Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"My testimony now has a bearing on whether you can be convicted, brother-in-law, and it also has a bearing on the outcome of this congressional election. The outcome of this congressional election will affect the future struggle for the leadership of the Shinomiya family. Brother-in-law, don't you think this is a great opportunity to catch a rich man?"

Yukinoshita Kagerou was giggling, and then she received a call from Shinomiya Yunying, and Kagerou turned on the speaker.

Sure enough, the additional conditions added by Shinomiya Yunying included cash, connections in the Ministry of Education (which manages religion), and even a promise to provide land for building a shrine at a preferential price. It was truly a huge loss.

After hanging up the phone, Yukinoshita Kagerou asked with interest: "So, brother-in-law, what conditions do you have for me not to testify?"

Hachiman glanced at her, but still didn't understand this guy's purpose. If it was just for profit, it didn't seem necessary to make it so complicated. However, no matter what she was thinking, it didn't matter to him.

"Originally, I thought I could become a family with you." Hachiman sighed.

"Brother-in-law, you are deceiving yourself by saying this. After all, even if it's not this time, you will eventually reveal the truth about my father's death in front of Sister Yukino like this." Yang Yan said.

Hachiman laughed to himself, "You're right."

Soon he got back to business: "My resources are not as strong as Sigong Yunying's, but there is one thing he can't compare to."

"Oh?"

"If you want to make Yukino suffer, this time... you will be satisfied." Hachiman said.

Eventually, Kagero agreed to the special conditions proposed by Hachiman.

Chapter 68: The Tragedy of Kudo Mika

Near the Chiba Police Station, Kudo Mika and Shirai Hisashi are purchasing supplies.

Due to the water and electricity cut-off due to the arrest of Hachiman, these detectives from Tokyo now have to ensure at least a week's supply of food and water, and they also have a small diesel generator.

Shirai Hisashi looked at the heroic Kudo Mika and felt a little moved. Firstly, he had not received any favor from the Shinomiya family, and secondly, he had no grudge against Hikigaya Hachiman. However, the biggest reason he was willing to follow Takeda Naoki, besides repaying his teacher's kindness, was naturally Kudo Mika.

"Kudo, when are we going to withdraw to Tokyo? After all, Hikigaya Hachiman has been prosecuted."

He was really worried. The calmer the situation was recently, the more uneasy he felt, as if there was always an eye watching them in Chiba.

Kudo Mika glanced at him and said, "I know what you mean, but Takeda-sensei doesn't want to leave, and I also...well, I think you should take the guys and retreat now."

After all, she and Takeda Nao came here for their own purposes, but Shirai Hisashi and others did not.

"What are you talking about? How could I leave you alone?" Shirai Shou said angrily.

"Shirai, you..." Even if Kudo Mika was dumb, she could tell that the tone was unusual.

The two were silent for a while, and then Kudo said: "In fact, since the Yukinoshita family knows that Yukinoshita Yusuke was killed by Hikigaya Hachiman, then his greatest support in Chiba is gone, and our situation is not so dangerous."

Shirai Hisashi also understood this truth, but he always felt a sense of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

"Ah, there's a croquette shop over there. Isn't that your favorite?" Shirai Hisashi immediately pulled Kudo Mika over.

Kudo was a little surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

"Usually your takeout orders are not collected, but you hide them and eat them secretly because you are worried that your subordinates will see you and it will damage your dignity." Shirai Shou said with a smile.

The two bought a croquette. Ever since they came to Chiba, their nerves have been on edge. Not to mention croquettes, they may not even be able to have a complete three meals a day.

Kudo had a strange feeling in her heart. She understood what Shirai Hisashi had just said. In the past, she had always regarded him as a good friend and brother, but never considered him as a person of the opposite sex.

"I still need some time to adapt to our identities." In the end, Kudo Mika gave a not-bad answer.

"real!"

Suddenly, an ecstatic smile appeared on Bai Jingshou's face. The stubborn stone was really enlightened by his attitude of "dripping water wears away stone".

“Don’t, don’t do this…” Kudo felt a little embarrassed.

But just when the two were in a good atmosphere, Shirai Hisashi was suddenly startled. Looking at the young man walking on the side of the road, when he walked up to them, he suddenly took out a machete from his waist and chopped at Kudo Mika from behind.

"Be careful." Shirai Hisashi pulled Kudo over and stretched out his hand to block the machete.

The next moment, the wound felt like a burn, burning with pain.

