The Tokyo Police Journey Begins with the Ability to See Evil Thoughts

Chapter 13 Overthinking is More Troublesome

Muheyou didn't return to the police station until around 6:30 pm.

She initially thought it was just a simple theft case, requiring only information entry and then assigning the task of finding the thief to the shopkeeper. However, things turned out to be more complicated than she expected. After some investigation, she discovered that it was an employee who had stolen the goods from the store...

Of course, this kind of case wasn't a big deal for Muheyou, it just took her a lot of time.

I was originally planning to make an appointment with Kamiya-kun today, and have a good chat after get off work.

Japanese police use a three-shift system, but police inspectors are the "main force in handling cases at the grassroots level," and their overtime frequency is much higher than that of ordinary police officers. So, unless there are special circumstances, they generally have to wait until at least 7 p.m. to leave.

So even though it's already 6:30, it's not actually that late.

As long as there aren't any more unexpected cases, I should be able to meet up with Kamiya-kun.

Thinking this, Muheyou carried the documents back to the office area, greeted several colleagues, quickly finished writing today's case report and handed it to her superior, finally arriving at Kamiya Gen's workstation just before seven o'clock.

Noticing that the other person was lost in thought and looked troubled, Muheyou asked in a low voice:

"Kamiya-kun, what's wrong? You seem quite unhappy. Is there trouble at work?"

"No……"

Kamiya Gen responded subconsciously, then turned to look and saw that it was Muhe You, whose black lines on her forehead were noticeably darker.

He couldn't refuse Saionji Chikawa, given the vast difference in their positions; he couldn't keep declining. He was considering how to escape this predicament.

And now, before the previous problem has been resolved, another difficulty has already arisen.

Kamiya Gen really didn't want to continue talking to Kiha Yu about topics like "future" and "dreams," because he didn't really have such lofty goals.

Let me guess.

Muheyou, ever the friendly type, pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Have you been too idle these past few days? No major cases have happened, so you're feeling restless?"

Her thought process has always been quite peculiar.

Kamiya Gen shook his head: "I haven't thought that way. It would be best if there were no cases at all for a whole year."

"That's true. No cases means society is stable enough..." Muheyou was about to start talking about her favorite topic again.

Kamiya Gen quickly waved his hand to interrupt: "Inspector Kiha, if you're not busy, I am. Besides, look at all these people in the office. If others see us sitting together like this, they'll inevitably gossip."

"What's wrong with that?"

Muhe You didn't care about any of that. Besides, she had only come to sit down during her work hours, and Kamiya Gen couldn't make excuses to leave like before.

She glanced around the office and said in a low voice, "We're both young and at the same level. It would be strange if we didn't chat often."

"You didn't understand what I meant..."

Kamiya Gen had long known how slow-witted she was.

"What...?"

Mu Heyou belatedly realized what was happening, a slight blush spreading across her fair face. She raised her hands and shook them, saying...

"I see... I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight just now, but as long as there's nothing wrong between us, it's okay if we're misunderstood, right?"

As she spoke, she frowned, looked up at Kamiya Gen's chin, and continued:

"Is Kamiya-kun worried about being misunderstood?"

"..."

That's just how Gen Kamiya is; he stops talking when faced with difficult questions.

"Is there or not?" Muheyou persisted.

"No..." Kamiya Gen could only tell the truth.

"That's good."

She smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth.

The reflected light always made Kamiya Gen feel a little dazzled.

"Oh, by the way, if there aren't any emergency calls later, I'd like to invite Kamiya-kun for a coffee. Let's go to the central street area; I saw a newly opened one when I was on duty today..."

"I might not be able to go later."

At this point, Kamiya Gen was a little worried, as he still didn't know how to refuse Saionji Chikawa.

"Could it be because of what happened last time? I promise I won't bring up those topics again."

Muheyou quickly expressed her opinion.

She genuinely wanted to be a good partner with Kamiya Gen, after all, he was very capable and could find clues much faster than her in solving cases.

In Muheyou's view, Kamiya-kun is an indispensable helper in realizing her great ideals.

After I have brought peace to this country, I will definitely erect a statue in his honor so that future generations will remember his name.

Of course, you have to be in front.

However, after these days of reflection, Muheyou has come to understand a principle.

Some things cannot be rushed.

If we take it slow, we'll be able to convince Kamiya-kun sooner or later.

Kamiya Gen had no idea what she was thinking; after all, the mind of a god was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. He said, "No, it's not that. The superintendent said he needs to see me later..."

Muheyou curled her lips. She already disliked that woman, but she didn't expect that the other woman would want to call Kamiya-kun over after get off work. She wondered what kind of bad thing the other woman was up to behind the scenes.

"I mean... was Kamiya-kun actually coerced into doing anything by her?" Yuzu asked.

Kamiya Gen shook his head: "Really not. Be careful not to speak too loudly and let others hear you. A police inspector speaking ill of the superintendent in the hall, you'll definitely get what's coming to you."

"I'm not afraid of any of that."

Muheyou raised her little fist and waved it in the air, then suddenly, taking advantage of Kamiya Gen's inattention, grabbed his arm.

"It's seven o'clock, let's go."

"etc……"

She pulled Kamiya Gen up, and in the eyes of all their colleagues, the two walked out of the office area.

"If the police chief comes down and everyone knows I was the one who took you away, then it's my business if she punishes me."

Muheyou, full of responsibility, patted her chest and said.

Kamiya Gen subconsciously glanced at her other hand, thinking that it must have been dented.

However, through this experience, he came to understand some things.

What's the point of thinking about all that? I'd rather go have coffee with that silly goose than be forced to stay by the superintendent.

……

The two walked out of the police station, and Muheyou took out two sets of winter clothes from the car, as if she had prepared them in advance.

"I wore Kamiya-kun's outfit last time, but I felt it wasn't warm enough, so I bought two sets. As for yours... I don't know if it will fit, try it on."

Muheyou handed him one of the winter outfits.

It was already freezing outside, and Kamiya Gen was thinking of going back to get some clothes, but after seeing this scene, he decided to take them from the other person's hands after some thought.

"Thank you then... How much?"

"Isn't it a bit too formal for Kamiya-kun to say that?"

Muheyou retorted, a displeased expression appearing on her small face.

She believed she knew everything about Kamiya Gen.

He was an orphan from a young age and his family was in terrible shape, otherwise he wouldn't have been so short of money.

If you can't control him by relying on things like "ideals".

Let's get practical.

I'll buy him two more sets when my living expenses arrive next month.

If things continue like this, she is convinced that she can warm up not only a person, but even a stone!
