Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"I really miss you so much, Yukino-chan."

He couldn't help but hold Yukino in his arms, the warm feeling didn't change at all.

Wherever my heart belongs is my hometown.

After not seeing each other for several months, Yukino still missed him terribly. She couldn't help but look at his slightly thinner face and light stubble, which seemed to have a more vicissitudes of life.

"You've lost weight. Go home and have some good nourishment." Yukino said softly.

Hachiman couldn't help but gently touch her lips. It wasn't as exaggerated as before, but in Shiyu's eyes, it was like a sour grape.

Sure enough, this man's gentleness towards his fiancée is different.

Yukinoshita Yukino holds a special place in his heart.

The pain of missing her sister was slightly relieved. Yukino opened her mouth from Hachiman's embrace with a slightly blushing cheek, and waved her hand to call her sister over.

Yang Yan walked up to the two of them with brisk steps, supporting her hands behind her back and smiling. This was what made her different from her sister who looked the same as her. She was like a sunflower under the sun.

"Hello, brother-in-law. I've heard Sister Yukino talk about you a long time ago. You are indeed an interesting person."

There was a sincere smile in her eyes, as if the prank just now had nothing to do with her.

Yukino went on to explain, "This is Kagerou... Actually, I only found out recently that my father took Kagerou away to raise her. She and I are twin sisters, and my mother has confirmed that as well."

As she spoke, her tone was also a little complicated. Anyone would be confused if a sister who looked like them suddenly appeared.

Hachiman looked at the sisters with interest. Was it because Yukinoshita Kagerou didn't tell Yukino about her identity as the second generation leader of the Sonsei Cult?

"Hello, Yang Yan."

So the young man followed her idea, as if they were meeting for the first time.

Life is really like a drama.

"You have nice lips..."

As expected, Yukino glared at him.

"I'm talking about the name. Your name is very good. It's much more sunny than snow, snow, and snow. So it's said that people are not afraid of having the wrong fate, but are afraid of changing the wrong name. There is too much snow, and the whole person is gloomy, and he likes to act cool."

Yukino seemed to have stepped on the cat's tail: "You are the gloomy one, you are the cold one, you just came back and you will die if you don't insult me, right?"

Yukino began pinching his cheeks.

Yang Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw it: "You two have such a good relationship."

Hachiman began to giggle, and Yukino turned her head away slightly, only to see the somewhat flustered Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Hachiman-kun, who is this?" she asked puzzledly.

But before he could answer, someone walked into the courtyard and shouted in a stern voice.

"Why are you all gathered in the courtyard, Yukino? Didn't I tell you to water the flowers with your sister?"

Yukino's body seemed to be out of control and her head shrank.

Look how scared the child is, these are all sequelae left from early education.

And Yang Yan, because he was unfamiliar with the situation, just smiled and stuck out his tongue.

Hachiman took a step forward and said with a smile, "Mother, I'm back."

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki, who was wearing a tomosode kimono, raised her eyebrows slightly, and endured something with great difficulty, and spoke indifferently.

"Well, I'm glad you're back."

Then, she soon saw Kasumigaoka Utaha not far away. Her eyebrows, features, and black hair with a slight purple tint made it easy for Qingxue to guess her identity. She looked at Xiangzi beside her.

"Xiangzi, this is your daughter Shiyu?"

Murasaki Shikibu slowly put on her tortoise-shell glasses and looked at her daughter whom she had not seen for several years with complicated eyes.

"Hey, who is this? I don't know this kid..."

She said in a lazy tone.

"Ha, what are you talking about, you stinky old woman." Shiyu couldn't help it.

The veins on Xiangzi's temples suddenly bulged.

"Who are you talking about, little brat? I'm going to chop you off."

"Bullshit, you said I was still a baby, but the milk I drank was not produced by you? You are saying you are stinky, you stinky old woman!"

This...the logical chain is clear, well-reasoned and convincing.

Everyone started looking at Xiangzi, as if they were waiting for her to refute, which made Xiangzi very angry.

