There is no tragedy in Kamen Rider

jingle!

The doorbell rang, and Hikawa Makoto and the slightly hurried Hojo Toru walked in together.

"Hey. Officer Hikawa and Officer Hojo, you're here. Why are you a little late today? Are you going to follow the usual routine today as well?"

Hanamura Hisashi asked as he looked at Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru who walked in, picking up a bag in his hand.

"Excuse me, Uncle Hanamura (the boss)."

Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru both answered, then sat down on the chairs in the store with some tiredness, took the water handed to them by Kiba Yuji and took a big sip.

After finishing a glass of water, Hojo Toru angrily told the reason why they were late today.

"This morning, Glacier and I handled a murder case. After investigating the scene, we didn't find any evidence."

"Murder? Aren't there any cameras around?"

Hanamura Hisashi handed the bread to the two of them.

"Yes, Uncle Hanamura. This murder case is a closed-room murder case. After today's investigation, we inferred that it might be caused by an internal dispute over the company's shares, but since there is no clear evidence, we are unable to identify the suspect for the time being."

When Hanamura Hisashi heard that it was a locked room murder case, he nodded solemnly.

As far as he knew, the locked room murder case was the most difficult to solve in Japan at this stage, especially when there was no surveillance nearby.

"Glacier, don't worry. The two of us will definitely be able to find evidence to identify the murderer!"

Although Hojo Toru spoke with confidence, he could not hide the solemnity in the corners of his eyes.

jingle!

As the doorbell rang, a familiar voice came over.

"If you want to find evidence, I have a way."

Chapter 13: Showdown

A voice was heard, and a team led by Toru Takahashi, Naoki Kaito in the middle, and Yuka Nagata at the end walked into the bakery.

"Takahashi, do you know any way to find evidence?"

Hikawa Makoto looked at the mystery on Takahashi Toru's face and immediately became expectant. Hojo Toru, who was standing next to him, also looked solemn when he saw this. He sat even more upright, like a soldier being inspected.

"That's right, Officer Glacier. But you two have to keep it a secret! Otherwise, I won't tell you the method."

Takahashi Toru nodded slightly, then gave serious instructions to Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru.

"Mr. Takahashi, please rest assured! Hikawa and I will never reveal any information about the helpers, please trust us. If the information about the helpers is known to others, Hikawa and I will be punished by you. Please!"

Hojo Toru immediately stood up after hearing what Takahashi Toru said, bowed to Takahashi Toru and spoke with sincerity. Hikawa Makoto next to him also bowed, but the two were soon lifted up by Takahashi Toru's hands.

"Yoshi. Then I will trust you for now. From now on, please take good care of Haitang Naoya."

As Takahashi Toru said this, he looked at Naoya Kaito behind him. Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru followed his line of sight and saw Naoya Kaito behind him. The two of them immediately looked at each other subconsciously and both read the meaning in each other's eyes.

Can this bearded man in front of me do it?

Haitang Naoya looked at the scrutiny in the two people's eyes and immediately hid behind Takahashi Toru. He poked his head out with a little fear and said, "Brother Takahashi, didn't you say you would bring me to perform the work assessment? What are you doing now?"

"Haitang, did you look at the bakery's slogan again when you came here?"

"Yes. Saori Bakery, bread that brings happiness to people." Haitang Naoya's memory has become much stronger after he became Orphino. Although he only took a glance when he came here just now, he also remembered it. But he didn't know what this had to do with his interview.

Hanamura Hisashi at the table also understood the situation after seeing it. The man named Haitang in front of him was probably the next employee.

Immediately, Hanamura Hisashi stood up and walked to the side of Haitang Naoya, and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Haitang, right? My name is Hanamura Hisashi, and I'm one of the owners of this bakery. You can just call me uncle like Takahashi and the others. Since Takahashi chose to introduce you to the bakery, he must have recognized your character, but as the owner, I still need to be responsible."

"The dream of our Saori Bakery is to make every customer who tastes our bread feel happy. If our customers are unhappy and we have the ability to help, shouldn't we take the initiative to lend a helping hand?"

Haitang Naoya nodded in confusion after listening to Hanamura Hisashi's words, but still said with some doubt: "But I don't know how to help them? And don't I still have to take the test?"

Hanamura Hisashi laughed at the look on Naoya Kaitang's face.

"Haha. Haitang, helping Officer Glacier is their assessment for you."

"Since Uncle Hanamura said so, then I will agree. But let me make this clear first, I can't guarantee that I can help." After hearing that helping them meant taking the assessment, Haitang Naoya agreed.

Upon seeing this, Takahashi Toru looked at Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru. "Officer Hikawa, if possible, please hand the items from the crime scene to Haitang."

Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru immediately understood what Takahashi Toru said. The Haitang Nao in front of them was also a human with superpowers. They immediately ran to the police car outside and took a bag containing items.

Haitang Naoya immediately closed his eyes after taking the bag from the two. However, after keeping his eyes closed for a while, his brows did frown. He said impatiently and frustratedly, "No. I can't see anything."

Looking at Haitang Naoya's expression, Takahashi Toru patted his shoulder gently and encouraged him, "Haitang, don't be anxious. Relax your mind. Thinking too hard will only lead to failure. Just think of something that you are familiar with."

"The most familiar...thing?"

Haitang Naoya immediately followed Takahashi Toru's instructions, and moved his hands again, with his right hand playing a guitar, and his frown disappeared. Soon, he whispered what he saw.

"I saw you two officers, Curry, Chili..."

Hikawa Makoto and Hojo Toru listened to Kaitang Naoya reciting the clues they had obtained through investigation as if he was reading out the names of dishes, and an excited look immediately appeared on their faces.

They are about to know the truth!

"…I saw a man lying in blood, tied up by another man wearing a hat, and then walked out. There was a nameplate on the man's body, Sanyang Co., Ltd. Eh? Isn't this the company I was supposed to interview for today? Masks, many masks came from the crack of the door, and there was a knife in front of the mask. The knife was worn by the mask and killed the tied man. There was a lot of blood... A cabinet, the mask was put in the cabinet and locked."

"Haitang, did you see clearly what the cabinet looks like?"

Hojo Toru asked, with a bright gleam in his eyes. He now knew how to kill people in a secret room, and all he had to do next was find the mask!

"I'm sorry, officer. I couldn't see anything else except the mask being put in the cabinet."

Haitang Naoya opened his eyes and spoke a little embarrassedly, then looked at Hanamura Hisashi expectantly, waiting for an answer.

"Yo, Haitang, you have passed the assessment. You can start working after training." Hanamura Hisashi patted Haitang's shoulder vigorously, full of joy.

Haitang Naoya smiled stupidly when he saw this, and then said to Hikawa Makoto and the other man, "By the way, officers. I also smelled a smell of...garlic from above, a very unpleasant smell of garlic."

"Garlic!" ×2

"The manager I asked before! The mask must be in his safe now. It's really hard to see clearly here." In an instant, Hojo Toru completely sorted out his thoughts. After looking at Hikawa Makoto, he immediately ran out of the store, got in the police car and drove towards Sanyang Co., Ltd.

Toru Takahashi watched the two men leave, turned around to say goodbye to everyone in the bakery, and continued driving the Chaser forward.

……

Early morning, Zhinao Company, the president’s office.

Murakami Kyoji looked at the report handed over by the smartlady, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by an angry but extremely restrained cold face.

Smartlady at the side looked at Murakami Gorge's extremely bad face and could only fold her hands into a ball, rubbing her eyes sadly, and said with self-blame: "I'm sorry, sorry, President. I have tried my best to tell Takahashi about your request. But I don't know if it's because Takahashi was too excited, resulting in a lot less Aofyno in the company recently. I'm really sad. Woo woo woo."

Murakami Kyo'er's face turned even worse when he heard Smartlady's crying. The report in his hand was twisted and shattered in the palm of his hand.

call!

After a long while, Murakami Kyo took a deep breath and then said to Smartlady with a smile: "Notify Takahashi Toru to come over. There are some things I need to explain to him in detail now."

"I understand, President. I will tell Takahashi right away." Smartlady put down the hand that was wiping away the non-existent tears.

Boom!

Murakami Kyo watched Smartlady close the door before angrily crushing the report in his hand with great force, looking out the window with anger and fear in his eyes.

"Takahashi Toru, why on earth did you join Ophiino?"

Murakami Kyo couldn't understand what Takahashi Toru was doing now. In order to further concentrate the power of Zhinao Company, he ordered Takahashi Toru to eliminate Orphino who was not on his side.

At first, Takahashi Toru completed the task very well, and even could be said to have completed it beyond the target impatiently. However, starting from the second day, he received a series of attacks from his own Aophiono, who was also attacked by Takahashi Toru. He originally thought that he had just accidentally killed him, and immediately told him the characteristics of his own Aophiono, but it was useless. Takahashi Toru still killed the human being with one punch without thinking twice.

"Ugh."

Murakami Gorge sighed helplessly.

He didn't think he could defeat Takahashi Toru. Even if that group of old guys and the guy hiding underneath were added together, they would not be a match for Takahashi Toru.

"It seems that I can only tell him about the king. I hope he will change his mind after knowing the fate of Ophino."

In Murakami Kyoji's opinion, Takahashi Toru will definitely choose to cooperate with him after knowing about the king. After all, no one has remained unchanged in the face of the threat of losing freedom and death after having power.

