Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Masahiro Hanyu looked surprised. "Oh, Masato Kamitsu would make such a prediction?"

Kyoku Okita frowned. "Yes, isn't that nonsense? Mr. Hirano's wife is Mrs. Nagiharu, and Chairman Okita's wife is Mrs. Abu. How could they possibly share one wife?"

"I was right there when Mr. Hirano got really angry. He flipped over Masato Kamishiro's table on the spot, slapped her, and then left."

Nagi Haru's affair with Chairman Okita was probably unknown to Okita Kyoku, which is why he spoke of the prediction without any reservations.

"When did Mr. Hirano go for a fortune telling?"

Kyoku Okita thought for a moment, "It's been more than a year."

This happened a year ago!

Based on current information, Mrs. Nagi Haru was Chairman Okita's mistress for no more than a year.

Although a lover is not a wife, Masato Shinji's prediction was basically accurate.

However, Masahiro Yuzuru tested it out and found that Masato Shinki's Four Pillars of Destiny divination was inaccurate for both the living and the dead.

So how did she predict that Hirano Shōmei and Chairman Okita would share a wife?

Is Masato Shinichi's prediction sometimes accurate and sometimes inaccurate? Or is there something else going on?

"Did Mrs. Nagi find out about Mr. Hirano's prediction?"

"Of course I know! Mrs. Nagiharu was the mother of Mr. Hirano who went to see Okubo."

If Masato Kamishiro's prediction is close to the truth, then Lady Nagiharu has her reasons for believing it.

Hirano Shōmei now probably also believes that Shinji Masato's prediction was accurate, but he cannot show it, otherwise it would be an admission that he shares a wife with the chairman.

In a flash, Masahiro Hanyu realized these things, and he continued to ask:

"Does Chairman Okita know about Masato Kamishiro's prediction?"

Kyoku Okita hesitated slightly. "I don't know about that. I doubt Mr. Hirano will tell you. Is this related to the investigation of the assassin?"

If Hirano Shōmei doesn't talk about it, will Mrs. Nagi Haru talk about it? Does Chairman Okita know about this?

"Oh, I was just asking casually, it has nothing to do with investigating killers," Masahiro Hanyu replied casually.

He waited until evening, but Lady Nagiharu still hadn't returned.

Okita Kyoku confirmed that Lady Nagiharu was unharmed. She hadn't returned because she was handling some business, and it was uncertain when she would finish.

Masahiro Hanyu persisted in waiting.

The investigation department's taxis appeared in the vicinity several times, and Masahiro Hanyu deliberately stuck his head out of the car window to show that he was safe.

As darkness fell, Mrs. Nagiharu finally returned, but before Yuzuru Masahiro could get close, she entered the apartment building under the tight protection of more than a dozen security personnel.

Okita Kyōkyu went to communicate and returned quickly. Mrs. Nagi Haru made it clear that she was tired after a long day and didn't want to see anyone that day.

Masahiro Hanyu asked Kyokyu Okita to relay a message to Mrs. Nagiharu regarding the issues encountered during the investigation and their previous agreement.

He deliberately used the word "agreement" to wait for Lady Nagiharu's reply.

Not long after, Okita Kyōkyu returned again. This time, he relayed a message from Nagi Haru: "I'm really too tired to meet. If you need anything, just call me."

After accepting the phone number Okita Kyōkyu handed him, Yuzuru Masahiro looked helpless. "In that case, please take me home."

He didn't plan to communicate with Mrs. Nagiharu over the phone; if they did, there would be no reason to meet in person.

Moreover, he roughly knew why Lady Nagiharu met with Masato Kamishiro without Hirano Shōmei's knowledge.

Masahiro Hanyu returned to his apartment building in a minivan driven by Keiko Okita.

Okita Kyōkyu got out of the car first to check the surroundings and make sure there was no danger before asking Yuzuru Masahiro to get out.

He was ensuring that nothing went wrong while he was escorting the detective; otherwise, it would be his dereliction of duty.

Downstairs at his apartment building, Masahiro Hanyu saw the investigation department's taxi, which indicated that the department had taken security measures for his residence, making him feel much more at ease.

He slept quite soundly that night, and nothing unusual happened.

The next day, Masahiro Hanyu went to work as usual, taking a taxi from the investigation department to the Showa Building to ensure his safety.

After entering the Showa Building, I went up to the seventh floor and entered the Nagasawa Architectural Office.

The receptionist stood up. "Hello, Mr. Yamamoto, a client has arrived and is waiting for you."

Masahiro Hanyu was taken aback. "A client?"

He works at the Nagasawa Construction Office to disguise his identity; he doesn't have any clients.

Seeing the receptionist's serious expression, Masahiro Yuzuru looked around, then leaned closer and lowered his voice, "What's going on? Who's here to see me?"

The female employee bowed slightly in a very polite manner. "The client is waiting for you in the reception room."

As she bowed, she pushed a piece of paper in front of Masahiro Hanyu, on which was written: Kazuhiko Inoue.

Yuzuru Masahiro was taken aback; Inoue Kazuhiko had actually come to see him without giving any prior notice.

Without these preparations, his identity would have been exposed.

Upon entering the reception room, one sees Kazuhiko Inoue sitting at a table, drinking tea and flipping through promotional materials printed by Nagasawa Architectural Office.

Upon seeing Masahiro Hanyu enter, Kazuhiko Inoue stood up. "Mr. Yamamoto, excuse me for disturbing you."

Masahiro Hanyu made no attempt to hide his surprise. "Mr. Inoue, what brings you here?"

Kazuhiko Inoue glanced behind Masahiro Hanyu, and the receptionist brought in a cup of coffee and placed it on the table in front of Hanyu.

"Mr. Yamamoto, this is your usual latte. I've added a little milk for you."

Masahiro Hanyu bowed slightly. "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Miyazawa."

The receptionist's name in the Nagasawa Architectural Office is Keiko Miyazawa.

He spoke and acted naturally and casually with Keiko Miyazawa, looking like familiar colleagues.

After Keiko Miyazawa left and closed the door to the reception room, Masahiro Hanyu lowered his voice.

"Mr. Inoue, you can call me if you need anything. How did you find your way here?"

Inoue Kazuhiko smiled. "I remember last time at the teahouse, we drank Mukichihan. You and Miss Mio were already close and about to take things further, but you offended Miss Nako. After Miss Mio left, we haven't had any contact since."

"I'm here to remind Mr. Yamamoto that you haven't forgotten that you've joined the Fusheng Association. No matter what difficulties you encounter, the association can help you, after all, we're family."

Masahiro Hanyu nodded. "I know, but it was definitely my fault back then. Ms. Mio still hasn't forgiven me, and she was recently promoted to head of the administrative department. I... I feel like I'm not worthy of pursuing her anymore."

Kazuhiko Inoue leaned closer to Masahiro Hanyu, "Mr. Yamamoto, don't forget, you're a member of the Fusheng Association. Women are there to serve us men."

"Once Miss Mio joins the Fusheng Society, she will be your servant."

Masahiro Hanyu looked helpless. "But she won't forgive me now, so I can't take her to Mr. Inoue's tea room."

Inoue Kazuhiko blinked. "It's alright if she doesn't come to my tea room. A woman who doesn't have a man yet is curious about her future fate."

Masahiro Hanyu was puzzled. "I don't understand what Mr. Inoue is saying."

Inoue Kazuhiko sat up. "Mr. Yamamoto, have you ever heard of Okubo's mother, Kami Hirohito?"