"When you were a child, I hired a wet nurse."

Fujiwara Kaori raised her chin slightly and said proudly.

Under the snow, Qingxue held her forehead with her hand. It seems that every family has its own problems.

She waved her hand to stop the volcano mother and daughter who wanted to continue erupting, and said.

"Yukino Kagero, come and meet your cousin. Let's get to know each other. We'll be relatives from now on."

Then he looked at Hachiman, a trace of worry flashing across his face.

"Do you know who is outside the door now?"

Hachiman nodded and said, "Of course, the detectives and reporters are all waiting for my reaction."

Whether he chooses to go back with the criminal police for investigation or refuses the investigation, once the reporter reports it, the suspicion of being "filthy and inhuman" will greatly damage his reputation during the election.

Chapter 5: Eating Jail Food

It has to be said that Shinomiya Yunying deliberately provided a route for John to capture Sayuri and lure away Hachiman. During the time he was away, Shinomiya Yunying did not waste the time.

"Have you figured out what's going on?" Hachiman stopped smiling and looked stern.

"Ah, half a month ago, Chief Morita Goro, who was familiar with our family, was forced to take a leave of absence. It was an order from the Chiba Police Headquarters. A week later, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department transferred more than ten people from several investigation sections of the Criminal Police Department to the Chiba West Police Station. Then, they began to investigate the deaths of Zunxing Cult members that occurred in Chiba in the past five years."

"In order to break through the local influence of the Yukinoshita family, do we start with the police system? But, in this case..." Hachiman said thoughtfully.

Yukinoshita Kiyoshi said coldly: "Sigong Yunying broke the original agreement between the two families, so what follows is... war."

The original agreement between the Yukinoshita family and Shinomiya Kaguya was that the Yukinoshita family would help Kaguya ascend to the throne. The Yukinoshita family had never broken the agreement, and even deliberately made a certain degree of separation with Hachiman.

Whether it is a gray area or a game of words, Hachiman's candidacy does not violate the bottom line agreed upon by both parties.

Even with the full support of the Yukinoshita family, Kaguya still can't defeat Hachiman who has no other help at all. What else is there to say?

The Yukinoshita family is not a subordinate of the Shinomiya family.

However, Shinomiya Yunying broke the stable power structure of the Chiba local police system and mobilized the media, hoping to defeat Hachiman with one blow and leave him no chance of recovery. From then on, it was no longer a verbal fight as before, but a physical fight.

It is very likely that Shinomiya Yunying's reckless behavior was due to his reliance on the power of the Shinomiya family, and he did not receive the approval of other groups in Chiba.

You are a young master from Tokyo. You can deal with the Yukinoshita family like this today. Can you deal with them like this tomorrow?

Sigong Yunying has crossed the line.

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki instructed: "Yukino, from now on, don't go to Shinomiya Kaguya's place. Tomorrow, you will visit other families in my name. I need them to make a statement on this matter."

Yukino was about to say something but stopped herself. She had always gotten along well with Shinomiya Kaguya and it was obvious that the girl was not someone who would resort to such means.

But unfortunately, her name is preceded by the three words "Yukinoshita", and her actions must be responsible for the interests of the family.

Finally she nodded.

But these are countermeasures for the future. The current problem is what to do with the criminal police and reporters outside.

"What do you think, Hachiman-kun?" Qingxue asked.

Hachiman let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little regretful when he saw the lively scene before him.

"I was originally planning to go home and have a good rest, but it seems that I am destined to be a hard worker."

Then he held up a cigarette and said calmly, "Choose the lesser of two evils. In any case, if I don't go with the Criminal Police Division, it will probably give the reporters more room to maneuver, especially since these media are all from Shigong Yunying."

The fact that a parliamentary candidate was taken away by the criminal police for investigation on suspicion of murder is, in any case, suspected of defamation. This was an initiative by Shigong Yunying, and it can also be said to be an open conspiracy.

If we refuse to investigate, it will play into his hands. Gossip will be destructive and there will be no chance for us to participate in the next parliamentary election.

