Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 126 Sir, are you the one who wants to call the police?

Outside the funeral home, Matsukawa Kei, his face grim, led a group of Matsukawa family members down the street. As a famous century-old family in Osaka, when had they ever suffered such humiliation!
Even the newly emerging elites have to greet them with smiles when they see a family like theirs!

"Father, that brat named Uta Kayo must be taught a lesson, especially that Kayako, she is simply unworthy of the Matsukawa bloodline!"

"She dared to defy your will in front of so many people!"

Faced with his son's anger, Matsukawa Kei said in a gloomy tone.

"Of course I know."

Just as the two were discussing how to deal with Uta Kasyapa and his group, a group of people brushed past them.

Accustomed to others yielding, the Matsukawa family continued their reckless rampage, completely oblivious to the figure deliberately colliding with them.

"Hey! You idiots, don't you have eyes?!"

Suddenly, a carefree and unpleasant curse came from the other side. Before Matsukawa Kei could react, the Matsukawa family members were already fighting with the other party.

Moreover, the people on the other side were prepared. As soon as the conflict started, they pulled out weapons such as iron bars and baseball bats from their lower backs or trouser legs and started beating the Matsukawa family members.

The weapons used by these people easily reveal their identities; they could only be members of the Yakuza.

Having reached this conclusion, Matsukawa Kazekage roared in a fierce and resolute manner.

"Stop! Stop! Do you even know who we are?! Aren't you yakuza members afraid of getting your organization into trouble and being targeted by the police?!"

Miyagawa Hayashi, who was standing not far away with a cigarette in his mouth, was taken aback when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said.

"Should I call the police for you?"

"you!"

After a brief exchange with Matsukawa Kei, Miyagawa chuckled with his hands in his pockets, then his expression suddenly turned grim.

"We did it on purpose~ Baka yarou!!"

After angrily cursing, Miyagawa spat out the cigarette from his mouth, grabbed a wooden stick, and rushed over.

"Ignore that old man. It'll be a real problem if he gets accidentally killed. As for the others, beat them to death if you can't kill them!"

"Stop hitting me, my hand!"

"Ah! Wait, I didn't!"

"Don't fucking hit your heads, you idiots! Hit your butts and backs!"

In the chaos, Matsukawa Kei was shoved to the ground by the enraged Miyagawa, and could only watch helplessly as his clansmen were pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by his men.

Boom, boom, boom!
The sounds of wooden sticks colliding with flesh continued, accompanied by the cries of the Matsukawa tribesmen. Matsukawa Kei shakily got up from the ground, picked up his phone, and began calling the police.

"Call the police! I'm calling the police right now! You bastards, just you wait!"

Amidst Matsukawa Kei's furious roar, Asahi Toshifuku, who had been standing by watching the show, blinked and walked over with his two subordinates, a strange smile in his eyes.

Upon reaching Matsukawa Kei, Asahi Toshifuku shook his chin, signaling his subordinate to produce his identification.

"Sir, are you the one who wants to call the police?"

Matsukawa Kei stood up angrily, pointing at Miyagawa and the others who were still beating their own people.

"These yakuza members are currently injuring people with weapons. We must capture them and punish them severely!"

Upon seeing this, Tomorrow Junbok nodded solemnly with his arms crossed.

"Yes, they should be severely punished. It's too embarrassing to do this in broad daylight."

"That's right, I'll call the police station to let them know."

"Yes, yes, there was a conflict between residents at the funeral home. Yes, we and the tomorrow police have brought the situation under control. Yes, you don't need to worry about the emergency calls here anymore."

After the conversation ended, Matsukawa Kei stared at the three men—Akihitoshi, Toshifuku, and the other man—in shock and anger as he watched the policeman hang up the phone.

"Yes, we have accepted your report. Is there anything else?"

After saying this flippantly, Toshifumi Asahi suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hey, Miyagawa, is being a thug this fun?"

"That's right! Stop hitting that one, he's already twitching, let's switch to another one!"

Enraged, Matsukawa Kei couldn't catch his breath, clutched his chest, and collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.

This was something that Asahi Toshifuku and the others hadn't expected. Just as they were about to rush forward to check, Inoue Izumi's voice suddenly came.

"Let my personal doctor take a look; he's experienced in dealing with old guys like me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Inoue Izumi's private doctor immediately conducted a series of observations and rescues on Matsukawa Kei, who was lying on the ground, and then left him to lie there.

"It's nothing, I was just pretending."

"Oh~"

Upon hearing this, Asahi Shunfu continued to look at the scene of the beating and chatted with Inoue Izumi, who had come to watch the show from the sidelines.

"I thought the old patriarch would be sitting inside."

"Why are you sitting here? I came here because of the three young people. Now that they're in this state, what am I, an old man, supposed to do here?"

