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

Chapter 71

The following morning, Kamiya Gen was awakened by a walkie-talkie.

It was Yuzuki who asked him to go to school together to help deal with Miyazawa's matter.

After getting out of bed and throwing on some clothes, Kamiya Gen opened the dormitory door.

"Last night...you seemed to come home very late?"

Muheyou stood at the door, peeking inside with her little head.

"It's troublesome to take Miyazawa home. Didn't I tell you already? Her father is very overbearing..."

Kamiya Gen, clutching his hair, picked up the toiletries beside him, preparing to go to the washroom. "What are you looking at here for?"

Muheyou stepped aside to let him pass, still looking around the room.

Indeed, I didn't see anyone else there.

"Let's see if you're lying to me. Maybe you brought a girl back to your dorm."

"Am I so poor that I've lost all sense of shame?"

Kamiya Gen was speechless. Then, remembering the chocolate that was still in the corner, he bent down and handed it to her.

Mu Heyou was slightly taken aback, then quickly reached out to catch it, seemingly a little nervous, but her expression immediately changed: "It's not time yet! What's the point of sending it out now?"

February 14th is Valentine's Day, and March 14th is White Day.

Logically speaking, it should be several days before Kamiya Gen returns the gift.

Seeing her expression, Kamiya Gen couldn't help but think to himself, "How dare you say that... Don't you have any idea when you gave her this gift?"

Muheyou fell silent. In this respect, the timing of her gift delivery was even more outrageous.

While other stores are already selling gifts that men give back to women, the chocolates here haven't even been given out yet, and have even been sealed up and turned into unknown items.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Kamiya Gen didn't intend to continue the argument and walked around Muhe Yuzu downstairs.

The latter glanced back at the dormitory again, then quickly followed.

"You were easy to wake up today; I thought you'd sleep until noon," she said from behind.

Kamiya Gen nodded, attributing all the credit to the policewoman behind him: "It's all thanks to Inspector Kiha who took good care of me. If you hadn't been working even on your holiday, I wouldn't have been dragged along to school."

"Isn't it you who's going too!" Muheyou thought he was talking complete nonsense.

Kamiya Gen thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Whether or not Muheyu intervenes, I still have to help deal with things at Miyazawa School.

"I'm used to it," he waved his hand and went into the washroom to start washing up.

Muheyou didn't go in; she stood at the door and waited.

……

When Kamiya Gen came out after finishing everything, she was sitting on a small stool next to her looking at the return gifts she had received. Her little face was downcast, and she seemed very unhappy.

After going upstairs to put away my toiletries and coming back, the chocolate was gone, but the unhappiness on her face remained.

In reality, she just felt that Kamiya Gen's return gift was too casual. It was obviously a piece of obligatory chocolate from a store—in Kinoshita Yuzu's opinion, it was really too careless, considering that she had given him chocolates she made herself.

Without asking her opinion, Kamiya Gen held out his hand and asked, "Do you have the car keys? Or do we need to go to the police station to get them?"

"It's here..." Muheyou muttered, taking a key out of her pocket.

……

The two drove to the Miyazawa family home. As soon as they stopped at the entrance of the alley of the old apartment building, they saw Masao Miyazawa standing on the stone steps with Yuzuki Miyazawa.

The former was carrying a cloth bag and kept looking towards the intersection.

"Officer Kamiya, Officer Kiha, we've been waiting for you!"

Masao Miyazawa quickly approached, a smile plastered on his face, and stepped aside to let the two see his daughter behind him.

The girl changed into a clean Shibuya Minami High School uniform, her hair neatly combed, but she lowered her eyes, somewhat afraid to look in this direction.

Kamiya Gen knew the reason in his heart. In the end, it was still because of what happened last night. Not to mention Miyazawa Yuzuki, even he felt a little awkward when he saw this family.

Muheyou knew nothing of this; she had only heard from Kamiya Gen that Miyazawa Masao was very enthusiastic, and now it seemed that was indeed the case. She stepped forward and said:

"Shall we head out now? Let's not linger."

"Um... then I'll trouble you two officers. I won't be going with you," said Masao Miyazawa.

Muheyou asked doubtfully, "Aren't you coming along? Shouldn't the parents be there?"

Kamiya Gen waved his hand, stopping her from asking any further questions: "Mr. Miyazawa must be very tired. It's good for him to rest at home. Just leave it to the police."

He could actually see the father's predicament. If he was to accompany his daughter to school, he needed to at least have a decent-looking outfit. Otherwise, if her classmates saw him, Miyazawa Yuzuki would inevitably run into a lot of trouble in her school life.

