I'm having fun in Tokyo

I will try my best.

Seeing her like this, Ryoko sighed.

I will try my best...

"To say something like that shows you're completely unprepared."

"You can't force someone to like something."

Feiyue paused for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Liangzi shook her head.

To be honest, she didn't think highly of Fei Yue.

Moreover, her original plan was to arrange for Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko to meet soon and bring them together.

What I just said to Feiyue was also meant to discourage her from making a decision.

After all, considering the identities of Hiizuki and Mitsuko, Mitsuko can provide Morikawa Yu with more support.

She is the head priestess of Fushimi Inari Shrine, which wields considerable power and influence in the Kyoto area.

If combined with it, it will bring Morikawa even more benefits.

"Feiyue, since there's nothing else, I'll head back."

She glanced at Fei Yue, then at Morikawa Yu's house on the ground, then turned around, stepping on golden divine light, and walked towards the giant gate behind her.

Just before stepping through the door, Ryoko turned her head back.

She glanced at Feiyue one last time, and seeing that she remained silent, she finally gave up on trying to persuade her and turned to enter the giant gate.

With a bell ringing from an unknown source, the torii gates in front of the giant gate gradually disappeared.

The golden divine light that had condensed into the Path of Ascension and the Jade Wall became transparent, then converged towards the giant gate, finally coalescing into a blazing golden point of light, which disappeared into the sky along with the giant gate, as if it had never existed.

The great goddess Feiyue lowered her head and snorted coldly.

"Tch, so what if I wasn't prepared? So what if it was my first time?"

"What I want, I have never given up on."

She turned around, stepped into the air, and flew towards Morikawa Yu's house on the street below...

......

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Headquarters.

Special Affairs Countermeasures Division, Public Relations and Public Relations Department 2 Office.

"吆西!"

"That would pretty much solve the problem."

Naoto Sagawa pushed aside the summary of documents in front of him, leaned back in his chair, and stretched.

He hasn't left the Metropolitan Police Department since last night, staying in his office and contacting major media outlets overnight to pressure them to remove their reports about Matsuo-cho.

Because the Metropolitan Police Department had done many similar things before, his contact went smoothly.

The group of yakuza members suffered the most from this incident. The Uesugi family behind these yakuza members remained silent, and there were no civilian casualties, so no media outlets were willing to continue reporting on it.

Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties; otherwise, some media outlets, claiming to be the mouthpiece and conscience of society, would have relentlessly pursued this matter.

Kitajima Shunji was sitting not far from Sagawa Naoto, sorting out materials.

Seeing the department head's expression, he unusually refrained from finding fault. Instead, he tidied up the documents, placed them on the department head's desk, and then turned around to make him a cup of instant coffee.

Here you go, Section Chief.

"It must be tough for an older man like you to stay up all night with us young people."

Naoto Sagawa glanced at him and sat up straight.

"What's wrong with being an older man? Older men have their youth too."

He stretched his shoulders again before picking up the cup and taking a sip.

However, he clearly underestimated the temperature of the coffee, burned himself, smacked his lips, and it took him a while to continue speaking.

"Junji, although it used to be people from the First Division who did these things, it's not like I'm without experience in handling matters."

"However, the public is not so easily fooled now. In the past, we could simply say it was a gas leak and explosion and cover it up, but it's not that easy now."

"But experience is always universal."

"As long as you find a reason or use another event that can attract public attention to cover up this matter, after a few days, the hype will die down, and no one will notice anymore."

"However, the rumors circulating online are still a problem. Those urban legend enthusiasts have even given this incident a name, the 'Matsuo-cho Tornado Incident,' and are spreading it everywhere."

"But these things are still a headache for the First Division, since it's their task anyway."

"Let's go to the archives to file the documents, and while we're at it, let's talk to Department 1. We can grab a drink together tonight."

"My treat!"

Naoto Sagawa put down his coffee and stood up.

Kitajima Shunji immediately piled up the files on the table, then reorganized them according to their numbers, and held them in his arms.

The two walked together toward the stairwell, greeting familiar police officers they encountered along the way, before arriving at the lobby.

