Chapter 364: Chapter 329: Gunshot at the Supreme Procuratorate, Undercover Agent Number Two Achieves a Great Feat_2

After his anger subsided, Nakamura Tatsuyuki quickly regained his composure, his gaze fixed on the ledger, his expression fluctuating between dark and light.

"Should I lift the lid on this?"

If he really did it, it would not only provoke the outrage and uproar of the public but also put the Cabinet in a difficult position, and make the officers of the Land Guard see him as an enemy.

But after only a moment’s hesitation, he made his decision on the spot. If he didn’t dare to do it, then no one in Japan would.

He had to honor the death of Mr. Kudou.

If he didn’t lift the lid, the Empire’s military would continue to rot. How would the grand revival be achieved?

For Heavenly Locust, for the Empire, and for his own ideals, he had to do what ordinary people could not.

Deciding what to do was easy, but actually doing it was not.

He could hardly find a handful of trustworthy people to deal with Nozawa Financial Corporation, let alone now when he was planning something so big. He had to think long-term.

Fortunately, the Land Guard didn’t know yet that he had the ledger in his possession. He still had time.

There were only two people he could absolutely trust now.

One was Takeshita Jun and the other was Edogawa Renju.

Edogawa Renju was suitable for direct action, but not needed for the moment. Nakamura Tatsuyuki decided to consult with Takeshita Jun first and come up with a preliminary action plan.

"Kudou is dead, the ledger wasn’t on him?"

Ito Sei, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Land Guard Staff, felt mixed emotions upon learning the news. He was glad that Kudou had been prevented from meeting Nakamura Tatsuyuki, but he was worried about the whereabouts of the ledger, which was like a ticking time bomb.

A short-term worry had turned into a long-term concern.

However, it solved the urgent crisis.

Ito Sei looked at the four soldiers who were soaked from the rain in front of him and expressed his approval and appreciation for their actions, "Well done! You executed the Staff Director’s orders decisively and eliminated the traitor to the country!"

"Yes, sir!" The four of them bowed solemnly.

Ito Sei stepped forward to straighten their collars, "Please return to your unit for now. Since it was a secret operation, there can be no commendation, but I am aware of your achievements and will reward you from other sources."

"Yes, sir!" The four saluted and then turned to leave.

Ito Sei furrowed his brow, thinking about how to find the ledger next. A ledger wasn’t like people; it couldn’t be found by secretly sending out the military.

Suddenly he thought of Aoyama Xiu Xin, whom his son had mentioned last night, and felt that he should meet and talk with Aoyama. After all, if his son could tell Aoyama and ask for his help, it indicated that Aoyama was trustworthy. If trustworthy, then naturally, Aoyama could be of use right now.

It so happened that Kudou’s death would definitely be investigated by the Police Headquarters, and he needed to communicate with Aoyama Xiu Xin.

He immediately called Ito Shanmu, "Help me arrange dinner with Aoyama Xiu Xin tonight."

When Takeshita Jun received the call from Nakamura Tatsuyuki and rushed to meet him, he was shocked beyond words after understanding the situation and was speechless for a long time.

Faced with Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s plan to lift the lid and break open the sky, he felt deeply troubled. If he didn’t join, he would lose Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s trust, but if he did join, he would surely face a life-threatening crisis.

Being an undercover agent was tough.

In the end, he chose to agree outwardly but planned to call Aoyama Xiu Xin to explain his difficulties and end his undercover career soon after.

"Excellent! Mr. Takeshita, I knew I had not misjudged you. You will surely be a comrade-in-arms who will fight alongside me!" Nakamura Tatsuyuki felt relieved and exhilarated.

Every time he faced Takeshita Jun, he always felt he was not alone in his path, which further affirmed his determination to uphold justice and serve the country.

Takeshita Jun spoke with righteous indignation, "Every era should have its warriors. Some things must be done by someone. I am willing to be the one to start."

"Well said!" Nakamura Tatsuyuki praised, then asked, "Do you have any suggestions, Mr. Takeshita?"

"This matter must be blown up, must become public knowledge. Only in this way will the higher-ups not smooth things over quietly, and we will be safer," Takeshita Jun actually had a suggestion, saying, "We could break into a live news broadcast on a TV station and disclose it, preventing the higher-ups from covering it up in time."

