Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head and interrupted Nohara Anko's words.

"I'm not trying to comfort you, Xingzi. You really helped me a lot this time."

"We'll talk about this later. Now, go call the police."

"My phone is in my bag. I'm a little weak right now. Please help me call the police."

"Just say there's been a murder here. Ask the police to come quickly."

Uesugi Kiyoshi leaned against the wall, put his hand on Nohara Anko's shoulder, his eyes deep - he didn't want Nohara Anko to turn around and see the Shura-like scene in the living room of the apartment, which would probably scare the little girl silly on the spot.

Today's incident is weird inside and out.

The fight was so intense over there, why didn't any of the neighbors come out to check?

It was clearly a busy area like the port area, so why didn't he meet many pedestrians on his way here?

Why did Yokotano become like this? Where did his mirage come from? Why can evil spirits escape from the ghost realm? Or is Yokotano really an evil spirit?

If so, who is the mastermind behind this? Who is the owner of the statue? What exactly is the statue?

All kinds of doubts surged into his mind, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart was in a mess. He could only wait until this happened before thinking about it slowly.

Now, the top priority is to call the police.

When he first came to Yokota's house, he did not expect the scene before him. He thought that Yokotano was bewitched by the evil spirit and wanted to come here to enter the evil spirit's ghost domain, kill it, and collect some mirage energy. As for whether he could rescue Yokotano, it was up to fate, but at least he could not let Nohara Anko fall into the evil hand.

But as soon as he arrived here, he got into a life-and-death fight with Yokotano, who was obviously not a good person, and he didn't have a chance to catch his breath.

Now that the fight is over, there are many more difficult things to deal with.

For example, how do you explain this scene in front of us?

It is impossible for him to run away. His whereabouts along the way are clearly traceable. If the police want to check him, they will know within five minutes that he brought Nohara Anko to Yokota's house today.

Two people died here, and it is unrealistic not to alert the police. If the crime of murder is put on him, it will be very bad.

So, he decided to call the police first, at least to get the upper hand and stand his ground.

Let the police handle the aftermath work, and let them worry about the miserable and strange corpse.

In the final analysis, he was acting in "self-defense" rather than "committing a crime", and with Nohara Anko's testimony, the probability of him getting away with it is very high.

As long as he can deal with the police, today's incident will end perfectly. He is only sixteen years old, a minor, and the police may not be able to do anything to him.

By the way, he could also test the police's reaction to see whether the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had experience in dealing with such bizarre incidents - this was very important.

If there was, he might be able to get more mirages.

Yes. He wants to take food from the police's mouth!

Evil spirits are nourishment for him to become stronger!

Chapter 29 Akutagawa

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the stars hang high in the sky.

Late at night.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sat in front of a desk with a calm expression and deep eyes, his hands clasped on the table, and on his wrists there was a pair of glittering "silver bracelets" - he was handcuffed.

In front of him was a bento box that looked tempting and smelled good - it was a side dish for teriyaki chicken. Although chicken in Japan was not expensive, it was much better than the bento boxes he usually ate, but he did not even pick up his chopsticks.

Having seen too much blood today, he has lost his appetite.

He is now in Kasumigaseki 2-machime, Chiyoda-ku, inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building, commonly known as "Sakurada Gate".

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the police department in charge of public security in Tokyo. It has more than 40,000 police officers - a huge number. The ratio of residents to police officers in Tokyo is 300 to 1. Tokyo is the safest city in Japan, and these police officers have made an indelible contribution.

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was calm, different thoughts were rapidly turning in his mind.

He shouldn't have come here.

There are 102 police stations and more than 800 public security offices in Tokyo. Even if what happened at Yokota's house was classified as a serious case, he would at most be invited to the police station in Minato Ward for tea. How could he have directly alarmed Sakuradamon and been sent to the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters?

There is only one answer.

Those police officers must know something - they know that this case is beyond the level of ordinary people and the local police station cannot handle it.

This is the most reasonable explanation that Uesugi Kiyoshi could come up with.

