Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 306 PDD Points Deduction Rules
Recycling episode preview.

After coming down the mountain, Yuan Yuzi immediately went to the police officer in charge of the case to ask about the results of the investigation. If possible, it would be best if she could see the file... The result was naturally beyond her expectations. The police officer actually planned to end the case by committing suicide.

Her long-accumulated dissatisfaction finally erupted. She protested that this could not be treated so lightly. This was a murder case after all. The whole story must be investigated and a fair verdict must be given so that future generations can learn from it, instead of burying all the unknown murders, pretending that nothing happened, and blindly whitewashing the situation!

Only by facing the problem can we solve it!
If everyone is so perfunctory, won't other towns with similar situations repeat the same mistakes? Uncovering the dark side does bring pain, but it is the only way to the light!
Gen Tamako decided to get to the bottom of the charred corpse case herself. She ran to the scene and found that the gathering place for the bonfire party had been cleaned up - even the evidence forged by Fushimi Shika had been cleaned up.

After all, the residents of the town still have to live their lives as usual!

After the bonfire party, everyone would use the open space to dry fish, and the children also liked to have fun on the hillside. In less than a day, all traces were gone.

The detectives in charge of the case specially put up seals on Tsuchiya's house, but it was of no use. Tsuchiya's subordinates broke in and ransacked the house. The young vagrants in the town followed suit and went in to demolish the house. The house was filled with clanging and clanging noises.

At night, when Gen Tamako came to investigate, the Tsuchiya family had become a haunted house. There was an idiot sniffling at the door, responsible for collecting tickets from tourists. He claimed that people had really died in this attraction and guaranteed that the atmosphere was full of life.

"Hey, hey, hey! I haven't bought the ticket yet! Why are you going in?"

Ah Dai stopped Yuan Yuzi from entering. The latter was so angry that her face turned red. She loudly stated that this was the scene of a murder, not a place for them to play house!

When the passengers in line heard this, they whispered to each other that the staff of this haunted house attraction was quite professional. Even when Yuan Yuzi took out her police officer ID, everyone just thought the props were very detailed and thought it was part of the performance.

The poor and remote Ah Dai didn't recognize the police ID at all. He stared at him with cross-eyed eyes for a while, and finally uttered:
“Police officers have to buy tickets too.”

In desperation, Yuan Yuzi had to pay the money.

She went into the haunted house and was terrified. She didn't find out anything about the case and was only interested in the scary settings.

After coming out, she felt annoyed and blamed herself, and was a little unwilling to give up. She paid for the ticket again and went through the Tsuchiya family copy for the second time. Sure enough, she was not as scared as the first time, but she still found nothing.

As the saying goes, the right time is not as important as the right location, and the right location is not as important as the people. At the moment, Yuan Yuzi has no advantage in terms of time, location, and people, so it is natural that he was defeated.

But she was stubborn and would not give up until she got to the bottom of the matter. She also pestered Fushimi Shika to explain his reasoning. The latter naturally deceived and interfered with the direction of Gen Yuzi's investigation, deceiving her to ask the old abbot of Shuzenji Temple, who might find some surprises.

"Amitabha, Mr. Tsuchiya is entangled in karma. The Buddha blames him and sends down a punishment from heaven, causing him to burn to death."

The old abbot is full of nonsense, worthy of being a Japanese monk.

After hearing this, Yuan Yuzi only half believed it. There have been cases of spontaneous human combustion in history. She had seen it in 100,000 Whys before. One of the unsolved mysteries of mankind is the "spontaneous human combustion phenomenon"...

Things like divine punishment sound like nonsense.

After lingering in Izu Town for two days, Gen Tamako finally had no choice but to accept reality. She temporarily determined that Mr. Tsuchiya died of spontaneous combustion. On the way, she accidentally fell into a bonfire, which eventually caused the bonfire to fall apart, leading to an accident at the party...

Of course, it's just a temporary doubt.

When she becomes a famous police officer one day, she will revisit the place and bring her own professional team back for a thorough investigation. She will definitely get to the bottom of the truth!

Before Gen Tamako and the others left, Mizutani Hiroshi interviewed Hira Sakurako and asked very detailed questions. Because Mori Kei's camera was damaged for no reason, Mizutani Hiroshi could only write down the details by hand. Gen Tamako wanted to interrupt and talk about her police career. She always wanted to be interviewed in the newspaper, but she never succeeded. Instead, Hira Sakurako was the first to unlock this achievement, which made her feel proud.

It would be even better if I could interview her at the same time.

On the way back, Yuan Yuzi kept talking about this matter. Fushimi Shika's ears were calloused from listening to her, and he was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he simply leaned back in the taxi and pretended to sleep.

"Not listening to me and refusing to communicate normally"

0.5 points are deducted.

Yuan Yuzi pouted and took out a white notebook to keep her grudge.

Because Fushimi-kun performed poorly, he now only has 0.5 points. If she deducts another 60.5 points, he will only have points.

She wasn't trying to be accommodating, she just felt that Fushimi-kun shouldn't be considered doing anything wrong by not speaking. Was it possible that Fushimi-kun was simply tired and closed his eyes and felt drowsy?

Considering his piggy habit of sleeping ten hours a day, this behavior of sleeping with his eyes closed was normal and not worth deducting a point, so she only deducted 0.5 points at her discretion.

Well, that’s right. It seems that Detective Tamako is quite fair in her work!

They took a bus back to their resort in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture. There were only two days left in the seven-day vacation. Excluding the last day of the return journey, there was actually only one day left for playing.

Yuan Yuzi finally got to eat the eel pie she had been longing for. It was a pastry containing eel extract. It had a delicate and light taste and was perfect to be enjoyed with coffee, tea or ice cream.

She thought the taste was okay, not as amazing as she had imagined, but it wasn’t a disaster either, just average.

The ice cream used to go with the eel pie was unexpectedly delicious. Gen Yuzi sat on the porch, licking it non-stop, her tender pink lips covered with ice cream liquid.

"What are your plans for today?"

She turned around and saw Fushimi Kakashi and Ping Sakurako sitting opposite each other at the table. They were tasting first-flavored bonito and sakura mochi, both of which were seasonal specialties.

"Nothing." Ping Yingzi said concisely.

Although her face was as expressionless as usual, Yuan Yuzi could feel that she seemed to be in a heavy mood and did not look happy.

Yuan Yuzi originally planned to take Sakurako out to relax and change her mood, but she suddenly remembered that when she was sad, her mother forced her to eat, which was very annoying. If she forced Sakurako to go out and play now, wouldn't she be as annoying as her mother?

But if I don’t go out to play, my travel plans will be ruined…

She didn't mind staying with Sakurako in the hotel for a day. After all, she didn't particularly want to go out. She just thought that this trip was originally intended to be alone with Fushimi-kun and to assess his performance when alone - but when she calculated carefully, the time she and Fushimi-kun spent alone seemed to be pitifully little.

"What about you?" Gen Tamako turned to look at Fushimi Shika, hoping that he could stay and take care of Sakurako together.
