Chapter 8 Chapter Eight "Black Beast"

After returning to Tokyo, Zuo Wenwen drove straight to the Metropolitan Police Department and met Yabe. The search headquarters was obviously a bit chaotic. "Just as you analyzed." Yabu's eyes were bloodshot, looking at the left character.He probably stayed up all night last night, and his anxiety is understandable. "Sure enough, the prisoners used the yacht. I also investigated the Oilpot Harbor according to your request..." "What happened to those two people who went to Tokyo Station to withdraw money?" "Continue to monitor and arrest them at any time."

Yabe handed Zuo Monica a cigarette. "It's better to arrest him immediately." Zuo Wenwen still said calmly. "Why? If you continue to follow them, you can find the place where Prime Minister Mita is imprisoned. Otherwise, if they are arrested, the rest of them might kill Prime Minister Mita." "No, neither." "why?" "Things have changed. The hijacking for money is over. The two men who went to Tokyo Station were tricked by their boss, Kanzaki, and also abandoned by the guy who seized the new initiative. They also don't know what the yacht is. There is no danger to them after arresting these two, and they will not kill Prime Minister Mita. For the new No. 0 plan, they still need Prime Minister Mita as a hostage."

"What? New Project Zero?" Yabe stared at Zuomon with burning eyes.He nervously wiped out the cigarette butt, only to see his hand constantly rubbing in the ashtray.Zuo Wenwen picked up the tea beside him and poured some into the ashtray. "Plan No. 0 has two contents from the very beginning. Kanzaki, Chitsuko, and the two people who went to Tokyo Station are for money. However, the other two people are different. Takata risked his life to come and report, it was No. 0 The latter part of the plan." "Then, what's the content?" "I don't know. If we can find out who these two people are, we can analyze the content of the specific plan, and maybe we can come up with countermeasures. Therefore, we must arrest the two people who went to Tokyo Railway Station immediately, and we need to ask them if there is something to do." , the sooner the better."

"But the Minister of Criminal Affairs ordered us to monitor carefully. You arrested those two people, can you guarantee the safety of Prime Minister Mita?" "I can't guarantee it. Because I'm not a criminal. However, the new leader ignores the life of Prime Minister Mita. So if the two people who went to Tokyo Station are not arrested, if they want to kill Prime Minister Mita, they can still be killed, and they should be arrested as soon as possible. it is good." The left character looked directly at Yabe.But Yabe was even more perplexed.Because this involves the life of a prime minister of a country.If it is not done well, the prime minister may be killed, Yabe will be held accountable, and the three criminal ministers will have to resign from the police chief.

"Make up your mind!" Zuo Wenwen urged, "If this delay continues, the police will usher in a new No. 0 plan without any preparation." "But..." Yabe shook his head in pain. At this time, a policeman was holding a phone headset and reported to him: "Police department, the car that the two prisoners were riding in was indeed stolen." "Okay, arrest them immediately!" Yabe finally made up his mind. A police car, painted black, suddenly sheds its camouflage. The red police lights on the roof roared and turned.Sakurai stepped on the accelerator vigorously and pulled on the siren.

"The other party may have a pistol, so be careful!" Sakurai reminded Suzuki who was sitting beside him.Suzuki nodded silently, and reached for the automatic pistol in his underwear pocket.Due to nervousness, his face turned pale, but his hands did not tremble. Suddenly, the car in front picked up speed.The police car started the pursuit. I have contacted the Kanagawa Police Department in advance, they will stop the car in front, we just need to follow behind and keep an eye on it. Fortunately, there was not much traffic on the road, and the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Department implemented traffic control in this area.A bicycle sped over from a small road, and fell to the side of the road due to its high speed.

Sakurai just looked there, still increasing the accelerator.The pointer of the speedometer points to 100-110-120. Suddenly, there was a sharp curve ahead, Sakurai hurriedly stepped on the brake, and the wheels of the police car let out a piercing sound.The car in front almost overturned, and finally flew past the side of the road, and the bouncing stone hit the glass of the police car. After the bend, it's a straight road.Three police cars appeared ahead.It was a police car from the Kanagawa Police Department, forming an emergency line of defense. The car the criminal was in didn't stop, instead they stepped on the accelerator.

They were about to force their way through. Sakurai didn't expect this to happen, and stepped on the brake. The criminals' car slammed into a parked police car at 120 kilometers per hour. Metal and metal collided violently, and while making a harsh impact sound, sparks burst out.The engine of the overturned police car flew out, steaming violently. The front of the car of the criminals was smashed into a big hole and rushed through the defense line.Probably due to the failure of the steering wheel, the car rushed to the right side of the dirt slope and slowly turned over. The wheels of the car turned towards the sky.Hiramatsu, who was driving the car, kicked the door, pulled out a pistol, and carried a suitcase containing 100 million yen.He didn't care whether Zhugu sitting next to him was alive or dead, he just wanted to climb up the slope and get into the miscellaneous forest, hoping to escape.

