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

"I'll answer the phone first."

Ignoring his shock, Muheyou took her phone and walked out of the water room.

Only Kamiya Gen remained standing there, staring at himself in the mirror, unable to utter a word for a long time.

What exactly happened? Why did it turn out like this?

He wanted to continue shaving, but his hands wouldn't obey him and kept trembling uncontrollably.

I put away the razor, then splashed some hot water on my face, trying to clear my head.

First of all, let's be clear: I must have been drunk to agree to this.

Inspector Muhe is cute and comes from a good family, but... in short, he's not quite right for her.

He had only considered climbing the social ladder by clinging to powerful figures before, so why was he suddenly being asked to become a live-in son-in-law? This didn't fit his expectations at all.

I wonder if her mother would think of her as a toad trying to eat swan meat...

Will they just throw tens of millions of yen at me and say something like "Leave my daughter"?

Kamiya Gen was lost in thought. As he left the water room, he saw that Kiha Yu was still on the phone. Feeling a little embarrassed, he avoided her gaze and went back upstairs.

The room was still a mess, and he had no intention of tidying it up. He simply grabbed a clean police uniform, put it on, and went out of the room again.

Just then, I saw Muhe You waiting downstairs for me to go to the police station together.

"Well, remember now? You promised me last night."

Muheyou spoke naturally, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

"Yes, you should... could you put in a good word for me with Inspector Sakamoto about my absence this morning? You two are on good terms."

Kamiya Gen wanted to change the subject, wondering if he was being too conservative, since the girl seemed so relaxed when it came to meeting the parents.

Hearing him say that, Mu Heyou, as usual, put on a serious face and said earnestly:

"Absenteeism should be punished, Kamiya-kun, this is not right. I have accepted reality openly, but you have no manly spirit at all and do not know how to take responsibility."

"What responsibility are we taking?"

Kamiya Gen just wanted to protest his innocence, "Nothing happened between us, you go back to your dorm, and I'll..."

Thinking of Ohno Satoshi, he found it difficult to speak, but gritted his teeth and continued, "Anyway, how can it be so fast? There are still a lot of procedures to go through before we can meet your mother."

"What's the procedure?" Muheyou asked.

What process...?

At least there needs to be some ambiguity, then you need to express your feelings, confirm the relationship, get to know each other for a while, and then discuss meeting up.

Kamiya Gen thought this, but couldn't bring himself to say it.

He slowly stopped, feeling that he should at least first explain his values ​​to the other party: "Inspector Muhe, supplementary police officer."

"What's wrong???"

Muheyou couldn't understand why he suddenly became serious, but she stopped as well.

"That's how it is..."

Kamiya Gen took a few deep breaths and finally said slowly, "Perhaps I said some drunken things last night and caused you to misunderstand, but I really didn't consider such a thing. It's too early. Just pretend I didn't take responsibility. Or maybe we should take it slowly..."

"What exactly is Kamiya-kun talking about?"

Muheyou reached out and touched his forehead. "You don't have a cold, but why are you acting so strangely?"

Looking at her face, Kamiya Gen realized that she didn't seem shy at all, and wondered if he was overthinking it. He then tentatively asked:

"Why did you let me meet your mother?"

Muheyou withdrew her hand, and because it was too cold, she breathed on her palm, the white mist disappearing in an instant in the cold air.

"Didn't I tell you last night? After learning about Ms. Suzuki's case, she thinks you are very capable and have a promising future, and she might want to promote you."

"Is that all?" Kamiya Gen asked.

If someone else said this, he would feel that they were indirectly implying something to him.

But who is Inspector Muhe? If she had that kind of brain, she wouldn't be sporting three dark red blobs of evil thoughts.

Police cars were parked in the distance; it seemed that several thugs had been arrested and taken to the police station.

Kamiya Gen had no interest in these external matters; he only wanted to find the answer from Muhe You's expression.

However, the other party simply nodded and made no further comment.

……

Surprisingly, the police inspector did not criticize him and Muheyou for their absenteeism.

The other people in the police station acted as if nothing had happened, continuing with their usual routines as if the two hadn't missed a single morning's shift.

However, some of the male police officers looked at Kamiya Gen with a much stronger sense of jealousy than before.

Kamiya Gen had nothing to say about this.

Just like some birds are born to be caged, they are born to attract attention.

What can be done?

For example, even though he has been keeping a low profile, he has still attracted the attention of major families in Kyoto. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, his future career will surely be smooth sailing.

Oh, and I also need to make sure my confidante—that is, Muheyou—doesn't make any mistakes.

If she's too eager to realize her evil ambition of becoming prime minister and accidentally causes some big trouble, leading to the innocent suffering of her family, then she herself might also be finished.

When dealing with work, Kamiya Gen had already decided that he should have less contact with Matsumoto Teng in the future.

Although the other party is considered a smart person in the underworld, these days they know to open a micro-loan company instead of collecting protection money like everyone else.

But after all, he was involved in organized crime, and he must have done a lot of illegal and criminal things.

Getting too close to him will only get you into trouble.

How can one become a great person then?

Indeed, after talking with Yuzuki, Gen Kamiya has confirmed that meeting the parents is definitely not some trivial matter of love and romance.

It was that important figure in Kyoto who truly valued his abilities and was considering promoting him.

As for Matsumoto Teng's illegal and disorderly conduct, and the fact that he himself had several lives on his hands and was not a good person at all, Kamiya Gen had long since selectively forgotten that.

……

That's just how people are. If you just want to get by, you'll feel that working hours are extremely long and that staying at your desk every day is pure torture.

But if you have something to strive for, you have inexhaustible energy. Before you know it, it's almost time to get off work—actually, he was so sleepy that he took a nap, and when he woke up, it was already dark in Shibuya.

When I swept through the office again, I found that Muheyou had long since disappeared.

I asked a colleague and learned that she had already left in the afternoon to submit various materials to her superiors.

"They say all criminal investigation personnel will be on duty next week, in preparation for cracking a major smuggling case. I don't know if the news is true or not, but the higher-ups seem to be taking it very seriously..."

The speaker was Takeuchi Takayuki, who had a fairly good relationship with Kamiya Gen in the Criminal Investigation Division, since the two sat next to each other and would often chat.

Kamiya Gen nodded, knowing that Kiha Yu had indeed listened to him and had not attributed the source of the information to him.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, there's something else."

"What?" Kamiya asked, thinking that he hadn't finished some work.

"Around 5 PM, a girl came to the police station and said she needed to talk to you, but you were sleeping. I told her you were busy, and she said she could wait for you, so she stayed..."

Kamiya Gen frowned and asked疑惑地问道, "Is his name Miyazawa Yao?"

"Yes."

Takeuchi Takayuki leaned closer to him, glanced around, and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't worry, I've arranged for her to sit in waiting room number six. Inspector Kihara doesn't know..."
