Never Not
Ch. 36: Black Shadow being held captive?
In the morning, Yuriko quickly walked out of her room only to meet Rai. Unfortunately, until now the door of the man's room is still locked, indicating that he did not come home all night. This is strange, not usually Rai does not look full day until it changes days.
At the hospital, the nurse-in-law and an intern take the patient to the VIP room right next to Shohei's nursery. When they opened the room, they were surprised to see the state of the room that was damaged. Blankets, infusion poles, oxygen cylinders, even nightstand drawers are not in position. The room was like a tsunami.
"How's this? Didn't you say the room was prepared from last night?" the patient's family complains about the state of the room.
The head nurse glanced at the apprentice nurse while throwing a questioning gaze, as if asking for clarity from the messy room.
"Please forgive me, last night while cleaning this place, the senior male nurse said let him clean this place up." The apprentice nurse bowed fully while showing a face of guilt and fear.
The teenage patient in a wheelchair focused on the floor of the room, where there were several camellia petals scattered.
"Don't .. This place was previously visited by Black Shadow!" the teenage patient.
They all jumped with a directed look at some of the camellia petals that became the identity of the Black Shadow relic.
"I'm very happy if this room was previously visited by Black Shadow" the teenage patient said with a joyful expression.
Time moves forward like flowing water. Morning to noon, afternoon to afternoon, evening to night. Yuriko keeps checking Rai's room all the time. Until the sky was completely dark, the man did not show the trunk of his nose.
The clock has shown ten o'clock in Tokyo time. People are waiting for the promised live broadcast of Black Shadow tonight. Some cafes in Shinjuku even provide large screens so that visitors can watch together. As the masked man said last night, he will announce the results of the poll he made tonight as well.
An hour has passed, but there has been no sign of Black Shadow going live on any channels and apps. People are getting tired of waiting. The same thing happened to Yuriko and her friends who were sitting in one of the cafes that provided a spectacle together. This was the first time for him to be so curious about the masked man's live broadcast. Maybe because it has something to do with Shohei. Yes, he could not find out about the police because Rai had not yet returned to the apartment.
The short needle almost led to the number twelve, but Black Shadow had yet to show her charm. Unlike Yuriko who is getting bored, Seina is convinced and believes Black Shadow will grant her request to unpack the case that her lover, Shohei, is investigating. He had even waited for the man who had snatched away his kiss in the Skytree tower.
Elsewhere, a state official had just finished attending a meeting at the Kantei¹ building. He smiled cynically when he heard the conversation of some officials who said that Black Shadow had not yet held a live broadcast tonight. He then asked his personal assistant to immediately take him somewhere.
At the Metropolitan Police station, several police officers from the investigative department and investigators appeared overtime. Seto Tanaka reopens CCTV showing the hostess girl shopping before she disappears. Yes, this case is a little ignored by the police, even the media is asked not to enlarge the story so that it can make the atmosphere worse.
Even so, Seto was curious to uncover the mystery of the girl's disappearance and his sister's tweet that said the girl had a relationship with one of the state officials.
He watched closely, as the hostess girl opened the suitcase with a view pointing to CCTV consciously. Seto recalled Shohei's remark the other day that said the girl seemed to want to convey something through her gaze. He repeated the video again, and slowed down right in the section as the girl looked up at the camera. Seen in the video a second after the girl stared at the camera, she immediately turned towards the suitcase.
Seto hastily stopped the video. He zoomed in on the picture, especially in the suitcase section. It turned out that in the suitcase containing the pile of money was tucked away a small doll. Like a keychain.
Seto recalls the message that Shohei left at the stabbing site. The bloody writing consists of four letters of the alphabet namely "L L O D", which when read in reverse then becomes "Doll". Doll itself is an English word that is interpreted as a puppet.
"I understand the meaning of the word L L O D written by the chairman Yamazaki-san. Try to see this!" seto Tanaka yelled at the investigator's friends.
Police gather at Seto Tanaka's desk. The twenty-seven-year-old man played back a video of a CCTV copy found at the minimarket where the hostess was shopping.
"Look, there's a doll there. The letters written by the chief Yamazaki-san if read in reverse means a doll or doll. In a thinning consciousness, it makes sense if he chooses to write a short word. That's why he uses the word in English instead of writing using kanji or hiragana" Tanaka said.
"Yes, it makes sense. Yamazaki-san is not left-handed, but he writes with his left hand and uses blood ink because of his desperate situation and the disturbing emotions he may have, plus decreased consciousness and impaired brain function. That's what triggered the word to be written in mirror writing²," continued detective Shu added reasoning Seto Tanaka.
