Qingze politely declined and then turned and left.
The female shop assistant raised her hand, her lips slightly parted, but she still didn't utter a sound to persuade her to stay.
She sighed silently to herself. Perhaps this was what they meant by being destined to meet but not to be together.
Just then, my cell phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw it was a call from her mother, so she casually pressed the answer button: "Hello, Mom, there's..."
Before she could finish speaking, her mother's suppressed sobs came through the receiver.
Qingze heard the crying clearly as well.
With heightened senses, even from a distance, one can detect subtle sounds coming from the other end of the phone.
He slowed his pace slightly.
"Mom, what happened?"
"Police from the Metropolitan Police Department suddenly showed up at the door and took your father away, saying he... saying he has a connection with that fox. What... what should I do?"
On the other end of the phone, the woman's voice was filled with helplessness and panic.
Upon hearing this answer, Qingze was momentarily taken aback.
Is it related to foxes?
How come I don't know there's such a person?
Then, a chilling thought flashed through his mind.
Kill innocent people and claim credit for them.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.
He didn't care that the Metropolitan Police Department was investigating him, since they wouldn't find anything out anyway.
But since the other party resorted to such dirty and despicable means, implicating innocent people, he had no choice but to intervene.
Qingze immediately quickened his pace and left the still bustling shopping street.
With the help of the sparrow's aerial view, he quickly found a deserted street.
The streetlights cast the shadows of the utility poles obliquely onto the mottled wall.
He stood quietly in the shadows as five sparrows swooped down from the night sky and landed around him.
At the same time, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly distorted, and a dark purple pentagram magic circle silently lit up.
The next instant, a thick, dark shadow, as thick as liquid asphalt, suddenly burst out of the magic circle. As if it had a life of its own, it instantly enveloped and devoured Qingze and the five sparrows, then sank into the shadows on the ground and disappeared without a trace.
He leaped repeatedly in the shadows, quickly sneaking to a nearby station, disappearing into the shadows of a tram, and traveling with it towards Chiyoda Ward in the heart of Tokyo.
……
Xiaguan.
The Metropolitan Police Department building stands like a silent giant against the dark blue night sky, its cold exterior reflecting the neon lights of the city.
Qingze leaped silently in the shadows within the building.
He didn't know which floor or room the innocent man had been taken to, so he could only start from the bottom of the building and search upwards floor by floor, conducting a thorough search.
He found the person who resembled his target in the western area of the third floor.
He lurked in the shadows of the table, observing it.
This is a standard interrogation room.
The bright white light poured down from the ceiling without reservation. A middle-aged man, who looked to be in his early forties, was forcibly held down by two burly police officers and forced to kneel on the cold floor.
His hair was wet, with water droplets constantly dripping from the ends, and his face was also covered in water stains.
In front of him was a plastic bucket.
Three men who looked to be in their twenties or thirties stood around the interrogation table, two of them wearing bright red tags on their heads.
Dark Knight
Another person was sitting in a chair.
From Qingze's current perspective, he couldn't see the person's face, but he could hear the unhurried, cat-and-mouse-like sound.
"I even used water torture, but you still haven't shown any sign of backing down. You really are a tough nut to crack."
"Superintendent Ueno, you've misunderstood. I'm not a fox at all! And I don't know any foxes!"
Tetsuro Hirano's voice trembled slightly with fear.
He is an eighth-dan kendo practitioner, but his kendo skills are nowhere near those of Sasaki Mine.
"I am truly innocent."
Upon hearing this, Ueno Yuuma gave a forced smile and ordered, "Fukui, you stay here and guard him."
They blasted high-decibel noise incessantly in his ears, forbidding him to close his eyes all night, until he admitted he was a fox.
"Inspector General Ueno, isn't this a bit...?"
A hint of hesitation and reluctance flashed across the young policeman's face when his name was called.
But Ueno Yuuma's icy, knife-like gaze immediately swept over him, making him tremble. He quickly lowered his head and replied, "...Yes! Understood!"
Yuuma Ueno nodded slightly and said, "Iguchi, Ando, let's go and rest first."
