Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

She was particularly bothered by this.

Especially when he thought about how he had asked Suguha to help him be on guard against the women around Haruno when they were on a business trip in Kyoto.

She felt particularly stupid.

And last night too, I foolishly asked Haruno, could the girl who had a relationship with him be as pretty as Ezaki Suguha?

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be Suguha Ezaki.

Damn it, that guy should have just said it earlier. He made me look like a stupid girl. It’s all that bastard Haruno’s fault.

"Feel sorry."

Suguha Ezaki, who was sitting opposite her, didn't understand what she meant and thought she was simply complaining that she had played a trick on her, so she quickly apologized again.

Miyazawa Maki waved her hands, sighed and said, "Forget it. I don't know what to say now."

"It's impossible for me to really yell at you or anything like that. And if I do that, Haruno will probably find it difficult to do so."

"Actually, I think as long as they're not my sister, it doesn't matter who else is involved."

Miyazawa Maki rubbed her face vigorously and added, "And I don't think I'll lose to Suguha either."

At most it's a draw, she muttered to herself.

Well, the reason for the equality is that Suguha already had a relationship with Haruno.

Based on the confession just now, it is not difficult to see that the key point that allowed Suguha and Haruno to develop to this point is that Suguha forced Haruno to have a relationship with him.

In other words, without this reason, nothing would have happened between Haruno and Suguha, right?

In this case, I have a huge advantage. After all, this face can make Haruno make the same mistake again!

Although she had always been troubled by this face in the past, at least now she is still very grateful for it.

Who made Haruno like it?

As long as it wasn't Mana, other people didn't matter to her.

What's more, Suguha had gone through a similar mental journey as her, so she couldn't blame him at all.

"I won't lose, that means"

Suguha Ezaki stared at her in confusion, as if he hadn't figured out what she meant.

"What I mean is, it's better to keep it like this."

Miyazawa Maki pursed her lips and said depressedly, "What else can I do? I don't want to see you really follow your parents' old path. Besides, because of Haruno, I can only ignore it for now."

"Well, after all, we still have to deal with that bastard."

She couldn't help but mutter one more word.

Chapter 218 The house was stolen

On the other side, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

After sending the message, Sawayama Haruno rushed out of the station in a hurry.

Mine Shiori's address is some distance away from the tram station, not to mention that he is still in Bunkyo Ward, so it would be faster to take a taxi.

Fortunately, after coming out of the station, Sawayama Haruno noticed that a taxi had just pulled over and a passenger was getting off.

Sawayama Haruno seized the opportunity and got into the taxi before it started to leave. After a brief conversation, the car quickly drove towards Mine Shiori's address.

Along the way, Zeshan Haruno was a little anxious.

Looking at the screen of his mobile phone, he saw that the message he sent to Maki had been read, but the other party had not replied yet. He had a bad feeling.

With no other choice, he could only send another message, and the other party then "slowly" replied with an "I know".

Good, now at least someone is watching over Suguha.

Sitting in the taxi, Sawayama Haruno breathed a sigh of relief.

So the question is, what should we do with Mine Shiori's situation now?

It is not known exactly when the tablet was stolen, but it should have happened this morning. Looking at the bright side, the thief should not have had time to sell the stolen goods.

As long as you don't sell the stolen goods too quickly, you don't have to worry about the risk of the phone being flashed and cracked.

The most urgent thing is to tell Riho Morikawa first.

Sawayama Haruno was also a little helpless. He didn't expect that just when the other party was about to go back and enjoy his vacation, something like this would happen here. But now that things have come to this, he has no better choice.

While he was editing a text message and sending it to the other party, the taxi quickly brought him to the vicinity of Mine Shiori's home.

After paying and getting off the car, Sawayama Haruno immediately saw the police car parked at a small two-story rental house not far away. Mine Shiori was standing at the stairs and anxiously communicating with a policeman.

"Shiori."

Sawayama Haruno hurried forward.

After seeing him appear, Mine Shiori seemed to have finally found her backbone.

The pale little girl immediately grabbed his sleeve tightly.

"Haruno."

Her expression was somewhat terrified.

Yes, a normal person would feel terrified if they lost such an important thing.

If you are held accountable for this, it won't be just a simple matter of paying money. You may have to go to jail for a while.

"Don't worry."

Sawayama Haruno quickly tried to comfort her.

"Do you remember the lost items and the amount?"

"Probably, I've already told them."

Mine Shiori said with a slight stutter.

"In addition to some cash, the more important things are electronic devices, such as laptops and tablets. Then, there are some other electrical devices, and all the small items are gone."

“So much was stolen?”

Sawayama Haruno frowned.

With so many things lost, the amount of money involved should not be small.

The island nation's policy on this matter is actually roughly the same as that of Sawayama Haruno's country in his previous life, and is even more excessive.

If the lost property is not a lot and the amount involved is not large, they will at most help you look for it symbolically and will not spend too much time on it.