"A great idea!" Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s eyes lit up.

The two then discussed the details further.

Takeshita Jun took his leave first and as soon as he got into the car, he called Aoyama Xiu Xin right away.

"Police Chief Aoyama, I can’t go on as an undercover any longer. If you don’t agree, then I’m prepared to resign," he said resolutely as soon as the call connected.

Aoyama Xiu Xin felt bewildered, unsure of what had gotten into him, "Mr. Takeshita, what’s the matter?"

"Nakamura Tatsuyuki has gone mad!" Takeshita Jun’s face was twisted, "He wants to die and take me with him!"

He then briefly explained the situation.

"The ledger is in Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s hands?" Aoyama Xiu Xin focused on the key point, knowing at this moment the news of Kudou’s death, which after all was a murder case handled by the police.

Takeshita Jun was startled, detecting a different implication, "Chief, do you want that ledger?"

He had not thought that way at first, never really considering that the police and the military might have any intersection.

"Get it, even if it means exposing your identity," Aoyama Xiu Xin said without hesitation.

For others, cultivating good relations with the military might not be necessary, but for him, a rebel, it was crucial!

What’s the use of an undercover agent?

Isn’t it to make a difference at a critical moment?

Now this was the critical moment!

"Hei!" Takeshita Jun was also elated upon hearing the words.

Getting ahold of the ledger would not only end his miserable undercover life but would also earn him a favor with Aoyama Xiu Xin, instantly turning a bad situation into a boon.

Hanging up the call, he pulled a pistol from under the driver’s seat and headed straight for the teahouse where he had just met with Nakamura Tatsuyuki, pushing open the door to the private room.

"Eh, Mr. Takeshita has returned. Do you have more thoughts?" Nakamura Tatsuyuki, holding a cup of tea and about to drink, looked at Takeshita Jun in surprise.

Takeshita Jun glanced at the ledger still on the table and without another word, snatched it into his embrace.

Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s face changed, a bad premonition stirring in his heart, and he immediately stood up to demand, "Mr. Takeshita, what are you doing? Give me back the ledger!"

"Don’t come any closer!" Takeshita Jun, holding the ledger in one hand, drew out the gun with the other.

Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s expression turned very ugly, incredulous, "Mr. Takeshita, are you betraying me? Have you forgotten your original intentions, forgotten ..."

"Fuck you, I don’t care about any fucking original intentions or justice!" Takeshita Jun rudely interrupted him, venting as he spoke, "I only want a high position and a fat salary! Wealth and honor! And power!"

"Are these things really that important?" Stunned as if struck by lightning at the sight of Takeshita Jun, who was like a completely different person, Nakamura Tatsuyuki looked at him with a mix of disappointment and mockery.

Takeshita Jun was angered into laughter, "You were born with these things, of course, you don’t care. I worked hard to become a prosecutor, why should I sacrifice my career or even my life for a squabble among you powerful people? This country doesn’t belong to its citizens, it belongs to you all. Why should I struggle to maintain your order? I only care about myself now!"

As he finished speaking, he pointed the gun at Nakamura Tatsuyuki and slowly retreated until he disappeared completely from the doorway.

"Damn it!"

Nakamura Tatsuyuki cursed furiously, smashing the teacups and teapot in the room to smithereens, not expecting that after all his hunting, he would end up being the one pecked in the eye by the geese, never seeing Takeshita Jun’s true ruthless ambition, always being deceived by him.

Aoyama Xiu Xin!

Takeshita Jun must be Aoyama Xiu Xin’s man!

Was it any wonder that only he was warned by Aoyama Xiu Xin and yet firmly followed him, he must have been turned from that time, right?

Nakamura Tatsuyuki’s face contorted with fury and resentment.

He might not be able to lift the lid on the Land Guard for now.

But Nozawa Finance Corporation and vermin like Aoyama Xiu Xin, he was determined to make them pay!

Then he remembered he had told Takeshita Jun about the undercover he had placed around Aoyama Xiu Xin, though he had not revealed Edogawa Renju’s identity, Aoyama Xiu Xin would undoubtedly be on guard and vet carefully.

Thus, there was a chance that Edogawa Renju might be exposed.

Nakamura Tatsuyuki took a deep breath, composed himself, and then immediately contacted Edogawa Renju to arrange a meeting.
