After returning to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in Sakuradamon, Haruka Tsuchigomon handed over the investigation report from the scene to the Twilight Police Department.

"Haruka, what do you think?" Twilight looked at the investigation report in his hand, wanting to hear the opinion of Haruka Tsuchigomon, who had been to the scene.

"Judging from the clues found at the scene, it can be determined that it is Bai Fan Po." Haruka Tsuchigomon remembered the tragic situation of the victim at the scene, and her stomach was still uncomfortable, but after restraining herself, she continued to explain to the Twilight Police: "The scene has detected the remnants of demonic energy, and white powder has been found on the residual skin of the victim's face. Considering the cause of death of the deceased who was stripped of the skin of his face, I can confirm my judgment. ”

"White Powder Woman? It's a legendary youkai again! The twilight police sighed helplessly, put down the investigation report in his hand, and pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. Since the establishment of the countermeasure team, there have been endless cases of supernatural phenomena, and various demons and monsters in legends have continued to emerge. The feathered fox that appeared in Kyoto, the Gu Bird who stole the baby before, the white powder woman who now peels the girl's face, and the twilight police don't know if there will be more legendary monsters in front of him in the future, but in any case, since there has been a homicide, as a policeman, the murderer must be brought to justice!

After strengthening his belief, Twilight Vigilant reinvigorated, looked at Haruka Tugomon, and asked her, "Haruka, tell me about the information of the White Powder Woman." ”

Hauka Tuyumen nodded, recalled the information she had read, and opened the notebook in her hand to introduce the information of the white powder woman to the twilight police officer: "White powder mother, white powder mother or white powder grandmother, one of the legendary monsters." It is said that Shiraho always appears in a snow-white kimono, with a bloodless face, a large umbrella on her head, a cane, and a sake jug in her hand. When a woman without makeup happens to meet a white powder woman on the road, she will use the makeup powder in the wine jug to paint the woman's face, which is a kind 'kind' monster who implements female beauty. ”

Speaking of this, Haruka Tugomon paused with some disgust, as if she was dissatisfied with the ancestor who used the word "kind" to describe the white powder woman in the family file: "Although it appears as an amiable old woman, it is actually a deception of beautiful girls with good looks, and tricks them into painting their faces with the white powder they make, saying that this powder can make the girls fairer and more beautiful, but the whole face of the girl who is smeared with this white powder will fall off, and the white powder woman will take the girl's face for her own use." ”

"Is that so? So based on the clues obtained from the on-site investigation, Haruka, did you judge that the murderer was a white powder woman? After listening to Hauka Dogomon's introduction, Twilight nodded vigilantly, and ninety percent of his heart believed in Hauka Dogomon's judgment, and the remaining suspicion was just a suspicion from the professional habits of an old policeman.

Faced with the problem of twilight vigilance, Haruka Tsuchiomondo did not hesitate, but strengthened her judgment.

For Haruka Tsuchigomon, the deputy head of the Intelligence Division, the Twilight Police is undoubtedly trusting. Although Haruka Tsuchigomon is still a young girl, as a descendant of the great onmyoji Abe Harumi and a descendant of the Tsuchigomon family, after joining the countermeasure room, her ability and familiarity with demons have won the recognition and trust of the countermeasure room from the twilight police to the ordinary police officers.

"What are you going to do with Haruka?" Out of the idea of cultivating young people, Twilight looked at Haruka Tumimon and asked her thoughts: "How are you going to arrest this white powder woman who peels the girl's face?" ”

At present, the countermeasures room does not have any particularly effective means for such demons, so it can only investigate through clues like traditional police arrest criminals, and then search for the existence of these demons. Although there is also the option of going to the Taisha here to ask for the help of a thousand nights, but for the Twilight Police, this is the last option that will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

"I'm going to ask somebody." Haruka Tsuchigomon flipped through the notebook in her hand and said an answer that was beyond the surprise of the Twilight Police.

Twilight looked at Tuyumen Haruka, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Tuyumen Haruka with great interest: "Find someone to ask, who are you going to ask Haruka?" Mr. Chiba? ”

"There's no need to bother Mr. Chiba about this kind of thing." Haruka Tsuchigomon shook her head: "Some people know more about small things like the whereabouts of a certain demon than Mr. Chiba. ”

"Oh? Can anyone know more about demons than Mr. Chiba? For Haruka's answer, Twilight was slightly surprised.

