Chapter 169

"If things go well, I will be able to open one of the simplest [magic circles] soon."

Listening to Philip's words, Shotaro Zuo frowned slightly: "Is it some kind of brand-new power created based on [Gaia Memory]...

"What is he going to do with that power?"

Then, Philip's voice came again, and he was heard saying: "Speaking of which, Shotaro, I also happened to hear the commission you received from Miss Marina to find Yosuke Togawa.

"When I heard that Marina-san mentioned that Togawa Yosuke was related to Wind Scale, I simply conducted a special search.

"I think this information should be of help to you.

“If you use [Togawa Yosuke], [Wind Scale] and [Resignation] as keywords, you can search for a simple past event in the Earth Library.

“Not long ago, the designer Yosuke Togawa completed the design of a new suit. He is full of expectations and hopes to launch the new product he designed as the flagship product of Wind Scale in the next quarter.

“However, Togawa Yosuke’s boss rejected his application and ruthlessly evaluated Togawa Yosuke’s design as worthless garbage.

“This made Togawa Yosuke very distressed for a time.

"And when Yosuke Togawa visited various Wind Scale branches to investigate user experience and design another new product from scratch, he discovered...

“Not long ago, the new suit designed by Togawa Yosuke was already displayed in the window.

“As for the designer’s column, Togawa Yosuke’s name was not filled in.

“Instead, the name of the boss who rated the design as garbage was filled in the designer’s column.

"After that, Yosuke Togawa resigned from Wind Scale out of anger."

After hearing the information provided by Philip, Zuo Shotaro shook his head slightly and sighed.

[The time of the crime] is basically determined.

The [committing tools] also revealed clues.

Now, finally...

[Motive], found.

"What a deplorable motive..."

After a moment, Zuo Shotaro straightened his hat: "I can understand the reason for your revenge...

“Yet to cause innocent people to be burned by your wrath, and to make the inhabitants of this city weep with pain…

"I will never forgive you either!"

Then, Shotaro Zuo said to the other end of the phone: "Philip, let's start searching.

"The search target is -

"[The Gaia memory used by Togawa Yosuke].

"Next...

"We're going to defeat him head-on."

2a

After a while, Shotaro Zuo recalled the information presented in the Pad handed over by Officer Shiraishi. Then he opened his eyes and said to Philip on the other end of the phone: "The key word is...

"Togawa Yosuke.

“The heat melts.

"as well as......

"Metamorphic Rock.

"Olivine.

"Spinel."

After hearing what Shotaro Zuo said, Philip on the other side of the communication paused for a moment.

A moment later, Philip's voice sounded on the other side of the phone again: "It is a very clever choice to use mineralogy-related terms to determine the composition of Gaia's memory...

"Almost after giving the keyword [Metamorphic Rock], the answer has been completely locked in the [Magma] memory...

“This is the only Gaia memory that is highly compatible with Togawa Yosuke and matches the traces left at the scene of the Wind Scale attack.

"But then again, Shotaro, how did you get these keywords?

"Metamorphic rock, olivine, and spinel. If we just conduct an on-site investigation, it would be difficult to determine whether these materials remain in the ruins, right?"

Shotaro Zuo then explained: "It's information from within the Metropolitan Police Department. To be precise, it's the information provided to me by Officer Shiraishi who is affiliated with the Abnormal Incident Investigation Section I mentioned before."

And Phillip muttered to himself and repeated: "Officer Shiraishi from the Abnormal Event Investigation Division?"

The next moment, Shotaro Zuo also murmured to himself: "Speaking of which, is the memory used by Togawa Yosuke Magma...

“Does the [Lava Purgatory] mentioned in Mr. Huang’s crime warning letter refer to Togawa Yosuke’s attack?

“Then what kind of timing does [struggle to escape from lava purgatory] refer to?

"[Abominable soul] and [Last fig leaf], what exactly are they?

"Prince Huang...

“The deeper you investigate, the more you feel as if everything is completely based on Huang Jinqing’s speculation, as if everything is running according to Huang Jinqing’s will.

"That guy is really scary..."

"To what extent did he grasp the incident and use the intelligence..."

While Zuo Shotaro was thinking about it, Asukiko Narumi took out a pair of green slippers from the package he carried with him.

The next moment, the green slipper slapped Zuo Shotaro's head, and a crisp sound was made.

Shotaro Zuo straightened his hat and looked at Asukiko Narumi with a slight frown: "Hey! You guy! Even if you are my uncle's daughter, if you offend me like this, I will still get angry!"

However, Narumi Asukiko suddenly pulled up Zuo Shotarou's collar, and then dragged Zuo Shotarou and ran away.

At the same time, Asukiko Narumi explained: "You are a half-assed detective who only cares about reasoning. Didn't you notice that the danger was approaching?

"That dopant, that magma guy you were talking about has already appeared!"

The next moment, a blazing heat wave shot out, and the area where Zuo Shotaro and Narumi Asukiko were standing had completely turned into a lava purgatory.