After he was sent in, he was left here. During this time, a young policeman came in and brought him a lunch box and a glass of water. He gently asked him to wait for a moment and someone would take his statement later. His attitude was very good and polite. Anyway, Uesugi Kiyoshi could not find any fault with him.

Nohara Anko was taken away by a gentle-looking female police officer, and she would probably be questioned separately.

Naturally, he had no objection, and in fact, he didn't feel there was anything to panic about.

From a third party's perspective, he was also a victim of what happened at the Yokota residence. Yokota Yoshiko was chopped into pieces by Yokotano himself, and all the evidence at the scene could prove this. Yokotano himself could not escape the charge of being a murderer, and although he fought a life-and-death battle with Yokotano, he definitely did not leave any fatal injuries on Yokotano's body.

Yokotano was not hacked to death by him. He only left a knife wound on Yokotano's back and slashed his chest with a wooden sword, but these did not cause death.

The real cause of Yokotano's death was that his mirage was shattered by the "Heart Slash", separated from his body, and he lost his source of power, which led to the collapse of his body functions. No matter how professional the police forensics were, they could not attribute this cause of death to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

The only tricky thing is that there might be Uesugi Kiyoshi's fingerprints on the bone-chopping knife that was twisted into a twist. However, this is easy to explain. The time of Yokota Yoshiko's death and the time when Uesugi Kiyoshi arrived at the scene do not match at all. He is sure that he cannot take the blame for Yokota inexplicably.

Moreover, while waiting for the police to arrive, Uesugi Kiyoshi had repeatedly instructed Nohara Anko several times and checked her statement with her - he did not teach Nohara Anko to lie, this little white rabbit did not look like the type who would not lie. He just asked Nohara Anko to tell the police truthfully about the strange things in Yokodano, and then repeat what happened today verbatim.

So, in the eyes of the police, the image of Uesugi Kiyoshi is probably - an ordinary male high school student who sends his classmates home, has excellent kendo skills, is attacked by Yokota Noboru who has turned into a monster at Yokota's house, fights with him and narrowly wins.

After escaping from danger, he immediately called the police. Not only was he not at fault, he was even meritorious. This is completely worthy of a certificate of commendation for bravery from the Metropolitan Police Department. If he is lucky, he can even get some reward. This is not a joke, there are precedents for such things.

As for how he defeated the monster and how Yokotano died, he had already prepared a plan in mind. As long as the police came to question him, he was sure that he would be able to fool them. He was not a simple little girl like Nohara Anko.

Japanese police dare not torture suspects, and they don't even dare to be too harsh. If the news gets out, it will be reported by the media and the people will point fingers at and scold them, which may ruin their careers. Not to mention that Uesugi Kiyoshi is still a minor. Even if he killed someone, he cannot be sentenced to a heavy punishment - if he is under the age of fourteen, he will probably be released after a statement is taken at the scene. Japanese law is ridiculously tolerant of minors.

In general, Uesugi Kiyoshi has nothing to fear. Even if something unexpected happens, he can contact his master to resolve it. That is the last resort, and he doesn't want to cause too much trouble for his master.

This is the advantage of practicing martial arts. Even in desperate situations, you have the strength to fight for your life, and you will never be too desperate. As for the pair of silver bracelets, Uesugi Kiyoshi is a man who is very cruel to himself. He is confident that he can remove the handcuffs within two seconds by dislocating his thumbs, and then restore the dislocated knuckles without hindering him from making a fist and hitting people.

He had a plan in mind and was not panicked at all. He was already thinking about the changes in Yokotano and where the "Super Department" of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was and how strong it was.

Outside the door of the interrogation room where Uesugi Kiyoshi was, a thin figure was standing by the window in the corridor.

Windbreaker, silk scarf, black hat, and black jade cane.

It was that "colleague" of Kudo Yuichi.

The man in the black hat was leaning against the wall at this time, playing with his black jade cane, staring at the door of the interrogation room with a thoughtful look.

Before, he was just about to go up to Yokota's house to check out the situation, but just as he stepped into the door of the apartment building, he felt a sudden burst of extremely powerful extraordinary power upstairs, and at the same time, there was a sharp momentum like a sword being drawn from its sheath.

