Chapter 3 Chapter Two: The Path of the Killer

Yohei Tasho, the direct line leader of the Sonezaki Group, was always unable to come out of the shower. His wife was surprised. When she went to the bathroom, she was shocked. Tasho stretched out and lay down on the tiled floor. The wife called Hamano and the young man who happened to be here, and carried Tasho's jellyfish-like body into the bedroom.The wife thought it was a stroke or a heart attack. After calling the attending doctor, the doctor diagnosed a concussion caused by slipping and falling on the bathroom floor, the head was violently shaken, and said that he would wake up after a while.

After listening to the doctor's words, the family members and subordinates felt relieved.However, with the passage of time, instead of regaining consciousness, Tiansuo developed serious symptoms such as paralysis of limbs, dull expression, and irregular breathing.When he was sent to the hospital, hematoma occurred in his skull, and it was beyond treatment. The big cadres who rushed to hear the news didn't believe that the leader of the direct line died so simply. The Zenezaki group is a pyramid-shaped complex with Tiansuo as the apex.There are four layers of tissue below him, from the second layer to the fifth layer.

Because of Tian Suo's strong ruling ability, this unified union was completed.The leaders of the second layer organization are evenly matched.When Tian Suo dies, he will lose the person who controls the overall situation, and there is a danger of splitting. Whoever becomes the successor will be opposed and disobeyed.This is the common tragic fate of kingdoms that have lost their main leader. First, there was a dispute over who should be the chairman of the Tiansuo Funeral Committee.Because, serving as the chairman of the funeral committee at a funeral gathering of leaders from all over the country is tantamount to announcing to the inside and outside the group that he is the successor of the deceased.

At the central cadre meeting held next to the deceased, they argued endlessly with each other, and finally elected the eminent figure in Kansai and the chairman of the Shandong Association, Nimura Dazang, as the chairman of the funeral committee.None of the central cadres objected to the election of Ercun as the chairman of the committee.He is an excellent candidate.Because, electing Ercun as the chairman of the funeral committee is tantamount to signing a non-aggression pact with the Shandong Association, the most powerful in Kansai. In this way, none of the cadres at the level below Tian Suo, the former lineage leader, had any complaints, and the funeral procession within the group could be done in unison.At the same time, the cooperation between the Sonezaki Group and the Shandong Club is also a silent deterrent to the opposing organizations that have been eyeing the Sonezaki Group's sphere of influence after the death of Tasho Yohei.

In any case, Tiansuo's funeral ended smoothly.The funeral held under the vigilance of the Tokyo leader, the frenzy of the propaganda and reporting circles, and the traffic control fully demonstrated the huge power of the underworld gangs among ordinary citizens. After the funeral, the first problem to be solved is to select Tiansuo's successor.The Central Cadres Committee of the Zenezaki Group is composed of two heads and six Ruo Duo assistants, a total of eight people.The Central Cadre Association is the highest authority of the group. If Tian Suo is the king, if the heads are the prime minister, if the heads are assistants, they are equivalent to cabinet members.There are two heads, one is Ohara and Ming, and the other is Kakutani Hideki.The level of the two of them is exactly the same, and their strength in the group is evenly matched.There are six assistants, three on each side, evenly divided.

Ohara and Kakutani, whoever is the successor, the other party will not buy it.However, after the death of the king, two prime ministers cannot co-manage state affairs.There was also dissatisfaction within the group, and everyone worried that if a successor was not decided quickly, the group would become disorganized and other organizations would take advantage of it. After the funeral in Qiqi (forty-nine days after his death), the issue of selecting a successor was put on the agenda of the central cadre meeting.Because the central cadre meeting failed to make a decision in the end, the issue of selecting successors was handed over to a regular meeting composed of all direct line leaders for resolution.

It is unprecedented that the highest authority of the direct lineage group cannot make a decision and hand it over to the plenary meeting of the lower-level organization for resolution.The plenary meeting is voted by fifty-one immediate group leaders.Ohara was elected by a narrow majority of 27 votes to 24 votes as the direct line leader. The most undemocratic gangs elect their leaders by a majority vote, which is against convention.Knowing that it violates the convention, but this method must be adopted, which has its own difficulties for the Sonezaki group. In any case, the Sonezaki group finally started a new journey under the Ohara system.However, at the beginning of the new system, the Sonezaki group was in disarray.At the first central cadre meeting under the Ohara system, Kadotani and the three assistants who supported him did not attend.Then, at the regular meeting, the twenty-four immediate group leaders of the Kakutani faction were nowhere to be seen.So far, the Great Horn War has become superficial.

Like-minded people of the Kakutani faction gathered together and formed the "Ocean Association" as the heir to the behest of the former leader Yohei Tasho, and elected Kakutani as the president. This is the declaration of war proposed by the Kakutani party Sonezaki group.Since then, the Great Horn War has begun. On the night of June 15th, it rained and the weather was very hot.Team leader Tian Suo's hundred-day Buddhist service has just ended.The Dajiao and Dajiao sects held this Buddhist event independently, and the conflict between the two factions became more and more serious.

This afternoon, Ohara attended the wedding of the daughter of the leader of the friendship organization.After the wedding, he came to see his mistress who lived in an apartment in Huaigu.Ohara's mistress turned out to be a waitress at a nightclub under his umbrella. Ohara fell in love with her at first sight and let her live in the apartment.Only a few cadres in the group knew about Da Yuan's mistress. Although he is the leader of a big violent gang, he tries not to let others know his personal privacy. On the way back from the wedding, Ohara sent all three bodyguards back, and only Ruozhongtou, Hamano, was left to accompany him.Because this mistress was introduced to him by Hamano, of course there was no need to hide it from Hamano.

