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

Just then, the pager on Kamiya Gen's waist beeped.

After reading the message, he got out of the car. Instead of looking for a public phone booth as usual, he took out the cell phone that Mu Heyou had just given him and dialed the number on it.

To be honest, I'm not used to it yet, since I haven't used this thing for several years.

"Nozaki has been found and is on his way back to Shibuya. It should only take about half an hour. Should Inspector Kamiya come over?"

Lu Chuanqingzheng didn't waste any words and spoke directly on the other end of the phone.

Kamiya Gen was slightly taken aback, not expecting that he would make progress so soon after talking to Muhe You about this.

He thought for a moment and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, I'll bring Inspector Muhe along."

Although Lu Chuan and his group all called her "Silly Goose Miss," Kamiya Gen didn't have that habit.

"Is that so? That makes things much more convenient. Then I won't entertain you any further. You should know the person who served the young lady earlier, right?"

"That...Igarashi guy?" Kamiya asked, not really remembering the name.

Earlier, actually yesterday.

When Kamiya Gen told Kiha Yu that he could take Nakano away from Harukawa Trading Company, Rikukawa Harumasa did not come out to receive him, but arranged for someone else to do so.

"Yes, Igarashi Nagisa, you may not have met her before, but the young lady has seen her when she came here before," said Rikukawa Harumasa.

"That's fine, I'll head over there then."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Kamiya Gen returned to his car.

Mu Heyou didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls, but seeing him return, she immediately came over and asked:

"How come I didn't notice before? Inspector Kamiya is so busy. I just gave you a cell phone, and you already have people wanting to contact you..."

"What kind of look is that? It's like you're interrogating a criminal."

Kamiya Genji fastened his seatbelt and said speechlessly, "It's a message from one of my informants, from Harukawa Trading. It seems they've found Nozaki and are bringing him back to Shibuya."

Mu Heyou became visibly excited and quickly said, "Really? Then let's go there right now..."

As she spoke, she frowned again, "How come the police didn't catch anyone, but the company people beat them to it? This procedure is completely irregular."

"Do you still want to arrest the criminals? Why are you worrying about this? Just treat them as my men. The procedures are definitely compliant."

"Fine..." Muheyou couldn't argue with him, after all, that was the current situation.

"Let's not rush over there. Let's find a place to eat. I haven't eaten anything since I woke up," said Kamiya Gen.

Muheyou didn't dwell on it. Anyway, the prisoner was there, and he couldn't escape sooner or later.

As the vehicle drove on, she belatedly realized something and asked:

"How come you have so many informants, Kamiya-kun? It was the same in the previous smuggling case, and it's the same now. You seem to know a lot of people in the company."

"You think I've been hanging around Shibuya for nothing? This is what you call skill; who here dares to disrespect me?"

Kamiya Gen had already prepared an excuse for this question, and when he said it, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, speaking in a very arrogant tone.

I thought Muheyou would complain, but to my surprise, she just nodded and didn't say anything.

"What... do you also think I'm amazing?" he asked, sounding somewhat unsure.

"He's really impressive. If Kamiya-kun didn't become a policeman, he might be quite good at being a gangster too." Yuzu finally accepted this joke.

The car came to a stop at the entrance of Shibuya's central street, with brightly colored signs hanging on both sides of the shops.

It wasn't noon yet, but Central Street was always bustling with people, even on weekdays.

Gen Kamiya pointed to a restaurant, then unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car: "This place is famous for its tempura. I've eaten here a few times when I passed by while on a case."

Muheyou got out of the car, her gaze sweeping over the crowd queuing at the entrance. She raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't expect Inspector Kamiya to know about food. I thought you only knew about instant noodles and convenience store rice balls."

"If you don't insult me... we can actually have a proper chat. Wait, why don't you take off your police uniform and put it in the car first? Aren't there plainclothes officers? Why do you always have to wear this jacket?"

In terms of clothing, the police inspector is not that particular, and the two of them are currently on leave. Kamiya Gen himself is not wearing a police uniform at all, and he doesn't understand why Kiha Yu is always wearing that dark gray coat.

It's not that she doesn't look good; she has the natural beauty to look good in anything.

But they were quite eye-catching. The two of them had come in a police car and were wearing those clothes... so they attracted attention wherever they went.

"oh--"

Muheyou responded, took off her coat, and put on a casual outfit from the back seat.