"Police, do you remember last year's Halloween night walk in the Sumida River?" Haruka Tsuchigomon didn't answer Twilight's question directly, but instead asked him if he remembered what happened on Halloween last year.

"You mean the youkai organization that calls itself the 'Nine-Tails'?" After being reminded by Haruka Dogomon, Twilight Vigilant also remembered this youkai organization that had a great impact on the night of Halloween last year. Although there was no disturbance at the time, many people witnessed the Hyakki night walk on the Sumida River, which caused a great repercussions, added a lot of fame to the Sumida River, and even caused a surge in the number of tourists visiting the Sumida River.

Because this youkai organization was in the room to inform the Hyaki Night Walk at that time, the Twilight Vigilant was also very impressed by this, so he asked Hauka Dogomon, "This youkai organization seems to have a connection with Mr. Chiba, Haruka, are you going to ask them about the situation?" ”

"Yes, Police." Haruka Tsuchigomon nodded: "This self-proclaimed 'Nine-Tails' youkai organization is the main youkai force that currently occupies Tokyo, but because of Mr. Chiba, they don't seem to harass ordinary humans. And according to the custom of the yokai, after the 'Nine-Tails' completed the Hyakki Night Walk in Sumida River, Tokyo has been their sphere of influence by default. This 'Nine-Tails' obviously knows more about the big and small monsters that live in Tokyo than Mr. Chiba, and valuable information should be available from them. ”

"According to Haruka, if you say so, this 'Nine-Tails Group' should indeed have clues about this case in their hands, but how do you get clues from them?" Regarding Hauka Dogomon's idea, Twilight Inspector praised it and raised doubts at the same time. On the one hand, this is to understand Haruka Dogomon's plan, and on the other hand, it is also to point out her shortcomings when Hauka Dogomon does not take this into account.

"Please rest assured that I have investigated the information of the 'Nine-Tails Group', and they reported it in our countermeasures room when they were doing a night walk on Halloween last year." Regarding the suspicion of the twilight guard, Haruka Tsuchigomon is obviously also prepared: "Judging from their acting style, the 'Nine-Tails' is a youkai organization that is biased towards humans and has a relatively gentle style, and they have a certain respect for our countermeasure room. So I don't think there's a problem with asking them for some information. ”

"Since Haruka is so confident, then you can go with Sato." Seeing that Haruka Doomon was well thought out, Twilight approved her actions: "This kid Sato has been hiding in the office lately, and he has become indifferent to everything except around his idols. If he continues like this, heisei is going to become a ruined house, so you can take him on a mission to correct his behavior. ”

"Yes, Vigilant."

——————————————————

In front of Nanami Hashimoto, a soldier in a black military uniform was holding a rifle that had just been fired, rushing towards Nanami Hashimoto, while Nanami Hashimoto wearing armor was holding a naginata, and after flashing the bullet, he firmly stopped in front of the soldier and slashed at him.

The soldier in the black military uniform hurriedly raised the rifle in his hand to block the blade of the nagina knife in Hashimoto's hand, but was deflected by Hashimoto Nanami's hand, and the blade cut diagonally down the body of the rifle, slashing from his shoulder to his chest. Nana Hashimoto jerked the naginata in his hand, and the sharp blade of the naginata pierced the soldier's chest.

Just when Nanami Hashimoto pulled out his naginata and turned to look at Haruka Ayase behind him, Haruka Ayase raised the rifle in his hand and aimed at Nanami Hashimoto, and then pulled the trigger decisively at Nanami Hashimoto who was looking at her with wide eyes.

However, it was not Nanami Hashimoto who fell, and behind her, another soldier with a rifle and preparing to shoot fell to the ground weakly.

Nana Hashimoto didn't hear the sound behind her, looked at the soldier who fell to the ground, and then looked at Haruka Ayase gratefully. Haruka Ayase nodded to Nana Hashimoto, and the two picked up the rifles on the ground and scavenged the dead soldier before leaving together.

