Chapter 207

Pramia couldn't believe it. Looking at the face opposite him, he wondered what kind of trick this was.

Just because you say you're a police officer doesn't mean you really are! Do you think anyone would believe that?

Just then, a traffic policeman who happened to be passing by seemed to notice the situation: "Oh, Officer Hanchuan! What are you doing here? Do you need help?"

Pramie, who had just been conjuring up a bunch of conspiracy theories, was greatly shocked.

What's going on in Japan? Nobody's applying to police academies anymore, so they're accepting anyone?! Isn't this obviously from the yakuza side?!

The traffic policeman who came over said he was asking if Han Chuan Shenliu needed help, but actually he wanted to help the lady across the street.

He knew that Han Chuan Shenliu was here today looking for a criminal. It was normal for criminal police to have this kind of work. The police in this area had all received photos of wanted criminals, and it certainly wasn't a woman.

The oppressive aura of Hanchuan Shenliu is completely unsuitable for this kind of door-to-door interviewing work. The lady on the other end of the line is just too pitiful!

"It's nothing, I just asked her if she had seen that person."

Pulimia snapped out of her daze and bowed, "I'm sorry, but I really haven't seen it before. I'll head back now..."

She hurried away, and under the cover of the policeman who came to her rescue, she quietly dropped a listening device in the bushes by the roadside.

Pramia's intuition told her that things weren't so simple, especially the way the policeman who stopped her looked at her, which made her very uneasy.

While adjusting her hat, she quietly put on her headphones and eavesdropped on the conversation.

"Foreigners might have face blindness, Officer Hanchuan. Asking them won't help..."

"It's not just that, I feel like I've seen her before."

Pramia's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, yes, yes! That's it! The policeman surnamed Han Chuan looked at her with a gaze that didn't seem like he was simply stopping her to ask if she had seen anyone. Instead, his eyes were like a scanner, staring sharply at her face as if he could see through her disguise.

Pramia was originally quite confident in her makeup skills, but he made her feel uneasy, as if she had revealed something.

Now it's confirmed that the other party may have indeed discovered something, but they weren't sure yet, which is why they let her go.

Thankfully, someone suddenly appeared and diverted her attention. Thanks to this traffic cop, she was able to continue her smug escape...

Pramia continued listening, and then heard the guy who didn't look like a policeman at all suddenly say "Ah."

"What's wrong, Officer Hanchuan?"

"She reminds me a bit of that Pramie."

The traffic police officer was puzzled: "Do they look alike? I don't think so... they're all foreigners..."

Pramia: "…………"

Oh no! Damn it! That guy actually found out!!!

Pramia quickened her pace, began to consider an evacuation route, and then heard the following conversation coming through the listening device.

"Should we call that lady back and ask her?"

"No, thank you," Officer Han Chuan said. "Since she's buying groceries around here, she must be a resident of this area. And since she's a foreigner, she's easy to find. It's time to go home now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, not only was the traffic police stunned, but Pramia was also taken aback and almost twisted his ankle.

But then, Pramia secretly laughed.

Hahaha! This is the consequence of Japan hiring people like this as police officers! They have absolutely no professional ethics!

Even so, she couldn't continue living in this house. She had to change her identity and move to another house to observe the situation. After all, she had multiple safe houses in Tokyo...

Just then, Pramia heard static from the listening device.

It doesn't matter, that traffic cop is already gone, and the cop named Han Chuan is probably...

"The person who was in the way has left."

Officer Han Chuan's voice became clearer than ever before, almost as if he were speaking right next to the listening device—no! He picked up the listening device! The noise just now was the sound of him picking up the listening device!

Pramia was horrified.

What does this tell us?

This suggests that the other party may have confirmed her identity from the beginning, and even saw her attempt to hide the listening device, which is why they were able to pick it up from the bushes so accurately as soon as the traffic policeman left!

I just don't understand why they didn't arrest her immediately, instead giving her a chance to escape...

This was a listening device, not a phone call, so Pramia couldn't ask her questions. Fortunately, the other party quickly continued.

“What a coincidence to meet you, Miss Sishar Marott.”

Even though today should have been their first meeting, the other person had already accurately pronounced the name of her current fake identity—it would be a miracle if they bumped into each other by chance!

Pramia had recently experienced a situation where someone had been secretly investigating her for an unknown period of time, only to suddenly appear and say, "I already know your identity."

Isn't this exactly what that damned organization is doing?!

When Pramia was halfway through her revenge, she realized that the organization was actually very large. Now it seems that she was right after all; there were even members of their organization in the police force!

They came knocking on our door again!

How exactly did they find out about her?!

Pumia was completely baffled and could only suppress his emotions and continue listening to the sounds coming from the other end of the monitor.

"Don't be nervous. This is just my personal action. I have a few questions I want to ask you." Officer Han Chuan continued calmly, "Let's meet tomorrow at noon to discuss this in detail."

