Despite her seemingly poor marksmanship as a police officer, Higashimatsu Yamako is a remarkable woman.

But she is quite strong; in her daily life, she is definitely a strong woman.

Especially now that she has been promoted to criminal police officer, she has become even more demanding of herself.

Logically speaking, even in front of him, she shouldn't easily reveal such emotions.

When we contacted each other before, she always said in a lighthearted tone that she was fine, but now...

"If anything happens, perhaps I can help."

Sensing the weariness in Higashimatsuyama Daiko's voice, Lin Yu spoke earnestly.

If there's a particularly difficult case, or if it involves a major criminal, he might be able to offer some assistance.

"It's hard to say right now, I'm not entirely sure either..."

"Don't be a riddle teller at times like this. Tell me what you think or what you've discovered."

"You know, I write novels, and many times in many novels I like to write this kind of plot, where other people discover something but don't say anything because they're not sure."

"In the end, I never even had a chance to say it."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Higashimatsu Yamako on the other end of the phone was immediately amused.

"You said it yourself, it's a novel."

"Actually, it's nothing major, but while investigating the case, I discovered some strange things..."

When this was mentioned, Higashimatsuyama Shiroko's tone became a little hesitant, and then she slowly began to narrate.

According to Higashimatsuyama Yoko's description, while investigating a yakuza arms deal, she discovered that many of the weapons did not match the agreed amounts.

At first, she didn't think anything of it.

However, as she continued her work, she noticed that similar incidents were becoming more and more frequent.

She vaguely felt as if she had come into contact with a colossal creature hidden in the darkness.

The feeling is like sitting on a boat sailing on the sea, and then spotting a small, pointed object on the surface of the sea beside you.

Curious, I peeked down and wow, what I saw was an iceberg!

"After experiencing these things, I feel like my daily work has become different."

"No matter what I do, I keep running into obstacles. My work is full of trivial matters, and I'm doing almost the same things as before..."

When these things were mentioned, Higashimatsu Shiroko felt somewhat helpless.

As a police officer with a strong sense of justice, Higashimatsuyama Shiroko's only thought is to do her job well.

Everything else paled in comparison to the justice and ideals she upheld.

But now, before her ambitions could even unfold, reality has dealt her a painful blow.

Hearing Higashimatsu Yamako's words, Lin Yu roughly understood a few things.

It's likely that Higashimatsuyama Daiko's actions touched upon the interests of some powerful force, and perhaps she had been warned beforehand.

However, for the sake of her ideals, Higashimatsu Shiroko still chose to go her own way.

Now that they've been set up, for some powerful and influential forces, dealing with a lowly policewoman with no background is an incredibly simple matter.

The isolation she faces from her colleagues is the best proof of this.

Nobody wants to get into trouble.

"Sometimes I wonder if I really don't have the talent for this line of work."

"If you're not suitable, I can't think of anyone else who could do this job."

Lin Yu jokingly comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. Since these things have happened for now, you shouldn't do anything else."

"I'll make time to help you later."

"you?"

"No, no, this is my business. How can I involve you? Besides, these things involve so many people; it's really not safe..."

“You are the one who is not safe. If there is any trouble, the two of us together can always help each other.”

Lin Yu interrupted Higashimatsuyama Daiko and said seriously.

On the other end of the phone, Higashimatsu Yamako pursed her lips; she knew Lin Yu was right.

With her skills and her mediocre marksmanship.

If something really happens, they'll be powerless to resist.

But if Lin Yu were there...

A faint sigh came from the other end of the phone.

"Let's not talk about that now. I called you today because I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

Upon hearing this, Higashimatsu Shiroko asked curiously.

"I wanted to ask if you have time. I just bought a house and moved in. I'd like to invite some friends over for dinner."

"Moved to a new house?"

"When, today?"

In response to Lin Yu's words, Higashimatsu Shiroko spoke in a light tone, a stark contrast to her previous somber demeanor.

"That depends on when you have time, after all, your current situation..."

"I have time anytime!"

"I'm fine now, and nobody at the bureau is paying attention to me."

Higashimatsuyama Shiroko spoke casually about being isolated.

"Let's do it tonight then. I'll send you the address later. I'll show you my cooking skills tonight."

"no problem!"

"I'll come over as soon as I get off work!" said Higashimatsuyama Daiko with great enthusiasm.

"Okay! Let's agree on that then."

After hanging up the phone, thinking about what Higashimatsuyama Daiko had said earlier, I felt somewhat helpless.

Given Higashimatsuyama Shiroko's personality, she would definitely not do anything like going along with the wrongdoing.

The idea of ​​remaining untainted by the mud is most likely to provoke rejection from those around you.

Everyone else is dressed in black, but you're the only one in white who stands out. If they don't reject you, who will they reject?

The only thing Lin Yu hadn't expected was that Higashimatsu Yamashiro would be rejected so quickly.

It should take at most a month.

"What exactly did they find out that's so serious?"

Lin Yu shook his head; he didn't know what to say about Higashimatsu Yamako's luck.

The previous incident involving the Zhuhuangquan Clan, plus the present situation.

Most importantly, even based on Higashimatsuyama Shiroko's description, he didn't know what had happened.

If they knew, they might be able to recall memories of their past life, and perhaps even find some clues.

Putting that matter aside for the time being, Lin Yu picked up his phone and dialed another number. This time it was Nanako Ohara.

"Nanako, are you free tonight...?"

After calling Nanako Ohara and the Nohara family and receiving confirmation, Lin Yu rode his bike to the kindergarten.

Matsuzaka Ume and the others are all in kindergarten; we can just invite them directly and ask them.

When we arrived at the kindergarten, Takakura Bunta was standing at the entrance.

While Lin Yu was parking his car at the kindergarten, Matsuzaka Mei and the others had already changed their clothes and were getting ready to get on the school bus to pick up the children.

"Wait, I have something to tell you."

Lin Yu quickly waved his hand and said to the group.

Chapter 114 Fellow Villagers in Chinatown

Faced with Lin Yu's invitation, Matsuzaka Ume naturally didn't need to say much and agreed without hesitation.

The remaining students, including Takakura Bunta, readily accepted the offer and planned to bring some gifts after school before heading to Lin Yu's house together.

Having notified everyone and with everything ready, Lin Yu felt a surge of excitement.

Having been in this world for so long, to be honest, he has never properly cooked a meal.

They usually just eat simple vegetarian meals or go to restaurants outside.

Everyone was itching to grab a bite, and some were even craving something sweet.

During class, Lin Yu made a list of the things he needed to buy, planning to go shopping after school to avoid forgetting anything in the rush.