"Cards!" Director Sue Yongchuang, who was looking at the monitor, shouted with satisfaction and ended the filming of this scene. Because of the unique shooting mode of Japanese TV dramas, a TV series is not directed by one director, but usually by multiple directors who direct different dramas, and the screenwriter coordinates the overall situation. The director who directed the filming of this episode of "Yae no Sakura" has been replaced by the previous director Taku Kato to director Sou Suenaga.

Hearing the director shouting "card", Nana Hashimoto stopped and relaxed. However, this relaxation, Nana Hashimoto suddenly felt a pain in her waist, so that she had to bend down with her right hand to support the naginata, and her left hand covered her lower back.

Haruka Ayase looked at Nanami Hashimoto bending down, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Nanamin, what's wrong with you?" Is your waist uncomfortable? ”

The staff on the side saw the appearance of Nanami Hashimoto and hurriedly gathered around, and the two male staff members hurriedly took the naginata and rifle in Nanami Hashimoto's hand, and helped her to the chair next to her and sat down.

"Nanamin, are you alright?" Haruka Ayase stood aside, looking at Nanami Hashimoto who was frowning and enduring the pain, and was concerned about Nanami Hashimoto's condition.

Nana Hashimoto shook her head with some difficulty, and squeezed out a few words from between her closed teeth: "I'm fine, it's just that I used a little bit of force just now, and I suffered a back injury, so it's good to take a rest." ”

"You're all like this, it's okay anywhere!" Haruka Ayase looked at the stubborn Nanami Hashimoto, and somewhat blamed the girl in front of him: "This scene has been filmed, you take a rest first, I'll go and tell the director, you go back to the hotel to rest today." With that, Haruka Ayase turned around and wanted to go to the director Sueyong to explain the situation, so that Nana Hashimoto could not rest.

However, Nana Hashimoto took Haruka Ayase's hand and said with some difficulty: "Sister Ayase, I'm fine, just take a rest." I can't delay everyone's work because I'm alone. ”

"But how do you continue to shoot like this?" Haruka Ayase looked at the girl in front of her with some helplessness, Haruka Ayase undoubtedly recognized Nanami Hashimoto's professionalism in insisting on shooting, but she was worried about Nanami Hashimoto's body: "Senior Fukada handed you over to me to take care of, if she knew that you were like this and still stayed on the scene to shoot, she would have to say me." ”

Just when Nana Hashimoto raised his head to say something, director Suenaga and another actor who was also involved in the filming, Yukiya Kitamura, walked over together, and looked at Nanami Hashimoto who was sitting in a chair with a pale face and a frown.

"Hashimoto-san, what's wrong? Did you just hurt something? Kitamura Yukiya looked at Nana Hashimoto's uncomfortable appearance and asked with concern. During the filming during this time, the members of the crew all had a good impression of Nanami Hashimoto, a young and beautiful girl who was full of professionalism during the filming process.

"Nana Min, she ......" Haruka Ayase was about to speak, but Nana Hashimoto pinched her arm and stood up tremblingly. Nana Hashimoto, who was pale, stood up straight and said to director Sue Yongchuang: "Director, I'm fine, it's just an old injury on my waist, just take a rest." Keep shooting, no problem. ”

Looking at Nanami Hashimoto, whose face was pale and her speech was a little intermittent, Sue Yongchuang shook his head: "Do I look like such an unkind person?" Hashimoto-san, you're all like this, so let's go back and rest first. The main scenes have been filmed tonight, and Hashimoto-san, you don't have many scenes, so it's no problem to make up the filming when you're fine. ”

"But isn't this a waste of time? Because I'm alone......"

Nana Hashimoto didn't want to say something, but Kitamura Yuya on the side persuaded her: "Hashimoto-san, you better be obedient and go back to rest." In case your body collapses, this scene can't be filmed. Besides, if you are tired, your idols will be scorched. ”

Sue Yongchuang on the side also echoed: "Yes, Hashimoto-san, you have to think about it for us!" It's terrible to be hit by an idol or something. ”

Hearing that director Suenaga and Kitamura Yukiya said this, Nana Hashimoto glanced at Haruka Ayase, and seeing that she also had an expression of approval, she finally nodded and gave up the idea of insisting on shooting.
