Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner Chapter 274 - 195: The Treasure of Wulin Temple

But that was a dead end.

Fukuyama Toshin was also sprinting down a dead end, desperately seizing wealth in hopes of giving his life a chance to restart.

After Prince Akihito’s death, his body turned into a tree man. Fukuyama Toshin extracted a new dicine from the body that could resist the tree man’s pollination, thereby extending his own ’life’.

By that ti, the Aum Truth Sect had already grown into a massive entity. They took over Prince Akihito’s investnts, demanding that Fukuyama Toshin produce research results. The latter was worn out rely trying to survive; each tree man was a precious experintal subject. How could he allow the Aum Truth Sect to squander them?

After a round of negotiations, Fukuyama Toshin simply suggested they rob graves.

Prince Akihito’s corpse was lying in the Royal Cetery. Pretending to need an autopsy, Fukuyama Toshin had already taken enough samples from it and hadn’t bothered with it since... If the Aum Truth Sect wanted more, they should feel free to help themselves.

Upon learning this, the Aum Truth Sect indeed sent people to dig up the grave and retrieve the tree man from the coffin.

Oogami Nui was originally just an ordinary believer in the Aum Truth Sect, tasked with helping to cultivate and care for the tree n. After discovering the wonders of Ye Tea, she began to work part-ti as a spirit dium, providing this ’Divine dicine’ to the Aum Truth Sect’s upper echelons, enabling them to demonstrate Divine Power before their followers...

Until one day, an assistant burst into a cabinet and left without closing the door, allowing a tree man to escape.

By instinctual cluster behavior, the tree man had the urge to return to pollinate where it ca from. As soon as it got out, it fell into the sewers because, after eavesdropping, the assistant didn’t cover the manhole. By the ti the city planning departnt ca to repair it the next day, it had already run far along the sewer.

Scrambling and struggling all the way, the tree man ran back to Wulin Temple.

Under normal circumstances, it would have sought another parasite to pollinate. Akishino Mako stumbled upon the tree man, causing a fungal imbalance and resulting in hallucinations—she should have had her brain sucked dry right then, but she survived.

Later, Fukuyama Toshin found the wandering tree man and returned it to the Aum Truth Sect.

Akishino Mako realized there was sothing suspicious about her father’s death and secretly investigated without informing her mother. She found her father’s past pathology reports, experintal analyses, financial expenditures, and an unsent letter in his study.

The envelope contained Akihito’s hopes for the future. He never forgot his promise; the family must enjoy flowers in the rain. For this, he took the first step, asking Nakako and Mako to go see the crabapple trees next spring on his behalf.

Akishino Mako intended to inform her mother of the truth, but it coincided with a heavy rain. The pavilion overturned, allowing the tree man to absorb moisture, and the airborne fungi triggered her hallucinations again. She ran downstairs in a frenzy, mistakenly recognizing Fukuyama Toshin as her father, lanting about the unsent letter, which ultimately led to her doom.

Wulin Temple was still under Nakako’s na, which necessitated Fukuyama Toshin silencing her.

At that ti, Fukuyama Toshin drowned Akishino Mako. Before Ono Ken arrived, he jumped into the pond, pretending to rescue Akishino Mako, but in reality, it was to cover up the fact his clothes were wet.

After Akishino Mako’s death, Fukuyama Toshin found the letter, which ntioned Akihito leaving a ’treasure’ for the mother and daughter, though it didn’t clarify what it specifically was, only that it was at Wulin Temple, enough to ensure they were comfortable for the rest of their lives.

Fukuyama Toshin believed it was a huge sum of money and planned to search carefully. Unexpectedly, Madam Nakako refused to leave and even planned to summon spirits. He intended to endure a bit longer, but Oogami Nui pulled a stunt, trying to deceive Madam Nakako out of her estate...

None of this mattered; he could wait until the spirit summoning ceremony was over and then privately reveal Oogami Nui’s deception to Madam Nakako.

But Oogami Nui dropped dead.

Of all places to die, she died at Wulin Temple, murdered, and it was witnessed by two criminal police officers.

Subsequent police investigations would surely uncover his experints; the tea garden was full of buried bodies, there were a few finished experints under the pavilion, and he had a laboratory in the basent... Fukuyama Toshin could already imagine his fate.

That was none of it. It turned out that Oogami Nui brought the tree man with her, and her assistant openly demonstrated the tree man’s pollination process before everyone.

At this point, Fukuyama Toshin could only go all out. He sealed the basent, planning to silence everyone. He would burn everything that needed it clean, and at dawn, seek refuge with the Aum Truth Sect.

At present, there were only four active people left in Wulin Temple.

Fukuyama Toshin did so ntal math and realized he was short on bullets. If it took two shots to kill one person, he barely had enough bullets.

To save bullets, he subtly drew closer while speaking, "You want to reunite with your companion on the second floor, don’t you? What’s his na again? Sothing sothing... Roku? How about you call him down now, and I won’t shoot for the ti being, giving you a chance to reunite, how about that?"

Minamoto Tamako certainly couldn’t agree. If Fushimi Roku ca down, he might also beco a tree man, leading to everyone being wiped out. She would only ask for help in absolute desperation!

As a future famous police chief, surely she would face situations of confrontation with criminals. Minamoto Tamako encouraged herself, believing this was a necessary trial for growth!

Following the police departnt training teaching, now was the ti to find a way to deceive the criminal, looking for an opportunity to enter his blind spot. Minamoto Tamako sneaked a glance; as long as she slipped behind the hallway corner, Fukuyama Toshin wouldn’t be able to shoot them!

She hesitated for a mont, racking her brain for a lie, and finally blurted out:

"He... he’s having diarrhea..."

As soon as she said that, Ono Ken was dumbfounded. Fukuyama Toshin sneered, mocking Minamoto Tamako, saying that guy must have run away in fear, leaving them downstairs without a care. Otherwise, he’d be coming down to support them at the sound of gunfire, right?

Minamoto Tamako wanted to defend, but she felt that it made so sense. Shots had been fired downstairs for five or six tis, yet Mr. Fushimi wasn’t here to help, at least he should have shouted to ask what was going on?

Could he really have gone to the bathroom?

Fukuyama Toshin took advantage of her montary daze to step closer, to prevent himself from missing. He wasn’t confident in his shooting skills, so he aid to kill with one shot, preferably shooting the female police officer first and then solving the other male criminal police officer upstairs.

Minamoto Tamako sensed his intent and quickly helped Ono Ken quietly move. Fukuyama Toshin sternly yelled at her to stay still, or he would shoot!

Upon hearing this, Minamoto Tamako dared not act rashly for a mont.

Seeing Fukuyama Toshin approach step by step, like a noose tightening on the gallows, sweat beaded on her forehead. Just as she was hesitating whether to risk it all, Ono Ken suddenly reached out and pushed her and Madam Nakako behind the hallway.

The next mont, gunshots rang out, and Ono Ken fell to the ground.
