Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

Standing in the courtyard, Fujino looked tense.

Numbers without caller ID...

What does this mean?

He didn't know, but he dared not be negligent.

In his previous life, he had heard that some high-ranking political figures used such dedicated lines, and the only person he knew who could be considered a political figure was Mr. Hatoyama.

He couldn't afford to offend the other party.

He gave a slight bow to the professor, then rose and walked to the end of the corridor. Pushing open the sliding door, the biting cold wind instantly dispelled the smell of alcohol from his body.

"Dr. Fujino, I am Mr. Hatoyama's secretary."

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and restrained, exuding an unquestionable sense of authority.

Get straight to the point and prioritize efficiency.

"Hello, Mr. Secretary, please speak."

"You've worked hard on the specialized medical exam. Mr. Hatoyama asked you to accompany him to an internal meeting in a couple of days. It will be held in a high-level conference room at the Metropolitan Police Department. A car will pick you up from the hospital tomorrow, understand?"

Fujino nodded on the other end of the phone, then realized that the other party had not received a response.

"Understood, I will attend on time."

Efficiency prevailed; without waiting a second, the secretary simply replied, "That's good," and hung up the phone.

Fujino stared blankly at the bitter bamboo in the yard.

Mr. Hatoyama had shown a particular interest in Himegami Ayame, and he couldn't think of any other connection to going to the Metropolitan Police Department.

In other words, has the case against Himegami Ayame been officially filed?

Is he about to be drawn into a vortex of state violence and high-level power?

He was not averse to it, and even wanted to actively participate, as long as he could bring Ji Gong Changpu to justice.

When I returned to the private room, the banquet was almost over.

Saki was looking at him with concern.

Fujino gently shook his head, indicating that he was alright.

However, under the deliberate advances of his colleagues, Fujino soon became somewhat intoxicated, slumped onto the table, and stopped moving.

Professor Kasai smiled and squinted: "Who was it that took Fujino-kun home last time? I can't quite remember."

Everyone looked at Saki with mischievous eyes.

Saki blushed slightly, but still met Kasai's gaze: "Professor, I'll take Fujino-san home, please don't worry~"

Professor Kasai, holding a glass of sake, took a sip with a grin:

"What do I have to worry about? Your safety is the most important thing."

"Hahaha! The professor can tell jokes like that?"

"Pfft—hahaha."

Hearing Professor Kasai's lewd remarks, Saki turned her head away, her ears turning bright red.

What do you mean by "never fixing it"?

If safety measures were truly necessary, that would be one thing, but she...

Last time, I was just forced to sleep by Fujino for one night.

She considerately draped a coat over him, and amidst the envious and awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, the two walked out of "Oborozuki Night".

Only Kotori Yukari, sitting in the private room, stared at their retreating figures, unwilling to look away for a long time.

Professor Kasai simply shook his head and sighed softly.

You were the one who targeted Fujino back then, so why are you acting like this now?

Is it just a little girl trick to attract Fujino's attention?

Mitsuki Takanashi... there's no going back in life.

......

The neon lights on the streets of Tokyo near midnight have a cold, clear glow.

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Fujino gradually regained consciousness.

Softness is the only tactile sensation.

He squinted, adjusting his eyes to the light inside the car.

Even so, the surrounding area remained a mass of blackness, even showing latitude and longitude lines...

That scared me to death.

Fujino couldn't help but sigh.

I thought it was some kind of illness, but it turns out it's just Saki's black stockings.

He understood the situation; he was now lying comfortably on Saki's lap.

However, he knew the truth in his heart.

A new storm has emerged.

He didn't have much time to react.

The Neurology and Psychiatry Physicians Association is quick to produce results, and he will soon have to adapt to the new work rhythm.

To see those more difficult and complicated diseases, and to help children raised in strange families regain their health.

He had no choice but to take on the responsibility.

By the way, does this promotion mean I'll get a raise?

buzz-

The vibration of his phone made him tense.