Shirai Shou subconsciously tried to kick the young man away, but to his surprise, he found that the young man was quite skilled and actually jumped back to avoid the attack.

"Shirai, are you okay?" Kudo Mika subconsciously took out her gun and pointed it at the boy with the knife.

"The ligament may be broken. You'd better be careful with this guy. He is not an ordinary gangster." Shirai Shou said, covering the wound on his hand.

Fortunately, due to the tense situation, Takeda Naoto allowed them to carry guns for self-protection when they were not on duty.

What was frightening was that they only now realized that the streets had been "cleared" and there were no pedestrians at all. Then, from the deep alleys on various parts of the streets, young men with knives kept coming out, which made Kudo's back chill.

"There is no surveillance here, so don't bother with them." Shirai Shou said, gritting his teeth.

Kudo Mika understood and immediately fired a shot into the sky, and then shot at the feet of the boy who had just injured Shirai Hisashi. Sure enough, some of the fearless boys were eventually stunned by the gunshots. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kudo and Shirai Hisashi quickly ran out of the breakthrough.

Fortunately, Shirai Hisashi only injured his hand and did not need anyone's support. Behind the two of them, more than a dozen young men with knives rushed over like a tide.

"Hurry back to the police station." said Shirai Hisashi.

But Kudo Mika's cell phone rang, and considering that there might be other situations, she quickly picked it up.

"Ku-Kudo, don't go back to the police station. Those local bastards have been paid to trap us all there. Come to point A. We'll meet up in twenty minutes."

Kudo Mika's heart couldn't help but tighten. The thing she least wanted finally happened.

"It's Vice Captain Maeda's voice."

Shirai Shou was also a little confused, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "Let's go to the emergency contact point."

Due to the special and dangerous nature of the mission, they set up contact points in several secret places in Chiba when they arrived. If they encounter dangerous situations, they will use the contact points as bases to consider retreat.

"Okay." Kudo Mika said to Shirai Hisashi, but she was a little confused as to why there was no news from Mr. Takeda.

But the person chasing them was right behind her, and the gun in his hand posed a greater threat than actual harm, so she didn't have time to think about it.

About twenty minutes later, after successfully shaking off the knife-wielding teenagers, they came to an abandoned cabin in the dense forest.

But Maeda was the only one standing there, looking extremely embarrassed.

Seeing this, Kudo Mika said.

"Where is Takeda-sensei? Where is he?"

But Maeda shifted his gaze slightly, and suddenly a sound was heard from another part of the dense forest.

"Are you looking for this guy?" A female voice with a hint of mockery came over.

Kudo Mika saw a bald man pulling Takeda Nao by the back of the collar and dragging him slowly towards her on the ground. Takeda Nao was covered in blood and was dying.

"Teacher Takeda! You guys..."

Suddenly, Kudo Mika saw clearly that they were coming: the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Yukinoshita Haruno, and the head of the Yukinoshita Security Group, the bald Nishikawa.

"Let go of Teacher Takeda!" Kudo Mika said excitedly, holding the gun.

But Shirai Hisashi seemed to realize something was wrong, but it was too late.

Suddenly, she noticed that her companions were standing there motionless and indifferent.

Maeda quickly ran to Haruno and said in a panic and excitement: "Ms. Yukinoshita, I have brought Kudo and Shirai here as you ordered. Now you can let me go."

Kudo Mika's heart seemed to be torn apart: "Vice Captain Maeda! Why..."

Maeda has always been Takeda Nao's deputy, a person who creates an atmosphere for the group. He usually looks harmless. Although his abilities are average, he is very nice to them.

"Because I have to go back alive. My wife and children are still waiting for me. Takeda has received the favor of Shinomiya, so if he dies, his family will get a large sum of money. But I have been with him for more than ten years. What can I get if I die? I can't die here!"

Maeda seemed to be being tortured, and he looked a little nervous.

"Okay." Yang No agreed, and Maeda seemed relieved.

But Yono reached out to Nishikawa, and Nishikawa showed a row of shiny teeth, took out a SIG P226 pistol, loaded it, and handed it to Yono, who handed it to Maeda and said.

"If you shoot this woman, I will let you go." Her smile seemed like the smile of a devil.

"You bastard!" Kudo Mika clenched her fists, veins bulging.

Shirai Shou stood in front of Kudo, but Nishikawa shot him in the knee with a clean shot. Shirai screamed and fell to the ground.

"Shirai!"

