NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 255

American Dream (3)

William Howard Taft.

He was once the President of the United States, the conqueror of the New World, but is now a retired politician.

One unique aspect was that, unlike other politicians who retired after their presidency and spent the rest of their lives quietly, Taft took on the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Of course, he did not sit in this seat because he wanted to. He was put in that position half voluntarily and half involuntarily by former President Warren Harding, a puppet of the Republican Party.

Thanks to this, Taft became a politician who served as both President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, which is rare in the world.

Taft’s evaluation was not good during his presidency due to poor timing and a series of unfortunate events, but he displayed considerable ability while serving as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Thanks to this, Taft was able to rise to a position where he was evaluated favorably by not only his colleagues but also those who were negative toward him.

“We have arrived.”

“Ahem.”

“Have a nice day today.”

A sunny day perfect for an outing.

Taft’s car stopped in front of the Supreme Court.

Then Taft, who was so fat that he was more like a walking steak than a person, got out of the car.

“Whew… … Whoosh… … .”

Even though the weather was quite cool, sweat was already running down Taft’s forehead.

“It’s hot.”

Taft walked to work at the Supreme Court, leaning on a cane and swaying his large buttocks.

No, I was going to work.

“William Howard Taft.”

“?”

Taft turned around at the sound of a voice calling his name.

Then the muzzle of a gun appeared.

After that, a person wrapped entirely in black came into view.

“?!”

Taft, who saw the gun, instinctively tried to run away, but his heavy body tangled his feet and he rolled down the steps of the Supreme Court like a ball.

“Ugh! Ouch! Ugh!”

Taft, who had been rolling around like a bouncing rugby ball for a while, finally landed on the ground with his whole body covered in bruises.

His neatly arranged clothes were torn here and there, and his skin, much more delicate than that of a pig in a barn, was torn and bleeding.

There, his hair was disheveled and blood flowed out from his head hitting the floor.

“Ugh… … .”

As Taft tried to get up from his seat, clutching his head, something touched his head.

It was cool and heavy… … and yet it was as cold as ice.

“… … .”

Taft looked up.

Then he tried to look at the face of the person who had pointed a gun at him.

But at noon, when the sun was directly overhead, the glaring sunlight cast a dark shadow on his hat, obscuring his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

“Who are you… … !”

Taft roared.

It was a struggle to calm the fear in my heart, but unfortunately, the other person didn’t even blink and answered calmly.

“I am here to represent the countless people whose lives are entangled in your tongue.”

“What is that… … .”

“In the East, this is usually referred to as… … karma coming back to you.”

“Karma?”

-bang!

That was Taft’s will.

-Tang tang tang!

A shot to Taft’s head.

There were three bullets in his body.

A giant of American politics was killed with just four bullets.

William Howard Taft.

He was 67 years old.

* * *

Taft is dead.

The Chief Justice of the United States was murdered in front of the Supreme Court building.

Needless to say, many people around them witnessed this unprecedented incident in broad daylight with their own eyes, and screams were heard from all directions.

“A, a person… … is dead.”

“Murderer! Murderer!”

“help!”

As a commotion broke out among the people, the police guarding the Supreme Court building heard the commotion and rushed in one by one.

and.

“Chief Justice?”

“Emergency! Emergency! The Chief Justice has been shot!”

“The alarm is ringing… … .”

-Clang.

But the culprit didn’t stay still.

He pulled out a long gun hidden in the hem of his coat and opened fire at the police before they swarmed in from all directions.

-Tutadadada.

“Eww!”

“Eek!”

The sudden gunfire made the police look for suitable cover, such as a sturdy stone wall, and those who could not find it fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, the criminal, who had emptied an entire magazine, leisurely approached the taxi driver’s seat waiting in front of the Supreme Court and handed him a thousand dollars, saying:

“I’ll buy this taxi.”

“… … ?”

Before the taxi driver could even answer, he was dragged out and rolled around on the asphalt.

-Brrrrr.

The police hurriedly took out their guns and aimed at the taxi, but there were so many civilians there that they couldn’t easily shoot.

So when they hurriedly ran to the taxi stand, the taxi was already a long time away.

“ah…….”

The police watched the taxi leaving in the distance, then hurriedly got into a nearby taxi and started yelling at the taxi drivers.

“Chase that taxi quickly!”

“yes?”

“I’m on official duty, so hurry!”

“Oh, yes… … .”

“You stay here and request support, and contact headquarters and tell them to block all escape routes!”

The police chased the taxi urgently.

But given Washington’s terrible traffic conditions, where people, horses, and cars all mix together, it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack for the car behind to catch up with the car in front.

“Let’s go a little faster!”

“This is going fast.”

“Go faster! If you keep going like this, you’ll miss the culprit!”

“I’m trying… … .”

There, the opponent was handling the car as if it were his own body, zooming through the narrow alleys and slicing away at anyone following him.

The car was so fast that horses and people on the road were startled and would run wild or swerve, causing accidents here and there.

Thanks to this, traffic chaos occurred in the area as cars and horses became entangled on the road, and the criminal was able to leisurely shake off his pursuers and escape.

-bang!

“shit!”

“Ugh… … . I tried hard.”

The police who were chasing the criminal had no choice but to watch the criminal’s taxi drive away, like a dog chasing a chicken.

