Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's words pierced the professor's heart like a sharp knife.
He spoke grandly, but he knew very well what dirty deeds he was actually doing. However, because he had the reason of opposing Ayanokoji Fugang and preventing him from becoming prime minister, he had always convinced himself that what he was doing was righteous.
Now, the mask he used to disguise himself was mercilessly torn off by Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. His face darkened, and he slowly raised the pistol in his hand...
"Professor, we're here!"
At this moment, the three "kidnappers" walked in. They were all unharmed, without a single scratch.
Ikishima Midari, of course, had not killed the two.
On the way to the next room, Ikishima Midari saw more than one pistol in the cabinet. These were contraband, yet they were displayed here.
Japan's Swords and Firearms Control Law is very strict; possessing so many "black guns" would result in at least ten years in prison, and possibly even life imprisonment.
When Ikishima Midari saw these guns, she understood that they would not let her leave easily, so she deliberately turned hostile as soon as she got the gun and loaded the bullets.
Unfortunately, they were also prepared; the gun given to Ikishima Midari was loaded with blank rounds, specifically blank rounds without projectiles, which had virtually no lethality beyond two meters.
However, a gun is still a gun. Even with blank rounds, it still seemed very threatening to ordinary people. The two of them, intimidated by the gun in Ikishima Midari's hand, dared not rush forward to trouble her.
They could only watch as she took a steel pipe and jammed the door from outside, locking them in the room.
They did want to inform the professor, but the soundproofing in this research institute was excellent, and the signal was blocked not only for Ayanokoji but also for them; their phones also had no signal.
The professor's attention shifted, and he began to scold the two, "You two are useless! You can't even handle one girl!"
He was still a bit shaken. If Hagen hadn't been strong and observant, this time they might have really failed.
If it got out that Ayanokoji and Ikishima Midari had escaped the institute with a blank-loaded pistol, he would lose all face.
It wasn't just a matter of face; if these things got out, he would be finished too.
It was all the fault of these two good-for-nothings; they almost ruined everything!
As he thought this, his anger grew, and at this moment, his hatred for the two of them surpassed that for Ayanokoji. He aimed the gun at the two.
Nakamura saw the gun pointed at him, and even though he knew it contained blank rounds, his heart still skipped a beat.
He quickly said, "Professor, we have news for you. The police received a report and are searching all of Tokyo for Ayanokoji Kiyotaka! No, to be precise, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka!"
The signal was blocked, so all communication between the institute and the outside was done using the landline next door. They were locked in the next room and happened to receive the call.
The professor's eyebrow twitched: "What exactly happened? Did Kiyotaka successfully report it!?"
"It wasn't him who reported it. It was the private detective we hired. He went back on his word after getting the money and told the police."
"You also know that Ayanokoji Fugang has a lot of connections in the police force. As soon as the name Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was revealed, someone quickly told him about it. He is now calling congressmen one by one, asking who did this."
