Chapter 42

Amemiya Keisei crossed his arms over his chest, and his one exposed eye was fixed on Tsushima Shuji who was sitting upright in front of him. On the table next to him was the pistol given to him by Nakahara Chuuya.

Tsushima Shuji was caught red-handed while acting alone. Although he had a calm expression on his face, his eyes were moving uncontrollably and he looked guilty the more he looked.

They had been sitting here for about twenty minutes since Amemiya Leisheng picked up the child from Raibo Street. During this time, Sakaguchi Ango stood at the door and looked at them, but was frightened by the heavy atmosphere in the room and ran away quickly. Neither of them spoke a word, and they just sat facing each other in silence.

Amamiya Ruisei looked at the child with a serious expression, but he didn't mean to criticize him.

[I don't think I look that weak, there's no need to let Shuji-kun take risks,] Amamiya Keizo said to the system, [He's just a child, why doesn't he rely on adults more instead of doing it all by himself.]

He knew that Tsushima Shuji was different from other children. He was precocious and had his own ideas. However, he was usually very obedient and would do whatever he was told. Since he was so sensible, Amamiya Ruishou was naturally relieved to let him stay alone. However, staying alone and putting oneself in danger were two different things.

System: [I checked the data and found that this might be the rebellious period of human children.]

I don't want to obey my parents' words, and the uneasy factor in my personality is ready to stir. It is inevitable that I can't control it and want to be able to arrange my own affairs.

Amamiya Rei's eyes looked a little strange: [Well, I reluctantly think that he cares too much about me, so he wants to solve his own problems alone.]

but……

"Shuji-kun," Amamiya Reisei finally spoke, "Do you know how old you are now?"

Tsushima Shuji lowered his head: "...Ten years old."

Amamiya Reizo: "Then tell me what you did tonight?"

"...I went to Leibo Street alone and was ambushed."

"If it weren't for Nakahara Chuuya, you would have been shot into a sieve by a sniper rifle, Shuji-kun." Amamiya sighed, "If you found anything, you should discuss it with the adults. At the very least, tell Ango-kun or Taneda-san. At least arrange for the support that may be needed instead of acting alone."

Amamiya Leisei stood up, walked to Tsushima Shuji, and hugged him gently: "I am very angry."

Tsushima Shuji said: "Sir, I'm sorry."

"But I'm also worried. If I hadn't passed by Raibo Street, or if Chuuya-kun made a mistake when taking you away, you might have died there, on the road." Amamiya Rei said softly, "Don't make me worry, okay?"

Tsushima Shuji pursed his lips: "... Yeah."

"I just wanted to help you, sir." The boy lowered his head and sighed, "I decided to go there after I confirmed that Nakahara Chuuya was fine."

"and……"

Tsushima Shuji glanced at Amamiya Reizo and then shrank back: "I have confirmed with Mr.'s assistant that he will pass by Raibo Street after get off work tonight."

It was because he had confirmed it that he dared to go out, for fear of an unexpected situation. He did not expect to run into him as soon as he stepped out of Laibo Street. He should have met him on the road, and he could have found another excuse to get away with it.

After being caught like this, he was in such a mess because of running away that he had no way of making excuses.

Amamiya Leisheng glared at him and said, "Are you sure I won't receive other news and go somewhere else?"

The young man sighed in his heart, this kid is really capable.

Tsushima Shuji whispered, "So I was originally planning to ask Nakahara Chuuya to bring me back."

Amamiya Leisheng covered his face helplessly: "What did you talk about with Chuuya-kun? Why did he agree to it?"

"It's just ordinary cooperation." Tsushima Shuji said, "Give him what the organization needs, and he will help."

Amamiya was suspicious: "Really?"

"Really?" the boy nodded without hesitation. "You can find out about this by asking Mr. Amamiya."

Amamiya Raisei looked at Tsushima Shuji's expression, but didn't see anything. He curled his lips and handed him the pistol beside him: "There can't be a next time. I don't want to see your body one day. Take this gun for self-defense. Now that the goal of the port Mafia has changed from catching you to killing you, they won't care about anything anymore. You will be more dangerous."

Tsushima Shuji took the gun and muttered, "I don't want to see your corpse someday..."

He spoke in a low voice. Amamiya Ruisei was thinking about something and didn't hear him for a while: "What?"

"Nothing."

Tsushima Shuji shook his head and said, "Can you find out why the rumors about me became like this?"

"I've asked someone to arrange it." Amamiya Leisei rubbed his forehead with a headache. These past few days, things had been happening one after another. First, he had to investigate the location of the 'book', and then the branch was attacked. Even the news about Tsushima Shuji kept changing.

