The Genius System Without Equal - Chapter 605

Chapter 605: The Lead is Here

After leaving Lotus Manor, Xiao Luo furrowed his brows again. Although the Asou family might have nothing to do with the missing Hua Nation people, Xiao Luo did some terrible things at Lotus Manor tonight. He failed to control himself, and he expected these actions to cause him some trouble. After all, the Asou family had one of their own, Asou Shuyao, who was the Chief Inspector at the Metropolitan Police. Even if that was not so, the police or military might still hunt him down. The Asou family had a rather significant position and influence in the Ri nation.

“It’s still early.”

Xiao Luo sighed but did not regret the things he had done.

He took a taxi back to his residence, took a shower, and changed into fresh clothing. He then headed to the hospital to visit Miyazaki Ronjin. The injuries on Xiao Luo’s body had recovered by now, and there was not a scar on his body. The head of the Metropolitan Police Department, Tanaka Hiroshi, and the Chief Inspector Asou Shuyao, were already at the hospital when Xiao Luo arrived. Though it was rather late in the night, they did not take their break but rushed to the hospital when they heard about an urgent case. They presented themselves very professionally with such an attitude.

Kimura Akino felt relieved when he saw Xiao Luo walking in.

“Xiao Han-san can testify for us. We saw a biochemical human being. A layer of green-colored scales formed and covered Wang Leyou’s entire body! Not even bullets could penetrate through it. He did not die even when his body was pierced through. It was only when his head had been smashed that he finally collapsed,” Kimura Akino explained.

“Is that so, Xiao-san?” Tanaka Hiroshi asked Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo nodded his head and answered, “Yes.”

“You’re lying!” shouted Asou Shuyao.

She raised her eyebrows and mocked, “Biochemical human being? What do you mean you can’t kill him with bullets! Can’t you make up a better story? How can you say something as ridiculous as this and still keep such a straight face? Do you think everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department is a fool?” She turned to Tanaka Hiroshi and said, “Department Head, I am sure they are trying to hide something. I suggest we file a case against the three of them and investigate thoroughly.”

“File a case?” asked Tanaka Hiroshi.

He frowned and continued, “Tell me why you’re suggesting that.”

Asou Shuyao nodded stiffly and said, “Looking at the damage on the car and the headless corpse, I have sufficient evidence to suspect that it must have been a car accident. There is an eighty to ninety percent chance that their car ran over and killed the man.”

“I suggest that you check his identity and confirm that the body belongs to the Hua Nation man, Wang Leyou. Then you’ll know that we’re telling the truth,” Miyazaki Ronjin said. He was lying on the hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around his shoulder.

“Yes, yes. If you confirm the identity of the corpse, then it proves that what we have been telling you is the truth,” Kimura Akino pitched in.

His eyes were glinting as if he had finally spotted land after drifting in a vast ocean, and he added, “The color of his blood was green. It is not the same as an ordinary human being. Department Head, please trust everything we have told you.”

“Hmm.” Tanaka Hiroshi nodded his head a little and responded vaguely.

At that moment, Asou Shuyao’s phone started ringing. She walked to a corner as she answered the call. The look on her face changed as she listened to the person on the other end. After putting down the phone, she turned to Tanaka Hiroshi and said, “Department Head, something has happened to my family. I have to head back now to settle some matters.”

“Is everything alright? Okay, go then,” Tanaka Hiroshi said, gesturing with his hand.

Asou Shuyao immediately turned and left, but she stopped for a moment before she exited the hospital ward, and took a glance at Xiao Luo before she walked out. She glared at him like he was an enemy.

Xiao Luo remained calm, and he did not feel or look the least bit guilty at all.

Suddenly, a police officer ran in gasping and reported frantically. “Department Head, something happened… It’s not good. A mysterious group of people attacked our patrol car and took the headless corpse with them!”

What?

Everyone in the ward looked surprised. To have the audacity to attack a police car–what outlaws are these?

“Huh? Are there any casualties?” Tanaka Hiroshi asked.

The police officer had a devastated look on his face. “Yes, five of them were killed on the spot. More than a dozen of them are severely injured,” he said.

“Fools!”