After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the interrogation room first.
Aozawa leaped silently, disappearing into the shadow beneath Ueno Yuuma's feet.
It was at this moment that he noticed that Yuuma Ueno also had a bright red tag on his head.
【Dark Knight Commander】.
Chapter 65 Ueno's "Brilliant Plan"
Yuma Ueno strode out of the Metropolitan Police Department building and into the parking lot.
Masakyu Iguchi very treads forward and eagerly opens the back door of the luxury car for him.
Yuma Ueno bent down and sat down, comfortably leaning back in the soft leather seat.
Masakyu Iguchi and Taito Ando quickly took the driver's and passenger's seats, leaving the spacious rear seats entirely to him.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Taito Ando immediately turned on the car stereo and played Yuma Ueno's favorite soothing jazz piece.
"Superintendent Ueno," Masakyu Iguchi said, fastening his seatbelt and glancing at Ueno in the rearview mirror with a hint of obsequiousness and expectation on his face, "could you perhaps let me handle Hirano's wife and daughter for now?"
He felt a surge of desire when he thought of Hirano's wife's still-charming figure and his daughter's youthful beauty.
If it could be done at the same time...
Yuzuru Ueno knew his old subordinate all too well; he was quite capable, but he just couldn't control his own desires.
He snapped at them impatiently, "No, they must disappear to avoid punishment. Don't cause any trouble or unnecessary complications!"
“Yes, Iguchi,” Ando Taito immediately chimed in, flattering Ueno in his words, “We can only ensure that nothing goes wrong if we act strictly according to Superintendent Ueno’s instructions.”
He's always right!
Yuuma Ueno knew this guy was flattering him, but the flattery did make him feel quite comfortable.
He firmly believed that he was exceptionally capable, far superior to those mediocre people.
Pressure was put on him from above, demanding that he solve the "Fox" case that had caused a great stir in the city as soon as possible.
After studying the relevant files, he realized that it was impossible to catch that elusive "fox" in a short period of time.
He had to "create" a fox.
By announcing the successful cracking of the "fox" case through official channels, publicly bringing the "confessing" criminals to justice, and then using the media resources under their control to guide public opinion, they can easily turn the "real fox" into a "fake fox."
If "Fox" commits another crime in the future, he can easily attribute it all to being a "copycat".
Then, he can make a high-profile arrest of a few more "copycat criminals," which will be another impressive achievement!
Despite being a member of the elite group, he already had a smooth path to promotion.
But to go further and climb to the position of Superintendent General of Police, one needs some "hardcore" qualifications that are enough to impress political bigwigs and convince them that one is indeed a talent capable of great things.
The "Fox" case was undoubtedly an excellent "political achievement project".
"All right……"
Masakyu Iguchi sighed with regret and started the car.
Yuma Ueno closed his eyes, immersing himself in the melodious jazz music. His fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the car window to the beat, as if he could already see his bright future soaring to new heights thanks to this case.
……
Hanzo Apartment, 1-chome, Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku.
The car smoothly drove into the underground parking garage of the luxury apartment building and parked in its designated spot.
Taito Ando immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. He jogged around to the back seat and respectfully opened the car door for Yuma Ueno.
Yuma Ueno straightened his collar and stepped out of the car with a composed demeanor.
Masahiro Iguchi also got out of the car, but did not return the car keys to Ueno.
During the special period of handling the "Fox" case, they were required to provide 24-hour close protection for Yuuma Ueno.
Of course, Ueno Yushin didn't believe deep down that the cowardly guy would actually dare to lay a hand on a high-ranking police officer like himself.
But there's always a chance of something going wrong.
If the "fox" finds out that he has found a "scapegoat" to cut off his path to "fame", he might take desperate measures.
Without proper preparation, one is bound to suffer an unexpected setback.
But if you're prepared, things will be completely different.
He subconsciously touched the Mk25 pistol equipped with armor-piercing rounds at his waist.
When the time comes, he will use this thing to make that guy who is still stuck in the era of cold weapons understand what it means for times to change!
Japanese Iaido is utterly worthless dregs compared to American Iaido.
