Chapter 72: Chuuya makes a handsome appearance and confronts his brother

I thought my partner's wife was actually his sister.

Jouya Caiju felt like cursing in his heart. The key point was that although he said at that time that a boring and straight man like Suehiro Tetsuji would definitely be kicked out by his wife within a few years of marriage, he still gave a large and generous gift money with a clear conscience.

...When this guy accepted the gift money and blessings, his heart beat calmly and proudly.

At that time, he thought, although Suehiro Tetsuji was the first one among the [Hounds] to get married, there was nothing to be proud of!

I have to say that Tiao Yecaiju was jealous at that time.

But now I know the truth.

He couldn't wait to know the reactions of the other Hound members.

"What are you doing here?"

Takanashi Hayana's words brought back the thoughts of Jouya Caiju, who was grabbing her partner's collar.

Loosening the collar of Suehiro Tetsuji, Jouno Caiju walked up to Takanashi Hayana, bowed slightly to show friendliness, and with a curved eyebrow, he looked very gentlemanly and gentle: "Nice to meet you. I am your brother's partner, Jouno Caiju."

"Well, you can call me brother."

“Hmm!”

As soon as he finished saying this, he was stabbed in the butt by the tip of the knife that Suehiro Tiechang could extend.

Suehiro Tetsuji said in a serious voice: "Don't harass my sister."

With a pained expression on her face, Jyouye Caiju turned around and said, "It's just a normal greeting. Are you a sister complex?!"

"Probably," Suehiro Tetsuji thought seriously, "Whenever he sees a man approaching, he can't control the knife in his hand."

"Doesn't this make you want to snatch her away even more?" Covering his hip with one hand, Tiaoye Caiju's handsomeness was greatly reduced, but his voice remained gentle. "Even though she's a member of the mafia, she must have something very special to make you accept her as your sister, right?"

"I'm very curious."

"Um."

Suehiro Tetsuji gave a direct answer: "Because she has a good mother."

Tiao Ye Cai Ju: "..."

He was choked again, speechless.

Seeing his partner's dazed expression, Suehiro Tetsuji looked at Hayana Kotori. In order to prevent her from taking risks abroad, he sold out his partner without hesitation: "Jono was the one who arrested Dazai Osamu."

Feeling the sharp gaze of Hayana Kotori, Jouno Ayaki suddenly became serious: "You idiot!"

Suehiro Tetsuji's sister. Judging from her heartbeat, breathing and the smell of blood on her body, she had previously experienced a very physically demanding battle and appeared here only after recovering from exhaustion through sleep.

Did he want him to stop her?

"No." Tiaoye Caiju said she would not help.

Seeing what they meant, Hayana Kotori also understood that facing two members of the [Hound], and her physical strength had not yet fully recovered, what she needed most now was to have a good meal to quickly restore her strength.

She stepped back slowly, her eyes fixed on the two people who were arguing childishly, guarding against any sudden attack.

After she retreated to a certain distance, Tiaoye Caiju suddenly turned around and looked at her: "I've been seen through."

"I was originally thinking of knocking you out while you were relaxed, but now it seems I have no choice but to attack you." As he said this, his hand slowly reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist -

"I was only acting according to the wishes of this idiot. Please don't bear a grudge against me in the future."

"If I beat you up here, I might forgive you." Hayana Kotori's face turned cold. "Or, tell me the reason for your appearance in the city and where Dazai Osamu is being held."

With his hand on the hilt, Tiaoye Caiju slowly drew the knife: "I can't answer the latter question for your brother's sake, but the former..."

His words suddenly became slow and solemn: "The Armed Detective Agency is the Five Degenerates of Heaven. We have been ordered to arrest them."

Kotori Hayato was stunned by his words, but soon came to her senses: "Is Edogawa Ranpo among them too?"

"He's missing right now," replied Suehiro Tetsuji, who showed a photo. "Jono and I are mainly hunting these five people."

With one hand, she set up a barrier to block Jyouya Caiju's surprise attack, and then Hayana Takanashi looked at the photo.

The people in the photo are: Doppo Kunikida, Akiko Yosano, Junichiro Tanizaki, Atsushi Nakajima and Kyoka Izumi.

Unexpectedly, Jyouya Caiju's special ability is molecularization. Faced with the young man who suddenly disappeared into the barrier, Takanashi Hayato reacted quickly, avoiding the opponent's grabbing hand in the blink of an eye, and at the same time flipped backwards to withdraw from the disappearing barrier. The next second, the knife in his hand was pierced straight through and frozen in the swinging posture.

What a powerful reaction ability.

Surprised that the opponent could react so quickly despite being so tired, Tiao Ye Caiju let go of the knife handle.

The knife he released did not fall to the ground, but instead froze in mid-air.

Takanashi Hayana took out her cell phone.

The two people opposite were a little curious about her actions.

"Before I dial, I have a question," she said.

Tiaoye Caiju was very interested: "What?"

"It's impossible to capture me in such a short time," said Hayato Kotori, analyzing the current situation with a slight curve of her lips. "But you're still tasked with arresting the Armed Detective Agency, right? Can you really afford to waste your time with me?"

"Plus, this is in the city, with countless people coming and going. It really puts me in a desperate situation. Perhaps their lives will be threatened."

"After all, I'm the ruthless Port Mafia. If you attack me here, you, who have a duty to protect the citizens, will become the culprits who killed the citizens."

