Chapter 121 Breaking News, Major Christmas Event

"Inspector Chen, Inspector Lu, Miss Yako, I have received authorization from the Iemoto family to take full responsibility for handling Mr. Iemoto Eiji's funeral—"

Shinji Yunaka, an Interpol officer who had already returned to Japan, reappeared at the headquarters' Major Crimes Unit, carrying a letter of authorization from the Iemoto family, to claim the body of Eiji Iemoto.

"Mr. Shinji Tanaka, this case is still unsolved, and the real culprit has not been found. Is there really no need to rush into cremation and a funeral?"

Chen Guojun looked troubled.

"Inspector Chen, this is an order from the Tsukamoto family. I am just following orders."

Shinji Tanaka used the Iemoto family to exert pressure, and if that didn't work, he would resort to diplomatic means. He just kept using the same three tricks.

"In that case, according to procedure, we need to consult our superiors—"

Chen Guojun hesitated.

"We have obtained your supervisor's consent in advance; this is your supervisor's approval document."

As if he had expected this, Shinji Tanaka took out another document from his pocket, which was a document from the police leadership approving the transfer of Eiji Iemoto's body and the case to the Japanese side.

Chen Guojun took a deep breath. "The higher-ups have given the order, and we will naturally comply. Our Major Crimes Unit will now transfer all related matters to you."

"Yoshi!"

Shinji Tanaka nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Ming watched from the side with a strange expression. The Japanese government and the Tsukamoto family were really generous. Ichiro Iemoto and Eiji Tsukamoto both died in Hong Kong, but they rushed to receive their bodies for cremation and did not investigate the real culprit behind the scenes twice.

The first time Ichiro Iemoto was killed was because the Iemoto family believed that a revenge fund existed and that assassins from all over the world would help Ichiro Iemoto take revenge.

This time, Eiji Iemoto's actions were the result of a power struggle within the Iemoto family.

Yako looked at the scene before her, lost in thought. She had already guessed that there was something seriously wrong with these two cases.

The methods used to assassinate Ichiro Iemoto and Eiji Iemoto were basically the same: the power was cut off, and then a forced entry was carried out to kill the target.

If this speculation is true, then the story behind it is quite interesting.

The person behind this is very likely after a $100 million revenge fund.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Eiji Iemoto killed someone to seize power, and then suffered the consequences himself.

In any case, these two cases have been handed over to the Japanese authorities and are no longer their concern.

Now, they have more important things to deal with.

"Ah Ming, Jiaju, you reported last time that the terrorists we've been tracking are very likely to launch a terrorist attack on Christmas Day. After discussions at the higher-ups, it's been determined that this is highly probable, so it's been decided that police officers will be stationed at various universities on Christmas Day to guard against terrorist attacks."

The commissioner summoned Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju to his office and told them the arrangements from above: "Our Central Police Station is responsible for the defense of St. Yuk Keung Secondary School. You two will be leading the team. Be careful not to cause any accidents."

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju both nodded in agreement.

Although Lu Ming guessed from the plot that the terrorists would most likely attack Adam Smith International School, he was afraid that this group of international terrorists might change their minds and choose another school as their target.

"Zhou sir, we've received intelligence that terrorists are very likely to launch a terrorist attack on Christmas Day. Be on your guard these next few days."

-

Lu Ming handed a two-way pager to Zhou Xingxing, "If anything happens, remember to send me a message using the pager, and I'll call for backup as soon as possible."

"I've finally waited for this day."

Zhou Xingxing's spirits lifted, and he endured humiliation to go undercover at Adam Smith International Elite School, hoping to redeem himself and show others that he, Zhou Xingxing, could rise through the ranks without relying on a woman.

"This time—I will take back everything I've lost with my own hands."

Lu Ming looked at Zhou Xingxing, who had suddenly become a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and was completely confused. He was just an undercover agent, so what was he so passionate about?

"Inspector Lu, Inspector Chen, welcome to our school for safety awareness and protection. On behalf of all the teachers and students, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude."

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju led a team of officers from the Major Crimes Unit to guard St. Yuk Keung Middle School. Of course, they couldn't openly say that they were there to guard against terrorists.

This can easily cause panic.

They came to the school to conduct a safety briefing and to patrol and ensure the safety of students, considering that there would be events and large gatherings at the school on Christmas Day.

Upon learning this news, the school was naturally overjoyed and repeatedly expressed its appreciation for the work of the Central Police Station.

"Ah Ming, do you think terrorists will attack this school?"

Chan Ka-kui personally arranged the positions of the Major Crimes Unit detectives. Only after the deployment was completed did he breathe a sigh of relief and ask Luk Ming about the terrorists' attack targets.

"Hard to say."

Lu Ming shook his head.

The students at St. Yuk Keung Secondary School also have formidable backgrounds and could potentially be targeted by terrorists.

"These terrorists are really cunning. The Special Branch caught them by the tail twice, but without exception, they all escaped. This has made our police force very nervous."

Chen Jiaju couldn't help but sigh as he thought about the heavy casualties suffered by the Special Branch in arresting terrorists.

When has the Hong Kong Island Police Force ever suffered such a huge loss?

"No matter how cunning the mouse is, it can't escape the cat's claws."

Lu Ming smiled and told Chen Jiaju to relax, that they would wipe out this group of terrorists during breakfast.

"Officer Lu, excuse me."

Just as the two were discussing international terrorists, Teacher He walked over to them from the group of students and asked with some concern, "Have you seen Ah Xing lately? How's he doing with the Major Crimes Unit? I feel like he's been acting all mysterious lately—"

It turns out that Stephen Chow left his job at the General Administration of Sport to go undercover at Adam Smith International School, but he didn't tell Teacher Ho.

After all, this is not something to be proud of.

Moreover, Stephen Chow believed that as long as he caught this group of terrorists, he could wash away his shame and return to the police force.

So he kept it a secret, waiting for the day he could return to the police force after making a good contribution.

"Zhou sir—well, he's doing a great job. I heard his boss admires him and is preparing to promote him."

Lu Ming laughed it off and kept the matter from Zhou Xingxing.

"So that's how it is. No wonder he's been acting so mysteriously lately."

When Teacher He heard that Zhou Xingxing was being given important responsibilities by his superiors in the Major Crimes Unit, he was happy for Zhou Xingxing and finally felt relieved.

"Officers, I won't disturb your conversation any longer."

"Is Stephen Chow the Flying Tigers captain from the last arms case?"

As Chen Jiaju watched Teacher He's departing figure, he finally remembered who Zhou Xingxing was.

"It's him, a pretty capable police officer. I'll introduce you to him sometime."

Lu Ming imagined a scene where Chen Jiaju and Zhou Xingxing teamed up to catch a thief, which should be very interesting.

Didi!

Just then, his pager on his belt suddenly went off, which startled him. He immediately took the pager off to check, and there was a message from Stephen Chow: "Big brother, the terrorists have really broken in."

"All the political police officers stationed at the school have been killed. Come to their rescue immediately!"

These two short sentences sent a chill down Lu Ming's spine. It turned out that the terrorists' goal had never changed. Even though their purpose had long been exposed, they still chose to launch a strong attack on Adam Smith International Noble School.
