Chapter 344: Chapter 314: Our Police Will Not Compromise with Any Criminal (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

The Yamasaki Family.

The vengeance continued in the dark basement.

Mrs. Yamasaki and Shimura Ao had pale faces, their legs and feet covered in blood, with pools of blood forming beneath them. If they were allowed to keep bleeding like this, they’d probably be dead within an hour.

But Yamasaki Katsu wasn’t about to let that happen, because he wouldn’t need an hour to kill his wife and Shimura Ao, the adulterous pair.

"Mr. Yamasaki, listen to me, killing us now won’t do you any good, so why throw away your life over two pieces of trash like us? Just let me go, and I won’t pursue this, and I’ll even give you a sum of money..." Shimura Ao, feeling his legs getting numb, was desperate and kept babbling, trying to persuade Yamasaki Katsu to spare them.

"Shut up!" Yamasaki Katsu roared, a hideous sneer on his face: "Who said killing you two would do me no good? At least I’d feel good inside! Living any other way would just be suffocating! Money? I don’t want your stinking money!"

As his words fell, he tossed aside the hammer, limped to a corner, and dragged a rusty pair of pliers toward the couple. The pliers screeched across the floor, making a piercing friction sound.

"Ah! What are you going to do! Don’t come over here!"

"Mr. Yamasaki! Mr. Yamasaki, calm down!"

Mrs. Yamasaki and Shimura Ao, terror-stricken, watched as Yamasaki Katsu came closer and closer, struggling frantically but unable to move because their injuries prevented even the thought of toppling the chairs they were in.

"Bang!"

The pliers clattered heavily on the ground, revealing a cruel and insane smile on Yamasaki Katsu’s sallow face.

"I’ve heard that every finger is connected to the heart; I want to try that."

No sooner had he spoken than he kicked out.

"Clang!"

Shimura Ao, along with his chair, was kicked to the ground.

Then he kicked over his wife in the same manner.

"Clang!"

"Who first?" Yamasaki Katsu murmured to himself, then smiled, "Family should always come first."

With that, he looked at his wife.

Her fingers were so white and delicate.

"Please, no, please don’t do this, I know I was wrong," Mrs. Yamasaki cried, her face drained of color, shaking her head and begging for mercy.

Yamasaki Katsu remained unmoved, stepped forward, placed one of her fingers in the pliers, and pressed down hard.

"Crack!"

Half a bloody fingertip flew off, and fresh blood soaked the stump, gushing out.

"Ahhhh!" Mrs. Yamasaki screamed in agony, her body went rigid, and she nearly fainted.

"You have to be fair to both." Yamasaki Katsu said, looking toward Shimura Ao, and with a smile, he put one of Ao’s fingers in the pliers.

Shimura Ao screamed chaotically, "Mr. Yamasaki, please, don’t, please don’t do this."

"Crack!"

Half of a thumb flew off.

Shimura Ao convulsed and trembled in pain.

This way, Yamasaki Katsu cut off one finger after another from both victims, relishing in it until faint sounds of police sirens and megaphone announcements approached.

"Yamasaki Katsu! You are surrounded! Immediately release the hostages and surrender!"

"Save me! Save me! Hurry and save me!" Shimura Ao cried out tearfully upon hearing the announcement, as if his own father was calling, and he screamed at the top of his voice for help from the basement, despite not knowing if he could be heard outside.

Mrs. Yamasaki was also tearfully excited.

Yamasaki Katsu frowned, confused about how the police had arrived so quickly, especially since Shimura Ao had a murder charge on him for killing his wife and presumably wouldn’t dare call the police himself.

"Husband, surrender, surrender, then we can all live. You’ve let out enough anger, haven’t you?"

Mrs. Yamasaki pleaded with a face full of longing.

"I could live, but whether you two will is uncertain."

Yamasaki Katsu intended to kill them both but never considered dying with them, unwilling to fall into the law’s hands.

As he spoke, he lifted the heavy pliers and slammed them into his wife’s face, splattering blood and leaving her unrecognizable in an instant.

"Ah!"

Warm blood splashed onto Shimura Ao’s face, who screamed in horror, his mouth agape and his eyes filled with terror.

Yamasaki Katsu continued to batter with the pliers.

Only when Mrs. Yamasaki’s head was mashed to pulp and her face nearly minced meat did he stop, panting heavily.

"This is what a slut deserves!"

He cursed through gritted teeth, took a few heavy breaths, then untied Shimura Ao and, knife in hand, limped, dragging him out of the basement.

As Shimura Ao’s legs were broken and his ten fingers clipped, he was completely powerless to resist, allowing Yamasaki Katsu to drag him, leaving a long trail of blood on the floor, the pungent smell of blood pervasive.

Eventually reaching the living room, Yamasaki Katsu threw Shimura Ao on the ground, then sat on the couch, gasping for breath to regain his strength, smiling at the flashing red and blue lights outside, then shouted hoarsely, "Listen up, cops outside, city council member Shimura Ao is in my hands, if you don’t want him to die, do as I say!"

The police couldn’t ignore Shimura Ao’s safety.

"I’m Shimura Ao! Do not attack! Nobody attacks! Do as he says! Everybody do as he says!" Shimura Ao hollered desperately.

Nakamura Shinichi never expected a council member to be among the hostages, and was immediately troubled. He could only call Aoyama Xiu Xin at Police Headquarters to report and ask for a decision.

At the same time, Yamasaki Katsu shouted, "I’m giving you five minutes to prepare a car and a driver for me, one million US dollars, fill the car with gas, the clock starts now, a second late and we all go down!"

Whether he could escape or not, he had to try.

"Did you hear? Get moving! All of you listen to him!" Shimura Ao continued to scream hysterically.

