Shinjuku, in a small two-bedroom apartment.

The first rays of morning light shined through the gaps in the curtains and shone on the two picture frames at the head of the bed, one large and one small, reflecting a dazzling light.

Inside the larger frame, a happy photo of a man with braided hair proudly hugging a long-haired beauty.

In another slightly yellowed frame, three young boys with fierce eyes and ragged clothes stand shoulder to shoulder in front of the gate of the "Little Daisy Welfare Home".

Perhaps the reflected morning light was too harsh, and one of the men in the room opened his eyes and squinted at the ceiling.

Then, he lifted the quilt lightly, revealing his strong upper body, and turned over to get up.

Deriving from the man's back to the shoulders and arms directly in front of him is a lifelike three-headed Cerberus tattoo that wants to come out of the frame.

"Xinghei, aren't you resting today, don't you sleep more......"

The woman beside him grabbed him from behind in a daze.

"Reiko, you sleep a little longer, I have ...... Something that has to be addressed. ”

The man firmly and gently placed the quilt on the woman's fragrant shoulder, and with the silent footsteps of an assassin, he came to the bathroom.

That's right, he is the head of the Nuluo Fist House, the head of the Kabukicho branch in Shinjuku Ward, and the one who once kicked and broke 14 eggs in a row in one night, "Cerberus" Higashino Kohei.

Today is his day off.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face cleanly, Kohei Higashino looked at himself in the mirror with murderous eyes.

In the mirror, his upper body with obvious muscle lines has several knife marks.

This is the medal of the "Cerberus".

"Today, there's still a bunch of guys waiting for me to solve......"

With that, Higashino Kohei went topless and came to the small open kitchen.

He quickly fastened his apron, pulled out a short knife, and began to operate on the desk with astonishing hand speed.

As he moves quickly, omelets, stir-fried vegetables, grilled meats, and decorated fruits appear one after another as if by magic.

At this moment, the kitchen is like his piano, allowing his nimble hands to roam the black and white keys, and a grand solo begins.

"Ding".

The crisp sound of the rice cooker sounded, as if it was the perfect ending to this solo performance.

"Alright...... The final step...... There is no room for ...... mistakes."

Higashino quickly thrust the kitchen knife into the board and took out a cute pink lunch box.

He carefully pads the rice into the bottom of the box and lays out the cooked food one by one.

“…… Naruto Nachinto bento, finished. ”

On the bento box, various shapes of food are formed into an anime character with blonde cat whiskers and a ninja headband.

"Is it an anime bento today...... You only wear an apron, so sexy......"

A soft body hugged Kohei Higashino from behind.

"Sorry, did you wake you up too loudly......"

"No, I don't want to sleep...... Who would have thought that the guy I picked up was covered in blood at the beginning, not only can he cook so well, but he is also so sexy in an apron shirtless. ”

Reiko Shirasui kissed him softly and turned to go to the bathroom.

That's right, Kohei Higashino, who was cut half to death and "picked up" by Reiko Shirasui who passed by, is a good man who loves cooking in private.

In order to ensure that his fiancée can eat exquisite and healthy food after work, he will make a well-calculated, nutritionally balanced, delicious and cute bento for her on her days off.

The opening of his culinary talent is due to the glorious custom of Nuluoquan to assign his younger brother to work in his Chinese restaurant and obtain the "chef's exemption" in order to "legally carry a knife".

Half an hour later.

"Kohei, I'll go out, see you at night!"

Reiko Shirasui dressed as an OL bites into the burnt and crispy honey toast of Kohei Higashino in her mouth, and hurriedly puts on her high heels in the hallway.

"Good...... You go well, and today you want to be prosperous! “

Higashino Kohei hurriedly bowed respectfully and offered a bento box wrapped in a cartoon handkerchief.

After Reiko Shirasui closed the door and left, he showed a sinister smile.

"The rest day has just begun, and the next thing is ...... Clear the turf! Don't let go of any detail, boy, and let me see if you're ruthless enough......"

With that, Higashino activated a black disc object on the living room floor.

Then he took out a rag and began to sweep the room.

Cleaning, laundry, drying......

After doing all this, Higashino Kohei lifted his watch, glanced at the time, and dialed someone's phone.

"Hey...... The time, place and goods are arranged for you, and you know the rules of cash transactions......"

Hanging up the phone, Kohei Higashino, standing on the balcony with his tattoos exposed, bent down and took out a clear plastic bag filled with white powder from under the flower pot.

"I almost forgot to bring this ruthless thing with me."

