Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 298 Eve of Dawn
Mayu Ito planned to escape again, but Fushimi Shika was not a weakling like Minamoto Tamako. Even if he was unarmed and naked with only a towel on his body, he could still annihilate the enemy and hunt down the criminals.

He just slid and used the Blue Cat's Naughty Three Front Kick, commonly known as the sweeping kick, which tripped Mayu Ito while holding the hem of the bath towel to avoid exposure. After all, boys have to protect themselves when they go out.

Mayu Ito fell flat on her face and bowed to the bathroom curtain. Yuan Yuzi stood at the door, not daring to open her eyes to look inside. After hearing the noise, she subconsciously took two steps back.

"Say it or not?!"

Fushimi Shika yelled, picked up the bench again, and prepared to smash Ito Mayu on the butt.

The uncles recovered and shouted that they would never give up. One by one, they staggered to their feet from the ground as if they were raging with blood. It seemed that they were ready to fight Fushimi Shika to the death - but they still had their clothes on, and the scene became even more unbearable to watch.

"--stop!"

Mayu Ito covered her nose, shouted, turned over, and explained the identities of Fushimi Kaka and Minamoto Tamako at a very fast speed.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and suddenly stopped. For a moment, the scene became more and more weird.

Fushimi Shika couldn't stand it anymore and suggested changing clothes before settling the score, and the others tacitly agreed.

It is a rule in the underworld not to fight while changing clothes. Even in special effects films, everyone's transformation will not be interrupted.

After changing their clothes, the uncles finally looked like human beings. Fushimi Lu looked up and recognized their faces as the innkeepers he had just met at the Tokaikan. His attention had been focused on other parts of the body, fearing that they would be bumped into or that someone would suddenly stand up.

Everyone came out of the hot spring pool and stood outside the door curtain. Yuan Yuzi looked like she was looking at a suspect, staring at them one by one, afraid that anyone would run away.

Mayu Ito was the last one to come out. She lowered her head to apologize, explain, and claim that it was just a misunderstanding.

"We thought Mr. Fushimi was Sakurako's adoptive father, so..."

The hotel owners started explaining that they had actually lied before. For example, the dancer who took away Hira Sakurako was actually Ito Mayu. Many residents saw it at the time, and they took the initiative to help block the tourists' view, which made Hira Sakurako suddenly disappear in the crowd.

Yuan Yuzi was very good at drawing inferences from one instance, and immediately asked, "So, the charred bodies in the bonfire were also left by you? If a group of people conspired together, they could have hidden the victims inside the woodpile in advance... Tell me! Who is your mastermind?!"

Hearing this, the hotel owners hesitated and did not dare to answer. They all looked up at the sky and down at the ground, with an expression of "it's none of my business".

Gen Yuzi was really angry, her fists clenched tightly. If she didn't have handcuffs, she would have handcuffed these people, taken them back to the police station, and let Section Chief Kinoshita interrogate them severely.

Now was not the time to investigate and hold accountable. She was not in the mood to find out the truth. She anxiously asked where Sakurako was - where did these guys take Sakurako? !

Mayu Ito said that they were about to meet up with Hira Sakurako, and if Gen Tamako and Fushimi Shika didn't mind, they could come with them.

In addition, the uncles at the hotel apologized to Fushimi Shika with a very sincere attitude, claiming that their previous bad attitude towards Fushimi Shika was not intentional, and that the attack in the bathhouse was because they did not understand the situation clearly. In short, they bowed and shouted "I'm so sorry" in unison.

The two of them discussed in low voices, and Gen Yuzi felt that the townspeople must have some ulterior motives, so she told Fushimi-kun to be alert and keep a close eye on them;

It was a rare occasion for Fushimi Shika to encounter a situation where the other person apologized after he had hit them, so he naturally didn't take it too seriously. He thought he could follow them and see if he could find the whereabouts of Hira Sakurako.

After being persuaded by Fushimi Shika, Gen Tamako calmed down a little and felt that there was something strange about this matter.