The Takizawa family, in the living room, Takizawa Shikou was laying on the table, feigning unconsciousness, while Hashimoto Miho was disheveled in front of him, being wholeheartedly attended to by Aoyama Xiu Xin, one hand still resting on his shoulder for support.

Even though Takizawa Shikou dared not open his eyes, he could still feel his wife’s sweat occasionally dripping onto his face and head, which stirred his emotions.

His wife was indeed suffering, and he felt a pang of heartache.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

Suddenly, the ringing of a telephone erupted.

Crouching on the ground, Takizawa Chiyu stood up, picked up the cordless phone and obediently held it to Aoyama Xiu Xin’s ear.

"Moshi, moshi."

"Police Headquarters..." Nakamura Shinichi reported the truth.

After listening, Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed, "Shimura Ao, this clown who constantly criticizes our police force, now he also needs the police to save him? We have to show him through our actions that his criticism is justified."

"The meaning of Police Headquarters is..." Nakamura Shinichi actually understood but wanted a more explicit command.

"The one Yamazaki Katsu is holding hostage is Shimura Ao, not you. The police will never share the sky with evil and will never compromise with any criminal!" Aoyama Xiu Xin declared.

Nakamura Shinichi responded, "Hai!"

After the call ended, Nakamura Shinichi snatched the bullhorn from a subordinate, "I’m giving you one last chance, three seconds to come out and surrender! Otherwise, if you don’t come out, I’ll come in!"

A hard-core persuasion, emphasizing a domineering approach.

"Shimura Ao is in my hands, if you dare, storm in!" Yamazaki Katsu seemed fearless.

Nakamura Shinichi simply ordered, "Attack."

Upon his command, the previously prepared tear gas canisters were instantly fired and all entered the house.

Yamazaki Katsu was stunned for a moment, not expecting the police to actually dare an assault.

Weren’t they supposed to prioritize the safety of hostages?

Do they not care about the life and death of a member of parliament?

"Idiot! You assholes! Who is your superior! I want to sue you! Who gave you the order to attack! Get out! Get out, all of you!" Shimura Ao was also panic-stricken, his eyes red as he shouted and cursed furiously.

"Since you’re useless, then go to hell." Yamazaki Katsu lunged forward, pinning Shimura Ao beneath him, his hands viciously strangling his neck and applying force.

Shimura Ao’s eyes widened, his bloodied, fingerless hands flailing at Yamazaki Katsu, emitting intermittent hoarse sounds, feeling his breathing growing more and more difficult, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.

He didn’t want to die, he didn’t want to die at all!

But soon he stopped struggling.

"Bang!"

The police officers in charge of the assault broke down the door and, wearing masks unaffected by the tear gas smoke, surrounded Yamazaki Katsu with guns. After confirming he had no weapons, they kicked him away and then two officers pinned him down firmly.

"Don’t move! Stay down on the ground!"

Yamazaki Katsu did not resist, submitting to their control.

"Report to the commander! The suspect has been captured, two hostages are dead, and one infant is unconscious."

After a quick search of the house, the assault team leader reported to Nakamura Shinichi, who was on his way out.

"Get the child to the hospital immediately," Nakamura Shinichi ordered, then turned to look at Yamazaki Katsu, who was being escorted by two men, and delivered a heavy slap across his face.

"Slap!"

A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Yamazaki Katsu’s mouth.

"Dare to threaten me?" Nakamura Shinichi growled coldly, "Take him back, and see to it that he’s ’well accommodated.’"

"Hai!"

Yamazaki Katsu’s head buzzed, and suddenly he felt Shimura Ao’s criticism of the police was far too restrained.

These weren’t police officers!

They were nothing but terrorists with badges.

..........

That night, the Police Headquarters urgently held a press conference to disclose details about the murder of Mrs. Shimura.

The first half was announced truthfully, such as Mrs. Yamazaki and the blonde plotting after Shimura Ao’s estate, Shimura Ao seeking Yamazaki Katsu to shield Mrs. Yamazaki for murdering his wife...

However, concerning Shimura Ao’s death, the story was altered stating that when the police arrived at the scene, Shimura Ao had already been killed along with Mrs. Yamazaki, and they successfully captured Yamazaki Katsu who was about to flee after committing the crime.

After all, Shimura Ao was already dead, and after a trip through the interrogation room, Yamazaki Katsu became very cooperative with the police, so there was no one to prove that the police were lying.

In the end, the Police Headquarters urged the citizens to discern some politicians’ smear campaigns against the police, such as Shimura Ao—who criticized the police but was himself a criminal shielding a murderer. The public should know the kind of people who criticize the police.

The next day, as the morning news reported the police’s announcement from the previous night, the public was in uproar, especially Shimura Ao’s supporters, who found it unacceptable.

After all, you constantly accuse the police of being flawed in this way or that, and it turns out you yourself are a criminal. No wonder you always attacked the police.

Plus promoting falsehoods, misleading us, truly a grave sinner, unworthy of sympathy in death!

Shimura Ao’s reputation was tarnished after death as much, if not more, than it was when he was alive, with posthumous criticism mounting against him.

And yet, the quick resolution of this bizarre case already demonstrated the police’s capabilities, and validated that all of Shimura Ao’s previous criticisms and belittlements were baseless.

Of course, some conspiracy theorists believed that the police had a vendetta against Shimura Ao, so they deliberately didn’t do their best to rescue him, leading to his death. But such claims were scoffed at; after all, Japan is a civilized developed country. How could its law enforcers commit such misdeeds!

What is the motive behind such statements? Are you like Shimura Ao, a well-disguised criminal?

While Shimura Ao caused many negative impacts on the police’s reputation during his lifetime, his death brought about a lot of positive publicity for them.

Except for his own unwillingness to die.

Everybody else was more than happy.