As he said this, he smiled evilly.

……

At the same time, several men were in the building opposite Higashino's apartment, monitoring his every move with binoculars.

"Well, what is he talking about?"

"Time...... Place...... Goods...... Cash ......"

The man with the binoculars was trying to read his lips.

"Matsudaira Police Department added, lips can only read these...... This guy is professional and not a single piece of useful information leaks out of his mouth! ”

At this moment, on the opposite balcony, Kohei Higashino, who hung up the phone, looked over attentively.

His grim eyes suddenly made the "Matsudaira Police Department Supplement" holding the telescope retract behind the curtain in fright.

"Impossible, from such a distance, it is impossible to see me with the naked eye!"

Frightened by the other party's terrifying eyes through the binoculars, Matsudaira only felt a chill in his vest.

They belong to the fourth group of the third section of the organized crime countermeasures, and are responsible for secretly investigating the Nuluo Fist.

As the head of the younger brother of Nuluo Fist, the ruthless man "Cerberus" Higashino Kohei has long been listed with them.

Because the "Big Brother Zhang" of Nuluo Fist is too elusive, they can only try to use "Cerberus" as a breakthrough.

"Ruthless...... Goods? Wait, there is a breakthrough in the case! From the corner of the balcony, the target took out several packets of white powder in clear plastic bags......"

Another man with a telescope seemed to have made a new discovery, and his voice broke with excitement.

“…… Report, the target packed those packets of powder in a suitcase and went out! ”

"Hey, after staring at it for so many days, have you finally shown your feet...... Cerberus is also an expert in this area, and he must feel that it is foolproof, so he will go out to 'trade'. ”

Hearing the words of his colleagues, Officer Matsudaira hurriedly reported to the headquarters, while several other men hurriedly packed up the equipment on the table and prepared to go out to follow them.

"Report to the headquarters, this is the fourth group of the third section of the organized crime countermeasures, and the target is found to be suspected of illegal transactions, and will be further tracked ......"

"Don't run away for that kid, get the car ready!"

The gang stayed in this dilapidated apartment building day and night for a week, and the "case" finally made a substantial breakthrough.

……

Ten minutes later.

Dressed in a black suit, carrying a suitcase, and with a cold face, Kohei Higashino went out.

In the corridor of the apartment, in the elevator hall, and outside the main gate, he will give a "warm" smile to the residents who come in and out from time to time, so that the other party will be moved to get the special effects of "movement speed +1000%" and "suddenly want to climb the stairs".

"Today, I got along happily with my neighbors as Reiko instructed."

Walking downstairs, he stepped onto a black and white locomotive in the parking space.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

With a dull growl of dissatisfaction, the locomotive started listlessly under his crotch.

"Keep up, keep up...... Riding this kind of modified car for the mob clan to trade, ordinary cars can't outrun him at all, this guy is really an expert in this area. ”

In the building behind, two family cars hoisted far behind him.

"Eh, when has Sousuke's car been changed again, the control feels so good, but the power seems to be too fierce."

Driving on the road at a speed that fully complied with traffic regulations, Higashino Kohei was somewhat amazed at the good condition of the locomotive under him.

That's right, the locomotive that he rode under him to operate to his heart's content was none other than Sosuke Araki's "Sengoku Samurai".

In order to prevent someone from driving without a license due to itchy hands before completing the "revocation training" and re-obtaining the motorcycle exemption, the car was kept by him as a bail officer during this period.

The "Sengoku Samurai" shuttles nimbly through the chaotic traffic.

"It is worthy of the hellhound Higashino Kohei, the route is so unpredictable, it can be seen that the anti-reconnaissance capability is also first-class......"

Matsudaira in the sedan sneered and exclaimed.

"Senior, now is not the time to praise each other......

The detective in charge of driving the car made a mistake.

The guy in front of him obviously didn't speed and press the line, but he relied on his ability to shuttle through the traffic jam, which made them almost lose it several times.

The locomotive left Shinjuku City all the way and soon came to a place in Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward.

Kohei Higashino drove the locomotive into the open parking lot, sat on the locomotive and made a phone call.

"Sure enough, are you going to connect with someone here......

Parking in a car across the street, several police detectives were constantly analyzing and recording his behavior

After a while, a man wearing a hard hat, a white vest, gloves, and a construction worker's outfit walked in.

"Workers at nearby construction sites......

"It's naïve, take a closer look, do any workers look like this?"

