"There are still people on the list mentioned in this notebook who have not been killed. We need to find them as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll report this to Chief Hattori right away."

Ginjiro Toyama left in such a hurry that Kaoru Kazama lost all interest in staying there any longer.

Based on the killer's personality, he would basically lure out members of the theft ring and kill them one by one.

Therefore, Bizen Heishiro should be the only member in Osaka.

According to the group's activity centers, besides Tokyo and Osaka, there is also Kyoto, which is known as Japan's ancient capital with a thousand-year history. We need to report this as soon as possible.

So Kazama Kaoru and Miwako returned to Tokyo overnight, and the case of Bizen Heishiro's murder was no longer their concern.

The Osaka Prefectural Police wouldn't allow officers from Tokyo to interfere; they clearly distinguish between primary and secondary roles in assistance.

By the time they arrived at Tokyo Haneda Airport, it was already 9:30 in the morning.

By the time the two of them arrived at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department by taxi, they had both become national treasures, like giant pandas.

What's rather strange is that the one in better condition wasn't Kaoru Kazama, whose physical abilities were exceptional, but rather Miwako.

Sure enough, staying up late has nothing to do with physical condition; it depends on mental strength.

As for the notebook that was discovered at the time, a copy was made in Osaka, and it was originally brought back by Kaoru Kazama.

She also brought back the painting, which could be considered her spoils of war, since it was Kaoru Kazama who found it.

"Very good, Kazama, you've really given the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department a lot of credit this time. I'll report your speculation to the Kyoto Prefectural Police as well. You two should go and rest for a bit; the tasks ahead are still very demanding, and you won't be able to complete them without a good mental state."

"Then we're leaving."

Kaoru Kazama, supported by Miwako like a walking corpse, answered weakly.

Kaoru Kazama, who was suffering from severe sleep deprivation, simply couldn't keep up with the energetic Inspector Megure.

She finally understood that being a night owl is something you're born with; it's a talent.

Instead of making do in the lounge, Miwako and Kaoru Kazama chose to take the train home.

Kaoru Kazama is alright; although she usually drives, she also takes the train quite often.

But this was quite unusual for Miwako.

The speedometer of Sister Thirteen in Central never drops below eighty; this is her life motto.

The fact that she can now sit obediently on the train is enough to bring tears of relief to all her colleagues in the Metropolitan Police Department who have been driven by her.

"Chris, remember to set an alarm for me, I'm going to sleep now."

Kazama Kaoru's voice had turned into a murmur by the time she finished speaking.

There was no one home at the house. Ai had gone to school, and Akemi had probably gone out to buy groceries. She found her bedroom with her eyes closed and then did a 360-degree mid-air spin.

He buried himself in the warm bed with a Thomas Flair move with a difficulty rating of 9.9, and then immediately lost consciousness.

Chapter 374 The Ambiguous Relationship Between the Police Force and Phantom Thief Kid

"Ring ring ring".

Kaoru Kazama, who was awakened by a ringing phone, frowned deeply and grabbed the phone from the bedside table before even opening her eyes.

She has practiced this set of movements countless times and is very proficient at it.

"Moshi moshi, I am Kazama."

"Xiao Xun, news came from Kyoto that a murder occurred early yesterday morning. The victim's name is Suruga Jiro, which is exactly the same as the name written in that diary."

Miwako's voice came through the receiver, and this explosive news immediately woke Kaoru Kazama from his sleep.

"What did you say, early yesterday morning? Did I hear that right?"

Kaoru Kazama glanced down at his watch. It was only 6:30 in the afternoon. He couldn't have slept for a whole day and night, could he?

"You heard right. It was early yesterday morning, about four hours after the victim in Osaka was found. The time of death of the two people has been compared."

"No way, could it be that the murderer somehow learned about the police's information and attacked the people in Kyoto ahead of time?"

This is really strange. Bizen Heishiro from Osaka was found dead in his restaurant at 12:30 a.m. The time of death was confirmed by the autopsy to be around 12:00 a.m.

The body found in Kyoto was discovered at 4:30 a.m., and the two incidents were at most five hours apart.

Although Kyoto is not far from Osaka, the question is why the murderer was in such a hurry to attack people in Kyoto and Osaka overnight. Was it because they were more important, or because the hatred was deeper?

At this moment, Kaoru Kazama's mind was filled with a million questions.

However, there's no time to think about it now; judging from the current situation, things have already developed to a very serious point.

Victims have been found in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Although Genji Hotaru's activities are centered around these three cities, who knows if this murderer will target people in other places as well.

Allowing someone with extraordinary strength who cannot control himself to remain active in society for even a day is irresponsible towards maintaining social order.

