Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 435 Drunkard Attack
Meanwhile, downstairs at the Sugamo apartment building.

Yuan Yuzi took the two elementary school students out, and as they went downstairs, she asked for their home address.

She originally wanted to take a taxi there, but Mai said she had already called and the butler was on his way... That's right, she usually has a butler to pick her up and drop her off.

Yuan Yuzi then brought up Fumi Shika's suggestion again, as the latter had once wanted to buy a car to pick up and drop off Ping Yingzi at school. However, both of them were short of money, their salaries barely enough to cover living expenses, and they simply couldn't afford a car, so the matter was ultimately dropped.

The three people, one adult and two children, stood on the side of the street, waiting for the housekeeper to come and pick them up.

There were few pedestrians on the street today; looking around, it seemed like there were only the three of them.

The streetlights cast a dim, slanted glow on Mai, making her look like a crystal-clear porcelain doll. Gen Tamako stood behind her, stealing glances at her, finding her increasingly adorable.

Mai, being sensitive, noticed Minamoto Tamako's gaze. Thinking that Tamako-neechan was tired from standing, she quickly took out a wet wipe from her small backpack, wiped the bench by the roadside, and said in a soft voice, "Tamako-neechan, sit down and rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Genko's maternal instincts kicked in. She patted Mai's head, sat down with a smile, and thought to herself, "Mai is such a good child. I wish I had a child like her..."

Thinking of this, Minamoto no Tamako suddenly thought of Hirai Sakurako.

Raising Yingzi alone was already a struggle for her, let alone the fact that Yingzi was already seven years old when she came into the family. She was usually quiet and didn't cause any trouble, so there were no expenses for infants or toddlers. She should have been able to take care of her... But now, Yingzi has to walk to school, and the family doesn't even have a car.

Moreover, when she took Yingzi to school, she noticed that the other students all arrived by car. It seemed that the children who could attend Shiye Elementary School came from families that were at least middle-class or above.

At first, Minamoto no Tamako was worried that Sakurako would be ostracized by her classmates at school. Fortunately, that didn't happen, and while she felt relieved, she also felt even more guilty.

If she and Fushimi-kun had a child, would she be able to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother?
Yuan Yuzi calculated the expenses and felt that she might not be a good mother; she then turned to look at Mai, whose clothes were all brand-name, and whose little face was delicate and beautiful, probably needing to apply perfume every day...

She shook her head, realizing she was thinking too far ahead.

Although she doesn't have much money right now, once she becomes a police inspector, her salary will increase. Even if she doesn't become rich, she'll definitely have more than enough to support two children.

Besides, she and Fushimi-kun haven't even reached the point of having children yet!

Thinking of this, Minamoto no Tamako recalled the impending death of Fushimi-kun, and she couldn't help but sigh deeply, her brows furrowing as she fell into even deeper distress.

Forget about having children, she doesn't even know if she has a future with Fushimi-kun.

Mai stretched out her small hand and pressed the '川' character between Minamoto Tamako's eyebrows with her finger, and asked softly, "Why is Tamako-neechan unhappy?"

"No... I'm just a little tired." Minamoto no Tamako didn't want the child to worry about her.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you so much, Tamako-neechan. We'll definitely be home before curfew next time..." After saying that, Mai took out half a chocolate wrapped in tin foil from her pocket, carefully opened it, and handed it to Minamoto Tamako: "Eating chocolate will make you feel better, sister."

It's clear that she didn't want to eat the chocolate; she secretly kept it for herself.

Tamako's heart melted; she thought human babies were truly the cutest creatures in the world. Unable to bear taking what she loved away, she pushed the chocolate back to Mai, letting her eat it herself. Mai, however, felt her sister really needed the chocolate and insisted on making Tamako happy.

After the two of them hesitated for a while, just as Gen Tamako was about to reluctantly accept, a loud "woof" came from beside her. Mayu had eaten the chocolate from Mai's hand in one bite.

"..."

"..."

"Chew, chew, chew... Ya mi ya mi~"

Seeing that both of them were staring at her, Mayu said innocently, "What? Didn't you both say you didn't want them?"

Mai's little face puffed up, her eyes gradually reddened and filled with tears. She pouted, as if tears were about to fall: "That...that was for Sister Yuzi..."

"She doesn't want it, so I'll give it to her." Mayu had a bad feeling. She tilted her head and looked Mai up and down: "You're not going to cry, are you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mai covered her eyes with the back of her hand and began to sob softly, "Waaaaaah... You stole my chocolate... Waaaaah..."

