Tokyo, the shady intelligence of private detectives

Chapter 138 The Clues About the Cowherd Are a Bit Strange

Yuzuru Masahiro looked at it carefully again and again. He was not mistaken. The classmate from the Yonemura Instructor Training Class in the photo looked exactly like Shirakawa Tenyu.

He has a photographic memory; he clearly remembers the information and photos of the three top male escorts that the investigation department has uncovered.

Shirakawa Tenyu, whose nightclub was Aibon, died in 1979 at the age of 29. The cause of death was illness.

He was investigating someone who was already dead, and he actually saw him in this photo!

Masahiro Hanyu flipped the photo over to the back. It was taken in 1989, three years ago, ten-years after Tenyu Shirakawa had died.

The person in the photograph who looks exactly like Shirakawa Tensuke is named Toyotomi Kazusuke, and he appears to be around 30 years old at the time. How could two people who look so alike be unrelated?

Masahiro Hanyu is currently on two assignments: one is to investigate evidence of Kurokawa Tsuki's crimes, and the other is to find the whereabouts of Aburi.

The two commissions have two overlapping intelligence leads provided by the system, so no clue about the top male host in Shinjuku Kabukicho can be missed. Toyotomi Kazusuke must investigate carefully.

Naoko Yonemura was sleeping soundly. Masahiro Hanyu quietly got up, called Yui Satsuki, and told her that Lecturer Yonemura had left a letter and a photo album for Naoko.

On the phone, Yui Satsuki's tone was serious, "Yamamoto-kun, this matter is serious. I will notify the investigation department immediately. Have you taken the photo album home yet?"

"Yes, Miss Mio, I will send the photo album to Showa House."

Masahiro Hanyu had already obtained Nako Yonemura's consent to send the photo album to the investigation department for clues.

"Tomorrow? Let's hurry, I'll come to your house to pick up the photo album now."

"Alright, when will you be arriving, Miss Mio? I'll wait for you downstairs!"

"No need for you to go through all that trouble, Yamamoto-kun. I'll just come to your house to get it!"

'

Yuzuru Masahiro was taken aback; he couldn't let Satsuki Yui see Nako sleeping in his house.

"Great! We can have some tea or drinks together. It's already so late, and the investigation of the photo album probably won't begin until tomorrow."

""

Upon hearing the suggestion of having tea, Yui Satsuki's tone was noticeably hesitant, even somewhat panicked.

"It's so late. I still need to take the photo album to the investigation department. I'll trouble you to take it downstairs, Yamamoto-kun. I'll be there in half an hour."

Sure enough, the more proactive he was, the more hesitant Satsuki Yui became, especially when he deliberately brought up the topic of tea. She wouldn't forget the uncontrollable intimacy they shared in the tea room.

"Oh, okay then, I'll wait for you downstairs at the apartment!" Masahiro Hanyu's tone was clearly disappointed.

He quietly got up and dressed. Naoko Yonemura was still fast asleep; she had truly given it her all.

Yuzuru Masahiro went downstairs, and not long after, Satsuki Yui's Crown sedan arrived, and she got out of the car.

Masahiro Hanyu went over to her and handed her the photo album. "Aren't you really going to come up and sit for a while?"

Yui Satsuki took the photo album. "No, maybe there will be a chance in the future, after all, you and I are partners!"

Masahiro Yuzuru looked around. "Ms. Mio, we're a couple. You've been reminding me all along not to forget our relationship."

Yui Satsuki looked slightly embarrassed. "Oh, I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

She then straightened her expression and lowered her voice, "I have already communicated with them. The investigation department takes this matter very seriously and will organize personnel overnight to analyze the photo album and search for relevant personnel information."

After seeing Satsuki Yui off, Yuzuru Masahiro returned to his apartment. Yonemura Nako was still fast asleep; this would be the most restful night's sleep she would have in the next few months.

Masahiro Hanyu was starting to feel sleepy; tonight's exercise had been a bit too intense. He attached a silk thread to two small bells by his bedside before getting into bed.

