New Tokyo.

2-chome, Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku.

This place is where important departments of Wano gather. Across the street to the east is the Ministry of Justice, to the south is the High Court, to the west is the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, to the south is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a little further south is the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

To the north is the Sakurada Gate of the Wano Imperial Palace.

As for the building with the cherry blossom emblem in the middle, it is the Metropolitan Police Department main store that once appeared in Wano Country morning dramas and various comics, film and television works.

...

The third floor of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Search the office of the principal of Section 1.

"You mean...since September this year, that is, two months ago, there have been dozens of cases of missing teenagers in the city?" A tall and thin young man wore a navy blue protective clothing that was very different from ordinary police uniforms.

Wearing a windbreaker and uniform, his eyes under his silver-rimmed glasses were slightly evil.

Sitting in front of him was Masato Ishikawa, the section chief of the 1st Investigation Division. He was a thirty-nine-year-old middle-aged police officer, but his rank was the same as that of the young and promising Captain Sugita Tsukasa of Team 13 of the 3rd Investigation Team.

Faced with Sugita Tsukasa's aggressive questioning, Ishikawa Masato calmly picked up his work thermos and took a sip of water. After putting it down, he looked into the other person's eyes and said, "No... to be precise, it was early September, and it has been three months since then.

It’s been months.”

"Three months, so many missing cases, and not a single one has been closed?" Tsukasa Sugita lowered his head slightly, "I understand your pressure, but...is this a bit too exaggerated?"

Ishikawa Masato shook his head and looked away from Sugita Tsukasa, "I don't think it's an exaggeration. In our line of work, you should know that tens of millions of people go missing in the world every year, and a few dozen people only occupy the first ten million percent of them."

one."

"Those are not data." Sugita said with a slightly cold tone.

"Those can only be data." Ishikawa Masato raised his head.

He silently stared at the policeman who was almost ten years younger than him, and suddenly sighed and said, "Captain Sugita, you should know what the order and stability of Wano are based on. There are many things that cannot be investigated.

It’s not that the case cannot be investigated, it’s that it cannot be investigated because the water here is too deep..."

"I am clear."

Tsukasa Sugita nodded to interrupt him, then shook his head again and said in a stiff tone, "But this does not mean that I accept it. All subsequent disappearance cases will be sent to me, and the Thirteenth Team will be responsible for thorough investigation."

Ishikawa Masato was stunned when he heard this.

After the air was silent for a moment, he suddenly looked up at Sugita Tsukasa and asked, "Where are the people above you? Does Team Leader Tokugawa know you did this?"

Tokugawa Ritora.

Leader of the third investigation team.

Title: Chief of Police.

There are nine levels of ability users in this world. The lower three levels are ordinary ability users, and the middle three levels are super power users. However, Tokugawa Kuritora is an absolute ability user in the seventh level and fourth level!

At the same time, he is also the ability controller with talent serial number 25 [King Kong].

It can be said that his strong personal strength has established the status of the Third Investigation Team in the Metropolitan Police Department. Even in front of the Metropolitan Police Department’s top officer, the Police Director, it has a huge say. In other words, as long as Sugita Tsukasa moves out of this place.

The Metropolitan Police Department is a mountain, and Masato Ishikawa of the Investigation Division will definitely not say anything more.

However, Sugitaji shook his head.

"Team Leader Tokugawa doesn't know."

Tokugawa Ritora was someone he respected, and his character also determined that he was not someone who could just use others as a shield.

After a moment of silence, Sugita Shido said, "But what I did was officially to implement the belief of Captain Tokugawa - the sword of justice, without haze."

Justice?

Ishikawa Masato stared at the promising young captain in front of him and suddenly laughed, "Captain Sugita really looks like a friend of mine back then. Alas, it's a pity that he has retired from the police force now, but if I have the opportunity to introduce you to him,

I think you will definitely have a great time talking to each other."

Dong dong dong—!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Please come in."

Ishikawa Masato said casually.

