The little girl looked petite and cute, with chestnut hair combed into a pair of ponytails. She looked at the men in black in front of her with great resistance.
Rum stared at the little girl's face indifferently, the black leather eyepatch covering his left eye reflecting the dim light outside the window.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, and his chilling voice echoed in the huge collection room.
"You should be the heir who solves the mystery left by Isekawa Gozo, right?"
"Although I don't know which descendant you are from, in terms of seniority, I am at least your grandfather..."
"May I have your name?"
Rum raised his hand to signal his men to let go.
After her hands were released, the nervous expression on the little girl's face relaxed a little, but she still nervously glanced up at Rum, not daring to look directly at him.
"My name is...Yuriko Matsunaka."
"Songzhong..."
Rum was a little confused about the little girl's last name.
But it’s not surprising to think that all heirs can inherit the Isegawa family’s legacy by solving puzzles.
It is estimated that the mother of this child was once a member of the Isekawa family.
"Yuriko, are you the only one living here?"
Rum slowly squatted down, his eyes level with Yuriko Matsuzaka's.
He tried his best to show a kind and kind expression on his face, but the black eyepatch on his right eye was somewhat inconsistent with his "kindness".
"No……"
"And grandpa..."
Matsunaka Yuriko replied timidly.
"grandfather?"
Rum weighed the seniority in his mind. If it was his grandfather, he would probably be the same generation as him.
Could it be one of his younger brothers?
As the eldest son of the family, Rum remembers that he had two younger brothers and two younger sisters.
It is unclear whether Isekawa Gozo continued to create humans after he left this home.
"What's your grandfather's name?"
"Is he in the house now?"
Since there are descendants here who can speak, Rum naturally wants to look for them.
The purpose of his trip is to get back everything that originally belonged to him.
If according to the will made by Isekawa Gozo, he is the eldest son and the first heir, so he should naturally be the first to solve the mystery.
With his own intelligence, it will be easy to solve the mystery of Isekawa Gozo.
So in his eyes, these wealth were originally reserved for him by Isekawa Gozo.
Now whoever holds this wealth should return it to themselves.
Even if he is a biological brother...
A cold light flashed in Rum's right eye.
But at this moment, the door beside the few people slowly opened.
"who?"
Rum immediately looked in that direction like a frightened bird, and the two men in black subconsciously touched their waists and took out their pistols.
I saw an old man in a wheelchair slowly coming out from behind the door.
"grandfather!"
Matsunaka Yuriko's face was filled with joy, she passed between the people in black and Rum, and hugged the old man in the wheelchair affectionately.
Rum narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the old man's appearance.
The other person was wearing black pajamas and a robe, leaning on the back of a wheelchair, with a breathing mask on his face and a silver-white beard on his chin.
Rum stared at the other person blankly, but after thinking about it for a moment, he didn't think about which of his brothers the other person was.
But I haven't been home for decades, and besides, my brother was still young at that time, so it was normal for me not to recognize him.
Judging from his age, this person is more in line with his younger brother.
After all, I have taken drugs to delay aging. If I had not taken the drugs, I would be close to 80 years old now.
Rum took a step forward and asked coldly.
"Who are you?"
The old man in the wheelchair gently held Matsunaka Yuriko lying on his lap with one hand, and said calmly: "An old man who is owed something by you."
Rum's right eye changed slightly, trying to figure out the words used by the other party in his mind.
The other party is someone who knows his identity and may even know his purpose of coming here.
In this case, the only possibility is that it is one of his younger brothers.
After all, he must have been a missing person in the family over the years, and only Isekawa Gozo knew that he had inherited the code name "Rum".
It is very likely that Isekawa Gozo left his existence in some form in his will before his death and told his successors.
"Huh, I owe you something?"
Rum snorted coldly, "If you're talking about that old guy Isekawa Gozo, he probably owes me more than enough."
"I took over his code name and served that person wholeheartedly for decades, but what did I get in exchange?"
"It's betrayal!"
Rum suddenly roared, and his angry voice echoed in the collection room.
"I didn't get the 'huge empire' he promised me personally!"
"And Isekawa Gozo, if it weren't for him, how could I..."
In Rum's heart, he resented not only the organization's boss, but also his father Gozo Isekawa even more.
Because with the great talent and strategy of the organization boss, he has created such a huge organization, it is not unusual for him to be exploited.
