Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Yuzuru Masahiro's heart tightened. Inoue Kazuhiko had mentioned Kamishiro Masato. Were these two people familiar?

If the two become familiar, his identity as a detective will be exposed, and his cover-up as a member of the Nagasawa Construction Department will be ruined.

"Okubo's mother is very famous; I've heard of her. Mr. Inoue mentioned her... Could she also be a member of the Fuseikai?"

Inoue Kazuhiko shook his head slightly. "No, but I have a way to use Shinji Masato to restore and strengthen the relationship between you and Mio."

Masahiro Hanyu's eyes widened. "Really? Please explain in more detail, Mr. Inoue."

Inoue Kazuhiko leaned closer to him again and lowered his voice, "I've received some information that Ms. Mio recently went to Okubo's mother's place for a fortune-telling appointment, which indicates that she believes in the Four Pillars of Destiny."

Yuzuru Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't what he had thought after all.

As long as Masato Shinji is not a member of the Fuseikai and is not familiar with Kazuhiko Inoue, his identity will not be exposed.

Did Satsuki Yui visit Shinji Masato without telling him that it was to help him investigate the assassination of Lady Nagiharu?

After Inoue Kazuhiko leaves, he needs to ask Satsuki Yui for clarification; otherwise, the information asymmetry could easily lead to loopholes.

Inoue Kazuhiko continued, "After learning that Ms. Mio might believe in Masato Kamishiro's Four Pillars of Destiny analysis, I came up with a plan."

"Mr. Yamamoto may not know that the Four Pillars of Destiny analysis results for Okubo's mother can be customized according to individual needs."

Masahiro Hanyu was taken aback. "Ah! So it can be customized?" He really hadn't expected that.

Inoue Kazuhiko nodded seriously. "That's right. We can ask Masato Kami to give you a divination result according to Mr. Yamamoto's needs. For example, if you and Ms. Mio are destined to be together, what would happen?"

Masahiro Hanyu took a deep breath. "Then Ms. Mio will have no choice but to accept me, and we might really be together."

Inoue Kazuhiko smiled. "Yes, that's exactly it. That's how Masato Kamishiro achieved his current fame."

"Because the employer of a personalized service will provide her with detailed information about the person being calculated, her predictions will naturally be accurate, leaving the person being calculated in awe. Then she will give an appropriate result, and if that result happens to occur, how can it not be convincing?"

"Of course, this was a tactic used by Masato Kagami before she became famous. Now, in order to protect her reputation, she no longer does that."

Masahiro Hanyu looked surprised. "Mr. Inoue, how did you know?"

Kazuhiko Inoue sat up straight. "Fussei has access to many people's secrets and can use them whenever needed."

Yuzuru Masahiro hesitated, "Mr. Inoue, you mean that Masato Shinichi is no longer accepting private commissions? How can my request be fulfilled?"

"After all, I'm not familiar with Masato Shinki. Even if I could persuade her, it would probably cost a lot of money, which I probably can't afford."

When he mentioned that he was not familiar with Masato Kamishiro, Masahiro Hanyu stared intently at Kazuhiko Inoue. Analyzing his micro-expressions, it was clear that the other man was unaware that he had met with Masato Kamishiro.

It is clear that the Fusheng Association was only secretly monitoring Nagasawa Mio, and did not take any surveillance measures against him.

After all, Miss Mio is the real target of the Fusheng Association, and this fake Yamamoto Ryuji is just a tool that can be used.

Inoue Kazuhiko blinked. "Mr. Yamamoto's request will definitely be granted by Masato Kamishiro, and you won't have to spend a single yen, because you can use her commissioning of custom orders to blackmail her."

He took a neatly folded piece of white paper from his pocket and handed it to Masahiro Hanyu.

"These are two custom-made Four Pillars of Destiny readings that Masato Shinichi did before he became famous. Show them to her. If she doesn't agree to Mr. Yamamoto's request, threaten her to make this public."

After taking it, Masahiro Hanyu opened it and saw that it contained detailed information about the Four Pillars of Destiny analysis, the time of the analysis, and the name of the person who commissioned it.

One was about finding a partner, and the other was about an engineering project; both occurred in the early 1980s. This happened when Masato Shinji had just arrived in Tokyo and started his personal fortune-telling business.

Masahiro Hanyu neatly folded the paper and carefully put it away. "Did Masato Shinhei become famous through deception? But how do you explain her accurate predictions about Seoul hosting the 1988 Olympics and the massive influx of Korean goods into Japan?"

Inoue Kazuhiko dismissed it, saying, "It's just a legend. I guess it's just using the time difference to create hype. There are always people who hope for miracles; creating hype is easy, isn't it?"

Masahiro Hanyu nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Inoue. I will get to work on it as soon as possible."

"Did you see Ms. Mio when you came to the administrative department?"

Inoue Kazuhiko shook his head. "No, it's best to avoid seeing her, so as not to give her any bad impressions before your relationship with Mio is repaired. I'm only here to see Mr. Yamamoto as a client."

Yuzuru bowed slightly. "Thank you so much. After I repair my relationship with Ms. Mio, I will visit you at the tea room again. I am very much looking forward to the effects of the sacred tea."

Inoue Kazuhiko said solemnly, "I look forward to Mr. Yamamoto's visit, but actually, I look forward to Ms. Nako's visit even more. You can come to the tea room alone; Ms. Nako will serve you wholeheartedly. She has already decided that you are the one who will lose your virginity to her."

With Inoue Kazuhiko saying this, Yuzuru Masahiro could be certain of one thing: Inoue Kazuhiko was unaware that he had privately met with Yonemura Nako at the teahouse.

Naoko Yonemura wasn't someone who confided everything to Kazuhiko Inoue; there was a chance she could win him over.

After seeing Inoue Kazuhiko off, Yuzuru Masahiro went to Satsuki Yui's office.

After inviting Masahiro Hanyu to sit down, Yui Satsuki personally poured him a cup of coffee and brought it to him.

Since that kissing experience, Masahiro Hanyu felt that President Satsuki had become much more polite to him. This wasn't just his imagination; he wouldn't mind using the opportunity of drinking the sacred tea to continue making trouble in the future.

After putting down her coffee, Yui Satsuki sat back down in the chair behind her desk. "There are listening devices installed in the reception room. My colleagues and I from the investigation department overheard Mr. Hanyu and Inoue Kazuhiko's conversation."

"I had an appointment to see Masato Kamishiro, but I haven't had a chance to tell Yuzuru-kun yet. My purpose is to help you. The investigation department can't participate in the investigation, but I can."

"Whether Masato Shinji's divination is a scam or not, I'll have a clear answer after I've had it done. I used some methods to get an early appointment, and I'll be able to meet Okubo's mother in three days."

"Is Yuzuru-kun paying so much attention to Masato Kamiki because he suspects she's the mastermind behind the assassination?"

Masahiro Hanyu shook his head. "I only suspect that she is a participant or someone who knows about it. The real mastermind behind it should not be her."

Yui Satsuki nodded. "I've thought of a way to capture the assassin as soon as possible, but it's a bit risky and requires Hanyu-kun's approval."

"Actually, I thought of that too." Masahiro Hanyu picked up his coffee cup.

Satsuki Yui's peach blossom eyes flickered. "Oh, what idea did Yuzuru-kun come up with?"

Masahiro Hanyu slowly took a sip of coffee, a flavor he was used to.

"Since I'm one of the assassin's targets, I can be used to lure him out!"
