Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Masahiro Hanyu doesn't think that a 7th-dan black belt is that strong; he believes his strength will definitely be improved through intelligence rewards in the future.

He assumed that someone who could be an assassin must be very strong, so he didn't expect that kick would land squarely.

The moment he kicked out, it was clear that the assassin was short and thin, wearing a mask, and looked a lot like the person who was about to hit him on a motorcycle.

Seeing the assassin stumble and lose his balance, Masahiro Yuzuru pounced on him without hesitation, kicking him again and sending him tumbling to the ground, dropping his knife.

At that moment, the two colleagues from Nagasawa's construction department rushed over. They looked flustered and clumsy, but in reality, they very professionally helped to subdue the assassin.

As the assassin's arms were twisted behind his back and he was pinned to the ground by his two colleagues, Masahiro Hanyu reached out and ripped off the mask from the assassin's face.

He was somewhat surprised; the other person was a man in his early twenties with an ordinary appearance, whom he had never seen before.

He had initially thought the assassin would be a woman, which would align with Masato Kagami's divination prediction. He even speculated that the assassin might be one of Lady Nagiharu's security personnel, but now he was disappointed.

Regardless, now that the killer has been caught, we can find out who the mastermind is, which will require professional interrogation by the investigation department.

Naoko Yonemura was suddenly shoved aside by Masahiro Hanyu, staggering and falling to the ground, leaving her somewhat bewildered. Only then did she realize that someone had been holding a knife and trying to assassinate them.

Her chest heaved violently, her legs felt weak, and she managed to stand up with great difficulty. "Mr. Yamamoto, what happened?"

Masahiro Hanyu pulled Naoko Yonemura aside. "Miss Naoko, this person is dangerous. Don't get too close."

If the killer reveals his real name and detective identity, it will be very difficult for him to explain to Naoko Yonemura.

Given the current situation, if he wants Naoko Yonemura to be his undercover agent, he needs to proceed gradually; being too direct might backfire.

At this moment, one colleague pinned the killer down with his body, while another colleague stood up.

"Yamamoto-kun, this is a dangerous person. We should call the police right away!"

Before Masahiro Hanyu could say anything, his colleague had already rushed to a nearby phone booth and called the police.

Masahiro Hanyu knew that the person his colleague had called must be from the investigation department.

He lowered his voice, "Miss Naoko, the police will be here soon, and the person involved will need to give a statement. The questioning might be quite detailed. Your identity... it would be bad if the police noticed the Fusheng Association. You should leave here and go home."

Naoko Yonemura's expression changed. "Okay!" She opened her handbag, took out a pen and notepad, and quickly wrote down the pager number.

"This is my new pager number so I won't be harassed by people going to the teahouse. The police have finished their business; please contact me, Mr. Yamamoto. I want to know why someone would try to harm you and me?"

Masahiro Hanyu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, no matter how late it is, I will page Ms. Nako."

Naoko Yonemura reached out and hugged him before reluctantly leaving.

Yuzuru Masahiro walked up to the assassin, squatted down, and asked, "Who ordered you to kill me?"

The assassin couldn't possibly tell the truth from such a simple question; Masahiro Hanyu was just asking casually.

The assassin, pinned to the ground, raised his head and said, "Baka! Why should I be ordered around? That bitch Hashimoto Reia, I pursued her for so long, and she didn't even glance at me, but she turned around and lived with you. You two will both die a horrible death."

Yuzuru Masahiro was stunned. This assassin came to kill him because of Hashimoto Reia, not Lady Nagi Haru! Was this just nonsense the assassin was spouting to deceive him, or was it really true?

The colleague who had pinned the killer down with his body also looked puzzled. As a member of the investigation department, he naturally knew about Masahiro Hanyu, and he also thought they had caught the real killer, but it sounded like they hadn't.

Soon, a police car arrived, and two officers got out and put the suspect into the car. Masahiro Hanyu and his two colleagues, as the parties involved, were also asked to get into the car.

As expected, this was no ordinary police vehicle, but rather a car from the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division. The police car went directly to 2-1-1 Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department.

When Masahiro Hanyu first arrived here, he was invited into the SIT Special Crime Investigation Division, but no one questioned him; he was simply asked to rest in a room.

About two hours later, his two colleagues from the architecture department came into the room and told him the exact results of the interrogation.

The assassin's name is Aono Yohei. He runs a car repair shop and met Hashimoto Reia through repairing vehicles.

Then he fell in love with Hashimoto Reia at first sight and began to pursue her relentlessly, but Hashimoto Reia didn't like him at all and rejected him clearly on many occasions.

Therefore, Yohei Aono secretly followed Hashimoto Reia, looking for an opportunity to get close to her. However, he saw that Hashimoto Reia and Masahiro Hanyu were living together and always together.

Harboring resentment over this, Yohei Aono sabotaged Rea Hashimoto's motorcycle brakes and ordered the repair shop staff to follow Masahiro Hanyu. He then drove a heavy truck that was being repaired at the repair shop to run over and kill Masahiro Hanyu.

After the first attempt failed, Aono attempted to assassinate Hanyu Masahiro a second time on a motorcycle while he was waiting for his car, but this also failed. This was the third assassination attempt on Hanyu Masahiro, and he was captured.

This outcome was completely unexpected and had nothing to do with Lady Nagiharu.

Is it really true that the assassin who tried to kill Lady Nagiharu didn't actually lay a hand on him, and that the assassination attempt wasn't triggered by her following Shinji?

Masahiro Hanyu felt that they could not let their guard down because of this result. He requested that the investigation team not stop protecting him undercover because of this outcome.

After leaving the investigation department, Masahiro Hanyu pondered the three pieces of information provided by the system: Mrs. Nagiharu often buys Otto Hei S or Wakasu, she is a guest of Masato Kamishiro, and a Honda NSX.

Three pieces of information are really not enough for such a complex case. I wonder what the system will provide as his points increase, and whether it will provide more information or be closer to the truth.

Masahiro Hanyu and Nako Yonemura spoke on the phone.

"Miss Naoko, the crime has been investigated. It was a drunkard who was unhappy with his life and attacked people indiscriminately. We just happened to be seen by him."

On the phone, Naoko Yonemura seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Oh, I see! That's understandable, given the current economic situation, it's not easy for anyone to make a living."

"Mr. Yamamoto, I live alone at home now, so there won't be any outsiders disturbing me. Would you... like to come over?"

This was already a very direct invitation, and he couldn't hurt her feelings, otherwise things would become difficult later.

Masahiro Hanyu thought for a moment, "Miss Nako, actually I really long for our first time together, and I even dream about it often..."

"But I really feel that the first time should be taken seriously and not taken lightly, after all, Miss Nako is a special person in my heart."

"I want to find a time when we're both at our best, so the process will be more enjoyable. Do you understand?"

Naoko Yonemura's voice trembled slightly, "Mr. Yamamoto, thank you for valuing me so much. I feel very happy and I look forward to it. I will follow your arrangements."

Yuzuru Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Naoko Yonemura didn't suspect anything, that was fine. However, this first time was bound to happen sooner or later; it just needed to happen at the right and opportune moment.

Back home, Masahiro Hanyu was even more vigilant that night, worried that the investigation department might relax their protection of him because of what had just happened.

Not long after waking up the next day, Masahiro Hanyu received a page from Kyokyu Okita, saying that Mrs. Haru Nagi wanted to see him.
