Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

The aphrodisiac tea that caused the two detectives to lose control and make love is explicitly described by Yoshihei Okita, president of the East Asia Association, as a sacred tea.

Masahiro Hanyu has only heard the term "sacred tea" from the Fusheng Association so far.

Yui Satsuki frowned slightly. "What a coincidence? Yoshihei Okita actually used the sacred tea."

Yuzuru Masahiro's tone became more serious, "If it were just a coincidence, it wouldn't matter. Okita Yoshihei just happened to obtain the sacred tea and knew that it had a strong aphrodisiac and hallucinogenic effect, so he arranged for the two detectives to drink it."

"However, coincidences are a matter of probability, but what's worrying is not coincidences."

Satsuki Yui's peach blossom eyes flickered. "What does Hanyu-kun mean?"

Masahiro Hanyu said seriously, "What I'm worried about is that the Holy Tea has already entered the top echelons of various yakuza organizations, and the East Asia Association is just one of them. The Holy Tea has not yet been promoted within yakuza organizations and is still in the stage of testing its effects."

"Once its effectiveness is recognized, what will happen after Holy Tea is promoted in various yakuza organizations?"

Yui Satsuki's expression turned serious. "If this happens, the yakuza members will lose control, various heinous crimes will occur frequently, and Tokyo's public security will deteriorate."

Yuzuru Masahiro looked at her and said, "This is just the surface. The real problem is that the Fusheng Society will control various yakuza organizations."

"But if we consider it on a deeper level, is the Fusheng Society merely trying to control yakuza organizations? Or do they have far greater ambitions?"

"President Satsuki, your identity is Nagasawa Mio. Inoue Kazuhiko, a mid-level key member of the Fuseikai, is trying to control you through me."

"So what are the other senior members and key figures in the Fusheng Society doing?"

Satsuki Yui's breathing became rapid. "The Fusei-kai...do they intend to control all of Tokyo?!"

Masahiro Hanyu's expression turned grave. "Perhaps the whole of Japan?"

Yui Satsuki stood up, then sat down again. "This information about Yuzuru is extremely important, and the investigation department will definitely take it seriously. I think... the Metropolitan Police Department will agree to your request."

Masahiro Hanyu left the Showa Building and took a taxi arranged by the investigation department to Keio University Hospital.

Hashimoto Reia's leg injury has been treated, and she is lying in a hospital bed.

Besides the fracture, she also had a few abrasions, but they were not serious.

Hashimoto clearly remembered checking the motorcycle's brakes yesterday, so he was certain that it was caused by someone deliberately sabotaging it.

"Hanyu-kun, it was my carelessness, but the task of tracking and monitoring Masato Kamishiro won't be delayed. I've already notified a few of my sisters, and they should be arriving soon."

Masahiro Yuzuru shook his head. "For now, you and your sisters don't need to monitor Masato Kaname anymore, because it's indeed dangerous. Due to our investigation, assassins are launching an attack on you and me."

He then recounted how he nearly got hit by a heavy truck, and Hashimoto Reia's eyes widened as she reached out and grabbed Hanyu Masahiro.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have accepted this request, but what should I do now? Yuzuru-kun... if something happens to me, I won't forgive myself."

Her hands were slightly cold and even trembling; she was genuinely worried about him.

Masahiro Hanyu smiled. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. I'm more worried about your safety here."

"After your sisters arrive, they should take turns taking care of you and stop following and monitoring Masato Kagami."

As the two were talking, the ward door was pushed open, and three tall figures filed in.

They were all dressed in typical Tokyo biker girl attire. Short black special attack jackets were open, revealing white bra straps and tight leather pants.

The three girls quickly went to the bedside and inquired about Hashimoto Reia's injuries. After confirming that it was just a fractured tibia without any other internal injuries, the three girls turned to look at Yuzuru Masahiro.

A girl with bangs that reached her eyebrows, thin eyebrows and big eyes, squinted and stared directly at Masahiro Hanyu's face, her gaze so direct and undisguised, without the slightest bit of shyness that an ordinary girl would have.

"That's really rare."

Her voice carried a languid, husky tone characteristic of girls from the streets of Tokyo, "Reiya-nee is lying here, and the person who came to see you is such a handsome man."

Hashimoto Reia raised her head, her tone tinged with smugness, "This is Yuzuru-kun, my good friend, the detective who investigates assassins."

The big-eyed girl raised an eyebrow. "Sister Lianya, did you say you would repay us after we found the killer?"

"I want this detective, just for one night. You won't be too reluctant, will you?"

Hashimoto Reia was taken aback, then pretended to be nonchalant, "I keep my word. How could I not fulfill my little sister's request? But... I have to be there."

The big-eyed girl, affectionately called "Child," puffed out her tightly bound bra. "Well, I was just worried your detective wouldn't be able to handle it!"

Reia Hashimoto chuckled, "Can't handle it? I'm worried you won't be able to handle it!"

Motorbike girls are just that flamboyant and rebellious; they don't even care whether he agrees or not, and they just talk about this topic without any restraint.

Yuzuru Masahiro didn't want to waste time arguing with them. Since Hashimoto had these sisters to take care of her, he didn't need to worry.

He told Hashimoto to focus on recovering and that she and her sisters didn't need to get involved in anything else for the time being, before leaving the hospital amidst the girls' undisguised flirting.

Why did Lady Nagiharu keep it a secret from Hirano Shōmei when she saw Kami Higashiya doing divination?

Initially, Masahiro Hanyu didn't intend to delve deeper into the matter, but now he wants to figure out the answer to this question, hoping to find some clues about the assassin.

To figure out the problem, he could ask the three parties involved separately: Hirano Shōmei, Nagi Haru, and Kamishiro Masato.

When asked about Hirano Shōmei, he could only probe indirectly.

Even under these circumstances, Masahiro Hanyu will still abide by the professional ethics of a private detective and will not disclose Mrs. Nagiharu's privacy.

He could ask Lady Nagiharu directly, but she might not tell the truth.

He could also ask Masato Shinji, but Okubo's mother might not see him, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't answer his questions. After all, he had questioned her prized Four Pillars of Destiny analysis and embarrassed her.

More importantly, the assassination attempt he and Hashimoto Reia faced occurred after they began tracking and monitoring Shinji Masato. Would it be dangerous if they went to see him?

Masahiro Hanyu called Keiko Okita and told him that Reia Hashimoto had fallen and was not going to retrieve the high-powered telescope.

Now he wants to meet with Lady Nagiharu, as there are some things he wants to learn more about.

Okita Kyōkyu hesitated for a moment, then suggested that he could make a phone call to Mrs. Nagiharu so that he could ask her questions without necessarily having to meet her in person.

Masahiro Hanyu was silent for a few seconds. "Okita-kun, I only want to ask him in person."

He insisted on meeting Mrs. Nagiharu for a reason: when he left yesterday, Mrs. Nagiharu said she would arrange to meet him again in the basement of the couple's house.

But he insisted on meeting her in the apartment building, wanting to confirm his impression once again: Mrs. Nagiharu was different when they met at a different location!
