Redeem the fallen girls, but they come after you

Shirakawa saw that Miike hadn't responded for a while, and vaguely sensed her pain through the screen.

Yes, Miike's obsession with being a partner of justice was fulfilled through being a police officer. She must have felt uncomfortable when she suddenly heard the chief say in person that she wanted to expel her from the Metropolitan Police Department completely.

Shirakawa: Miike, you don't have to be a police officer to be a partner of justice. As long as your words and deeds are upright and just, you can be considered a partner of justice.

Miike: Thank you for your concern.

Tears welled up in Miike Naeko's eyes, the message on the screen became blurred, and her tears hit the screen, soaking her mobile phone keyboard.

The last remaining hope is gone...

I lost my job completely, and all my hard work since childhood went down the drain.

Although Shirakawa was trying to comfort her, the ideal of being a partner of justice was actually getting further away from her.

Shirakawa: If you could do it again, would you let Akiyama Yayoi go? Would you swallow your anger and let the criminal escape justice?

Miike Naeko wiped the wet screen with her sleeve and continued sending messages.

Miike Naeko: No.

Shirakawa: Yeah, so, you are a partner of justice. Since what you do is just, then what is the point of going against a partner of justice?

Miike: A minion of evil.

Shirakawa: That's right! They are the minions of evil. You were just framed by the chief's minions. Now I need you to work with me to bring these minions to justice. So dear Miss Miike, are you willing to fight alongside me?

Miike Naoko looked at the message and her hands trembled with excitement.

It was as if a lonely ship lost in the ocean had found her lighthouse.

Yes, even if she doesn't become a police officer, she can still be a partner of justice and a partner of Shirakawa.

Even without this identity, she can still uphold justice and find ways to bring criminals to justice, although it is more difficult than before.

Miike Naeko: Of course, I will lend you a hand.

Shirakawa: Then I feel relieved.

After this consolation, Sanchi probably feels a little better, and now we can discuss countermeasures.

Shirakawa: First of all, can the things they mentioned about drugs in the recording be used as evidence of their crime?

Miike: It's difficult. If it's just a recording, the media exposure often doesn't generate that much attention. We need to find more substantial evidence.

Shirakawa: What negative effects does the drug have on users?

Miike: In the initial stage it is almost equivalent to a strong eyebrow medicine for women, but it is addictive. Long term use will cause mental abnormalities, and if it is not controlled the whole person's mental state will be ruined.

Shirakawa: I see.

This drug must be eradicated.

Shirakawa: If I post the photos of these people and the gambling sites I took for you online, will law enforcement agencies come and arrest them?

Sanchi: The only legal gambling is pachinko and horse racing. Although casinos can be opened in Taipei recently, it should not be allowed here. It should be okay to expose it to the media, but...

Shirakawa: But what?

Miike: I have seen a lot of people playing here, some of them are congressmen, company owners, and some media workers. If you go to report something, you may easily come back empty-handed. Besides, if non-law enforcement personnel take secret photos, it is itself an illegal act. If they are not caught, you may be arrested first.

It turned out to be the case.

These minor illegal acts on the underground floor can be covered up, so there are no security guards at the gate. But going down further, it may not be that easy.

Baichuan kept fiddling with his phone, and Jackie, who was left aside, came over to look at the screen together.

"Xiaobai, you also know the police?" Jackie asked in surprise.

"Shh~" Baichuan looked around vigilantly, "Don't talk, just watch."

Shirakawa: So how can we expose it to the media so that we can destroy this place?

Sanchi: We need more credible evidence, such as account book details, transaction records, etc.

Shirakawa: I understand.

If you want to get more information, you need to go deeper.

To do this, you still need to find the invitation letter and ID card.

Shirakawa: Then I'll go home and meet and talk.

Baichuan stood up and walked out the door.

"Why are you going back so soon?" Jackie asked.

It was obvious that she was still a little unsatisfied with her "adventure" with Shirakawa.

"I can't help it. Without an invitation letter and an ID card, I can't let you go down alone. Who knows what monsters there might be?"

Baichuan and Jackie went upstairs and returned to the commercial street.

"Well, my mood is really ruined. I didn't eat well, I was caught cheating in the card game, and the adventure wasn't fun at all." Jackie stretched.

However, Jackie learned a lot about Baichuan, so this trip was not in vain.

"I apologize for your unpleasant experience today, but apart from the cheating incident, winning is winning. The smart Baichuan saw through everything and defeated the stupid Jackie!" Baichuan said with a smile.

"Hateful!" Jackie lightly hit Baichuan.

"Okay, no more jokes. Seriously, Jackie, don't try to be brave and come to a place like this to investigate alone." Baichuan's expression turned serious and he warned.

