Chapter 56: Before the Storm

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

Seeing that the bowl in front of him was already empty, Lin Xiuyi, who was still unsatisfied, couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but ...... He also knew that overeating after being hungry was not good for his body, so he ...... He didn't demand anything more.

"That...... Excuse me...... Can I call my familiar friends right now and tell them they're okay?"

"I'm sorry, but you're suspected of stealing the car's car, so ...... We can't put you in touch with anyone else just yet!"

"Uh...... Well! That's ...... I'm sure you've already called my colleague! I think ...... They should prove that I'm not lying, right?"

……

Just when Lin Xiuyi was detained in the transfer room for the first time as a suspect, the police officer in charge of the theft case outside was picking up the phone with some trepidation, and then carefully dialed the number of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Moses?"

"Uh...... I'm sorry, but we're here at the Central Police Station in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture, may I ask...... Is there a police department named Lin Xiuyi in the search class?"

"Huh...... Excuse me, excuse me...... How do you know about him?"

"That...... We've just caught a suspect suspected of stealing cargo from a transport vehicle, who claims to be the police department of the Search Division......! He's really a liar!"

"Uh...... I'm sorry, I think...... I need to check with my superiors, I'll be in touch with you later!"

"Huh, it won't be true...... It's really a police department that searches a lesson......! I thought he was ...... He ......"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not sure about this at the moment, because according to the information we have, the Forest Police Department should be being held hostage by some illegal religious group. So...... It's hard to know for sure if the forest police department you're talking about has anything to do with this incident...... That one...... If you can, please don't reveal anything about the Forest Police Department to the outside world for the time being, okay?"

"Huh, that...... Can you ask him, the forest police department...... What the hell is going on!"

"This ...... If you turn on the TV now, you should be able to understand what happened!"

"TV?"

……

When the officer in charge of contacting the Metropolitan Police Department put down the phone, he couldn't help but go to the lounge with some curiosity, and then turned on the TV there.

"Emergency! Emergency! A new religious group hijacked a key member of the Metropolitan Police Department and confronted the police, and the chief cabinet secretary of the National Police Agency personally sat on the scene!"

"According to our observations at the scene, the incident of the police encircling the new religious organization called the Church of Light and Truth was caused by the fact that an important bureaucrat of the Metropolitan Police Department was taken hostage by the other party because of the leakage of his identity when he infiltrated the religious organization to conduct an investigation. Because of this, the Metropolitan Police Department has now surrounded the headquarters of the organization, a place in the depths of the Yukiri Mountains known as the Valley of Light. However, due to the difficult terrain here, the Metropolitan Police Department has not taken any effective action yet, but it ...... The police have already started a standoff with the group!"

……

According to the latest news obtained by this station, the identity of the abducted Metropolitan Police Department bureaucrat is Lin Shuichi, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Search Department, but we were surprised to learn that the other party is also the biological brother of the well-known actress Kurako Reina who starred in the Hollywood masterpiece "Survival Battle", and once had an affair with the current super popular female artist Akemi Sonoji, and we will continue to monitor the latest developments of this incident......"

Seeing that a photo of an ID in a blue police uniform suddenly appeared in the corner of the TV screen, although the eyes of the person in the photo were blocked, but ...... Judging from the contours of his face, Mr. Police Officer still connected the suspect in the interview room with the man on the TV screen.

"No...... He's ...... It's really the police department!"

"yes! but ...... What does that scandal with Akemi of Yuanno Temple mean, could it be that the bureaucratic income of the Metropolitan Police Department is already high enough to be able to associate with female artists?"

"I didn't expect him to be the brother of the heroine of "The Battle for Survival"! I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time!"

……

Seeing more and more colleagues gathered in front of the TV, the police officer who came over at the beginning suddenly came to his senses, and then ran in the direction of the transfer room with a brisk walk!

"Be merciful, senior! The other party is a real police officer!"

"Bang!"

When the door of the transfer room was pushed open, I thought that the seniors of the criminal class would use rough methods to forcibly interrogate Lin Xiuyi, but who knew that the scene was extraordinarily harmonious, only to see that Lin Xiuyi was pulling out a white tissue from the palm of his hand at this time, and the two seniors looked at Lin Xiuyi with a puzzled expression.

"Oh...... I really can't see it, that ...... Is the tissue hidden in the sleeve?"

……

"I'm sorry, Forest Police! We've identified you, you can come out of here now!"

"Huh, police...... Your Excellency the Police?"

"Ah...... Please don't make a fuss, I'm so embarrassed that I look like this, by the way, if you can, can you let me borrow the bathroom of the police station, and ...... I have some wounds on my body that I seem to have to deal with as well!"

……

Half an hour later, when Lin Xiuyi came out of the bathroom and went to the infirmary to urgently treat the wounds on his body, he put on a popular suit of Aoyama Dress that his colleagues in Saitama Prefecture bought for him, and then returned to the appearance of his former office worker.

"We have informed the Metropolitan Police Department of your situation, and we ask you to return to Tokyo immediately...... Can you go now?"

"Uh...... That one...... Is there something going on?"

"Well, the Metropolitan Police Department has now surrounded the Valley of Light and is in a confrontation with the religious organization inside, and now the media throughout Tokyo are watching the progress of this incident, right...... If you wish, the Saitama Prefectural Police Headquarters has temporarily deployed a helicopter for you so that you can rush back as soon as possible!"

"A standoff?"

"Hey, even the Chief Cabinet Secretary himself has personally dispatched it!"

"Excuse me, please send me to the scene as soon as possible, I have important matters to report to the Chief Cabinet Secretary himself!"

……

Almost when Lin Shuichi was still coordinating with the local police in Saitama Prefecture. This side just got Lin Xiuyi, who was safe and sound, but faced a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger.

"Chief Cabinet Secretary, we have confirmed that the police department is safe and sound, may I ask...... Shall we withdraw the people?"

"Withdraw?"

Keiko asked her subordinates in an unkind tone, and then she looked up at the helicopters belonging to the TV station hovering overhead, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't inform the media of Lin Xiuyi's whereabouts yet, tell the security department, and after half an hour, start forcibly breaking into the Valley of Light!"
