Chapter 119
By the time Jiu Chong Shi Ren and his friend arrived, the matter had actually been resolved, but not completely, because Jiu Chong Shi Ren spotted a familiar melon-themed van downstairs.
Officer Shima and Ibuki Ai responded to a call—but not for the case of a break-in at the home of Koju Seijin's friend.
The report they received stated that an elderly woman witnessed a murder, and if they arrived late, the woman might also die. Sensing the urgency of the situation, they immediately turned on their sirens and ran a red light to get there.
As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Jiu Chong Shi Ren and his friends, who were on vacation.
Jiuchong Shiren and his two colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ibuki Ran was more anxious: "What are you doing here? Never mind, there's no time to explain, let's get together and attack! Someone's been killed, and the old lady might be taken hostage!"
"Huh?" The people of the Nine Heavens were a little confused, but they still subconsciously got into work mode and followed. "Which floor?"
"Second floor!"
The expression on the face of the person from the Nine Heavens suddenly changed, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped: "Well, I think..."
Isn't the second floor where Han Chuan-kun lives? How could someone possibly kidnap someone and succeed right under Han Chuan-kun's nose?
And considering the timing, it seems like something must have happened at his friend's house... Han Chuan-jun wouldn't commit murder; at most, he would have just knocked someone unconscious, right? Perhaps it's a misunderstanding...
Having seen through everything, Kokkyuu Seito had no chance to express his reasoning, especially since Ibuki Ran ran off at breakneck speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only Inspector Shima was about as fast as him, but he didn't notice Kokkyuu Seito's hesitation.
Officer Shimo simply asked, "What are you doing here?"
"My friend's house is here...and then, Han Chuan..."
The running caused the people in the Nine Realms to speak in fits and starts. When Officer Shima heard "friend's house," he stopped listening and assumed that he was simply accompanying a friend and had no idea that they were going anywhere else.
A short while later, they ran from the parking space to the second floor and saw Ibuki Ran standing at the open doorway with an extremely subtle expression, doing something unknown.
Officer Shima's temper flared when he saw Ibuki Ai's unprofessional behavior: "Ibuki Ai!!!"
"Ah, Shimamo, good news!" Ibuki Ran turned her head with a smile and said, "No one died, it was all a misunderstanding!"
Officer Shimo's anger subsided instantly: "...Hmm?"
Hearing this, the people of the Nine Heavens breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it! With Han Chuan-jun here, things wouldn't have escalated to this point..."
The smile that had initially brought Shima relief at hearing that no one had been killed gradually faded, and then he asked expressionlessly, "What does this have to do with Hanchuan?"
Ibuki Ai blinked, stepped aside, and let Officer Shikimo enter the room: "Kanakawa-kun is right here."
Officer Shima: “…………”
He walked over silently, looked inside, and sure enough, saw Han Chuan Shenliu's face, which always caused trouble.
For some reason, seeing Hanchuan Shenliu there suddenly made me understand why such a false alarm would occur...
Officer Shimo pressed his forehead in anguish: "What on earth happened? Someone explain this to me!"
The friend of the Nine Heavens finally caught up with the main group, but the information was too advanced, leaving him particularly confused: "W-wasn't it just a forced entry? How did people die? I don't understand!"
As he spoke, he felt a strange chill and subconsciously glanced at his home, only to unexpectedly meet a pair of cold, dark red eyes.
A sense of dread, like a herbivore being targeted by a carnivore, rose from the soles of his feet. He instinctively tried to run, but his legs inexplicably went weak. All anyone could see was him staggering uncoordinated, missing the hand that the people of the Nine Realms were trying to grab, falling backward and hitting his head with a thud. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
"..."
Kankawa Shinryu watched this scene quietly, then turned to Inspector Shima and said, "You ask what happened? That's it, it's exactly the same as his performance."
Officer Shima: “…………”
Regarding the case of the forced entry, Usuoba Saiki was indeed innocent.
Bo Yezaki simply walked in and tapped the person who was rummaging through drawers on the shoulder from behind. The person even turned around impatiently, and was so startled that he stumbled and fell, hitting his head.
Before he could even say a word, this guy knocked himself unconscious.
This is the first time that Usaku Saiki has ever been targeted like this!
If things had ended there, it would have been fine. At most, Bo Yezhaiji would have just made a comment that he had never seen such an idiotic prisoner, and then waited for Jiuchong Shiren and the others to arrive.
As expected, an unexpected incident occurred.
Perhaps the noise from this guy rummaging through drawers and cabinets was too loud, and the door was also left open, making it quite conspicuous as it was forcibly pried open, which attracted the attention of the old lady from the house at the far end of this floor who came over to see what was going on.
As the saying goes, timing is everything. The old lady walked shakily to the door, looked inside, and saw a man with a "I am a heartless killer" expression standing there, with a "corpse" lying at his feet.
The old woman instantly let out a high-pitched scream, and with a voice far beyond her years, shouted, "Murder!!!"
The shouts echoed throughout the apartment building. Not long after, the search and rescue team 404, who happened to be patrolling nearby, received the call and arrived at the scene. This is how everyone ended up gathered together.
After figuring out all of this, Officer Shimo fell into a long silence, covering his face in anguish.
