Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner Chapter 63 A Little Boast

Fushimi Roku picked up on the undertone in the words of the noblewoman. Essentially, she wanted him to leave voluntarily, leaving Minamoto Tamako to fend for herself at the police box, and after suffering a major setback, she’d obediently resign and return ho to inherit the family business.

It seems their mother-daughter relationship isn’t very harmonious.

Co to think of it, how could those Japanese elites possibly let their children beco grassroots civil servants? Rather than climbing up from the bottom as a police officer, it’s better to apply to East University for a law degree and beco a prosecutor after graduation... Only soone like Minamoto Tamako would give up a mountain of wealth at ho to beco a famous detective or police chief.

Fushimi Roku hung up the phone, feeling quite relieved.

The noblewoman had pointed out a clear path for him; he just needed to solve three cases alongside the Criminal Police, and he could apply for a transfer which would be approved 100%. Having lived two lifetis, he understood this hint clearly.

This way, he could both get rid of Minamoto Tamako and slack off at a police box in a pri location. As for where to transfer, he had already decided; there was an outstation near the West Sugamo Mall that was quite idle, only responsible for coordination and police liaison, with decent benefits too.

Fushimi Roku beca interested in the Apartnt Ghost case again. Even the legs of a mosquito are at, and if soone died, that would be even better. As long as this criminal case was solved, it would be a remarkable achievent on his resu, bringing him closer to successfully transferring!

But before that, he had sothing more important to do.

Fushimi Roku went upstairs, returned to his dorm room, took a shower, drew the curtains, put on an eye mask, and lay down on the bed.

Scientific research indicates that staying up late can lead to hormonal imbalances, weakened immune function, increased cardiovascular burden, mory decline, and cognitive impairnt, causing irreversible damage to the brain.

Indeed, nothing is more important than enough sleep.

While Fushimi Roku was catching up on sleep, Minamoto Tamako was diligently writing at a small desk. Her tiny dorm room had no windows, the chandelier was of poor quality, and the lighting was particularly dim. So, before returning to the police box, she specifically bought a small desk lamp.

Using the light from the desk lamp, she finished writing a letter to the police station investigating the Snow Mountain shooting case, then tore out another sheet of letter paper to write a letter to Mama.

"To my dear mother,"

Minamoto Tamako started the letter but didn’t know what to write next.

Her original plan was to write a letter just to say she was safe. But then she thought it seed redundant; if she truly wanted to assure Mama of her safety, she could have just made a phone call. Ever since she stubbornly didn’t answer Mama’s call last ti, Mama hadn’t called her again, and she was too proud to call her back.

So this ti, by writing a letter, she actually wanted to prove herself.

A scene appeared in Minamoto Tamako’s mind: Mama was diligently working in the office when suddenly the mailman arrived and handed her the letter. Mama, with a serious face, muttered about what trouble her daughter had caused again, only to open the envelope and find out her daughter had not only graduated from the police academy but even beca a proud patrol officer, moved to tears with pride for her daughter...

Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.

Alright, I know what to write!

Start with the detective ga. The extrely clever daughter-chan at the police academy ca across the idiot Fushimi and used lateral thinking puzzles to teach Fushimi a lesson. When he heard "the criminal himself is anti-logical," he was deeply shocked and insisted on teaming up with your extrely clever daughter-chan...

Well, although there’s a bit of embellishnt, Mama doesn’t know the real situation. She’s worked hard for this long, a little bragging to Mama shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Next was the death of her friend Kawai, making Minamoto Tamako feel a bit heavy-hearted, but she still used historical writing to highlight her achievent: Fushimi was mistakenly identified as a suspect, while your extrely clever daughter-chan used her superior deduction skills to clear the innocent and insisted on pursuing the detestable criminal codenad "Heavenly Punishnt"... Yes, she had already decided the code na for that guy would be Heavenly Punishnt!

Yes, though it’s slightly exaggerated, Kawai-chan’s spirit in heaven wouldn’t mind, right?

That’s not all; next cos the grand Snow Mountain shooting case! Fushimi, her partner, unexpectedly developed a rebellious spirit and wanted to stage an uprising to beco the head of the detective team! Thus, in their final exams, they agreed to decide victory with reasoning... When it ca to this part, Minamoto Tamako found herself in a bind. She originally wanted to say she won with difficulty, but her final exam rank was second, wasn’t it clear she lost?

Minamoto Tamako put down the ballpoint pen, crossed her arms, and pondered deeply.

How exactly should she write it? Could she say she voluntarily gave first place to Fushimi? That sounds like a sore loser trying to save face...

Got it!

An idea lit up in Minamoto Tamako’s mind as she recalled the classic plot from hot-blooded manga: the protagonist, to save soone, gives up the hope of passing the exam and ultimately gains everyone’s respect, winning the examiners’ favor and passing by a fluke... She could borrow from this, no, she could modify it a bit using this template.

Fushimi got lost in the Great Snow Mountain and stumbled upon a terrifying skeleton in a cave, recalling the eerie legend of the skeleton’s revival a century ago. He was so frightened that he trembled and even developed a high fever and fell unconscious... At this ti, the smart, kind, and cute Minamoto Tamako appeared!

To rescue Fushimi, she gave up the graduation exam and imdiately took him to the assembly point for treatnt. anwhile, she discovered the skeleton in the cave died of homicide, revealing the unspeakable past of Instructor Shirota...

Minamoto Tamako wrote swiftly with the ballpoint pen in hand, the smile on her face growing more complacent.

She continued writing about today’s Apartnt Ghost incident, deliberately teasing Mama by claiming that she discovered so clues from the traces. The woman wasn’t dead at all, and Yasukawa Seiji only told half the truth... Her partner Fushimi was getting anxious, scratching his head, persistently questioning her, but she adhered to the presumption of innocence principle, needing a careful investigation and sufficient evidence before drawing a conclusion!

"Wish your daughter good luck! Maybe it won’t be long before I can work alongside Mama!"

Minamoto Tamako got carried away, and before she realized what nonsense she wrote, the letter was already sent out by herself.

Hmm, it might be a bit conceited, but Mama should support her, right?

Minamoto Tamako recalled her mother’s black belt in Taekwondo splitting bricks with a single chop, growing increasingly uncertain inside.

She should support her, right?

After showering, she lay in bed, eyes open, feeling sowhat lost inside.

Never mind, just sleep first!

Minamoto Tamako wound the alarm clock, set the ti, planning to head out before work and try to get to the bottom of the Apartnt Ghost incident!
