"Natsuko, I have to go back now. Let's keep in touch!" Kei said, holding Honda Natsuko's hands with a look of reluctance.

"Yes, definitely! Hui, you're leaving soon. Come with me to school tomorrow to say goodbye to your teachers and classmates! Everyone cares about you!" Honda Natsuko said sincerely.

'Hmph, if I didn't know about the rumors you've been spreading behind my back, I would have been fooled. Concerned? They're probably planning to ask me, 'Is the rumor about my house being forcibly demolished true?' That's more like it!'

While thinking to herself, Hui said with a troubled expression, "I'm busy packing for the move these next few days and can't get away. Besides... my only friend is Natsuko, and I don't want to see anyone else. Natsuko, I'll miss you. I promise I'll come to Tokyo to see you next summer. Please don't forget me, okay? My best friend!!"

Natsuko looked at Kei without going to school and said with some regret, "Yes, definitely. Take care on your journey. I will always remember you."

"By the way, Natsuko, let me ask you something: Is it normal for someone to have a child with their own biological father?"

"Ah, Hui, what are you saying!" Natsuko exclaimed, looking shocked and confused. "Isn't that obvious? Bearing children for one's father is every girl's duty!"

"Hui, you're acting strange today. Why would you ask such a common-sense question?" Honda Natsuko couldn't understand why Hui would ask such a basic question. It was like someone asking you, "Do people need to eat?" Isn't that obvious? How could people not eat?

Similarly, how could a girl not bear children for her father!

In Honda Natsuko's understanding, these two are the same; they are both perfectly normal common sense.

Hui looked at Honda Natsuko, who was speaking in a serious tone and said something shocking, and felt it was very incongruous. He said awkwardly, "It's nothing, I was just asking. Don't overthink it."

······

Finally, Kei and Honda Natsuko parted reluctantly. When they were almost out of sight, Kei turned back and called out to Honda Natsuko with deep affection and strong reluctance, "Natsuko, I will definitely come to see you next year, no, I will come to see you this winter vacation, definitely, definitely—don't forget me—".

"I'll see you at your grave," Huixin added, "No, perhaps you don't even have a grave."

Natsuko turned and smiled, waving at Kei...

A minute after Hui and Honda Natsuko left the alley, the five burly men came to their senses. One of them, a short, fat man, trembled with fear as he looked at the tall, scarred man and said, "Brother, what, what do we do? Someone's dead! We're doomed! If we get caught... we're dead for sure..."

“Akasaka, calm down. Tokyo has 13.5 million people. What’s the big deal if three people are missing? As long as the bodies are disposed of properly, everything will be fine,” the scarred, burly man said with a ruthless look.

The other four forced themselves to calm down and said to Scarface, "Brother, what do you think we should do?"

"Okay, Akasaka and Aoki, you two go and drive the van to the alley entrance. Arai, Asaoka, and I will stay here and guard the place in case anyone comes in and discovers the body."

A short while later, Akasaka and Aoki pulled up in their van at the alley entrance. Scarface then directed them to wrap the body in some unknown fabric, put it in the van when no one was around, clean up the bloodstains in the alley, and then drive off.

No one noticed that three people had disappeared from here from beginning to end.

That night, they drove to an abandoned deep-water port in Tokyo Bay, wrapped the body up, tied it with steel wire and stones, and sank it. From then on, three more people quietly went missing in Tokyo, which was nothing out of the ordinary for a city of 13.5 million people with hundreds of missing persons every day.

Chapter 13 Kazuhiko Yatsuhashi

After Natsuko returned home, Honda Kazunari found his eldest daughter to be exceptionally sexy and alluring. After tossing and turning several times, he discovered that his feelings for her had not only not subsided, but had become even stronger.

Finally, he could no longer control himself, so he seized an opportunity while his wife was fast asleep and quietly knocked on Natsuko's door...

Hui has been spending her days either tidying up at home or going out for walks when she has free time, leading a very leisurely life.

Meanwhile, Soto had already prepared a new house in Aomori Prefecture. During his time in Tokyo, he mainly sold the house and handled various messy procedures. The real estate agent had already started looking for buyers, and it was estimated that it would be completed within the next two or three weeks, at which point he could move in directly.

It was a cloudy day, and the sky over Tokyo was dark, but the streets were still packed with people. Hui thought it was a good place to go shopping, so after asking her mother for permission, she went out again.

Standing at the bustling crossroads of Shinjuku, Tokyo, Hui fully experienced the local customs and culture of this foreign land.

At that moment, a news item displayed on the iconic large screen at the intersection caught Hui's attention: 'The 16th birthday party of Kana Kujo, the second daughter of the Kujo Group, will be held in 10 days at the top floor of the Tokyo Grand Hotel, at which time…'

Looking at the beautiful image of Kana Kujo in the news, Hui murmured, "How wonderful! Pure, beautiful, and noble. Sigh, I bet that scumbag Eiji Yasuda will go too! I was thinking of going to see him later, but... I've decided, I'll go join the fun too!"

