Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 199: Sakurako
After finally mustering up the courage, only to be rejected would be a huge blow to anyone.

After Gen Yuzi returned to her room, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, which made Hira Sakurako have to go back to sleep in the cardboard box. She wondered if Fushimi-kun didn't care at all? Was she overthinking? Fushimi-kun just said something in anger, and Fushimi-kun had said this kind of angry words before...

The next morning, Yuan Yuzi got up early. After washing up, she changed into her police uniform, but she was reluctant to go out to work, wanting to wait for Fushimi Shika to get up. After all, Fushimi Shika said last night, "Let's talk about it tomorrow." Now it's "tomorrow," so she should have a good chat, right?

Time passed by bit by bit, the clock ticked, and seeing that she was about to be late, Yuan Yuzi reluctantly went out.

She jogged all the way to the police station, skipping even breakfast, and clocked in for work on time.

Currently, she is doing logistical clerical work, or to put it bluntly, doing odd jobs, helping to write reports, sorting files, promoting lectures, etc. No one dares to ask her to serve tea, so her training process is relatively easy... at least 10,000 times easier than when she was a patrol officer in Sugamo Koban.

Yuan Yuzi said hello to her seniors, sat down at her workstation, and was in a daze for a while. When the archives department urged her to make progress, she patted her face, quickly bent over her desk to write the file, and submitted the report before the lunch break.

After she was free, Gen Tamako went to a convenience store to buy a bento. Sitting alone at her workstation, she suddenly felt a little discouraged, and felt that her current job was meaningless. After much difficulty, the two of them entered the Criminal Division together, but in the end, she could only do these odd jobs... I don't know what Fushimi Shika is doing now.

Haven't you gotten up yet?

Yuan Yuzi took out her cell phone, held the keyboard with both hands, stared at the screen, and puffed up her cheeks.

It was she who first discovered the new clues of the Heavenly Punishment Case, but Fushimi-kun left her alone to investigate, and now he is even in a cold war with her... Even if Fushimi-kun is angry with her, he should at least report the progress of the investigation, right? Aren't they a team? In the face of major issues, at least put aside personal emotions and investigate as a united front, right?
Yes, that's right, she just wanted to ask about the progress of the investigation, not to talk to Fushimi-kun.

Yuan Yuzi pressed the keyboard with her thumbs and typed in the text message box, carefully considering her tone and thinking about each word for a long time, for fear of making Fushimi-kun unhappy again. After finally finishing writing, she read it over and over again four or five times to make sure there was no problem, and then pressed the send button.

She felt relieved for a moment, but then she felt anxious again.

Yuan Yuzi waited for more than ten seconds but didn't receive a reply, so she put her phone aside in a huff, tore off the plastic wrap of her lunch box, and planned to concentrate on eating.

She took a bite of rice, glanced at her phone, took a bite of rice, and glanced at her phone again. When she was almost finished, her phone buzzed. She quickly put down her lunch box and opened her phone. It turned out to be an insurance push advertisement. She was so angry that she immediately blocked the other party.

"Really, why hasn't he replied to the text message yet? What on earth is that guy doing?" Yuan Yuzi couldn't help but mutter.

……

According to the routine of conventional TV dramas, when the heroine sent the text message, the hero was experiencing a life-and-death crisis, so he had no time to reply to the text message, which eventually led to a complete breakdown of their relationship. The audience felt anxious, heartbroken and stomach-aching.

But it was different for Fushimi Shika. He was lying on the sofa watching TV. He saw the text message but did not reply.

How could he possibly tell Yuan Yuzi about the progress of his investigation? If he told the truth, what difference would it make to him wearing his underwear outside?
But then again, reading the message without replying was indeed a bit too much. Fushimi Shika reflected on it for a second. In order to atone for his sins, he lay down in a more comfortable position and called Satake Gen to ask about the progress of his investigation.

"Why rush? The results will be out tonight."

Gen Satake didn't want to talk any more and hung up the phone.

Fushimi Shika curled his lips, slightly dissatisfied, but as he needed help from others at the moment, he couldn't say much. He simply pretended nothing had happened and continued watching TV - people who do big things are like this, they must keep calm in everything.

Ajun barked, and Fushimi Shika glanced back and found that Ping Yingzi was secretly observing him. The look in her eyes looked like she was thinking about how to put him in the refrigerator and cook him.

This little guy is closer to Yuan Yuzi, maybe he was infected by Yuan Yuzi's negative emotions.

Fushimi Shika waved to Sakurako and asked her to come closer. Sakurako hesitated for a moment, thinking that Fushimi Shika was now disabled and could not move, so she dragged the cardboard box to the sofa.

"Do you think I'm being unkind by hurting Tamako's feelings?" Fushimi asked. Ping Yingzi looked suspicious and said 'hmm'.

Since jumping out of the car, she has become a little braver. Although she still speaks very little, at least she can communicate normally with Fushimi Shika.

"You should have heard it that night, right?" Fushimi Lu didn't intend to hide it: "Now that Yuzi knows about that, what do you think I should do?"

"Of course we have to find a way to keep it secret." Ping Yingzi suddenly realized.

"Ha! So you really heard it!" Fushimi Shika's expression changed immediately and he sat up straight: "Little girl, tell me the truth, what did you hear when the crime happened?!"

Ping Yingzi slid back into the cardboard box, turning into a coward, without saying a word.

"I'm teasing you!"

Fushimi Shika patted the cardboard box and said, "Now that you know the truth, we are on the same boat. You have to help keep it a secret from Tamako and coax her from time to time, okay? Don't forget your last name now. If Yuan Tamako breaks up with me, you will never see her again... Besides, this is for her own good."

Seeing that Ping Yingzi didn't respond, Fushimi Shika took out his wallet, pulled out two bills, and stuffed them in through the gap: "Here, the commission money."

Ping Yingzi took the money and said through the cardboard box: "Tamako and I are great friends."

"So what?" Fushimi Shika raised his eyebrows.

"You have to pay extra." said Ping Yingzi.

Fushimi Shika groaned, wondering who this guy learned this money-hungry personality from. He added two 10,000 yen bills, and only then did Hira Sakurako give up, carrying the cardboard box back to her room to read a mystery novel.

The brother and sister stayed at home all day, and when Gen Tamako came home from get off work, they felt guilty and hid in their own rooms (Hira Sakurako huddled in a cardboard box), which made Gen Tamako even more depressed and felt isolated.

Without replying to her messages or saying anything, was Fushimi-kun really going to break up with her? Gen Yuko felt like she was going to get Yu Yu syndrome.

Fushimi Shika also felt that it was not a good idea to drag it on like this. The guilt in his heart had escalated from one second to two seconds - although he didn't know who the sender was, he had already begun to hate that guy.

Why do you pry into other people's privacy? People like this really deserve to die...

Fushimi Shika had insomnia for the first time in a long time. He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. At one o'clock in the morning, his prepaid mobile phone suddenly rang. He answered the call in seconds: "How is it?"

"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" asked Gen Satake.

"That's bad news." Fushimi Shika was mentally prepared. If Satake Gen said there was no progress, he would do it himself.

"The scapegoat doll was caught." said Gen Satake.

Fushimi Shika slowly sat up, licked his lips, and asked, "What's the good news?"

"I found out who arrested him... To be precise, it's not a single person, but a cult."

Gen Satake paused and asked, "Have you heard of Aum Shinrikyo?"