Besides, Kamiya Gen was also afraid that the man would bring up what happened last night again in the car.

If Muheyou knew, who knows what kind of expression she would give him.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Miyazawa Yuzuki got into the police car, and the three of them headed to the school together.

Of course, the driver was Gen Kamiya.

As long as he's around, there's absolutely no way he'll let Muheyou touch the steering wheel.

Not everyone has the constitution of Satoshi Ohno; I still want to live a few more years.

"If we're going to buy a pager, what kind do you think would be suitable, Miyazawa?" Kamiya Gen suddenly asked while driving.

Sitting in the back row, Miyazawa Yuzuki was visibly taken aback, then replied, "What...who are you buying it for?"

"Of course I'm buying it for you, so that if something like this happens again, you won't be unable to find the person."

This was something Kamiya Gen had considered beforehand, and although it hurt, there was nothing he could do about it.

He was genuinely afraid of this guy's jinx-like nature; who knew that one day he might be sitting in the police station when he received a call urging the guy to report that something had already happened to him...

"No need, it's too expensive...it's too wasteful of money, thank you Kamiya-nii..." Miyazawa Yuzuki waved her hand.

Kamiya Gen was speechless and glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

Why is this guy calling himself "Kamiya-kun"? Did he actually take her father's words to heart?

Sitting in the passenger seat, Muheyou also noticed something was off; the way they addressed each other and their tone were far too intimate.

He immediately frowned and took a flip phone out of his pocket:

"No need to buy any pagers, just use this one. I have several spare ones that I don't have anywhere to use..."

Miyazawa Yuzuki didn't dare accept such an expensive gift at all and shook her head repeatedly.

Kamiya Genya was stunned, not expecting Kiha Yu to suddenly pull this move.

In present-day Japan, mobile communication is far from widespread, and the flip phone that Yuzuki is currently showing off is considered an extremely expensive luxury item.

These analog mobile phones typically cost 150,000 to 160,000 yen, plus an additional network access fee of around 50,000 yen, and monthly fees ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 yen.

At that time, the average office worker's monthly salary was just over 200,000 yuan, and the cost of a mobile phone was equivalent to more than half a year's livelihood for an average family.

Even among police officers in the police station, only a few key field officers are equipped with them; they are purely for office use, and private individuals would not easily purchase them.

Pagers are a newly emerging civilian communication tool, with basic digital models costing only three to six thousand yen each, and a monthly fee of just over two thousand yen.

For a regular police officer like Kamiya Gen, it's not a burden, but it's already a rare sight for high school students.

The Miyazawa family was already struggling financially due to the father's unemployment, so naturally they would find pagers too expensive.

Moreover... the phone that Mu Heyou took out was clearly not a cheap one; it might be worth more than 200,000.

That damn rich girl, she keeps complaining about being poor, but it turns out she always carries several cell phones with her.

Why don't you offer any help to yourselves?

"Don't worry about the monthly fee. Someone will top it up every month. Just use it. If you need anything, you can contact my number directly, and I'll save it for you..."

Muheyou's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, saving her phone number, then she handed the phone to her, saying, "That's all."

Miyazawa Yuzuki glanced furtively at Kamiya Gen: "This is too...too precious...I can't accept it..."

"Kamiya-kun, what do you think?" Yuzuki also looked at him as he drove, her eyes sharp.

"What do I know..." Kamiya Gen said speechlessly, nodding as he looked at Miyazawa Yuzuki's obviously delighted expression.

"Just accept it. Anyway, Inspector Muhe is a big shot and doesn't care about such trivial matters. Just don't lose your phone."

"It's alright, there's a tracking system inside. Even if it's stolen and ends up on the market, I can find someone to retrieve it. We might even solve a theft case along the way," Muheyou added.

—You really are very thoughtful.

As Kamiya Gen was thinking this, he heard Miyazawa whisper behind him:

"What if...what if I accidentally break it..."

"It's no big deal if it gets broken, I'll just give you another one."

hiss--

Kamiya Gen stepped on the brakes and stopped the vehicle on the side of the road.

He turned his head, looked at Mu Heyou, and said seriously:

"Inspector Muhe, could you arrange one for me too? I promise I won't break it."

……

To Kamiya Gen's surprise, Muhe Yu actually pulled out another cell phone from her person.

"This is too expensive." Kamiya Gen said, but stuffed it into his pocket.