So, this guy, Hanchuan Shenliu, was just on vacation watching TV at home when he stumbled upon a burglary, and somehow managed to knock two people unconscious and scare the entire building... Their reputation for being a 404-indexed search engine has been ruined once again—
Oh right, this guy isn't with the Mobile Investigation Unit anymore, he's with the First Investigation Division!
Officer Shimo breathed a sigh of relief.
There's no way around it, their machine-generated 404 errors don't need to be any more famous. The things that have happened in the last two months are enough to keep them talking about for five years to come!
Ibuki Ran didn't think too much about it; she was simply happy that no murder had actually occurred: "So, Hanchuan-kun lives here! You're neighbors with Kyuu's friend?"
“No, I stayed here for a while before, and this house is actually vacant now.” Jiuzhong Shiren woke up his unconscious friend, helped him into the house to lie down, and heard Yibu Ran’s question as soon as he came out. He answered, “Strictly speaking, this is actually my friend’s mother’s house. Some of his mother’s inheritance is stored here… The person who broke in was his uncle.”
It appears this is a family dispute.
That makes sense, after all, someone who can pick locks directly and then swagger in and ransack the place without even closing the door must have some kind of backing. Bo Yezaki had already guessed that this person might have some connection with the homeowner, which made him think he could get away with it.
Sigh, although he scared the uncle into fainting, I hope this guy won't cause any trouble, otherwise his friend Jiuchong Shiren will be the one writing the self-criticism later.
The people of the Nine Heavens also realized this problem: "My friend doesn't get along with his uncle, but don't worry, he definitely won't complain about you."
Officer Shimo said quietly, "But given how things have turned out, you might still need to write a self-criticism."
Bo Yezaki calmly replied, "Kyuujō-kun will write it for me."
Officer Shima: "...???"
He looked at the people of the Nine Heavens with a bewildered expression.
Jiuchong Shiren nodded: "Yes, I will help Hanchuan-jun write a self-criticism!"
When he heard Shima-senpai yell at Hanchuan-kun, "Give me back my self-criticism!" last time, he knew that Hanchuan-kun didn't like writing self-criticisms. Since he was the one who made the promise first, if it really needed to be written, he would definitely be responsible for it.
Officer Shima was greatly shocked: "...Kujou, don't spoil him...Kanchuan, what if you have to write another self-criticism when you go to the First Investigation Division?"
Bo Yezaki thought for a moment: "The second-year graduate student should be able to write it for me."
Officer Shima: “…………”
He now has some doubts: if we disregard the provocative letter from last time, has this guy ever actually written even a single self-criticism?
Could it be that he just finds people to write all the essays for him? Speaking of which, was he scammed when he helped write the self-criticism last time?
Ibuki Ai, who was also a prolific writer of self-criticisms, was very envious: "That's so nice, having someone help you write your self-criticisms... By the way, is Hanukawa-kun going to join the First Investigation Division? I'm so envious~ Does he feel that his work is full of meaning every day?"
Usoya Saiki pondered for a moment: "I'll answer you after I go and investigate the First Division's report."
"You haven't reported for duty yet?"
"Yeah, because I solved a case during the holiday, the section chief gave me a forced leave. I probably won't be able to go back to work for another week."
Ibuki Ai: "...?"
Officer Shima had a rough idea of what the case was... After all, when he watched the news today, he had a feeling that the police officer mentioned in the news as a criminal consultant was probably Shinryu Kanakawa.
He was a little curious, but not really. After all, he was aware of Han Chuan Shenliu's perverse sense of humor and knew that if he asked, the other party would definitely say something strange. So he urged him in a businesslike manner: "Stop talking. Let's go and appease the others first. People upstairs and downstairs think we're arresting a murderer. We need to make sure they can live in peace."
"Huh? But I finally got to see Hanchuan-kun, and I don't know when I'll see him again..."
Upon hearing this, Officer Shimo fell silent for some reason, then his expression turned somewhat pained.
"Perhaps there's no need to worry so much; we might meet again soon..."
—Given Hanakawa Fukami's tendency to cause accidents, the chances of running into him at the scene might actually be quite high...
Officer Shima and Ibuki Ai went to explain the situation to the residents of the building who were living in fear, leaving the rest to Kojō Seijin.
It seemed that Jiuchong Shiren's friend had finally finished arguing with his uncle. Although he still had a bump on his head, he didn't hold any grudge against Bo Yezhai. Instead, he smiled carefully and said, "Thank you, Officer Hanchuan. I'm so sorry to have troubled you. I don't know how to thank you enough. There are many of my mother's belongings stored here. If they were taken, the consequences would be unimaginable... Um, I heard that you are currently on leave, Officer Hanchuan?"
Bo Yezhai nodded absentmindedly.
As expected, the young master of the Nine Heavens was also a second-generation rich kid. He waved his hand and readily agreed.
"If the officer doesn't mind, how about I invite you to a vacation in Hawaii? What do you think, officer?"

Zhimo: In your life, have you ever written a self-criticism? (The one that was rejected was a provocative letter and doesn't count.)
Japanese Public Security Bureau/FBI: What do you think?
Shima:......