Why would the townspeople try to collectively attack Sakurako's adoptive father?

Why did they give up the idea after learning about Fushimi Shika's identity?
Besides, why did they kidnap Sakurako? Why did they say they were going to meet Sakurako now? Could it be that Sakurako was in league with them?
More and more doubts popped up in her mind, like mushrooms after rain. In order to find the truth and to find Sakurako, Gen Tamako decided to follow Ito Mayu and others - the destination was on the cliff by the sea, next to the Ishirozaki Lighthouse.

Yuan Yuzi didn't say a word along the way. She had been trekking for a whole day and was extremely tired. It was already very tiring just to keep up on foot.

Mayu Ito wanted to help and said she could carry her over, but was rejected by Minamoto Tamako.

She was a criminal police officer after all, how could she let the suspect be carried on her back? If this got out, how could she continue to be a famous detective and police inspector in the future?
But Fushimi-kun has no sense at all. As a partner, why doesn't he help her? The suspect knows how to be considerate of the detective, but Fushimi-kun is blind. It's really disappointing!
"No one helped me up the mountain."

One point deducted.

Gen Yuzi holds a grudge again.

By the time everyone arrived at the Ishirangaki Lighthouse, it was already past three o'clock, the darkest time of the night. The morning star was hanging in the sky, shining brightly and very beautiful.

Many people gathered under the Ishirozaki Lighthouse, all of them local residents, mostly women. Seeing that Yuan Yuzi and others were safe and sound, they were surprised and hurriedly reunited with their husbands, gathering together and whispering.

"Why, why are there so many people..."

Yuan Yuzi sat down on the lawn, leaned back, supported the ground with both hands, looked up at the sky and gasped, not wanting to move at all.

Fushimi Shika was strolling leisurely. He had just finished soaking in the hot springs and felt relaxed all over, so he took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery on a hike, enjoying the sea breeze.

When he reached the lighthouse, he noticed a stone pillar standing on the edge of the cliff, about half a meter high. The cracks in the stone were covered with moss, and there were weeds all around. A few lines of words were vaguely engraved on it.

Fushimi Shika thought it was some kind of tourist attraction, so he went over to take a look. The stone had been eroded by the sea breeze, and the writing was blurred. After looking at it for a long time, he could only make out half a sentence:

"Please shout..."

What to shout?
Fushimi Shika guessed that it was another marketing tactic of shouting at the sea, and maybe they would charge money for each shout. In his previous life, he had seen tourist attractions where the louder the volume, the higher the water column. They would be defrauded of fifty yuan for just one shout. It would be better to pretend that he didn't see it.

"Want to try?"

Ito Mayu's questioning voice came from behind him.

Fushimi Shika turned around and saw Mayu Ito with tissues stuffed in her nostrils. She said with anticipation, "This is the most famous custom in Minamiizu Town. As long as you shout the name of someone you cherish towards the sea, there will definitely be a response."

Fushimi Luxin thought that as expected, the people in the mountains were very cunning and were still thinking about making money at this time. Unfortunately, the marketing methods were too blunt and he would not be fooled. He immediately shook his head and refused.

Yuan Yuzi's ears twitched. She was a little moved when she heard this, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Besides, now was not the time to experience the local customs. She paused for four or five minutes and asked Mayu Ito and others:
"Didn't you say you were going to meet up with Sakurako? Where is she?"

Mayu Ito pointed to the end of the cliff, where the sea surface and the night sky merged into one. The lighthouse broke through the evening breeze, and there was vaguely a black dot swaying in the waves.

It was a small, dilapidated fishing boat.

Gen Tamako put her hands flat on her eyes, looking out like a monkey, but still couldn't see clearly. She turned her head and asked Ito Mayu what was going on. The latter sighed softly and sat down on the edge of the cliff. Everyone gathered around Fushimi Kaka and Gen Tamako, looking expectant.

"It's a long story," Mayu Ito said, "Fortunately, it's still early."
