I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

Moreover, he was telling the truth, completely ignoring his initial statement that four people would be more than enough.

He and the reporter argued for nearly half an hour before they finally turned back.

“Yukinoshita, what happened last night was too bizarre.” The boss rubbed his temples. “This guy ran to that street and went into an izakaya, and then he disappeared. We broke down the door of the izakaya and found that his double was not there at all. We searched inside but couldn’t find him. We couldn’t investigate the owner either.”

“You weren’t involved in the operation last night. Try investigating that guy. I suspect that his accomplices are being harbored by that boss.”

“Okay…” Yukino frowned slightly: “Then what should we call the izakaya?”

Did he appear in two locations at the same time?

“Blade, a nationwide chain.” The boss said, “The identity is top secret, don’t investigate too deliberately.”

Right behind the two, a woman dressed in plain clothes, who looked unremarkable, had a voice recorder pinned to her chest and a small notebook in her hand, secretly recording their conversation.

blade izakaya?

Chapter 092 An Ordinary Reporter

Yukino is certain that Luo Feng is just amusing himself with this.

If he wanted to, he could easily make those people's memories plausible and prevent this from happening to him.

He can alter the memories of so many people, turning an ordinary person into a superman. It's completely illogical, yet people still believe it, let alone something as trivial as this.

I suspect my boss made me investigate because he had given me some kind of psychological suggestion.

I can find out his background clearly, but how do I report it? Can I even report it? In the end, I might face either suspension or a psychologist.

However... Luo Feng wasn't entirely without good intentions; when he went to Luo Feng's place, Luo Feng concealed his presence.

Otherwise, even if it's just a coincidence that you're one of the people at the crime scene, it just doesn't seem right.

Japan has fewer street cameras, not none. With your car so conspicuous, it's impossible for them not to notice.

If they find out, coupled with their own other guesses...

Yukino felt that if she were in someone else's shoes and found out that her appearance was so coincidental, she would definitely think that she was the mole.

“Top secret…” Yukino muttered somewhat disgruntledly, “An izakaya owner, making his identity top secret.”

“Hmm, I suspect it’s someone from above.” The boss nodded solemnly. “This person is likely closely related to this matter. I think he might be the mastermind behind it all.”

"The deaths of a developer and an official are likely not simple revenge killings; the person may have been manipulated."

"Think about it, why does an ordinary person seem to have undergone professional training? Tracking, counter-tracking, and those outstanding fighting skills are like those of a police academy graduate."

"Furthermore, it is very difficult to trace his life."

“He didn’t work, and his adoptive mother has been under our control for a long time. Where did he get his livelihood?”

"If this person is being used, and someone in higher up wants to get rid of these two people and use him as a scapegoat, then everything makes sense."

Yukino fell into deep thought.

It must be said that his analysis made a lot of sense and was very similar to my own analysis in many ways.

The case is now closed, and I can review last night's action records, but I still 'don't know' the inside story that I shouldn't know.

She herself suspected that there might be a mole on the side, otherwise many things would not make sense.

Luo Feng's appearance only completes his final act of revenge; he doesn't know who supported him before.

In other words, he may not have fully confessed last night!

Or perhaps, Luo Feng blocked out part of what he said!

So, was the so-called professional training just a hint that Luo Feng was giving himself?

Wait, what if there really is a mole, and I find out about it?

This mole helped a group of innocent people take revenge!

Logically speaking, the mole did the right thing, even brilliantly, perfectly utilizing his position.

Because of Luo Feng's appearance, my superiors have turned their attention to the upper levels. If they really investigate further, I might be the only one who knows the identity of the mole.

What should I do then? Should I expose the other party, or help them?

She could do that, because if there's an inside traitor, there will always be clues to follow, and it's completely traceable, unlike Rio Miyaichi who leaves no trace at all.

There are many things I am powerless to change, but those who participated in the operation yesterday…

Am I capable?

what should I do?

Yukino felt a chill run down her spine.

If I don't expose them, how can I still be a good police officer?

Does the person who did this even deserve to be called a police officer?

Because she was always thinking and wary of Luo Feng, she quickly figured out Luo Feng's deeper meaning.

This isn't a conspiracy; it's an open strategy, a move that forces them to their own advantage!

As for me overthinking it?

With Luo Feng as an opponent, nothing is too much to ask for.

Seeing that Yukino was thinking, the superior didn't think much of it. He just wanted to use the Yukino family's influence to see if they could find out anything. If they couldn't, the head of the Yukino family wouldn't let him go in first.

This stock market crash was completely unexpected; after all, even the stock market guru had never witnessed such a scene.

It seems they've weathered the storm and their core strength remains.

Yukino's older sister dotes on her and will probably help her.

