From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"How to do?"

"Get out first." Inaba Rika said immediately. "Leave it to Akasaka!"

The three Nomiya sisters had no objection to this, and the four of them quickly left the house. Kimoto and the other Akasaka members who were waiting outside soon came over.

"We eliminated a very powerful evil spirit, but there was a problem with Wakana's Shikigami." Inaba Rika took the initiative to say.

"Is everything okay?" Mu Yuan asked immediately.

Although she is only a liaison, she is also considered a regular member of the Corpse Agency and certainly understands the significance of the Rat God Boji to them.

"It should be fine, but here..."

"Leave it to us." The Akasaka member next to Kimoto said immediately.

A staff member immediately brought the robot over and remotely directed it to enter the house according to normal procedures.

Kimoto brought the shrine maidens back to the car, but Ishino Shinjiro was gone, and only Kuroda Koji was seen.

Inaba Rika briefly explained the situation again and Kuroda Koji nodded, but his mind was obviously no longer on the case at hand.

"Thank you, please go back first."

"Ishino is acting as his agent?"

"The Congress has called an emergency meeting and asked him to go over and make an explanation. Don't worry, it's okay." Kuroda Koji said. "We are Akasaka."

The situation is much more serious than he said.

When Yoshida Yasushi died in an unusual incident, Ishino Shinjiro received a large number of calls, but this time, he only received a few calls until he was called to the Diet.

Of course it is impossible that people have not yet received the news. The only possibility is that they have already made some decision.

"We're not going to Congress." Ishino Shinjiro suddenly said to his subordinates who were driving.

"acting?"

"Let's go find K." said Ishino Shinjiro.

Perhaps because there had been peace for too long, those guys had developed an illusion and mistakenly regarded Akasaka as an organization like other government departments that they could control at will.

But in fact, Akasaka, like the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department, was an organization established by Americans after the war and is actually managed and commanded by Americans.

Their funding does come from Japan, and they are even controlled to a certain extent by Congress, who increasingly listen to their opinions, but that does not mean they have jurisdiction over Akasaka.

As long as K is on my side... nothing will change.

#####

“Who is it?” K asked.

"We are still investigating," Ishino Shinjiro replied. "We need time to work without interruption! But right now, Congress is out of control."

"What about Yoshida Yasushi's case? It's been so long, is there any progress?"

Ishino Shinjiro was silent for a moment: "All the evidence now shows that this matter is related to the Styx Society. However, because of our previous policy, we are not allowed to have contact and communication with monsters, which gives us..."

"You should know why," K interrupted him. "Nothing will change about that."

"Yes." Ishino Shinjiro said. "We will definitely..."

"I'll give you one month." K said. "Yoshida Yasushi and this time Hirano Taro, both cases must have a result."

Ishino Shinjiro took a deep breath and then bowed vigorously: "Thank you very much, sir. I am sorry to trouble you."

"I'd really like to see you continue to lead Akasaka, Ishino, and find a way to resolve this matter cleanly."

#####

"Why don't I take care of Congress..." Kuroda Koji suggested in a low voice.

"What's the point of you going? This kind of thing can't be solved by admitting mistakes or apologizing. The only thing we can do is to solve the matter as soon as possible according to the requirements of the Tokyo Watch and give everyone an explanation. K said to give us a month, I believe the Congress will definitely accept this condition."

"But... they won't let us have any contact with the monsters, so how are we going to handle the case? If we keep wearing the bridle and having our hands tied like this, we won't be able to use any of our abilities!"

"The opening has already been made," said Ishino Shinjiro.

Kuroda Koji followed his gaze and saw the shrine maidens resting in the car.

Because they also wanted to know the result, they stayed even though Kuroda Koji had asked them to leave.

The evil spirit in the house has been killed by them, and the Akasaka members are now searching for evidence inside, and they are all waiting for the results.

