Chapter 178

“However, those who hurt Marina and Togawa Yosuke did receive the punishment they deserve.

"Let the guys from the Metropolitan Police Department shine occasionally. Next, the tough detectives from Narumi Detective Agency will show their true strength..."

The corners of Zuo Shotaro's mouth raised slightly.

After experiencing the baptism of his childhood sweetheart being the real culprit, Shotaro Zuo felt that his level of tough guy had improved too much...

Now he is definitely a real tough guy!

Then, Shotaro Zuo continued to write the report.

“In addition, as the real culprits in related cases, Marina and Togawa Yosuke were also interrogated.

“The interrogation process was generally smooth.

"They clearly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Therefore, the [Museum] organization that sells Gaia memories in the Wind City came into the sight of the Metropolitan Police Department...

“However, there are still small episodes that occur.

“When asked about the information related to Huang Jinqing, Togawa Yosuke chose to remain silent.

"Considering that Huang Jinqing and Togawa Yosuke actually played a large positive role in the incident, the Abnormal Incident Investigation Section finally chose to handle it specially and did not pursue this matter to the end.

"After that, Marina and Togawa Yosuke were also escorted to a special prison specially prepared for adulterated human bodies...

“It is said that there, they can receive special treatment services provided by the Metropolitan Police to cure various symptoms caused by the erosion of Gaia’s memory on the body.

"However, as a price...

"All data during the treatment will be recorded and used by the Shiraishi police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department to study matters related to Gaia memory.

“Not only that, occasionally when Officer Shiraishi needs it, Togawa Yosuke and Tsumura Marina need to cooperate with Officer Shiraishi to conduct some special tests.

"Judging from this result, it seems that the Metropolitan Police takes the matter of Gaia memory very seriously.

"Not only that, I heard that the Shiraishi police officer is still very busy and working overtime to develop a special device that can counter the [smoke gun]...

"The Abnormal Event Investigation Division, pay special attention to [King Jin Qing] and the newly appeared [Kamen Rider Nasca]."

Then, Shotaro Zuo stretched slightly: "On the other hand, Narumi Detective Agency has also undergone some simple changes..."

And just when Shotaro Zuo was about to use a typewriter to record the changes in Narumi Detective Agency, the door of Narumi Detective Agency was suddenly pushed open.

Shotaro Zuo raised his head.

And Phillip also turned his head.

But at this moment, Asukiko Narumi pushed open the door of Narumi Detective Agency and appeared in the Narumi Detective Agency happily holding a wooden notice board.

"Qiang Qiang!"

Akiko Narumi smiled and showed the contents on the notice board to Shotaro Zuo and Philip.

Zuo Shotaro frowned slightly and looked at the notice board.

【Narumi Detective Agency】

Pure white background, dark text.

The writing is vigorous and powerful, full of tough guy style.

[Director: Arakiko Narumi]

The background color is the same as blueberries, and the text is the same as strawberries.

The text is cute and cute, full of girly style.

Looking at the notice board in front of him, which was made up of two parts with completely different styles, Zuo Shotaro's eyebrows were twisted like his mood.

At this point, the "tough guy demeanor" accumulated from the moment when he realized that his childhood sweetheart, Mana, was probably the murderer, was finally broken through by Narumi Asukiko's actions.

Shotaro Zuo grabbed the notice board. He collapsed a little and said with a trembling voice: "Hey, wait a minute!

“What’s up with this part about girly style?

“It doesn’t match the style of the office at all, right?

"And [Director: Narumi Asukiko] again?"

At the same time, Phillip held his chin and nodded slightly: "It's a very good mix...

"Speaking of which, it might be very interesting to change the director of the office..."

Asukiko Narumi once again took out the certificate of property rights that she had obtained, and almost slapped the certificate of property rights on Shotaro Zuo's face.

Then, Narumi Asukiko said: "From a legal perspective, Narumi Detective Agency is my property.

“Therefore, I naturally have the power to change directors, appoint and remove directors!

"As for the style not matching...

"If you insist on changing it, you can't make some adjustments..."

Zuo Shotaro frowned slightly.

However, he still accepted the fact that Asukiko Narumi was about to become the new director of Narumi Detective Agency.

It is very reasonable for the uncle's daughter to take back the uncle's property.

As long as I can continue to be a detective.

But the sign...

He nodded slightly: "Let's change it."

He doesn't particularly care who becomes the director...

After all, even if Asukiko Narumi is the director, he is also the only field detective at Narumi Detective Agency.

But he was very concerned about the style of the sign.

Girly style and tough guy style don’t match at all!

What the hell kind of sign is that?

