Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 277: Fire Tree in the Rain
Time goes back to when the assistant suddenly died.

As a professional journalist, Momo Yazaki is first-class in both business and psychological quality. Even though she has made mistakes because of money, this does not affect her ability as a frontline reporter.

Yazaki Momo had just finished filming the entire process of her assistant pollinating when she turned around and found that everyone else had been scared away. She weighed the pros and cons for a moment and did not choose to run away. Instead, she took the opportunity to sneak into the inner house of Wulinan and planned to conduct a thorough investigation.

As for the issue of violation of privacy, we can wait until we get the results of the investigation!

Momo Yazaki was holding a camera when she ran into Touken Fukuyama going out. The latter had a strong sense of stealing and was ready to do something bad. As a news hound, she could naturally smell the scent of big news, so she secretly followed him and found the secret door leading to the basement.

When Token Fukuyama entered the password, Momo Yazaki focused the lens and used it as a telescope to write down the password. The camera in her hand was worth 50 yen, not including the price of the lens. After all, she was making a living, so she had to buy the best even if she had to take out a loan.

After Fukuyama Doxian left, she quietly slipped into the basement.

As soon as the light was turned on, what came into view was an archive room with research materials piled on shelves on both sides. She flipped through them casually but could not understand a single word. Then, Yazaki Momo walked through the archive room and opened the iron door at the end. Inside was a laboratory. Behind the tempered glass, the culture dishes were full of corpses and tree people, which made her feel very sick.

Further on were the laboratory, dialysis room, and operating room...Momo Yazaki's camera kept clicking. This was a big revelation! She could already smell the headlines!
No, that's not right. It's national news! It's enough to arouse heated discussion among the whole nation, and maybe even attract international attention!

Momo Yazaki's mouth corners unconsciously raised when taking the photo, and the flash kept flashing in the room. At this moment, she looked more like a perverted voyeur than a criminal news reporter.

After filming the explosive content, Yazaki Momo was satisfied and planned to run away. If Fukuyama Touken came back, it would be bad, and she didn't want to devote herself to journalism for the time being.

When passing by the archive room, the files she had previously read fell to the ground, and an envelope was half exposed, with "Personally from my wife Noriko" written on it... Yazaki Momo picked it up, opened it curiously, and found that it contained Prince Fumihito's suicide note.

It's also very valuable! Take a picture of it!
Momo Yazaki took a photo as a souvenir. After reading the contents of the envelope, she also learned about the "treasure". She thought this was another big news: this was Prince Akishino's mysterious legacy, enough to ensure that his wife and daughter would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Once the news was revealed, it might set off a national treasure hunt craze...

As the saying goes, greed is the key to success. She had clearly obtained valuable first-hand information, but she could not help but continue investigating, wanting to find out what the so-called "treasure" was.

It doesn’t matter if she can’t figure it out. As long as she can find some plausible clues and use them as material for her to write a press release, that will be enough!

Momo Yazaki left the basement, groped her way, and sneaked into Prince Akishino's study.

She searched everywhere and found letters from Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko in the bookcase. In order to find clues about the treasure, she couldn't help reading the contents of the letters because she liked gossip.

"Hmm, so Fumihito is Noriko's senior..."

Momo Yazaki learned from the letter that the two were studying at the same university, fell in love at first sight, and started dating on campus.

Noriko Kawashima did not come from a prominent family, and her father was just an ordinary university professor. Prince Akishino was under considerable pressure from public opinion, and his parents were also relatively opposed to their relationship.

Perhaps because of his youthful vigor, Fumihito suddenly confessed his love to Noriko Kawashima on the streets of Tokyo. At that time, the scene was probably like something out of a Japanese drama. She was startled and did not agree immediately.

One reason was that she was only 21 years old at that time and as a girl she was still relatively reserved; the other reason was because of the rules of the Japanese royal family, when getting married, one must follow the order of seniority among brothers.

In other words, Prince Fumihito can only get married after Crown Prince Naruhito gets married.

At that time, Crown Prince Naruhito didn't even have a girlfriend, so marriage was naturally a long way off. Fumihito urged his brother to find a partner and persuade him to get married quickly, but Naruhito was a playboy and didn't want to be bound by marriage, so the two sides were deadlocked. Fumihito urged for a long time, but to no avail, so he planned to give up his position as a Japanese prince, leave the royal family, and take Kiko to England to get married.

Seeing that he was really determined and would rather give up his royal status to marry Kiko, the royal family had no choice but to allow the marriage.

There was no correspondence between the two after they got married. They must have lived a very happy life, inseparable and close to each other. Naturally, they did not need to send letters to ease their longing for each other.

These letters are their most precious memories.

After reading the article, Momo Yazaki learned that Mrs. Kiko loved to grow flowers and had studied flower arrangement. She was also the one who took care of the garden. Prince Akishino claimed that he loved to appreciate flowers, but in Momo Yazaki's opinion, this was probably a way for men to pick up girls and please their wives... In order to please his wife, Prince Akishino even had people renovate the yard and pond. He is truly a crazy wife-doting man.

Just as she was reading intently, she was startled by the sound of gunfire outside the door.

Momo Yazaki felt guilty and hurriedly stuffed the letter back into the drawer. She tiptoed out of the door and heard several gunshots coming from the corridor. She was so scared that her heart was pounding. She ran to places with light and ran into the alcove room in a panic.

Immediately afterwards, Wulinan became restless, tentacles hung from the ceiling, and the floor kept twisting. Yazaki Momo grabbed the candle on the altar and leaned against the wall, frightened out of her wits.

After a long stalemate, Yazaki Tao gradually came to her senses and found that the tentacles seemed to be afraid of fire and lingered around the fire. She tried to move the candle forward, and the tentacles on the ceiling immediately shrank back.

Seeing this, Momo Yazaki became bolder. She held the candle and planned to escape, but found that the small flame was not enough to protect her head or butt. After looking around, she had to light the wooden frame and planned to take a piece of it to make a torch.

Unexpectedly, when the flame came into contact with the dark green juice, it suddenly shot up, and the raging flames rushed to the ceiling in an instant.

Yazaki Momo fell to the ground, the fire was out of control in an instant, the tentacles kept struggling, like fish and shrimp on the grill. She hurriedly prepared to escape, and saw Akishino Mako's urn in her peripheral vision, thinking that if her ashes were burned, she would be a sinner for all eternity!

Yazaki Momo rushed over, picked up the urn, and ran towards the door desperately. Behind her, the fire shot up into the sky, and the heat waves hit her from behind. Her scalp was numb and she felt that she had caused a big disaster.

Just as she was about to run out the door, she was suddenly tripped by something and fell to the ground, losing her balance.

Why are there two bodies at the gate? !

The urn was strong enough to not break, but her camera was not necessarily the same, it broke into two pieces. Yazaki Momo was about to reach out to pick up the film when the flames swept over. Someone pulled her from behind, and the beams of the house collapsed at that moment, splashing sparks all over her face.

“My camera!”

Yazaki Momo screamed, and when she turned around, she saw Fushimi Kakashi and Gen Tamako dragging her out. Ono Ken and Mrs. Noriko had been transferred to the car. Fujiwara Hideo sat in the driver's seat, rolled down the window, and looked up at the flames that illuminated the dark clouds.

Prince Akishino's body stood in the center of the garden, his figure engulfed by flames.

Trees stand in the garden, burning with red and yellow flames; Wulin Temple is like a towering tree, with faint blue flames blooming wildly, lighting up all pupils.

The evening rain was drizzling, the dawn was breaking in the sky, and Noriko Kawashima saw the flowers blooming in flames.