Kaoru Kazama could guess that the higher-ups would be furious this time.

They might even have to hold a joint meeting or a press conference to explain the seriousness of the situation.

"Xiao Xun, you're finally up. What would you like to eat?"

Kazama Kaoru wasn't speaking quietly when she was on the phone with Miwako, so it wasn't surprising that Akemi, who was watching TV in the living room, heard it.

"The curry rice is ready, the sooner the better, I'm going out in a bit."

Kazama Kaoru dressed in front of Akemi without a care in the world. In the past, he might have been more concerned, since his identity might be exposed.

But now, from a physiological point of view, these are things that everyone has, so what's there to be ashamed of?

"You guys are really busy. I'll go prepare the curry right away. You go wash up."

Akemi pointed to Kaoru Kazama's head, and only then did she notice that her long hair had turned into a hedgehog.

I looked in the mirror.

Well, if he wore a full set of red armor, he'd definitely look like Madara Uchiha.

To better portray the character, Kaoru Kazama even activated his Sharingan in front of a mirror.

Within his crimson Sharingan, three tomoe were slowly rotating. Kazama Kaoru twitched the corners of his mouth, realizing that he seemed unable to produce the Uchiha maniacal laughter.

She's a person who cares about her reputation; that kind of unrestrained smile was a bit too embarrassing.

The chuunibyou (delusional) Uchiha clan is something most people can't imitate.

After her impromptu cosplay session ended, Kaoru Kazama quickly went to the bathroom and took a long, hot shower.

It even washed the hedgehog's head clean.

This is a habit she developed after her hair grew longer than her shoulders.

Kaoru Kazama, who had kept her hair short for 25 years and always washed it with just a little cold water, realized for the first time how heavy long hair was when it got wet.

Especially when your physical condition is still very poor at the beginning, you might need to rest for half a day after washing your hair.

So ever since then, Kaoru Kazama has always combined washing her hair with taking a bath.

"Wow, it smells so good, Akemi. You are the perfect wife and mother."

Kaoru Kazama, her hair wrapped in a towel, walked out in slippers and sighed.

Originally portrayed as a free-spirited and rebellious woman, her stunning beauty transformed her into a natural and unadorned beauty, a walking embodiment of elegance and natural charm.

"What's wrong, Akemi? What are you standing there for? Are you stunned by my handsomeness?"

As soon as Kaoru saw Akemi's eyes glazed over, he knew what was going on.

A cross-dressing man emerging from the bath automatically activates his allure, doubling the effect.

This could be considered a hidden effect.

However, there are pros and cons. If she attracts someone that even Kazama Kaoru can't beat, and gets too distracted, then her personal safety will be hard to guarantee.

"Snap out of it, let's eat."

The buttons of her pajamas were fastened loosely, revealing her fair collarbone and a small patch of her chest.

Yes, it's the chest, because the slope is zero, so it doesn't form a **.

"I need to go to the restroom first."

Mingmei suddenly covered her nose and ran to the toilet in small steps, clearly overwhelmed by the stimulation.

A fairy like Kaoru Kazama just needs a Fahai to subdue her.

Unfortunately, in her home now, Akemi is a gentle lady and Ai is a mad scientist, so there is no one who counters her. Therefore, she can only cause trouble in this peaceful world.

But the fairy-like Kaoru Kazama was completely oblivious to all of this, and ate his curry rice in front of him with utterly lack of manners.

She spooned the food into her mouth, and although there were chopsticks next to her, for someone who valued speed and efficiency, a spoon was naturally more convenient and quicker.

When Akemi returned from the restroom after calming down, Kaoru Kazama was already dressed in his work clothes and ready to leave.

Her upper body was a dark blue police uniform, and her lower body was a short skirt, which perfectly embodied the words "debonair and dashing".

Even after living with Kaoru Kazama for so long, this was the first time Akemi had ever seen such a uniform temptation.

It's because the police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department don't like wearing uniforms.

Or, to put it another way, due to the nature of the First Investigation Division's work, wearing plainclothes makes it easier to communicate with the public and obtain information about criminals.

"Akemi, I'm leaving."

Kaoru Kazama used his left hand to open the door and his right hand to turn the car key.

Have a safe trip and drive safely.

"I see."

The sound came through vaguely; she was already in the stairwell.

She was already very content to be able to steal a long nap amidst her busy schedule.

It's certainly not comparable to my usual laid-back life, but what can I do during this special time?

Encountering such a serial murder case is bound to cause chaos and unrest.

During their free time on the road, Kaoru Kazama even asked Chris to recite some Japanese history.

It wasn't that she was speaking out of personal feeling; she mainly wanted to understand the background of this case.
