Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 176 No Self, No Appearance
A long time ago, when Gen Tamako was a child, she watched a documentary about a traditional martial arts duel between Japan and the United States.

She was very confused at the time, wondering what traditional martial arts the United States had. After watching it, she realized that it was American Iai, which involved two shots in one frame, and eight shots in one second at close range. Every shot hit the target, and it seemed that being a cowboy was not that easy.

The next person to make a brilliant appearance is the Japanese swordsman. It is said that his swordsmanship is so superb that he can chop bullets with his knife. He wants to face off against the cowboys head-on to prove that cold weapons have not yet withdrawn from the stage of the times.

As expected, the cowboy shot through the sword master's leg, and the duel was over before he even drew his sword. Yuan Yuzi felt that she was probably influenced by this documentary, so she became less interested in sports.

Two years later, the documentary had a sequel. The sword master recovered from his wounds and challenged a Japanese gunman. He used his unsharpened sword to split the bullets in two strikes, lunged forward, and chopped the gunman to the ground in a blink of an eye.

At the time, Yuan Yuzi thought it was too fake. She thought that "Mr. Sword Saint" must have deliberately found an actor, added some video special effects, and remade the documentary in order to restore his reputation - after all, how could a mortal body be faster than a bullet?
But someone did it.

Right before her eyes, at that moment just now, her worldview was forcibly refreshed.

Then, Gen Yuzi turned around and looked at Fengjian Qianji who was hiding in the corner, thinking that it was really wrong for her to suspect that Sister Qianji was the leader of the Tianfa Group!

She reflected on herself and felt that it was because she was greedy and reckless that she became suspicious... She must not do this again! Even if she wanted to be a criminal police officer, she had to prove herself with her achievements!

"Wait...if there's a fight in the front carriage, what will Xiaoye do? Didn't she go to the front?"

Yuan Yuzi's hair stood up, her back felt cold and she got goose bumps all over.

"What, are you planning to save people?" Fushimi Shika asked back.

For a moment, Yuan Yuzi wanted to shake her head and say no. She was really scared. The knife just now left a deep psychological trauma on her. Even if she didn't hit him, the murderous aura that came towards her made her feel like she was on the verge of death.

But soon, Yuan Yuzi remembered that she was a police officer.

Gen Tamako still remembered the promise Kawai made to her, and the oath she took in the police academy auditorium: "Not to be afraid of any incident, not to be hated by anyone, to perform police duties with one's own conscience, impartially and fairly" - she was going to be a famous detective and police inspector in the future, how could she back down so easily?!

"I want to go!" Yuan Yuzi said seriously.

She has received professional training and knows how to provide reinforcements in indoor battles, so she will not cause trouble for the search department. Moreover, with her marksmanship, she can definitely help. The members of the Sky Punishment Team cannot all be monsters who can kill with knives and bullets, right?
Fushimi Shika raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't Officer Kinoshita ask you to prioritize your own safety?"

"They are police officers, and so am I. If they can go to the battlefield, why can't I? Is it because I am the daughter of Kujo Yui? I don't need this kind of privilege! Since I want to be a detective, I am also prepared to risk my life!"

When Gen Tamako said this, she was not saying it out of anger, but it came from her heart - only by gaining the recognition of everyone can one become a famous police captain; and it is not by becoming a famous police captain that one can gain the recognition of everyone!

Any normal person would be moved by her tenacity at this moment.

But unfortunately, no one present was a normal person. Fushimi Shika said with a look of disgust: "What are you doing? Do you think you are filming a movie? Are you coming back as a king?"; Kazama Chihiro also gently dissuaded: "It's too dangerous, Miss Tamako, it's safer to stay here"; even Hira Sakurako leaned out of the cardboard box and nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

As the saying goes, "Three people make a tiger", the courage that Yuan Yuzi had finally mustered was somewhat lost. She pouted and said, "I'll go alone and won't be a burden to you, why do you say such harsh words?" This was directed at Fushimi Shika alone.

Fushimi Shika was also having a headache. He was thinking about how to kill someone to silence him, but he was completely devastated by the knife. He thought it would be safer to use a gun, so he planned to sneak into the front carriage and shoot him, but unexpectedly, the little girl Gen Tamaki insisted on joining in the fun... What if Kazama Chihiro shouted before she died, then wouldn't all his work be in vain?
He thought for a moment, then suddenly an idea came to him and he said in a deep voice:

"Gunfights are very dangerous! Enemies not only shoot, but they also talk! Words can hurt people more than bullets. They will deceive you with all kinds of lies and make you doubt your teammates... What if you are not determined enough and shoot your teammates? I don't think it's a good idea. You will just cause trouble if you go there."

"I'm not that stupid!" Yuan Yuzi was unconvinced.

"What if you get fooled?" Fushimi Shika asked back.

"Absolutely not! No matter what they say, I won't believe it!" As he spoke, Yuan Yuzi lowered his head to remove the magazine and loaded bullets into it: "I know super cold reading skills, how could I be fooled so easily?"

"Okay, then I'll go with you." Fushimi Shika showed a reluctant expression and sighed deeply, as if saying, 'There's really nothing I can do about you.'

"Really, really?"

Gen Tamako was very excited. She didn't expect that Fushimi-kun was willing to follow her through life and death. The bond between the reasoning team was indeed indestructible!
"Of course it's true, we are partners after all!" Fushimi Shika nodded.

Gen Yuzi was so moved that she almost cried. It had been nearly a year since she met Fushimi Shika, and this was the first time she heard Fushimi Shika admit that "we are partners"... It was hard to describe the joy she felt. It felt like her hard work had finally paid off.

Fushimi Shika bent down and picked up a pistol from the ground. He checked the magazine and found it was empty. Seeing this, Yuan Yuzi hurriedly ran behind one of the chairs and pulled out a dozen bullets from the gap... She was worried that the people in the Heavenly Punishment Group would suddenly come to their senses and pick up guns to use, so she secretly hid the collected bullets.

Fushimi Shika was too lazy to complain. He loaded the bullets, put the safety on the pistol, put it on his waist, and prepared to go.

Chihime Kazama also wanted to help, as she knew swordsmanship and might be able to protect Tsubaki Hazuki. Gen Tamaki wanted to refuse, but Fushimi Shika asked her to go along, saying there was strength in numbers.

As for Hira Sakurako, she was already terrified and was hiding in a cardboard box, which Fushimi Shika stuffed under the seat. Gen Tamako earnestly told her not to run around, comforted her not to be afraid, and promised that they would be back soon.

Everything is ready, the three continue to move forward.

Fushimi Shika walked through the aisle, and Gen Yuzi followed behind him. She leaned over and whispered, "Speaking of which, if Sister Qianji is not a suspect, who do you think will be the leader of the Heavenly Punishment Team? Is there a suspect with the same appearance? I can help you analyze it."

Hearing this, Fushimi Shika glanced at Kazama Chihime. He recalled that when he arrived at the Yinliu Dojo, the woman in front of him looked exactly the same as before.

From the very beginning, he knew why Chihiro Kazama's alibi was perfect, and he also knew how she escaped from the scene calmly without being noticed by any witnesses.
