The Tokyo Police Journey Begins with the Ability to See Evil Thoughts

"The tutoring center... has CCTV footage. You two officers can check it to see if anyone has been in that restroom."

At this moment, a student timidly spoke up.

Muheyou looked over immediately, but Shen Guyuan shook his head and said:

"That's probably not feasible. I noticed when I came in that the security camera is facing the main entrance and doesn't cover this side at all."

"We'll have to see..."

Muheyou shook her head and asked Takahashi Toru, "How do I access the surveillance footage?"

"It's on that old computer, but officer... due to operating costs, that thing has actually been broken for a long time, but the boss just hasn't replaced it, so you probably can't see anything."

At this moment, the patrolmen had already gone upstairs, and Muheyou immediately arranged for them to check the surveillance footage.

As Takahashi Tetsu had predicted, the monitoring system on that old computer was already broken. Not to mention retrieving the footage, it took half a day just to boot up, and in the end, all that appeared on the screen was static.

Next came the lengthy process of taking statements.

Because there were simply too many people, it was impossible to bring everyone to the police station.

The only place to ask questions is in this tutoring center.

Half an hour later, an unexpected person appeared at the scene—Superintendent General Saionji Chikawa.

Because of Kamiya Gen's sudden departure, Saionji Chikawa was already quite angry. Later, when he learned that a murder had occurred in Shibuya's central district and that the police officers present were him and Kiha Yuzu, and since he lived nearby, he decided to come over.

Central Street is a densely populated core area. If a murder occurs here and is not handled properly, and the news gets out, it could very likely trigger a media storm.

But most importantly, she wanted to see just how bold this newcomer was to leave the police station without her permission.

Did he really think that just because he solved a few cases, he wouldn't dare to touch him?

"Superintendent, we are handling a case, this one..."

Upon seeing Saionji Senkawa arrive, Kamiya Gen immediately perked up.

A higher rank can crush a lower one, not to mention this pervert is many ranks higher than him.

However, before he could finish speaking, Saionji Chikawa interrupted him without any hesitation:

"What are you doing? There are so many people gathered downstairs, and it's so late, yet you're still keeping so many people here for investigation?!"

"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, the deceased..."

"I don't care about that. This is just a matter of your ability. Investigating a case isn't about arresting everyone and interrogating them one by one. I've already heard that a high school student jumped off a building because of too much academic pressure. Countless similar incidents happen every day. If this happened at a school, are you going to detain hundreds or thousands of students and prevent them from leaving?"

She spoke very quickly, launching into a tirade against Kamiya Gen.

Everyone present remained silent, whether they were the envoys or the teachers and students, all of whom were puzzled.

Besides the pomelo.

"Go on, what kind of person is Suzuki Nao in your impression?"

The child being questioned seemed startled by the arrival of Saionji Chikawa, and upon hearing Kiha Yuzu's words, quickly whispered:

"That older sister used to give me candy... but she hasn't done it lately. It seems like she's in a bad mood every time I see her..."

"Mohe Police Department is updating!"

Saionji Chikawa's face turned ashen.

This was the first time she had encountered someone who dared to disregard her authority so much at the scene of a case.

"Didn't you hear me? Release all these students right now! Unless you have solid evidence that any of them are suspects, I'll call a meeting when I get back and discipline you!"

"Superintendent."

Mu Heyou kept taking notes without even glancing at her. "I'm quite certain this isn't a suicide. If, as you say, everyone present is released, who will be responsible if the case remains unsolved?"

"I……"

Saionji Senkawa was speechless for a moment.

"If you want to handle this, then it's up to you. But I will keep my own opinion. If the superintendent can't find out who the murderer is, I will eventually file a complaint against you according to procedure."

Muheyou reached out her hand, ready to hand the notebook to her.

Seeing Saionji Chikawa's face trembling with anger, Muhe You smiled faintly and said, "If the Superintendent General is unwilling to take over and feels that I have problems in handling the case, he can punish me according to procedure."

……

Kamiya Gen understood.

The height that Muheyou could never dream of, even if he used several pillows to support himself.

Otherwise, who would dare to talk back to the superintendent in this situation?

How did I end up with such a powerful backer without even realizing it?

Wouldn't that mean that as long as I cooperate with her more in the future, I'll eventually climb up to the top of the police force, spend all day lying in my office reading comics, and occasionally hold a meeting to reprimand my subordinates...?

Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

Wait a minute, am I being too petty?

If she can really achieve her dream of becoming prime minister or something, and even get into the cabinet, then let alone this police department, even if she faces higher-ranking officials, she will just be a subordinate who can be summoned and dismissed at will.

Hmm—why does this feel like a petty person getting their way?

"Those who have taken notes can leave now. Others can continue answering my questions, or they can write down what they know in this format and submit it to me."

The arrangement by Muheyu interrupted Kamiya Gen's thoughts.

The students obediently accepted the forms she handed out and began to write diligently.

Despite her petite stature, Muheyou exudes a powerful aura, truly possessing the authority of a high school teacher.

"Inspector Kamiya... come here..."

Saionji Senkawa gritted his teeth and called Kamiya Gen aside.

"Chief Superintendent, what are your orders? Inspector Muhe is just like this, but I respect you very much. If you want to punish her, then punish her. Actually, I was dragged here by her when I left after get off work today."

Seeing that no one was around, Kamiya Gen immediately spoke, his expression genuine.

"Is that so?" Saionji Chikawa asked.

"That's how it is." Kamiya Gen was exceptionally serious. "However... this case definitely shouldn't be a suicide, so..."

"Any questions?"

Saionji Chikawa wanted to find out what was going on, otherwise she wouldn't be able to suppress that police inspector who showed her no respect whatsoever today.

Kamiya Gen told her about the unusual things that happened after the body fell from the building, and also mentioned that there was water in the bathroom.

"Hmm... let me see."

Kamiya Gen led the way, showing her the situation in the restroom.

Next, Saionji Chikawa retrieved everyone's testimonies, and finally walked to the center of the room, speaking to Mokuhayu:

"Inspector Muhe, you graduated from a prestigious university, how come you still can't solve this after all this time?"

This time, she was full of confidence and ready to teach this newcomer a lesson.

"What are your thoughts, Superintendent?" Muheyou asked, her tone still nonchalant.

Saionji Chikawa snorted coldly, took out handcuffs from his body, and said:

"The rest of you can leave. We await further questioning from the police at any time."

She walked up to the tutor who had been standing silently in the corner, and before Takahashi Toru could speak, she handcuffed him.

"Mr. Takahashi, please come to the police station. I now suspect you are the murderer!"