At this moment, Shotarou Zuo noticed that at some point, a guy with a dark rock as the base, burning flames on his body, and flowing lava had approached.

Magma dopant.

Togawa Yosuke.

And what Narumi Asukiko did just now was actually to save him, a half-hearted detective who was lost in thought.

Seeing the monster appear in front of him, Zuo Shotaro did not panic, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"It really takes no effort at all."

The next moment, Zuo Shotaro grabbed Narumi Asukiko and asked Narumi Asukiko to let go of his tie. He smiled and said to Narumi Asukiko: "Hey, landlady, don't you want to know something?" Is it Kamen Rider W?

“Then let’s wait and see what happens next——

"The transformation of Kamen Rider W."

Looking at Zuo Shotarou's figure who had no intention of escaping, but was walking towards the dangerous magma mixture, Narumi Asukiko also expressed doubts: "Huh?"

The next moment, Shotaro Zuo also took out the drive that could be inserted into the memory from the inside of the suit jacket.

Shotaro Zuo placed the driver on his waist, then looked at the magma dopant, and he said calmly: "Are you Togawa Yosuke?

"If my reasoning is not wrong...

"Right now, you are probably preparing to go to the next Wind Scale branch where your design results are listed, and then plan to use the power of Magma memory to completely destroy that Wind Scale branch, right?"

Shotaro Zuo gently pressed the memory.

"Joker!"

"I can't let you continue to hurt innocent people."

At the same time, Philip, who was far away in Narumi Detective Agency, also understood Shotaro Zuo's intention.

Phillip pressed the memory gently.

"Cyclone!"

"It's us, right?"

A voice sounded in Zuo Shotaro's mind.

Then, as Philip inserted the Cyclone memory into the drive that emerged from his waist, a stream of data also transferred the power of the Cyclone memory and Philip's consciousness to Shotaro Zuo.

Looking at the Cyclone memory floating on his waist, Shotaro Zuo shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "That's right, it should be said [us]."

Perhaps it was a reaction to keywords such as "Togawa Yosuke" or "Wind Scale", or perhaps it was a reaction to the energy fluctuations in Gaia's memory, then his magma dopant looked at Zuo Shotaro.

"Who are you?" came a low voice.

But Shotaro Zuo packed the Cyclone memory and the Joker memory into the drive one after another, and then said calmly: "We are two detectives in one.

"Kamen Rider W."

The next moment, as Shotaro Zuo opened his arms in a slightly frivolous gesture, hurricane-like power burst out from the driver around his waist.

Then, a Kamen Rider with half green and half black appeared in front of Togawa Yosuke.

Red eyes lit up.

The next moment, Kamen Rider W pointed in the direction of Togawa Yosuke with a pistol stance.

"Sarah, come and count your sins!"

The voices of Phillip and Zuo Shotaro sounded at the same time.

292-Tyrannosaurus dopant

However, Kamen Rider W's words seemed to anger Togawa Yosuke. The surface of the magma doped body released a higher temperature, and he roared and rushed towards the direction of Kamen Rider W.

"The one who deserves to be counted for his crimes is Wind Scale!"

Punch!

The next moment.

The high-temperature fist collided with the fist wrapped in the air current.

Kamen Rider W caught the punch steadily.

At this moment, Kamen Rider W's red eyes were just staring quietly at the magma dopant. He just silently chose to fight Togawa Yosuke, and did not refute the words Togawa Yosuke just roared.

Then, the high-temperature airflow continued to spread.

Togawa Yosuke roared and used his strength again.

The battle begins.

However, the battle was not an even confrontation.

Rather, it was a one-sided crushing.

With the increased physical strength and fighting skills of the Joker memory, and the ability of the Cyclone memory to control airflow to a certain extent, Kamen Rider W can be said to have completely suppressed the magma-doped Yosuke Togawa.

In terms of combat skills, Shotaro Zuo, who already has rich fighting experience, completely suppressed Yosuke Togawa, who only works as a clothing designer, after obtaining Joker's memory to enhance his physical strength and improve his fighting skills.

In terms of special abilities, Philip can reduce the temperature of the magma dopant to a certain extent by manipulating the turbulent airflow to quickly pass over the surface of the magma dopant, preventing the magma dopant from fully exerting its maximum ability.

After just a few simple confrontations, Kamen Rider W defeated the magma-doped Togawa Yosuke.

At some point, the magma dopant was punched away by Kamen Rider W, and then flew directly backwards.

Then, the magma-doped body Togawa Yosuke rolled several times on the ground. His posture was extremely embarrassing, and he even made a muffled sound because of pain.

At this moment, Philip's voice sounded from Kamen Rider W's armor: "It's almost time to destroy the Magma memory and end the battle."

And the voice of Zuo Shotaro also came: "The missing boyfriend is actually the real culprit in the building melting case...

"How do I tell Marina about this fact so that she can accept it..."