Yukino's heart sank slightly, and she couldn't help but grab his hand.

The young man just patted her hand gently and said, "Don't worry, trust your man. This little thing won't be difficult for him."

"......Besides, I really want to try the pork chop rice at the police station."

Seeing Hachiman speaking seriously, Yukino chuckled, "What era are the TV series you watch? Such things are long gone."

"Oh, really? Then we can only have meals delivered to our home." Hachiman couldn't help but say with regret.

Then he said to Qingxue, "I'll trouble you mother with what's going on outside."

Now is not the time to worry about the name. Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki nodded: "I will arrange it. Ye Shan is already preparing it."

The Hayama here refers to Hayato's father. As the long-term legal advisor of Yukinoshita Construction Company, he is also a well-known ace lawyer in the entire Kanto region.

He glanced at Yang Yan and Shi Yu, then waved and walked out the door.

Qingxue held the fan handle tightly in her hand, her fingers turning white, as if she was trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

Hachiman said to Takada Takeya who had caught up with him, "Uncle Take, I'm going to trouble you this time."

The taciturn middle-aged man was expressionless as usual: "Master, you say."

"After I go in..."

A few minutes after leaving Yukinoshita's house, Hachiman had a conversation with the middle-aged man.

Then, the moment he walked out, countless flashes of light shone on his face.

Standing in the front is still Kudo Mika's charming and mature face.

However, compared with the usual domineering search, the Criminal Investigation Department, which had received a slap in the face from Hachiman as soon as they met, did not dare to be careless at this moment.

"Mr. Hikigaya, I hope you can go to the police station with us, or it would be more appropriate to call you Mr. Yukinoshita?"

Kudo Mika said with a slight malice.

The young man put his hands over his eyes to block the glare of the flash, and his thin face looked gentle and respectful, as if he was harmless. If Kudo Mika had not seen the death files with her own eyes, she would not have associated this man with the murderer with blood on his hands.

Of course, there was also the foolish man who personally ordered the police car to be crashed into the river.

Through years of professional practice, she has seen too many so-called good kids among relatives and neighbors commit crimes that go beyond the bottom line of human evil.

"She hasn't married in yet, so Hikigaya is fine." The young man joked as if he was chatting with a friend.

But Kudo Mika still had a stern face and ignored him.

The young man thought for a moment, then continued, "I don't think I know you, nor have I ever offended you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the expression on Kudo Mika's face froze, but soon returned to normal.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Please cooperate, Mr. Hikigaya."

This was also what Hachiman couldn't understand. He was sure that he didn't know this policewoman with a domineering air, but her malice towards her seemed to go beyond the scope of work. Although she tried hard to hide it, her personality was too straightforward and naturally she couldn't escape the eyes of a fox like him.

"No need for handcuffs," he joked.

"No need. This time we just ask you to go to the police station to assist in the investigation." Officer Kudo said sternly.

Hachiman faced the reporters with a businesslike smile and answered their questions with random words.

"If I can provide any powerful assistance in solving the murder case, I will spare no effort."

He got into the police car, and with him was the bald Nishikawa who served as his bodyguard.

"General, my master asked me to protect you well." He seemed to be talking to the other people in the police car.

Hachiman just smiled.

When they arrived at the door of Chiba Nishi Police Station, Hachiman said to Nishikawa with some sigh.

"When I was little, my dad's only hope for me was that I would not end up in the police station. But unfortunately, I still ended up in jail."

Chapter 6 I can't do anything

Time gradually approached dusk, and it had been more than three hours since Hachiman stepped into the police station. Chiba, which should have been gradually quieting down, began to become turbulent because of the fact that someone was in the police station.

Hachiman sat in the summons room, his chin supported by one hand, his eyes fixed on the files handed over by Kudo Mika and her men, while the bald Nishikawa stood beside him like a door god.

"Mr. Hikigaya, where were you two years ago, on the night of April 20, 4XX? What impression do you have of the person in the photo, Takuro Ishikawa?"
