Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

Hoshino Hideyuki tilted his head and smiled:

"Next, he will have his accomplice appear in front of you. He might be a young man wearing a low-quality uniform. He will tell you something obviously false, such as that the water quality has problems and needs to be repaired, and he will impatiently ask you to pay."

"You will naturally refuse and think of him instead. Comparing the two, you will find him more trustworthy and will be more likely to open your wallet to him and buy some unreasonably expensive services... Well, that's probably the logic. Uncle, don't you think it's hard to defend against?"

The middle-aged man touched his nose and said, "Well, it's really hard to defend against..."

And there was a subtle change in the old lady's eyes.

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered something urgent. Oh yes, my wife is about to give birth! Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Bye!"

The middle-aged man slammed the table, spoke at an extremely fast speed, put on his shoes and ran out of the house.

The old lady looked at his back, stunned for a moment, and asked Hoshino Hideyuki: "So... he is a fraudster?"

Ha, you react quite quickly, old man.

But he's not the only trickster, I am too.

Hoshino Hideyuki shrugged: "Who knows? By the way, take this~"

He handed the filter left by the middle-aged man to the old lady: "It's not worth much, but it is indeed useful. If you are worried, just install it on the faucet."

"How can I do this? I didn't pay..."

"That person won't come back. If you don't need it, you can just throw it away."

Hoshino Hideyuki said as he walked to the door and put on his shoes. Finally, he waved to the old lady and said, "Old lady, next time someone asks you to pay, be more careful~"

With a clang of the door, the fox left the house.

The only remaining old lady rubbed her eyes, thinking that what had just happened was a little too magical...

I was about to be cheated, but the police suddenly appeared and helped me...

"Oh, I forgot to say thank you, oh my brain!"

A van was parked on a small road a few hundred meters away from the old lady's house.

In the car, the young man in a suit and the middle-aged man were sitting together.

The young man frowned and asked, "Failed? Why?"

The middle-aged man tilted his mouth and said: "A policeman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he is very familiar with our routine..."

The young man blinked and stammered, "Is the policeman you mentioned very handsome? And he always smiles?"

"Oh, yes, yes, hey, how did you guess so accurately?"

The middle-aged man was wondering when he noticed that his accomplice's eyes looked strange. He suddenly froze and turned his head with a stiff neck...

Sure enough, outside the half-open car window was the smiling Hoshino Hideyuki.

"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Kato~"

The fox accurately called out the middle-aged man's last name, then looked at the young man and said, "This must be Mr. Kobayashi, right? Oh my, he looks much more handsome than in the photo."

Kobayashi and Kato looked at each other.

Spicy balls!

Hasn't this been clearly investigated?

In an instant, Kobayashi in the driving seat wanted to step on the accelerator and drive away, but the older Kato stopped him with his eyes.

My name and fraudulent methods have been exposed. What’s the point of running away now? Don’t you want to give up all your belongings?

The other party came alone, let’s talk first!

"Well, may I ask who you are?" Kato turned around and asked with a flattering smile, "What is your purpose in looking for us?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a real policeman, and I don't mean any harm~"

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his hands and said, "I am also a fraudster. I just want to do business with you two~"

The two were stunned and looked at each other again. This time Xiaolin spoke first: "What business?"

Hoshino Hideyuki shook his head. "For a fraudster, both his methods and goals are precious secrets. So I'm sorry, I can't tell you yet... because I'm not sure if you are worthy of an invitation. You have to prove it first."

Xiao Lin immediately got angry: "Hey, stop looking down on others!"

Kato frowned slightly, thinking that since the other party could find out his name, it was not surprising that he was arrogant. The most urgent thing was intelligence, so he said humbly:

"So, how can we prove it?"

Hoshino Hideyuki pointed to a street corner not far away, where a man in his thirties was standing with a brown wallet in his hand. He was talking on the phone and looking around.

"That man just found a wallet - yes, I threw it away - and he is now looking for the owner. All you have to do is walk up to him and trick him into giving you the wallet. You will be qualified."

"As for what was in the wallet... I can only say that it contained documents and 100,000 yen in cash."

"As long as you can cheat the wallet out of it, regardless of whether the deal is successful or not, the 100,000 will be yours. It's my compensation for ruining your business. How do you think?"

Xiaolin wanted to refuse, thinking, why should I bother to be fooled by you? But when he heard that there was 100,000 yen to be won, he hesitated.

Kato gritted his teeth secretly. Based on his experience, he still felt that Hoshino Hideyuki was up to something, but at the moment, he didn't seem to have any reason to refuse even at the risk of exposing his identity.

Or... give it a try?

The middle-aged man and the young man looked at each other and nodded together.

"We can't let this kid look down on us!"

ten minutes later.

Kato, who was well prepared, found the man first, while Kobayashi pretended to be a passerby to sneak up on him.

