Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 180 Don't leave headquarters if you're okay.
When Matsuda arrived at the scene and conducted an investigation with his subordinates, his brows furrowed.

As a police officer who had some knowledge of the supernatural, after ruling out all possibilities, Matsuda naturally thought that Miyagawa Shoshu's subordinate had been killed by the supernatural.

Patting Miyagawa Shoshu on the shoulder and leading him to the door, Matsuda told Miyagawa Shoshu his guess.

"Don't joke around, Chief Matsuda. How could such things possibly exist in this world? If they did, wouldn't we bastards who have done so many bad things have already..."

Before he could finish speaking, Miyagawa Sayo looked at Matsuda's unwavering serious expression and suddenly lowered his head in silence.

"That's impossible. Although we, the Blue Hand Group, are yakuza, we never push people too far. We're not like those beasts like Kimifuji. We just want to make money; there's no reason for that."

Matsuda exhaled and pondered for a moment.

"I can only tell you that this is the situation. I don't know the specific reason why your men attracted this thing."

Miyagawa Hayashi grabbed his hair in anguish and asked weakly.

"So, what should we do about this?"

"I suggest you consult a professional."

"Professionals?"

Matsuda nodded and gave a phone number.

"This is Ms. Yoshimura's phone number. You can contact her. She's a professional in this kind of situation."

The moment the name "Fangcun" was uttered, Miyagawa Shoshu conjured up the image of that imposing, tall girl in the funeral hall.

"Um... is Ms. Yoshimura Hanako an exorcist?"

Matsuda nodded, confirming Miyagawa Shoshu's question.

"I suggest you find her as soon as possible. Generally speaking, these kinds of dirty things that can commit murders don't stop easily."

Watching Director Matsuda leave, Miyagawa Shoshu squatted dejectedly by the roadside.

"Boss, we..."

"call"

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Miyagawa Sayo said with a headache.

"The compensation should be paid out. Don't let this matter be revealed to anyone. I'll have someone handle it."

"understand!"

The next day, Yoshimura Hanako arrived at the scene after receiving a call, where Miyagawa Hayashi, who was already waiting, immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Yoshimura, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip so early in the morning."

Yoshimura Hanako nodded. She remembered Miyagawa Shoshu; she had met him when Kayako's parents passed away.

"I roughly understand the situation. Take me there to take a look."

Miyagawa Hayashi nodded repeatedly and led Yoshimura Hanako upstairs to check.

Upon entering the room, Yoshimura Hanako's eyebrows furrowed tightly. Seeing this, Miyagawa Shoshu, who was standing next to her, thought that the smell of blood was irritating her, so he quickly walked to the window to open it.

"Well, Chief Matsuda said to try not to move the scene, so the smell is indeed a bit unpleasant. I'll leave it now."

"do not move!"

Yoshimura Hanako's reprimand startled Miyagawa Shoshu. Looking at her serious expression, Miyagawa Shoshu stood there, unsure whether to stay or leave.

From Yoshimura Hanako's perspective, crimson smoke drifted around the two-bedroom apartment.

Unlike the somber aura left by evil spirits, this crimson smoke contained unimaginable brutal killing intent.

It's obvious that this thing didn't come about naturally.

"They don't look like someone to be trifled with."

Hanako emerged from behind Yoshimura Hanako, staring intently at the crimson mist before her.

When faced with this situation for the first time, Yoshimura Hanako did not hesitate to call Higa Haruko.

After answering the phone, Haruko Higa listened to Hanako Yoshimura's description and pondered for a moment.

"Speak up, I'll ask him."

"it is good."

Yoshimura Hanako turned on the speakerphone and called Miyagawa Hayashi, who was by the window, to come to her side.

"Um, hello?"

"I'll ask you a question, you answer it. Stop talking nonsense."

"Ok!"

Miyagawa Sayo didn't know Higa Haruko, but hearing the serious voice on the phone, he subconsciously stood up straight like a disciplined elementary school student.

"Have you offended anyone recently?" Miyagawa Sayo pondered for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then told Higa Haruko that he was the head of a yakuza association.

"Miyagawa Shoshu?"

"You know me?"

"Ugh"

Haruko Higa sighed.

“Your file has already been on my desk. What happened around you?”

When Miyagawa Sayo heard Higa Haruko say that she knew him, his eyes lit up, guessing that Higa Haruko must also know Kayano and the others.

Having reached this conclusion, Miyagawa Shoshu did not hide anything and told Higa Haruko about some of the details of his club.

"Send someone to investigate that person's social connections immediately. You can even get Chief Matsuda to cooperate with you, and then..."

"?"

"Never mind, it's nothing. Just remember, the sooner the better, if you don't want to suddenly die one day."

Haruko Higa's earnest advice made Hayato Miyagawa realize the seriousness of the problem. Subsequently, Hanako Yoshimura asked what exactly this thing was.

"It's not certain right now. This kind of brutal spiritual power could be from several sources: a corpse controlled by witchcraft, a successfully crafted imp, or even a curse."

Higa Haruko's explanation made Yoshimura Hanako frown slightly and look at Miyagawa Shoshu, who looked uneasy beside her.

"Teacher, do you believe that among those relatives and friends with the red certificate, some of them possess these evil arts?"

"Well, that's the only way to judge for now. These evil spells all require various mediums, the most effective of which is the brain matter of the dead, filled with resentment."

"From your description, the caster did not intend to kill Miyagawa Shoshu directly. He probably wanted to kill the people around Miyagawa Shoshu first, to break him down, and then kill him, turning him into an evil spirit as well."

"hiss"

Miyagawa Hayashi gasped. These evil spells are really that bizarre.
"Miyagawa, you don't need to worry too much. Due to various reasons, I can't tell you much, but..."

In her office in Kyoto, Haruko Higa looked at the files detailing the various actions that Sayo Miyagawa had taken for Kayano.

"Just don't leave headquarters unless it's absolutely necessary."

"what?"

"That's settled then. Now, contact Chief Matsuda to investigate."

After hanging up the phone, Yoshimura Hanako looked at Miyagawa Hayashi, who was completely bewildered.

"Um, why is it better if I don't leave headquarters?"

Yoshimura Hanako shook her head and spoke softly.

"I won't tell you either, but you just need to know that for you right now, this is the best option."

Miyagawa Sayo swallowed hard and nodded subconsciously.

With Yoshimura Hanako's protection, Miyagawa Shoshu returned to the headquarters of the Aotegumi.

"The store manager? Mr. Miyagawa?"

Hearing Jia Yezi's shout, Yoshimura Hanako and Miyagawa Shoshu looked over.

"Good morning, Miss Jia Yezi."

"Good morning, Mr. Miyagawa."

Kayano looked at the two of them curiously. Yoshimura Hanako told Miyagawa Shoshu not to run around for the next few days, and then walked straight to Kayano.

"Manager, are you here to find some peace and quiet?"

"No, I'm here to handle some business."

"Oh"

Jia Yezi nodded, then took off her backpack and opened it in front of Yoshimura Hanako.

"Manager, would you like some?"

Yoshimura Hanako glanced at the dazzling array of snacks in her backpack, her gaze lingering for a moment on several imported milk candies before picking one up, opening it, and putting it in her mouth.

"Manager, is it delicious?"

Under Jia Yezi's expectant gaze, Yoshimura Hanako nodded and patted her head.

"It's delicious, come in."

"Good~"
