Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

That night was so passionate that Hashimoto Reia begged for mercy without needing Otto Ping S or Wakasu's assistance.

Masahiro Hanyu knew when to stop. Although the disappearance of the first two investigators was not the work of the killer, he remained vigilant, as investigating the killer was, after all, dangerous.

The investigation team was secretly protecting him, though it's unclear whether this included when he was at home.

Hashimoto Reia slumped in his arms, her voice gentle, "Please forgive me, Yuzuru-kun. I said I would repay you, but I still have to follow Kami Masato. If I worry too much, I won't be able to ride a motorcycle anymore."

"When I'm no longer needed to track you, I definitely won't beg for mercy. Then Ottopin S can be used."

This Miss Rea is always serious about what she promises and keeps her word. The fact that she said this shows that she has truly reached her limit.

Women are not all the same, and men are not all the same. Is Lady Nagiharu's strong desire simply because she has a higher tolerance for desire? If given the chance, should he give it a try?

Masahiro Hanyu always felt that there was some clue hidden in this matter, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

He whispered words of comfort to Hashimoto, and the two of them fell asleep without realizing it.

As dawn broke and Masahiro Hanyu was about to get up, Reia Hashimoto also woke up.

Her skin was smooth and silky, and as her graceful body slid down, he released himself once again.

Hashimoto felt he hadn't done enough after begging for forgiveness last night and wanted to make amends at any moment.

After washing up, the two went downstairs for breakfast. Masahiro Hanyu assigned Rea Hashimoto a task:

She continued to monitor Masato Kami with her sisters, but instead of following him, they used high-powered binoculars to observe and record the daily routine and schedule of Okubo's mother.

They observed Masato Shin's Honda NSX, recorded its parking location, the surrounding environment, and filmed the scene.

Based on the current clues, Masato Shinki is likely a participant or informant in the assassination, so a thorough investigation must be conducted on her.

The East Asia Association has high-powered telescopes; you can contact Okita Kyōkyu to send one over, ostensibly to monitor the surrounding area of ​​Lady Nagiharu's residence.

Filming requires a camera, which Masahiro Hanyu had. He explained how to use it in detail, and it was actually very simple. Rea Hashimoto learned it very easily.

In order to avoid having their commissions deducted, they must find the killer and the mastermind within a month, and five days have already passed.

Given the time constraints, Masahiro Hanyu appropriately reminded Rea Hashimoto, and the two separated after their kiss.

Hashimoto Reia's motorcycle was parked downstairs at the apartment building, chain-locked to a utility pole. She was now riding it to the vicinity of Mrs. Nagi Haru's residence.

Waving goodbye to Hashimoto Reia as she rode away on her bicycle, Yuzuru Masahiro went to a public phone booth and called Okita Kyōkō, asking him to deliver the high-powered binoculars to Hashimoto.

Then he prepared to take a car to the Showa Building in Chuo Ward. His current identity is an employee of Nagasawa Architectural Office, and he needs to go to get off work and leave work as usual.

The station is less than a ten-minute walk from the apartment building. Masahiro Hanyu walks through a small alley, crosses the road ahead, and walks another two minutes to reach the station.

He walked to the end of the alley, where there were no pedestrians. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest and inexplicably sensed danger.

This was a psychological intuition he had from always being vigilant, and because of this intuition, he instinctively retreated quickly back into the alley.

In that instant, a medium-sized truck suddenly sped past him; if he had been a step slower, he would have been hit squarely.

The truck had no license plate, and by the time Masahiro Hanyu looked over, it had already turned the corner and disappeared from sight.

This was an assassination attempt against him! Masahiro Hanyu had no doubt about it.

He turned his head and looked around. The fact that his movements were so accurately tracked meant that someone must be following or monitoring him nearby.

Looking around, he didn't see anyone suspicious. Perhaps the other person was hiding in a room, which was why he couldn't find them.

At that moment, he noticed a middle-aged woman walking quickly toward him. Yuzuru Masahiro pulled his wrist back and gripped the tactical pen hidden in his sleeve.

When the middle-aged woman passed by Masahiro Hanyu, she did not stop, but simply said in a low voice, "I am 7193, get in the taxi in front."

In the pager code that Yui Satsuki gave him, 7193 meant the Investigation Department, a secret known only to insiders.

At one end of the alley, a taxi was parked. Masahiro Hanyu walked over without hesitation, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.

The driver turned around and said, "I'm 7193. I've discovered an assassination attempt targeting you. I'll take you to the Showa Building."

Instead of going straight, the driver turned and took a detour, dropping Masahiro Hanyu off at the Showa Building.

Throughout the entire process, the driver did not communicate much with Masahiro Hanyu, only saying that this kind of targeted assassination was very professional, and that although there were people from the investigation department protecting him, he himself had to be even more careful.

Before he even entered the building, Masahiro Hanyu's pager went off. It was an unfamiliar number, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

After the call connected, a man's voice came through, "Hello, is this Mr. Yuzuru? This is Keio University Hospital."

"Ms. Hashimoto Rea's motorcycle brakes failed, and she crashed at the Nishi-Shinjuku intersection, fracturing her tibia. She is currently being treated in the emergency room, and she asked me to inform you."

Brake failure! This is no coincidence.

It can be concluded that the assassination attempt was not targeted at him alone; fortunately, Hashimoto Reia is still alive.

This was an assassination specifically targeting the detective investigating Lady Nagiharu. It occurred after he started following Masato Kami, making Okubo's mother even more suspicious, although there was no evidence yet.

Masahiro Hanyu remained calm; in situations like these, composure is even more crucial.

Hashimoto Reia only suffered a fracture and was being treated; he didn't need to rush over.

After entering the Showa Building and going up to the seventh floor, he met Yui Satsuki in the head office of the Nagasawa Construction Department.

Satsuki already knew about his and Hashimoto's assassination.

"The head of the investigation department told me that the department takes this matter very seriously and will strengthen protection for Yuzuru Hanyu. However, Hashimoto Rea is not on the protection list. After all, the investigation department's manpower is limited, so I suggested that she stop participating in the investigation."

Masahiro Hanyu nodded. "That's what I was thinking too. Also, I'd like to request the investigation department's assistance in conducting some investigations."

Yui Satsuki didn't hesitate: "Okay, I'll handle the communication."

After thinking for a moment, Yuzuru Masahiro said, "Please have the investigation department investigate the Honda NSX driven by Mrs. Nagi Haru and Mrs. Okubo's mother, Masato Kami. I would like to have listening devices and locators installed in both cars and record the findings for me."

Yui Satsuki hesitated for a moment, "I see. You should know that installing eavesdropping and tracking devices is against the law."

Masahiro Hanyu's expression was serious. "Is assassinating me legal? If I die, the investigation department will have to start all over again if they want to investigate the Fusheng Society."

Yui Satsuki was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "What Yuzuru-kun said makes sense. I will try to get this done from the investigation department."

Masahiro Yuzuru bowed slightly. "Thank you. President Satsuki, you've worked hard. Also, I've found something that could prompt the investigation department to pay more attention to this case."
