Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

Terujiro looked as if he had known it all along.

"You guys are really good at these kinds of cases, aren't you?"

"Hmph," Shotaro turned his head away arrogantly, "But it's really unfortunate. Detectives who live in this cruel world will not easily bow to power." With that, he threw the photo back onto the table with great pride.

He's not going to work for the police for free.

not to mention!

He was still a stranger and a very arrogant police officer.

Terui Ryu smiled dismissively, took an envelope out of his pocket, and handed it to Akiko.

She took it with a puzzled look and opened it.

Inside were many 1 yen bills. Akiko, who hadn't seen so much money in a long time, couldn't help but tremble and drool.

Shotaro, standing next to him, was still oblivious, maintaining his arrogant and thuggish demeanor.

"Get out of here!"

Terui Ryu picked up his teacup, smelled it, then frowned in disgust and pushed it away. Seeing that he was being ignored, Shotaro Sato became even angrier and raised his hand as if to forcibly drive him away, saying:

I told you to get lost!

The next second, Shotaro was hit hard on the head by a green slipper.

"it hurts!"

Her ears and nose also bore varying degrees of pinching and bruising marks. Akiko, abandoning her previous attitude, respectfully addressed Terui Ryu:

“Thank you for your patronage!”

She took out some precious snacks, poured them into a plate, and eagerly handed them to Terujiro, saying, "Please continue to support our business in the future."

"You bastard!" Shotaro covered his ear, which had just been pinched red, with one hand and made a threatening fist gesture with the other, gritting his teeth, "You're such a money-grubber!"

"Then I'll leave it to you." Teruji stood up and tossed out the words as he walked towards the door, "Chief, I'll borrow Mr. Zuo for a while."

"Huh?" Shotaro looked at him.

"Please, please!" Akiko was very happy and quickly pushed him towards the client. "Alright, Shotaro, hurry up and follow!"

Shotaro had no power to resist or refuse and was forced to follow Ryu Terui.

The two got on their motorcycles at the door. Terui Ryu rode off on his red motorcycle, driving away quickly, leaving Shotaro Hidari, who was still wearing his helmet, stunned. He then shouted:

"Hey! You bastard, wait for me!"

He immediately followed, his eyes fixed on Terujiro's back as if he wanted to poke a hole through it.

"This guy makes me really uncomfortable, and what annoys me the most is..."

Shotaro gritted his teeth, "This guy has an inexplicable tough guy vibe about him."

He's even tougher than him!

This was something that made Zuo Xiangtaro feel even worse than Lu Chen, who was more handsome than him.

Akiko was counting her newly received commission at the agency, her eyes shining as she praised him, "He looks handsome and capable, Shotaro Hidari can't compare to him at all."

Philip came out and looked in the direction they had left. "Terui Ryu, a policeman from the Futo Police Station?"

"Are you interested in him?" Akiko asked curiously.

"Ah."

Philip nodded, then frowned and said:

"But... what is there about him that I care about?" She sighed and added, "It's precisely because I don't know that I can't let go."

...

"Ding! Detected that Sonozaki Saeko's loyalty to the host has reached 100%!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received Sonozaki Saeko's Gift of Loyalty - T2 Fiery Memory!"

"Ding! Detected that Sonozaki Wakana's loyalty to the host has reached 100%!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received Sonozaki Wakana's gift of loyalty - T2 Metal Memory!"

After defeating Sonozaki Ryubei and becoming the master of Sonozaki, coupled with Lu Chen's deliberate efforts, the loyalty of the two sisters, Sonozaki Saeko and Sonozaki Wakana, to Lu Chen skyrocketed.

They successfully reached the level of die-hard loyalty.

The task of winning over the Sonozaki family is only missing Sonozaki Ryuhei and Philip.

Sonozaki Ryubei is no longer a problem.

Lu Chen had already decided that in order to quickly increase Sonozaki Ryubei's loyalty, he would send someone to keep a close watch on her 24 hours a day.

Make Sonozaki Ryubei use T2 Fear Transformation at least ten times a day, with each session lasting at least ten minutes.

I believe that in a few days, Sonozaki Ryubei will be loyal to Lu Chen to the death.

As for Philip, although he can't use the same methods as with Sonozaki Ryubei, it's only a matter of time before he becomes fiercely loyal to her.

Oh right, there's one more person whose loyalty to Lu Chen is absolutely unwavering, and that is...

With a creak, Lu Chen and Councilor Nanahara Miyabi walked out of the room together. Asuka, who was playing with building blocks in the living room, turned her head and looked over, then pouted and said with dissatisfaction:

"Mom, why didn't you invite me when you ate cake? That's so mean..."

Want some cake?

Nan Yuanya realized something, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly covered her face with her hands, giving Lu Chen beside her a charming and reproachful look. You naughty guy.

They didn't even remind her...

Lu Chen smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

After defeating Sonozaki Ryubei, it was no longer important whether the old man agreed to build the second Fuuto Tower. Therefore, Lu Chen had Kusuhara Masaru restart the construction plan.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Nanahara Miya naturally developed an unwavering loyalty to Lu Chen.

As for her fervent loyalty...

"Ding! It has been detected that Nanahara Miyako's loyalty to the host has reached 100%!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received Nanahara Miyabi's Gift of Loyalty - T2 Moon Goddess Memory!!!"

......

Police station.

"Thanks for your hard work."

As soon as Teruji arrived at the police station, he saw the police officer standing at the entrance and gave him a casual greeting.

"I've been waiting for you, Officer Terui."

Upon seeing him appear, the two police officers immediately perked up. Terujiro strode steadily and quickly past the police, entered the cordon, and walked into the crime scene where the two men were being guarded. "This is our team's first mission, so keep your spirits up!"

The two men who opened the door for him immediately stood up straight and answered in a firm and resounding voice:

"Yes!"

Shotaro, who was following closely behind, looked up and was shocked to see that it was Rinno and Makura, whom he recognized. Why were these two so respectful to Ryu? He was about to ask something out of curiosity when Makura quickly stopped him and covered his mouth.

Unable to ask questions, Shotaro could only follow them forward.

Soon, they arrived at a room.

The moment he stepped inside, Shotaro was startled by the bone-chilling cold.

"It's so cold!"

Why is this room so cold?

Shotaro crossed his arms, looked around the room, and was shocked by the scene before him, exclaiming, "Is this a cryo-chamber?"

The room was filled with frozen ice, there was a thin layer of snow on the floor, and even long strips of ice hanging from the ceiling.

If you didn't see the frozen furniture, you might think this was a freezer.

On the ground lay the outline of the body drawn by the police, next to a conspicuous sign.

"Who is the victim?" Terujiro, who had been silent all along, asked in a cold voice.

Immediately following behind, Mikio Rinno said in a deep voice, "The victim is the president of an entertainment company, named Shinya Ikeda, 42 years old."

"Someone found him here, completely frozen solid." As he spoke, Mikio Renno walked to the body and speculated:

"I believe that the recent spate of bizarre freezing cases are the work of the same person."

"is it?"

Teruji raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and asked in return.

"Hmm?" Shotaro looked at Terui Ryu, who was posing arrogantly in front of him, and then turned to look at Jinno Mikio next to him, somewhat annoyed.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Wait a minute, why is he acting even more arrogant than you?"

Upon hearing him speak so loudly, Renno Mikio quickly pulled him aside and whispered:

"Officer Terui is an elite officer who was transferred to our newly established Extraordinary Crime Investigation Division of the Futo Police Department."

"Huh?" Shotaro glanced at Ryu Terui standing at the window.