But his biological father, Gozo Isekawa, was a very evil person.
He used his position to constantly push young Rum closer to him, and finally introduced him to the old man.
Rum has also thought about it in the past few days, what would have been the consequences if he had not taken the pill?
First of all, the Isekawa family will definitely lose support quickly because they cannot choose a good code name successor.
You may even suffer retaliation from the boss of the organization, or even silence you.
What's the point of keeping a disloyal subordinate and his descendants?
There are two iron rules of the organization: first, don’t support idle people, and second, as long as you join, you won’t quit.
So it seems to be a multiple-choice question, but it is actually a proposition.
If not for his own sacrifice, would the Isegawa family have been able to survive these years safely?
Except for himself, no other descendants of the family have entered the organization. Isn't this also thanks to his protection?
It is because of your own dedication that these people can live a normal life, but now what do you say you owe them?
Absolutely ridiculous!
"Since you already know who I am, I'll tell you straight away..."
"I'm here to retrieve my inheritance, which is all the wealth of Isekawa Gozo."
"But don't say that as the eldest son, I won't take care of you at all. You can keep this place."
For this Angel House, even though Rum had some memories of the past, he has completely let go of it now.
The most important thing is that the organization may also liquidate him personally. It is impossible for him to travel around the world with such a big house.
Faced with Rum's tough attitude, the old man in the wheelchair remained calm and raised his hand to slowly take off the breathing mask on his face.
"No, what you owe is neither wealth nor status...it's my son."
"Your son?" Rum frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubts.
The old man murmured: "My name is Haneda Yasharu, and my son is Haneda Koji who was killed by you 17 years ago..."
Before the old man finished speaking, a black gun barrel suddenly protruded from the lacquered wood of the armrest of the wheelchair.
Before Rum could react, a bullet was ejected from the barrel.
Pia!
After a muffled gunshot, Rum's body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
He felt a shock in his abdomen, and all the strength in his body was like an air mattress with a hole punctured, and it was rapidly flowing away along the hole.
The two bodyguards next to him reacted immediately and immediately raised their pistols and prepared to shoot.
But before they could raise their pistols, two gunshots from the door hit their bodies respectively.
Pia!Pia!
The two men in black fell to the ground.
Rum looked at the fallen men beside him in disbelief, then turned to look in the direction where the gunfire came from.
I saw two men walking through the door of the collection room, one with a mixed-race face and the other with a more Japanese appearance.
"You are..."
Rum's right eye stared at the two of them in disbelief.
Because in his memory, one of these two faces was the famous detective Qin Zhibo, who was very famous in Tokyo recently.
The other is the man who broke into that ship 17 years ago, Akai Mutake.
"We have taken care of your other three men, and now you are the only one left."
Akai Muwu walked over while keeping his aiming posture, and when he opened his mouth, Rum gave up all hope.
Rum was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the old man in a wheelchair who was covering Yuriko Matsunaka's ears, and his eyes suddenly felt relieved.
"It turns out you already know my details..."
"But it's useless. I'm still the second-in-command of the organization. Even if you catch me, you can't put me in jail."
Qin Zhibo broke his last illusion, "No, you are no longer the second in command of the organization."
"You have been expelled from the organization."
Rum's eyes were surprised again.
The moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window shone on the floor tiles of the collection room, reflecting the cold light and shining on his back.
He was covering his injured abdomen with one hand, facing the three figures standing in front of him. At this moment, Rum seemed helpless.
"I see, there are still your undercover agents in the organization..."
"Curaçao, right? Or Bourbon, Kiel?"
"At least there is Curacao. After all, without her, Bourbon and Kiel wouldn't be alive until now..."
Rum's thinking was still quick and he immediately figured out the problem.
But Qin Zhibo looked at him coldly and did not answer his doubts.
Instead, Rum sneered and continued to ask: "What are you going to do to me?"
"Do you want to arrest me and ask for information about the boss?"
"But unfortunately, I don't know the whereabouts of the boss either..."
Before Rum finished speaking, Haneda Yasuharu suddenly shouted angrily.
"I want you to pay with your life for my son!"
Haneda Yasuharu suddenly went to install a gun barrel on the armrest of the wheelchair, but fortunately, Akai Mutake next to him immediately hugged his body.