At that moment, Hui's eyes fell upon her target: a man over forty years old with graying hair, a briefcase slung over his shoulder, a vacant gaze, and a melancholy expression.

This is the result of Hui's investigation over the past few days. The man's name is Honda Ichiro, and he works for a company under the Yasuda Group.

Fortunately, he has a beautiful wife and a daughter in college; unfortunately, the president of his company is Yasuda Eiji's lackey, Yachihashi Kazuhiko.

Even more unfortunately, Kazuhiko Yatsuhashi saw Ichiro Honda's wife and daughter on the street. Driven by lust, Yatsuhashi first carefully investigated Ichiro Honda's family, abilities, and connections, discovering that he was an ordinary citizen with average abilities and no special background.

Then, Kazuhiko Yatsuhashi deliberately tried to get closer to Ichiro Honda. Finally, he found an opportunity when both mother and daughter were at home to visit Ichiro Honda's house. He then deliberately got Ichiro Honda drunk and, with the help of bodyguards and drugs, took advantage of the mother and daughter.

When Honda Ichiro woke up, he learned what had happened, but under the pressure of his daughter going to university, the family still had mortgage payments, car loans, and various other expenses, under the threat of the lawyers who could portray the prostitute as a saint, and under the pressure of being lured into promotions at work... he could only pretend he didn't know.

After that, Honda Ichiro's daughter stopped coming home, but Yahashi Kazuhiko was still obsessed with the taste of mature women, so he often "visited" Honda Ichiro's house.

Hui entered the deepest part of Honda Ichiro's consciousness and found that he was really a coward, with no thought of resistance. Although he would get angry, he mostly endured, compromised, and even hypnotized himself, saying, "I can't see, I can't see, it's no big deal..."

"This guy is hopeless, but... luckily you met me," Hui said in a low voice.

At this moment, Kei was one of the huge crowds on the bustling streets of Shinjuku, while Honda Ichiro was an ordinary office worker on his way home. The two were seventy or eighty meters apart, separated by a thick crowd. They had never spoken a word to each other or made eye contact.

In just a few seconds, with Hui standing seventy or eighty meters away from him, Honda Ichiro had already undergone a complete transformation.

—Ability Structure Adjustment…Target…Deep Consciousness…Willpower Amplification…

——New ability formula generation···

—Completion of the structure…Unleashing potential…

—Synchronization…Fine-tuning…

--complete!

His desire for revenge was amplified to an extreme, suggesting that it had been planted. To ensure success, Hui also forcibly unlocked his brain's potential, making him extremely intelligent during his revenge, although at the cost of permanent brain damage afterward.

"I'll get my revenge! You think you are, Kazuhiko Yatsuhashi? What do you take me for? A dog or shit? I'll make you pay the price, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Honda Ichiro's heart was filled with the brilliance of humanity. He felt as if he had suddenly realized: Was he even human before? Even a dog had more courage than him.

He now only wanted blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and felt his body brimming with power, his mind brimming with brilliant flashes of inspiration. He felt...omnipotent!

The next day, Honda Ichiro requested a week of sick leave from work. Under his wife's questioning gaze, he simply stared intently at her for ten minutes, then made a phone call to his daughter, before leaving with a backpack…

·······

A few days later, Hui saw on the television news: "The worst case in Japan in ten years; a perverted killer broke into a home and committed a massacre, with no one in the victim's family spared... According to our reporter's interview, the cruelty and bloodshed of the scene were so intense that even a veteran detective with decades of experience could not bear to watch it a second time."

It is understood that the police have established a major crime unit and identified the suspect.

·······

No sooner had the host finished speaking than a new report was received, interrupting the broadcast: "Now for a breaking news update on this case: the suspect has committed suicide by jumping off a building! His suicide note has been exposed, and the truth is that it was a revenge killing!"

What exactly happened? Is there more to this case than meets the eye? What is the truth behind it? Please listen to our follow-up report…

"'The worst'? The media these days are really talking with their eyes closed. If this is 'the worst,' then what is the 'Kyushu imprisonment and murder case'?"

Hui looked at the news and muttered a sarcastic remark.

"But, a suicide note? I didn't ask Honda to leave a suicide note! Did he leave one on his own? Oh well, it's not a big deal."

Chapter 14 High-Level Meeting

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the abbreviation for the Japanese police department. Its jurisdiction is limited to Tokyo, the capital of Japan. In addition to protecting the citizens of Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department also has the responsibility to protect the country.

The conference room on the upper floor of the Metropolitan Police Department building was filled with people, all of whom were at least inspectors or higher. The Superintendent General was the first to speak.

"Inspector Sato, how's the investigation going?" Superintendent General Fujioka Rue asked with a serious expression.

