Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Masahiro Hanyu told Rea Hashimoto that he had met a friend and asked her to wait where she was. He then walked up to Taku Kurokawa alone.

"Mr. Kurokawa, what are you doing here?"

Kurokawa Taku coldly scrutinized him. "Mr. Yuzuru, I also want to ask, why did you come here?"

Masahiro Hanyu realized that Kurokawa Taku's question meant he didn't know Hanyu had moved here. So, their meeting here might just be a coincidence?

"I came with a friend," Masahiro Hanyu replied vaguely.

Kurokawa Taku glanced at Hashimoto Reia, his expression softening considerably. "So, Yuzuru-kun has a girlfriend. Which apartment does she live in?"

Masahiro Hanyu frowned. "Is there any need to tell Mr. Kurokawa about this?"

"By the way, I was just about to see you. I've moved as agreed, and Mr. Kurokawa doesn't need to know my address either. But about the compensation you promised..."

Kurokawa Taku took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, counted them, and handed them over, "This is 30 yen."

"Actually, it doesn't matter anymore, because Miss Mingkong has moved. I believe you have a girlfriend now and won't be following her anymore, but I still keep my word."

As Hanyu Masahiro accepted the 30 yen, he had a gut feeling that Kurokawa Taku had come here at the invitation of Izayoi Akizo.

However, Izayoi probably didn't mention that she and Masahiro Hanyu lived in the same apartment.

Just then, his pager went off; it was Yui Satsuki calling.

Masahiro Hanyu put the money away. "Thank you, Mr. Kurokawa. I hope we never see each other again."

Then he turned and walked towards Hashimoto Reia, "I need to go answer a page!"

There were public phone booths downstairs in the apartment building, Hashimoto Reia pointed out.

Masahiro Hanyu pulled her along, saying, "It's inconvenient to make a call here."

The two arrived at one side of the apartment building. Kurokawa Taku couldn't see them, so Hanyu Masahiro stopped. "Ms. Reia, please wait for me here."

Turning the corner of the apartment building, there was a public phone booth at the end of the alley where Masahiro Hanyu and Yui Satsuki made a phone call.

During the phone call, Yui Satsuki first congratulated Masahiro Hanyu on becoming a full-fledged investigator at the detective agency, and then asked him if he was satisfied with his new home.

After hearing Masahiro Hanyu's affirmative answer, Yui Satsuki said, "That's right, Keiko Tanaka's case has been accepted by the SIT Special Crime Investigation Department."

"The police highly commend the results of the investigation into Hanyu-kun. In order to continue the investigation into Fuseikai, SIT will not disturb Nako Yonemura for the time being."

"If Inoue Kazuhiko or Yonemura Nako contacts Hanyu-kun, please continue the previous investigation."

Masahiro Hanyu recalled the fourth reward he had chosen after completing this investigation commission.

"Does President Satsuki mean we should continue being partners?"

"Perhaps, it hasn't been confirmed yet. For now, we're just asking for your cooperation on this matter." Yui Satsuki's tone was gentler than before.

After hanging up the phone, Masahiro Hanyu returned to the side of the apartment building, where Rea Hashimoto came over and took his arm.

She admired the man's behavior in front of Hirano Shōmei, especially the doubling of his commission, which filled her with respect.

"Mr. Yuzuru, I feel it's necessary to tell you what I just saw."

"Your friend has left. He came to see Miss Mingkong. The two of them seem to be exchanging some important items."

As expected, Kurokawa Taku was invited by Izayoi. Instead of going to a coffee shop, the two chose to meet downstairs at the apartment building.

So far, Izayoi still refuses to reveal what she and Kurokawa Taku are doing.

Yuzuru Masahiro nodded. "Yes, I understand." He didn't want Hashimoto Reia to know too much about Izayoi.

Although he slept with Hashimoto, the two didn't really know each other, so there were some things they needed to be careful about to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.

Hashimoto Reia leaned close to his ear, "If you feel it's inconvenient to go back, you can come to my place. I live alone."

The smooth, soft sensation made Masahiro Hanyu feel a slight tingling sensation.

As Hashimoto was speaking, he suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his earlobe.

"Convenient, I have something to discuss with Miss Reiya!"

The two entered room 302, where Izayoi Akira was cleaning.

"You two are back. Please sit down and rest."

Izayoi brought over two glasses of water, as if she were the hostess here.

Reia Hashimoto's chest was almost pressed against Masahiro Hanyu's body. "Hanyu-kun, is there something you want to tell me?"

Izayoi was wiping the table with a rag. "Do whatever you want, just pretend I'm not here."

Masahiro Hanyu sat up straight. "Hirano Shōmei's request was very dangerous. Reia-san, you understand that now, don't you?"

Hashimoto Reia bit her lower lip. "Yes, I didn't think things through when I accepted this request, which is why I said I wanted to make it up to you."

She glanced at Izayoi, took off her top, and said, "Since Miss Mingkong doesn't mind, Yuzuru-kun shouldn't feel burdened either!"

As Hashimoto Reia continued to undress, Yuzuru Masahiro stopped her.

"This commission is a newly signed agreement, and Miss Rea doesn't need to compensate me."

"I want to make it clear to you that the doubled commission was something I negotiated, and it has nothing to do with Miss Rea."

Hashimoto had already loosened her belt when she stopped. "What do you mean by that, Yuzuru-kun?"

Masahiro Hanyu's expression was serious. "Our original agreement was this: half of the commission from Ms. Reia's commission would be used to pay off her debts, and the other half would be split equally between us."

"The commission that was just negotiated by Hirano Shōmei was not Ms. Reiya."

"Therefore, the commission distribution between us should still be calculated according to the 2000 million yen agreement that Ms. Reiya signed previously."

"I must explain this to Miss Rea."

Reia Hashimoto frowned. "What if I disagree?"

Masahiro Hanyu picked up his water glass and took a sip. "Then I can only tell Hirano Hiroaki that my refusal to continue with the commission is because of Ms. Reia."

The distribution of commissions must be clear. Masahiro Hanyu will not allow Rei Hashimoto to freely allocate the fruits of his labor just because he slept with her.

After all, it's just a sexual relationship, not a marital relationship.

Hashimoto Reia looked somewhat dejected; she had just thought that if she completed the commission, she could receive 1000 million yen.

She put her coat back on. "Hanyu-kun, as a man, you're being a bit stingy."

Masahiro Hanyu disagreed, saying, "I'm just asserting my legitimate rights."

Reia Hashimoto sighed. "Fine, I have no choice but to agree."

She stood up, angrily pushed open the door, and left.

As Izayoi Akira listened to the receding footsteps, she said, "Mr. Yuzuru, Ms. Reia seems to be angry."

"However, I think Mr. Yuzuru is right. Since it's money you earned through hard work, why should you share it with her?"

Yuzuru Masahiro took a sip of water. "Miss Mingkong is quite sensible, but you shouldn't be living here."

Izayoi walked up to him and slowly unbuttoned her shirt. "Mr. Yuzuru, do you want to make a contract with me?"