And Narumi Asukiko said: "Since you, a half-time detective, are so willing to consider the company, I seem to have no way of rejecting your kindness..."

Zuo Shotaro nodded slightly.

Asukiko Narumi shook her head slightly: "Originally, after seeing you showing off your touching tough guy demeanor as a half-assed detective, I planned to incorporate your touching tough guy demeanor into the billboard. inside...

"But since the half-baked detective is more concerned about the unity of style and the company's interests...

"Then, let's change everything into girly style!"

After hearing what Narumi Asukiko said, Zuo Shotarou's eyes widened.

Wait, wait!

Is that the one you want to replace? !

Shotaro Zuo stretched out his hand: "No, don't!"

However, at this moment, Narumi Asukiko gently tapped Zuo Shotaro on the head with his slipper.

Narumi Asukiko smiled: "I lied to you.

"You are my father's most proud disciple.

"You are the person he appointed as the acting director.

"Even if you're just a half-assed detective, even if you can only act like a tough guy occasionally...

"I won't give up the [Hard Boiled] that you and your father long for.

“Come on, half-assed detective.

"Maybe one day, I will understand what my father means, and maybe I will hand over the Narumi Detective Agency to you~"

306-Intermission

Sonosaki's house.

Dining room.

As if to hide some ulterior secret, it was a sunny afternoon, but the windows of the Sonosaki restaurant were tightly covered by luxurious curtains, making the restaurant slightly dark... ..

In this dim restaurant, the lit candle became the only light source in the restaurant.

The dim light swayed slightly.

At the same time, the antique gramophone placed in the corner of the restaurant plays classical music from the old era, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

The candlelight illuminated the face of an old man.

The current head of the Sonosaki family.

Sonosaki Ryubei.

But he saw Ryubei Sonosaki slowly stroking the docile and cute little kitten in his arms, and his face was filled with an unpredictable expression.

Beside him, the eldest daughter of the Sonosaki family, Sonosaki Saeko, was sitting there quietly.

She shook her head slightly, her expression also not pretty.

At this moment, the sound of high heels colliding with the ground echoed as they approached the restaurant.

Then, the restaurant door opened.

The second daughter of the Sonosaki family, Sonosaki Wakana walked in.

Sono Saki Wakana.

The radio host of the "Princess Healing" column of Fengdu Radio, the "Princess Wakana".

Looking at the belated Sonosaki Wakana, Sonosaki Saeko frowned and shook her head slightly. She said calmly: "If you were in my company, if you were late like this, you would be fired immediately. of......"

Sonosaki Wakana let out a soft "tsk", and then she replied: "Didn't I tell you in advance, it's the Abnormal Event Investigation Section...

"Obviously I just briefly mentioned things related to Mr. Huang Jin in the radio program, but the people from the Abnormal Event Investigation Section are going to question me...

"So annoying."

After hearing Sonosaki Wakana's complaint, Sonosaki Ryuhei smiled with relief: "The abnormal event investigation class that recently appeared in Fengdu...

"They are really interesting...

"However, at least for now, the small abnormal event investigation class is not enough to compare with the Sonosaki family and the [museum] that has accumulated for a long time...

“They don’t even have the ability to fight against ordinary adulterants, so there is nothing to fear.

"Compared to that unknown organization in the Metropolitan Police Department, I still care more about [Phantom Thief Golden Lord] and that [Kamen Rider Nazca]."

While speaking, Sonosaki Ryuhei also glanced at Sonosaki Saeko who was sitting there, and he said calmly: "The so-called Phantom Thief Huang Jinqing, if he is indeed using Gaia memory, he will probably be [ A Gaia memory like Gold] or [El Dorado]...

“Ancient memories associated with gold.

“Or the legendary Golden Country in South America?

"As for that Kamen Rider Nascar, sure enough, it's [Nasca], ​​the Gaia memory.

"Zezi, I remember that the manufacturing and sales of Gaia memory were handed over to you not long ago...

"Do you have any idea?

"I plan to leave the [museum] to you to run it. I hope you won't disappoint me..."

The atmosphere turned serious.

However, Sonosaki Saeko frowned.

She understood that although her father had left many things to her to handle, to this day, her father still had the final say in the [Museum].

After a moment, Sonosaki Saeko replied: "The power currently used by Phantom Thief Huang Jinqing is not yet clear...

“Although we did produce the [Gold] Gaia memory, we did not sell it, and so far, we have not heard of any theft related to it...

“As for the legendary South American El Dorado, the earth’s memories related to it have not yet been fished out of [the well].

"That Golden Lord...

"Either he is using some special powerful power outside of Gaia's memory...
