After hearing Mingzhi Jianwu's words, Zhongyan's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a look of disbelief:

"He is a talent I poached from the publishing house, and he has been with me for several years. You now say that he is a nationally wanted criminal. Do you have any evidence? Show it and see?"

"Due to the seriousness of the case, the police are temporarily unable to disclose specific details."

Tactfully yet resolutely, Akechi Kensoo rejected Tonkuchi Shigehiko's proposal.

But in this regard, Tonkou Zhongyan was not to be outdone and couldn't help but say:

"Officer, you didn't bring any evidence and just insisted that my secretary is... a nationally wanted criminal? Isn't it too childish? Besides, which department are you a police officer? Why don't I seem to have seen you before?

?”

"Congressman Tunkou..."

Faced with Tonkou Shigehiko's inquiry, Akechi Kenwu remained unhurried, took out his ID from his pocket, put it in front of the other party, and replied:

"I am Detective Akechi Kenwu of the Metropolitan Police Department. Your secretary is involved in a serious case. If necessary, can you also come with us to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation... Regarding you and your secretary, we would like to

Let’s talk to you in detail!”

"Wise... vigilant..."

Carefully, Tunkou Shigehiko looked at the certificate that Akechi Kenwu took out, and at the job title written on it seriously. Tunkou Shigehiko frowned slightly, and his expression began to become a little solemn.

At this time, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi had already inspected the guests present, returned to Kengo Akechi, and shook their heads at Kengo Akechi, indicating that they had not found anyone.

Therefore, Akechi Kanwu turned to Tunkou Shigehiko with a serious look on his face, and seemed to be considering whether to start from Councilor Tunkou's side or send police officers to search the entire hotel.

And this, seeing the change in Akechi Kengo's demeanor, Tunkou Shigehiko couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling a very strong sense of oppression rising from Akechi Kengo.

But at this moment, Mingzhi Jianwu’s cell phone rang——

It's the caller ID of "Wise and Gaoyuan".

In response to this, Mingzhi Jianwu couldn't help but breathe a little sigh of relief, knowing that Gao Yuan had already discovered it, but he still kept a serious expression and answered the phone.

But before Ming Ming Jianwu could talk to Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone, there was a commotion outside the banquet hall.

At the same time, a police officer also rushed in from outside the banquet hall and reported the situation outside to Mingzhi Jianwu——

Someone just fell to his death from the upstairs of the Rice Flower Hotel!

…

Turn your gaze and return to Gao Yuan.

Just as Gao Yuan called Akechi Kengo's mobile phone, he was ready to report the current situation to Akechi Kengo, so that the police could quickly notice Tanaka Ichiro who had fled to the upper floors of the hotel.

But before Gao Yuan could speak, Gao Yuan clearly heard from the phone that a police officer from Ming Zhi Jianwu reported to Ming Zhi Jianwu——

Someone fell from the upstairs of the Rice Flower Hotel and died!

In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look towards the door leading to the rooftop not far away, and realized that something had happened at this moment, so he hurriedly reported to Mingzhi Jianwuhui while running:

"Wise vigilance, on the rooftop!"

Simple and clear, after Gao Yuan said this, he accelerated his pace even faster, preparing to go to the rooftop to block the opponent's retreat——

Although I haven't seen the specific situation, the current situation must be that one person between Tanaka Ichiro and that man was killed by the other.

Therefore, in order to confirm the situation as soon as possible, Gao Yuan had to go to the rooftop to see——

If it was Ichiro Tanaka who actually killed the other party, then maybe with his ability as a "puppet master", he might even be able to escape in this situation!

This is something I will never allow!

Therefore, Gao Yuan quickly arrived at the door leading to the rooftop and was about to open the door and go in——

"Wait a minute! Mr. Gao Yuan..."

At this time, seeing Gao Yuan preparing to open the door without knowing what was going on behind the door, Chengzhong Jade, who had already caught up, hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

But even though Gao Yuan was ready to stop because of Chengzuka Jade's words, the door was forcibly opened from the outside——

Oncoming, I saw Tanaka Ichiro's figure appearing outside the door, smiling strangely at Gao Yuan. Then, before Gao Yuan could react, Tanaka Ichiro threw something towards Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's reaction was quite quick, and he immediately dodged the object thrown by the other party, but then, Tanaka Ichiro unexpectedly closed the door again.

In this regard, Gao Yuan, who still didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, heard Shirozuka Hisui's anxious words——

"Mr. Gao Yuan! Smoke!"

After saying that, Chengzhong Jade immediately covered his mouth and nose.

Gao Yuan, on the other hand, looked in the direction of Shirozuka Jade's line of sight, and saw that the thing thrown by Ichiro Tanaka just now had fallen down the stairs to the corner platform of the stairs on the next floor. This thing, which looked like a small sandbag, was flying very fast. Some looming smoke came out from it and spread quickly——

"It's the drug he used for hypnosis! Absolutely..."