Just as they were about to head towards the archives department, they saw a girl walking towards the lobby and then towards the elevator leading to the upper floors.

Naoto Sagawa frowned, feeling that the other person looked somewhat familiar.

"Is that... Inspector Hojo's daughter?"

Chapter 69 Suspicious Things

"It seems so. They're probably here to see Inspector Hojo, but that's none of our business."

Kitajima Shunji glanced at it only once before looking away.

"Let's go, Department Head."

"Um"

Naoto Sagawa nodded and looked away.

"I just remembered that she was Mr. Morikawa's kendo teacher, so I was a little curious."

"She doesn't seem to have the aura of a strong person, so how did she become Mr. Morikawa's teacher? It's really strange..."

"Forget it, I'm not one of those paparazzi. I'm leaving."

He shook his head and followed Kitajima Shunji towards the archives department...

Meanwhile, Maki Hojo entered the elevator.

Today she received a call from her father, who is the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, saying that he wanted to talk to her about something.

She thought about it for a moment and realized that what her father was talking about must be related to her dojo student, Morikawa Yu.

Just two days ago, I gave him the family heirloom, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and now he has become Aunt Ryoko's successor, and has done some unexpected things at the Metropolitan Police Department.

He was his kendo teacher, so his father had no reason not to contact him.

She looked at the buttons in the elevator, intending to press the one for a higher floor, but stopped and pressed the one for the Second Investigation Division instead.

The elevator stopped very quickly.

Maki Hojo came out and walked towards the Second Investigation Division outside the building.

But she quickly stopped.

A prominent warning sign was erected not far ahead.

She didn't approach, but instead stared at the section chief's office sign behind the logo, her expression complex.

I heard that Morikawa killed the head of the Uesugi family and the head of the Second Investigation Division, Uesugi Tokuji, right here yesterday.

Two days ago, when she watched him kill Furuno Tsugawa, she never imagined things would turn out this way.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department did not outwardly investigate the matter, it was impossible for them to remain completely silent.

I just don't know how my father and the others will handle this matter.

She sighed inwardly, glanced at the warning sign again, turned and left, heading towards the elevator.

Half a minute later, she took the elevator to her original destination.

A police officer was already waiting at the elevator exit.

She followed the other person toward her father's office.

The officer walked ahead, knocked on the door, saluted, and turned to leave.

Soon, she heard her father's voice inside.

"Come in"

She pushed open the door and immediately saw the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk at the far end of the room.

Takehiro Hojo, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department, is the head of the Hojo family and also her father.

He sat there, watching her walk in, his gaze calm, showing no sign of emotion because she was his daughter.

He nodded to Maki Hojo and pointed to the sofa next to him.

"Please sit down, Maki."

"Yes, father"

Maki Hojo sat down and looked at her father.

Hojo Takehiro looked at her for a long time before finally speaking.

"Maki, you should know why I'm looking for you, right?"

Maki Hojo nodded, but did not speak.

Hojo Takehiro stared at his daughter for a long time before finally sighing.

Actually, I didn't want to contact you in the first place, because your mother said before she passed away that she wanted you to have a peaceful life.

"That's why I sent you to Sakuragawa Academy a few years ago, asking Kuriyo to take care of you and find you an easy job."

“I know you’re very unhappy with my decision, so I try my best to agree to anything you want to do, even things involving the Metropolitan Police Department. I’ll have your uncles help you resolve them.”

But today's events are very important.

"Please speak, Father."

There's no need to bring up the past.

Hojo Maki's eyes finally showed a hint of annoyance.

"Alright, I'll tell you then."

Takehiro Hojo tapped the table with his fingers.

"I need your help to contact your student."

I want to meet him.

"Meet Morikawa?"

Maki Hojo frowned instantly.

She thought her father wanted to investigate her for giving the knife to Morikawa Yu, but she didn't expect that he wanted to meet with Morikawa.

This surprised her.

Why bother contacting her about something like this?

"Looking for Morikawa"

"Why don't you just talk to Aunt Ryoko directly?"

Maki Hojo spoke coldly.

"No, it can't be done through Yoshiko Shrine."

Takehiro Hojo shook his head slightly.