After saying that, he recited an address. He wasn't worried about not getting a response, and then he crushed the listening device.

Pramia stood in the alley with a dark expression.

So confident... did they find all the new safe houses she was placed in? How long have they been secretly watching her?

Damn it, I never expected to encounter something like this. She didn't have any recording equipment on her, otherwise, if she had recorded it and sent it to the Metropolitan Police Department, it would have definitely ruined Han Chuan's reputation.

However, the other party emphasized that this was a personal operation... Well, after she blew up several of that organization's bases, she became irreconcilably opposed to that organization. If it were from that organization's perspective, she would not have been met with such a casual "chance encounter" on the roadside, but rather with a new round of assassinations.

In other words, the other party may indeed be acting alone with other motives.

Thinking of this, a ferocious smile finally appeared on Pramia's gloomy face.

Since the other party seems to want to keep her police officer identity, it means she has concerns and other motives. In that case, it's not just her being at a disadvantage. Maybe she can turn the tables and get information out of them.

...No, platitudes alone are not enough to quell my resentment.

Perhaps she could be a little bolder... Anyway, let's investigate first.

After briefly meeting with Pramia, Usoya Saiki went to arrest the fugitive he had used as an excuse to complete his mission, so that he could leave work on time without any problem.

System: [You actually went in using Han Chuan Shenliu's identity... Aren't you going to consider relaying this to the organization?]

[They've organized a bunch of useless idiots, and after all this time they haven't even killed anyone. They're no longer reliable.]

Unfortunately, reliable people like Gin have their own organized tasks to perform. When a task is offered as a bounty within an organization rather than specifically for an individual, the people recruited are usually of average ability.

Pramia is a movie-level boss, and he's flexible and resourceful, almost as good at hiding as Muzan. It's normal that these people can't handle him.

Bo Yezaki said: "[Moreover, her suspicion level is also weighted, and she's quite generous with it. It would be a shame not to use it... Her physical skills are very strong, and my physical body is too fragile for this kind of situation. It's just that Han Chuan Shenliu can go for it. I also wanted to ask her what that bomber's behavior was like before he died.]"

[Is it possible that he was killed in the explosion?]

[Of course not. Knowing her personality, she'll definitely ask how the other person found out about her. Only if she can't get an answer will she take other actions, just like she definitely wants to find out how I found out about her... Anyway, I won't be sleeping tonight.]

system:【……? 】

Bo Yezaki sighed: [There's no way she'd obediently go to meet me; she'll definitely pull some tricks. I'll switch back to my main account and keep an eye on her with 'Universal Navigation.']

System: [Why are you suddenly so diligent? It's making me nervous... And you're even targeting Pramia. Could it be because Kenji Hagiwara has been in a bad mood lately?]

The system assumed that Usaku Saiki would deny it arrogantly, but instead, Usaku Saiki answered shamelessly.

Of course! I'm incredibly good to my friends, and they have to thank me in their second year of graduate school. As for the weight of the Pramia, I didn't care at all...

system:【……】

What's going on? After what Usoya Saiki said, it seems that Hagiwara Kenji is secondary. Thinking about it carefully, Hagiwara Kenji is often persecuted by Kanakawa Shinryu's strange words and has to contribute his suspicion points. He doesn't seem to be showing any mercy... Why is it starting to doubt again? I told you not to use up its suspicion points. It's useless!

Whatever the reason, Usoppei was determined to confront Pramia. He even stayed up all night, using his "all-purpose navigation" to monitor Pramia's movements, noting down places where she stayed for more than five minutes. After Pramia left, he would use keywords to search for and check for any potential safety hazards.

His energy was like that of someone playing a video game, seemingly tireless... In fact, it really was like playing a video game; there was no danger at all, and he became more and more energetic, eagerly anticipating the next day.

After a night of turmoil, Usoya Saiki switched to the account of Hanakawa Shinryu, who had maximum stress tolerance, and went to work the next day.

You couldn't tell he'd stayed up all night. No matter when, Han Chuan Shenliu always looked so energetic. By lunchtime, everyone else looked tired, but he was still like a robot, seemingly unaffected by working for so long.

"Shinryu, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Kenji Hagiwara stretched and tilted his head to ask.

"You and Matsuda eat," Hanakawa Shinryu said, closing the file in his hand. "I'm going out for lunch."

This was unusual, and Kenji Hagiwara was taken aback. He instinctively asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter? Do you need help?"

Hanchuan Shenliu thought for a moment and replied, "That's good."

Oh, that's good, then everything's fine.

Kenji Hagiwara felt relieved, watching as Shinryu Kazukawa casually tucked his gun behind his back and got up to leave the office.

Hagihara Kenji: "...?"

...Although it is indeed during duty hours and one is allowed to carry a gun, what good thing could possibly warrant taking a gun out?