This is the biggest trump card why Murakami Kyoji let him join Zhinao Company even though he knew he could not defeat Takahashi Toru.

On the other side, Toru Takahashi also received a notification from Smartlady after killing a Lucky Orpheino.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Takahashi-kun, the president wants to talk to you about something. It seems that it's because you've killed too many people recently. Takahashi-kun, the president has full control of the power. You must be careful, be careful."

Toru Takahashi immediately laughed when he heard the smartlady's distinctive voice.

"Haha, I get it, smartlady."

After hanging up the phone, Takahashi Toru looked at the boss in front of him, whose eyes showed some fear and gratitude, and immediately picked up a can of tea in front of him.

"Boss, I'll accept this can of tea as a thank you gift."

The teahouse owner looked at Takahashi Toru's actions and nodded subconsciously, then thanked him nervously, stuttering, "A...Arigato."

Takahashi Toru turned around and left, and just raised the tea leaves in his hand after hearing the thanks.

After coming outside, Takahashi Toru rode on the Chaser and rushed all the way to the downstairs of the Intelligent Brain Company. After taking the elevator, he walked into Murakami Kyo's office amidst fearful, indifferent and curious gazes.

Boom!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Murakami Kyo turned his chair around and looked at Takahashi Toru.

Looking at Takahashi Toru, who was still feared and terrified by the monsters, Murakami Kyo sighed in his heart.

"Takahashi-kun, long time no see. Thank you for your hard work during this period..."

Takahashi Toru listened patiently to what Murakami Kyoer in front of him said without interrupting. After all, he transferred the 1 million yen on the card to his own card, so he should be polite.

After a while, Murakami Kyo finally finished his preparations and moved on to the key issues.

"Takahashi-kun, what do you think of us, Aoife?"

"President, we, Ophino, are humans that evolved due to the great desire in our hearts when facing death."

Without hesitation, Toru Takahashi explained the origin of Orphion in detail.

Murakami Kyo just shook his head after hearing Takahashi Toru's answer.

"Takahashi-kun, what you said is only the origin of our Ophieno, which we all know. But there is one thing you may not know, about the king of our Ophieno!"

"The King of Ophienoch?"

When Takahashi Toru heard this, he became a little confused, and his mind immediately thought of the ability of the Gurongi he had killed before.

It would be bad if the King of Ophieno mentioned by Murakami Gorge had the same or similar abilities as that Gurongi. Once the number of Ophienos reaches a certain number, the evil forces among them will definitely come forward to instigate and force those who want to continue to live as humans to start a war.

Murakami Kyoer looked at the change in Takahashi Toru's expression and smiled with satisfaction, then looked out the window with his hands behind his back.

"Takahashi, you should have discovered that the vitality of our Orphino is lost faster than that of humans. According to the information from our Intelligent Brain Company, the King of Orphino has an ability that can make our shortcomings disappear and gain eternal life. But..."

Murakami Kyoer paused, took a deep breath, and said angrily: "But our Orphino will lose his freedom after the so-called king uses this ability, and even his life and death will be in his hands. I can't believe this, Takahashi-kun, you think so too, right?"

Facing Murakami Kyo'er's expectant gaze, Takahashi Toru nodded heavily, acknowledging the importance of freedom.

He remembered a celebrity once said, love is precious, but life is more precious, and both can be abandoned for freedom.

"Takahashi-kun, join forces with me. Let's find the so-called king, figure out his secrets, and then use the technology of the Intelligent Brain Company to help us gain immortality!"

Murakami Kyoji looked at Takahashi Toru who agreed with his idea and his face became even brighter, and he once again extended the invitation.

"I reject!"

"I knew Takahashi you would definitely..."

Chapter 14: Showdown

"I knew Takahashi that you would definitely... Wait! Takahashi, you said you refused?"

Murakami Kyoji asked uncertainly after he realized what was happening.

"Yes, I said no."

Takahashi Toru spoke clearly word by word, with a hint of dissatisfaction and complaints on his face.

How could such an idiotic conversation happen to a highly intelligent and shrewd guy like Murakami Kyoji? Who arranged this?

But despite his complaints, Takahashi Toru still picked up the Delta phone with one hand and prepared to transform. Although Murakami Kyoer in front of him could only withstand two punches before turning into gray sand, even if Takahashi Toru did not transform, he thought it would be better to transform into Delta, after all, in his opinion, this belt was used to hunt Orphino.

Murakami Kyo'er looked at Takahashi Toru's actions and immediately fixed his eyes. He held back the harsh words in his mouth and said with a red face: "Takahashi-kun, don't you want to have the ability to live forever? Can an Orphino with such great power like you endure the passing of your life?"

"Murakami, I don't want to and I won't. Maybe you think immortality is a powerful ability now, but when you really have it, you will find that it is just a curse."
