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

Chapter 22: The Meeting at the Detention Center and the Disposal of the Beast

Several days later, in the detention center's visiting room.

Kamiya Gen and Suzuki Shizue sat facing each other, the latter's face ashen.

"Inspector Kamiya... why have you come to see me? I'll be in court in a few days..."

"Ms. Suzuki, why can't I see you?"

Kamiya Gen said with difficulty. He couldn't speak loudly. If he exerted any force, the wound on his waist would send out a sharp pain, causing his internal organs to tighten.

That's right, Suzuki Shizue failed to kill Takahashi Toru that day.

The blood at the entrance of the police station was from Kamiya Genryu.

The moment Suzuki Shizue broke free from the obstruction and charged at Takahashi Toru with her knife, Kamiya Gen clearly saw the thick black aura swirling around her head, mixed with a startling hint of dark red.

If she couldn't kill Takahashi in front of everyone, she decided to commit suicide in front of the police station—a poor mother who didn't understand the law, thinking that this would allow the case to continue to be investigated.

In just a few seconds, Kamiya Gen considered many things.

We can't let her commit suicide. Even if Suzuki Shizue dies in front of the police station, it won't have any impact on Takahashi Toru.

We can't let her kill Takahashi Toru like that—otherwise she'd go to jail.

Considering his next steps, Kamiya Gen chose to block the attack.

"As a police officer, you shed blood for that kind of scum, I don't understand..."

Suzuki Shizue spoke, her tone utterly indifferent to her future, "I will plead guilty, I'm willing to serve a few years in jail, but once I get out, I will definitely go back..."

Kamiya Gen raised his index finger, making a shushing gesture to indicate that there was a surveillance camera next to her.

"How..."

"Who said you'd go to jail?"

Kamiya Gen suddenly smiled, a hint of something unfathomable in his eyes.

"Even if this case is about to be forcibly tried by the court, I can guarantee that it will only result in a suspended sentence."

"Why?" Suzuki Shizue couldn't understand.

"It's a good thing I took that knife from you; I haven't lost my ability to move yet. As for Takahashi..."

Kamiya Gen looked at the monitor again, indicating that he couldn't say anything more.

"alright……"

Kamiya Gen supported himself on the table to stand up and slowly walked outside.

"We can talk about many things after the court hearing."

……

After greeting the guards, Kamiya Gen walked out of the detention center.

When Muheyou saw him, she quickly ran over and helped him up.

"Kamiya-kun... I really don't understand why you insist on seeing Ms. Suzuki..."

There are many things she doesn't understand.

From Suzuki Shizue's sudden murder a few days ago, to Kamiya Gen standing in front of Takahashi Toru, and now he has to come to the detention center despite his illness.

"It's alright. Inspector Kiha will take care of any extra work I do during my vacation. Don't worry about me," Kamiya Gen waved his hand.

"Okay, I understand."

Muheyou nodded in agreement.

As the two walked out of the detention center, Kamiya Gen told her to go back to work at the police station, saying that he wanted to travel around.

Muheyou shook her head: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't we go first..."

"This is working hours. You've already violated the rules by leaving your post to come to the detention center with me. Do you want to waste more time on something like eating?" Kamiya Gen asked.

Hearing this, Muheyou's mood worsened, and she sighed:

"I was already free anyway... and besides, there's the Takahashi case..."

Even without authorization, she is still investigating Takahashi Toru.

However, there is absolutely no evidence, and the person left Shibuya this morning, which may make the investigation even more difficult.

"Don't get involved in Takahashi's case anymore; it's not something you can handle," Kamiya Gen said.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean you can ignore it. No matter how long it takes, I will definitely catch him, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth..."

—You may not have that chance.

While thinking this, Kamiya Gen said aloud:

"I don't want to eat, you go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, if you need anything, feel free to contact me through that channel." Having confirmed that Kamiya Gen was really leaving, Kiha Yu could only release him and speak.

"I understand, you can go back now."

After sending Muheyou away, Kamiya Gen also turned and left.

However, he didn't actually wander around as he had just said; instead, he had his own direction.

The steps are slow, but you always manage to reach your destination—Hatagaya South in Shibuya Ward.

Development here has been extremely slow, and even now many farmhouses remain, with a population density far lower than other areas of Shibuya.

Kamiya Gen meandered left and right, finally stopping in front of a dilapidated house.

Weeds grew wildly around the house, almost submerging the door frame. The exterior walls were faded to light gray earthen walls, mixed with some black mold spots. The edges were frayed from being soaked by rainwater. The chains at the door were covered in rust, giving the impression of a desolate place that had been neglected for years.

This place is almost blending into the remote environment, making it difficult for the already sparse number of passersby to notice it.

To be honest, if we hadn't started taking action half a month in advance, Kamitani Gen really wouldn't have been able to find such a suitable location in such a short time.

He went around to the side, took a key out of his pocket, and then pushed open the wooden door.

"Waaaaah—"

Terrified sobs suddenly came from inside the room.

"Don't worry, I've forged the information that you left Shibuya. Nobody knows you're still here." Kamiya Gen closed the door behind him, completely cutting off the outside light, and said to Takahashi Toru.

The latter is almost a completely different person now compared to a few days ago.

His hair was a messy, tangled mess, covered in dirt and dried sweat, with a few greasy strands sticking to his forehead, obscuring most of his sunken eye sockets.

His cheeks were severely sunken, his stubble was growing wildly, and his lips were dry, cracked, and bleeding, which were tightly plugged with strips of cloth.

His clothes were stained with blood so much that their original color was no longer visible, and the collar and cuffs were worn and frayed, clinging tightly to his emaciated body.

Upon seeing Kamiya Gen arrive, he trembled uncontrollably, looking every bit like someone on the verge of collapse from torture.

Kamiya Gen walked up to him and reached out to pull the blood-stained strip of cloth from the other's mouth.

"Please! Spare me! I'll do anything, anything, just stop torturing me..." Takahashi Toru cried out frantically.

Kamiya Gen smiled, picked up the tool he had used several times, then, finding it somewhat dirty, simply threw it away and replaced it with a new small knife:

"Speak louder, and I promise I'll take care of you for an extra half hour today."

Takahashi Toru dared not make a sound.

In the past few days, he has come to realize that he should have confessed at the police station long ago.

If you go to jail, you won't have to endure this inhuman suffering.

"Please, I confess..."

Before Takahashi Tetsu could finish speaking, Kamiya Gen stuffed the cloth strip into his mouth again.

Then he began to speak:

"Sorry, I forgot to mention, what we're going to do today might make you want to shout it out."

The next second, Takahashi Toru's snot and tears instantly turned into a mess, and he let out a whimper like a dying animal.

Kamiya Gen inserted the knife into his ankle, located the area, and pulled out a bloody Achilles tendon.

Blood should have splattered everywhere, but strangely, this didn't happen thanks to Kamiya Gen's bizarre manipulation.

"So, it turns out that you can achieve this level with only level four knife control. This is going to be quite an experience."

Kamiya Gen looked at Takahashi Toru's face, which was contorted with extreme pain, and grinned.
