The sun sinks and the moon rises, and the stars hang high.

It was late at night.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sat at a desk, his expression calm, his eyes deep, his hands folded on the table, and a pair of glittering "silver bracelets" at his wrists - he was cuffed.

In front of him was an enticing, good-smelling bento - a side dish for teriyaki chicken cutlets, and although Japanese chicken was not valuable, it was much better than his usual bento, but he never moved his chopsticks.

He's seen too much blood today, and he's a little out of appetite.

He is now located in the Kasumigaseki Nimachime in Chiyoda-ku, in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building, which is commonly known as the "Sakurada Gate".

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the police department in charge of public security in Tokyo, and it has more than 40,000 police officers - this is a huge number, and the ratio of residents to police in Tokyo is 300 to one, and Tokyo is the safest city in Japan.

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi's face was calm, different thoughts were rapidly turning in his heart.

He shouldn't have come here.

There are 102 police stations in Tokyo, and there are more than 800 public security stations, so even if what happened in Yokota's house is characterized as a vicious case, he will be invited to the police station in Minato Ward for tea at most, how could he directly alarm Sakurada Gate and be sent to the Metropolitan Police Department's main store?

There is only one answer.

It's that the police must know something - they know that this case is out of the ordinary people's level, and the local police station can't handle it.

This is the most plausible explanation that Kiyoshi Uesugi can come up with.

After he was sent in, he was kept hanging here, during which a young policeman came in and gave him a lunch box and a glass of water, and asked him to wait for a while, and someone would make a note for him later, with a very good attitude and a thorough manner, anyway, Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't find anything wrong.

Kyoko Nohara was taken away by a gentle-looking female police officer, and it is estimated that she will be questioned separately.

Naturally, he had no opinion, in fact, he didn't feel anything to panic in his heart.

What happened in Yokota's house, from the perspective of a third party, he is also a victim, Yokota Ryoko was chopped into pieces by Yokotano himself, all the evidence at the scene can prove this, Yokotano himself can't escape the charge of a murderer, and although he fought to the death with Yokotano, he definitely didn't leave any fatal injuries on his body.

Yokodano was not hacked to death by him, he only left a knife in Yokodano's back, and slashed him in the chest with a wooden knife, which did not lead to death.

The real cause of Yokotano's death was because the mirage was cut by the "heart slash", stripped of the body, and lost the source of strength, resulting in the collapse of the body's functions, even if the forensic doctors of those police officers were professional, it was impossible to blame Uesugi Kiyoshi for this cause of death.

The only thing that is a little tricky is that the bone chopping knife that was pinched into a twist may have Uesugi Kiyoshi's fingerprints on it, but this is also very easy to explain, Yokota Ryoko's death time and Uesugi Kiyoshi's arrival at the scene are not at all right, he can't be inexplicably responsible for Yokotano, he is sure of this.

Moreover, while waiting for the police to come, Uesugi Kiyoshi had repeatedly instructed Nohara Kyoko several times, and confessed to her - he didn't teach Nohara Kyoko to lie, this little white rabbit seems to be the type who can't lie, he just asked Nohara Kyoko to tell the police the truth about the strange things in Yokotano, and then retold today's events as it was.

Then, in the eyes of the police, Uesugi Kiyoshi's image is probably that of an ordinary male high school student who sent his classmates home, with good kendo skills, was attacked by Yokotano who had turned into a monster in Yokota's house, and fought with him and narrowly won.

After getting out of danger, he immediately called the police, not only was he guilty, but he even had merit, which was completely worthy of the Metropolitan Police Department to give him a certificate of reward for righteousness and bravery, and if he was lucky, he could even mix some bounty, this is not a joke, there is a precedent for this kind of thing.

As for how he was able to beat the monster and how Yokotano died, he had already typed the draft, as long as the police came to interrogate him, he was sure to fool the past, he was not a simple little girl like Nohara Apricot.

