Tokyo Detective

Chapter 301 If she catches you, you'll die (Long Chapter)
At 9 p.m., Yamada Yamato and Fujiwara Mai returned, as the couple they were following entered a love hotel.

When they first met, the two subordinates looked at Naoki Hanyu with a strange expression, just like the other subordinates.

Naoki Hanyu expressionlessly ruffled Mai Fujiwara's long hair. He thought to himself that his apprentice's hair was already past her shoulders; it was beautiful, but not suitable for high-intensity case handling.

"Mai has been doing quite well these past few days."

"Seriously, senior, don't mess up my hair."

Fujiwara Mai glared angrily at her despicable senior, wondering if she couldn't just rub her cheeks against Yamada Yamato standing next to her.

If Naoki Hanyu knew, he would definitely say that Yamada Yamato's hair is so oily that you have to wash your hands if you touch it.

Seiko Akimoto interrupted.

"Let's chat after we finish the task."

"Yes, yes, I'll go book a room now."

Naoki Hanyu went into the hotel and booked two adjacent rooms for eavesdropping.

In the house on the left, a machine transmitted the faint sounds of conversation from the next room. This was a high-sensitivity directional microphone that reconstructed the conversation by capturing wall vibrations or weak sound waves. Of course, buildings with good sound insulation would significantly reduce the success rate.

Ordinary police officers need a court application to use this thing, but the First Investigation Division doesn't, which is why it serves as the flagship of the First Investigation Division.

The operation was simple: follow and stalk the target, arrest them immediately if they broke the law, and then interrogate them about other important matters.

The hotel was surrounded by a group of people, including Mai Fujiwara and Yamato Yamada, in the house on the right. Therefore, it was a bad decision for the suspect to enter the hotel.

Taking the opportunity, Naoki Hanyu put his arm around Seiko Akimoto, who was dressed in a casual dress. Today, she looked less sharp and more innocent.

"How have you been while I was away?"

"Of course it's bad. When someone isn't around, I'm busy with so many things. I had to work overtime for five days straight to barely manage. Luckily, the deputy section chief is back from his vacation, and the higher-ups have arranged for two section chiefs to assist him."

"I never expected this to happen."

Seiko Akimoto slapped away the hand that was brazenly touching her chest.

"What's going on with Jingu Mitsuha?"

"She and I are just ordinary friends. It's just the regional affairs advisor talking nonsense, so don't overthink it."

Akimoto Seiko carefully observed the man's indifferent gaze. She couldn't tell if he was genuine or not. After all, he was someone she had trained. Not only was he familiar with her methods of observation, but his acting skills were also quite good. What a despicable, rebellious disciple.

"Okay, I believe you on that point, but I think you're hiding something more important from me, such as whether you've really been cultivating in the Fenggu region for the past ten days or so?"

"Of course."

"Can you guarantee that you really have absolutely no connection to the downfall of the Hanks family?"

"."

Akimoto Seiko suddenly changed her usual demeanor and revealed a sorrowful expression; this was another of her tactics.

“I keep everything to myself and don’t say anything, which makes me feel like an outsider.”

Naoki Hanyu was well aware that Seiko Akimoto was putting on an act, but she was right; this would create a rift in their relationship. Perhaps it would be better to pick a couple of things to talk about.

"Okay, I'll share the secret with you."

Before Naoki Hanyu could finish speaking, Seiko Akimoto stopped him with her finger.

"That's enough. I just need to know that you're willing to share the secret. There's no need to go on."

Originally, Akimoto Seiko hadn't intended to inquire, but she thought she could choose not to listen, rather than her boyfriend not wanting to tell her.

As her husband and an elite police officer, how could she not notice the slightest oddities in Naoki Hanyu's life? She simply chose not to dwell on it. Since Naoki Hanyu wouldn't tell her, knowing the secret might not be a good thing for either her or the man in front of her.

The atmosphere in the room returned to normal.

Seiko Akimoto touched Naoki Hanyu's face and said calmly.

"It's been a long time since we went on a mission together."

"Yes, it's been over a year. Actually, I didn't really like going on missions with you before, and we suffered a lot."

"I can understand. After all, you're too lazy in some ways. How can you grow quickly if you're not pushed?"

Naoki Hanyu rolled his eyes at Seiko Akimoto.

Seiko Akimoto wore a smile that radiated maternal warmth.

"At first, I really expected you to gradually become an excellent police officer. And it turned out that you surpassed me in the blink of an eye and are now my superior. It's really ironic how things work out."