"Leave this case to Tachibana and Kimoto, and ask them to ask for help from the Mukuro Agency. Koji, you must fully support and assist them, understand? Go all out! From now on, everything must be centered around this case!"

Kuroda Koji nodded silently.

Chapter 33 Heavy Pressure

As before, no useful clues were found in the Hirano family's house.

The surveillance video was turned off, deleted, and the data could not even be recovered. The surveillance videos of the surrounding homes also did not capture any images worthy of attention.

Taro Hirano's identity is here. Who would dare to use a surveillance camera to film his house for no reason?

Even the police surveillance deliberately avoided this place.

When nothing happens, this is a manifestation of respect for privacy, but after such a vicious incident occurs, it is a manifestation of police incompetence.

It's really fun.

Natsukawa was still understanding the progress of their side through the magatama on Nomiya Wakana, but he heard that Aoki Yui had returned, and Kawaguchi Rena even opened the door and chatted with her for a while.

correct!

He immediately reprimanded Kentaro Sato and ordered him to launch an internal investigation, especially for the new believers who joined during the three months when he was "disappeared", and for those believers who had been or were still arranged to be with Yui Aoki. A strict and cautious investigation was required to confirm whether they were targeted by Akasaka.

The work of evacuating them away from Yui Aoki cannot stop, but the first principle must be not to attract Akasaka's attention and not to expose the sect's secrets!

"Yes!" Sato Kentaro could sense that Xiachuan attached great importance to this matter. After three months of no contact, this was the second time he had issued a special oracle on this matter.

Is it true that there are already Akasaka people in the sect?

Kentaro Sato had seen Akasaka in action with his own eyes, and he had received warnings about Akasaka from Natsukawa more than once. The gods had always regarded them as the sect's greatest enemy, so for Kentaro Sato, it was also a matter of life and death.

He started to make arrangements immediately, and his tone was ten times harsher than Xia Chuan's!

"God has told us that enemies have infiltrated our sect! This is a serious dereliction of duty on your part! The life and death of the sect is in your hands. God is watching you. You must find them out in the shortest possible time! Find out what they have heard!"

#####

At this time, Xia Chuan had turned his attention back to the priestesses.

The preliminary on-site investigation has been completed. Tachibana Hirokazu and Kimoto left for a while and then came back with much more serious expressions than before.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" asked Tachibana Hirokazu.

Qingdao and Sasaki Daisuke naturally had no objections and were even eager to try. After discussing in a low voice, the shrine maidens also chose to enter.

The two masters, Haizhi and Hailin, have not issued any orders, which makes them somewhat confused.

On the one hand, following Akasaka to investigate the scene can increase experience, and perhaps we can learn more experience and lessons from it, but more importantly, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with Akasaka.

They were unable to fulfill Ishino Shinjiro's previous request, so now they had to at least go in and take a walk around and pretend to be trying to help with the investigation.

They had not entered the house before, but had fought with the evil spirit in the courtyard outside. Now when they walked in and saw the corpses scattered everywhere, it was really shocking.

There was no survivor, not a single old man, not a child, not a woman.

Everyone was killed in a very short time, without even a chance to react or escape.

So this is why Xia Chuan hates evil spirits so much. These guys have completely lost their rationality and only act on instinct. Wherever they pass, there is almost always devastation.

"If you have any ideas, if you think any place is suspicious, or if you have any questions, you can tell us." Mu Yuan said to the witches. "Any of your opinions are important."

Inaba Rika quickly realized the hidden meaning in this sentence: "This case?"

"Agent Ishino said to let us handle it." Kimoto nodded. "Akasaka will fully cooperate. You can make any request."

"Really?" Sasaki Daisuke was a little excited, but Qingdao was not as heartless as him.

"You are so happy!" He couldn't help but push Sasaki Daisuke from behind. "Have you ever thought about how sensitive this case is, how many eyes are watching, and how many people are waiting for the result? This is the home of a congressman!"

He even suspected that Akasaka was planning to use the Mukuro Organization as a scapegoat.