Mayu panicked and quickly spat out the half-chewed chocolate into her hand, handing it to Mai to indicate that she wouldn't eat it anymore and that Mai shouldn't cry.

Mai looked down and saw that Mayu's little hand looked like it was holding a puddle of runny poop, and she immediately cried even louder.

Gen Tamako quickly comforted her and also criticized Mayu for taking her friend's chocolate.

Mayu was also unhappy. She muttered to herself, "I thought she didn't want it... I can just buy her another one."

Mai cried as she spoke, "Waaah... That... that's chocolate my dad brought from America... Waaah... You can't buy it in Japan..."

Yuan Yuzi felt sorry for Mai. Her father had bought her chocolate, which Mai couldn't bear to eat herself, but she had shared it with herself... She turned to look at Mayu, who was wiping chocolate on herself, her school uniform covered in a large patch of brownish-black unidentified semi-solid liquid.

"Foreign chocolates are amazing! You can't even wipe them clean!" Mayu exclaimed, looking at her little hands in amazement.

"..."

Yuan Yuzi suddenly realized that not all human babies are little angels.

She knelt down and wiped Mai's tears, trying her best to comfort her; then she took Mayu to a convenience store, bought a bottle of mineral water, laundry detergent and wet wipes, and roughly cleaned the chocolate off her body.

After Yuan Yuzi finished her work and temporarily settled the two little brats, the butler who was responsible for picking them up and dropping them off finally arrived late.

Mayu and Mai's parents were old friends, so Mai's butler would take Mayu back home on the way.

"Thank you very much, Miss Tamako, for taking care of my lady."

After getting out of the car, the butler first bowed slightly to Yuan Yuzi to express his gratitude, and then took Mai's small hand and helped her into the car.

Mayu followed closely behind, very outgoing, hopping and skipping into the back seat of the car, and waving to Tamako through the window: "Bye-bye, Tamako-neechan! See you tomorrow!"

Seeing them about to leave, Yuan Yuzi felt a strange sense of loneliness, and even Mayu seemed more agreeable to her now. She waved and said with a smile, "Bye-bye." The butler bowed again, got into the car, closed the door, turned the key, started the engine, and prepared to drive away.

The streetlights flickered for a few seconds, then suddenly went out.

Since the bursting of the financial bubble, municipal engineering has plummeted. In the Nishi-Sugamo neighborhood, all the streetlights are out, either damaged or due to wiring faults. In the Higashi-Sugamo area, where the security is slightly better, the streetlights turn on at dusk but go out later. Residents have reported this several times, but the response has always been "under repair." The next second, car headlights come on.

The butler turned on the high beams, and two beams of light stretched across the street.

A long shadow stretched across the road. Through the car window, the butler saw a man standing in the middle of the road, blocking the way.

He honked the horn, but there was no response.

He looked like a drunk office worker, after all, he was wearing a suit, carrying a briefcase, with his head down, and walking unsteadily.

The butler planned to go around it, and just as he turned the steering wheel, he saw that the man also turned the steering wheel and continued to block the car.

"What's up with him?"

Mai was a little scared, with tear stains on her face. She leaned on the front seat and peered out at the front of the car.

Mayu also felt that this man was abnormal. She thought of the skeleton soldiers in the cartoon and scared Mai by saying that this man was sent by the messenger of hell to kidnap children who love chocolate. She had only eaten chocolate to save Mai.

"Really?" Mai looked up at the butler.

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll take care of it."

The butler spoke with a reliable tone, but he did not get out of the car. Instead, he prepared to call the police station and ask them to contact the Sugamo Station Police Station to send patrol officers to drive away the drunkard.

As the butler, he couldn't get out of the car to argue with the drunkard himself, otherwise it would damage the head of the family's reputation; if the young lady saw it, it wouldn't be good either... Since a phone call could solve the problem, there was no need to do it personally.

Before he could even dial the number, Mai couldn't help but exclaim, "He...he's here...what do we do?"

"It's nothing, they were probably just passing by..."

Before the butler could finish speaking, a handprint appeared on the car window with a loud slap.

The three of them turned around at the same time. The man kept pounding on the window with his hands, and a terrifying howl came from his chest. Mai and Mayu screamed loudly in fright and hugged each other, trembling.

The butler couldn't stand it any longer. The patrol officers would probably take a while to arrive, and he couldn't let Miss Mai be frightened. This wasn't the time for politeness. He pushed open the car door and snapped, "Step back!"

