Chapter 405: Chapter 360: Critical Moment, Immediately Launch a Fierce Assault and Kill Everyone!_2

"If they knew we were police from Tokyo, they would instantly realize our purpose and would kill us without hesitation to silence us."

Indeed, as Nakamura Shinichi had anticipated, Chongtian Xingping was reporting to Tanaka Guikuma, "President Tanaka, the person you asked me to surround has been cornered. He’s been identified through surveillance along the way. It’s him for sure. Even though we can’t see his face clearly, his clothing and build match. Currently, he and four accomplices have taken two police officers hostage and are hiding in an abandoned residential building. What do you suggest we do?"

Hearing about the police being taken hostage, Tanaka Guikuma slightly relaxed. Considering such an act, it indicated it wasn’t someone from official personnel, which made the situation easier to handle.

"Ask for their demands and handle it according to your normal procedures, but make sure you catch them!" Tanaka Guikuma rubbed his somewhat throbbing temples that night.

"Hey!" Chongtian Xingping acknowledged, then immediately added, "I’ll head to the scene myself right now."

Tanaka Guikuma nodded in approval.

At that moment, Gangcun Xiu walked in to report, "President, we’ve gotten a confession from the leader."

Tanaka Guikuma immediately headed out. Led by Gangcun Xiu, he arrived in a room where Suzuki Makoto was now bound by her hands and suspended.

"I remember you, Makoto. Tell me, why did you do this, and who’s behind you?" Tanaka Guikuma asked with a dark expression.

"Ptui!" Suzuki Makoto, dangling in the air, glared at him with hateful eyes and spat. Gnashing her teeth, she said, "My biggest regret is not having killed you, the root of all evil. You’ll go to Hell!"

"I’ll go to Hell?" Tanaka Guikuma wiped the spit off his face, then took the whip handed to him by Gangcun Xiu and began to ferociously lash Suzuki Makoto. He was venting all his anger and hostility from the night, and through gritted teeth said, "If you don’t talk, you’ll be the one going to Hell first!"

With each strike, the whip made a sound of tearing through the air.

Her thin dress was easily ripped apart, leaving behind streaks of bright red wounds.

"Ah!" She screamed in pain, also cursing continuously, "You’re a devil! You’ve always exploited us, using us as tools... Ah!"

"Ungrateful wretch! If it weren’t for my great kindness, you’d be picking up garbage somewhere right now!" Tanaka Guikuma was hysterical, his face twisted with rage as he roared, "You should be grateful and repay kindness!"

Unable to endure the whipping, Suzuki Makoto quickly fainted from the crazy beating by Tanaka Guikuma.

But she was swiftly revived by a bucket of cold water.

Already tired from beating her, a panting Tanaka Guikuma grabbed her hair and demanded through clenched teeth, "Was it the young man in a white suit tonight, looking all neat and tidy, who ordered you to do this? Speak up, who is he!"

Suzuki Makoto couldn’t understand what he was saying, nor did she have the strength to curse anymore, but she found an opportunity to anger him and showed a mocking smile weakly saying, "I won’t tell you."

"Idiot!" Tanaka Guikuma cursed in frustration and screamed, "Beat her! Keep beating her!"

..........

Meanwhile, by the time Chongtian Xingping hurried to the scene, another half hour had passed.

"Listen up inside, this is Chongtian Xingping, Osaka Prefecture Police Headquarters Director. Do not harm the hostages under any circumstances. Everything is negotiable. You can make any demands to me." Chongtian Xingping took the megaphone from his subordinate’s hands, personally trying to persuade them to surrender.

Nakamura Shinichi glanced at his watch; he needed to stall for at least two more hours. He responded, "Pah! Don’t think I’ll believe your crap. You police are the biggest liars, always aiming to capture us."

Negotiations in a standoff with criminals often drag on for hours. As long as he could control the pace, he was confident he could delay until Aoyama Xiu Xin’s backup arrived.

"You’re misunderstanding us. In any case, our police force prioritizes the safety of the hostages above all else. As long as the hostages are unharmed, we can agree to your demands." Chongtian Xingping struggled to suppress his impatience and rage, pretending to be calm and composed.

"I don’t believe you. Unless you retreat a hundred meters first to show sincerity, then we can continue talking..."

Nakamura Shinichi wasn’t inexperienced in negotiating with criminals, so he knew very well how to use it to buy time.

Concerned for the personal safety of the two hostages officers and the emphasis from President Tanaka on capturing them alive made Chongtian Xingping dare not give the order for a forcible assault, and he could only be led by the nose by Nakamura Shinichi.

As Nakamura Shinichi kept dragging his feet, another two hours swiftly passed. Chongtian Xingping did not know how many times he had sipped water, his mouth nearly dry from talking.

"Director, something doesn’t seem right. The criminals are not proposing any demands. Could they be deliberately delaying?" One of his subordinates, as a detached observer, suggested a reminder.

Chongtian Xingping was initially stunned, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, what good does delaying do for them? Do they still have accomplices daring to rescue them from the police cordon?"

"Just a passing thought," replied the subordinate who had alerted him, thinking it made sense, and could only attribute it to Nakamura Shinichi and his crew’s excessive lack of a sense of security.

Not wanting to surrender easily yet afraid to speak for fear of being outwitted by the police, so they continued the standoff.

Meanwhile, at the same time, personnel from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who had raced all the way from Tokyo had arrived in Osaka City.

After they had identified themselves, the officers in charge at the highway checkpoint didn’t dare to stop them and let them through immediately, but they called their superiors, and the information eventually reached Chongtian Xingping after a series of reports.

"People from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? At least twenty cars? What are they doing here with so many people?"

Chongtian Xingping was utterly baffled, but recalling tonight’s incident at the charity home auditorium, he felt a strong sense of disquiet—a faint realization that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.

He had no choice but to call President Tanaka for advice.

Upon hearing the news, President Tanaka was momentarily stunned but then quickly understood everything.

The stranger who had appeared in the auditorium was unrelated to tonight’s bloodshed but an undercover officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department gathering evidence. He had been running around with his cellphone; was it really just a cellphone?

He was stalling, unwilling to propose any terms to Chongtian Xingping, deliberately delaying time waiting for backup.

Realizing this, he was filled with shock and anger, hysterically shouting, "Attack immediately, kill them all!"

"Ah?" Chongtian Xingping was completely dumbfounded.

President Tanaka had no time to explain, he said breathlessly, "I will find someone to intercept the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers to delay them. You attack right now, kill everyone inside, and retrieve all their cellphones. This way we might still have a chance, otherwise, we are all doomed tonight!"
