Chapter 114 Memorable Scenes

"Baka! What did the assassin stuff into my grandfather's mouth?"

Looking at the photo of Ichiro Iemoto's mangled body, Eiji Iemoto immediately noticed that Ichiro's mouth was wide open, and a roll of something had clearly been stuffed into it.

It was done by the murderer.

He wasn't stupid; he immediately guessed that the thing in his grandfather's mouth was deliberately stuffed in by the murderer.

This means the item may contain clues related to the murderer.

Upon hearing Eiji Iemoto's question, Chen Guojun replied with a strange expression, "Mr. Eiji Iemoto, the item was indeed inserted by the murderer. As for what it is—you can turn the page; we also have photos of the item."

Eiji Tsukamoto quickly flipped to the back, then his pupils contracted and he flew into a rage, "Baka yarou! Who is the murderer? I'll find him and tear him to pieces!"

Tanaka Shinji and the others were curious about what could have made Iemoto Eiji so angry. They went over to take a look and saw that Tanaka Shinji was filled with shock and anger. "Baka! This murderer must be severely punished!"

The photos taken at the scene show that what was stuffed into Ichiro Iemoto's mouth was a picture of Japan's defeat and surrender.

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!

For a war criminal like Ichiro Tsukamoto, this photo of his surrender was a blatant humiliation.

Ya Zi withdrew her gaze, looked away, and pretended to be very busy, glancing around.

Chen Guojun and Lu Ming exchanged glances, quite satisfied with Tsukamoto Eiji's outburst of rage, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

War criminals deserve this fate.

"Inspector Chan, has your Major Crimes Unit uncovered any leads regarding the murderer?"

Shinji Tanaka was filled with anger. For the Japanese government, the defeat and surrender in World War II was a scene forever etched in the pillar of shame.

Chen Guojun coughed lightly and said, "Based on the situation at the scene, our Major Crimes Unit does have a guess." He paused, his expression serious, and said, "We suspect that the assassin who killed Mr. Tsukamoto Ichiro was the infamous Seraphim."

"Seraph?"

Eiji Iemoto and Shinji Yuzaka both stared intently; it was the first time they had ever heard of the Seraph's name.

Although Seraph is a well-known assassin in Hong Kong, she is not very famous overseas.

Lu Ming frowned, unable to understand why Chen Guojun would deliberately expose the Seraphim clue. Wasn't this just inviting trouble?

Could it be that...?

Lu Ming looked at Chen Guojun.

Chen Guojun shook his head at him. He had planned this long before the operation began. Ichiro Iemoto established a revenge fund worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the wolves of the world would surely come to kill him because of the smell of blood.

For them, once exposed, they would face the constant threat of being hunted down by the world's top assassins.

He didn't want to implicate Lu Ming and Li Jie, so he proactively revealed clues about the Seraph, intending to put himself in the spotlight and withstand the assassins' pursuit on his own.

"Seraph, an assassin who never takes money and only kills the guilty —"

Upon hearing the name Seraphim, Yako quietly recounted information about Seraphim, explaining that in Hong Kong, Seraphim were deadly ghosts hovering over a group of villains.

To date, countless criminals have died at the hands of the Seraphs.

And this time—it's Ichiro Iemoto.

When Yako was notified to take on this case, she had already learned about Ichiro Izumoto and was well aware of the crimes he had committed, so it was not surprising that she was being targeted by the Seraphim.

The only problem is————

"According to the surviving security personnel, there were three assassins who broke into the Kaben Group at the time, which is inconsistent with the Seraphim's usual lone-wolf style."

Ya Zi frowned and raised her question, wanting to dispel suspicion from Seraphim.

Ichiro Iemoto's revenge fund was officially activated when he was killed. According to intelligence received by their Interpol team, assassin brokers from all over the world are rushing to get their hands on the $100 million.

Once the killer targets the Seraph, the Seraph will be hunted down by the world's top assassins and will have little chance of survival.

In any case, so far the Seraphs have only killed those who deserved to die.

Deep down, Yako didn't want Seraphim to be on the Revenge Fund's list.

Lu Ming looked at the two conflicted people with strange expressions. One wanted to push the Seraphim out as a shield, while the other wanted to protect the Seraphim.

"Seraph—we will investigate this ourselves, so we won't trouble you."

Eiji Tsukamoto closed the document, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Someone, take my grandfather's body to the funeral home!"

"Hi!"

Eiji Iemoto and Shinji Tanaka retrieved the order from the police chief and took Ichiro Iemoto's body and all related evidence back with them.

As Yako watched Iemoto Eiji and the others leave, she smiled at Chan Kwok-kwan and said, "Inspector Chan, the higher-ups sent me here to assist you with your investigation, but it turned out to be a wasted trip."

"No, this is far from over."

Chan Kwok-kwan's expression was serious. "The revenge fund has been activated. Hit agents and assassins from all over the world will be rushing to Hong Kong Island to participate in this revenge plan in a short period of time. As police officers, we cannot let these people run rampant."

In reality, he was afraid that the assassins would actually trace it back to the three of them, so he had to keep a close eye on the assassins and shoot whoever showed up.

In any case, none of these assassins had a clean background.

"One hundred million dollars is enough to drive the entire assassin world crazy."

Lu Ming smiled faintly. According to the industry standard for assassins, the world's top assassins usually only get around one million US dollars for killing one person. They might not be able to save much money even after working hard for many years.

Now that they have a chance to get rich overnight, they might go completely crazy.

Yako was well aware of the risks involved, and nodded seriously. "Our Interpol team will follow up on this case, and we will send you the information on the assassins who participated in this revenge fund."

Their Interpol team exchanges information and intelligence with Interpol agents from all over the world, enabling them to obtain information about hitman agents and hitmen as quickly as possible.

"Our Major Crimes Unit has installed cameras at the entrance of the Jiaben Group building where the Revenge Foundation is holding its meetings. All attendees of the Revenge Foundation meetings will be photographed, and I will send their photos to your Interpol team later."

Chen Guojun's face lit up with joy; they did indeed need accurate information about the assassin.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later."

Ya Zi nodded, smiled and said goodbye to the two of them, then left gracefully.

"Inspector Lu, be careful during this time. I have already investigated. Tsukamoto Ichiro's grandson is a cruel and ruthless person. He has done a lot of murder and arson behind the scenes. His style of doing things is very similar to his grandfather's. He will not let the murderer go easily."

Seeing Ya Zi leave, Chen Guojun solemnly reminded Lu Ming.

"So this Tsukamoto Eiji is also a villain." Lu Ming smiled. "There's always a saying: you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. Instead of living in fear, we might as well get rid of Tsukamoto Eiji once and for all."

"The most important issue now is the Revenge Fund. With Tsukamoto Ichiro dead, the fund has been activated. Even if we kill Tsukamoto Eiji, we cannot stop the fund from operating."

Chen Guojun wearily rubbed his furrowed brows.

"I do have a method," Lu Ming said meaningfully, "If the assassin who killed Iemoto Ichiro was hired by Iemoto Eiji, then the Revenge Foundation's target will naturally become Iemoto Eiji. Once Iemoto Eiji is killed, the Revenge Foundation will also cease operations."

Chen Guojun's eyes widened. "How is this possible?"

"It all depends on human effort."