The door was pushed open, and a policeman ran in with a file in his arms. He stood at attention and saluted, then glanced at Tsukasa Sugita who was sitting next to him. After receiving permission from Masato Ishikawa's eyes, he reported:

"Section Chief, there was another missing case in Ogawa Town, Edogawa District yesterday. The person who reported the case was a single father. The missing girl was six years old at school..."

"A six-year-old girl..."

After listening to the report, Ishikawa Masato subconsciously glanced at the photo frame placed on the desk - in the photo, he was wearing a heroic police uniform, with a five or six-year-old girl next to him with a bright smile. After divorcing his wife three years ago,

Now he is also a single father.

If one day his daughter disappears, then there is no doubt that he may be so crazy that he will dig up the entire New Tokyo and search every corner.

"I think I understand Captain Sugita's determination."

Immediately, Ishikawa Masato said in a joking tone to the reporting subordinate, smiling, "Starting from the case in your hands, I will unpack it for everyone in the future. All cases of missing teenagers in the city will be handed over to Ten

Team Three takes over.”

"Ah? Yes!" The subordinate was stunned, but still obeyed the order and handed the file to Sugita Tsukasa.

Tsukasa Sugita took the file and glanced at the bald middle-aged man sitting behind the desk holding a thermos cup - in his mind, this guy was a well-known veteran in the investigation divisions of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division.

In recent years, he has taken no part in the internal struggles of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Before walking into this office, he was already prepared to return without success, but he didn't expect that the final development of the matter was unexpected.

"Thanks."

Sugita Tsukasa nodded.

Having achieved his goal, he acted decisively and turned around to leave.

"no need to thank me."

However, Masato Ishikawa shook his head and said something to Sugita when he left, "You should have guessed who is hindering the investigation of the case. You must be prepared to resist pressure in the future."

A heavenly world government?

Tsukasa Sugita muttered silently in his mind, his eyes turned cold, and he walked out of the office without stopping.

One minute later...

The building of the Chiyoda-ku Metropolitan Police Department.

From top to bottom, all the members of Team 13 of the Third Investigation Group were like a compact and compact machine that had the start button pressed, and the gears began to mesh crazily and began to operate at high speed.

...

At the same time, a black stretch car drove into the gate of a villa in Minato District, New Tokyo.

This is a single-family villa along the coast. There are no other houses around. It should be very desolate, but in fact, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the villa, you can see Tokyo Tower and Rainbow, two major landmarks of New Tokyo, at once.

The bridge comes into view together.

At night, when the lights are brightly lit, the lights of Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower are particularly colorful and charming, and the gentle waves lap quietly on the Odaiba coast.

The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful,

It's so beautiful that it can heal people's hearts.

...

However, without warning,

Suddenly there was a girl crying in the villa.

The entrance to the basement of the villa.

A girl who looked like a high school student with a dark gold collar around her neck was about to enter the basement elevator together with the girl with a dull face who was walking in front of her.

The moment the elevator door opened, she suddenly turned around. Her face was covered with snot and tears, and she knelt on the ground with a trembling body and begged a sturdy man behind her, "Please! I don't want my ability anymore, let me go."

Go back! Please... I want to go home!"

There is an obvious black stripe on both sides of the flat nose on the man's face, extending from the corner of his eyes to his mouth. On his head is a pair of light brown cheetah-like ears.

He looked at the girl kneeling on the ground with a ferocious smile on her face, and at some point a tough whip appeared in her hand.

Snapped!

The whip exploded in the air!

In an instant, the girl's clothes were torn apart, revealing a shocking blood mark, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.

"I told you... to shut up! You inferior idiot, you took the initiative to find me in the first place." The man said contemptuously. Seeing the girl lying motionless on the ground, he raised his whip and wanted to continue beating her.

Suddenly, a hoarse and magnetic voice came from behind him, "Dick, have you forgotten the punishment the president gave you yesterday? These are our precious [exhibits]."

The Tianbao man named Dick suddenly turned his head, and a thin figure wearing a white lab coat, a hat and a mask jumped into his eyes. The spectacles refracted by the light blocked his eyes.

Dick's face darkened, then he shrugged nonchalantly and threw away the whip in his hand, "Doctor, you know... I just want to give these inferior races a long memory, that's all."
