Why is my anime art style so weird?

"Looks like the excitement wasn't enough..."

So Xu Ming turned his head and looked at it with a smile.

"Oh, right, about the potato chips and cola I promised you, I was actually just kidding..."

Xu Ming hadn't finished speaking.

boom!

A massive amount of black mist surged out from the pink piglet, instantly engulfing it.

Soon, the black mist dissipated, and a slender figure wearing silver-white armor and with his face covered by an emerald-like mask appeared before Xu Ming.

Bah!

He punched the wall, and a large dent, 1 meter in diameter, immediately appeared in the snow-white wall.

"No one can withhold my snacks and drinks!"

The sound was cold and hoarse, like the sound of two pieces of iron rubbing together.

"Keep the original as is, and I'll add a bag of potato chips for you."

Xu Ming made the promise without changing his expression.

Pfft!

The black mist instantly dissipated from the silver humanoid figure, and the next second, a cute pink piglet appeared in the spot.

"It's settled, Xu Mingjun!"

Xu Ming casually dismissed Haruyuki Arita, then nodded to himself as he looked at the large hole in the wall.

"Not bad."

Now he is starting to seriously consider the suggestions put forward by the system.

Dirty!

Suddenly, the sound of police sirens came from outside the window.

Xu Ming hurriedly went to the window and looked outside.

Three police cars with "Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department" printed on their sides were parked in the plaza in front of Office Building No. 4.

Xu Ming looked surprised and picked up his phone to check the time.

It only took 10 minutes from when he called the police to when the police car arrived.

"They came so fast."

Xu Ming casually made a comment, then looked at the little fat pig.

"Arita-kun, could you hide? Or..."

Haruyuki Arita raised his little pig's trotter.

"It's okay. If I don't want them to see us, ordinary people can't see us."

Xu Ming nodded, then went to the door on the first floor to greet the police officer.

Soon, a police officer who was eight feet tall, with an eight-foot waist, and looked like a barrel, wearing a cappuccino-colored trench coat and a wide-brimmed hat, appeared in front of Xu Ming with several officers.

"Were you the one who called the police?"

The police officer, who looked extremely familiar to Xu Ming, stared at him with a serious expression.

"it's me."

Xu Ming nodded.

The officer took out his badge, showed it to Xu Ming, and briefly introduced himself.

"I am Inspector Megure Juzo of the First Investigative Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. You can call me Inspector Megure."

"Inspector Megure, hello."

Xu Ming readily accepted good advice.

"Which high school are you from, and why are you in a place like this?"

Xu Ming thought Inspector Megure would ask about the case, but to his surprise, he started by scolding him.

Fortunately, Xu Ming was prepared.

"My name is Xu Ming. I'm a student at Toyonosaki Private Academy and also a ghost hunting enthusiast. I came to Totsuki Culinary Center because I saw online that many strange things happen here, but I never expected to find several corpses in this office building..."

As Xu Ming spoke, a look of lingering fear appeared on his face.

Inspector Megure's attention was indeed diverted by him.

"A body? Where is it?! Take us to see it!"

Soon, led by Xu Ming, they found three bodies, including Haruyuki Arita, and also discovered the three unconscious Arayas.

After a brief on-site investigation, Inspector Megure and the other officers immediately became serious.

After exchanging words, Inspector Megure walked up to Xu Ming with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry, Xu Ming. Since these bodies are all related to a homicide case, we need you to return to the police station to assist with the investigation!"

Chapter Fifty Aftermath

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, First Investigative Division.

Inspector Megure was talking to a police officer with slightly dark skin, a muscular build, and an unremarkable appearance.

"Sir, after comparison and confirmation, the three deceased are Eizan Etsuya, who went missing three years ago; Shiraishi Mieko, who went missing a month ago; and Arita Haruyuki, who went missing a week ago."

Preliminary investigation indicates that the three victims had been dead for at least a week.

Furthermore, according to our investigation and Xu Ming's statement, he first entered the Totsuki Tea House five days ago. He had no prior record of visiting the Totsuki Tea House and did not know any of the victims. On the contrary, the three unconscious students were classmates with one of the victims, Haruyuki Arita, and had a history of theft, fighting, and other misconduct..."

A hint of hesitation appeared on Takagi Wataru's face.

Although he didn't say it, Inspector Megure immediately understood what he meant.

In Japan, school bullying is a very sensitive topic.

"So, Xu Ming has been basically cleared of suspicion?"

Inspector Megure changed the subject.

"Yes."

"Give him his statement, no need to notify the school, just let him go back on his own."

"Yes, sir."

Ten minutes later, Takagi Wataru escorted Xu Ming to the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Goodbye, Officer Takagi."

Xu Ming waved and turned to leave.

Goodbye, take care on your journey.

Wataru Takagi responded.

However, upon further reflection, he felt something was amiss.

goodbye?

Shouldn't it be "never to see each other again"?

It's strange that he's not afraid of the police.

Takagi Wataru shook his head and returned to his office, only to find several uninvited guests dressed in black suits and sunglasses.

These men in black suits were accompanied by several high-ranking officials from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, including Superintendent General Hakuba, Deputy Superintendent General Toshio Morohoshi, and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department Toshiro Odagiri.

After speaking with Inspector Megure, the man in the black suit took a brown paper bag full of documents from the grim-looking Inspector Megure.

After everyone left, Takagi Wataru went over and noticed that Inspector Megure's expression was strange.

"Takagi, have you ever heard of the 'Ministry of Defense Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters'?"

Takagi Wataru shook his head.

"No, I've never heard of this department."

Such a strange and complicated name would leave a deep impression if you heard it just once, but Takagi Wataru searched his memory and still couldn't recall it.

"Sir, what does this department do?"

Takagi Wataru asked with some curiosity.

Inspector Megure immediately put on a stern face.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir!"

Takagi Wataru instinctively stood at attention.

Inspector Megure pinched the side of his nose, looking speechless.

After a while, Takagi Wataru asked:

"Inspector Megure, regarding the Totsuki Tea House case, which direction should we take our investigation next? Should we investigate those three delinquents, or...?"

To everyone's surprise, Inspector Megure waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of inexplicable helplessness.

"Regarding the Totsuki Tea House case, I've been instructed by my superiors to hand it over to another department."

"Other departments? Could it be the one from earlier..."

As soon as Takagi Wataru opened his mouth, Inspector Megure glared at him, and Takagi Wataru quickly shut his mouth.

------

After everyone left, the Totsuki Tea House, bathed in the morning light, seemed to have returned to its tranquility and peace.

The same thing happened in office building number 4, until the wall outside the window of the fourth-floor office suddenly moved, and then a piece of plaster was peeled off, revealing a slender figure dressed in ninja attire.

Upon closer inspection, the wall turned out to be a canvas similar to the outer wall, painted with remarkable realism.

The female ninja nimbly flipped herself into the office.
