Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner Chapter 242 - 163: Spirit Medium

Life is unpredictable, like a sausage casing stuffed with another sausage.

Fushimi Roku didn’t expect that his offhand suggestion would suddenly beco a boorang. Right now, he had no excuse to dissuade anyone, feeling frustrated, he decided to focus on enjoying his al.

After more than half an hour, they were full and satisfied. Fushimi Roku planned to go ho and rest. Tomorrow, he had to return to work, so he wanted to make the most of his holiday.

Minamoto Tamako wanted to continue practicing shooting, but considering Senior Kazama’s long journey, she thought it wasn’t appropriate to speak up and wanted him to rest for a day before bringing it up again. Kazama Tatsuya, unaware of Tamako’s secret competitiveness, also planned to go ho and rest.

The three of them went back to the apartnt together. As the elevator doors opened, they just happened to stumble upon two won confronting each other in the corridor.

The first woman was wearing a skin-toned low-neck short sleeve top, exuding a mature woman charm, it was Shirakawa Miki; the other woman was wearing a black casual suit, her chest was quite ample, exuding an aura of a workplace strongwoman, it was clearly the journalist Yazaki Momo.

Their argunt could be heard, and the three listened for a while, quickly figuring out what was going on.

Yazaki Momo ca to find Fushimi Roku for personal matters, but was mistaken by Shirakawa Miki as a suspicious person and was stopped at the door. They didn’t like each other’s looks, causing a heated argunt...

To call it an argunt is inaccurate, it was more like exchanging sarcastic remarks. Japanese girls arguing tends to be more civilized, they wouldn’t shout like fishwives, instead they use disdainful tones to repeatedly attack each other.

Seeing this, Minamoto Tamako hurriedly stepped forward to diate.

Once she learned Yazaki Momo was indeed an acquaintance of the Fushimi Sect Leader, Shirakawa Miki let it go. Before returning to her room, she told Fushimi Roku that Yazaki Momo didn’t seem like a good person and surely didn’t co with good intentions.

Kazama Tatsuya had no intention of getting involved, he just glanced over and then took out the keys to open the door and went ho.

Minamoto Tamako pouted, thinking that Shirakawa Miki didn’t seem like a good person either. Who would be so bored as to guard a neighbor’s door? Maybe Shirakawa Miki leaned against the wall every day to eavesdrop on them. Just the thought of it gave her the creeps.

She welcod Yazaki Momo into the door and poured her a cup of tea.

Thanks to Yazaki Momo, Yamaguchi Takashi was willing to file a case. Tamako always rembered this favor but never found the right opportunity to repay... After all, she was living paycheck to paycheck and couldn’t spare any money for gifts.

Fushimi Roku felt sowhat surprised, he didn’t expect Yazaki Momo would take the initiative to visit, and directly asked, "What brings you here, Ms. Yazaki?"

Without waiting for Yazaki’s reply, Tamako excitedly asked, "Could it be you want to interview the famous criminal police?"

Ever since she heard that "Criminal News" had an interview column, she would often borrow colleagues’ newspapers to read. Occasionally with so spare money, she would spend over a hundred yen to buy a newspaper, sitting at her desk like a little adult to study, checking which criminal police made outstanding contributions to public security.

It’s impossible not to envy them sotis.

Now that Tamako herself was a criminal police, she would daydream about being interviewed, with reporters asking her tricky questions, while she would respond cleverly and perfectly, lightly laughing at past hardships, enurating those who looked down on her, and finally waving it off as all in the past, showing she no longer minded it.

"No, actually it’s a personal matter, it has nothing to do with the newspaper," Yazaki Momo shattered her fantasy.

Tamako felt a bit disappointed, then beca vigilant... Since it wasn’t for business, what private matter could there be between Yazaki Momo and Fushimi Roku?

She sat on the sofa beside Fushimi Roku, casting a slightly skeptical sidelong glance, thinking this guy seems to be on a lucky streak romantically lately!

First, Shirakawa Miki and Horie Junko threw themselves at him, now Yazaki Momo ca to discuss personal matters... My gosh! These won must be blind, how could they be interested in Mr. Fushimi?

