Sirens echoed through the streets of Kasukabe, blaring continuously from downtown to the Iwasaki estate. It was also a message to the criminals, announcing their arrival. Police cars diverged, blocking off every exit of the Iwasaki residence. An ambulance stopped at the main gate.
Police Chief Nakamura Yonosuke, wearing a bulletproof vest, hid behind a car door, shouting through a megaphone, "Attention inside, you are surrounded! If you have any sense, surrender and lay down your weapons. Otherwise, we will take severe measures!"
After repeating this three times, Nakamura Yonosuke heard no response from within. He wasted no more time, swept his gaze around, and gestured for an inspector to lead the charge. He himself would bring up the rear.
The inspector, looking helpless yet compelled by his superior, waved his hand and ordered, "Go!" The others didn't hesitate.
BANG, BANG! A few shots rang out, destroying the door lock. They cautiously pushed the door open.
