to reveal the contents of that USB drive, all problems will be solved.
Just as Ryuzaki was about to say something, he suddenly felt a warm, wet sensation on his chest.
He looked down and found Saeko in his arms, crying softly.
"Ryuzaki Makoto…you're all I have in my life now…" Saeko sobbed softly against his chest, her words broken and fragmented. "Takano and Hirai, they must have killed you in prison using the same methods…If something happens to you again…what…what will I do…"
Ryuzaki Makoto was initially a little annoyed, but upon hearing Saeko's words, his gaze softened instantly.
So, she got so angry because she was so worried about herself.
Ryuzaki Mako reached out and gently patted Saeko's back, softly comforting her.
After Saeko calmed down a bit, Ryuzaki Makoto told her in detail about his subsequent plans and what kind of world-destroying content was on the USB drive he had given to Kaori.
After listening, Saeko finally understood.
Ryuzaki wasn't being reckless; he had already planned ahead.
She looked up and pinched Ryuzaki Makoto's waist hard.
"Who gave you permission to meet with that Asano Kaori in private!"
Forehead...
Ryuzaki was speechless for a moment.
At this point, should you be focusing your attention here?
However, Saeko wiped away her tears and said again.
"However, I know that woman's personality. Since she promised to help you, she will definitely do it."
Just then, Saeko suddenly raised her head and kissed her.
Ryuzaki Makoto readily accepted.
"Snap!"
Just as the two were locked in a passionate kiss, the sound of a phone shutter clicking suddenly rang out in the interrogation room.
Saeko pulled out her phone from somewhere and clearly captured the scene of the two kissing.
Ryuzaki asked, somewhat puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
Saeko carefully saved the photos, then got off Ryuzaki Makoto and straightened her slightly disheveled clothes.
"You don't need to worry about this. Okay, you can go back now. I'll write the case closure notice myself."
"And Ryuzaki Makoto, you remember this! If anything like today happens again, you must call me immediately! If you keep everything from me like today, I'll..."
As Saeko spoke, she held up two fingers and made a scissor gesture.
Ryuzaki Makoto suddenly felt a chill in his groin and could only give an awkward laugh.
Then, he stepped forward and said.
"Saeko, I've been quite busy lately. I'll spend more time with you after this period is over."
Saeko understood that Ryuzaki Makoto was facing off against the powerful Kowloon Group, and she herself had just returned to Seongnam and had a lot of things to deal with at the police station, so she really didn't have much time to think about things between men and women.
Ryuzaki Makoto went up and gently hugged Saeko again, then turned and left the interrogation room.
After Ryuzaki Makoto walked out of the police station, Kirisawa Jin was already waiting for him in his car at the entrance.
After Ryuzaki Makoto got into the car, the warmth on his face vanished instantly, replaced by coldness.
"Have you found Yuan Hui's address?"
Kirisawa Jin nodded heavily, then said in a deep voice.
"We found it. The Yuanhui's stronghold is in an abandoned military base, surrounded by sentries, both visible and hidden, as well as professional counter-sniper positions. There is even radar and thermal imaging surveillance. Our people were almost discovered even when they were watching from a distance."
Ryuzaki nodded.
The source must be eliminated.
There is such a top-notch assassin organization hidden in the shadows, which is a huge threat to himself and those around him.
However, before that, we still need to upgrade our equipment again.
Ryuzaki asked the question that he most wanted to know right now.
"Have you made contact with Li? What did he say?"
"That's what Jin Kirisawa replied."
He said he would give us an answer by tomorrow at the latest...
...
A luxurious private yacht is slowly sailing on the high seas, hundreds of nautical miles from Japan.
Inside the top-floor luxury suite, a young voice, trembling with sobs, was pleading desperately.
"Father! Please trust me one more time! This time, it's definitely a golden opportunity for us to make a comeback..."