"Haneda!"
"I understand how you feel now, but you can't let him die so happily!"
"About the organization, we can also get a lot of information from him!"
Akai Mutake's movements were not large, but he shook Haneda Yasuharu's shoulders very firmly and forcefully.
Matsunaka Yuriko also lay on Haneda's knees, looking up with tears in her eyes.
"grandfather……"
Haneda Yasuharu looked at Akai Mutake in front of her, then looked down at Matsunaka Yuriko, and finally slowly let go of her right hand and closed her eyes in pain.
Qin Zhibo still stood where he was, keeping his pistol pointed at Rum.
At this moment, the three men in the moonlight seemed to have returned to the beach in Hawaii 19 years ago.
They are still the three people in the group photo, but they have changed.
Koji Haneda, who took the photo of the three of them, is no longer here.
"Haha, did you want to avenge that genius shogi player?"
At this time, Rum sneered and continued to make noises.
"Originally I didn't want to kill him, but in order to protect that woman, he took the initiative to reveal the boss's name, so I had to silence him."
"His name is Haneda Koji!" Haneda Yasuharu roared.
But then, he coughed due to excessive exertion, and Akai Muwu quickly patted his back.
Rum let out a light breath and glanced at Yasuharu Haneda, but did not respond.
He continued: "It's so ridiculous..."
"Koji Haneda may never have imagined that the woman he risked his life to protect was actually the boss's wife."
"Actually, not only him, but also me was deceived..."
A smile appeared on the corner of Rum's mouth, but it was just a self-deprecating sneer.
Immediately, his identity trembled slightly and he sat down on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Qin Zhibo immediately realized something was wrong and hurried forward to check.
Rum's breathing rhythm was suddenly disrupted, and a small amount of blood came out of his nostrils.
The bullets used by Haneda Yasuharu were of very small caliber, and the bullets did not hit the fatal position. Logically speaking, there should not be such a reaction.
Qin Zhibo immediately realized that Rum must have taken poison.
And this is indeed the case.
The moment Rum saw his men being shot dead, he drank the poison he had hidden in his mouth.
Whether he is caught by the police or taken back to face trial by someone from the organization, he cannot accept it.
So he was ready to commit suicide at any time.
Qin Zhibo knew that Rum had no way to save his life, so he quickly took the last moment to ask him questions.
"Is the woman you are talking about Rachel Asaka?"
"What is her identity?"
Qin Zhibo had already learned from James about Rumei Wakasa's disappearance.
If Asaka's identity is wrong, then Haihara Ai's disappearance is most likely caused by her, not Rum.
However, Rum sat on the ground, supporting the ground with one hand, holding his upper body upright so as not to fall down, as if he would not even say anything about it.
Admittedly, he was disappointed with the boss.
But this does not mean that he will let the red side benefit.
And Qin Zhibo's attitude towards Rum has been expected for a long time. After all, he is the second in command of the organization, how could he switch sides immediately?
Otherwise, Rum would not be so respected by the boss.
So, Qin Zhibo took out the letter he had prepared long ago and held it in front of Rum's eyes.
"This is the letter your father wrote to you before he died. Don't you want to read it?"
The moment he saw this letter, Rum's right eye pupil suddenly widened.
He raised his hand that was not touching the ground to grab the envelope.
But Qin Zhibo moved the letter back very deftly, making it impossible for him to catch it.
Seeing this, he grinned slightly, and blood seeped from between his teeth onto his lips.
"It was that woman... who took away... Shirley..."
"I don't know her identity...but she is definitely related to that ship..."
Rum kept panting and talking intermittently.
Qin Zhibo waited for two seconds, and after confirming that his expression was not lying, he threw the letter at him.
The light envelope floated to the ground. Rum crawled to the letter like a bereaved dog, opened the envelope with trembling hands, and pulled out the letter paper.
At the beginning of the letter, Isekawa Gozo explained to the heirs that his wealth did not come from a legitimate source, but with the help of the power of evil.
Only the last sentence was what Isekawa Gozo wanted to say to his eldest son.
【Rum, your father is waiting for you in hell】
The moment Rum read this sentence, his throat felt sweet, his eyes suddenly widened, and his right hand holding the letter fell outward.
Rum.
Death!
Please go back to Chapter 933 "Son inherits father's legacy" for the full content of the letter.
