Chapter 108: The

A police officer who is too upright doesn't live long.

Ren Amamiya couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Miwako Sato, the heroine of the Metropolitan Police Love Story.

She is a quite upright policewoman herself; the only time she is relatively impulsive is when facing the murderer who killed the police officer she once liked.

But those are normal circumstances.

After all, seeking revenge for a grudge is only normal.

The more upright a police officer is, the more impulsive they will be in such moments.

Because the more upright a police officer is, the more they can see through that darkness.

Yet, often because of this clarity, an upright police officer will feel increasingly powerless.

They will clearly discover one thing: uprightness is useless.

The higher one goes, the more one needs to climb that greasy pole of power.

Often, after their hands are stained with grease, those individuals will also choose to wallow in the mire.

That is why Miwako Sato’s father was not given important responsibilities while he was alive.

A logical result.

This is the same situation as Miwako Sato; she is not suited to stand behind the scenes. Her future result will be to rely on the shade of her deceased father to obtain a position as a police inspector working on the front lines.

Wanting to take another step up is almost an unrealistic thing.

But these are words Ren Amamiya will not say.

After all, some things do not need an outsider like him to gossip about.

A person's character cannot be changed by someone else saying a few words.

Rather than saying too much and causing people to grumble, sometimes remaining silent is best.

"Officer Sato, I won't disturb your work anymore."

"……Ah, wait."

Just as Ren Amamiya was preparing to leave, Miwako Sato suddenly thought of something and stopped him.

She found a business card on her person.

"If you have similar discoveries in the future, you can contact me."

"I operate alongside Inspector Megure and am responsible for the work here in Tokyo."

Ren Amamiya took the business card and glanced at it; it had a name and work location written on it, as well as a private phone number on the back.

"Officer Sato, you and Inspector Megure are very much alike."

"???"

"Your working style is very similar to that Inspector Megure."

Ren Amamiya did not offer further explanation.

"I will contact you if I discover more things in the future."

"Though I think there might be many situations where I have to contact you in the future."

"But I would prefer to have a life that isn't disturbed."

"If you can give me a guarantee, I will contact you whenever I run into certain matters."

Although Miwako Sato didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, she still agreed with a smile.

"Of course, no problem. I can guarantee that no one will disturb your life."

Words without hypocrisy; perhaps only at times like this does an upright police officer make one feel exceptionally comfortable.

"Good."

"As long as you don't leak my name, I will contact you first whenever I discover certain situations."

Saying this, Ren Amamiya turned and reached his hand out toward Miwako Sato.

Facing this situation, the slightly older Miwako Sato also felt the unusual nature of the boy before her.

But this request was not a bad thing.

She did not hesitate to shake that hand.

"Then it's a promise."

"Mm, it's a promise."

After setting the agreement, the two tacitly let go of their hands.

"Then, Officer Sato, I'll head back to rest first."

"Mm."

Watching the back of Ren Amamiya as he left, Miwako Sato always felt this boy was very unusual.

"Come to think of it, they are all in the same club, yet it seems only Mr. Mouri's daughter and this boy have no so-called background."

But Miwako Sato knew that Mr. Mouri's daughter and Sonoko Suzuki had been childhood friends since they were small.

So, to sum up, it seems that the most abrupt person in this team is this boy who has no background at all.

In a team of well-known young ladies, there is a boy?

And this boy is a person with no background at all.

This looks very wrong.

The most critical thing is that the attitude of that young lady Sonoko Suzuki towards this boy is also very good, which is quite unusual.

So, is this boy ordinary except for his background?

Miwako Sato inadvertently got an answer.

Ren Amamiya, who returned to the living room, was met with everyone's gaze.

"The situation is very stable."

"The police have completed the arrest of the masterminds, and the next step is to arrest the other drug dealers hidden in the back mountain."

"Although the drug dealers have many illegal weapons in their hands, this time they are facing a well-trained and well-equipped special force."

"The result will not have any changes."

He took out tarot cards from the Source Castle.

After shuffling, he randomly drew three cards.

They were the Star (upright), Death (upright), and the World (upright).

The tarot indicates that everything is moving along the established track; the failure of the drug dealers is an inevitable result, and the police successfully seized a large amount of drugs.

In the confrontation between the two sides with different situations, the advantage is almost occupied by the police.

In such a situation, the drug dealers will not have a chance to turn the tables.

Just after completing a simple divination, Ren Amamiya sighed helplessly.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that we would encounter such a thing during our first club activity."

"Amamiya, Amamiya!"

Before this apology could be accepted by others, Chika Fujiwara jumped up with excitement.

"Has this story been recorded?"

Ren Amamiya thought for a while and nodded slightly.

"Indeed there is."

"My memory of this story is quite deep."

"Then you didn't think of it before?"

"Indeed I didn't."

Chika Fujiwara immediately became interested.

"Is it because the story was changed?"

"The story has indeed changed, but it should be more realistic."

"The story I know should be that the village head of Tsukikage Island united with some people to buy drugs through someone as a channel for sale."

"And that person decided not to do it anymore after his conscience was awakened after a few times."

"Unfortunately, that person knew too much, so he was burned to death in his own home by the village head and his gang, together with his wife and children."

Chika Fujiwara nodded slightly; this indeed sounded like the premise for revenge in a normal story.

"So, the man who helped the village head buy drugs also had a child who was not by his side because of poor health, and luckily escaped a disaster."

"Then that child, after some investigation, knew the reason why his parents were killed back then, and now he has come back for revenge, right?"

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

"I knew it was such a story!"

Chika Fujiwara looked as if she had expected it; if such a revenge story wasn't arranged like this, then there wouldn't be any revenge scenes.

"Then, what about that child who luckily escaped?"

"Hmm..."

Ren Amamiya paused for a few seconds, then used his spirituality to sketch the image of a mature woman in the air.

"It's probably like her."

"She's very beautiful... eh?"

Chika Fujiwara paused; she reacted, what Amamiya said just now seemed to be him.

She looked at the mature woman sketched in the air in astonishment.

"He is that boy?"