Although the conflict between Ohara and Kakutani has been serious recently, Ohara feels that he has just returned from a festive wedding, and at the same time feels that the enemy probably doesn't know that he has this secret love nest, so he relaxes his vigilance. After staying comfortably in the mistress' room for a long time, Ohara came out from the gate, and the mistress sent him to the gate.Hamano had already driven the car from the parking lot to the gate and waited for him.When Ohara bid farewell to his mistress and walked towards the car, a person suddenly jumped out from behind the building.

"Ohara!" the man yelled. Ohara had just realized that the other party had already fired two shots at him and would continue to pull the trigger. I don't know if it was out of bullets or something stuck, but there was only the sound of impact, but the gun didn't fire.A moment later, Da Yuan's head gushed out blood and he fell to the ground.At this time, Hamano, who opened the car door for Ohara, yelled "Bastard!" in surprise, rushed towards the killer, and stabbed the knife in his right hand into the killer's chest. After Hamano stabbed the killer, he immediately ran to Ohara.At this time, Da Yuan's skull was shattered, and it was obvious from a glance that he could not be saved.At this time, Mamiko Yanase, the mistress who came out to see Ohara off, has not left and witnessed everything that happened on the scene.The people in the apartment also ran out when they heard the abnormal situation.The well-dressed apartment dwellers were transfixed with horror at the sight of the two bloody bodies lying on the ground.It was the first time they had seen such a scene, and at first they seemed to think it was a movie or TV show. When people learned that this was a real thing, they all sighed.After a while, the police came to the scene.The ambulance also came, and since both of them died, they went back with an empty car. Hamano was arrested on the spot. "When the team leader Ohara came to the door of the apartment, a person suddenly jumped out from the hiding place and shot the team leader to death with a pistol. The killer then shot at me, but didn't fire. At this time, I used The mountaineering knife stabbed the killer to death. Fortunately, the other party's gun did not fire, if I hadn't stabbed him to death, he would have killed me." Hamano stated the situation at that time in this way, thinking that he was acting in self-defense.Mamiko Yanase, who was present at the scene when Ohara was sent out, testified that his statement was true. After verification, the killer was Masanen Itawa (23 years old), a member of the Takagi family of the infield team of the Ocean Club, and the murder weapon was a 45-caliber Colt automatic pistol.This is the most widely used pistol in Japan.Two shots were fired from the seven-shot pistol, which was consistent with the gunfire heard by Mamiko Yanase and apartment residents. The pistol bullet shot into Ohara's forehead, shattered the skull, and smashed the inside of the brain. 45 caliber is forty-five percent of an inch, and an inch is about 25.4 mm. The caliber of this pistol is 11.4 mm.The caliber of the standard rifle is 7.7 mm, so it is conceivable that this large-caliber pistol is fired at close range, and its power is great. The Sonezaki-gumi's new leader is assassinated, sending the group into an all-out war with the Ocean Society. However, some people say that this approach of the Ocean Club is too clumsy.First of all, once it fails, it will be violently retaliated by the Sonezaki group.Furthermore, how could one of the lowest-level team members be sent to assassinate the leader of the Zenezaki team!Also, why did the seven-ring pistol stop firing after two shots?And there was nothing wrong with the pistol. It was deduced that the killer might not be good at using a pistol and made a mistake in panic. On the other hand, in the case of serious confrontation with Dayanghui, Ohara only took a bodyguard to have a tryst with his mistress, and was also accused.Moreover, Hamano, who was the only one protecting Ohara, didn't even have a pistol on him.Although it happened after attending the wedding, the responsibility of the bodyguard is also great. Thanks to strong witness testimony and the efforts of defense attorneys, Hamano was released on bail.At the same time, due to dereliction of duty when defending the team leader, Hamano was revoked the title of Ruo Duo's assistant. "You can use me as a bullet. You must not let the guys who assassinate the team leader live in this world." Yamagata Nao also cried to Hamano. "Thank you, this is my own business, I have to solve it by myself." Hamano said solemnly expressing his determination. "At least take me with you." "no." "Why not? I am willing to die for the leader. I am waiting for this day!" "It's enough for me to die alone." "The enemy must also be afraid of our retaliation and strictly guard against it. They don't know me, and I have no criminal record, so it will be useful. Besides, it's better to have more people to do this kind of thing. Please, just ask me to do it!" "You're really ignorant. This is my personal matter, and I can't involve you in it." "Why can't you take me there?" "No way." At this time, Yamagata suddenly took out the kitchen knife hidden on his body and stabbed it in the abdomen. "Dangerous, put down the knife!" Hamano hurriedly pressed Yamagata's hand. "Let go of me! If I can't avenge the team leader, I might as well die." Yamagata thought, Hamano usually treats him so well, now it's time to repay his favor.Hamano, who was revoked the title of Ruo Duo's assistant because of his negligence in defending Ohara, chose to assassinate the enemy's leader for revenge.Killers are death squads. After a long period of latent activities, even if you have the opportunity to get close to the enemy, you may be hit back by the enemy's bodyguards.Even if he can successfully kill the enemy leader, he cannot escape the investigation of the police, and he will spend most of his life in prison at that time. Even knowing the outcome, there is no other way of restoring the reputation than that. "Do you have to take joint action with me?" "yes." "It's possible to die! It's not possible, but it's likely to die." "I am willing to die for the team leader." "Even if you don't die, you still have to go to jail!" "I can't wait to live a life where three are full and two are full!" "I really can't help you." "Did you promise to take me there?" "It seems that if I don't agree, you are going too." "Thank you!" "You risk your life!" Hamano's eyes were a little moist. From this day on, they lurked.The goal is to assassinate Hideki Kakutani, the president of the Ocean Society.