"Big sister, could you please stop laughing like that? It's scary."
.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Fujiwara Mai and Yamada Yamato were dutifully keeping watch.

Yamada Yamato glanced at Fujiwara Mai in her short-sleeved dress; she was very competent, but his heart was in turmoil.

In this room, under these circumstances, it feels like even breathing could lead to a sexual harassment charge. What's wrong with female police officers? Even for work, they can't just go into a love hotel with their colleagues.

"If I have a daughter in the future, I will never let her become a police officer."

The faint sound made Fujiwara Mai turn around and look at her colleague.

"Yamada, what did you say?"

"nothing."

Shortly afterward, frantic noises came from the next room, sounding like someone was on drugs and going into a frenzy.

Seiko Akimoto made a phone call to get her people on board moving.

The hotel manager opened the door, and the police rushed in and arrested two disheveled individuals.

In the office of the First Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Naoki Hanyu met Kenta Sawaguchi, the deputy division chief he had only met a few times. Sawaguchi was a middle-aged man who gave off a very serious vibe.

The elderly policeman first saluted Naoki Hanyu, then asked a question.

"Section Chief Yuzuru, weren't you on vacation today? What brings you to headquarters?"

This guy's words were full of veiled sarcasm, and Naoki Hanyu was even more curious as to why Kenta Sawaguchi would offend him, who was his direct superior. Wasn't he afraid of being retaliated against in the future?
"Deputy Section Chief Sawaguchi, are you taking people from the 5th Division to investigate a case?"

The 5th Department can be considered Kenta Sawaguchi's direct subordinate. He was the head of the 5th Department and the current head of the 5th Department is also his apprentice. There are also many people in the 5th Department who were trained by him back then.

"I just received a call from the police that someone has died under mysterious circumstances, one of the causes of death being corneal dissolution."

Dissolving the cornea?

If Naoki Hanyu remembers correctly, corneal dissolution usually only causes blindness. What diseases can cause corneal dissolution and even death?
"Tell me about the case."

Although Kenta Sawaguchi didn't want to pay attention to the young man in front of him, he had no choice but to describe the case process since the other party was his superior.

"This is the third case of death caused by corneal dissolution. The bodies in the first two cases were found to be infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection does not usually kill a person so quickly. Moreover, according to witness testimonies, the deceased's eyes were intact and uninjured or inflamed just hours before the death. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that it was a deliberate homicide."

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative conditional pathogen that can produce blue-green pus when infecting wounds. It has a very strong survival ability and its optimal growth temperature is 30 to 40°C, which is just right now in autumn.

Generally, corneal dissolution is caused by eye infection, large-area injury to the eye, or accidental contact with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. While Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection can indeed be fatal, the process is very slow.

"I see. Then I'll leave the case to you."

Kenta Sawaguchi was taken aback. He had been prepared for the section chief to take the case away from him after he told him about it. After all, it was a serial murder case, and solving it would be a great achievement.

Naoki Hanyu patted Kenta Sawaguchi on the shoulder.

"I'll help you get credit after you solve the case."

"I will."

As Kenta Sawaguchi saw that the other person didn't seem to be faking it, his impression of them began to change.

He had just returned from his holiday and found the department in complete disarray. Upon inquiring, he learned that the department head had taken more than 10 days off in just 10 days since taking office, and there were no clerks to assist him or help with the overall situation, which was why the department was in such chaos.

Because of this incident, Kenta Sawaguchi had a very bad impression of his new boss. He had taken his section chief position but didn't do his job properly. What kind of person was he? A fraudulent and deceitful fellow.

It doesn't seem too bad now, let's observe it further.

"In that case, I'll go and get back to work."

Naoki Hanyu witnessed Kenta Sawaguchi leaving with more than 10 detectives. Not only did he not want to take credit, he also wanted to truly recruit Kenta Sawaguchi and the Five Elements Police Force to his own side.

"Don't continue your vacation tomorrow, come back to work as soon as possible."

Next, Seiko Akimoto's faction was busy interrogating criminals and collecting evidence, so Naoki Hanyu had to go to Saki Toyokawa's bar alone, where he happened to meet his childhood friend who had just finished get off work and was drinking.

There were only 5 customers in the entire Japanese-style bar. Besides Saki Toyokawa, there were two other bartenders. One of them was a high school student bartender whom I had met once before, but she should have graduated from high school now. I don't know her name.

