Chapter 14: Akiko thinking – the MC aura

Tadashi immediately took out his phone and found a familiar number. Seeing this number, he unconsciously smiled confidently and dialled.

“Ti… Ti… Ti…”

“Tadashi? Is anything wrong? Why are you calling me?” On the other end of the line came the sound of a girl’s voice; however, that voice was extremely strong and confident.

“Akiko, I want to report something, however, I hope you won’t mention my name.”

“Hm? What? Is someone bullying you?” Akiko’s voice, which was filled with worry, resounded.

Tadashi smiled, he knew the fish had taken the bait.

“It’s not exactly a threat, however, if that person knows that I’m going to call the police, he’ll definitely start a fight with me, and my life will be threatened.”

“Tadashi, don’t worry.” Akiko immediately reassured him and added: “In this city, no one will be able to threaten or harm you. I will protect you.”

Tadashi smiled and said: “Hahaha. Hearing this from you is reassuring.”

“So… what do you want to report?” Akiko asked.

“I want to report someone with a gun in the city, he even shot and wounded two people.”

“What?! Are you telling the truth? Someone has a gun, and that person also shot and injured two people.”

“That’s right.”

“Are you sure? Did you see it with your own eyes?”

Tadashi was a little quiet. He didn’t actually see Hikaru, he just deduced this from the words of the other two thugs. However, his intuition told him that Hikaru did indeed have a gun.

Akiko continued: “Tadashi, let me remind you that slandering people is not a small crime, and making false statements that someone used a gun is a very serious crime.”

Tadashi sighed and said, “Akiko, you should know that I am a good citizen, and all I want is to make this society peaceful. I am also a businessman, and if the society is peaceful, the economy will develop, and I am the one who benefits the most from it.”

“I am also not idle enough to slander someone if I have no proof. Besides, this person is very suspicious, if it were someone else, I wouldn’t report this to you, but since it’s this person, I am 90% sure that it’s true.”

Akiko remained silent, she seemed to be aware of who Tadashi was referring to.

“You mean… Hikaru.”

“That’s right. Akiko, I was at the hospital, and I heard two thugs say that they were shot and wounded by Hikaru. But maybe they were intimidated by Hikaru, so they didn’t dare to report this.”

Akiko immediately replied, “Okay, I will immediately go to the hospital and investigate this. What hospital are you in?”

“The main hospital of the city.”

“Okay, I’m busy, I’ll be there in 30 minutes.”

“Good.”

The call ended, and Tadashi’s face showed a cold smile.ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

…

At the police office, Akiko fell into deep thought after turning off her phone.

Akiko is a girl who is about 175 cm tall. She has an extremely attractive appearance with long legs that are not inferior to any model’s, and her body curves are also extremely majestic.

Her white skin, red lips, long curly black hair, and black irises further enhance her stubborn personality.

Akiko frowned, thought for a long time, then stood up and went straight to the captain’s office.

The man in the room was also startled when Akiko entered the room, he sighed and said: “Akiko, how many times have I said… before entering my office, knock on the door.”

This middle-aged man is the captain of the 7th police division, where Akiko works, Morital.

Akiko immediately shouted: “Captain, there’s an emergency, I don’t think I need to knock.”

Morital sighed, as if he were used to this and didn’t intend to blame Akiko: “Okay, what’s up?”

Akiko immediately said, “Someone reported that Hikaru used a gun to attack other people.”

Morital frowned upon hearing that. Anyway, this name was too famous, who didn’t know that Hikaru was the son of Hodai, the richest man in this city.

Of course, Hikaru’s popularity wasn’t good, it was bad. Everyone knew that Hikaru was from a rich family, so he didn’t study hard, even at 25 years old. He didn’t want to work; he only went to bars, drank, and indulged in other bad things.

However, the police could not arrest him either. After all, Hikaru was just drinking, speeding, or teasing other girls.

He didn’t steal or kill, and he didn’t even fight with other people.

After all, everyone knew he was Hodai’s son, everywhere he went, there were bodyguards by his side, and no one was stupid enough to cause trouble for Hikaru.

Morital sighed and said, “Akiko, work can’t be done by instinct or emotion. I know you don’t like rich kids, especially Hikaru, but you also need evidence and investigation time, you can’t jump to conclusions because of one person’s words.”

“Besides, the person who reported you might also want to harm Hikaru? You should know that gun regulation in our country is extremely strict, so no matter how rich Hikaru is, he can’t afford a gun.”

