Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Yuzuru Masahiro was startled. Hashimoto Reia had also found this place? His secret move had been a complete failure.

He walked over and looked through the peephole. He saw that Hashimoto Reia, with her red hair and large breasts, was standing outside the door. After confirming that she was alone, he opened the door.

Reia Hashimoto entered the room, glanced at Izayoi, and said, "Hanyu-kun, so what you're doing today is moving!"

"You should have told me. I could have helped you. This is a housewarming celebration, something to be congratulated on."

Masahiro Hanyu sized her up. "How did you find your way here?"

Reia Hashimoto didn't answer, but looked around and said, "This room is really nice."

She walked to the bedside and pressed her hand on it. "The room is soundproof, so the bed won't make any noise. That way, the two people in bed can enjoy themselves to the fullest."

"The wooden bed in room 502 was making an annoying noise last night. If it weren't for the lip balm and how vigorous you were, I would have wanted to stop."

She turned around, her gaze falling on Izayoi. "Beautiful lady, what's your name?"

Izayoi looked her over. "My name is Izayoi Akira! What's your name?"

Hashimoto smiled. "My name is Hashimoto Reia! Don't worry, I won't compete with you for Hanyu-kun. Last night I was just making it up to him."

Izayoi was somewhat surprised. "Compete! Why compete?"

Hashimoto was taken aback. "Oh, so you don't care. I was the one overthinking it."

She walked up to Masahiro Hanyu and said, "I know you don't intend to accept this commission, but if you don't, Hirano Yoshiaki will sell me abroad."

"Besides, he doesn't intend to let you go. Rather than living in fear and hiding, you might as well accept this commission."

Reia Hashimoto puffed out her chest and bumped into Masahiro Hanyu.

"If you can accept the commission and complete it, I promise to stay with you for a year, whatever you want!"

Feeling the fullness and softness being conveyed, Masahiro Hanyu recalled the unbridled passion of last night, which was indeed quite unforgettable.

He shook his head. "I'm sorry, Miss Lianya, if I accept this commission, I might not have the chance to do anything about it in the future."

Hashimoto Reia pointed out the window, "I'm sorry, this may not be up to you, Yuzuru-kun, because Hirano Shōmei's people are downstairs."

Masahiro Hanyu stepped onto the balcony and looked down. Two black sedans were parked outside the apartment building. Four burly men in navy blue suits stood beside the cars, looking up in his direction.

Masahiro Hanyu turned to Hashimoto and asked, "Is it really worth all this fuss over a mere 200 million yen breach of contract fee?"

Hashimoto Reia looked somewhat embarrassed. "I... only found out today that recently only the two of us have accepted this commission to investigate the assassin."

Masahiro Hanyu frowned; he understood the situation.

"Miss Reiya, it's not that both of us accept it, it's that only you accept it, because it's me, not you, who is in mortal danger."

Hashimoto Reia bit her lower lip. "Hanyu-kun, I'll help you investigate the assassin. I won't let you take the risks alone."

Masahiro Hanyu sighed. "Let's go see Hirano Shōmei first."

Izayoi Akira glanced downstairs and said, "Mr. Yuzuru, we can actually continue moving."

As Hanyu Masahiro and Hashimoto Reia left the apartment building, they were politely ushered into two cars by four burly men.

After getting into the car, Masahiro Hanyu was sandwiched between two burly men, who seemed worried that he would jump out and escape.

After about an hour's drive, we arrived at the Tokyo Bay pier.

Masahiro Hanyu was dragged off the car by two burly men, and the salty sea breeze hit him in the face.

This is an unused cargo berth at the very edge of the dock. Masahiro Hanyu and Rea Hashimoto were taken aboard a dilapidated medium-sized cargo ship.

Pushing open the door to a cabin, a scent of high-grade sandalwood wafted out.

The aroma of aged tobacco wafts towards you.

The cabin was decorated in a simple and restrained Korean style, with a middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind a low wooden table.

The middle-aged man was tall and burly, and looked at Masahiro Hanyu with a blank expression. "I am Hirano Hiroaki. Mr. Hanyu, Ms. Reia, please have a seat."

After the two sat down, someone brought tea and snacks. Hirano Shōmei waved his hand, and everyone else left.

"Mr. Yuzuru, I heard you're busy moving, so it's really a bit presumptuous of me to invite you here."

Masahiro Hanyu asked calmly, "How did Mr. Hirano find me?"

Hirano Shōmei straightened his posture. "Judging from what Ms. Reiya said, you're not too willing to accept this commission. To prevent being unable to contact you again, I've sent someone with high-powered binoculars to keep watch on the rooftops near your apartment."

"I've remembered the green license plate of your taxi. It won't be hard to find from here. The elevator is on the 3rd floor, and Miss Reiya will see you there."

Yuzuru Masahiro listened calmly as Hirano Shōmei finished speaking. "Mr. Hirano, since you can easily find out my whereabouts, why do you insist that I accept this commission?"

"Your men are very experienced; they'd be better suited to finding assassins than I am. Why pay me a commission to find an assassin for them?"

"Due to special circumstances, it's not suitable for me to investigate." Hirano Shōmei picked up his teacup and took a slow sip. "Miss Reiya is unaware of this matter, and even those close to me are not entirely clear on it."

"The killer's target wasn't me, but my wife."

Hirano Shōmei's words were not easy to understand, but Hanyu Masahiro remained silent and listened quietly as the other continued.

Hirano Shōmei put down his teacup. "Mr. Hanyu and Ms. Reia must be finding this a bit strange."

"Here's the thing: my wife is no longer actually my wife; she's the chairman's mistress."

Reia Hashimoto couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hirano, I don't understand what you're saying."

Hirano Shōmei said calmly, "My wife, Nagi Haru, is beautiful, and the chairman likes her very much. I found out that Nagi Haru and the chairman are together."

"So I secretly divorced Nagi Haru and made her the chairman's mistress, so that the chairman's wife wouldn't find out."

Masahiro Hanyu was somewhat surprised. It was rare to see a man who had been cuckolded so calm and composed, as if he were talking about someone else's business.

"But after Nagiharu got together with the president, she encountered several assassination attempts. Although I saved her in time each time, the assassin was never found."

"Both Nagi Haru and the president suspect that I did it, so I have to find someone else to investigate this matter in order to prove my innocence."

"Actually, I sincerely wish Nagi Haru and the student council president a happy relationship. Seeing the student council president and Nagi Haru so happy makes me happy too."

At this point, Hirano Shōmei stopped talking, staring at the roof as if reminiscing about something wonderful.

Hashimoto Reia tried her best to hide her surprise. She lowered her head slightly and gently touched Yuzuru Masahiro.

"Mr. Yuzuru, you should have something to say."

Masahiro Hanyu nodded. "I understand what Mr. Hirano means. No one has accepted this request until now, so you can't miss it."

Hirano Shōmei seemed to snap out of his reverie. "Oh, sorry, I lost my composure."

"It's not that no one accepted the commission; it's that some people took the commission but disappeared before there were any results."

"They are missing and have not been found to this day. You are the third people to accept this commission."
