The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

Chapter 111 A Sensation, The Thief Cries "Stop Thief!"

"Well done, Officer Lu!"

When Lu Ming and the other two met at the designated location, Chen Guojun gave Lu Ming a thumbs up. His original plan was to use himself as bait to attract most of the security personnel, giving Lu Ming an opportunity to kill Ichiro Iemoto.

Unexpectedly, the security personnel of the Jiaben Group were experienced. They only sent two groups to deal with him, while the rest were stationed downstairs in the president's office to prevent any assassins from breaking in.

When he discovered this, he was almost terrified.

Lu Ming charged forward alone, and trying to break through the defenses formed by so many security personnel was an impossible task.

But as soon as he told Lu Ming about his discovery, Lu Ming casually told him that all the security personnel had been taken care of, an efficiency that was hard to believe.

Chen Guojun thought about Lu Ming's achievements in the police force in the past six months and then fell silent.

He had read Lu Ming's past case reports. Lu Ming had not been a police officer for long, but he had participated in a great many major cases. Moreover, in each major case, Lu Ming had single-handedly taken down numerous gunmen.

When it comes to killing, he is unparalleled in the police force.

In retrospect, his previous worries about Lu Ming were somewhat unfounded.

The people who should really be afraid are the security personnel of the Jiaben Group.

As it turned out, the Tsukamoto Group's security personnel were no match for Lu Ming, who quickly broke through their defenses, stormed the top floor, and killed Tsukamoto Ichiro.

"Inspector Lu, I suspect that even without our help, you could single-handedly destroy the entire Tsukamoto Group."

Chen Guojun sighed with emotion.

Li Jie recalled the scene at the Jundu Hotel where he saw Lu Ming single-handedly take down all the thugs in the lobby, and nodded in agreement.

"You guys overestimate me."

Lu Ming shook his head and smiled. He admitted that with his current skills, he could kill enemies indiscriminately in the dark, but after all, he was only human. Faced with the siege of so many security personnel, he would still bleed and die if he was grazed by a bullet.

He didn't want to put himself in that predicament.

If you can snipe, do so; try to avoid direct gunfights.

If all else fails, throw a grenade.

The reason he was able to eliminate Sasaki and his group so quickly today was because he used his hunter skills to lurk in the dark and shoot from the shadows. He had already taken out a large number of security personnel when the gunfight started, and then he was able to use the Bloodhound to scout ahead and successfully eliminate Sasaki and his group.

Otherwise, given Sasaki's strategy of hiding behind cover and firing from a distance, it would be difficult for Lu Ming to break through from the front.

"We've already taken down Tsukamoto Ichiro. I hope everyone will keep quiet and not reveal their identities, otherwise we'll be facing the pursuit of one of the world's top assassins."

Chen Guojun solemnly instructed Lu Ming and Li Jie.

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

A strange light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes. What he wanted was to activate this revenge fund so that he could complete his promotion ceremony as a Sequence 8 bounty hunter.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The chairman of the Tsukamoto Group has been shot dead. The scene is horrific and shocking!"

"Our station reports that a fierce gun battle broke out inside the Isamoto Group building last night, and Isamoto Ichiro, the president of the Isamoto Group, was killed. According to police officers who investigated the scene, the two sides fired as many as 1,000 rounds."

"Breaking news: The Japanese government has sent a diplomatic note, hoping that the Hong Kong Island police will find the murderer as soon as possible and give the victim's family an explanation."

"Ichiro Tsukamoto's family has arrived in Hong Kong Island —"

The news of Ichiro Iemoto's murder spread throughout Hong Kong Island the very next day. The media, as if on steroids, reported the entire case in great detail, including the numerous crimes Iemoto had committed in the past.

When the people of Hong Kong learned that Ichiro Tsukamoto was a war criminal in the invasion of China, they applauded and praised the mysterious assassin who killed him.

However, the major case allowed the media to celebrate the Lunar New Year, while the police force maintained a serious atmosphere.

Too many things have happened in Hong Kong lately: international terrorists infiltrated the island to carry out terrorist attacks, the kidnapping at the Grand Hotel, the assassination of the chairman of the Jiaben Group—

One shocking case after another came like a tidal wave in a short period of time, leaving the entire Hong Kong Island police force somewhat suffocated.

It has even attracted international attention.

Hong Kong Island, once hailed as Asia's safest international metropolis, has now become a place that everyone fears and dreads, a laughing stock.

This shows how much pressure the police force faces.

Even though they can solve major cases and arrest criminals at lightning speed every time a case occurs, the frequency of cases is unbearable, and various gangsters and drug lords are stirring up trouble.

Hong Kong Island now feels like the end of the world, a scene of utter chaos.

"Chief, did you call us here because of the murder of Ichiro Iemoto?"

As expected, Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju were summoned to the director's office.

The director looked at Lu Ming, who was determined to resign, and rubbed his temples with a headache. At this time, serious cases were frequently occurring in Hong Kong Island, and it was a time when manpower was needed. But Lu Ming had to resign at this time, which made him sigh helplessly.

"Ah Ming, Ka Kui, the murder of Japanese businessman Tsukamoto Ichiro has affected Hong Kong's international image and has a huge impact. The Japanese government has issued a diplomatic note urging us to solve the case as soon as possible. Considering the complexity of Ichiro Ichiro's background and international influence, the General Administration of Customs has raised this case to the highest level."

The commissioner took a deep breath, his expression turned serious, and said, "The headquarters has asked us to form a joint investigation team with the Central Police Station's Major Crimes Unit, the General Police Department's Major Crimes Unit, and Interpol, to try to solve this case as soon as possible."

Lu Ming had an expression that said, "I knew it."

Ichiro Iemoto was a Japanese zaibatsu (financial conglomerate) with enormous influence in Japan. His assassination will inevitably attract the attention of the Japanese government, which will dispatch its Interpol agents to assist in the investigation.

Of course, the Japanese government's police do not have law enforcement authority on Hong Kong Island, so they can only contact the local Major Crimes Unit through Interpol on Hong Kong Island to investigate the case together.

Ultimately, the main investigators were local Hong Kong crime squad officers, with Interpol playing a coordinating role between investigators from both countries.

"Our police station's major crime unit also had to send people to participate in this case, but now we also have the important task of tracking down international terrorists."

Uncle Biao said with a smile, "We have already discussed it. Jiaju, you are familiar with the people on the street, so you will be responsible for continuing to track down the terrorists, while Aming will be responsible for going to the headquarters to assist the headquarters' Major Crimes Unit in investigating the murder of Ichiro Iemoto."

"Do either of you have any objections?"

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju are already recognized as the two most outstanding police officers in the Central Police Station.

Now that the Central Police Station has two important tasks, it's natural that they need to be dispatched.

"Reporting to the Director, we will comply with the arrangements."

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju saluted.

"Alright, you guys go get to work!"

The director nodded.

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju agreed and immediately went out to do their work.

The director watched Lu Ming's retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and finally let out a soft sigh.

Seeing his distressed look, Uncle Biao comforted him, saying, "Buddy, try to think positively. Maybe Ah Ming will change his mind in a couple of days."

Let's hope so!

The director shook his head, not holding out much hope.
