Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 550 163. It's You Who Hurt Yourself

"Thank you for allowing me to examine you, Arasaka-sama."

After getting permission, Goro Takemura squatted on the ground and examined the bodies. With his eyes and prosthetics, he was able to keenly determine that these dead people died at the same time a few minutes ago, and the time was almost the same as the time of Arasaka Saburo's death.

In other words, this group of people died at about the same time as Saburo Arasaka. Judging from the condition of their wounds, they should have died after Saburo Arasaka.

Their fatal injury is.
Goro Takemura looked at the tiny wounds on the necks of these people, which were still oozing blood, and understood their death.

When he was about to rush forward, his neck was wiped cleanly by a sharp weapon.

The person who possesses a sharp weapon and can handle four assassins at the same time should be.
Goro Takemura glanced at Carl, the mercenary who was standing around Arasaka Nobuyuki and guarding him.

According to intelligence, Carl possessed a single-molecule line. With his ability, it was not difficult for him to kill the four rushing mercenaries with the single-molecule line in an instant, and the timing was also right.

There was a very important time difference in this that was noticed by Goro Takemura.

That is, Saburo Arasaka died first, and then the group of assassins were dealt with by Carl.

This made it difficult for Goro Takemura not to think too much.

Could this group of assassins be directed and performed by Arasakase Nobuyuki's people?
After they assassinated Lord Arasaka Saburo, Arasaka Nobuyuki ordered Carl to silence him?
As time passed, the rational thinking that was lost due to the death of Saburo Arasaka returned to Goro Takemura's mind, and he began to doubt the possibility that the most suspicious person, Nobuo Arasaka, was responsible.

But if it was really Arasakase Nobuyuki who attacked Lord Saburo, would he allow himself to examine the body?

With this in mind, Takemura Goro asked tentatively: "Can you allow me to understand in detail what happened just now, Lord Arasaka?"

"I didn't see it clearly."

Arasakase Nobuyuki's words, which seemed to be a cover-up, made Takemura Goro's heart jump, but the next sentence calmed him down:
"It happened so fast that I didn't see anything clearly. My father was assassinated by the despicable attackers, and I almost died in their attack. If Carl hadn't saved me, you would have failed in your duty twice today!"

Listening to Arasakase Nobuyuki's angry rebuke as if he had survived a disaster, the appearance of a naughty boy that had not changed much in half a century made the doubts that had just arisen in Takemura Goro's heart disappear again.

Then, Takemura Goro apologized for his negligence and looked at Carl, the mercenary who had dealt with the attacker: "Can you tell me what happened before? The details may allow the investigation to confirm the identity of the criminal's mastermind."

Carl didn't refuse.

He nodded: "When Arasaka Saburo and Sei Nobu were talking, they were talking about something related to the family, and they started arguing because of it."

Saburo-sama and Arasakaze Nobuyuki started arguing.
This kind of thing was within Goro Takemura's expectations and did not surprise him, so he continued to listen to Carl's story.

"Then just as they were arguing more and more fiercely, I heard a sound. It was the sound of the toilet door being opened."

Toilet door?

Goro Takemura looked towards the toilet.

When he arrived with Saburo Arasaka, they left the top floor suite without even doing the regular inspection because of Saburo Arasaka's order. At that time, the only places in the entire suite that could not be noticed at a glance were the toilet and bathroom. If that group of people were hiding there, they would not be discovered.

In Takemura Goro's eyes, he saw the intelligence information that he was still working on as Arasaka Saburo's bodyguard. Before Arasaka Nobuo inherited the Arasaka family, this authority granted by the previous owner Arasaka Saburo was still in effect, and a series of intelligence was flashing rapidly in his eyes.

Three pieces of information are particularly noteworthy.

After comparison under Goro Takemura's instructions, the identities of this group of people were confirmed to be military technology personnel. They disguised themselves as guests of the Ganbi Building this morning and entered the Ganbi Building.

Second, the black room in the Ganbi Building was invaded. The time of the invasion was close to the time when this group of people checked in. After the red alarm sounded, the source of the invasion was confirmed to be the experimental product of military technology, "Small Flathead".

Third, the video footage from the Blue Green Building shows that this group of people took advantage of the time when Arasakaze Nobuyuki and Carl and others went downstairs to drink and entered the room, and seemed to be looking for something. There is no sign of modification in this video footage. The time is
Two minutes before Saburo-sama and I arrived.

The clues connected into one line in Goro Takemura's mind, and everything made sense.

Military technicians are looking for something.
Relic!

The military technology people also set their sights on the things that Arasakase Nobuyuki stole from Saburo-sama, so they wanted to send spies to snatch them, but Saburo-sama suddenly appeared unexpectedly, so they were forced to hide in the bathroom.
Saburo-sama and Arasakaze Nobuo were arguing, and they came out.

Yes, it must be that Saburo-sama was arguing with Arasakase Nobuo about the Relic and demanded that Arasakase Nobuo hand over the Relic. Seeing that they could no longer hide, these military technology people simply went all out and came out of the toilet directly to attack Saburo-sama and Arasakase Nobuo, trying to create chaos and escape by force.

How audacious! How daring!
How dare they do such a thing!
Thief, damn thief, damn military technology!

While Goro Takemura was sorting things out in his mind and every line of thought was clear, Carl continued to narrate.

"Then, after they rushed out, someone activated the Swanwestin. They moved too fast, so I protected Nobuaki Naoki behind me and then used the single molecule line to deal with them.

But after everything was over, I found that Saburo Arasaka seemed to have been shot in the head during the melee, and fell to the ground on the spot. "

"You mean, Master Saburo was not protected by you."

When Goro Takemura heard this, he stopped thinking and stared at Carl.

"if not."

Carl spread his hands, "I haven't received the mission to protect him. My employer's safety should always come first. I can't face the people who have activated Sian Westin and have to take time to protect two people while dealing with them. I'm not a professional bodyguard. I don't have the ability to do that."

Facing Carl's outstretched hands, Goro Takemura moved his lips but couldn't utter a word.

What can he say now? Why not give up Arasaka Nobuyuki and protect Arasaka Saburo?

He wasn't stupid enough to say that in front of the person he needed to be loyal to now.

So who can he blame?
Now think about it carefully
Who was the person who let him leave without letting him explore the suite?
Goro Takemura didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He couldn't just think that it was Lord Arasaka Saburo who killed himself.