The man lunged forward, ready to fight; the butler lowered his waist and swung his fist, intending to knock the man awake, but he missed. The man's lunging motion came to an abrupt halt, and he even staggered back two steps.

At the critical moment, Yuan Yuzi arrived. She reached out and locked the man's shoulders from behind, repeatedly urging him, "Don't fight, don't fight!"

After Mai and Mayu got into the car, Minamoto Tamako stood at the back of the car and couldn't see the man standing at the front. The butler tried to turn the car around, and she thought the car was about to leave, so she turned back and went into Sugamo Apartments. While waiting for the elevator, she heard the sound of knocking on the car window, so she went out of the apartment to take a look and found a man stopping the car. She quickly ran over to stop him.

However, the man was stronger than she had imagined.

The guy suddenly slammed backward, his arm swinging forcefully. Yuan Yuzi felt a tremendous force strike her, her vision blurred, and she fell flat on her back, her buttocks hurting as if they had been split into four pieces.

Damn that guy!
Yuan Yuzi cried out "Ouch!" and rubbed her buttocks, unable to get up for a moment. She felt numbness in both legs, probably because she had injured her coccyx.

The butler and the drunkard were fighting. The butler moved with skill and technique, dodging back and forth with butterfly steps, and punching the drunkard hard. He seemed to have boxing training. The drunkard, on the other hand, was just reckless. He didn't run away after being hit. He seemed to be unaware of pain and continued to pounce on the drunkard with bared teeth and claws.

The patrolman who was supposed to be on duty at Sugamo Station finally arrived late. He rode his bicycle, blew his whistle loudly, and shouted, "Stop!"

The butler took a step back, trying to stop, but the drunkard persisted, so he had no choice but to continue beating the drunkard.

"I told you to stop!"

The patrol officer slammed on the brakes and yanked the butler away. Instead of scolding the drunkard, he yelled at the butler, "If you keep hitting him, he'll die!"

"He was the one who banged on the car window to provoke us first..."

Before the butler could explain, the patrol officer interrupted, "Is he not sober, and you're not sober either? I think you rich people are used to throwing your weight around... So what if he banged on the car window? Did it damage your car? As for hitting someone—ah!!!"

The drunk man lunged at the patrol officer and bit him on the cheek!

The latter screamed and brandished his baton, trying to get the drunk man to release his grip. But no matter how much he struck him with the baton, the drunk man showed no sign of yielding.

The butler stood by with his arms crossed, watching the show; Yuan Yuzi wanted to help, but she couldn't stand up, so she could only lie on the ground, stretching out her Erkang-like hand and repeatedly shouting, "Stop hitting her!"

At first, everyone thought the drunkard had only taken a bite; but as the police officers' screams grew louder and blood began to seep from the drunkard's teeth, they finally realized something was wrong.

Unable to continue watching the show, the butler immediately got into the car, blocked Mai and Mayu's eyes, and made them cover each other's ears.

Even so, the piercing scream still pierced through the palm and echoed continuously in the night sky.

The drunkard actually bit off a piece of the patrolman's face!
He chewed hard, making smacking noises, and meat scraps and blood leaked out of his mouth; after chewing four or five times, he actually swallowed the piece of meat!

The patrolman's eyes widened in terror. He was terrified and slumped to the ground, pulling out his pistol from his waist and pointing it at the drunk man, roaring, "Don't, don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll shoot!"

Unexpectedly, the drunkard ignored him. He swallowed the flesh and lunged at the patrolman again, who hastily fired a shot—a rubber bullet—that struck the drunkard in the chest. But the man seemed oblivious to the pain, not flinching, but instead pinning the patrolman down and continuing to bite at his face.

The patrolman was in so much pain he was almost unconscious. His hands trembled as he pressed against the drunkard's body and fired four shots, emptying the magazine.

There are two blank rounds in the magazine, so the patrolman's sidearm only has three live rounds.

The drunkard had three bloody holes in his abdomen. He had completely lost his mind. Even with his intestines spilling out, he still bit the patrolman tightly, holding onto the patrolman's head and gnawing at it until he lost too much blood and went into shock, at which point he collapsed and stopped moving.

The patrol officer also fainted, his face disfigured beyond recognition.

Blood was everywhere on the streets. The gunshots startled the residents of Sugamo, who opened their windows to look out. In the shadows of the car headlights, the scene was incredibly gruesome.

Yuan Yuzi witnessed the whole thing. When the drunkard started biting her, she had already called for backup and then called the hospital for an ambulance.

Right now, her mind was blank; she didn't know why this man was acting so crazy.
