It was almost noon when the convoy arrived at the Isshiki family's villa in the suburbs.

The CT officers stayed in the car, while Inspector Kurokawa and Inspector Fujii Itsuki went into the villa's yard with Morikawa Yu.

This time, there was no grand welcoming ceremony with a yakuza procession; the head of the Isshiki family personally greeted them.

The head of the Isshiki family is called Isshiki Heihachi, which is information from the files given to him by the Metropolitan Police Department.

The information also includes a photo of Heihachi Isshiki, who appears to be a middle-aged man with good manners.

The Ishiki Heihachi in front of him was indeed no different from the photo, and he was very pleasant to be around, making it easy for people to like him.

However, Morikawa Yu looked at the middle-aged man with a humble smile in front of her with great caution.

Although the other party seemed to be hiding it very well, he still saw a fairly dense black aura on the other party.

These black wisps condensed into black outlines on the other person's body, and the patterns on the outlines merged into faces with strange expressions.

These faces stared greedily at Morikawa Yu, as if they wanted to devour him whole, their malice utterly undisguised.

He couldn't help but think of Isshiki Nanami, because Isshiki Nanami looked just like this when she first woke up in Yamano Nanami's body.

However, compared to Isshiki Nanami, the black aura emanating from Isshiki Heihachi was even more exaggerated, and the malice emanating from him was almost tangible.

If these malicious attacks weren't just outlines, he wouldn't even think he could clearly see Heihachi Isshiki's face.

Heihachi Isshiki himself was still exchanging pleasantries with Inspector Kurokawa with a gentle smile, showing no sign of any problem.

Looking at the other person's smile, Morikawa Yu felt a hint of mockery.

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but recall the comments about the other person she had seen not long ago.

This is... just an ordinary guy?

It's really quite ordinary.

However, it's not surprising that those who made the comments were not blamed.

If his vision hadn't been modified by the system, he wouldn't have been able to see through the other person's disguise; he could only judge from experience that the other person was suspicious.

"Hello, Mr. Morikawa, my name is Isshiki Heihachi, and I am the head of the Isshiki family."

Isshiki Heihachi extended his hand to Morikawa Hayao.

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow but made no move.

To be honest, after confirming that Heihachi Isshiki was the problem, all he wanted to do was take him down and interrogate him to find out the truth.

The problem is that Inspector Kurokawa and Fujii Itsuki are still with him.

If he attacks Isshiki Heihachi but cannot control him immediately, the fight will affect both of them.

Therefore, he had to get Inspector Kurokawa and the others to leave first.

Alternatively, find an opportunity to retrieve the golden amulet from the Goshuincho and pull Isshiki Heihachi into the sealed domain.

He temporarily suppressed the urge to take action.

"Hello, head of the Isshiki family, I am Morikawa Ha from Asada Shrine."

Morikawa Yu said without pausing, her tone almost interrogative: "Some time ago, there was a youkai named Isshiki Nanami who used a mask to turn humans into youkai, causing many deaths."

“She said she was the guardian spirit of your Isshiki family, but you said you didn’t know her and were unaware of the existence of Ogura Haruhiko, who was being guarded in prison.”

"But Ms. Yamano Nanami, who was being controlled by Isshiki Nanami, once woke up and mentioned that she was being chased."

"According to the investigation by the Second Investigation Division, those who chased her were members of your Isshiki family, so we hope you will cooperate with the investigation."

He spoke with a very serious expression.

Inspector Kurokawa glanced at Morikawa Yu with some surprise, as did Fujii Itsuki.

They were completely taken aback by Morikawa Yu's statement, as they had received no information about it whatsoever.

Furthermore, the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation concluded that those people simply did not exist.

Because the surveillance cameras along the way didn't capture anything.

Since Yamano Nanami had already woken up at that time, had no demonic power, and could not see the demon, the Metropolitan Police Department ruled out the possibility of it being a demon.

So they were somewhat surprised, but Morikawa Yu's expression didn't seem like he was just making things up; rather, it seemed like it was true.

Did the Second Investigation Division really find out the results of their investigation?

I heard that the Second Investigation Division was reorganized because of Uesugi Tokuji's death, and the head of the General Affairs Division is also looking for an opportunity to reconcile with Morikawa Yu.

Perhaps they really did discover something and secretly told Morikawa Yu.

They wanted to ask a question, but considering Morikawa Yu's identity and the strangeness of the matter, they wisely remained silent.

Heihachi Isshiki noticed the unusual behavior between the two and was slightly taken aback.

He looked at Morikawa Yu, still smiling: "Mr. Morikawa, are you joking?"

"Our Isshiki family only has some ordinary businesses and we are not involved in yakuza affairs. Where would we find the manpower and energy to capture people?"

Morikawa Yu's expression remained unchanged.

Since he realized that Isshiki Heihachi was the problem, he had no intention of being polite to the other party anymore, nor was there any need to be polite to them.

Since the other party has a connection with Isshiki Nanami, Isshiki Nanami is likely a target pushed out by the other party, and the other party must have known about him, studied him, and understood what he had done.

If you are too polite to the other person, they will see through your behavior.

“I’m not joking, and I have no interest in joking with you. The Second Investigation Division has clearly found a lead.”

"As for whether there are enough people or whether the problem even exists, a simple search will tell you, right?"

Morikawa Yu glanced at Inspector Kurokawa and Assistant Inspector Fujii, and waved his hand expressionlessly.

Chapter 112 Remarks on the launch

It's finally going to be available, everyone! It will be available tonight at midnight.