Just kidding, this is worth hundreds of thousands of yen. He doesn't even have enough money to buy one of these right now. Of course he should take it if he can.

Moreover, there's no monthly fee.

Those important figures in Muhe's family are really clueless. They're even willing to do things for her daughter themselves, and they're even going on field trips with her during their holidays.

He doesn't even know how to get himself a car or anything, and he's still driving this beat-up manual transmission car from the police station.

Do you think you're some kind of noble idiot?

It's only natural to accept a cell phone from the young lady.

There will be absolutely no psychological burden!

"Kamiya-kun, you can't say my gift was bad now, can you?"

"I dare not say, I dare not say."

Kamiya Gen continued driving with a cheerful grin, not forgetting to remind Miyazawa Yuzuki, "Aren't you going to thank Inspector Kihachi?"

"Thank you," Miyazawa Yuzuki nodded from behind.

Muheyou responded, but she couldn't stand Miyazawa Yuzuki's subservient attitude towards Kamiya Gen, and she couldn't understand why she liked this kind of man. She said:

"Contact me if you need anything in the future. This guy is very lazy every day, and he might not help you if you ask him. I'm always available."

"I understand," Miyazawa Yuzuki said softly.

Kamiya Gen was displeased, feeling that he had lost face, and said, "Where did I slack off? If I hadn't searched all over Shibuya last night, she would probably still be hiding in some alleyway."

"Didn't you say it was a coincidence?" Muheyou asked.

Kamiya Gen felt that he couldn't have a proper conversation with her. Why did she always have to undermine him?

So he simply shut up and chose to drive honestly.

……

Before long, the three arrived at Shibuya Minami High School.

The car stopped in front of the office building. Miyazawa Yuzuki still couldn't hide her unease. She followed Kamiya Gen and Kiha Yu slowly into the building, and the sidelong glances from the students along the way made her lower her head even more.

The three quickly found Miyazawa Yuzuki's homeroom teacher and went together to the dean's office.

To the surprise of Kamiya Gen and Kiho Yuzu, the school already knew the truth about the theft—Oda Yuki had already gone to the homeroom teacher and the dean of students after returning to school, and confessed the whole story of how she framed Miyazawa Yuzuki.

Upon seeing the three arrive, the head of the teaching department immediately stood up to greet them, his expression full of apology towards Miyazawa Yuzuki.

She then called over Yuki Oda, who was already waiting nearby, and made her apologize to Miyazawa in front of everyone.

As for Miyazawa Yuzuki, she looked at Oda Yuki, who was bowing her head in apology, and then at the apologetic teacher and principal. The grievances that had been building up for many days gradually dissipated, and she finally expressed her forgiveness.

Kamiya Gen sat on the sofa, quietly watching this scene.

After so many times, he no longer trusted that people like Yuki Oda could do anything good.

After everything was settled, he summoned Yuki Oda again in his personal capacity.

"Is there anything else you need?" the girl asked, her head bowed.

Kamiya Gen didn't bother with pleasantries and cut to the chase:

"I don't think you've really admitted your mistake, but you can wait and see whether Nakano will go to jail and whether Nozaki, who escaped, will be caught by the police. We'll wait and see."

Yuki Oda looked up at him, her gaze meeting the upturned corners of Gen Kamiya's mouth.

"If you still want to play, then try and see if I can arrest all of you delinquents."

"I...I won't do it again," Yuki Oda said, bowing her head.

"Suit yourself." Kamiya Gen waved his hand, ignoring her expression, and turned to leave.

After going downstairs, Muheyou was already waiting by the car for a long time.

"Miyazawa has returned to class, so everything should be fine now, and she can focus on her studies."

"Study my ass... She's not exactly a good student, she's probably just coasting through school." Kamiya Gen said, opening the car door.

"How could you talk bad about her behind her back..." Muheyou fastened her seatbelt.

Kamiya Gen retorted, "I'll say it to her face too, okay? This girl is just not cut out for studying. All she thinks about is romance and other random things. Getting her to study properly is harder than climbing to heaven."

"You two have such a good relationship," Mu Heyou changed the subject. "She even calls you 'brother,' but you're talking to her like you're lecturing your younger sister."

Kamiya Gen was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "I hope that's really the case."

Miyazawa clearly harbored ill intentions towards her, as did her father.

Damn it, why does everyone think they're a lolicon?

He straightened his hair in front of the mirror and said, "I'm going to the hospital now, and everything's taken care of..."

"Has Nozaki still not been caught?"

Only then did Kamiya Gen realize this and said, "That's your business, I'm not going to get involved..."