[… … This incident is a challenge to the American judiciary, and we want to let our citizens know that the United States of America will never surrender to those who threaten our safety, as it has always done.]

A middle-aged man’s voice, slightly serious and tearful, flowed out from the doctor’s radio.

[Taft… … William Howard Taft has been called many things to us. The worst president, the best chief justice, the most loyal patriot… … a friend, brother, husband, and father to many… … .]

[Mr. President! There is talk that the terrorist attack at the tomb of former President Theodore Roosevelt and the perpetrator of this incident are related. What do you think about that?]

[… … As for that matter, the investigative authorities are working hard to track down the culprit, so please wait a little while and you will get the results.]

[How did the police miss the culprit at the scene? I heard in the official announcement that the culprit was an individual, not a group!]

[About that too… … .]

-Beep.

Then a young man appeared, turned off Dr. Lee’s radio and asked him:

“How about the police?”

“… … Everyone was in an uproar.”

“That’s obvious, but is there any other reaction?”

“Hmm. I heard that they’ve practically sealed off Washington, D.C., to catch the culprit, and are checking everyone who walks the streets.”

“okay.”

The young man smiled calmly and put a cigarette in his mouth.

When Dr. Lee saw that, he frowned and scolded the young man.

“There is no smoking in my house.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll just keep it in my mouth.”

The young man threw himself into the armchair, chewing the cigarette filter.

The young man, who had surrendered himself to the comfort of the armchair that embraced his entire body while sinking deep into it, smiled and asked the doctor.

“What do you think will happen with the US government?”

Dr. Lee, who had been thinking for a moment, carefully opened his mouth.

“I don’t know what your intention is in saying that.”

“I didn’t mean to… … . There was nothing like that. I just don’t know much about the situation in the United States, so I’m asking you, Dr. Lee, who is very knowledgeable about the situation in the United States.”

“hmm.”

The doctor nodded and became lost in thought again.

The incident was one of the few assassinations of a high-ranking political figure in the relatively short history of the United States.

Moreover, unlike President Lincoln who was assassinated before him, he was murdered not in a private place but in a public place, the Supreme Court building, in front of countless citizens.

And then he leisurely left the crime scene… … It was obvious what the United States government would think of this.

‘Although he is a former president, this is the second assassination of a president after Lincoln.’

It will never be taken lightly.

The police in Washington were immediately in an uproar, the FBI was launching a full-scale investigation, and there was some talk of Pinkerton’s involvement.

The United States was now in turmoil over the news of Taft’s death.

Even middle-class people who usually look at stock charts were talking about this incident, so there is no need to say more about how much interest Americans have.

As public interest reached its peak, it was clear that the U.S. government, which lives off public opinion, would absolutely not sit idly by and watch this happen.

“… … The U.S. government will use every means at its disposal to find the culprit.”

“okay.”

The doctor clicked his tongue slightly at the sight of the young man acting calm as if he had just twisted the neck of a chick.

“Huh, how can you be so calm? The United States of America is chasing you right now.”

“Yes, I know.”

“You know that? You don’t know the power of America! You don’t know that if they really put their mind to it, there’s nothing they can’t do!”

“That’s amazing. If your wishes come true… …. Then, would you like to make a bet?”

“A bet? You’re talking so peacefully right now… … .”

The doctor seemed a bit nervous, thinking about the US government’s encirclement closing in on them at any moment, but the young man still spoke with a calm demeanor.

“Sooner or later, the U.S. government will put some Chinese national forward as the culprit.”

“What? How do you know that?”

“Well… … should I say it’s something like intuition?”

“Intuition?”

And a few days later.

[The Taft assassination culprit is caught!]

[The culprit is Wei Han, who came from China.]

[Director John Edgar Hoover, hero of the Federal Bureau of Investigation!]

Almost every newspaper ran a big story announcing that the killer had been caught, and it was widely known.

The doctor put down the newspaper and asked the real culprit, who was sitting in front of him, calmly savoring the aroma of coffee.

“How did this happen?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why is it that an innocent Chinese person is being arrested and not you?”

“Well, how would I know?”

“Listen! Explain it properly… … .”

Despite the doctor’s anger, the young man calmly answered while sipping his coffee.

“It is impossible for a normal person to read the mind of a madman. If you ask me why Director Hoover arrested the Chinese, how would I know?”

“what……?”

“They just rounded up any Asian person in Washington before the public outcry and made them into criminals.”

“… … ?”

This was a logic that was difficult for the doctor to understand.

“But… … isn’t that illegal?”

“How many of those in power in America today really follow the law?”

“Still… … This is… … a deception to deceive the people.”

“Isn’t it the way con artists think that the people they’re conning are stupid? In my view, Hoover is the biggest con artist in America.”

“… … .”

The doctor kept his mouth shut.

He didn’t want to understand this disgusting behavior that he couldn’t possibly understand.

“… … Tsk.”

“Why are you clicking your tongue? Are you now an apostle of justice, someone who refused to defend me in the Stevens case for fear of damaging the reputation of Koreans in America?”

“No! That’s because they actually committed a crime, and this one is different.”

“I guess so.”

The young man stood up and whistled.

Then the doctor asked him in a nervous voice.

“Where are you going!”

“Well, I plan to go and show that justice still exists in this land.”

“What the… … .”

“Now that an innocent person is locked up, we need to let the US government know that they are messing up the situation.”