Yang No said with a smile: "Don't move, I will be very angry if you ruin the game. After all, I am a very stingy person. Okay, Maeda, do it."

Miss Yukinoshita said in a soft voice and handed the pistol to Maeda.

Maeda held the pistol with trembling hands, his teeth chattering, and kept looking back and forth between Kudo Mika and Haruno. Finally, he pointed the gun at Kudo with both hands.

"Deputy Captain Maeda..." Kudo's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

Maeda's hands were shaking, his fingers moving back and forth on the trigger, and then he spoke in a crying voice.

"Kudo....Run!"

Then, he immediately turned the gun towards Yang No and pulled the trigger. Everything happened in just a moment.

However, after pulling the trigger, there was no expected blood-spurting scene, and after firing, there was nothing.

"Unfortunately, this gun has no bullets." Yang Nai's mouth stretched open with a rampant smile.

At the last moment, Maeda smiled at Kudo.

Sorry, I'm still as useless as always.

Nishikawa punched Maeda so hard that his head collapsed and his life or death was unknown.

"Deputy Captain! Ah...ah..." Kudo said in a heart-wrenching voice, and the painful emotion spread uncontrollably throughout her body.

Falling to the ground, Shirai Shou pulled out a pistol, but was also shot away by Nishikawa.

"Ms. Kudo, don't cry. You're just a vice-captain. If all your men died, what kind of wonderful expression would you make?"

As she spoke, Yang No clapped her hands lightly, and a group of bodyguards in suits came out from the woods, carrying Kudo's companions who were already covered in wounds.

"Kudo, go away and leave us alone."

"Kudo, avenge us, let's go."

A familiar face made Kudo Mika's eyes red and she let out a low growl.

"It's okay, you can go. No one will chase you. Don't worry, I, Yukinoshita Haruno, mean what I say."

Kudo knew that the woman said this on purpose. If she really left, he would undoubtedly live with irretrievable guilt for the rest of his life.

It was he and Teacher Takeda who dragged these people into this vortex of struggle. We cannot let anything happen to them again.

"What do you want...?" Kudo said through gritted teeth.

She is not a fool. If Yukinoshita Haruno wanted to kill her, she wouldn't have to make such a big move.

"Kudo, don't be stupid!" Shirai Shou shouted.

"It's easy to talk to smart people. Throw away your pistol first." Yang No said.

Kudo threw the pistol into the bushes without saying a word.

Yang No walked over and looked coldly at the mature detective in front of her.

"Why? Your father was also killed by that guy, why are you still helping him?!"

"Don't confuse us, you idiot." Yang Nai reached out and pinched the fullness of her chest hard.

Feeling both ashamed, angry and in pain, Kudo glared at the pretty woman. She had an angelic appearance, but was actually a devil inside.

Yang Nai came closer to her and said softly, "I just want to see if you can show such a righteous expression when you are being fucked by the murderer of your father."

Kudo Mika's heart suddenly fell into ice.

Then, Yang No looked at the angry Shirai Hisashi with interest, as if she had found some interesting toy. What a loving couple they were, but her sister had just separated from her beloved.

"You deliberately waited for Yukino to come out yesterday, just to see in front of her, Hachiman's expression when he was arrested for killing his father. Your idea of ​​abusing Yukino is very creative, and I wish I could take your place. So to thank you, I specially gave you a gift, a special killing blow, for free."

Yang No's smile was terrifyingly chilling.

Chapter 69: Rain x Yukino x the truth

The breeze is accompanied by drizzle falling gently. The rain in early summer does not make people feel cold, but after bathing for too long, the cool rain will still quickly take away the body temperature.

Kato Megumi likes rain very much, perhaps because of her slightly dark personality. She doesn't like going out to play. If it rains, no one can go out to play, so her parents won't think it's strange that she always stays at home.

Although it was just a childish thought from childhood, the fact that I like rain has not changed.

She was holding an umbrella and wearing rain boots, walking on the lawn of the Gong family, but the maid behind her spoke nervously.

"Ms. Kato, it's raining. Let's go back. If you get sick from the rain, Her Highness the Princess will punish us. Besides, Mr. Hikigaya hasn't been in a good mood lately."

Although Hachiman would not lose his temper with others easily, the tense atmosphere around him, as sharp as a knife, still made the servants feel uncomfortable.

Kato Megumi gently stroked her abdomen. Although she tried very hard to calm him down, the effect was minimal. After all, that was an important woman with whom he had spent half of his life.
