The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Chapter 152 Silencing

Time turns back.

On the night of the incident.

A murder had recently occurred at this warehouse. As a crime scene, the police should have kept the area under control for a long time until the murder was solved or the case was temporarily shelved by law.

But the death of a person, especially a gangster, is a common occurrence in gangster territory.

This place quickly became a black box, a prison cell, used for severe torture.

"Dad."

Takahashi Daiki arrived at the door to greet his father, Suruga Daichi.

Suruga Daichi got out of the car, pushed away Takahashi Daiki's hand that was trying to help him, and his mood was indescribably bad.

He noticed the injury on Takahashi Daiki's face and frowned, asking, "How did this happen?"

"It was Yamae Kaito who did it." Takahashi Daiki calmly wiped the blood seeping from his wounds and said, "The two men I brought were also killed by him, just to vent his anger."

Takahashi Daiki paused for a moment, then said, "Father, the main family is going too far, pushing us too hard. Perhaps we should—"

Daiki Takahashi gave Daichi Suruga a look.

Suruga Daichi did not answer, but looked at the warehouse instead.

"Is he still alive?" he asked.

"Alive, he was stabbed, but received timely treatment, so he won't die anytime soon." Takahashi Daiki led his father the way.

Inside the warehouse, the survivor who had attacked Kirihara Akatsuki was shirtless, bandaged, and blood was seeping through the bandages.

Suruga Daichi, not wanting to waste words, went straight to the point: "Three people, three guns, one person to kill—how did things escalate to this point?"

"The one who attacked before you has already been arrested by the police, and the one who attacked with you is dead. Now tell me honestly, what happened from beginning to end?"

The man, barely alive, said, "I... I don't know. My predecessor made a mistake, but we didn't see how it happened."

Talking too much aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain. After a moment, he said, "We only realized the operation had gone wrong when we saw the target come out of that door. According to the original plan, we were supposed to cover for the mistake, so we followed them."

"Patching leaks, patching leaks, is this how you patch leaks for the hell?" Even the usually very composed Suruga Daichi couldn't help but curse. "Two guns, four or five magazines emptied, the gunfire sounded like firecrackers in China, going on for five minutes, five minutes!"

Five minutes is obviously an exaggeration; the assassination itself only lasted a few minutes.

Suruga Daichi was a little mad with anger. He patted his chest to catch his breath and continued to question, "Then how come one of you had his head smashed open and the other was stabbed to death?"

"And the distance is so far, one is in the North Pole and the other in the South Pole. Even if Kirihara Akira had three heads and six arms, could he possibly take down both of you at the same time?"

"No, it's not Kirihara Akatsuki," the man said. "It's a woman."

Suruga Daichi and Takahashi Daiki looked at each other in bewilderment.

Daiki Takahashi couldn't help but ask, "A woman?"

"A woman," the subordinate said. "She's wearing a blue dress, tall, very beautiful, and has a large [body type]."

"Is it her?" Daiki Takahashi took out his phone and showed a photo of a profile page.

It's her.

Kisaragi Shiori.

The two looked at each other again.

Daiki Takahashi couldn't help but ask, "According to the police's initial on-site investigation, judging from the angle and distance of the bullet, the shooting..."

"This woman, singing and holding a pistol, was twenty or thirty meters away from that unfortunate guy, and she shot him in the head from that distance in the middle of the night?"

The subordinate didn't know how to answer.

Even he himself found it ridiculous.

"She shot you, so how did you get stabbed? And how could she shoot you while simultaneously stabbing you? Was it Kirihara Akira?"

The subordinate shook his head: "It's the Mori family's bodyguards who have arrived."

Having heard this, the two had a basic understanding of what had happened that night.

The two walked outside.

"Father," Takahashi Daiki asked, "why are we so fixated on Kirihara Akira?"

"It's not us, and it's not me." Suruga Daichi shook his head and said, "The Kirihara family are just small fry. Although the Kirihara couple may have some secrets, they are not important figures."