"Got it! You too, next time you come looking for evidence, be sure to call me along."

Jackie didn't want to miss such an interesting thing.

Although dangerous, it is interesting, just like the hypnosis school incident.

"Of course." Baichuan agreed readily.

With someone to accompany him, Baichuan could feel somewhat relieved.

"Then...see you at school tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow!"

The two of them walked towards their homes on the commercial street.

106. Warm Home

"I'm back!" Baichuan returned to the entrance and changed his shoes.

There were large and small bags of luggage piled up at the door.

"Welcome back." Miike replied.

It feels a little warmer when there are people at home.

Miike Naeko was sitting at the dining table, wearing a skimpy blue nightgown, looking at her laptop.

The eye sockets were still slightly swollen.

Next to the notebook was an empty plate covered with food residue and used chopsticks.

Shirakawa pulled out a chair and sat next to her, while Miike Naeko pushed her notebook forward.

The two continued chatting along the topic they had previously discussed on the phone.

Shirakawa told Miike what he had seen and heard, as well as his various speculations about the principal making pills and selling them at the school.

Miike also revealed all the relevant information about her case to Shirakawa.

"So, the source of all the pills is related to Sakuraritachi High School." Shirakawa said.

"That's right, so your guess should be correct. The culprit of all this should be Principal Kato."

"I also heard that many students in the school have been aborted by that pill. Can this be used as evidence of their crimes?"

"In fact, both are possible. However, since that place can accommodate people like Principal Kato and Director Shimizu to have fun without restraint, it is estimated that the status of the owner behind this store is higher than that of both of them. The strength of the two of us alone is far from enough."

"Didn't we say before that we can just take the evidence and expose it to the media?"

"I did say that the customers there are a mixed bag, and I'm not completely sure of success..."

As time went by, the problem became more and more troublesome.

Unless you find a backer with enough power and status to help you solve these problems...

Wait, powerful?

"Miike-sister, have you ever heard of the surname Xingmiya?"

"I know a little about it. It's the largest consortium in Neon, and it has many industries in the commercial street." Miike replied.

Cecilia also told me about the danger of the Xinggong family, but other than that, there was no other way.

Maybe I can still make use of the power of the Xinggong family?

It's not impossible. Shirakawa and Midukana also coaxed Xingmiya Xi, although it was only for one day, but they never treated her badly.

It should be possible to ask her for help.

"Shirakawa, I hope you don't get too deeply involved in this matter..." As a partner of justice, Miike Naeko has an extraordinary awareness. Even if she encounters danger, she will get to the bottom of this matter.

But Baichuan is different. But she doesn't want Baichuan to get hurt. He is still a high school student and his bright future cannot be ruined.

"It's okay, Sister Miike." Shirakawa comforted, "In fact, I am also a righteous partner. The principal and the director hurt my classmates and teachers, and I can't just sit there and watch."

Teacher Akita might have been abducted, and Midori Sakura was almost drugged by Akiyama. For the safety of these girls, Shirakawa must find a way to bring them down.

Hearing those familiar words, Miike Naeko felt that she was finally not fighting alone, and she leaned forward and gently hugged Shirakawa.

The familiar physical contact reminded Baichuan of the fierce battle last night, and the holy sword involuntarily drew out of its sheath.

Very inappropriate.

Shirakawa gently pushed Miike away, and while feeling embarrassed, he picked up the dirty plates and chopsticks on the table.

"Let me do it." Sanchi was about to get up.

"It's okay, just take a good rest, I'll do it."

Baichuan took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen and washed and rinsed them.

The pot on the gas stove was filled with slightly burnt, mushy rice.

It seems that Miike’s cooking skills are not very good.

Baichuan took a bite and found that too much salt was added and the dish was overcooked, so it was salty and mushy.

Humans simply can't eat this kind of thing.

But Sanchi actually ate a whole plate of it.

Shirakawa used the remaining ingredients to make fried rice again.

She must be feeling bad since she just resigned. Baichuan planned to comfort her a little in this way.

Although not as good as Kana, it tastes okay.

Shirakawa filled a bowl and placed it next to Miike.

"No...I'm not hungry..."

"It's okay. Eat a few bites if you're hungry. Put the rest in the fridge."

"Thank...thank you." Miike Naoko thanked him, her eyes fixed on the screen. She typed much more slowly, trying her best to hide her shyness.

After leaving home and entering society, no one cared about her anymore.

"You're welcome."

Shirakawa glanced at the screen and saw that Miike Naeko was looking for a job on a recruitment website.

"I can't always live in your house." Sanchi explained with a wry smile.

"It's okay. It's okay for you to stay here forever."

Shirakawa has free coupons for basic food and accommodation, so more people actually means more pairs of chopsticks.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