The feeling was fleeting, and in less than three seconds, he clearly felt that Yokotano's extraordinary ability reaction had disappeared.

He was so shocked that his eyes widened - the field agents had once surveyed the strength of Yokotano's extraordinary abilities and finally determined the danger level of the incident to be "regional" level.

In other words, Yokotano has the ability to cause chaos in a district of Tokyo - without any interference from supernatural powers.

That's why he sent people to evacuate the crowd to prevent greater casualties. This is his job.

It’s not that Black Hat can’t handle regional-level incidents—that’s not difficult—but he doesn’t think he can kill a regional-level ghost or god in three seconds.

Even if his ability is not known for his "explosive power", this is still a bit scary. He is just a sixteen-year-old boy!

Just when he was thinking about whether to go up and meet with Uesugi Kiyoshi directly and extend an olive branch, he received a call from Kudo Yuichi. The "great detective" told him that Uesugi Kiyoshi had called the police and the police would rush to the scene soon.

After hanging up the phone, the man in black hat pondered for a moment, but he was no longer in a hurry. Because of Kudo Yuichi, their organization had a significant say in the police system. Once they entered the Sakurada Gate, many things became simple.

He simply left the apartment building and drove directly to Sakuradamon to meet Kudo Yuichi, and made a few requests by the way.

Then he just waited here.

While the man in the black hat was lost in thought, the crisp sound of leather boots hitting the ground came from not far away. He glanced at it and a somewhat fake smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Kudo Yuichi narrowed his eyes, changed into casual clothes, stepped on small leather shoes, and walked over slowly.

He stopped beside the man in the black hat, stuffed a certificate into his hand with a cold face, and then whispered something.

"This is the last time. Don't bother me about this kind of thing anymore!"

"With this, you are qualified to interrogate the suspect, and no one can find fault with you. You are smart enough to know that someone in the Sakurada Clan is against us, and you can find a way to act according to the rules."

"Be polite to Qing! If you two were to fight, I would definitely not help you!"

After saying that, Kudo Yuichi snorted coldly and turned away.

Being treated coldly, the man in the black hat was not angry at all. He shrugged, nodded, looked at the documents in his hand, and pushed open the door of the interrogation room with a gentle smile.

There were dried blood stains on Uesugi Kiyoshi's clothes, his face was cold, and his eyes were a little gloomy because he had just killed a demon. At first glance, he looked a bit like a perverted murderer in a movie.

The man in the black hat had a calm and decent smile and behaved politely, looking like a traditional Western aristocrat.

The two men looked at each other for three seconds.

Then, Black Hat's smile grew even wider.

He walked quickly to the interrogation table and sat down, waving the certificate in his hand, which was not yet warm, in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Uesugi-kun, right? Good evening."

"You can call me Inspector Akutagawa. I will ask you a few questions."

Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, his attention drawn to the name on the ID card that the man in the black hat showed.

He repeated the name slowly in his mind.

"."

"Akutagawa Ryunosuke?"

Chapter 30 Interrogation

Uesugi Qing raised his eyes slightly, with no trace of sunshine or rain in his eyes, and he silently repeated the name in his heart.

After a breath, he smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"Inspector Akutagawa, your name is really... quite literary."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was a Japanese literary giant who was born in the Meiji era and died in the early Showa era. His works have been included in Japanese textbooks and read by students across the country. He has a significant influence in the Japanese literary world.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Ogai Mori and Soseki Natsume are known as the three great masters of Japanese literary world in the first half of the 20th century. Eight years after Ryunosuke Akutagawa committed suicide, his lifelong friend Kan Kikuchi established the "Akutagawa Prize", a literary newcomer award named after him. This award still carries a lot of weight in the hearts of newcomers in the literary world.

The Inspector Akutagawa in front of him might just be a person with the same name. Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke carefully, and he was not in a relaxed mood. He vaguely felt a sense of threat from the person in front of him.

Maybe it was the keen intuition brought to him by practicing kendo, or maybe it was the baptism of mirage that enhanced his sixth sense, anyway, he subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with Akutagawa Ryunosuke in front of him.
