Chapter 1756

The media would definitely cover this incident after 7 a.m., and it would certainly spread all over Japan when the news was broadcasted.

If the police could not save them within 24 hours, the news would probably spread all over the world like wildfire, and not in a good way.

At that time, it would be a scandal not only for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department but for the whole of Japan!

This kind of news would paint Japan’s image as an unsafe country, and no big shots would dare to come to Tokyo in the future if the law and order in Japan were in such disarray and the ruffians were so brutal and lawless.

It was not only the wealthy and entrepreneurs who would not dare to come but also the dignitaries of various countries.

To make matters worse, Tokyo was the capital of Japan! If the scandal were to spread around the world, it would certainly put the whole of Japan in a diplomatic crisis!

Hence, the Superintendent General quickly checked with his subordinates, “Have the autopsy results come back yet?”

The chief coroner in charge of the autopsy immediately rushed over to report to the Superintendent General as well as Sheldon, “Based on our autopsy, we found that the dozen or so men from the Schulz family died of sarin gas poisoning. To be more specific, we found that they all died from liquid sarin gas poisoning.”

Sheldon frowned. “Liquid sarin gas? What do you mean?”

The coroner hurriedly explained, “At room temperature, sarin gas is a colorless oily liquid, much like glycerin. When it is used in warfare, it is made to form a large aerosol through an explosion, which can poison the enemies through both the respiratory system and skin contact.”

“But this time, the murderer must not have wanted to create any chaos by using explosion, so he resorted to using a carrier like a syringe needle, filling it with about 30 mg of liquid sarin gas, and projecting it on the victim from a certain distance, causing the victim to die of poisoning.”

The Superintendent General hurriedly asked, “Does it mean that the ninja dart was never actually used?”

“Yes, correct!”

The Superintendent General could not help but ask Sheldon, “Schulz-san, do you think the mastermind behind this incident could be an enemy of the Schulz family?”

Sheldon huffed with a livid face. “I don’t know who my enemies are... all I know is that my son and daughter were kidnapped in Tokyo! You must bring them both back to me, unharmed!”

The Superintendent General was so desperate that he quickly urged his officers, “Your priority is to continue the search. Do not miss any suspected locations, vehicles, or people! Second, release both Ito Yahiko and Takahashi Machi, and then closely monitor their every move to see if we can get any clues!”

When Machi, who was in the interrogation room, heard that he was allowed to go home, he hastily asked, “It isn’t safe to be out these days, so can I please stay in the police station for a while?”

The police officer in charge of the case was furious by his remark. “Do you think the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is a hotel? Hurry up and get out of here, or we’ll kick you out!”

Dejected, Machi hurried home from the police department with a few bodyguards escorting him.

On the way home, Machi had been on pins and needles. He was afraid that someone would try to kill him. Furthermore, Masatetsu and his fellow ninjas were not with him, so if something happened, he would not even be able to defend himself.

He immediately called Masatetsu, but no one answered the phone after several attempts, making him even more nervous.

“What the hell is going on here? It’s been a few hours, so it’s about time for them to get back to Tokyo from Osaka. Why can’t I get through to them?”

Thinking of this, he could not help but get irritated and attempted several phone calls to Masatetsu’s juniors, but none of them were reachable.

He had a premonition that something had gone terribly wrong. Had Masatetsu and his other two juniors been killed by those mysterious ninjas, just like their youngest junior?

Just as he was thinking of it, his butler called, and as soon as the call was answered, a panicked voice was heard. “Master, was there a mysterious man who just sent you a big gift?”

Machi asked in horror, “A big gift? What gift?”

“A truck!”
