"Well, thank you."

Harukawa nodded slightly.

"I also prepared a few thank-you gifts earlier, maybe they can be useful to you, and please accept it with a smile from Shirakawa-kun."

"Later, Koji will lead you."

Emi Nishida obviously knew that solving this curse that had been circulating for hundreds of years would definitely not be solved in one fell swoop.

I won't rush Bai Chuanqing at this time.

"One more thing...... I hope Shirakawa-kun will pay attention. ”

"Huh?"

"Shirakawa-kun should have heard of it too, and recently ...... It's a very popular 'eight-foot adult', right? ”

“…… Well? ”

Bai Chuanqing's heart fluctuated slightly, but when she thought about it, she felt that this was also normal.

As such a large consortium, the Nishida family must have its own information channels.

In addition, the incident itself can be regarded as a rumor.

It's not surprising that Emi Nishida knew about this.

Harukawa Shirakawa was curious as to why Emi Nishida would mention this at this time.

[Could it be that this matter has been .....]

"According to the information we have received from the police, the impact of this case has been quite serious."

"The Metropolitan Police Department has issued a strict order to solve this case within this week!"

"At the very least, don't let the victims show up again."

Emi Nishida continued.

"Most likely, there will be ..... The whole of Tokyo is under martial law. ”

Bai Chuanqing's eyes froze.

He thought of the state of affairs of this incident, which seemed to be constantly expanding, but he did not expect that the situation of it seemed to be serious to a dangerous point!

The whole city is under martial law, this is not just talking!

It's for such an urban weirdo?

Before listening to Emi Nishida's words, he really had a hard time believing that such a situation would happen.

But now it seems that public opinion on the Internet has obviously been controlled.

Or...... There are many more cases that have long been concealed by the police.

This is necessary in order to maintain social stability.

Panic will only make the matter more difficult to deal with.

How many withered, smiling corpses are still hidden in the city?

That weird smile seemed to appear in front of Bai Chuanqing again.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuanqing felt a chill in his heart.

"About this incident, you ...... Anything else? ”

"I don't know much, but there's definitely a non-scientific element to it."

Emi Nishida's eyes were full of meaning.

Looking at Haruru Shirakawa deeply.

"So Shirakawa-kun, I suggest that you don't get involved, it's better not to get involved, or trust the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Harukawa Shirakawa understood what Emi Nishida meant.

Obviously, the current Emi Nishida sees Harushi Shirakawa as the last straw to lift their family's curse.

Of course, I didn't want Harukawa to encounter any danger.

- If she didn't think that Bai Chuanqing would refuse, she would have wanted to be accompanied by a few bodyguards to follow this young man at any time!

I don't want Bai Chuanqing to take the initiative to die.

Shirakawa Qing's head.

He himself is not a selfless person, he may be regarded as an "egoist", and he has no idea of taking the initiative to be a hero.

When he knew the danger of this incident, he naturally would not go forward to die recklessly.

Seeing that Shirakawa Harushi probably listened, Emi Nishida nodded slightly.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really worried, what superhero did this excellent teenager plan to emulate at the moment, and planned to solve such an incident by herself!

"Okay, Shirakawa-kun, let's go after eating at my house....."

Emi Nishida had a smile on her face again.

Dinner time passed quickly.

The quality of the chefs of the Nishida family, of course, is not to say.

It is a traditional Japanese food that is extremely exquisite.

The taste is superb.

It is...... The portion is not enough!

Inoue Ayane and Sosuke Miyazaki were curious about what Haruru Shirakawa and Emi Nishida were talking about in the room.

But since Shirakawa Harushi has no plans to reveal, they won't take the initiative to ask.

When Shirakawa Harushi came home, he saw what the thank you gift that Emi Nishida gave him was-

In addition to the 5 million yen check, it was a slender katana.

The blade is slender and sharp.

With an inexplicable temperament and cold light.

Obviously, the quality and quality of this sword far surpassed the previous one.

From a certain point of view, this is obviously a kind of favorite—she probably thinks that Shirakawa Harukawa really likes kendo.

It's just a pity that Bai Chuanqing is not a serious sword lover.

Also a false swordsman.

It seems that this sword can only eat ashes in his house.

The other thank-you gift was a blood-colored jade placed in a box.

But there are obvious cracks on the jade!

Harukawa Shirakawa didn't think it was a mistake on the part of the Nishida family, and in the box, there was a letter written by Emi Nishida herself.

It states that this jade has some kind of effect that can suppress the curse.

Although it was shattered when he rescued Koji Nishida last time, it may be able to bring some help or inspiration to Harukawa Shirakawa.

That's why I gave it to Harukawa Shirakawa as a thank you gift.

Harukawa played with the jade, and he could see that it was not something extraordinary.

But he didn't know where it was or how it should be used.

[Even if you can't study anything, let the "gluttony" swallow it! ] 】

——————————

A week later.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters.

Police Office.

"Recently, there have been a number of cases of corpses being abandoned in Tokyo's Bunkyo district, and the cause of death of the corpses is unknown, which poses a great threat to social order. Please do not panic, similar incidents have been effectively controlled, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is doing its best to investigate. ”

"In case of emergency or discovery, please call the police in time!"

On the computer screen in front of me, TV Tokyo is broadcasting news.

"The North Island Police made a promise: 'If you don't catch the real culprit within three days, you will take the blame and resign!' ”

The lit cigarette butt slowly burns its length between the calloused fingers.

"Hoo ————"

Smoke fills the air.

- This kind of behavior may already be regarded as a violation of discipline, but at this time, no one cares.

In the vast white expanse, the hairline is no longer just a middle-aged uncle who can be described as "dangerous".

His face was full of gloom and confusion.

"Arakawa Police Department, do the citizens really believe such a statement?"

Among the unpleasant smell of smoke, there is not only Arakawa Zero.

And three or four of his subordinates.

It's just that their expressions at this time are not much better than Arakawa Zero.

The hair is greasy, the eyes are red, I don't know if I stayed up late or was smoked.

They were one of the teams responsible for dealing with the "Eight Feet-Lord" incident, which had become so much that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had to drive all the forces at its disposal to investigate with all its might.

"Who knows, it's a while to be able to hide it."

Arakawa's voice was extremely hoarse.

"Hehe......"

He laughed quietly.

"Bell bell bell—"

A hurried bell rang, and Arakawa Zero picked up the phone.

"Yes, another case has been found in Taito District...... I understand. ”

Arakawa Zero stood up and said to his colleagues behind him.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Smoke still fills the room.

Inexplicably, they have a lonely temperament.

It's like a truth that can never be seen.

Arakawa Zero looked out the window at the sky, and the sunset in the distance was disappearing in the sky.

I sighed softly.

"God, it's going to be dark......"