Suddenly, gunshots came from behind; he looked back, and it was Zhu Gu who had escaped from the car and was shooting at the police. "This bastard, what can you do!" Ping Song was cursing Zhu Gu in his heart.But he staggered and fell to the ground.Ping Song, who is usually not afraid of anything, now looks pale. Sakurai sees a prefectural police officer knock down a criminal.The other had already climbed up the slope and was about to get into the miscellaneous woods.If it goes into the woods, it cannot be pursued with a police car. "Quick!" Suzuki said, stepped up the accelerator of the police car, and rushed towards the dirt slope.

The black car body rushed up the dirt slope like a beast, and came to a sudden brake when it rushed to the edge of the miscellaneous forest.Sakurai held the pistol and jumped down. Seeing the police car blocking in front, Pingsong stopped, and then fled along the slope. "Stop!" Sakurai ordered, "If you don't stop, I'll shoot!" Suzuki, also holding a pistol, jumped out of the car. Pinsong looked back and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit Sakurai's side, kicking up a puff of smoke, Sakurai hurriedly fell to the ground, and ordered Suzuki: "Shoot!"

Suzuki shot at Hiramatsu's calf, but the bullet hit the suitcase in Hiramatsu's hand.Ping Song couldn't help throwing away the suitcase. Sakurai saw this opportunity, holding the pistol with both hands. "Put down the gun!" He glared at Pinsong and shouted sharply.In front of his gun is the prisoner. Pinsong Mao lowered his waist and fired two shots.The bullet hit the police car, making a strange cry. Sakurai aimed a shot at the opponent's foot, and the bullet hit the criminal's right thigh. "Help!" Pinsong yelled wildly and fell to the ground. "Put the gun down!" Sakurai slowly approached. "I know." Pinsong dropped the gun in his hand. "I'll call an ambulance right away." "Hurry up. How's my buddy? Dead?" "Ah, dead. Tell him to put the gun down, and he shoots instead." "That guy is simply a bad wolf." "Before the ambulance arrives, I have something to ask you." "Money? It's all in those two suitcases. I participated in the hijacking, but I didn't kill anyone. The guy who killed was the guy you just killed." "I want you to talk about the situation of all the members who participated in the No. 0 plan operation. Except for Kanzaki and Chizuko, let's talk about the other two people first!" The Kimura police department of the public security department was called to search the headquarters. He was considered tall among Japanese people.Behind the silver-framed glasses, the two eyes are moving agilely, giving people a sense of wisdom.He is a talented student in the Law Department of T University.People commented that he has a quick mind and a cool personality. People also commented that people in the public security front love to dress up, and it was true. Kimura's suit was very beautiful, and he wore an Italian tie and a tie clip studded with gemstones. Compared with the two, Yabe police department is like a gray mouse, and he doesn't like this Kimura police department very much.But today, I don't care about my personal likes and dislikes. The confession of the arrested Hiramatsu was copied and distributed to everyone present, and the characteristics of the six criminals who participated in the kidnapping of Prime Minister Mita were written on it. "The main targets now are Kato and Aoki." Yabe said, "According to Hiramatsu's confession, these two people are both in their twenties and sixteen years old, and they belonged to the radical group in college. These two people seem to have replaced Kanzaki. The command authority has been seized. The Kimura police department is invited to come here today. I wonder if the public security has any materials about these two people?" "Before I answer, I have a question." Kimura shrugged. "what?" "What does it mean that there are two civilians present at this kind of search meeting? Please explain first." As Kimura spoke, he glanced at Zuo Wenwen and his wife sitting in the corner. "Then, shall we retire?" Zuo Wenwen asked Yabe.Yabe shook his head vigorously. "Kimura Police Department." Yabe's voice was a little blunt, "This Zuo Wenwen is the one who foresaw this incident from the very beginning. And he judged that the situation has changed, not only for money, but also for your public security system. Terrible He is also responsible for the situation. The Sangen Criminal Department also approved him to participate in this search, so please find out. I promise, he will not interfere with our work." "If you can guarantee it, then it's fine." Kimura said reluctantly, "However, I hope that in our meeting, the folks will not intervene." "Okay, I will keep silent." Zuo Wenwen said immediately. "What kind of a joke, come here to put on airs!" Shi Zi was very dissatisfied.Kimura didn't hear her. "So, Kimura Police Department, do you have any materials on these two people?" "I don't have any impression of Kato Shintaro and Aoki Taku. These guys often change their names, and the name alone can't explain anything. My subordinates have already brought photos of the radicals to the hospital where Hiramatsu is housed. Maybe they can figure out what's going on. The real names of the two people." Kimura