Chapter 141: Iron Shirt! Comes with divine protection!

From beginning to end, Hoshino Ki had only said the words "Iron Shirt."

Everything else was answered for him by Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

As for things like "Iron Shirt" spoken by Hoshino Ki himself,

Miwako Sato hadn't written them down at all.

Because it was too mysterious...

It was impossible for anyone to believe it.

These notes had to be submitted to superiors for review and then filed.

If she submitted it, she would just get a good scolding.

According to Miwako Sato's understanding,

although Chinese martial arts have existed for thousands of years

and have a very long history,

their development to this day has lost its original powerful offensive strength, and in the contemporary era, it is aimed at physical fitness.

There are very few truly inherited Chinese martial arts.

Even if Iron Shirt hadn't been lost,

judging by Hoshino Ki's nationality and his age of 17,

he had absolutely no opportunity to come into contact with Chinese martial arts.

How could he possess thousands of years of Chinese martial arts power?

This record was completely meaningless.

"Rip!"

Miwako Sato tore off the record in front of her,

then crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

"You can go now!"

Miwako Sato put the pencil on the notebook,

stood up, and issued an eviction order to the three.

"What does that mean? You don't believe what Hoshino-kun said?"

Sonoko Suzuki moved her hands from her cheeks to her sides,

turned to face Miwako Sato, and looked at her sideways.

As expected of the daughter of the richest man, her strong aura instantly pressed toward the other party.

"What do you think?"

As a criminal police officer, Miwako Sato's aura wasn't weak either.

She stared directly at Sonoko Suzuki.

The gazes of the two turned into two bolts of lightning in the air,

"crackle-popping" as they competed with each other in the room.

Neither would give way.

"Well! Alright, you two!"

Ran Mouri stood between them, hurriedly trying to soothe them from both sides.

One was a criminal police officer from the station,

the other was the daughter of the richest man.

The powerful aura of the two erupted in the room with a dazzling light.

A war between women was imminent.

"As a criminal police officer, how can you say Hoshino-kun doesn't know Chinese kung fu without verifying it? This is your dereliction of duty!"

"Understand? Your dereliction of duty!"

Sonoko Suzuki had some knowledge.

After all, she was the daughter of Japan's richest man;

she could learn a lot of social knowledge just by being exposed to it.

"What? I'd like to ask this student not to be unreasonable, okay?"

"How do you verify Iron Shirt? Do you want to stab him on the spot?"

"If he doesn't die, it can indeed prove that what he said is true."

"But what if he does die? Who takes the responsibility?"

What Miwako Sato said was indeed correct.

After all, the cost of using a body as an experimental subject to verify truth or falsehood is too high.

Her job is a criminal police officer, not Sun Wukong.

Catching criminals and protecting victims is what she should do.

Now that the victim hasn't been harmed,

and the criminal has been caught,

other things on paper aren't that important.

"I'll take the responsibility!"

Sonoko Suzuki had gone crazy.

She trusted Hoshino Ki 100%.

Even if Hoshino Ki said he could shoot down the sun, she would believe him.

"Sonoko! Alright, don't make a scene, we should go!"

Ran Mouri didn't want to make a big deal out of it,

so she pulled Hoshino Ki with one hand and dragged Sonoko Suzuki with the other toward the door.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to greet Miwako Sato:

"Sorry to bother you, Officer Sato!"

"Damn it, Ran, don't pull me!"

Sonoko Suzuki was indignant!

While being dragged by Ran Mouri, she still waved her fists from time to time.

Looking at Hoshino Ki, he had an expression of having no desires or demands,

letting Ran Mouri pull him away.

"Goodbye!"

Just as he was about to walk out of the office, he turned his head and greeted Miwako Sato.

"Oh... goodbye!"

Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment,

meeting Hoshino Ki's dark eyes,

then raised her hand to say goodbye to him.

The three walked out of the police station.

The course of events was already known from Miwako Sato's description just now.

That knife-wielding girl was the childhood sweetheart of Koki Oyamada.

She had been secretly in love with him since she was a child.

The two often went to school and came home together,

and Oyamada would confide in her whenever he had something on his mind.

But recently,

Oyamada had become more and more mysterious.

Not only did he not go to school with her,

but even when they talked, the atmosphere would become strange.

The girl thought that some huge change had happened in Oyamada's family,

because she already knew that Oyamada had sold his house.

When she took the initiative to find Oyamada to ask,

Oyamada suddenly changed his temperament and warned her not to meddle in other people's business.

Just like that, the relationship between the two was about to step into the ranks of strangers.

Just yesterday,

the girl saw the scene where Oyamada attacked Hoshino Ki and was kicked to the ground.

Her heart ached terribly,

so she investigated in the dark.

Knowing the truth, she was heartbroken.

On one hand, she felt sad that Oyamada had been deceived;

on the second hand, she felt sad that Oyamada had no feelings for her at all;

and thirdly, she felt sad that Oyamada was about to become a woman.

She believed that her lover had been ruined by Hoshino Ki,

so she held a grudge against Hoshino Ki.

After thinking it over several times,

the girl decided to take revenge for Oyamada,

and thus came the scene of the knife attack.

"It was really thrilling, thanks to Hoshino-kun's divine protection, otherwise..."

Sonoko Suzuki was full of worship for Hoshino Ki.

"Divine... protection?"

Ran Mouri walked quietly beside the two.

Although she also believed that Hoshino Ki couldn't be lying,

but...

just as Miwako Sato said,

if it were true that Hoshino Ki knew Iron Shirt,

it would definitely go through a series of verifications and experiments.

If it were an experiment at the police station, that would be fine,

but what if he were dragged to some unknown organization?

The consequences would be unimaginable.

So, regardless of whether what Hoshino Ki said was true or not,

it couldn't be widely publicized.

"Sonoko, it's better to keep this matter a secret..."

Ran Mouri's intelligence suddenly came online.

"Eh? Why?"

Sonoko Suzuki looked up at Ran Mouri in confusion.

"With Hoshino-kun's physical strength, if some evil organization finds out..."

Ran Mouri suddenly looked serious,

pulled Sonoko Suzuki over, and started whispering.

"Ah, I understand, Ran!"

Sonoko Suzuki seemed to think of something terrible,

and instantly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Although the two girls were high school students,

they were not ignorant of the dark side of society.

They certainly knew the consequences of someone exposing their extraordinary talents too early.

Hoshino Ki saw Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki whispering and leaned in.

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah? Nothing, we didn't say anything."

Both looked nervous.

"Oh!"

Hoshino Ki was calm,

his gaze fixed straight on the two.

"Ah! We were talking about going out to play next week, do you want to come along? You can bring Akemi-san and Ai-chan too!"

A drop of sweat seeped from Ran Mouri's forehead.

"Sure!"

Hoshino Ki blinked and agreed.

"Eh?"

Sonoko Suzuki was stunned for a moment,

then she winked at Ran Mouri secretly:

"Ran, did you just say where we were going to play?"