Upon seeing her childhood friend appear, Kudo Asuka quickly took Hanyu Naoki's arm and sat down, revealing a happy and beaming expression.

"Naoki, it's been more than half a month since we last saw each other. What would you like to drink today? It's on me."

Naoki Hanyu felt his arm touch something soft and became even more curious about why this silly girl seemed so happy.

"Has something good happened?"

"Hehe, guess."

"Have you found a boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Asuka Kudo's expression froze.

"Not yet, keep guessing."

"You won the bet?"

"No." "You found money? If so, you should hand it over to the police."

"It's not like I found money."

Naoki Hanyu guessed a few wrong, then looked at Saki Toyokawa, who was also in a good mood. As good friends, they should know.

So Saki Toyokawa took out a magazine and handed it to the man.

Tokyo Calendar, a famous food magazine in Tokyo and even nationwide, features 20 restaurants in each issue. The three must-read columns are the best spots and are proof of the chefs' skills.

Naoki Hanyu already has a general idea, because the cover features Asuka Kudo.

Dressed in a white chef's uniform, with an ethereal yet aloof expression, smooth and delicate skin, and a tall and voluptuous figure, she was undoubtedly a stunningly beautiful mixed-race woman.

"A mixed-race beauty chef, she is a rising star in the culinary world, and her signature main dish is XXXX."

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the photo and then at himself. This is him, doesn't it?

"The photo editing is too excessive."

Upon hearing this, Asuka Kudo became unhappy and angrily punched her despicable childhood friend repeatedly.

"What's so serious about it? I've always looked like this. Am I not good-looking?"

"She's pretty, but her temperament doesn't match."

The three chatted and laughed, and then, in order not to disturb other guests, they went to the VIP room to continue their conversation. As they were talking, Kudo Asuka suddenly mentioned a story.

Have you heard of the latest urban legends online?

Naoki Hanyu downed the drink in one gulp.

"I didn't hear that."

"I've heard that if you hear the name of a female ghost, she will come and kill you within the next few days. The cause of death is that your eyes will explode. As for the name of the female ghost, I think it's Black Maple."

Kudo Asuka immediately retorted.

"It's not called Hei Feng. The original author never released the real name. His story stopped updating when the female ghost's name was about to be revealed. No matter how much others urged him, there was no response. I've read his original text, and the writing style really gives you a sense of being there. That's why it became popular through fan-made works."

"I was actually watching a fan-made video."

Eyes exploded?

Naoki Hanyu had recently heard of a similar case, which piqued his curiosity.

"What else will happen besides their eyes exploding?"

"I heard that it can also cause blue-green thick fluid to come out of the ears and nose, which is disgusting."

Blue-green concentrated liquid?
Naoki Hanyu took out his phone and searched online, then froze.

A blue-green discharge from the ear is a symptom of an ear infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Naoki Hanyu's first thought wasn't that there was a real ghost at work, but rather that the author of the story might be related to the case, and there was even a very small chance that they might be the murderer. Of course, it was also very likely a coincidence. He would check it out again when he went to work tomorrow.

"Asuka, could you send me the original URL?"

"Naoki, so you're interested in ghost stories too."

I'm not interested, but I've personally witnessed and killed them.
.
It was almost midnight, and all the other employees went home, leaving only three people in the store.

Naoki Hanyu was speechless as he looked at the two drunken women in front of him. Why was it always his turn to clean up? He was really fed up with these people. It seemed that not being able to get drunk wasn't such a good thing after all.

Naoki Hanyu took out several bags from the storage room and tidied up the leftover food on the table. He packed up the food that could be eaten tomorrow to take away, and threw the rest into the trash bags, otherwise it would smell bad when the store opened tomorrow, which would affect Saki Toyokawa's business.

Next, we took the two women home. Kudo Asuka's house was closer, so we took her first.

Naoki Hanyu, finding it troublesome, simply carried Asuka Kudo on his back. It was a bit heavy and soft; I never imagined it would weigh 65 kilograms.

As he walked, a slight squeezing sensation near his ear made him stop. It was Kudo Asuka biting his earlobe.

He dared not let Kudo Asuka's father see this, so he changed his mind and started helping before ringing the bell.

"Ding dong."

The doorbell rang but there was no response. Seeing this, Naoki Yuzuru shook the drunken woman.

"Asuka, where are your keys? Uncle is probably fast asleep."