After being reminded by the Matsudaira Police Department, several people found that the construction worker was dressed as a blonde man with sculptural muscles, a fierce expression, and six-pointed stars carved on his sideburns.

“…… Although this person deliberately disguised himself as an inconspicuous construction worker, his demeanor and temperament looked like a buyer!! ”

Seeing the two criminal-looking men getting closer and closer, one of the detectives reached for the weapon at his waist with some nervousness.

"Do you want to arrest me immediately?"

"Wait...... The other party is far from showing a flaw, we have to put a long line and catch a big fish. ”

Matsudaira sneered and pressed him.

What he wants is far more than just Kohei Higashino.

……

"Wow, my Sengoku samurai, are you okay, did this guy do anything strange to you...... What, he stuffed strange stuff into your exhaust pipe? Pathetic ......."

"Bastard, don't start such an inexplicable conversation with the locomotive! Is it that the bricks at the construction site are too hot and have burned your head? ”

The one who came to "connect" with Kohei Higashino was Sosuke Araki, who had lost his precious job at the Demaikan and had recently been able to make a living by doing odd jobs at construction sites.

Seeing the "Warring States Samurai" who had not been seen for a few days, he completely ignored Higashino Kohei on the side, and went directly up to hug the locomotive and cry.

The black-and-white XJR4000 also emitted a faint engine sound that was intermittent and like a cry.

It's just that he hasn't ridden for a few days, but he's lost as if he's lost a part of his body.

"Don't worry, when you don't ride, you can cover your ...... with a tarpaulin."

Higashino Yuhei said disdainfully, and handed the box in his hand to the other party: "This is the ruthless thing I told you before, and I don't tell him ...... ordinary people."

"Oh? Is it really that good? I'll go back and try ......."

Sousuke Araki took the box with a happy face.

"How is the new job, are you looking for a good job?"

Higashino Kohei looked at this tenacious guy worriedly.

"Of course, but as always, no one approached me for an interview...... You don't know, the bricks on the construction site are so hot, and there are always strange uncles who look at people's bodies with subtle eyes, so that I don't dare to bend down casually to move bricks......"

Sousuke Araki complained to him with a resentful look about the difficulty of moving bricks.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, Brother Zhang has already arranged the 'goods' for you, and this time it should be able to make you a good profit."

"Why don't you go ...... then?"

……

"Delivery...... Deal! Have you taken all the pictures just now? ”

"It's all filmed! Is it time to make an arrest? ”

Inside the car parked on the side of the road, several detectives swallowed their saliva excitedly when they saw the "buyer" taking the suitcase.

After days of hard surveillance, substantial breakthroughs have been ushered in one after another, and the bubble bath is just around the corner when you get promoted to get rich!

"Wait...... Wait, you can't startle the snakes at this time, and then break them one by one after they are separated......"

It seems that he has seen the word "supplement" on his title removed, and Matsudaira is also a little excited, and he is nervous when he speaks.

"No, the target transaction was not separated, but transferred together ......"

In the sight of several detectives, the two people who "completed the transaction", "combined", got on the motorcycle and drove out of the parking lot.

"I smell the smell of big cases......"

"Could it be...... A few packs in the box just now are just samples, and now they are going to trade large goods? ”

Hearing Matsudaira's words, several detectives with slightly sweaty foreheads excitedly started the car and followed.

Following the two people on the locomotive, the group soon entered Ikebukuro Chinatown.

After parking the car in a proper manner, Higashino Yukihei and the suspicious "buyer" next to him entered the office building in a narrow alley in the pedestrian street with suitcases.

At the entrance of the office building, there were several men in suits and badges with green dragon totem badges smoking there.

When they saw Higashino Kohei coming, they bowed to him familiarly.

"Wait...... Isn't this the office of Nurakuquan in Ikebukuro? ”

Matsudaira, who was dressed in civilian clothes and followed behind on foot instead, only reacted at this moment.

He actually followed all the way to the base camp of Nuluo Fist?

"These guys are trading in their own nest in broad daylight?! I look down on people so much, I must catch you all this time! ”

Seeing that these violent groups were so arrogant, several detectives behind him were quite indignant.

"A few of you scattered to the surrounding office buildings to monitor, we are here waiting for the support of a large army, as long as we catch the evidence of their transactions, we will immediately storm and arrest on the spot!"

Faced with an "emergency", Matsudaira immediately made a decision.

If you can catch the on-site bulk transaction of Nuluo Fist on the spot, you will definitely not be able to run away from the promotion and salary increase that you have been looking forward to for many years.