Covering her mouth, Chengzhong Jade tried her best to speak, but subconsciously, Chengzhong Jade knew in her heart that she and Gao Yuan had actually been tricked at that moment!

As a result, Shirozuka Jade's lips could only smile bitterly.

Gao Yuan also realized this, because Gao Yuan clearly felt that his vision was starting to become a little blurry——

He wants to trap himself and Chengzhong Jade here!

While his thoughts were still clear, Gao Yuan acted boldly and pushed open the door to the rooftop without hesitation. He rushed in front, pulling Chengzhong Jade together to the rooftop, and closed the door of the rooftop with his backhand——

"Notify Akechi Police and ask the police to be careful about the gas in the stairwell!"

Hurrying, Gao Yuan handed the phone to Shirozuka Hisui, and he himself faced Tanaka Ichiro who was standing on the rooftop, looking at the two of them with a faint smile——

"I admire you!"

Seeing Gao Yuan dare to pull Shirozuka Jade back to the rooftop, Tanaka Ichiro, who had his neck simply bandaged, looked indifferent, waved his hands and sighed:

"You didn't escape down, but you dared to come up... Should I say you were reckless and lucky? Or you were really smart! My kind of medicine doesn't need to be inhaled, it can make people sick just by touching the eyes... You choose We have found a temporarily safe road!"

Seemingly understanding this, Shirozuka Hisui couldn't help but look at Tanaka Ichiro in a daze, and said in disbelief:

"So...that's what happened..."

"Yes, little girl. You do have some skills in 'illusion', but after all, you are a little immature..."

With a faint smile, Tanaka Ichiro looked at Shirozuka Hisui and said.

"Tanaka Ichiro... No! 'Puppet Master'! Do you think you can still escape now? Even if your medicine can hinder the rushing police, the entire hotel has been surrounded by police, and you have no way out! "

Looking at Ichiro Tanaka who still looked carefree, Gao Yuan wanted to delay the conversation as much as possible.

"Indeed... Now that this identity has been discovered, it is understandable that the police would make such a big fuss..."

It seemed that because Gao Yuan called out the nickname "Puppet Master", Tanaka Ichiro waved his hands helplessly, but then he said proudly:

"However, I really had no chance to escape. But who asked that guy to send me this!"

As he spoke, Tanaka Ichiro showed a human-faced hood in his hand.

For a moment, seeing this man wearing a hood, Gao Yuan suddenly understood that his previous inference was probably correct——

Hasegawa Ryuichi, disguised as the man just now, devised a plan to kill Tanaka Ichiro.

Just now, Hasegawa Ryuichi was killed by Tanaka Ichiro. After Tanaka Ichiro pushed Hasegawa Ryuichi downstairs, the human face mask used by Hasegawa Ryuichi to disguise was taken away by Tanaka Ichiro!

In this way, Tanaka Ichiro only needs to disguise himself as another person through this hood and have a chance to escape.

only……

The premise for him to do this was to silence himself and Shirozuka Jade, the two insiders!

Just as he was thinking, there was only a slight hesitation in his thoughts, Gao Yuan suddenly saw that Tanaka Ichiro, who had been calm just now, suddenly rushed in front of him, and he was holding the Hasegawa Ryuichi in his hand to chop him. , striking high and far away.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan instinctively took a step back.

Seeing that he had escaped the blow at this distance, Gao Yuan only felt a heart-piercing pain on his shoulder——

Why!

He obviously escaped!

Incredibly, Gao Yuan was shocked and didn't know what to do when he saw that he didn't escape the knife.

But at this time, I saw Tanaka Ichiro taking action again and stabbing him.

So, without hesitation, Gao Yuan decided to directly use his trump card - "The Hanged Man"!

However, even though he clearly saw Tanaka Ichiro right in front of him, he planned to use the "Hermit" to touch Tanaka Ichiro's Gaoyuan, but he missed it. He didn't feel anything tactilely. Naturally, the "Hanged Man" did not succeed. use.

——"Drugs, hypnosis! Mr. Gao Yuan! You have been tricked!"

At this time, Shirozuka Hisui on the side looked at Gao Yuan's very strange behavior when facing Tanaka Ichiro. He immediately realized the problem and hurriedly reminded him.

Therefore, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned and understood why what he saw visually was different from what he actually felt.

In fact, Tanaka Ichiro, who was about to take the second blow just now, actually took a step back and asked somewhat unexpectedly:

"Just now...what did you want to do? I actually felt threatened! Is it possible that you are also a master of 'illusion'?"

Saying this, Tanaka Ichiro seemed to be a little afraid of Gao Yuan.

To this, Gao Yuan did not answer, but felt that the current situation was very difficult——

There may be discrepancies between what I saw and what actually happened...
