Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Based on the clues already obtained, Masato Kamishiro is connected to the assassination of Lady Nagiharu. Now, the information provided by Nagiyuki has also implicated Masato Kamishiro's sister.

It might not be feasible to blackmail Masato Shinichi into revealing the details based solely on the secret of the private customization; he still needs to wait for the results of the surveillance of the Honda sports car.

As Yuzuru Masahiro pondered, he turned into the back alley of the private residence and saw the investigation department's taxi.

Once in the car, he smelled alcohol.

The driver told him that he had received instructions from the investigation department that if Masahiro Hanyu were in danger, the driver would disguise himself as a drunk man and rush into the private residence, and could open fire if necessary.

This arrangement is sufficient proof that the investigation department will do its best to protect him should he be in danger.

In the taxi, Masahiro Hanyu used the investigation department's cordless phone to let Yui Satsuki know he was safe and to inquire about the wiretapping.

The reply received was that neither Mrs. Nagiharu nor Masato Kamishiro's Honda NSX had been moved, and the listening device was completely blank.

Masahiro Hanyu talked about Nagi Yuki getting plastic surgery to look like Nagi Haru, but of course he didn't mention his experience of being forced into bed.

He believes that the cases of the Nagi Haru sisters and the Kamishiro Masato sisters should be investigated, as it would be easier to obtain relevant information from the police.

Yui Satsuki stated that she would communicate with the investigation department and would inform him of the results as soon as possible.

He was also told that a telephone would be installed today in room 302 of the cooperative apartment complex in Nishi-Shinjuku 5-chome, to facilitate daily communication.

This is good news for Masahiro Hanyu; he won't have to go downstairs to find a public phone to reply when he receives a pager.

As soon as Masahiro Hanyu returned to his apartment, the telephone company staff arrived, and the installation and setup of the telephone took only half an hour.

After seeing off the telephone installer, Masahiro Hanyu first called Yui Satsuki, "President Satsuki, thank you. Having a telephone has made things much more convenient."

Yui Satsuki replied politely, "Hanyu-kun, you're welcome. The investigation into the Fusei Association will begin soon, and having a phone will make communication smoother. Oh, I should remind you that this phone is being tapped by the investigation department."

Phone tapping! Masahiro Hanyu didn't care; he could just use a public phone to keep things secret.

"I don't mind if it's free!"

Yui Satsuki paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll cover the phone bill for that apartment. Yuzuru-kun, you can give this phone number to Naoko Yonemura. That way, she might call you more often, and your relationship will become closer. Perhaps you can find out more about the Fusheng Association through Naoko."

"I will follow President Satsuki's suggestion. However, there's a problem I don't know how to solve. Yonemura Nako wants to take our relationship further, you know, the kind of physical relationship between a man and a woman. What should I do?"

"Actually, I've already rejected Naoko Yonemura many times. If I continue to reject her, won't it backfire?"

This is a real problem. With the investigation department involved, he can no longer hide it and has no need to hide it. President Satsuki should be made aware of this situation.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. After about ten seconds, Yui Satsuki replied, "As long as it's beneficial to the investigation of the Fusei Association, Yuzuru-kun can decide for himself. However, I can offer some advice: when faced with this kind of predicament, perhaps there are other ways to resolve it."

"Other methods?" Masahiro Hanyu asked hesitantly. "Besides stalling, I can't think of any other way. President Satsuki, could you remind me?"

"Hanyu-kun, you can make use of Nagasawa Mio. I haven't thought about the specifics of how to do it, but I will definitely cooperate."

The investigation department has likely already begun wiretapping this phone, which explains why Yui Satsuki's answer was somewhat ambiguous.

However, Masahiro Hanyu has already sensed something different. Satsuki Yui's previous attitude towards how to handle his relationship with Naoko Yonemura was indifferent, but now her attitude seems to be that she wants to get involved.

Since the two kissed, President Satsuki's attitude has undergone a subtle change, a feeling that Masahiro Hanyu has grown stronger and stronger.

After ending his call with President Satsuki, Masahiro Hanyu paged Nako Yonemura.

The phone rang quickly, and Masahiro Hanyu answered it. Nako's gentle voice came from the other end: "Hello, Mr. Yamamoto, what can I do for you?"

Masahiro Hanyu heard a woman moaning on the phone; it was Kyoko's voice. Nako must be in the tea room; Kazuhiko Inoue always does this kind of thing in front of Nako.

"I've installed a telephone at home. Please write down the number so you can call me directly if you need anything."

Nako's tone was one of surprise and delight. "Oh, I see. Okay, thank you!" Inoue Kazuhiko was behind the sliding door, and she didn't want to say too much.

"I'll contact you again!" Kyoko's voice grew louder and louder, and Nako felt ashamed.

The next morning, Masahiro Hanyu was woken up by the ringing of the phone. It was Nako calling, who explained that she had just left the tea room when she called.

Inoue Kazuhiko would always order Kyoko to cooperate in front of her. She was under pressure, but she always insisted that her first time must be reserved for Mr. Yamamoto, and Inoue Kazuhiko could do nothing about it.

From Nako's tone, Masahiro Hanyu sensed the distance between her and Kazuhiko Inoue, something she wouldn't have expressed before.

Yuzuru Masahiro comforted her, saying that things would get better with time. Nako may not have understood the true meaning behind his words; he actually had the idea of ​​rescuing her.

He arrived at the Nagasawa Construction Office and had just sat down at his workstation when Keiko Miyazawa brought him the files of the Nagi Haru sisters and the Kamishiro Masato sisters.

It's very easy for the investigation department to obtain such personal files.

The archives are detailed and include photographs.

Sisters Haru and Yuki Nagi are from Hokkaido and are one year apart in age. Looking at the photos in their files, the two look somewhat alike, but they are clearly two different people.

If they didn't know the secret behind the plastic surgery, Hirano Hiroaki or Chairman Okita would never have imagined that Nagi Yuki already looked exactly like Nagi Haru.

Masato Kaname's younger sister is named Masako Kaname. Both are of Korean descent and are one year apart in age. When Masahiro Hanyu saw their photos, he was astonished because the two sisters look remarkably alike.

Although they are not twins, they are easily mistaken for the same person without careful observation.

Masahiro Hanyu also noticed that Haruto Nagi and Masato Kamishiro each own a Honda NSX. Yuki Nagi and Masako Kamishiro, however, do not own any cars, although both have passed their driving tests.

As evening approached, the investigation department delivered a wiretapped recording: it was confirmed to be a conversation between Masato Shinki and a female security guard working for Mrs. Nagiharu.