"That's much better."

Kamiya Gen looked at her coat and said.

The silly penguin is cuter.

The two then went into the restaurant and found a corner to sit down.

When the menu was handed to him, Kamiya Gen ordered a tempura set meal, miso soup, and a serving of fried chicken. He then turned to ask Kihachi Yuzu:

"What would you like to eat, Miss? It's on me today, don't be shy—consider it a thank you for the phone."

Muheyou flipped through the menu, her fingertips tracing the names of the dishes, and finally chose a chicken and egg rice bowl and a vegetable salad. As she put the menu down, she added:

"You're welcome. The cell phone is for your work anyway. Sometimes it's inconvenient for me to contact you via walkie-talkie... after all, I don't know if anyone else is on those communication channels."

After ordering, the two sat down and continued chatting.

Basically, it will happen after we go to Qingchuan Trading Company.

"They have a branch office in Hokkaido and a wide network of connections. Finding someone would be a piece of cake for them."

When Yuzuki asked questions like, "Why did this company manage to find Nozaki?", Gen Kamiya responded with a rapid stream of nonsensical remarks.

Actually, there were no branch companies; these were originally the influence of the Muhe family.

As they spoke, the dishes were served one after another.

Kamiya Gen moved his chopsticks very quickly, clearly he was really hungry.

Muheyou, on the other hand, moved slowly, but her gaze kept glancing across the street.

There's a barbecue restaurant there, with a very upscale decor; it's the same one that I went to eat at with Kamitani Gen before.

The two of them were still kissing and cuddling in the private room at the time...

Looking at that barbecue restaurant, Muheyou's cheeks secretly flushed.

She secretly glanced at Kamiya Gen across from her; he was engrossed in eating fried chicken nuggets, completely disregarding table manners.

"What are you looking at?"

Kamiya Gen looked up and met her gaze, then casually asked.

Mu Heyou quickly looked away, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said to cover it up:

"Nothing much, it just looks like the barbecue restaurant across the street is quite lively."

Following her gaze, Kamiya Gen glanced at the shop and said dismissively:

"This place doesn't look very good."

—It seems he really has no recollection of it at all.

Mu Heyou sighed softly in her heart, but said the same thing aloud:

"Really? Then I'll avoid it. I'm planning to try it out sometime."

She didn't dare mention what happened that night, knowing that if she did, the other person would just scratch their head and say "How could that be?", which would only make the atmosphere more awkward.

Kamiya Gen was oblivious to her thoughts and continued rambling about Harukawa Trading.

As Muheyou listened, her gaze kept drifting to the opposite side until the door of the barbecue restaurant was pushed open and someone walked out chatting and laughing. Only then did she turn her gaze back and lower her head to eat her salad in small bites.

……

After finishing their meal, Kamiya Gen saw that it was about time, so he drove her to Harukawa Trading Company.

The office building of Harukawa Trading Co., Ltd. is located in the core business district of Shibuya. It was almost noon, and the sunlight shone on the glass curtain wall, making it look magnificent.

Kamiya Gen parked the police car in the underground parking lot and followed Kiha Yu into the lobby. The receptionist immediately stood up and nodded respectfully upon seeing Kiha Yu—clearly, she had received instructions from the top management.

A moment later, a woman in a black suit skirt walked over quickly.

She walked straight up to Mu Heyou, gave a slight bow, and said in a respectful yet distant tone, "You've arrived. Please come in."

After that, she turned to Kamiya Gen and said, "Inspector Kamiya, please..."

Seeing this, Kamiya Gen thought to himself that this so-called Igarashi seemed to have rather low abilities.

Logically speaking, Rikukawa Harumasa should have told him that he was the one officially liaising with the company, and that Muhe You was just accompanying him.

Why is it that as soon as he sees his young mistress, he can't help but bow to her first?

However, it seems that Muheyou didn't notice this detail.

"This way, please."

As he spoke, Igarashi's gaze swept over Kamiya Gen beside him without making a sound.

Kamiya Gen didn't pay attention to her gaze and stepped into the reception room.

The interior features a minimalist Japanese style, with dark solid wood furniture paired with a light beige carpet, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the bustling streets of Shibuya.

After Igarashi Nagisa led the two to their seats, she immediately ordered tea to be served. Throughout the meal, her gaze remained fixed on Mokuha Yuzu, and her tone was respectful to the point of humility.