Kudo Asuka said, puzzled.

"My father is not home today. My key, my key is in my pocket."

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the pocket of the shapely shorts, then reached in and rummaged around. Although it felt nice, there was no key. He then rummaged through the other pocket, but still found nothing.

Well, either I forgot it in the car or I don't know where it is. Oh well, I'll just stay at the Toyokawa house.

Suddenly, a pair of delicate arms wrapped around his neck, and Kudo Asuka opened her hazy eyes and looked at him.

"Naoki, I like him. I liked him back in middle school, and I like him even more now."

The pink tongue licking his neck startled Naoki Hanyu, and then the sensation moved upwards to seal his lips. A few seconds later, Naoki Hanyu pushed Asuka Kudo away, only to see the drunk girl lying on the ground vomiting, a colorful mess, and a foul stench spreading out.

That was close, I almost got infected.

Naoki Hanyu still felt lingering fear when he thought of that scene, so he quickly led his men away. As for the drunkard's talk of liking him, he decided to just listen to it.

The Toyokawa family home is a detached house in Shinjuku Ward, with a property value approaching 1 million yen.

As soon as Naoki Hanyu opened the door and carried the two women inside, two silver-haired "lolis" appeared in front of him.

That's right, it's the silver-haired little girl, 10 years old, with the same long hair, wearing the same loose pajamas, and with the same beautiful face. She will definitely be no less beautiful than their older sister when she grows up.

"Brother Yuzuru, is my sister drunk again?"

"Asuka-neechan also got drunk today."

Well, even their voices were so clear and soft that Naoki Hanyu couldn't tell which one was the boy, Risuke Toyokawa, and which one was the girl, Sana Toyokawa.

"Which one of you is Risuke, and which one is Sana?"

The loli, with an even clearer voice, raised her hand.

"I am Risuke."

"I am Sana."

"."

Naoki Hanyu shook his head, trying to console himself by saying that Saki hadn't developed yet. Boys typically start developing between 10 and 12 years old, so it's not surprising that they look more delicate before puberty; things will change after they develop.

"I'll settle your sister in first."

Take off the clothes stained with vomit and put on clean clothes.

It's easier to take action against Toyokawa Saki, given their relationship.

It was difficult to do anything with the filthy Kudo Asuka, though. Changing her clothes wouldn't be right, but leaving them on with the ripped fabric showing was also unacceptable.

In the end, only the underwear was left; the short-sleeved shirt and shorts were changed.

Kudo Asuka's voluptuous figure caught Hanyu Naoki's eye a few more times; she really was quite voluptuous.
.
When Naoki Hanyu finished packing up and was about to leave after 20 minutes, he was stopped by two little girls, each holding a storybook.

"Brother, we can't sleep and want to hear a story."

tell a story?
How could Naoki Hanyu refuse the two little ones clinging to his legs? So he quickly took a shower to get rid of the smell of alcohol and started telling stories.

As the three talked, Naoki gradually learned about the personalities and lives of the silver-haired twins. Just as he had expected, they were indeed popular figures at school. After all, twins are exactly alike, and their combination of cuteness, beauty, and silver hair makes them very popular.

"Toyokawa Risuke asked softly."

"Brother, can I ask you a question? A good friend of mine confessed his feelings to me. How can I reject him but still remain friends? He confessed to my sister before and was rejected. This time, he said he wouldn't play with me if I rejected him."

Sana Toyokawa, standing to the side, said angrily.

"Hmph, Risuke, these despicable guys shouldn't be playing with us. They actually want to date us siblings. My sister has always said that no man is a good person."

"."

Naoki Hanyu was speechless. How could he answer? He had never thought about this kind of childhood trouble, whether it was because he was too busy studying in his previous life or because he didn't have such problems in this life.

And although Risuke is a boy, he will become a man sooner or later.

"The way to deal with a scumbag is to defeat him."

As Naoki Hanyu said this, he couldn't help but think of himself, wondering if any woman would ever treat him like that.

In Tokyo under the cover of night, Kenta Sawaguchi from the First Investigative Division and two of his men visit a young woman, Suzu Uehara, who is somehow connected to the three dead men.

Kenta Sawaguchi asked seriously.

"Ms. Uehara, you said you roughly know who the murderer is?"

Uehara Rin nodded with a hint of fear on her face.

"Yes, that guy is probably here."

"That guy, could you explain it in more detail?"

"A woman with big eyes, if you get caught by her, you'll die."
