As he spoke, he noticed that Uesugi Tokuji had raised his head, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope.

"Yes! You have no evidence! You can't kill me!"

Seeing Uesugi Tokuji's reaction, the police officers also became hesitant.

Ryunosuke Kurokawa stood to one side, frowning. He waved his hand, signaling the SWAT team to drive the people outside.

Morikawa Yu laughed.

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

"I have no evidence, but I don't need any."

"Police need procedural justice and must rely on evidence to apprehend criminals."

"I'm not a police officer."

At least, not in this lifetime.

He silently added a sentence in his mind, and then walked up to Uesugi Tokuji.

I am not a rigid person.

"We won't stand by and watch you commit evil with impunity, while we have to worry about trivial matters."

"I will only send you to meet the people you killed."

"What do you want to say?"

Go and talk to them.

He raised the Tsurumaru Kuninaga in his hand.

"and many more!"

Kuroda Masatake wanted to say something more, but found that Morikawa Yu had already swung down Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

An invisible gust of wind suddenly appeared and slashed at Uesugi Tokuji.

Suddenly, Uesugi Tokuji braced himself with both hands, rolled to the side, and jumped toward the window.

He had just reached the window when he stopped, leaned over it, and a strange line of blood appeared between his brows.

Morikawa Yu stopped looking at him and shook her head.

Uesugi Tokuji shuddered violently, his entire body splitting in two like a watermelon cut in half, before collapsing limply to the ground.

Blood and organs slid out of his body cavity, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle, instantly losing all his vitality.

Kuroda Masatsugu stared in shock at Uesugi Tokuji's corpse, gritting his teeth, his face ashen.

"Morikawa-san!"

"He openly committed murders inside the Metropolitan Police Department, killing two people in total!"

"You will regret this!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Morikawa Yu glanced sideways at Kuroda Masato.

"Makes me regret it"

"You dare to challenge me?"

He stopped looking at Kuroda Masatsugu and sheathed his sword.

The police officers surrounding him looked at him with awe, silently stepped back, and made way for him.

Morikawa Yu strode out, followed by Kurokawa Ryunosuke and the Mobile Squad...

Among the police officers, Kitajima Shunji looked at Morikawa Yu's retreating figure and clicked his tongue in admiration.

“So handsome!”

"I should have been the one to make the call today."

"If I can successfully persuade him to meet with me alone, the people in the First Division will be incredibly envious, right?"

As he spoke, he noticed that Naoto Sagawa's expression was a bit off.

The other person seemed somewhat nostalgic, as if immersed in some kind of memory.

Finally, he took a deep breath, came to his senses, and looked at Kitajima Shunji with a serious expression.

"Junji-kun, let's go to work!"

"Eh?"

Kitajima Shunji looked surprised.

"Department head, didn't you just say you only wanted to lie around and wait to die?"

"Yes! But I've changed my mind!"

"Because you saw a future big shot upholding justice, you're afraid you'll be seen as a useless coward and get kicked out of the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"how come?"

Naoto Sagawa shook his head.

"And I don't think I have any chance of being noticed."

"I'm just feeling a bit sentimental."

Chapter 58 The dust has settled

"What are you feeling?"

"It's nothing."

Naoto Sagawa sighed.

"When I first heard that the goddess had chosen a successor, I didn't feel much, because I didn't think my life would change."

But now I realize I was wrong.

"I wouldn't have dared to imagine something like this happening in the past, but it actually happened right before my eyes."

"I have a feeling that things won't stay peaceful in the Metropolitan Police Department any longer."

"If Chief Iwamoto were still working at the Metropolitan Police Department, he would definitely have given me this opportunity to make a name for myself."

"Department Head, what you're saying certainly gets people excited."

Kitajima Shunji glanced at Sagawa Naoto.

"But shouldn't a middle-aged man like you be past this age long ago?"

"Huh? What's wrong with middle-aged men?"

Naoto Sagawa's face flushed red.

"Can't older men have youth too!?"

"You bastard, don't underestimate me!"

Kitajima smiled, unusually refraining from arguing with Naoto Sagawa.

The department head felt this way, and so did he.

It's a pity he didn't have the chance to get close to the other person, otherwise he felt his life would be complete...

Meanwhile, Masato Kuroda also left the Second Investigation Division's floor, his heart filled with anger.

He had already sent someone to dispose of the body in the office, but he didn't want to see the brothers' faces again.

To be fair, he had no vested interests with Uesugi Yoritada, and his relationship with Uesugi Tokuji was only superficial.

But he never imagined that someone would dare to break into the Metropolitan Police Department and kill someone.

Although the person's identity was special, he still couldn't accept it.

Even until the very end, he had absolutely no way to deal with the other party.

This made him even more resentful.

He was thinking about how to retaliate when he looked up and saw a figure that surprised him.

The other person was standing in his office, seemingly waiting for him, with a look of regret on his face.

"Inspector Kato!?"

"Why are you here?"

Kuroda Masatsugu immediately lowered his head.

The other party was the Superintendent General, unlike him, who belonged to the true upper echelons of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Nothing much, just came to check in and chat about work."

Superintendent Kato looked at him and smiled, but there was something strange about the smile.

Kuroda Masatsugu immediately tensed up.

He didn't believe that Superintendent Kato had come to him for such a simple reason.

Moreover, this is the time when a murder case just occurred in the Second Investigation Division.

"Don't be nervous, Kuroda-san."

"I really just want to talk to you about work."

"You've seen the guy who just went to search Section 2, haven't you?"

Kuroda Masatsugu was taken aback for a moment, and was about to ask who it was, but immediately realized that the other party was referring to Morikawa Yu.

He had worked at the Metropolitan Police Department for a long time, so he naturally knew who was behind Superintendent Kato.

Superintendent Kato glanced back at him.

"I heard from my secretary that you and that person aren't getting along well."

"That won't do, Kuroda-san."

"That person was chosen by the God, and from now on, we will all be under his command."

Why make him unhappy?

Kuroda Masatsugu broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He was about to speak when Superintendent Kato waved his hand.

"Don't panic, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Inspector Hojo and Inspector Kondo are also monitoring the situation regarding the Second Investigation Division."

"They were very curious about how Mr. Uesugi Yoritada of the Uesugi family got into the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Has our Metropolitan Police Department become a den of iniquity?"

"This has nothing to do with me. It was Uesugi Tokuji who brought them in!"

Kuroda Masatsugu grew anxious and took a step forward.

Superintendent Kato shook his head, his expression regretful.

"But some people say that you also helped, and now you want to pin the blame on a dead person?"

Masato Kuroda finally fell silent.

He looked at Superintendent Kato as if awaiting his final fate.

Superintendent Kato smiled.

"Kuroda, this matter can actually be a big deal or a small deal."

"The Metropolitan Police Department has been in a state of peace for too long, and there are many people like you who have forgotten their true duties."

"Those at higher levels have always wanted to change the status quo, but haven't found a good starting point."

"According to Inspector Hojo, you can atone for your sins by naming people you know who are in the same boat as you."

"If you can gain that person's forgiveness again, he will persuade Inspector Kondo not pursue the matter of what happened today."

"But if we follow Inspector Kondo's orders, you'll be suspended from your duties and then assigned to the Special Affairs Countermeasures Division's mobile unit as that person's subordinate."
