Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner Chapter 654 - 426: Keeping a Trump Card (Part 4)

What should I do?

Minamoto Tamako saw his dilemma and gently pushed him, saying, "I can take care of myself, you go ahead."

"Really?" Fushimi Roku was worried.

"Really, I will try to keep up and support you from a distance," Minamoto Tamako nodded seriously, "If you need anything, I’m always here."

Fushimi Roku remained silent for a while, then nodded, bent over and stood up, quickly following the two people before they got too far.

He wanted to solve the issue quickly and rescue the person to avoid anything happening to Minamoto Tamako.

But Uesugi Shion had clearly guessed his intentions, or rather Uesugi Shion had this plan from the beginning. They had planted many traps along their retreat path, so real, so fake, slowing down Fushimi Roku’s pursuit.

About twenty minutes later, Fushimi Roku lost track of them.

He tried his best and planned to return and et up with Minamoto Tamako, but on the way, he heard footsteps, dense and mixed with barking dogs, suggesting a large group of people surrounding him.

Fushimi Roku had no ti to run; escaping now would surely alert the other party, so he swiftly climbed up a tree, hiding in the branches to observe.

The newcors were hidden in the woods, flashlight beams flickering chaotically. Roughly counting, there were twenty or thirty people, and farther away he couldn’t see clearly, but there might be more. They were definitely not with Uesugi Shion... Uesugi Shion’s team wasn’t so poorly equipped and didn’t need police dogs.

Indeed, these people had brought police dogs.

Fushimi Roku recognized the uniforms on these people, they were mbers of the mobile squad; it seed they had landed and followed over.

Should he directly et up with them?

Fushimi Roku saw the leader; it was Kujo Yua, who also seed to have risked it all, personally overseeing the battle. Her achievents would surely be noted prominently in the future.

Hmm, it’s worth discussing.

Instead of arduously pursuing Moriyama Yasurou himself, it would be better to let the Police Departnt’s elite professionals handle the hostage rescue. Japan is unlike Russia; there’s no tradition of shooting hostages to make kidnappers surrender.

He jumped down from the tree, landing right behind Kujo Yua.

The surrounding mobile squad mbers all turned their guns, aiming at Fushimi Roku from all directions. He had to raise his hands, indicating he wasn’t ard, "It’s , Chief Kujo."

Kujo Yua was so scared just now that cold sweat ca out, her back damp. If she hadn’t kept her expression stiff, she might have broken down.

Upon hearing Fushimi Roku’s voice, she imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, feigned calmness, and turned to examine him, confirming it was Fushimi Roku, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

Fushimi Roku pretended to be confused again and said, "Didn’t Tamako report to Chief Kikuchi? We are conducting a capture operation."

Kujo Yua’s heart tightened, her complexion slightly changed, "Tamako is here too?"

"Right behind..."

Fushimi Roku was about to call for Tamako when suddenly a crackling sound ca from not far away. The raging fire spread over, with ashes and sparks swirling in the air, and the bright wall of flas drawing closer.

"Retreat."

Kujo Yua imdiately decided. The direction of the forest fire was uneven and could burn over from all sides. By the ti people realized it, they would already be inside the fire.

The mobile squad mbers imdiately retreated the way they ca, and Kujo Yua ordered them to search along the way to quickly find Minamoto Tamako.

The group moved quickly, but Kujo Yua found one was missing from her side. When she looked back, she saw Fushimi Roku standing still.

"Keep up, what are you standing there for?" Kujo Yua ordered.

"You go ahead."

Fushimi Roku faced the raging fire, drew his sword, and his elongated shadow swayed back and forth, "I have sothing to do."

He saw Uesugi Shion. The latter stood at the edge of the firebreak, her beautiful face appearing sowhat grim in the interplay of light and shadow, like an Asura from Hell.

Uesugi Shion beckoned to him and mouthed:

"Co."

"Otherwise she will die."
