Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

The intelligence tip was right. Seeing Naoko Yonemura using the VIV lighter, Masahiro Hanyu became even more certain of his judgment.

Keiko Tanaka's death was directly related to Naoko Yonemura.

The fact that Kurokawa Taku, Inoue Kazuhiko, and Yonemura all owned this lighter initially misled him.

He carefully observed the VIV lighter in Nako's hand and noticed that the words "Nako" were engraved in very small letters at the end of the lighter.

That wasn't his concern. What he needed to do now was to find out the truth about Tanaka Keiko's death from Nako.

However, if Tanaka Keiko's death was caused by Nako or even by her, it would be difficult to find out the truth simply by probing with words.

"Your brother, Mr. Yonemura, likes to be around beautiful women, but he says that Keiko Tanaka isn't pretty at all!"

Nako's smoking posture was elegant, completely different from the man's fierce and casual manner.

"Although she's not pretty, Keiko is rich. It's said that her husband died, leaving her with many properties."

"Back then, my brother was neither famous nor rich, and I was unemployed. My brother started dating Tanaka Keiko for the sake of the family."

At this point, Nako became alert. "Mr. Yamamoto, you didn't come to see me today because of Keiko, did you?"

Masahiro Hanyu slowly exhaled a smoke ring. "Of course not. I came to see Nako... because I have mixed feelings. After drinking with Mr. Yonemura, I couldn't shake off these feelings."

"Actually, my situation with Ms. Mio is just like when Mr. Yonemura and Keiko Tanaka were together."

"Miss Mio is very wealthy, and I'm the one pursuing her, but her feelings for me... sigh!"

Masahiro Hanyu deliberately left things unsaid, giving Nako more room to speak.

Sure enough, Naoko sighed, "I can tell that Ms. Mio looks down on Mr. Yamamoto, but she's so beautiful."

"I've met Tanaka Keiko before. She's overweight and can't be compared to Ms. Mio. Plus, she's older."

"When her brother wasn't famous, she just wanted to have some fun with him, nothing serious. You might not know this, but Keiko and Mr. Inoue were Latin dance partners when they were young."

"It was she who introduced my brother to Mr. Inoue, and my brother joined the Fuseikai as a result. Later, I was offered up to be a volunteer."

As she said this, Naoko bit her lower lip, and her eyes turned cold.

Using his micro-expression reading skills, Masahiro Hanyu was able to determine that Nako Yonemura harbored resentment towards Keiko Tanaka because of this incident.

She is not doing her current volunteer work at the Fu Sheng Association willingly.

So, was Tanaka Keiko's suicide intentionally caused by Nako?

"I know all of this. Mr. Yonemura had been drinking too much, and he talked to me about many things."

"I wanted to know what the final outcome was between Mr. Yonemura and Ms. Tanaka Keiko, but he wouldn't tell me, so I came to see Ms. Nako."

Nako had finished her cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray. "Mr. Yamamoto, Keiko Tanaka is dead!"

Masahiro Hanyu feigned surprise, stubbing out his cigarette. "Dead! What happened?"

Nako picked up her teacup, took a sip, and glanced at Masahiro Hanyu. "Keiko Tanaka committed suicide by hanging. It's in the past, and I don't want to talk about her."

"Mr. Yamamoto, is there nothing else you want to say besides talking about Keiko Tanaka?"

Yuzuru Masahiro picked up the rough earthenware cup and slowly took a sip of tea. Although it still tasted the same, he could clearly feel that there was no sense of disorientation, nor any uncontrollable restlessness.

The tea he's drinking now isn't sacred tea; sacred tea shouldn't be something you can just take out and drink casually.

"There's actually another matter I wanted to discuss with Miss Naoko."

"After tasting the sacred tea last time, Miss Mio became much more compliant, and she did not resist when I kissed her."

"I wonder if Miss Mio would become particularly compliant if she drank enough sacred tea."

Naoko Yonemura nodded. "Yes, I will definitely listen to your advice."

Masahiro Hanyu's eyes were filled with longing. "I want to see how Nako-san will react after drinking too much of the sacred tea. That way, I'll have more confidence in dealing with Mio-san."

Naoko Yonemura's eyes softened. "Mr. Yamamoto, I don't need to drink the sacred tea to obey you. There are only the two of us here, so please give me your orders. I can do anything Kyoko can do."

Masahiro Hanyu shook his head. "I want to see what Nako-san looks like after she drinks the sacred tea."

Naoko suddenly realized, "I understand, you want us to be more passionate and intense."

"Sacred tea is not something to be tasted lightly, but even if Mr. Inoue knew about Mr. Yamamoto's request, he would not refuse."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and fetch the sacred tea."

Naoko got up and went out, and soon came back in with a tea box in her hand.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I will brew tea for you again, this time with more tea leaves. I believe we will have a better experience."

She changed into a kimono, the kind that Kyoko wore was semi-transparent. Although she wasn't wearing nothing underneath, the glimpses of her skin were incredibly alluring.

Yuzuru glanced at her and realized that Nako's breasts were indeed more eye-catching than Izayoi's.

Nako brewed tea again, and the aroma filled the air. Although it was the same fragrance, it gave Masahiro Hanyu a dazed feeling.

"Miss Nako, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Nako looked shy and affectionate, "My feelings are the same as Yuzuru's."

The tea was quickly brewed, and Nako poured tea for both Yuzuru Masahiro and herself. "Mr. Yamamoto, please try it and see how it goes."

Masahiro Hanyu picked up his teacup and took a small sip. The taste was the same, and the special components of the tea were quickly absorbed by his body as it went down his throat.

He first felt restless inside, and then his body felt a little hot.

Just a small sip had such a powerful effect; Nako indeed increased the dosage of the sacred tea.

"Miss Naoko, please enjoy it with me."

Naoko nodded. She drank quickly, finishing her cup of tea in no time, and then refilled it.

"Mr. Yamamoto, please enjoy your meal. This place is ours tonight."

Her cheeks were noticeably flushed, and her body trembled slightly.

Masahiro Hanyu held his teacup and pretended to take another small sip.

"Miss Naoko, you need to drink more so I can understand how Mio will obey me."

Naoko obediently drank the tea. After drinking three cups, her body trembled more violently, and she had to bite her red lips from time to time.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I am by your side tonight, please forget about Ms. Mio for now."

Masahiro Hanyu personally poured her a fourth cup of tea. "Miss Nako is right. Tonight, you are all I see, no one else."

After drinking the fourth cup of tea, Nako's neck turned pink, and her eyes became unfocused.

"Mr. Yamamoto, I can't drink anymore, I feel terrible!"

She raised her hand to tie her hair up, then crawled to her knees before him. "Please, please let me give you everything!"

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Masahiro Yuzuru said, "Miss Nako, I still need to talk to you first."