"Would you like to try this tea and see if it suits your taste?"

Kamiya Gen was about to drink tea, but seeing this scene, he got up and said he needed to go to the toilet.

"This way, please..." Igarashi frowned slightly, but still spoke.

The two walked out of the reception room, and after confirming that Muhe You wasn't behind them, Kamiya Gen whispered, "Didn't Lu Chuan explain it to you clearly?"

Igarashi paused, then shook his head, saying, "You mean... I just arrived in Shibuya last night..."

Kamiya Gen explained the current situation, adding at the end, "I'm too lazy to cover for you guys; it's already a troublesome matter, but..."

"I understand!" Igarashi quickly bowed apologetically, "I didn't know there was such a thing. I thought it was just a simple matter of helping the young lady solve the case."

"Alright, let's go back."

Kamiya Gen waved his hand and walked back to the reception room.

Muheyou was still drinking tea, clearly unaware of anything unusual.

Seeing Kamiya Gen enter, she quickly whispered, "People here are still the same. I came last night, and instead of discussing important matters, they just kept bringing up other things..."

"They're just giving you face. After all, she's Shibuya's top policewoman, and maybe even the youngest acting inspector in all of Japan. Any normal person would be very respectful, right?" Kamiya Gen said.

Yuzuki has always been a very thoughtful person, but hearing Gen Kamiya praise her like this, she was a little taken aback, and couldn't help but smile:

"Well, it's not that bad..."

"Idiot, of course you're not that amazing. If it weren't for your status as a young lady, do you really think people would respect you this much?"

Kamiya Gen thought to himself, but said aloud, "That person has disappeared again... What are we doing sitting here like this?"

Just then, Igarashi walked in.

This time, her attitude had clearly changed. It wasn't exactly cold, but she wasn't as humble towards Mu Heyou as before, adding in a calm tone:

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I just checked and the car that's blocking Nozaki is still on its way. It should arrive in about ten minutes."

She picked up the teapot and refilled their cups, her gaze shifting smoothly between them, no longer lingering on Mu Heyou alone.

"While we're at it, I'll show you both the previous arrest information to avoid any delays during the handover later."

As she spoke, she took a printed document out of her briefcase and handed it to Kamiya Gen.

The document clearly and concisely lists the time, location, and circumstances of the arrest.

As Muheyou took the copy from Kamiya Gen and looked down to examine it, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

She has always believed that arresting suspects is the duty of the police, and now that they have to rely on a company, she feels that this goes against the original purpose of policing.

This was especially true after seeing such a complete arrest file.

Kamiya Gen quickly scanned the documents, then looked up and asked, "Is Nozaki emotionally stable? Does he show any signs of resistance or self-harm?"

"He cooperated well during the arrest and is currently being looked after by two security personnel. He is calm and has not shown any unusual behavior."

Yuzuki interjected, "You arrested these people in Hokkaido, didn't you contact the local police?"

"That's too slow," Kamiya Gen explained. "They contacted the Hokkaido police, and they need to coordinate with us there. They might even have to send someone over... Anyway, it's fine for now. We've caught the person. When you report it later, just say that it was an informant you arranged who caught him."

"Should I report it?" Muheyou asked.

"I'm too lazy to do these things... I still need to go to the hospital to change my dressing later," Kamiya Gen said.

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Mu Heyou nodded: "Okay..."

Nagisa Igarashi stood to the side the whole time without saying a word.

He simply watched the two interact quietly, thinking that the young lady seemed to listen to this man quite well.

She had never met Yuzuki before coming to Shibuya. She had always worked under Mikiko Kizuki and only heard that the young lady had a very fiery temper and never listened to anyone since she was a child. But now it seems that there is someone who can keep this young lady in check.

Could they be in a relationship?

Nagisa Igarashi couldn't help but ponder, looking Gen Kamiya up and down.

This man is indeed handsome... I wonder how capable he is, especially if he inherits the Muhe family business in the future...

Wait, I just did something wrong, shouldn't I hurry up and try to please him?

It must be very difficult to please a young lady; otherwise, how come no one has ever succeeded in doing so?

Just then, her cell phone rang. After answering the call outside and returning, she spoke to Kamiya Gen and the other person:

"Gentlemen, the person has arrived downstairs."
