Tokyo Detective

Chapter 83: Meeting the Parents (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Naoki Hanyu was pulled into the house and saw a middle-aged man watching a news program in the luxuriously decorated hall. He wore glasses and looked gentle and not very strong.

The man's name is Masaharu Akimoto, the father of Seiko Akimoto. He is also the head of the Life Safety Division of the Kanagawa Ward Police Station in Yokohama City, and his police rank is Superintendent.

Akimoto Mako said enthusiastically.

"My dear, the Son has brought guests back for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Masaharu Akimoto nodded without turning his head.

"understood."

As soon as she finished speaking, Akimoto Mako slapped her husband on the head with her palm, which was extremely fierce. The woman gave him a kind reminder.

"My dear, the Holy Son has brought back a male guest. As the head of the family, shouldn't you entertain him?"

Masaharu Akimoto picked up his glasses and wiped the lenses. When he saw the customer's face clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Naoki Hanyu?"

"Hello, uncle."

Seeing that her husband knew Hanyu Naoki, Akimoto Mako gave her a look that said "you know what I mean" and directly pulled her daughter to the kitchen to help. Seeing this, Akimoto Seiko could only look at her and said "you can do it yourself". Of course, she understood what her mother meant. It was this man's bad luck.

Faced with the tyranny of his wife, Masaharu Akimoto could only deal with the young man in front of him.

"Ahem, you and Shengzi are taking the promotion exam together today, right? Are you sure?"

"Ninety percent."

"."

Wow, Masaharu Akimoto has a new understanding of the partner described by his daughter. He is really shameless. Although he is capable, he is also a troublemaker.

What the other party did was not only well-known within the Metropolitan Police Department, but also known to police stations in various cities in the Tokyo area.

"I never thought that the first male friend that Shengzi brought back would be you, Hanyu."

"I just sent the Holy Son back. I was about to leave when my aunt forcibly pulled me in."

"."

Masaharu Akimoto knew very well that his wife was definitely capable of doing this. Back then, his wife had used strong means to pursue him, and then he, a scholar who was good at writing, became a well-known henpecked husband in the police station.

I recall that when I was about to go home after get off work, I was kidnapped by a motorcycle girl and forced to date her, and then I had to passively spend a pleasant night. Others envied him for getting the policewoman, but who knew how helpless his life was.

"Since it's your aunt who invited you, just treat it as your own home and don't be polite."

"Excuse me then."

The two of them stared at each other. Akimoto Masaharu didn't know what to talk about. He thought it was too fast to talk about family background, so he could only talk about the rumors in the police circle in recent days.

"I heard that the anti-riot law and shooting guidelines are going to be revised again, from 5 articles to 3. What is wrong with this society? There were only more than 7 police shooting cases in the whole year 10 years ago. What do you think, Hanyu?"

Should I sit and watch?
"Yes, we can only blame those thugs for being too rampant. Perhaps the peaceful days in the past fueled their arrogance."

“It’s time for the National Police Agency to change.”

The two of them chatted back and forth, and they really got along well until an impatient old man's voice interrupted.

"Masaharu, you're still so dithering. Just ask directly. You probably won't be promoted to Superintendent in your lifetime."

Akimoto Masaharu, who was still talking, froze in an instant. He saw that the person who came was an old man with sword-like eyebrows and full of majesty. Although he was nearly 70 years old, his back was still very straight.

The old man's name is Akimoto Shingen, the grandfather of Akimoto Seiko. He was once the chief of the Kanagawa Ward Police Station in Yokohama City. His police rank before retirement was Superintendent Superintendent, and he was also Akimoto Mako's boss.

Masaharu Akimoto was completely helpless in the face of his father.

"Father, I'm going to ask."

"go away."

The old man sat upright and went straight to the main subject.

"Boy, you are the first man my precious granddaughter brought back, so you two are in love?"

Naoki Hanyu felt a headache when he saw the scene of meeting the parents, but he still had to follow the etiquette of visiting someone's home.

"No, just good friends."

"Have you ever kissed?"

"." Hanyu Naoki's throat was choked for a second, and then he directly denied it.

"No."

The old man slammed the table.

"It would be strange if he didn't. Don't underestimate the vision of a retired detective. I have been watching your expression the whole time. I'm sure you did. Do you dare to swear that you really didn't?"

"."

Faced with the aggressive old man, Naoki Hanyu was speechless. It was because he really took action that night.

"It was just an accident."

"You dare not admit it? My precious granddaughter has never had a boyfriend since she was a child. If you kiss the Holy Son, you will be responsible to me."

How familiar this scene is, or perhaps it is a bad habit in the police community if male and female police officers in a police station fall in love with each other.

It is not uncommon for the policewoman’s supervisor to come to the man’s house and hold him accountable.

Naoki Hanyu once saw this scene in the police station. The head of the traffic section blocked a detective and started yelling so loudly that the whole police station knew about it.

"Are you and my precious subordinates just planning to have fun? Hurry up and take responsibility for me. We'll get married next month, asshole."

Later, the two really got married. As for their life after marriage, we don’t know much about it. We only know that the senior lost his smile after getting married, which is really sad to hear.

Therefore, it is a taboo for police colleagues to fall in love, unless they are prepared to get married.

Just when Hanyu Naoki didn't know how to answer, Akimoto Seiko came in with cooked dishes, which put an end to the forced marriage.

As long as he can leave here safely today, he will never step in here again even if he is beaten to death.

At the dinner table, Akimoto Shingen did not threaten again for the sake of his reputation, but it was Akimoto Mako's turn to continue, and she tried to find out all the details of Hanyu Naoki in a roundabout way.

He is considered a wealthy man, has no relatives, is also a policeman, and is young and promising.

The more he looked at Mako Akimoto, the more he liked her. Naoki Hanyu was so scared that he typed Morse code with his eyelids, asking Seiko Akimoto to think of a solution.

It was obvious that Seiko Akimoto ignored her partner's request for help and just picked up food to eat.

What can five policemen at a table talk about? Of course, it's about law, crime, and the police.

When it came to changes in firearms regulations again, Shingen Akimoto became indignant.

"You new generation police officers are really no good. You hesitate to shoot because you are afraid of being punished. You are really bloodless. I shot and killed five thugs in one case. Hanyu, you should learn from me. Don't be timid like your uncle. He has been a policeman for more than 5 years and has never killed a single person."

"."

The whole table fell into an inexplicable silence. Hanyu Naoki wanted to explain, but the thought of talking about how many people he had killed at the table did not seem right, so he could only eat in silence.

Only Akimoto Seiko explained while helping his grandfather pick up some food.

"Hanyu has killed more than one criminal."

Upon hearing this, Akimoto Shingen immediately became interested. This kid looked very young, but he had killed more than one person.

"You are so brave, you have so many dead souls under your command."

"."

Naoki Hanyu could only answer reluctantly.

“Less than 40.”

"puff."

The old man almost spit out his food and thought he had heard it wrong. The number of people he had killed in his entire life was probably roughly this.

"How many people? How many days have you been a policeman?"

"37 people, and I've been a police officer for less than five years."

Akimoto Seiko added.

"One year and seven months, to be exact."

"."
