Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 304: The Tiger of the Crime Squad Cao Dalu
Fushimi Shika quickly adjusted his mentality. Their current relationship was not in an ideal state. Even if he wanted to be a gigolo, he had to wait until he became the "Tiger of the Serious Crime Squad" first, so that Tamakomon would obey his orders and take out the gold card for him to swipe...

At this moment, Fushimi Shika looked nonchalant, pretending that he had heard nothing, and followed him away.

Mayu Ito frowned, vaguely having a bad premonition. Fushimi Shika is indeed similar to Koizumi-san's scumbag boyfriend, but now he doesn't express his attitude, refuse, or approach her, and even plays dumb in front of everyone. It's obvious that he's trying to keep Minamoto Tamako hanging!

Bah, arrogant man!
She had a very good impression of Yuan Yuzi, and thought that she was a kind-hearted police officer. She would lend a helping hand to people in need when she met them on the road, and would send them home even if she was exhausted and out of breath. It was obvious that she was very responsible... How could such a good girl be so blind as to fall for such a pretty boy?

Obviously she is not bad looking!

Mayu Ito and the townspeople started talking about it, and the village intelligence center started working quickly. Everyone gathered together and whispered, telling each other about the progress of the two people's relationship.

"Ms. Tamako's secret crush might be a frivolous guy..."

"What? Fushimi-kun is actually a Masochist?"

"I see. No wonder he's so good at fighting..."

"He's so skilled at tripping people, maybe he's killed someone before..."

"Tsk, I bet he killed at least three people!"

"...I think at least ten people..."

"Twenty... they look like murderers..."

"It should be at least a hundred, right?"

……

On the other side, Fushimi Shika and Minamoto Tamako met up with Hira Sakurako one after another.

Yuan Yuzi was still in a state of embarrassment. Sakurako ran away from home and was caught red-handed. She just ran into the trap. She pouted her lips and criticized Sakurako for disappearing without permission, not answering the phone, and not leaving a note...

Before she finished speaking, Yuan Yuzi felt that her tone was a bit harsh.

The current atmosphere was not suitable for educating children, and she herself had not yet calmed down. She might even vent her anger on others, so she changed the subject:
"It's all Fushimi-kun's fault for not setting a good example!"

Fushimi Shika felt puzzled. What did it have to do with him if the naughty kid ran away from home?

I just heard Gen Tamako start to mutter. She said that it was all because of Fushimi-kun's sudden disappearance, which set a bad example for Hira Sakurako. Then she said that it was all Fushimi-kun's fault for not educating his sister and not instilling a correct sense of safety in Hira Sakurako... In short, it was all Fushimi Shika's fault!
Another five points deduction!

Gen Tamako took out a white notebook and wrote down "Fushimi-kun neglected his own sister". She felt a little relieved physically and mentally, and the tension she had just felt when shouting on the edge of the cliff gradually subsided.

Fortunately, she was smart and changed her words in time to avoid a disaster!

Well, I guess you didn’t hear it.

Gen Tamako silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, and then urged Fushimi-kun to hurry down the mountain and investigate the whole story of the bonfire corpse case.

Fushimi Shika had his own plans. In order to get rid of this follower, he pushed Sakurako out as a shield: "Sakurako finally found her biological mother. Are you going to drive her away now?"

Previously, Ping Yingzi also used him as a shield, but now they are even.

Hearing this, Yuan Yuzi was stunned for a moment, and felt that this made sense. She really didn't take Sakurako's feelings into consideration. She traveled a long way to Shizuoka Prefecture to look for her relatives, but ended up learning about her mother's death. She should at least offer condolences, right? She wanted to look at Ping Yingzi's expression, but unfortunately, she was wearing a mask and couldn't see anything. Maybe she was already very sad... Thinking of this, Yuan Yuzi carefully comforted her, then turned and pointed to the stone pillar next to the lighthouse.

"That is... the grave of Koizumi Mizuha."

Her voice was very soft, as if she was worried about disturbing the sleeper.

Ping Yingzi made a "hmm" sound, which sounded muffled through the mask.

The townspeople separated tacitly, leaving a path. The sun rose over the sea, the waves sparkled, and a golden blanket of light fell on the stone pillars. She stepped forward on the shadows, and the sunlight gradually spread down from above her head.

The stone pillar was at the level of her waist, and the wild grass swayed in the wind.

Ping Yingzi was silent for a long time. She put down the cardboard box and sat down beside the stone pillar.

Everyone felt it was inconvenient to disturb her, so they pushed and shoved to leave. They gathered in the bushes in the forest, looking at the back of Hira Sakurako from afar. Gen Tamako mixed in with them, and she saw Hira Sakurako open the cardboard box and take out a scraper and a small shovel, which should be the tools she usually uses to make Noh noodles.

Ping Yingzi leaned forward, like the most focused craftsman in the world, scraped away the moss on the stone tablet, scraped off the loose soil, and chiseled the marks on the back bit by bit, making the mottled and unclear handwriting appear before her eyes again.

Gen Yuzi's face was moved. She wanted to go up and help, but was afraid of disturbing Sakurako, so she could only hide behind the tree trunk and peek.

At this time, Fushimi Shika suddenly became disappointed and said that he wanted to go down the mountain to investigate the murder case.

Yuan Yuzi thought that why didn't he go earlier or later, but chose to go at this time? He showed no vision at all, which made her want to deduct points again!

Of course she wanted to get to the bottom of the bonfire corpse case, but she was afraid that Ping Yingzi would disappear again, so she had to keep an eye on Ping Yingzi to prevent her from running around. She was really unable to do so, so she had to let Fushimi Shika go first - this guy really ruined the atmosphere, her eyes were about to twitch, but Fushimi-kun looked indifferent.

After Fushimi-kun finds out the whole story of the case, she will go directly to read the case files to avoid having to ask others for help like Baka's assistant.

Yes, that's right, that's how it should be!
After making up his mind, Yuan Yuzi waved his hand impatiently, with an expression like a little deer kneeling down.

Fushimi Shika pretended to be nonchalant and walked slowly. After four or five minutes, he looked back and made sure he was out of Gen Yuzi's sight, then he ran away.

It was five o'clock in the morning, the travelers were still asleep, the townspeople were gathered on the cliff, the hot spring street was quiet, the Fushimi deer ran into the village and stopped at the bonfire party site.

The charred wreckage lay quietly in the charcoal, with black ash piled up around it. The scene had not been cleaned up yet and looked particularly messy.

Fushimi Shika put on his gloves and took a deep breath.

He stood in front of the charred corpse, and before the morning sun in the distance illuminated the street, he slowly closed his eyes, and reality receded like the tide.

He reconstructed the scene in his mind. The ground solidified into ink-colored marble, and the "Trial Court" rose from the ground. The stone pillars were engraved with all the unsolved cases in human history: Jack the Ripper's dagger, the blood-stained skirt in the Black Dahlia case, and the strange frame rate of Elisa Lam's elevator surveillance...

This time, he was no longer a judge, but a defense lawyer.

Yuan Yuzi was wearing a black judge's robe, her face solemn, holding the gavel in her right hand, sitting upright and looking down at him.

"The court is in session!"
