The Advent of the Infinite King

The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and a beam of light shot down from above the host stage, illuminating the host's position.

After the crowd quieted down, the host in a dark blue suit said into the microphone: "We will now invite one of today's guests to say a few words to everyone present. Mr. Masao Takada, a member of the House of Representatives, will now come to the stage to speak."

After the applause, the spotlight shone on a Mediterranean man. The tall man in a blue suit that Mao Lilan and Xie Chen had discussed before was standing in front of him, leading him the way.

"Come on, Senator, this way please."

Masao Takata nodded, with the corners of his mouth raised, as if he enjoyed the attention of everyone, he walked slowly towards the host stage.

Xie Chen smiled and said to Mao Lilan: "Look, he is indeed a politician's secretary."

Mao Lilan clapped her hands lightly: "Really, Xie Chen, you are so amazing."

The crowd automatically parted a path, and the tall man led the way. Under the lights, Masao Takata waved his hand to signal to the crowd, and walked towards the host stage.

Mao Lilan sighed: "They are also really powerful. It was so dark here just now, and they were able to take photos of Senator Takada himself."

Xie Chen said: "Perhaps his position was determined from the beginning, or it may be that the small microphone clipped to his chest will automatically light up when it is illuminated by the light."

Mao Lilan asked, "Why didn't he just go straight to the podium?"

"Well..." Xie Chen said helplessly, "Maybe I want to attract everyone's attention."

He stared at Masao Takata, secretly laughing, the hall was dark, only a beam of light shone on him, it was like a live target, if someone wanted to shoot him at this time, they didn't even need to aim.

Thinking of this, as if he suddenly remembered something important, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the corner of the hall. His expression became serious, and the man in the sunglasses had disappeared.

The tall man had already walked to the podium, brushed shoulders with Seiji Ishimoto, and said with a smile, "President Ishimoto, excuse me."

Seiji Ishimoto moved forward and greeted Masao Takata.

Xie Chen's eyes turned cold, and before he could speak, there was a "bang", breaking the tranquility of the hall.

A bright red streak appeared from Seiji Ishimoto's shoulder. He staggered and leaned back. Sachiko Tanaka hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Everyone was dumbfounded. Zhong saw blood.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The sudden gunshots were beyond everyone's imagination and beyond their ability to react. The tall man turned his head slowly, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his face suddenly turned pale.

Masao Takata clutched his chest, blood flowed from his fingertips, obviously he had been shot, the bullet that passed Makoto Ishimoto's shoulder hit his heart.

"Brother Xincang..."

This was Masao Takata's last sentence before his death, and then he fell down slowly under the spotlight.

The lights in the hall turned on, "Ah!" The woman's sharp hissing broke the silence of the hall. In an instant, the hall was in chaos, and the crowd dropped the butterfly bowls and cups in their hands and ran towards the gate.

There were hysterical screams and chaotic footsteps everywhere, and the tables, chairs and food in the hall were knocked to the ground by the terrified crowd.

The tall man squatted in front of Takada Masao, calling out non-stop.

Xie Chen raised his head and looked towards the light platform above the host stage, where a man was leaving in a hurry.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Chen ran towards the inner staircase of the hall, and when he reached the entrance of the staircase, he saw that the door of the control room was open, and there were panicked crowds in the corridor, and the person could not be found.

Ten minutes later, police officer Meguro led a team to the scene, quickly sealed off the hotel, and began to investigate and collect evidence.

The tall man made a phone call from the side: "I don't know who shot the speaker here, please help me contact the support club immediately."

He hung up the phone and made another call. He lowered his voice during this call: "Hello, I'm Changzhang Xincang..."

On the other side, Mori Kogoro handed over the threatening letter to Police Officer Megure.

"You said President Ishimoto was intimidated by someone and wanted to take his life in the near future?" Police Officer Meguro asked.

"Yes." Mori Kogoro said, "So I accepted his commission."

Police officer Meguro said: "So, is it because the bullet aimed at Mr. Ishimoto was not aimed at the right point, so he just happened to hit Representative Takada who passed by him?"

Mori Kogoro said, "That's right, that's true."

Police officer Meguro touched his chin and said, "There were a lot of guests present at the time, and maybe there might be witnesses."

He asked Gao Mushe: "Brother Gao Mu, where are the guests present at that time?"

Gao Mushe said: "Just now I told them to gather in the next room, Xie Chen walked into the hall from the outside at this time, and just wanted to check Takata Masao's body, but was stopped by Mao Lilan.

"Xie Chen, how can you run around casually?"

Xie Chen scratched his head and smiled, "I was too nervous, so I went to the toilet..."

Mori Kogoro and Police Officer Megure just passed by him, he turned his head and said, "I saw a suspicious person just now."

"What?" Mori Kogoro stopped.

Xie Chen said: "That person was standing against that wall at first, but after the gunshot just now, he ran to the lighting control room above."

"Really." Mori Kogoro looked up at the lighting control room, "If it was in that place, it would be much easier to target Mr. Ishimoto among the many guests. Then what kind of person is he?"

Xie Chen smiled, he had been prepared for a long time, and took out the photo: "It's him."

Kogoro Maoli looked at the man behind Mao Lilan and Xie Chen in the photo, and said bitterly: "They really don't look good."

Police officer Meguro found that Mori Kogoro hadn't followed, and called him back: "What are you doing, Brother Mouri, go away."

"Officer Megure!" Mori Kogoro held the photo and said loudly, "Here is a photo that might be a gangster."

"What? Really?" Officer Mu Mu asked in surprise.