Just as Yukino and Luofeng were locked in a battle of wits, the girl following behind them made a nimble turn and walked outside.

Going further in, it's not something you can just walk into casually. Following this route, we've already obtained a lot of important news.

If this news were released, it would definitely cause a huge uproar, but the woman felt no emotion whatsoever.

She left Yukino and her boss, along with a group of colleagues who were still shouting, and calmly took the train away from there. She eventually arrived at her workplace, Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK).

She arrived at the editor-in-chief's office and gently knocked on the door.

"Enter."

A voice responded from inside.

The woman calmly walked in, placed her notebook and voice recorder on the table, and quietly watched the editor-in-chief, Oreki Kimie.

At first, Oreki Kimie didn't take it seriously, but after listening to the recording for a while, he immediately turned off the recorder, walked to the door, and closed it.

When she returned to her seat, she looked at the girl with interest: "Kato, where are you from?"

"I just interviewed them," Kato Megumi said softly, as if she had only done something insignificant.

It was indeed insignificant to her; she simply walked over, recorded a short clip, and didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

She walked past with an air of self-assurance, her nonchalant demeanor making it seem as if they were together.

Sometimes, acting out in the public eye can become surprisingly smooth because the audience is so shocked that they do nothing about it.

Moreover, Megumi Kato integrated herself so well.

"This is a very serious matter, we can't publish it casually. I need to report it to my superiors. If you're free, go to that izakaya and have a look, just like you're going for a normal meal. Don't reveal your identity as a reporter." Oreki Kimie casually said, "Don't ask anything, don't say anything, understand?"

"If we eat there... will it be considered on company funds?" Kato Megumi's focus and the editor-in-chief's focus were clearly not on the same thing.

"Fine." Oreki Kimie had a headache; she had always had a headache dealing with this capable subordinate of hers.

If this were a free country like the West, Megumi Kato would definitely be the best journalist.

After all, she often managed to get interviews for news that others couldn't, which gave people an inexplicable sense of eeriness...

P.S.: Book recommendation: "My Patriotic Girlfriend Won't Be an Empress"

The time traveler, Nanqi Ming, owns a bar and enjoys telling stories to people he likes.

Although this world is undergoing the first revolution in magic energy industry, capitalism is beginning to develop, feudal society is collapsing, and countries are in turmoil, Minami Akira has always believed that these stories are someone else's stories.

He would tell passing girls interesting stories and experiences from his world.

"A real Ponzi scheme is one that strips capital bare."

"The assembly line is a very interesting concept in relation to the Industrial Revolution."

"Young lady, wouldn't you like to learn about guerrilla warfare?"

Anyway, we're all just ordinary people, and a little banter won't cause any major problems! What Lucifer, the vice-ruler of the empire, what leader of the Blood Revolution, what creator of the new era—I really have no idea!

Nanzaki Mei: I just tell stories to some girls, maybe get a romantic drama copy at most. I really don't know why their love triangle would ignite a world war!

Chapter 093? Because there are many people

What troubles Oreki Kimie is that sometimes the things Kato Megumi interviews with are too shocking to her. Not only would she be silenced if she published them, but she also doesn't dare let anyone know that she knows so much.

But people are naturally curious, and it was this curiosity that prevented her from stopping Kato Megumi's behavior.

Fortunately, this person is very disciplined. If she were a reporter from an entertainment company, the Japanese entertainment industry would probably be in turmoil every few days.

Fortunately, she came here, and I was there to keep her in check and not to misuse her abilities.

Kato Megumi cares about things completely differently from normal journalists. Normal journalists care about reputation, news, or some journalists care about the truth.

And what about her? She cares about... things that ordinary people should care about? Salary, vacation, benefits, how far her apartment is from her workplace—everything is so simple and unpretentious, giving people a sense of unreality, yet she seems exceptionally real, as if these are the things that people should care about.

Some people are inclined towards good, some towards evil, but this person seems to have no sense of right and wrong. She always stays out of it, treating it as just an ordinary job. She will never say what she is not allowed to say, and she will never do what she is not allowed to do.

In her words, she's just an ordinary person and doesn't have the ability to manage so much. Shouldn't this be someone else's responsibility? It has nothing to do with her.

She met Kato Megumi a long time ago, shortly after she returned from traveling in Eastern Europe.

Oreki Kōe is an eccentric in every sense of the word, excelling in every way, and is also skilled in Aikido and grappling techniques.

When she met Kato Megumi, she was surprised that Kato Megumi got so close to her without her noticing.

Theoretically, she wouldn't be interested in someone like Kato Megumi, who was just asking for directions at a shopping mall. But it was precisely because she shouldn't be interested that she became interested in Kato Megumi, and the two became online friends and ordinary friends in real life.

She placed Kato Megumi in a very prominent position to ensure that she would never forget her.
