What a good experimental material! Why can't he be left alive? He wouldn't mind even if he lost some limbs.

Really.

The Duke was so distressed that his heart almost bled.

Although he knew the possibility was zero, the Duke still couldn't help fantasizing sometimes.

If Whiskey wasn't so hostile towards the mysterious side, it would be great if the task of capturing the mysterious side's special experimental materials was handed over to Whiskey.

It’s not that Champagne is not active in his work, but the results of Champagne’s catch over so many years are not as many as those killed by Karasuma Soshin in one day.

Among those who were caught by Champagne, some were absorbed into the organization because of their special abilities and their wise attitude of submission, becoming a handy weapon.

Therefore, not many people could finally fall into the Duke's hands.

He cherishes each one of them.

Therefore, many times, the Duke would think how happy he would be if Whiskey could kill all these mysterious side members and deliver them to him alive.

However, the happier the Duke was when he thought about it, the more upset he felt at the moment.

He suddenly felt that the black crystal ball at his hand was once again an eyesore, so much so that he could not tolerate it appearing in front of him in its entirety.

Suddenly, the black crystal ball seemed to sense the Duke's intention to let it have close contact with the floor and then have the base cleaning staff throw it into the trash.

The solidified black background in the crystal ball began to ripple with visible effects, and then a sky full of lightning and thunder was projected into the void.

Under the sky, a silver-gray sports car appeared and disappeared in the electric light.

Apart from the receding shadows of the trees and the faint outlines of the mountains, which showed that the car was speeding on a mountain road, nothing else could be seen.

The street lights that should have been on were reduced to serving as roadside pillars due to the heavy rain that affected most of the city.

The Duke looked at the projection in the void, his expression changed several times, and the evil fire in his heart burned more and more fiercely.

"Boom!"

"Click!"

This crystal ball that had been with the Duke for more than ten years finally could not escape the disaster. After passively coming into close contact with the floor, it shattered into pieces.

Fennel, who witnessed this scene, did not know that the real reason why the Duke was so angry that he lost his mind was because after so much effort, he still could not determine the exact location of Karasuma Soshin based on the image projected by the crystal ball.

I just thought the Duke was angry about the information he had just received.

Fennel had dealt with the Duke many times in the past in the missions related to the scientific research team, and knew that the Duke was almost crazy about this special and rare living experimental subject of the mysterious side member.

Not only did he send his men to block Champagne's door several times, but he also complained to the master as soon as Karasuma Soshin destroyed the church.

As a result, Karasuma Soshin, who should have been rewarded, not only did not receive any verbal commendation, but was instead given an extremely severe punishment, which was even more severe than driving Bosio crazy and killing several members of the organization with mysterious side bloodlines in succession.

The entire equipment team was in an uproar over this.

Although after Karasuma Soshin walked out of the confinement room, he did not take any further action except killing a group of undercover agents of official organizations or dissidents who were secretly loyal to the top leaders of other organizations, and reorganized the equipment group from top to bottom with ruthless means.

Since then, I have been completely content.

But Fennel knew that his arch-enemy Champagne was mocked by the Duke in emails every year for the long-term mission of capturing the special experimental subject that the Duke wanted.

There's definitely some whiskey involved.

Fennel thought about it and felt that she could take advantage of Champagne's absence and the Duke's unstable mood to secretly win over this senior member of the research team who was trusted by the Duke and was not on good terms with Champagne.

So he revealed to the Duke that a member of the research team who was responsible for purchasing experimental subjects had successfully established contact with a foreign organization with a stable supply channel a few days ago.

"The missing test subjects will be replenished by the end of this month at the latest. I will have my men send over a copy of the test subject list that was sent over in advance."

You choose first.

The Duke understood the unspoken meaning behind Fennel's words, and his mood was indeed improved by the news.

However, that’s all for now.

Kanagawa-Sanada Old House,

There was a sound of drizzling rain outside the window. In the lighted living room, the father and his two sons, who had not had a night talk together for a long time, sat very distantly around the wooden coffee table in the middle, each occupying a sofa.

There were many papers scattered on the coffee table, all of which were the Kanagawa police's investigation materials on the disappearance of Yuki Sanada and Minako Sanada.

The father and his two sons have already read it all, and the investigation content is very detailed.

Based on the traces left at the scene, the Kanagawa police easily deduced the murderer's true method of committing the crime.

Cutting off the power supply, releasing smoke, creating a fire panic, and the group of criminal accomplices who took the opportunity to rush to Yuki Sanada's ward but were caught on the spot were all a deception used by the real culprit from the beginning.

The purpose is to attract the attention of the various parties stationed outside the ward, and to buy time for the people responsible for sneaking into the ward through the ventilation duct and taking away Yuki Sanada and Minako Sanada.

The safety passage locked from the inside not only made it more difficult for patients to escape and intensified conflicts, but also provided the murderer with a quick escape route.

The connected employee passage and underground parking lot can all be effective options for the murderer to escape from Kanagawa Central Hospital.