Saki was fast asleep and was not woken up by him.

Fujino knew she couldn't drink alcohol.

It might just be the alcohol vapor in the room that was enough to make Saki dizzy.

Let her take a nap a little longer.

Fujino tiptoed out of his phone, the contents of which made him even more reluctant to wake Saki.

"Yukinoshita Yui: Fujino-sama, the new house is all renovated. When can you move in? It has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and it's well-ventilated from north to south."

He glanced at Saki.

Her tiny nose was still contracting, her eyes were twitching, and her cherry-like mouth was still panting, exhaling a sweet fragrance.

How can I tell her?

So, Yui Yukinoshita has already prepared a new house?

But this three-bedroom, two-living-room layout clearly allows them to decide who gets to live there.

This would be considered a luxury mansion in Tokyo.

Let's not tell Saki yet.

Although I am nominally a sub-landlord, it is ultimately Yui's house.

We still need to discuss it with him.

......

The next morning, Fujino stood at the hospital entrance.

He was waiting for the car arranged by Mr. Hatoyama.

He found the Passat by the license plate number and sat in the back seat.

"Fujino-san, I am Kenji Kusakabe, Mr. Hatoyama's secretary. This is my contact information."

The man in the suit and glasses in the passenger seat suddenly turned to Fujino and handed him a business card apologetically.

"Well......"

Fujino didn't understand why he was suddenly so enthusiastic, but he still nodded and accepted.

"Fujino-san, I was not very polite to you yesterday. Mr. Hatoyama has already reprimanded me. If you need anything in the future, please just call me and ask. Don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, Fujino roughly understood what had happened.

Most likely, Mr. Hatoyama learned what had happened and felt that Secretary Kusakusa was being too negligent, which might affect his work enthusiasm, so he gave her a reward.

He was naturally happy to see it happen.

As the saying goes, even a seventh-rank official is no match for a prime minister; being Mr. Hatoyama's secretary was no easy task.

Even a lowly secretary can often be of great help to him.

Therefore, he wouldn't reach out and hit the smiling man.

He extended his hand to express goodwill and to shake hands in reconciliation.

Sensing Fujino's sincerity, Kusakabe smiled, grasped Fujino's hand tightly, and shook it repeatedly.

......

Metropolitan Police Department.

No one dared to linger in the vicinity, but because of Mr. Hatoyama's reputation, the Passat drove directly into the parking lot.

Greeting them in the lobby was Kaoru Hanayama, a policewoman who could be described as the "flower of the First Investigation Division".

Although she deliberately kept her hair short and wore a masculine makeup style, Fujino could still see her delicate features. If she changed into a different outfit and stood in Shibuya, she could easily pass for a landmine girl.

It is said that Mr. Hatoyama has not yet arrived due to other commitments.

Kaoru Hanayama could only lead Fujino and his secretary upstairs first.

Kaoru Hanayama hated being called "Kaoru-chan," so Fujino only dared to call her by her first name. He lowered his voice and asked:

"Xun, what's going on here?"

"Fujino-san, this is a strategy meeting regarding Himemiya Ayame. I don't know why you were called here..."

Before they finished speaking, they arrived at the conference room of the First Investigation Division, which was also the command center for tracking Himegami Ayame.

Yamagami Ukyo was frowning as he looked at a map of Bunkyo Ward. On it, the locations corresponding to many photographs were marked with thumbtacks.

The sound of the door opening startled him, seemingly interrupting his train of thought.

Ukyo frowned and lowered his voice, preparing to scold Hanayama Kaoru who opened the door.

But then she saw her secretary and Fujino behind her.

He hurriedly stood up and bowed to his secretary:

"We didn't expect you to come in person, Mr. Kenji. We were just organizing our thoughts to report to you."

The secretary glanced at her phone and pursed her lips:

"Mr. Hatoyama has something come up..."

He pointed to Fujino beside him:

"...I'll trouble you, Inspector, to report the situation to Mr. Fujino."