"Ah, I remember. On returning home from the Ikebukuro Police Department office, the chairman Yamazaki-san asked me to check the places the hostess visited after coming from the supermarket."
"Then?" ask detective Shu curiously.
"From the travel records stored on his social media accounts, he went to Ikeburuko station and visited a diamond shop in Ginza" police said.
Seto Tanaka who is reading the history of the post social account of the hostess then member. "Look at this photo, this girl took a picture of herself with the little doll."
Detective Shu snatches the transkip of the post history record that Seto holds. Yes, the date of the post is the same as when the girl was in the supermarket. It's three hours later. In the selfie photo post, the hostess wrote a caption that read "I love this doll's eyes."
Detective Shu's eyes were wide open. "Are you like me?" tanyanya is starting to get the bright spot of the case.
"Don't .. This is part of money laundering?" guess Seto Tanaka is so considering this case has something to do with the casino.
"If it's like this, it's possible that the girl was a witness. And the doll is evidence of the crime of the person who used it" inspector Heiji said, holding his chin up.
"Unfortunately, Japan does not have a witness protection agency like in America" detective Shu said.
"Then, who is the real culprit behind all this?" Inspector Heiji thought hard.
As they focused with their brains, suddenly a policeman shouted to give a shocking news.
On the other hand, the state official had just arrived at an old building that resembled an old warehouse and was located behind a company. He walked along with some of his bodyguards into the place. Dark atmosphere with makeshift lighting and the smell of dust that mocks the sense of smell as if greeting those who have just come. In the middle, there were two people sitting with their hands and feet tied.
On the right was a young girl, on the left was a man dressed in black. The man's entire head and face were deliberately covered in black plastic so he could not see. The young girl appeared resigned after being held captive for days, while the man beside her was seen thrashing when he heard the sound of footsteps.
The government official then approached the man who was bound. "Are you the Black Shadow that the fools out there adore?" he said with a chuckle, "Who do you think you dare expose the evil I have done for so many years? You want to know the truth behind the disappearance of that viral girl, right? Look ... He's right next to you right now! Even you can't do anything to help him get out of this place," he continued, laughing out loud.
He ordered his men to pick up a piece of wood and smite it into the face of the man who was smothered before him.
"What can you do now, huh?" he said as he continued to smash wood onto some parts of Black Shadow's body.
"Over this time, I've been known as a clean politician. I served as a member of the council, then became a minister in the current government cabinet on my own behalf. In the eyes of the people they admire me for being able to open many jobs. In the eyes of the empire, I was praised for hosting foreign workers in my company. They don't know why I've been taking foreign labor all this time because they've been able to get under the wage eligibility standards set by the government. I've held my treasure while being a politician and a businessman, but I'm not as stupid as a politician who was caught off guard by you" he said bluntly as he hit Black Shadow again.
As if not satisfied, he pointed to the girl he also held captive while saying, "This girl is trying to divulge the money laundering practices that I have been doing all this time, plus his brother also made a public furore with his viral video. Am I wrong to punish him? The plan is that I'll kill him. But before, I wanted to finish you off first," he said with glaring eyes and a scary expression like a psychopath.
The girl shook her head in fear, showing a wailing face while shedding tears.
"Even though I have exposed all the crimes I have committed, you can't do anything about it because soon you'll be dead!"
Impatiently, the old man then opened the plastic covering the face of the man he held captive. However, the expression on the man's face changed instantly. His eyes suddenly widened as the face plastered before him was currently his own men, aka the man who had confronted each other last night with Black Shadow. More surprisingly, his men's mouths seemed to be stuffed with a small camera that was alive and pointed directly at him.
Seeing his own men in plain sight, the old man could not help but growl.
"What's going on?!" his shout with wrath boomed like a volcanic eruption.
"What a pity, yes!" A person's voice suddenly roared in that dark room. "You're saying you're smarter than a politician who's been caught off guard. In fact, you're very stupid because of my trick trap," he continued.
The old man who became one of the officials then looked there and there to find the source of the voice.
"Hey, I'm here!" yelled the man.
The old man with his men compactly looked back, precisely to the top floor. Apparently, Black Shadow was squatting casually with a handycam camera in his hand.
On the streets, everyone looked up in excitement to see the face of one of the country's top officials who now filled the videotron screen.
"That's right Social Minister, Kento Hayase!" the dumbfounded audience shouted after some of them were busy second-guessing the voice of the state officials who appeared on the live broadcast of Black Shadow.