I had absolutely no reason to kill him.

"Then what exactly is it for?"

"The big shot above me wants him dead."

Suruga Daichi said with a sigh, "At first, that big shot only thought that Kirihara Akira was insignificant, just like his parents. Even though he was in a key position in the Mori family, in the hands of the madam, as long as he himself was a good-for-nothing, he was not a threat."

But the important figure admitted that he had misjudged him; Kirihara Akira had been hiding his true abilities and was a dangerous person.

"If a capable person becomes a tool in the hands of the wife, shooting wherever she points, it will ruin the overall situation."

The two fell silent for a moment, their eyes filled with confusion. Suruga Daichi gave a self-deprecating laugh, shook his head, and said, "That's not something I need to worry about. I'm just a nobody, and nobodys have their own way of surviving."

Daiki Takahashi cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "Please enlighten me, Father."

Suruga Daichi said, "What you just said was that we should rebel. Well, let me tell you, no matter how we rebel or where we rebel, if our level of rebellion is not high enough, we will die no matter which path we take."

It's the same in both Kanto and Kansai; unless that woman personally vouches for him, no one can protect a traitor the Yamaei-kai has identified.

"Have you ever seen what kind of methods are used in so-called family discipline? Eating, sleeping, playing with women, defecating, and petty people taking revenge, from morning to night, we can't withstand it."

"We must not take this step until the very last moment."

Suruga Daichi took out a cigarette, and Takahashi Daiki lit it for him.

Exhaling smoke rings, Suruga Daichi continued, "Besides, our goal isn't to defect, and that big shot's enemy isn't necessarily the Yamaei-kai."

Daiki Takahashi nodded, understanding the teachings perfectly.

He then asked, "So, did Shiori Kisaragi get incredibly lucky and smear dog poop on the bullet, or... is there something wrong with her?"

Suruga Daichi closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and struggled with his thoughts.

Finally, he opened his eyes and said, "Don't investigate, don't let anyone know, this matter may be related to Kisaragi Shiori?"

'

Daiki Takahashi was taken aback, somewhat confused by his father's decision: "Even if she might be one of the cops?"

"Even if she's a cop, she's a cash cow that can bring us money," Suruga Daichi said wearily. "At the party, you already made it clear to the Crown Prince that we need both money and people."

"The words had barely left your mouth when you turned around and told the Crown Prince that the woman was a policewoman. What will he think? Will he think we're playing him for a fool? What about the money we're owed?"

"Money, money, money, it's all money! We've come this far, we can't afford to make any mistakes here."

Daiki Takahashi said, "I understand. On the left, they're playing tricks on the prince; on the right, they're colluding with the police. Either way, they're going to die."

"We must seal this bottle tightly now. We can't check it, we can't ask questions, and we can't let anyone know."

Daiki Takahashi said, "Understood. Regardless of whether Shiori Kisaragi has any issues or not, let's just assume it was an accidental incident."

No, this has absolutely nothing to do with her. She wasn't even at the scene that night. The one who committed the murder was Kirihara Akira!

Suruga Daichi nodded.

At this point, Takahashi Daiki lowered his voice, his eyes flashing with ferocity: "Then, what about that guy inside? He knows the situation, and the mission failed, so he deserves a piece of his mind—"

Suruga Daichi didn't say anything, he just patted him on the shoulder.

Daiki Takahashi understands everything.

He took out black leather gloves from his pocket, put them on, and was about to go inside when Suruga Daichi said, "Also, have you found out anything about that middleman?"

Daiki Takahashi paused, then said, "I'm still investigating, but that person is hiding too well, it will take a little more time."

o

"Hurry up and investigate. That person has the power to turn our lives around."

Suruga Daichi, smoking a cigarette, looked up at the moon and said, "That bastard Mishima Joichiro has been getting increasingly aggressive lately. We have to hurry."