After taking the Shinto Ukiyo statue home, someone entered his room without his knowledge. Then, Izayoi Akizo also casually entered and exited through the window, which made Masahiro Hanyu feel that his safety was threatened.

To solve this, he made a simple alarm device himself. He strung a silk thread across the door and window, with one end of the thread connected to the two bells by the bedside.

The bell would ring whenever a window or door was opened. No matter how tired he was, he would never forget to connect this simple alarm device and keep himself alert, so that he would wake up immediately when the bell rang.

After carefully checking the doors and windows, Masahiro Hanyu lay down next to Nako, gently embracing her, and fell asleep without realizing it. In his hazy state, he suddenly heard the soft tinkling of a bell and immediately opened his eyes.

A dark figure gently pushed open the window, nimbly leaped into the room, looked around, and then quietly walked to the bedside.

"So you connected the two bells with silk thread, no wonder you woke up!" The dark figure that entered was none other than Izayoi Akira.

Masahiro Hanyu didn't move, he just stared at her. "It's illegal for you to sneak into someone else's house like this."

At that moment, Naoko Yonemura turned over, seemingly about to be woken up. Suddenly, Izayoi reached out and pressed his hand on the top of her head.

Yuzuru Masahiro was startled and reached out to grab Izayoi's wrist, but he couldn't catch it. "What are you doing?"

Izayoi looked Yonemura Nako up and down. "Don't worry, I just made her sleep soundly so she wouldn't hear us talking. So it wasn't Reia-san after all. Yuzuru-kun has changed women again."

"Hanyu Masahiro sat up. "My changing women seems to have nothing to do with Miss Mingkong. What brings you here again?"

Izayoi looked at him and asked, "What is the relationship between Yuzuru-kun and Abu Mizure, the wife of the East Asia Association President? That pair of eyes and the image of Fusei are actually hers!"

""

Masahiro Yuzuru frowned. "Ms. Akira, this has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Izayoi sighed, "Is it alright? But when I noticed that Su Sheng had changed his position, I went to check, and ended up being discovered by the person who had been looking for me."

"I finally managed to shake them off. I came to see you, Yuzuru-kun, to tell you that if two elderly women in their sixties come looking for you, don't mention that I used to hide here and live with you, otherwise it won't do you any good."

"I'm leaving so as not to disturb your good time with this young lady. She'll wake up soon and won't notice anything, so you don't need to explain."

""

As Izayoi turned to leave, Masahiro Hanyu called out to her, "Ms. Mingkong, my pager number hasn't changed, and I still have a phone at home. You can reach me if you need anything. Even if you want to come see me, please use the door, okay?"

Izayoi nodded slightly. "I will consider your suggestion."

Masahiro Hanyu lay back down on the bed. "Okay, close the window for me!"

He slept until dawn, and was vaguely awakened by a familiar softness—it was Naoko Yonemura.

At noon today, Naoko Yonemura was going to the Nishi-Azabu Twin Star Cabaret to wait for the next steps, so she wanted to spend one last moment of tenderness with Yonemura.

Yuzuru Hanyu suddenly stood up, picked her up, and carried her into the bathroom—

At 10 a.m., Masahiro Hanyu took Nako Yonemura home. She had swallowed the tracking device and was also carrying two listening devices with her.

Soon the investigation department paged Masahiro Hanyu, initiating a 24/7 surveillance operation on Nako Yonemura.

After seeing Naoko Yonemura off, Masahiro Hanyu arrived at the Showa Building. Keiko Miyazawa said that Department Head Mio was busy and not in the administrative department.

She handed Masahiro Hanyu a document, "Mr. Yamamoto, please take a look. This is the investigation result on Toyotomi Kazusuke."

Masahiro Hanyu took the document and his gaze fell on a red-lined mark.

He looked closely and was taken aback: Toyotomi Kazusuke's address was an old detached house in Kita-Shinjuku, Shinjuku Ward.

The address marked by the investigation department under the red line is exactly the same as the address of another deceased host, Hasumi Yoru.