He put on a familiar and honest smile and said, "Hello, um, sorry to bother you, the wallet in your hand should be the one I just lost..."

"Are you sure?" The man narrowed his eyes and looked at Kato.

"Yes, I'm quite sure there's some of my cash in there..."

"That's it..."

Kato felt a little strange.

This shouldn't be the attitude of the person who found the wallet and met the owner. According to the procedure, shouldn't he be polite, carefully check what's in the wallet, and then return it with a smile?

He has prepared a whole set of words for this!

Click.

what?

Suddenly, there was a flash of silver light, and Kato lowered his head and found a handcuff on his wrist.

"I'm a police officer! Please cooperate with the investigation!"

"Oh, I didn't expect you to fall into the trap just after the evidence was found. Tell me, what's the matter with the counterfeit money in the wallet and the dozen or so DVDs of beastly abuse and shit! You counterfeit money dealers are really getting worse and worse..."

Kato:?

Plainclothes search team?

And what's in this wallet?

Marula, I got fooled!

Chapter 196 Fox: Huh? Can the plot still unfold like this?

Kato subconsciously turned around and wanted to look for Hoshino Hideyuki.

Then he saw, under the bright sunshine, the handsome Tokyo guy smiled cheerfully, waved at him, turned around, got into the driver's seat of the van, stepped on the accelerator, and drove their car away!

what?

Bastard! Eight ducks! Aminos!

"Where are you looking at? Get down!"

On the front, the plainclothes police were very dissatisfied with Kato's little trick and were about to take action.

In a flash, Kobayashi, who was nearby, hesitated for a moment, but decided to show some loyalty. He rushed forward with his pig stomach, and with a bang, he hit the policeman's back with his shoulder.

"what!"

The policeman screamed in pain and fell to the ground, but Kobayashi took advantage of the situation and kicked him twice, making the policeman unable to raise his head for a while. Kobayashi then took the opportunity to get the key and opened Kato's handcuffs with a few skillful moves.

"Run!"

Then he pulled Fujiwara and ran into a nearby alley.

The policeman was two seconds late, struggling to get up from the ground, chasing them while calling for reinforcements: "Baga, these are definitely two repeat offenders... They ran east to Kamizawa 2-chome, come quickly..."

Not far away, Hoshino Hideyuki, who got out of the car, was secretly observing everything, sighing and shaking his head.

These colleagues of my dog friend are no good either, they are all thin dogs.

Can't you just linger with the suspect for a while before your teammates arrive? Now, you're outnumbered by two people, and you've lost the man.

Forget it, just follow and take a look, if it doesn't work, I'll just intervene a little...

Thinking of this, he transformed himself into a pigeon, cooing, and caught up with the police.

that's it.

The fraudster is in the front, the plainclothes policeman is in the middle, and the fox and pigeon officially begin the final chase scene.

"stop!"

"Don't run, you can't escape!"

As the chase went on, the number of police officers increased from one to three.

But the duo of fraudsters were not at all panicked. They were very familiar with the surrounding roads. While constantly taking shortcuts to distance themselves from the police, they were also consciously running towards the northeast.

Soon, they reached their destination.

That was a construction site.

There are already four buildings on the construction site, all of which are only half-built, six or seven stories high. They were expected to be used as small apartments after completion, but it was said that the developer had some financial problems, so construction was suspended in the winter and no one has been caring about it until now.

"Quick, go up to the second floor!"

Kato and Kobayashi looked at each other, quickened their pace in tacit understanding, and disappeared into the unfinished building.

They came here often and knew that the architect of this building preferred freedom and made full use of the Japanese talent for making use of small spaces to create a bunch of strange corridors and compartments.

Especially for several units on the second floor of the building, there is a strange stairwell in their study, which not only goes directly from the first floor to the basement, but also connects to the parking lot.

So the duo was very sure that as long as they could reach that place, they would definitely be able to get rid of the police!

At this moment, Kato was actually out of breath.

There's no way. I'm old and can't run as well as young people.

But looking at the stairwell getting closer and closer, he still gritted his teeth and forced himself not to stop, to move forward, and keep moving forward!

Ten steps left! Five steps! Three steps!

Finally! Victory!

He and Xiaolin came to the entrance of the stairwell and excitedly opened the partition...

"Ah?"

...Then I discovered that there was already someone hiding there.

No, buddy, who are you?

At the same time, outside the building.

A policeman slowed down and frowned.

He was not familiar with the environment of the construction site, and looking at the cement, steel bars and other things, he felt that it was very dangerous, so he didn't really want to chase in.

The companion next to him patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we don't have to go in."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"I'm familiar with this place. I wanted to buy a house here before, so I did some research in advance..."

The policeman crossed his arms and smiled confidently:

"The space inside is complicated, and it's easy to lose them if we chase them in. Especially since there are several units on the second floor of the building in front of us, and there is a stairwell leading directly to the basement designed for the servants... Ha, maybe they are hiding in there!"