answered after flipping through the confession. Yabe pondered. Kimura pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses, and continued: "The prisoner's request for money is likely to make a political request to the government, such as asking the government to release the leaders of the radical faction imprisoned." "It's the guys who exploded M Heavy Industries and killed their accomplices, right?" "Yes. If they are released, there will be chaos, and those big companies will be bombed, and even important government officials will be hijacked. It's terrible." "But they took Prime Minister Mita as a hostage and asked for the release of the extremist leader's condition, so they have to accept it?" "This is not something I can consider. It is decided by the government. If I want to express my personal opinion, I must not give in to these people. No matter what kind of conspiracy they plan, I will never give in!" Kimura's eyes were filled with stubbornness and excitement.In front of the prisoner, his eyes are more severe, right?Zuo Wenwen looked at it from the side, and found it very interesting and scary at the same time. The phone rang, and a policeman picked it up, listened to it, and handed it to Kimura silently. Kimura agreed a few times in a low voice, put down the phone, and gently pushed his glasses with his fingers.It seemed that this man had a neurotic disorder. "It's from Toda who went to the hospital." Kimura looked at everyone present, "Piratatsu said that these two people are not in those photos, and they seem to be newcomers in the radical group." "Can't Hiramatsu tell lies?" Hearing Yabe's question, Kimura shook his head vigorously. "Impossible. Both Pinsong and the dead Zhugu were betrayed by their accomplices, and he will not cover them up again. The problem now is to find the yacht immediately. Isn't it?" Kimura asked Yabe back.The tone seemed to be criticizing the search department, and even said: "The kidnapping of the prime minister is a big deal, why did you ask me to attend the investigation meeting?" "Of course, we are looking for that boat." Yabe said slightly unhappily, "As soon as the incident happened, under the reminder of Zuomonji sitting there, we considered that the prisoners might have used the yacht and kept looking for it. Hiramatsu's testimony now confirms that the yacht is white, 39 yards long, and the name of the yacht is 'Peachy Boy'. It is only a matter of time before it is found. However, the prisoners may have abandoned the ship and escaped." While the two police departments were talking, Zuo Wenwen looked at his watch. It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon. "Kato and Aoki, why haven't you started to act yet?" Zuo Wenwen was puzzled. "Let's say goodbye." he said to his wife. "Stay here, you can't move freely." Zuo Wenwen and his wife returned to their office on the 36th floor. "It's still the most comfortable here." Zuo Wenwen stretched his waist, looking at the streets of Shinjuku under the window. Shi Zi also stood beside her husband, looking down.The cars and people on the street are like miniature models. "Prime Minister Sanda was kidnapped, but none of these tens of thousands of people know about it. Isn't it a little strange?" "Now is an era when there is a lot of intelligence, and the means of intelligence are too concentrated, so that the leaders can restrict it at will. No matter how big the news is, it can be completely blocked. Therefore, now there is too much information and insufficient information. The age of contradictions." "Terrible times." "Yes, terrible times." Zuo Wenwen nodded deeply.The ruler controls the intelligence agency, so he can naturally monopolize it. "What are the criminals doing now? Why are you keeping silent? What demands will you make?" Shi Zi wrote to the left in confusion. "I also find it a bit strange. The two young men, Kato and Aoki, hold the initiative and should start a new action immediately, but for some reason there is no movement. This is really a bit strange." "Are the prisoners going to have problems?" "What problems will there be? They have Prime Minister Mita as a hostage in their hands." "But the hostage is nearly 70 years old. If he gets sick or dies, the value of the hostage will be greatly reduced." "I don't think so." "why?" "If Prime Minister Sanda dies, the prisoner will definitely keep it secret from the outside world, and he will definitely start taking action as soon as possible." "So, they are not in a hurry, but it shows that they are confident?" "Maybe. The prisoners seem to be quite confident about the new No. 0 plan. Or, some of them are splitting up and making some kind of contact." "Didn't you say that the prisoners would choose somewhere in Tokyo as the stage for the event?" "Oh. Acting in a big city, it is easy to be widely known and get good results." "But now there is no movement, what effect will it have? The government blocked the news that Prime Minister Sanda was robbed." "Yes, so the prisoners are likely to target the press." However, what means they will take, Zuo Wenwen is also unpredictable.After giving up the 2 billion ransom, there must be some bigger demands. First, the prisoners are sure to hit the press. "Ah, TV!" Zuo Wenwen suddenly yelled, "Hurry up and turn