Akiko frowned, her face turned cold, and her voice was full of justice as she said: “I can’t tell you the name of the person who reported this matter, but I guarantee that this person is very trustworthy.”

Morital stared into Akiko’s eyes and said, “Akiko, you don’t even need to tell me, I know it’s Tadashi.”

“How do you know?”

Morital snorted: “Huh! You also look down on me, even though I’m old It’s not like I don’t know anything. Lately, you and Tadashi have been behaving like lovers.”

“You two even date after work, even the blind can see that you two are in love.”

Akiko’s face turned red, and she immediately explained, “No, I just feel that I should repay him. After all, he was the one who invited me to dinner, so…”

“Okay, I get it.” Morital immediately interrupted: “However, I hope you don’t put your emotions into your work. I know you trust Tadashi, however, his relationship with Hikaru is special, and I think he’s just slandering Hikaru.”

“Anyway, he’s also the son of a rich family, don’t you hate him? Why are you always fighting with Hikaru?”

“Impossible!” Akiko shouted, and she retorted: “Tadashi is a person of integrity and probity. He is different from Hikaru. Tadashi built his career on his own, and Hikaru only knows how to enjoy and dissipate things.”

“Besides, Tadashi also…”

“I know! He even saved you from death, didn’t he?” Morital shook his head and said: “I know what he does, of course I see it. But work is work, and emotions are emotions, we can’t let our emotions affect our work.”

“No matter how much you trust Tadashi, you still have to follow the rules. The person reporting the crime must go to the police office to make a file, then investigate, find evidence…etc.”

Hearing that, Akiko gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as if she was very angry. Morital, seeing her expression, only sighed: “Haizzz, Tadashi said that he witnessed Hikaru use a gun to shoot people?”

Akiko was silent for a moment and then shook her head. After all, for someone who loves justice like her, she can’t lie.

When Morital heard that, he shrugged his shoulders and said: “Then what are you going to use to arrest Hikaru? After listening to Tadashi’s words, you made your own decision?”

“But Tadashi said that two people were shot by Hikaru, and they are being treated at the main hospital. It was they who said that they were shot by Hikaru.”

“So what?” Morital calmly asked.

“Heh?! I mean…”

Morital shook his head: “Why didn’t those two report it to the police, but Tadashi reported it? Did he see those two get shot by Hikaru with his own eyes?”

“Or did those two ask Tadashi to call the police?”

“Or did Tadashi just hear them talking and make a conjecture, then he told you and you believed it to be true?”

Akiko heard Morital’s words and fell into deep thought, she didn’t know how to refute his words.

“Akiko, I remind you that Tadashi is not a good person either. It is possible that he is taking advantage of people.”

“Impossible!” Akiko shouted, “My intuition is very accurate.”

Morital shook his head: “Akiko, solving crimes is not done through intuition but through evidence and witnesses. If we just rely on a few words and intuition, there would be no crime in this world because everyone would have been caught.”

“We even get others to be wrongly convicted because of our emotions and intuition.”

Akiko didn’t seem to give up and shouted: “But Tadashi saved me, he must be a good person. What does he gain by slandering Hikaru when he already has everything.”

“But he has no inheritance.” Morital spoke coldly, and his words silenced her.

That’s right, Morital and the others still didn’t know that Hikaru gave up his inheritance. In their minds, Hikaru was Hodai’s rightful heir.

Perhaps Tadashi wanted to slander or harm Hikaru. So that if Hikaru was sent to prison or there was a stain on his record, he would lose his inheritance.

Akiko clenched her fists until it turned white. At this point, Morital could only shake his head and say: “Okay, if you want to investigate, I won’t hinder you. You can investigate but you can’t rush to conclusions, everything must be decided by me.”

“But… that would give Hikaru enough time to dispose of the evidence.”

“Discard evidence? Akiko, your words prove that you are having unfounded suspicions.” Morital countered: “You haven’t investigated, but you have jumped to conclusions, why do you think Hikaru is in possession of a gun?”

“Akiko, in your mind, you thought that Hikaru committed a crime, so even if you investigate, you will try to find evidence to prove that your thinking is correct. Those proofs are not objective at all, do you understand?”

Akiko was startled upon hearing that.

“Good, remember what I said, every decision, conclusion, and judgment carried out due to the investigation requires my approval.”

Akiko nodded and sadly turned her head to leave the room.