The Japanese police do not dare to torture the suspect, and even the attitude is not too harsh, if it is spread out, it will be written by the media, and the people will point their noses at the nose, and their careers may be ruined, not to mention that Uesugi Kiyoshi is still a minor, even if he kills someone, it is impossible to be sentenced to a heavy sentence -- if he is under the age of 14, it is estimated that he will be given a record of the scene and let him go back, and Japanese law is outrageously lenient towards minors.

In general, Uesugi Kiyoshi has no fear, and he is already thinking about the changes in Yokodano and the "extraordinary department" of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and what is the strength.

Outside the door of the interrogation room where Uesugi Kiyoshi was, by the window of the corridor, there was an emaciated figure.

Trench coat, silk scarf, black top hat, black jade cane.

It was that "colleague" of Yuichi Kudo.

The black top hat was leaning against the wall at this time, playing with the black jade cane, staring at the door of the interrogation room with some thoughtful eyes.

Before, he was just about to go up to the Yokota Mansion to see the situation, but when he stepped into the door of the apartment building, he felt a sudden burst of extraordinary power from the upper floor, and at the same time, there was a chilling momentum like a sword unsheathed.

This feeling was fleeting, and in less than three seconds, he clearly felt Yokodano's extraordinary ability to react... It's gone.

His eyes were stunned at the time—field agents had surveyed the strength of Yokodano's supernatural abilities, and finally determined that the danger level of the incident was "regional".

In other words, Yokotano has the power to stir up a district in Tokyo without the hindrance of supernatural forces.

That's why he sent people to evacuate the crowd and prevent greater casualties, which is his job.

Regional-level events, it's not that the top hat can't handle it - it's not difficult, but it can kill a regional-level ghost god in three seconds... He asked himself if he couldn't do it.

Even if his abilities are not known for their "explosiveness", this is a little scary... That's a sixteen-year-old boy!

Just when he was thinking about whether to go up and meet Uesugi Kiyoshi directly, and threw an olive branch, he received a call from Yuichi Kudo, the "great detective" told him that Uesugi Kiyoshi had called the police, and the police would rush to the scene quickly.

Hung up the phone, the black top hat groaned for a moment, but he was not in a hurry, because of the relationship between Kudo Yuichi, their organization has a pivotal voice in the police system, and when they entered the Sakurada Gate, many things became simpler.

He simply quit the apartment building, drove directly to Sakurada Gate and bumped into Yuichi Kudo, and made a few requests by the way.

And then he waited here.

As the black top hat pondered, the crisp footsteps of leather boots hitting the ground could be heard not far away, and he glanced at it, a somewhat false smile on the corner of his mouth.

Kudo Yuichi squinted, changed into his regular clothes, stepped on small leather shoes, and walked over without hurrying.

He stopped beside the top hat, shoved a document into the top hat's hand with a cold face, and whispered.

"This is the last time... Don't bother me about this kind of thing in the future! ”

"With this, you are qualified to interrogate suspects, and no one can find fault with you... You still have a brain, you know that there are people in the Sakurada Gate who don't deal with us, and you can find a way to do things according to the rules and regulations. ”

"Be polite to Qing! If you two are right, I won't help you! ”

After speaking, Yuichi Kudo snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Being treated coldly, the black top hat was not angry at all, he shrugged his shoulders, nodded, looked at the documents in his hand, and with a gentle smile, pushed open the door of the interrogation room.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's clothes are stained with dried blood, his face is cold, and his eyes are a little gloomy because he has just killed a ghost, so at first glance, he looks a bit like a perverted murderer in a movie.

The black top hat has a decent smile and a polite demeanor, but he looks like a traditional Western aristocrat.

The two looked at each other for three seconds.

Then, the black top hat's smile became even brighter.

He walked quickly to the interrogation table and sat down, shaking the document in his hand that was still not hot in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Uesugi-kun... Right? Good evening. ”

"You can call me the Akutagawa Police Department, and I'll ask you a few questions."

Uesugi Kiyoshi squinted, his attention drawn to the name on the ID card from the top hat.

He slowly repeated the name in his mind.

“...”

"Ryunosuke Akutagawa?"