"That's not the case!" Tachibana Hirokazu immediately clarified. "We have asked this question repeatedly just now. Agent Ishino and his team expect us to solve this case as soon as possible, especially to prevent the same case from happening again, but the responsibility for failure will be borne by him. He has made it clear."

"Have similar cases happened before?" Qingdao felt a little more relaxed.

Tachibana Hirokazu sighed and said, "Do you still remember Councillor Yoshida Yasushi who died in an accident last year?"

"No way?" Qingdao and Sasaki said at the same time.

Tachibana Hiroichi sighed and nodded.

The case involved two members of parliament. Even if Ishino Shinjiro repeatedly assured them that they would never be held responsible and that they could not take the responsibility, it still made people feel suffocated and heavy.

"Are the case files from that time here?" Qingdao asked with a sigh.

Tachibana Hiro nodded: "It's in the car outside. You can check it anytime."

Killed two congressmen?

Xia Chuan's interest was also completely piqued. Although there was no evidence, he felt that there must be the shadow of the Styx Society involved.

What do they want to do?

Is this a way to put more pressure on Akasaka through such a massacre? Or is this a way to intimidate Japanese politicians and seek the possibility of achieving their goals from them?

Someone seemed to have said just now that the person living here is a former cabinet member?

So the next person to be killed won’t be the current cabinet members, right?

If they can really achieve this, Xia Chuan will really admire them.

Doing so would certainly put hundreds of times more pressure on Japanese officials than massacring civilians, and would certainly have a much greater impact.

"Where is their manifesto?" asked Rika Inaba.

"There was no declaration, and in fact, no one has admitted to killing Yoshida Yasushi's family until now." Tachibana Hirokazu replied. "So we only treat Yoshida Yasushi's case as an isolated incident rather than a political incident, but adding Hirano Taro, the same method is used, which is different."

"The big shots should be completely unable to sit still, right?" Qingdao said with some gloating.

"There will definitely be some people who will find excuses to leave Tokyo or even leave Neon right away. However, it has been nearly a year since the last case, which shows that the other party is very patient. And these people will definitely not be able to leave the country for a long time, and they will have to come back eventually."

"If they feel that Akasaka can no longer protect them, then they might ask someone from a foreign country to protect them..." Kimoto's mood became very bad.

She had heard some things about those beings, and most of them could not be defined as "good people." For Neon, for Tokyo, it was definitely not something to celebrate.

This was a trampling on Akasaka, but she was powerless to change the status quo and had no confidence in solving the problem.

"If Haizhai...sama and Hailin-sama answer your prayers, please tell us immediately! Please."

Chapter 34 Hesitation

Xia Chuan understood the whole story.

But what does this have to do with him?

Natsukawa never had any ill feelings towards the Akasakas, an organization that defended the safety of ordinary people in Tokyo with their own lives.

Without them, everything he was enjoying and wanted to experience now would no longer exist.

The world will inevitably become a different place.

It might be better for a powerful alien like him, but it might also bring more powerful opponents and greater dangers, and more trouble.

For ordinary humans, the future will inevitably be bleak, even terrifying and desperate.

However, although the Styx would stab the dignitaries, Xiachuan did not feel anything, and it also did not matter to him whether Ishino Shinjiro stayed or left.

Ishino is relatively friendly to the Skeleton Society and the Corpse Organization, but this is not his will or merit, but the result of Natsukawa's previous efforts to show the world his strength and beliefs and reach a consensus with the Tokyo Watch. Anyone who is not a lunatic will inevitably continue this status quo, even if it is only superficial peace and friendship.

With Ishino's example, it might even be better.

Then, why should he jump out to share Ishino's worries?

However, the priestesses who had lost his direct command obviously did not think so.

At Kimoto's request, they worked in pairs in the Hirano family's house and tried to summon the memories of the dead with the "Aoi Dance", hoping to reconstruct the circumstances of the incident through those broken memory fragments.