Thank you all for your support since the book's inception, and thank you to my editor, Spicy Strips, for your continuous recommendations.

Generally speaking, playing the victim is a traditional skill on Qidian, but I don't play the victim because I am truly miserable.

I write part-time every day, updating at night, and I can't sleep until three or four in the morning. The next day is the same. It's like I'm under a spell, a cycle that never ends.

Fortunately, I've already boarded the train back to my hometown (although I missed my stop because of the crowds when I transferred trains, and had to cancel my original ticket, I transferred again in Nanjing, and I still haven't managed to get a ticket... I feel hopeless). I hope things will get a little better from now on...

In short, I'm a little excited because going on the shelf is a watershed moment for a book.

So, please subscribe! Please subscribe again! Everyone!

If this book does well, I'll switch to full-time writing so I can dedicate myself to writing for everyone.

If any of you are reading this book, please enable automatic subscription. That will count as following the subscription. Thank you!

In addition, there are updates after the product is released.

Let me first talk about the results of the bonus chapter. Since the bonus chapter was launched, the top three on the Qidian fan ranking are "kanmong", "No. 3 Dongfeng Express", and "Sixteen Nights Moon, Black Rabbit". The top vote-getter is "Fire Flowing Snow Under the Bright Moon".

The top three on the QQ Reading app's overall chart are "Carter Catherine," "Sword Light Like Me, Slicing Away the Offal," and "King of Uruk - Gilgamesh."

I remember everyone who gave tips and voted for the book, thank you for your support!

Currently, there are 50 recommended votes, 25 rewarded chapters, and 7 chapters with individual thanks, for a total of 82 chapters.

The two chapters I mentioned earlier that I would return early are not included in this calculation. After all, the updates have always been at night, which has forced everyone to stay up late. This is my way of compensating everyone.

After the book goes live early this morning, there will probably be four chapters (five if I get home early). After it goes live, I will add two or three chapters to the two chapters I read every day (one chapter if something comes up). I will try to finish the book within a month.

And then... I still ask for initial subscriptions and follow-up subscriptions. I hope everyone will support the official version as much as possible!

Currently, this book has 20,000 favorites, 10,000 recommendation votes, and a decent daily readership rate. The ideal result is 1,000 first-day subscriptions.

If we can achieve this result, let's make a bet: the current reward will be doubled (Do you believe in the light?).

With this achievement, we don't need to do anything else; we can focus on writing every day.

Another issue is the book club group.

After it's published, we'll occasionally update the content that can't be posted in the main text in the group, which is a perk for legitimate readers.

Just sauce~

I'm entrusting everything to you~

Chapter 113 Tactical Interaction

"Wait a minute!"

Heihachi Isshiki finally stopped smiling.

He seemed a little angry, but dared not show it, his face showing a lot of helplessness.

"Mr. Morikawa, you're being too aggressive."

"You want to search without saying a word? Do you have a search warrant?"

"If you want to search without a warrant, even if you are the heir to the shrine, Mr. Morikawa, isn't that a bit too domineering?"

He spoke as if he were truly being forced, and his expression and demeanor conveyed a sense of pent-up frustration, as if to say, "I'm just too honest, that's why I've been bullied to this extent." It was so vivid and lifelike that there was no sense of incongruity at all.

"If you can't find anything, I will report your actions to Kasumigami and the shrine, and ask Shrine Master Ryoko for an explanation!"

Inspector Kurokawa and Inspector Fujii, feeling somewhat sorry for Morikawa Yu, looked at him and wanted to say a few words in his defense.

Morikawa Yu remained unmoved.

The other party's acting was excellent; it was practically flawless.

Unfortunately, he had activated the True Sight cheat.

Under his vision, which allows him to see the radiance and special qualities of demonic energy, no matter how well Isshiki Heihachi acts, it's useless.

The black demonic power emanating from the other party was so obvious that it was impossible for him not to notice it.

Moreover, Heihachi Isshiki was acting, but wasn't he acting as well?

The other party's behavior played right into his hands.

"Search warrant? Of course we have one."

Morikawa Yu reached into the lining of the trench coat, touched it a couple of times, then suddenly stopped, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"...Search warrant, I think I left it in the car."

Heihachi Isshiki sighed heavily, his expression changing again to one of "I knew it. You really didn't have a search warrant; you were just trying to trick me."

Inspector Kurokawa and Inspector Fujii remained silent, both looking somewhat embarrassed.

They also felt that Morikawa Yu didn't have a search warrant and was just making excuses.

However, Morikawa Yu's expression remained serious: "Clan Head Isshiki, I'm not joking."

"I really forgot the search warrant in the car."

He looked at Fujii Itsuki: "Inspector Fujii, could you please go get this for me?"

"Also, Inspector Kurokawa, could you please come out with me and get the SWAT team lined up and ready?"

"You and Inspector Fujii will begin the search together in a moment."

Inspector Kurokawa and Inspector Fujii hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.

The two of them turned around and walked outside.

Morikawa Haha stared at Isshiki Heihachi.

Just as he was having Fujii Itsuki and Inspector Kurokawa retrieve the search warrant and preparing the team, Isshiki Heihachi narrowed his eyes.

The other party seemed to finally realize the problem, and the black aura around him began to fluctuate faintly, like a surging tide.

Morikawa Yu watched his actions, a cold smile appearing on her face.

I brought up Isshiki Nanami just now to see her reaction.

Regardless of the other party's response, he would use the existence of the Second Investigation Division to request a search.

In that case, even if the other party is completely open, they will still demand a search warrant.

If the other party requests a search warrant, then one can openly reach into their pocket and take the golden amulet.