on the TV!" "What's wrong?" "Prisoners will definitely use TV, because TV is the most direct and has the most publicity." Zuo Wenwen thought that Shi Zi was moving too slowly, so he quickly turned on the TV and dialed it. It's being broadcast live.Zuo Wenwen's favorite stand-up comedian is performing, but he is not in the mood to listen anyway today. "There should be a reaction." He thought, and turned it a few more times, but there was still no "temporary news", and the one who talked about cross talk talked endlessly. Zuo Wenwen also knew that he was not calm, and he hoped that if something happened, it would happen soon. "Would you like a cup of coffee?" Shi Zi asked. Zuo Wenwen let out an "um" and kept staring at the TV screen. The stand-up comedy was finally over, and it was replaced by double-mouth comedy. "What are the criminals doing?" Zuo Wenwen thought about it in his heart, and twisted a few TV knobs.No matter which station, there are music, singing and dancing, or reruns of TV dramas. He turned back to NHK. There is nothing on the screen, just a white fluorescent screen. Zuo Wenwen suddenly felt nervous, and hurriedly called his wife. Suddenly, a nervous announcer appeared on the screen, took the manuscript, and whispered something. Due to being too nervous, he forgot to turn on the live broadcast switch. The middle-aged announcer finally calmed down, quickly turned on the switch, and turned his face to the audience. "Report temporary news now." The broadcaster started the broadcast: "Prime Minister Mita has been hijacked. He was hijacked at the Central Hospital at 2:00 p.m. yesterday. Due to the importance of the matter, it has not been published yet. However, 30 minutes ago, there was a man who claimed to be a 'black beast' Someone called NHK and asked the TV station to publish the news that the Prime Minister was robbed at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and read their statement. If the TV station refused, they would kill Prime Minister Mita. I wrote a letter and left. This is that letter, which contains the full statement of the 'Black Beast' and a photo of Prime Minister Mita taken with an instant camera. Under these circumstances, we proceeded cautiously. After careful discussion, I decided to publish it here." The announcer said, pulling out a statement and a photo from the envelope. The left text distorts the sound of the TV. "This is a photo of Prime Minister Mita." The announcer pointed a color photo at the audience.It gradually became a close-up. It is indeed Prime Minister Mita. The Prime Minister looked worn out in his shirt shirt and his favorite Italian tie hanging askew around his neck. Holding a piece of paper in his right hand, there is a line of big characters written on it—— "I am a captive of the 'Black Beast'." "Please note the piece of paper held in the Prime Minister's right hand." As the announcer spoke, the camera moved closer to the paper. Under the two words "captive", a piece of newspaper was pasted, and the date was circled with a red pen. "Here is today's paper. It shows that, at least as of this morning, the Prime Minister is alive and well. 'Black Beast' has sent this picture to illustrate the point. Below is their statement." As the announcer spoke, he spread out the copied statement, and the sound of flipping the paper came from the TV. "This statement will be sent to all TV stations and newspapers. Now broadcast the statement—" The announcer reads the statement deliberately weakly: The phone rang. Zuo Wenwen glanced at Shi Zi and picked up the phone. "Did you watch TV?" Yabe's voice came from the phone. "Look." "As you expected, the public security department spread everywhere about our ineffective work, which led to the current situation." "They'll do it." "I have something to tell you. The yacht has been found, the 'Pretty Pink'." "where?" "Chigasaki Coast." "There's no yacht port there." "It was parked on the coast, and it has been abandoned. After investigating around, someone saw two black cars parked on the coast." "That means there are accomplices on shore to meet them." "Yes, that's the only way to explain it. On the wall in the cabin, there are big characters 'Black Beast'. They are deliberately challenging the police." "Where's Kanzaki and Chitsuko?" "Nowhere to be seen. Either join the ranks of the 'Black Beast', or become a prisoner like Prime Minister Mita." "About Shintaro Kato and Takuo Aoki, did you find anything after the investigation?" "No. The police don't know. They only said it might be a fake name. What do you think?" "I don't know either. I was still in the United States at the time, and I didn't know much about the radical situation in Japan." "My concern is what was mentioned in that statement, and in a few hours it will turn out that their residence will turn into a battlefield." "Me too." As soon as Zuo Wenwen said this, he heard a loud noise that shook the entire building. He hastily put down the receiver and ran to the window. "There!" Shi Zi said, pointing to a nearby super high-rise building.From the five floors of the building, black smoke was blowing out. "Hey, what's the matter?" Yabe called on the phone. "Here, it seems to be a battlefield!" Zuomonji went back, picked up the microphone, and told Yabe loudly.