However, for the father and his two sons at this moment, knowing the murderer's method of committing the crime does not have much significance.

What they wanted to know was where the murderer had escaped with the two hostages.

Unfortunately, the police's inference only stops here, and they have no clue about the murderer's next escape route or his further action plans.

The group of criminal accomplices who were caught on the spot were just a bunch of thugs hired by someone. All they knew was that someone paid a large sum of money to hire them to steal something from a ward at night during the chaos.

Only their boss knew who was hired, but this person did not participate in tonight's operation. When the police arrived, the body had been soaked in the bathtub beyond recognition.

As for the rest of the people, they only knew that the mysterious employer paid them readily.

Other than that, he looked confused no matter what I asked him.

A depressing and dull atmosphere lingered around the father and his two sons.

under the light,

Maybe it was because of the rare late nights, maybe it was because both daughters-in-law were missing, or maybe it was because of something else.

When Masahiro Sanada looked up at his two sons, there was not only no warmth in his eyes, but instead a hint of coldness.

"Yuuki is in the hospital, and Minako is accompanying him. You two have some free time, and you still have time to hang out at a restaurant."

Then, Masahiro Sanada turned his head and looked at Heitaro Sanada:

"Give me a reason, Heitaro."

Masahiro Sanada didn't think this was something his eldest son would do.

In recent years, although his eldest son and his wife have been living apart, they are only seen together a few times a year except for coming to the old house for dinner.

But if they really let it go, they would not cling to the status of husband and wife and refuse to let go at all.

Heitaro Sanada was silent for a long time, then calmly gave his reasons:

"Because that's not Yuuki."

Kenjiro Sanada's eyelids jumped, and he immediately stared at his useless brother with wide eyes, with obvious shock in his eyes:

"What did you say!"

Masahiro Sanada closed his eyes and thought to himself that it was indeed so.

"You mean the person we saw at the hospital wasn't my sister-in-law!"

Kenjiro Sanada asked again, and after seeing Heitaro Sanada nodded calmly, he took two steps forward and grabbed Heitaro Sanada by the collar:

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!!!"

Kenjiro Sanada was furious, but Heitaro Sanada was not moved at all. He looked at his younger brother who was promoted all the way and was highly valued by his father, and said calmly:

"You didn't ask me either, and you even dragged me to the restaurant to sit and chat."

These words seemed to hit the sore spot of Sanada Kenjiro. He moved closer to Sanada Heitaro, their faces very close, and he said softly with a sneer on his face:

"Why, you want to be a good husband now?

Do you want me to remind you what the last words An Xing said before he died?"

When he spoke the second half of the sentence, Kenjiro Sanada's voice was as low as a mosquito or fly, barely audible.

Just at this moment, a thunder was heard in the sky outside the window, so even Masahiro Sanada, who was sitting next to him, didn't hear it clearly.

But for Heitaro Sanada, these words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering the courage that had risen up in his heart without leaving anything behind.

"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here to quarrel in front of me."

Sanada Masahiro spoke in a cold voice. After seeing his second son withdraw his hand and sit back in his original position, he looked at Sanada Heitaro with inquiring eyes:

"Tell me, Heitaro, why did you hide this news?"

Masahiro Sanada heard the first half of his second son's words, but he didn't think that his eldest son concealed the news for this reason.

No one knows a son better than his father. If Masahiro Sanada had not seen through his eldest son's character and it had been completely destroyed that year, how could he have allowed Heitaro Sanada to retire and go into business and put all his energy into raising his eldest grandson?

Sanada Heitaro did not answer, but a hint of fear flashed across his slightly lowered eyes.

After calming down, Kenjiro Sanada seemed to have noticed something from Heitaro Sanada's posture and expression:

"It's Yuegamaru, right?"

Sanada Heitaro's fingertips shrank slightly, and his eyelids began to tremble uncontrollably.

When he saw this expression, Masahiro Sanada knew that Kenjiro Sanada was right.

If you think about it carefully, this is the only reason that could make his eldest son so scared.

Thinking back to the half face he accidentally caught a glimpse of at the entrance of Kanagawa Central Hospital, Heitaro Sanada now wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Although the front face was not seen at that time, and even the next second, half of the side face was completely covered by the slowly rising car window glass, and the silver-gray sports car disappeared at the end of the sight as it gradually accelerated.

But Heitaro Sanada was absolutely certain that it was his eldest son.

In a patriarchal country like Japan, it is common for sons to be afraid of their fathers, and fathers to be afraid of their sons, even to the point of trembling when they think about it. It is so rare that even other male elders are afraid of them.

But here, it is normal.

Another long period of silence passed, and none of the Sanada father and sons spoke.

In the end, this night talk ended in vain in a not-so-calm and condensed atmosphere.

Of course, the story doesn't end there.

Tokyo Bay Pier,

The ocean-going cargo ship docked in the port looked like a sleeping beast in the sound of the drizzling rain, quietly waiting for dawn.

At the same time, several trucks loaded with oak barrels set out from different directions, heading towards the Tokyo Bay Pier with a clear goal.
