Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

Who exactly is his ex-girlfriend?

In the end, Fujino still didn't ask the question.

He didn't even hold the tripartite meeting; he simply arranged a consultation time with Haruhi for next week.

That's so weird.

He guessed the beginning, but not the end.

After seeing off the two people who seemed to be very much in love, he sat in his office lost in thought.

Shimokitazawa is truly a place that produces many talented people.

Nakamura Sai,

Her every move was backed by profound psychological knowledge, allowing her to manipulate Shinya Kasuga completely.

Kasuga is careful,

The seemingly innocent and harmless herbivore boyfriend actually had another girlfriend while maintaining a perverted relationship with Nakamura.

Fujino rubbed his temples, regardless of whether Nakamura had said anything else correctly.

He had no objection to the fact that at least the two of them were hentai.

Actually, Fujino originally wanted to say that locking the two of you together was a good thing, it was good for everyone.

However, he realized a problem.

If Haruhi's hentai was induced by Nakamura, can we still blame him entirely?

It's important to understand that everyone has a dark side.

However, due to legal or interpersonal reasons, most people will hide this side of themselves.

If someone with ulterior motives like Sai were to guide them, it would be very easy...

Is there ulterior motive?

guide?

No, why does this plot feel so familiar to him?

This Nakamura Sai must have studied under Himegami Ayame, right?

How come their behavioral logic is exactly the same?

Fujino frowned and circled the notes of Nakamura and Kasuga's conversation in his notebook.

The malicious intent is entirely unfounded, targeting people with psychological defects, and employing the same psychological manipulation tactics.

He suddenly circled the place name "Shimokitazawa" in his notebook.

Yes!

This is the location where Himegami Ayame was active, as emphasized by Ukyo at the Metropolitan Police Department.

The clues have come together.

It seems that having them focus their attention on Kitazawa was a lucky accident.

Although his reasoning stemmed from the fact that Shimokitazawa had a large number of disillusioned artists who were more easily manipulated, Kasuga's experience seemed to have truly brought everything to a close.

He took out his phone and dialed Yamagami Ukyo's number.

"Ukyo-kun, how did your investigation in Shimokitazawa go last time?"

"I don't have any clue. Shimokitazawa is still too big."

"I'll provide two names and investigate their surroundings; they might be related to Himegami Ayame."

"Oh?" Yamagami Ukyo's voice clearly carried a hint of surprise.

No, we've only been apart for a short time, and you already have a lead?

He suppressed his confusion and doubt, held the phone between his cheek and shoulder, took out his notebook, and opened the pen cap: "Go on, I'm listening."

"Shimokitazawa High School, Nakamura Sai and Kasuga Shinya."

Yamagami Ukyo wrote down two names.

Shimokitazawa High School... was a place I hadn't noticed before.

After all, the clues suggest that Himegami Ayame should be a caring older sister figure, and the character they portrayed is probably a gentle and intellectual woman between 25 and 33 years old.

But they overlooked the fact that this older sister could "help" high school students.

All that could be heard from the receiver was Fujino's voice:

"Especially Nakamura Sai..."

The image of the obedient girl with the jellyfish-like hair kept flashing through Fujino's mind, constantly overlapping with the image of Himegami Ayame in his imagination.

Could a teenage high school girl really master such a perverted skill?

No way.

In other words, she has a mentor behind her.

Fujino was so excited that he felt cold, his skin felt cold, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

This might be the closest he's ever come to catching Himegami Ayame.

"...I suspect that Himegami Ayame is behind her, and that she has been providing her with technical support."

Ukyo nodded slightly and called out to his underlings, "Now, put aside what's not important and put aside the port area for a moment. Focus on investigating the clues she left behind near Kitazawa High School."

Kaoru Hanayama curled her lip. She was the unlucky one in charge of the port area. She had even just tracked down a suspected residence of Ayame Himegami, and her subordinates were still keeping an eye on her.

So they're actually going to shift all their focus to Shimokitazawa?

Are you kidding me?

All my efforts have been in vain, just because the boss received a phone call?

She can't accept it.

"Ukyo-senpai, we've just made a slight breakthrough in the port area—"

Before he could finish speaking, Ukyo suddenly interrupted Hanayama Kaoru's complaints with a cold arrow: "It was Fujino who provided the clue, there's no mistake. Have Oguri Inspector and a few others keep an eye on the port area, but focus on Shimokitazawa!"

Upon hearing that it was a lead from Fujino, Kaoru Hanayama nodded without offering any further objections, then turned and left to assign tasks to his patrol officers.

She had witnessed Fujino's incredible psychological treatment skills and was even more certain that he was not the kind of person who spoke without reason.

However, the woman in front of her in the port area was someone she had been tracking for quite some time. She had spent a lot of effort to bring the patrolmen to this apartment to keep watch.

Unexpectedly, the focus of the investigation was shifted to Shimokitazawa because of a single sentence from Fujino.

She sighed; she had no choice but to obey the inspector's decisions and orders.

I just hope my colleagues on the Shimokitazawa side don't give themselves away.

......

On the other side, Fujino showed no unusual behavior.

He put away his phone and left work with Saki.

Then I went to work as usual every day.

If there is a scheduled appointment, go to the clinic to see patients.

When he wasn't on duty, he would sit in the office across from Mitsuki Takanashi's, enjoying the office and the service without any legitimate reason.

Sometimes it was in his own office, sometimes it was across the hall; it all depended on Fujino's preference.

When he doesn't want others to know, he will choose his own fully functional door; otherwise, the broken door that the little bird swims through is more exciting.

He was thinking about private things today, so he was sitting in his chair.

He gently stroked Kotori's hair, but his mind was on Kasuga's follow-up appointment.

Investigating cases is the job of the guys in the Metropolitan Police Department; he's only responsible for providing ideas and intelligence, and he can suspect anyone without even having evidence.

He's not an investigator, so he doesn't need to talk about procedural justice.

Based on his experience, Himegami Ayame has a penchant for committing perfect crimes.

This can be seen from his first few patients.

They were tricked by Himegami Ayame into doing those outrageous things; strictly speaking, Hanako, Saki, and Yui's actions could all be considered crimes.

They had hardly ever met each other in person.

He asked Saki these past few days, and she had only spoken to the other party on the phone and heard Himegami Ayame's voice.

Yui was contacted via email, and no voiceprint could be extracted from her.

Because Hanako still has to work, we arranged to meet on the weekend, and we'll find out what's going on with her then.

It's all shrouded in mystery.

I had tried to curry favor with Mr. Hatoyama in order to obtain the qualification for the specialized medical examination, but I ended up with this job.

Is it a blessing or a curse?

Thinking about this made him angry again.

It's really uncomfortable to have someone else's leverage over you.

Like previous leaders and deans, Fujino probably had no other choice at first.

But he still yearned for freedom and liberation.

At least give the other person some space to vent.

That would be best for everyone.

Fortunately, Mr. Hatoyama didn't press too hard, and even casually said that it was okay if the matter wasn't resolved.

But Fujino knew that if he didn't do this well, Mr. Hatoyama would continue to exploit him endlessly.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.

He picked up the mirror on the table and looked at his face.

It was somewhat gloomy.

Is this still the same sunny and positive Kazuhiko Fujino?

The sound of a bird swimming came from under the table at just the right moment. He smiled and placed the mirror in front of her: "Look at what you look like now."

Koki squinted and muttered softly, "How can I see that clearly? ~ Get a little closer..."

Fujino slumped heavily against the back of his office chair.

"Want a mirror?"

"Come and get it yourself."
