Awakening Chapter 157

“Let us go, time is running out.” Lei Yin turned to Eiko Kotoshi and said. In the tunnel, Eiko Kotoshi followed behind Lei Yin as she looked at his back with a complex look. Until now, she has not able to recover from the previous shock. It was really hard for her to imagine there was really such a terrifying martial arts in this world. After running for about ten minutes, the two finally came to the end of the tunnel. It was a heavy iron gate, but Lei Yin did not immediately open the door. Instead, he first knocked the door five times using the butt of the gun. Then, he walked to the keypad right next to the iron gate and pressed several numbers. When he finished, they heard a “klak” sound, and then from the side of the door came the sound of metal against metal. Lei Yin slightly pushed the door open. Behind the iron door, there was a very narrow space. “The exit is above the ladder. There is no light here, so you have to be careful.” With that, he shut the iron door, and then slowly climbed up the ladder. After the policewoman climbed out of the ladder, she found that she was surrounded by a lush meadow, and the nearby area was covered by Mahogany trees. When she looked back at the ladder where she crawled out from, it turned out to be a sewer entrance. “Where is this place?” She asked the nearby Lei Yin. “This is a golf course about two kilometers away from Shintaro Ikeyama’s mansion.” The female police inspector only now truly understood how much larger the scale of the basement compared to what she imagined. As if knowing what she was thinking, Lei Yin said: “Actually, the main part of the basement was not so big. It’s just that, when they initially constructed the basement, they deliberately build such a long tunnel to facilitate their escape.” Recalling how well he understood about the basement, the female police inspector stared at him once again, “Who exactly are you?” “I am not going to tell you. All you need to know is that I am not with them.” At this time, Lei Yin suddenly clapped his hands. While the female police inspector was still somewhat confused, three heavily armed, similarly dressed in black, black hooded men, suddenly came out from among the trees. Seeing the sudden appearance of the three men, the female police inspector instinctively pulled out her handgun. “They came to pick us up. How is that man?” Lei Yin said the last sentence to the three men. “He has been knocked out by us and now kept in the car.” One of the men replied. “Very good, we are leaving now.” The three men immediately led him to walk outside. Eiko Kotoshi hesitated, but finally put away her gun and followed them. The five people arrived at the outside road. The female police inspector saw there were two cars parked there. At the first car, she was surprised to find the middle-aged man named Eguchi was tied and lying on the back seat. Beside him also sat the similarly covered in the head with a black cloth man in black. “Get in the car, we still have some leftover things to do.” Lei Yin opened the back door of another car, looked at Eiko Kotoshi, and said to her. After taking a look at him, she slowly walked and get in the car. The two cars stopped in a slightly hidden place near Shintaro Ikeyama’s mansion. Actually, even if they pulled up right in front of the main entrance, no one would notice. Because at this time, the mansion was even livelier than when there was a party just a few hours ago. Fire engines, ambulances, police vehicles, as well as varieties of cars were parked outside. Everywhere one can see people constantly running back and forth. Although there was no serious fire, but on top of the five-story mansion of the Mayor of Tokyo, there were two exceptionally dazzling explosions. Someone actually dared to bomb the mansion of the Mayor of Tokyo? Presently, in addition to the firefighters who constantly cleaned up the scene, those journalists as well as curious passersby constantly came like locusts. Even though now was already late at night, for the sake of obtaining the first-hand information, these reporters all made a live coverage. In this getting-bigger-by-the-seconds case, even the newly appointed Police Head, as well as many Congressmen also came to the scene. When they just arrived, they were immediately being surrounded by reporters holding out their microphones. “Mr. Director, is this caused by the terrorist?” “Mr. Hiroshiyama, do you want to make a statement?” “Sorry, I just got here, and not very sure about the specific, please let it go.” “Have they found Mr. Ikeyama? Did he die in the explosions?” “Sorry, please let me pass.” Ignoring the war-like scene on the outside, after taking down the earplugs, Eiko Kotoshi asked the nearby Lei Yin: “Is Shintaro Ikeyama himself personally recorded this tape?” “Haven’t you heard his voice?” “How could he be so honest and tell everything?” “You do not need to worry about this, in short, I can guarantee you that this tape is real.” “Then what do you want me to do?” The female police inspector knew that there must be some other purposes for why he brought her here. “It is very simple, do the things that a police officer should do, expose this thing out in the open. Now it is the best opportunity because those things are still in the basement, moreover, you also have the voice recording of Shintaro Ikeyama. As long as you lead the search with your subordinates as well as those reporters, the truth will come out. That is why I did not let you kill Shintaro Ikeyama. You have to start now, otherwise, those things will be transferred once again. At that time, even if you want to take your revenge, you will not have the opportunity to do so.” “You mean you want me to expose those things in front of these many reporters?” “Correct, if you do not blow these things up, any senior official here can stop you from exposing it. Moreover, this will also ensure the safety of you and your family. You should know, all the official names that are listed in this tape, all of them are incredible figures. If you let them know that you have this thing, they will certainly kill you to close your mouth, therefore, this is your only chance.” After lowering her head to think for a long time, Eiko finally opened the car door. Watching her went further and further away, Lei Yin smiled.