Hearing her words, Suehiro Tetsuji and Jo also picked up chrysanthemums.

"What a cute way to threaten someone." The smile on Jyouya Caiju's face suddenly turned devilish. She didn't sound like a righteous police officer, but rather a villain. "But making unnecessary sacrifices to capture you is inevitable, right? I believe those citizens who hail us as heroes will understand. Afterwards, when we throw you in front of the victim's family, I think they will vent their grief and resentment... It hurts!"

Holding her right buttock, Tiaoye Caiju burst into tears in pain. "Isn't it extra deep this time? I tell you, you idiot, can't you see that I'm just trying to break her threat? How much of a sister complex are you? As expected, you idiot who only cares about muscles, it's better for you to die!"

The knife in his hand returned to its original shape, and Suehiro Tetsuji sincerely apologized to his partner: "It was a subconscious reaction. I couldn't control it just now."

"Anyway, I'm sorry, but I won't fight back if you try to hit me."

Tiao Ye Cai Ju: "..."

"..." Hayana Kotori sighed helplessly: "In this case, we can only adopt the bottom-up plan."

"What?" Suehiro Tetsuji had a bad feeling.

"Call mom," said Hayana Kotori, "Tell her you found a perverted colleague to bully me."

Jouya, who is known as a perverted colleague, watched the brother and sister's show from the sidelines.

Suehiro Tetsuji: “!”

"Oh my." The black-haired woman, with a nasty look on her face, jumped on her brother's broken defense line. "If Mom knew that her beloved son actually hired someone to beat up her own daughter, she would definitely be furious, right? She might even be considered a pervert?"

Suehiro Tetsuji's entire body tensed up. "You said before that work matters shouldn't interfere with family."

Hayana Kotori boasted in a wicked way: "I can't help it, because I'm best at not keeping my word."

"It's connected." The dialing sound on the phone in her hand suddenly stopped.

Sensing something unusual, Tiaoye picked up some chrysanthemums and looked up into the sky.

The figure that suddenly fell down carried with it a weight as heavy as a mountain. When it landed, the entire ground cracked, smoke, dust, and sand flew away, and spread outwards like a whirlwind, with the young man who made a high-profile appearance as the center!

The branches of the trees in the center of the street rustled in the wind, and the citizens who were watching the excitement around them fled in panic.

The wind blew up Hayana Kotori's hair, revealing her smooth forehead. Her pair of clear black and white eyes stared brightly at the ochre-haired young man who was standing between her and Suehiro Tetsugu.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Suehiro Tetsuji stood calmly in place, watching the person whose figure gradually appeared.

With one hand supporting the ground and the other holding the brim of his hat, Nakahara Chuuya, who was supporting himself on one knee, raised his head slightly, and his cobalt blue eyes, as sharp as if poisoned, revealed the edge of a [Gravity User].

He stood up, subconsciously standing in a posture ready to attack at any time, like a cheetah, full of imposing momentum and tit-for-tat spirit.

The atmosphere on the entire street became tense.

Hearing the heartbeat of the person coming, Tiaoye Caiju was slightly surprised: "It's you, the one who rescued the Armed Detective Agency before."

"I didn't expect to see you again," Nakahara Chuuya said in a low voice, raising his chin slightly. "You just attacked the detective agency, and now you're attacking our port mafia. You guys..."

"Do you want to be crushed by gravity?"

He asked this question calmly and seriously, and the fierce murderous aura emanating from him was like a sharp blade against a person's throat.

As an older brother, he actually attacked his sister and made Hayana look so embarrassed.

Under the title of [Hound], he actually abandoned his responsibilities as an older brother. The anger in Nakahara Chuuya's heart was almost out of control.

Kotori Hayato looked at Suehiro Tetsugu and asked with a smile, "Can I go now, you two?"

Realizing she was being tricked by her youngest sister, she didn't call her mother, but instead took advantage of her nervousness to send her location to the person who came looking for her.

Suehiro Tetsuji looked at Nakahara Chuuya who was standing in front of his younger sister and facing him with a protective attitude.

Very unhappy.

Ranpo has disappeared. He wanted to protect his only sister from harm, but was stopped.

Pulling out his knife, Suehiro Tetsuji asked, "In what capacity do you stand before her?"

Stunned by the question, Nakahara Chuuya answered very seriously: "As a pursuer."

"Even if you are my brother this time, I will not hold back."

"Wow--"

With a sigh, Jyouya Caiju was amazed that he could actually see a family battle in the mission.

He glanced at Suehiro Tetsuji and asked, "Can't control it anymore?"

"I'm very upset." Suehiro Tetsuji said, "I can't lose anymore."

"No matter how much I can't bear to lose her, no matter how much I don't understand her actions..." Nakahara Chuuya's anger almost came out of his throat, "As a brother, you can't join forces with your colleagues to attack Hayana."

"He actually beat his own sister into this miserable state."

"You bastard, you don't deserve to be my brother!"

"Pfft." Tiaoye Caiju covered her mouth and tried her best to hold back her laughter.

Suehiro Tetsuji, who was holding the knife, was stunned and looked at Hayana Kotori, who was covered in dust, had scratches on the exposed parts of her body, and there was a wound on her neck that had already scabbed over. She was extremely exhausted.

He suddenly felt - so unfair.