After a moment of reflection, Asahi Toshifuku looked at Matsukawa Kei, who was angrily standing up from the ground when no one paid any attention to him.

Matsukawa Kei seemed to recognize him, his expression full of surprise.

“Head of the Inoue family!? I am Matsukawa Kei of the Matsukawa family. Our Matsukawa family is also a member of the Kujii Association!” Inoue Izumi, who had his hands behind his back, frowned slightly upon hearing this, turned his head to look at him for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"Oh, you're not anymore."

Inoue Izumi's words dealt a heavy blow to Matsukawa Kei, making the once high-spirited and arrogant old man seem as if his spine had been ripped out, and he staggered back a few steps.

A few minutes later, everyone in the Matsukawa family except for Matsukawa Kei was lying on the ground.

After greeting his underlings, Miyagawa Shoshu jogged over to Inoue Izumi and the others, and respectfully handed out cigarettes to each of them.

"I don't need it. I'm too old. I'll live a few more years if I eat less."

Upon hearing this, Miyagawa Shoshu smiled, nodded, and bowed as he put away his cigarette.

"Your name is Miyagawa Shoshu, right?"

Hi! Please remember my name!

Inoue Izumi nodded.

“Those who labor with their minds govern others; those who labor with their bodies are governed by others. Give him a business card from the Third Prince.”

"Yes."

Miyagawa Sayo was flattered and accepted the business card, while Inoue Izumi patted him on the shoulder.

"well done."

After offering a word of encouragement, Inoue Izumi slowly walked into the funeral home.

Asahi Junfu chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, leaning closer as he spoke.

"I feel like you're on the verge of a promotion."

"Not at all, it's all thanks to the help of my older brothers."

Miyagawa Sayo smiled modestly, not to mention that Toshifumi had already been promoted, even if he hadn't, it would still be easy to find fault with him.

After a brief chat with Miyagawa Shoshu, Inoue Izumi, accompanied by her doctor, headed towards the mourning hall.

On the way back, the assistant who had been talking on the phone with someone else quickly ran to Inoue Izumi's side and whispered something.

"My lord, the background and clan ties of the Matsukawa family have been thoroughly investigated. What's the next step?"

Inoue Izumi stood some distance from the entrance of the mourning hall, rubbing the corner of his eye.

"When people get old, they can't bear to see scenes of suffering, and they always feel a tightness in their chest. Miss Jiayezi has already become a member of the U-family, so let the Matsukawa family experience Miss Jiayezi's childhood experience of being a homeless child."

The assistant pursed his lips upon hearing this.

"Aren't we going to get rid of a group of people?"

Inoue Izumi put the handkerchief back in his pocket and pondered for a moment.

"Blood ties are a troublesome thing. Although they don't mean much, you can't just abandon them. This has nothing to do with feelings, but with human social ethics."

"For the Matsukawa family, a so-called old aristocracy who are used to being arrogant and superior, losing their power and becoming commoners is more painful than killing them."

After saying this, Inoue Izumi was about to lift her foot when she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, we must make sure they can't bother Miss Jiayezi anymore."

"understand!"

At the entrance of the funeral home, Asahi Toshifuku and Miyagawa Shoshu stood together, and Miyagawa Shoshu familiarly lit a cigarette for him.

"Don't get any heroin, that stuff is untreatable if something goes wrong."

"Don't worry, that stuff is profitable, but it's also risky. There are better ways, why would I get involved in that?"

"Is there someone knowledgeable who can offer guidance?"

Miyagawa Sayo shook his head and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"No, it's just that after hearing what happened in the funeral hall, I simply felt sorry for Miss Jia Yezi and wanted to do something for her."

"Even though I'm a bastard, I still had parents and family when I was a kid. No matter how badly they beat me, at least they wouldn't make me go out and pick up trash or not let me eat a single bite of leftovers!"

Upon hearing this, Toshifuku fell silent for a moment.

"It's a pity that you don't need to take an exam to become a parent."

"Ugh"

At the funeral home, Jia Yezi leaned against Yutaka Yoko's chest, occasionally twitching, while Fu Jiang patiently stayed by her side, stroking her back.

After confirming several times that Jia Yezi's condition was stable and wouldn't cause the surroundings to become gloomy like before, she coldly led Yoshimura Hanako out of the funeral home, intending to chase after them and teach the Matsukawa family a lesson.

But when she came outside, she saw Asahi Toshifuku and Miyagawa Hayashisa standing together, pointing and gesturing at the Matsukawa family members who were being taken away in an ambulance.

"This is."

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just annoyed, so I beat them up. They're still here. Some of them are pretty resilient. Do you and Ms. Yoshimura want to join in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Asahi Toshifuku saw the brass knuckles on Yoshimura Hanako's hand.

"Let's forget it. Beating someone up is one thing, but killing them wouldn't be fun."
