Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

then……

They had a great time.

As it turns out, the fox's choice may be expensive, but it's absolutely delicious.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they parted ways.

Airi Yamada patted her bulging belly and sighed:

"Mr. Wen Shui chose a really good restaurant. He's so handsome and funny. I wish my future boyfriend could be like that..."

"Uh-huh……"

"That's so perfunctory! Yumiko, you seem a little distracted."

Hayami Yumiko whispered, "I... I remembered something."

"what's up?"

"When we were in the performance hall before, weren't Senior Ijichi and Mr. Nukumizu walking in front? How could they have gone into the restroom without passing us?"

"Perhaps we just misjudged the situation?"

"Maybe……"

There were some things that Hayami Yumiko didn't say.

Unlike her friend, she has been an enthusiast of urban legends since childhood and actually believes in the existence of vengeful spirits.

Inside the performance hall, when the others realized that Ichiji was missing, she vaguely saw the back of a man and blue sparks scattered around her, and also heard a faint female scream.

She didn't know if it was just her imagination.

But if not, then perhaps...

That Mr. Warm Water is more mysterious and extraordinary than everyone thinks...

"Hey, Yumiko, didn't you hear me?"

"Oh, sorry, I was daydreaming."

"Seriously, it seems you've eaten too much and your blood is concentrated in your stomach, so your brain isn't getting enough blood. Oh well, I'll have to use my special technique to boost your spirits!"

Unique, exclusive techniques?

The next second, Airi Yamada's sinister hands began to rub the protruding part of Yumiko Hayami's back.

"what!"

the other side.

Hideyuki Hoshino escorted the swaying Kikuri Iji back to her doorstep.

"You probably didn't have many drinks, how come you're so drunk?"

Kikuchi Iji blushed and murmured, "It's probably because... I feel like it's all a dream. A month ago, I would never have imagined that things would turn out like this."

"Hmm, this must be what they mean by 'the wine doesn't intoxicate, but the feeling itself makes you drunk'~"

"So, Hideyuki-kun, I don't know what other words can describe my feelings, but... thank you so much..."

Halfway through.

Suddenly, Ichiki turned around, put her hand on the wall, and trapped Hoshino Hideyuki between herself and the door—yes, she struck a wall-slamming pose.

Under the influence of alcohol, her voice became somewhat shaky.

“Shuyuki…I…”

"Hmm~"

Hoshino Hideyuki exchanged a playful glance with Iji Chikiri, even reaching out to unbutton the first button of his casual shirt, and whispered, "Are you finally going to awaken your delinquent nature and make a move against this weak little fox of mine?"

In a daze, Hoshino Hideyuki heard the sound of the kettle boiling.

"No, no! I just wanted to express my gratitude!"

After saying that, Ichikiku went through the door and never came out again.

"Hahaha!"

"You've been a delinquent and played in a band, but I didn't expect you to be so girly in this area. Someone like you would probably have your panties stolen if you went to a host club."

"Luckily, I'm not a gigolo~"

Hoshino Hideyuki stretched and was about to head back to the Inuyama residence when his phone rang.

"What's wrong, Zhe?"

“We have a new goal,” Inuyama Tetsu replied.

"But...would you be interested in becoming a male escort?"

what?

Chapter 31 The Fox Doesn't Want to Be a Cowherd

Time went back to three hours ago.

In a meeting room at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

"So, I can leave now?"

Kaito Kasuga leaned back in his chair, making no attempt to hide the annoyance in his eyes.

Across the table, Inuyama Tetsu sat upright, maintaining a professional smile: "Yes, Mr. Kasuga, I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

Kasuga Kaito scoffed, "This is the third time already. You cops really haven't improved at all. All you know how to do is apologize. Ha."

"Hey, you guy!"

Behind Inuyama Tetsuya, the young policeman glared and said, "Don't give us that crap, don't treat us like idiots! It's obvious those three deaths are related to you..."

"What do you mean, 'clearly'? Don't you guys ever provide evidence for your statements?"

Kaito Kasuga interrupted the young policeman, then looked at Tetsuya Inuyama: "Officer Inuyama, as a law-abiding taxpayer, I should not have to endure this kind of insult!"

"you are right."

Inuyama Tetsu nodded, then turned and tugged at the young policeman: "Miyazaki, sit down."

"Yes……"

The young policeman sighed and sat back down in his chair with a sense of helplessness.

Kasuga Kaito smiled slightly.

But then, Inuyama Tetsuya looked directly into his eyes and said:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Kasuga, we've met three times now, and I have a few words I'd like to share with you."

"What?"

"There's an old saying at Dongda University: 'Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish...' I hope you will take this as a warning."

Kasuga Kaito's eyelids twitched.

In that instant, he felt the eyes of the middle-aged policeman with the mediocre smile in front of him change, as if he were a wolfhound that had spotted its prey.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this a threat?"

"No, it was just advice. I sincerely hope I never see you again, that's why I said that."

"Hmph, you can say that to yourself."

Kasuga Kaito stood up, his face long, and walked out of the meeting room.

"You've wasted two more days of my time. Do you know that I could have earned more money in those two days than you do in a month!"

After people leave.

The young policeman, Miyazaki, stood up again, indignantly saying:

"Inuyama-senpai, I really want to punch him in the face!"

Inuyama Tetsu shook his head with a laugh: "Hahaha, then you've made a mistake. If there's suspicion of torture to extract a confession, even if we find evidence later, we won't be able to convict him."

"Sigh, I know, I was just saying it offhand."

Miyazaki scratched his head: "But, can we really find any evidence? We have absolutely no clue whatsoever..."

“It is very difficult to find evidence of induced suicide.”

"If this continues, the murderer will get away with it..."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Inuyama Tetsuya said this out of the blue, then stretched his neck, gathered the documents on the table together, and asked Miyazaki, "Did you see Yakushiji when you went downstairs just now?"

"Miss? Yes, she's still in her office... Do you want to go see her?"

"Yes, I need to report the progress of this case to her. Kid, remember this: if you want a promotion, you have to report to your superiors regularly!"

“That makes sense… but Yakushiji isn’t the boss yet, is he…”

"The elite group? It'll be just a matter of time..."

Inuyama Tetsuya walked out of the room.

On his way upstairs, when no one was looking, he took some new documents and made an extra copy of them along with the files he was holding.

Now, about five hours later.

Tetsu Inuyama's home.

The documents were placed in front of the fox.

"So, my target this time is this host named Kasuga Kaito?"

"Yes."

"The suspected charge is... um, inducing someone to commit suicide?"

"Within six months, three of his female clients committed suicide one after another."

Tetsuya Inuyama explained, "Because it involves complex emotional issues, women who go to male escorts often commit suicide or homicide, but it is too strange for three people to commit suicide in a row."
