After saying that, the two women looked at each other and spoke again: "Don't mimic me!"

He said the exact same thing again, and the two women rolled their eyes in exasperation.

Inspector Ōtaki hesitated, "But Chairman Achiba is, after all, a person of some standing..."

"This is in the street, and there are so many people watching."

"If we don't find anything, what will happen to the image of the Osaka Prefectural Police..."

Izuki Karuta pointed to the figure that was quickening its pace to leave: "Inspector Ōtaki, if you don't make a decision soon, he might run away."

"I don't care. Anyway, if you can't solve the bombing case, it's your Osaka police who will lose face."

These words instantly provoked Inspector Otaki.

Recalling Izuki Shigeta's unpredictable crime-solving abilities from a couple of days ago, and the secret advice from his longtime boss and old friend.

Inspector Ōtaki gritted his teeth and quickly ordered his men to stop Chairman Achiba.

"What are you going to do?!"

The head of the Achiba Association was furious: "Goro Otaki, you're not following procedures anymore when handling cases, are you?!"

"Try touching me, and I'll file a complaint against you until you quit tomorrow!"

But Inspector Otaki was determined to conduct the search.

Upon hearing Achiba's blatant threat, he immediately said coldly, "Chairman Achiba, this bombing threatens the safety of the people of Osaka."

"To clear yourself of suspicion, please cooperate with our work!"

"You can leave after a simple body search."

As he spoke, he made a gesture, and the police officers quickly surrounded Chairman Achiba and his bodyguards.

Chairman Achiba said angrily, "Since the police are not following procedures, I won't give you any face either!"

He then directed his six bodyguards to clear the way.

Several bodyguards, having been paid to perform their duties, immediately engaged in a struggle with the nearby police officers, attempting to forcibly escort their employer away.

This scene caused an uproar among the onlookers:

"Has this chairman gone mad? He's actually going against the police and even had his bodyguards assault officers."

"This Chairman Achiba is the king of real estate. Even if his bodyguards beat up a policeman, he can still be released without charge by hiring a few good lawyers."

"It's good to be rich, you don't even respect the police."

This behavior of preferring to assault police officers rather than undergo a body search...

This further fueled suspicions surrounding Chairman Achiba.

Those six bodyguards were all high-level security personnel hired by Chairman Achiba at a high price.

Without using firearms, the dozen or so police officers were no match for the enemy and were knocked down one after another.

"Achiba, you stop right there!"

Inspector Ōtaki was both angry and annoyed, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward.

However, he was quickly blocked by two bodyguards and was beaten so badly that he could only parry and had no power to fight back.

"hateful!!!"

Inspector Ōtaki could only watch helplessly as Chairman Achiba walked to the car door, about to get in and leave.

"Inspector Ōtaki, do you need my help?"

At that moment, a calm voice rang out.

"Please help me, Mr. Itake!" Inspector Otaki replied quickly.

“Then I’ll accept this commission,” Izuki Qingtian replied.

The onlookers only felt a blur before their eyes.

Yi Zhu Qingtian transformed into a blur, swiftly bypassing several bodyguards, and directly grabbed the car door that was about to close.

With a tug of the left hand, the car door swung open.

With a tug of his right hand, Chairman Achiba was forcibly pulled off the car.

"Chairman Achiba, please cooperate with the body search."

Izuki Karuta wore a polite smile.

"You bunch of useless trash, come save me!" Chairman Achiba shouted to his bodyguards, both shocked and furious.

Even with high-paid security personnel,

Compared to Izuki Karuta, he was nothing more than an ordinary person who was slightly more capable.

With a mere gesture, he easily knocked six bodyguards to the ground, unable to get up.

This scene drew spontaneous applause and cheers from the onlookers.

"This transport master from the Eastern Capital is truly amazing!"

"Isn't that obvious? He jumped from the 20th floor and came out completely unharmed!"

"Mr. Yizhu is so handsome. What should I do if I've fallen in love at first sight?"

……

With several bodyguards knocked down, Chairman Achiba had no chance to fight back.

Inspector Ōtaki quickly conducted a body search and found something resembling a bomb detonator in the pocket.

This makes it even more clear that Izuki Karita's suggestion to search her body was correct.

"Mr. Izuki is amazing!"

"My husband is amazing!"

Garden and Momiji spoke one after the other, and almost simultaneously threw themselves into Itake Karita's arms.

Seeing two beautiful young ladies from wealthy tycoons throwing themselves into his arms,

The onlookers, however, showed no envy whatsoever; they all thought it was perfectly natural.

Chapter 241 Disavowing Relationship, Provoking Hongye

"I don't know what this button is."

"I don't know why it ended up in my pocket."

"Someone must have framed me!"

Chairman Achiba still denies any involvement in the bombing.

But soon someone remembered,

Before the explosion, Chairman Achiba had plenty of time to get away, but he stayed not far from the TV station building, which resulted in him being cut by flying glass.

Inspector Otaki sneered, "I bet you only dared to approach and detonate it because the remote control's sensing range wasn't far enough!"

The bomb detonator was then sent for fingerprint testing and disassembly for identification.

They also reported to their superiors and began investigating Chairman Achiba's residence, company, and various possible channels for purchasing bombs.

Just before hanging up the phone,

Inspector Ōtaki's voice suddenly lowered, "Um... Chief, there's an expense of 100 million yen that needs to be verified..."

"100 million yen? Where did that money go?" Hattori Heizo asked, somewhat puzzled.

Inspector Ōtaki: "Actually, actually this money... was meant to get Itake Karuta to help us out..."

Then he recounted how Izuki Karuta single-handedly took down six bodyguards, detained Chairman Achiba, and successfully found crucial evidence.

Inspector Ōtaki explained somewhat guiltily, "At the time, Itake Karuta asked me if I needed help, and I agreed without thinking much about it."

"I didn't expect him to charge me money, look..."

Hattori Heizo: "I understand. We'll apply for the money from above; it won't be deducted from your salary."

Inspector Ōtaki immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After Hattori Heizo hung up the phone

Sitting across from him at the desk, Ginjiro Toyama looked regretful.

"I think this 100 million yen is either to prove... or to distance itself from the police, right?"

"I didn't expect that the bomb wasn't aimed at Izuki Karuta."

Hattori Heizo said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I guessed wrong. With Itake Karuta's skills, he could even dodge bullets."

"If we can't resolve this in one go, we might face certain death the next day."

was saying,

Hattori Heizo suddenly remembered a horrific assassination case that had occurred in the United States... or rather, an accidental death.

Therefore, he ordered Ginjiro Toyama to personally investigate Karuda Itake's travel records abroad.