Fushimi Roku was also at a loss, he hadn’t beco so vain as to think won approaching were out of romantic interest, especially since Yazaki Momo didn’t seem like the type who valued love that much.

"What’s this personal matter?" He glanced back at Minamoto Tamako, "Do we need her to step out?"

Hearing this, Tamako’s stray hairs stood up.

How dare he! What could possibly be said that she couldn’t hear?

When did Mr. Fushimi and Ms. Yazaki beco so close?

"No worries, Ms. Tamako can stay too," Yazaki Momo didn’t hesitate, she opened her briefcase, saying while searching, "Actually, I want to ask for Mr. Fushimi’s help to investigate sothing..."

"No-see-you-out." Fushimi Roku interrupted, "I’m going to sleep."

From just hearing this sentence, he knew it would be a thankless job. Journalists don’t earn much, they definitely couldn’t afford to pay much, he didn’t want to wade into muddy waters!

Hearing this, both Yazaki Momo and Minamoto Tamako were stunned, the latter couldn’t help but criticize, "At least wait until she finishes talking? She hasn’t even said what the matter is!"

Fushimi Roku turned away, lying back on the sofa lazily, yawning, "Anyway, it’s about investigating a case, right? I suggest Ms. Yazaki report it, if you find the criminal police unreliable, you could hire a private detective..."

At the ntion of a case, Minamoto Tamako imdiately perked up.

She had been doing clerical work at the police station for almost two months, either doing chores or more chores, her brain was nearly rusting.

Finally encountering a case, she definitely wanted to take it, striving to be in charge of it, beautifully cracking the case, and passing the probationary training in one fell swoop!

"Don’t mind him, Ms. Yazaki, please continue," Tamako’s attitude changed greatly, sitting properly with her legs together, asking, "What exactly do you need us to investigate?"

Fushimi Roku thought how did it beco ’us’? He hadn’t agreed to help yet! Besides, Yazaki Momo wasn’t asking for her help, why was she so eager?

"Actually, it’s not an investigation."

Yazaki Momo cleared her throat, took out a newspaper from her briefcase, and asked, "Have you heard of a ’Spirit dium’?"

To Fushimi Roku, a Spirit dium was a cliché thing; but to Minamoto Tamako, it was both mysterious and mystical. There were often reports about spirit diums on TV, so local police even used spirit diums to summon spirits to solve cases...

In the 90s, Japan’s view on spirit diums was probably equivalent to China’s qigong craze.

Seeing Tamako nodding, Yazaki opened the newspaper, continuing, "Then you should have heard of Oogami Spirit dium..."

"Who?" Fushimi Roku asked.

Tamako appeared shocked, turning to look at Fushimi Roku. Even she, as a materialist who didn’t believe in superpowers, had heard of Oogami Nui’s na: "Whoa? You don’t know? That super dium who’s often on TV, hailed as the ’Empress’ and ’Genius Female Stock Market Master’, a very famous spirit dium!"

"How do you know?" Fushimi Roku retorted.

"Because she can predict stock market fluctuations!" Tamako’s small eyebrows gradually furrowed, "Didn’t you make a lot of money from stocks before? How co you haven’t heard of her..."

"Ah, now I rember." Fushimi Roku pretended to realize.

Seeing neither of them had objections, Yazaki Momo pointed at the photo in the newspaper to state her intention:

"So ti ago, the daughter of Prince Akihito, Akishino Mako fell from the building and died. After police investigation, it was ruled a suicide."

"Afterwards, Mako’s mother hired Oogami Spirit dium, hoping to hold a spirit summoning ceremony at ho to communicate with her daughter."

"The handling police station found this behavior rather sensitive, yet it’s hard to stop it, so they asked a newspaper reporter to investigate secretly in the guise of an interview."

"I took on this task, hoping to invite Mr. Fushimi to observe the spirit summoning ceremony... If the Oogami Nui’s trickery could be exposed, that’d be even better."

At this point, Yazaki Momo displayed the signature smile of a ’news hound’: "If the Oogami Spirit dium’s summon fails, it will undoubtedly be a sensational news."