Inspector Sato stood up, bowed to Superintendent Fujioka, and said, "Yes, Superintendent, the cause and effect of the case have been investigated clearly: the victim, Kazuhiko Yatsuhashi, raped the wife and daughter of the perpetrator, Ichiro Honda, and raped Ichiro Honda's wife multiple times afterward. In order to take revenge on the victim, Kazuhiko Yatsuhashi, Ichiro Honda broke into the victim's home on the night of July 4 and carried out a retaliatory murder against the victim's family."

Based on the description given by the sole survivor, Kazuhiko Yatsuhashi, the murder weapon found, and fingerprint matching at the scene, we have confirmed that the murderer was indeed Ichiro Honda. There are no remaining doubts in the case, and we can declare it closed.

"Yes, the cabinet has released a message: for the sake of social stability, we are to treat the murderer as a deranged killer, and there is no such thing as a revenge killing," the director said slowly in a low voice.

"I heard that Yasuhiko Yatsuhashi is working for the third son of the Yasuda family. Humph, those guys always make us, the police department, have to clean up their messes," a warning officer said resentfully.

At that moment, a police inspector walked out of the conference room as if he had received some news. A moment later, he returned and anxiously shouted to the chief inspector, "Chief inspector, something bad has happened! Honda's suicide note has been released. In the note, he detailed his motives, methods, and various details of the murders."

Chaos has erupted outside, with countless people protesting: "Are ordinary citizens not considered human? The tycoons have not only stolen the wealth we created, but now they're leaving us with nothing but human dignity…" The protesters have filled the Capitol Building.

"What happened? Why was something as important as a suicide note leaked?" a police officer shouted angrily.

"This was the day before Honda committed the crime. He wrote several identical suicide notes and had them mailed to major newspapers every two days, so..." the inspector replied.

"Has he gone mad? If this gets out, his wife and daughter's reputations will be completely ruined," a police inspector said, puzzled.

"He's not crazy. He lost his reputation but saved his life. Now all of Japan knows they're not relatives of the psychopathic killer."

Instead, they were victims persecuted by the powerful and wealthy. Now, the Yasuda zaibatsu not only dares not retaliate against his family, but also has to protect them for life.

Otherwise, the consequences of provoking public outrage would inevitably cripple even a zaibatsu like Yasuda. "One person said.

"Director Fujioka, what should we do about this?"

Chief Inspector Fujioka pondered for a moment and said, "Let's release it as it is. This is not the responsibility of our Metropolitan Police Department, and we can't say anything from above."

At that moment, the meeting room door opened.

A bespectacled man with a stoic expression, resembling a secretary, walked in and politely and directly addressed the Metropolitan Police Department staff: "Excuse me, everyone."

I am Matsuzawa Saku, Secretary of the National Security Special Operations Division.

The higher-ups have authorized the transfer of this case to our Security Special Operations Section.

We hope that everyone in the National Police Agency will fully cooperate with our operation.

"National Security Special Operations Division? Does such a department exist?" a police inspector in his fifties asked doubtfully.

“Our National Security Special Operations Bureau is a newly established department, directly under the Cabinet. It is specifically responsible for some ‘strange’ incidents,” Matsuzawa Saku replied with a bow. “We believe there may be other possibilities in this case.”

"What do you mean by 'other possibilities'?" a police superintendent asked angrily. "Are you implying there's more to this case than meets the eye? Are all of us in the police department idiots, unable to even figure out the details of a case?"

Matsuzawa Saku stated in a formulaic manner: "We are not questioning the intentions of the National Police Agency."

This case does have some flaws:

First, according to our investigation, the criminal Honda Ichiro has been a coward since childhood and has been struggling in society for more than 30 years.

This kind of person should have long been accustomed to or numb to everything in society, so why did he turn into a deranged killer in just a few weeks?

"Ha, what do you mean by that? Are you saying all the ordinary people in Japan are animals, or that you would be indifferent if your own wife and children were raped?" a young police inspector said sarcastically.

"A person who is usually tolerant may experience an outburst of pent-up emotions under extreme stimulation. There are similar cases both domestically and internationally!" a police inspector said.

“Yes, this can indeed be explained as ‘a silent person, under extreme stimulation, experiencing an outburst of pent-up emotions,’” Matsuzawa Saku replied. “However, psychology shows that human rationality is strong enough to overcome emotions. The vast majority of people will simply continue to endure it and will not explode.”

Matsuzawa Saku continued, "Secondly, why did Honda Ichiro leave a suicide note and take his own life?"

"Is there any value in investigating this? He committed suicide because he wanted to take all the responsibility with his death. Leaving a suicide note was his way of protecting his wife and daughter. Is there a problem?" someone asked.

"So did he protect them? A mother with no income and a daughter who needs a lot of money to go to university. Even if the Yasuda Group doesn't retaliate, their lives probably won't be easy," Matsuzawa Saku retorted. "Moreover, if he really wanted to protect his family, he should have taken his wife and daughter and moved far away."

"Perhaps he has avenged his great enemy and fulfilled his wish; he simply wants to write a will to express his feelings," a police inspector said after thinking for a moment.
