Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Chapter 137 The Belated Package

Tomorrow, Naoko Yonemura will leave home to go to His Holiness Hakuto to copy scriptures.

When Kyoko was still a virgin, she also copied scriptures. She once told Nako that the place where scriptures were copied was very secret.

The meeting point will be announced shortly before departure, and you will be required to cover your eyes after boarding the vehicle. Once there, you are not allowed to contact the outside world privately. If you want to call your family, you must do so under the supervision of security personnel.

The more mysterious the place, the easier it is to find evidence of the Fusheng Society's crimes.

The investigation department hopes to pinpoint the exact location of this mysterious address and learn about the situation there through Naoko Yonemura. This is the task that Masahiro Hanyu is preparing to assign to Naoko Yonemura.

It was already past 7 p.m. when he went to Naoko's house.

On his way, Masahiro Hanyu suddenly received a page from Nako Yonemura. The two had agreed on the meaning of the numbers, and the page meant that it was urgent and he needed to call back immediately.

What unusual situation had occurred? Masahiro Hanyu quickly got off at the nearest station and returned the call.

After the call connected, Nako's voice came through, "Yamamoto-kun, I'm sorry, I'd like to come to your house—may I?"

Masahiro Hanyu found it very strange. The two of them had agreed to meet at Nako's house in the afternoon, so why did she suddenly change her mind and want to go to his house instead?

"Miss Naoko, has something unexpected happened?"

Naoko Yonemura's voice trembled slightly, "Yes, I'm a little scared. I got some items—can we meet and talk about it?"

'

"Okay, where are you? I'll come pick you up." Judging from Naoko's tone, something must have happened. He was worried that she might have had an accident like Professor Yonemura.

"I'm at the bus stop near my home, and I want to come find you."

"Okay, just wait for me there and don't leave." After getting the address, Masahiro Yuzuru immediately took a taxi there.

Naoko Yonemura, carrying a large shoulder bag, hid in the shadows near the station, and Masahiro Hanyu finally spotted her.

Upon seeing Masahiro Hanyu, Nako Yonemura threw herself into his arms, her body trembling slightly. "Yamamoto-kun, please take me home."

Masahiro Hanyu didn't ask any questions. He put his arm around Nako Yonemura and got into a taxi. Nako didn't say a word the whole time, but just held her handbag tightly.

Only after the two entered the apartment and Masahiro Hanyu closed the door did Naoko Yonemura finally breathe a sigh of relief, her tense expression easing somewhat.

Yuzuru Masahiro pulled her down to sit and poured her a glass of water. "Miss Nako, what happened? Why are you so nervous?"

Naoko Yonemura took a big gulp of water. "Yamamoto-kun, I received a package today. It was mailed the day before my brother's accident, and I only received it today."

She put down her water glass, opened her handbag, and took out two photo albums, a bank card, and a letter.

"These are the items my brother mailed to me. Take a look at this letter."

After receiving the letter, Masahiro Hanyu opened it and read it carefully.

The letter was not complicated. It began with some words of prayer, explaining that Yonemura Nako had joined the Fushou Association because of Lecturer Yonemura, and that she would be unable to leave it afterward. Lecturer Yonemura expressed his remorse.

Then came the bank card PIN. Lecturer Yonemura told Nako that the bank card contained some money he had saved over the years, and that if anything happened to him, all the money would be left to Nako as compensation for her.

At the end of the letter was a sentence: "Keep the photo album safe; it's very important. Please be careful." I deeply regret my actions and will try to change!

Naoko Yonemura bit her lip. "How did my brother know he might have an accident? Wasn't his death an accident?"

'

Yuzuru Masahiro's expression turned serious. "Judging from your brother's letter, perhaps it is."

""

His previous guess was probably correct; Lecturer Yonemura must have known some secrets, which is why the accident happened, and his death was murder.

What secret does Instructor Yonemura know? Why did he arrange to meet with Yui Satsuki?

Satsuki Yui is impersonating Nagasawa Mio, and she has only met with Lecturer Yonemura once. Lecturer Yonemura asked to meet with her, saying he had something important to discuss. Did Lecturer Yonemura know that Nagasawa Mio was using a fake identity?

That's unlikely. Even Inoue Kazuhiko didn't notice, so how could Lecturer Yonemura possibly know?

"Yamamoto-kun, I'm so scared! If someone kills my brother, will they kill me too?!"

Masahiro Hanyu hugged Nako. "Don't worry, the people from the investigation department and I will protect you. The reason I came to see you today is for this matter."

Naoko Yonemura hugged him tightly. "Yamamoto-kun, you went to the teahouse and drank the new sacred tea, but I knew nothing about it. Inoue-san is keeping it from me. He used to trust me a lot, but now he's acting like this towards me. Could it be related to what happened to my brother?"

"If my brother's accident was because of the Fu Sheng Association, would they treat me the same way?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to the White Peach Dharma King's place to copy scriptures, and it will be difficult to contact the outside world again. Will I die unexpectedly like my brother?"

'

Naoko Yonemura nestled in Masahiro Hanyu's arms. "After joining the Fuseikai, I have no family left that I can trust. Yamamoto-kun, I can only rely on you."

Masahiro Hanyu gently patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, Nako, we'll protect you."

He took a small box out of his pocket and opened it. "This is what the investigation department gave you: the latest miniature tracking and listening devices."

"To prevent you from being searched, you can swallow the locator. When you need to remove it in the future, you can drink a special beverage to expel it."

""

"There are two listening devices, one in this earring and one in this lipstick. They would be very difficult to detect without opening them up."

"Once they know Naoko's location, the investigation team will secretly contact you. They might send someone infiltrate to protect you."

Naoko Yonemura fiddled with the locator and listening device, but her expression remained worried.

Masahiro Yuzuru picked up the photo album, which consisted of two large volumes. He flipped through it casually; one was a family album, and the other was a photo album of Lecturer Yonemura's daily work and life.

In his letter, Lecturer Yonemura said that photo albums are very important, so they must be his personal life and work photo albums.

The first page of the album contained photos of instructor Yonemura preparing nutritional drinks. Masahiro Hanyu suddenly had a thought: could these nutritional preparations provide clues to the sacred tea?

At this moment, Naoko Yonemura put down the box, stood up, and said, "Yamamoto-kun, tonight may be the last night we spend together. I—"

Nako was in low spirits and spoke in a very pessimistic tone.

Masahiro Hanyu pulled her close, saying, "This won't be the last night!"

He held her gently, feeling her body tremble. He lowered his head and kissed her lips softly, trying to ease her anxiety.

As night deepened and the room fell silent, Naoko's emotions and body gradually calmed down.

When she finally relaxed and felt tired, she fell into a deep sleep next to him.

Masahiro Hanyu didn't sleep. He leaned against the headboard, picked up Lecturer Yonemura's photo album, and continued to look through it.

He couldn't quite understand the photos of those nutritional drinks being prepared, so it was necessary to hand them over to the investigation department for identification.

Masahiro Hanyu casually flipped through the photo album, some of which were group photos of his instructor, Yonemura, and his colleagues and classmates. On the back of each photo, not only was the date and time of the photo taken noted, but also the names of his colleagues and classmates.

One of the photos is a group photo of all the nutritionists trained at the "Tama Fuji Eiyo Specialized School," which has about twenty or thirty people.

Yuzuru Masahiro's gaze swept casually across the crowd, and he suddenly noticed that one of the faces looked somewhat familiar.

Who is this person? Have I seen him somewhere before?

Suddenly, Masahiro Hanyu felt a pang in his heart.

Isn't that Shirakawa Tenyu?

The top male escort who died in 1979!