Tanaka Hiroshi snarled. He turned his head around to look at Miyazaki Ronjin and said, “Ronjin-kun, rest well and leave this to me. I believe all the things that you guys have said. It seems like there is a group of outlaws conducting some secret experiment here in Ri nation. I intend to arrest all of them. Let’s go!”

When he said that, he emanated an awe-inspiring aura and strode out vigorously.

“Da*n it. Now that he realizes that there’s so much to gain from this case, he’s suddenly so much more enthusiastic. He’s going to work harder than anyone else, knowing him. Huh!” Miyazaki Ronjin ranted. He spat at the floor to express how felt about Tanaka Hiroshi–his words and actions were rather shameless.

“That’s why he’s the Department Head, while you’re just the head inspector,” Xiao Luo quipped.

“What the hell do you know. I just don’t want to fight with him,” Miyazaki Ronjin retorted.

He stretched for his pack of cigarettes. Even this simple act of going for his cigarettes caused his entire body to experience an immense amount of pain.

Luckily for Kimura Akino’s sharp eyes and swift hands. He helped take the cigarette, put one between Miyazaki Ronjin’s lips, and lit it for him.

After a satisfying puff, the dopamine effect kicked in and Miyazaki Ronjin felt as elevated as an immortal. He could feel the pain in his body subside that very instant. He took a deep long and sighed,”Xiao-san, what did you do at Lotus Manor?” he asked.

“I did not do anything,” Xiao Luo replied.

“Don’t lie to me. If you did nothing, then Asou Shuyao would not have looked so distressed and left in such a hurry,” said Miyazaki Ronjin. He looked at Xiao Luo with his pair of sharp eyes, as if trying to see through him.

Xiao Luo laughed but said nothing else.A phone call interrupted the awkward atmosphere. It was an unknown number, but Xiao Luo picked it up, anyway.

“Hello,” Xiao Luo answered.

“Is this Xiao Han-kun? This is Suzuki Ikuo,” a respectful voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.

“Is something the matter?” Xiao Luo responded.

“We have a lead regarding the Black SUV,” Suzuki Ikuo said.

A lead?

That fast? Had he not just asked him to search for leads two hours ago? Since when was H Society so much more efficient than the police?

Xiao Luo had his doubts, but as long as there was a lead, he would not ignore it, even if it was a long shot. He did not know if the Lady Poison Fu Yiren was dead or alive. They might have already turned her into a genetically mutated human being, and the possibility of this was worrying Xiao Luo.

“Miyazaki-san, have a good rest. I’ve to go settle some things,” Xiao Luo said, then he turned to leave.

“Xiao-san, do you consider me a friend?” Miyazaki Ronjin had a hard time sitting up as he called out after Xiao Luo.

A friend?

The question surprised Xiao Luo. He turned his head around to look at Miyazaki Ronjin straight in the eye and said, “Yes.”

Miyazaki Ronjin might not have given him a favorable first impression, but Xiao Luo had by now changed his opinion of the man. Miyazaki Ronjin had acknowledged the history of the Sino-Japanese War, faced up to that period of history, and stood on his side during his altercation with Asou Shuyao. Putting everything else aside, this alone was enough for him to consider Miyazaki Ronjin as a friend.

“It is my honor, then. But I hope you don’t break any laws of Ri nation. Otherwise, no matter where you run or hide, I’ll find you and arrest you,” Miyazaki Ronjin said.

He had a conflicted look on his face and had a funny feeling that Xiao Luo had already committed an exceedingly severe crime.

“I’ve only killed those who deserved to die.”

Xiao Luo said and left without looking back. It was an interesting statement of fact.

Miyazaki Ronjin stared at the exit after Xiao Luo walked out and was speechless. He had this unsettling feeling that Xiao Luo was about to begin a reign of terror in Dongjing. It would be unimaginably bloody and horrifying.

“Miyazaki-san, what do you think Xiao Han-san’s body is made of? How is it possible for him not to be injured even after colliding with a car?” asked Kimura Akino, looking puzzled and confused.

Miyazaki Ronjin forced a smile and said, “Why don’t you go to the Hua Nation and learn some martial arts? Then, maybe you’ll be able to figure that out.”