The method of information obfuscation that he and Taneda Santouka mentioned before had been around for some time, but it didn't seem to be effective.

When Amamiya Ruisei thought about the undercover agent who might be in high places, he felt deeply worried. If he was just anxious to get the "book", it wouldn't be a big deal, but he always felt that... he was also putting pressure on Tsushima Shuji.

He touched Tsushima Shuji's hair with a worried look in his eyes.

…

Shuji Tsushima's situation has become more dangerous, and he has no choice but to stay in the branch. Amamiya Keio tried to contact Santoka Taneda to ask if he should just send him back to Tokyo, but was rejected.

"I have secretly investigated the undercover matter you told me about before," Taneda Santouko scratched his hair, "I encountered a lot of resistance, and I didn't find much. Even if Shuji returns to Tokyo, the other party has a way to send him back to Yokohama."

"But I was a little surprised that the Tsushima family contacted me and said they could help, and the things they asked for were very ordinary."

Taneda Santouko touched his chin and said, "Maybe he felt that he would need to be repaired in the future, so he didn't want him to die like this."

Amamiya Reizo: “Are you really okay?”

"I'll be careful. You should stay in Yokohama for now. I'll secretly transfer a few more psychics over there and take the opportunity to get rid of the undercover. Otherwise, the problem will always exist." Taneda Santohuo comforted, "It will be fine. You should also be careful and don't use your psychic powers all the time."

"If Shuji-kun were in danger, I would definitely use it."

Amamiya Leisei said, "By the way, how is the matter I asked you to do?"

"About Hisako?" Taneda Santouko flipped through his files, took a few photos and sent them to Amamiya Ruisho. "The one Shuji saw was indeed her son. The body sent over has been verified. He went missing before and has never been found. I didn't expect that he was taken to Yokohama and controlled by someone."

"I guess the person behind this sending of information to Xiuzhi was also behind this."

Amamiya Leisei: "I still can't figure it out. Why did you tell Shuji-kun? If you're going to kill him, wouldn't it be better if he doesn't know about it?"

"Until they catch someone, who knows? Maybe it's just their bad taste, maybe they like the feeling of their prey being cornered. I don't understand the psychology of perverted criminals."

Taneda Santouko shook his head: "By the way, Kukiko was in Tokyo before, and now she should have gone to Yokohama. She may be seeking revenge on those people, so you should pay attention."

"Okay, I understand."

Taneda Santouki: "And then there's... the matter of Nakahara Chuuya."

"I spent a lot of effort to get this, and there is only so little information," he smacked his lips, "Nakahara Chuuya seems to be related to the military laboratory that exploded in Yokohama three years ago. The members of the Sheep have also been secretly investigating related matters in recent years."

"If Zhongyuan Zhongye is from that laboratory..."

Zhongtian Shantou paused for a moment and said, "I think bringing him to the Special Power Agent Department is not a good choice. Maybe you can look for other forces that have official connections but are not completely government departments like us. This way, you can provide him with some help without being completely controlled by the government."

"And you said that his personality is simple and not suitable for a place like ours. Even if he is not as smart as Shuji, he should at least be as smart as Ango."

Amamiya Reizo frowned slightly. "Is that so? I understand. I'll look for it. If it's not in Yokohama, I can take it to other cities."

After losing contact, Amamiya Ruisheng collapsed on the sofa, looking like a dead person.

"Sir?" Tsushima Shuji pushed the door open and walked in. "Have you finished talking to Chief Taneda? Come and finish your soup."

"That's all."

Amamiya struggled to get up from the sofa, took the soup that Tsushima Shuji handed him, and said, "Chief Taneda said that Kukiko might come to Yokohama. Do you want to contact her?"

Tsushima Shuji was stunned.

"Her purpose for coming to Yokohama is probably very simple, to avenge her child." Amamiya Raisei said, "With her strength, she is likely to die. I understand her feelings, so I don't intend to stop her. Instead, I think I can provide her with some help."

"The organization that controls her child is a subsidiary of the Port Mafia. We also have to fight the Port Mafia. We can choose to act with her, and maybe we can save her life."

"Shuji-kun, you and Kukiko are the best contact, can you give it a try?"

Tsushima Shuji hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I'll try to contact her later."

Amamiya Leisei smiled slightly: "Oh, by the way, there is also the matter of Nakahara Chuuya-kun. Chief Taneda said that it would be best if he did not come to the Special Ability Division, so you don't have to worry."

The boy blinked, and his expression brightened visibly.