But if what you lost involves a large amount of money, they will go the extra mile to resolve it.

That's why Mine Shiori reported all the lost items so carefully.

"You are her friend, right?"

The police officer at the side looked at Zeshan Haruno and said with some difficulty: "The situation is not good. There are not many cameras in this neighborhood because the buildings are old. It will be difficult to find the thief."

Zeshan Haruno's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly asked, "Where are the surveillance cameras a few blocks away?"

"There's quite a bit of surveillance around the area near the town council, but it's still quite difficult to find someone."

The policeman shrugged and said helplessly: "After all, there are many small roads here, and the alleys are all connected. It is too difficult to find someone."

Sawayama Haruno's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

He also noticed as he came here that this place was actually considered a remote area of ​​the town, with small paths to walk on in all directions.

The island country itself does not have a lot of surveillance facilities, especially in a place with complicated road conditions. Finding someone, especially a habitual thief, is almost impossible.

"Anyway, come back with us and register first."

The police were obviously in a dilemma.

"This is the best possible situation at the moment. We can only register the lost property first and then see if the location function of the IPAD or other things can be used."

"If that doesn't work, we can only try to find it in the second-hand market, or investigate past habitual thieves. But you'd better be mentally prepared."

The other party's words were very tactful, but the meaning was very clear. He was telling Sawayama Haruno and Mine Shiori that the things were most likely irrecoverable.

Tokyo is so big, there are so many second-hand markets, and the transportation is so developed.

The habitual offender had long since disappeared without a trace.

Even if you are lucky enough to find the other party, the stolen items may have already been taken away by the other party.

Once it enters the market, it is basically impossible to get it back.

"how so."

Hearing what the other party said, Mine Shiori shuddered and her face became even worse.

"It's fine."

Sawayama Haruno quickly comforted her, "Go back with them to register first. I've already told Ms. Morikawa, she should be here soon."

"."

Mine Shiori opened her mouth and her face became more confused.

All she could think about was that she screwed up.

You should not download the document to your tablet. You should delete it as soon as you finish reading it.

"We have almost finished checking inside. Another colleague of mine will be nearby to help inquire about the situation."

Seeing Mine Shiori on the verge of tears, the police officer was clearly feeling a bit sorry for her and said, "Don't worry. Generally speaking, he only stole from your family and didn't touch anyone else's. This means he's someone who's been observing your family regularly."

"People who often steal things know that they have to plan ahead before they start. I guess the thief this time also observed your habits before going out and made sure you were not at home before he started the theft."

"In this case, he might be noticed by others when he is scouting around. With the addition of surveillance cameras outside the town and near the station, there is still a chance that he can be found."

He had tried his best to comfort the other person.

There was no way around it. Mine Shiori looked so young and cute that she reminded him of his own sister who was in the first grade of junior high school.

Seeing that the other person was about to cry, even though he was an experienced policeman, he felt a little suffocated in his heart.

"What he said makes sense. Calm down first. If Miss Morikawa comes over later, I will explain it to you first." Sawayama Haruno also advised.

After the two of them persuaded her, Mine Shiori's emotions were barely stabilized.

To be on the safe side, and also out of concern for Mine Shiori's mood, Sawayama Haruno followed her into the police officer's car, and the three of them went back to the Metropolitan Police Department to take their statements.

The transcript was completed faster than expected.

It was just a simple registration of information and lost property, including Mine Shiori's daily schedule in recent days.

As soon as the record was completed, Morikawa Riho, who had just separated at noon, hurried to the door of the Metropolitan Police Department, just in time to see Sawayama Haruno walking out, and Mine Shiori, who was tugging at the corner of her clothes and looked absent-minded.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked anxiously: "How is it, have you reported it to the police?"

"I've finished taking notes, but the situation is still not optimistic."

Seeing Morikawa Riho looking haggard, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Morikawa. I made you run an extra trip again."

"Feel sorry."

Mine Shiori next to her didn't dare to look her in the eye and could only lower her head and apologize numbly.

Seeing her like this, even if Morikawa Riho was very angry, she couldn't show it at this time.

She sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. Now we can only pray that the police can help us."

"Things that violate the regulations"

"Let's not do anything about this for now." Morikawa Riho reacted immediately, her expression serious. "We have to keep it a secret for now. The worst-case scenario is someone publishing the manuscript, but there's still a chance they won't do anything."

"Before we receive the latest notification from the police, we just have to stay calm. Otherwise, things will become very troublesome if other people in the group find out," emphasized Riho Morikawa.

As long as you get your tablet and laptop back before anything happens, you can pretend nothing happened.

There's no point in panicking now, all we can do is wait for notification.

Morikawa Riho's behavior was actually a bit "against the rules", but she had no choice. She couldn't just watch Haruno Sawayama and Shiori Mine, who were "connected" to her, get into trouble.
