DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

Xia Jia nodded: "It was my recommendation."

Miwako Sato closed the file: "The reason? According to our understanding, you shouldn't have any dealings with Mr. Mori. You bought the izakaya downstairs from the Mori Detective Agency a week ago, so the property shouldn't have been transferred yet."

Xia Jia raised his eyebrows: "You can think of it as me buying an izakaya specifically to pursue this lady, hoping for a romantic encounter?"

Rui Tachibana was startled.

But things quickly stabilized. If this person wanted to harm him, he would have simply gone along with it that day.

Officer Sato slightly raised his head and stared into Shaka's eyes:

"Teacher Xia, this is a police station. What you say can be submitted as evidence, which could make you a suspect."

Xia Jia shrugged: "I really want to tell you the reason, but just two hours ago, I made an agreement with someone not to tell you."

"Who?" Sato's eyes sharpened.

Xia Jia just looked at Officer Sato with amusement.

“Me?” Sato’s beady eyes popped out.

But she quickly recalled the confidentiality agreement she had signed with him...

"You mean, the reason is related to that kind of thing?"

Sato's expression turned serious, his back straightened, and he spoke clearly and distinctly:

“You can explain the specifics to me. This is considered intelligence gathering for the special task force, and it falls under official duties.”

Xia Jia glanced at Tachibana Rui.

Sato understood: "Miss Tachibana, could you wait outside for a moment?"

Rui Tachibana rubbed the corner of her clothes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can I know what happened to Shu Hagiwara?"

Sato pondered for a few seconds, then said seriously, "He's dead. Murder. His body was dismembered into more than a dozen pieces. Based on the information you provided, it's probably a crime of passion."

Tachibana Rui was startled and covered her mouth, exclaiming, "Could it be... my sister?"

Sato smiled and said, "No, the time of death was a weekday. Your sister was at school and didn't have time to commit the crime."

Rui Tachibana breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Natsumi, and went out.

"Alright, little one. Although I'm quite surprised that you've become a great writer at such a young age, now you can tell me your reasons, right?"

"He was with his girlfriend this morning, and then he changed to someone else this afternoon. Are all middle school students these days so precocious?"

Xia Jia rolled her eyes: "That's still much better than being almost 30 and still not being able to get married."

Sato's forehead vein throbbed, and his hand gripping the pen clicked crisply: "Alright, tell me your reason for having Tachibana Rui contact Detective Mouri."

Shaka shrugged: "Actually, I have connections with Detective Mori. My housekeeper is Miss Mori's classmate."

Are you showing off?

"of course not."

Xia Jia shrugged: "I was just afraid you wouldn't believe me."

"Say!"

Shaka countered, "Don't you think that eight out of ten recent cases are related to Mr. Mori?"

"Hmm?" Sato tilted his head.

That seems to be the case...

The case involving Kogoro Mouri's absence also involves the children of the Mouri family.

"You mean, Kogoro Mouri has superpowers? He can track down murder cases?"

Xia Jia nodded: "You can also understand it as, when people are around him, their emotions will be affected and become extreme. Grudges that can usually be forgiven will erupt because of this, thus leading to a murder case."

Sato took a breath: "This is too fake!"

"Where's Hagiwara Shu? How did he die?"

Sato's expression froze: "A crime of passion... It was a film club at a school. He used to be a teacher there. Because of his ambiguous relationship with a teacher, a girl named Atsuko eventually jumped off a building."

“We are now investigating the other members of that film club. The killer should be among them.”

"Then it all makes sense." Xia Jia spread his hands: "The grudge has been going on for so many years, and it just happened to erupt today. Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?"

Sato stared at Shaka's face: "So, you deliberately used Mr. Mori's rules to murder Mr. Hagiwara?"

Shaka's face fell: "Don't say that. Uncle Mori goes to so many places every day, what does that have to do with me? Besides, unless that person is so bad that they need to be stabbed, that 'death aura' won't work on them."

Shaka crossed her arms and said, "I think if you were police officers, you would be quite safe around Uncle Mori."

"Just a heads up, if you ever encounter a time bomb, a train bomb, or any kind of bomb, bring Kogoro Mouri with you. If that doesn't work, bring that kid next to him. It might save your lives."

Sato seemed skeptical: "Is it really that strange?"

Shaka gave her a "you've hit the jackpot" look: "This is information that even the Special Class doesn't know about."

At that moment, there was a knock on the interrogation room door, and a policeman entered with a piece of intelligence.

"Found it. The members of the film club have arranged to have a gathering at the Suzuki family's manor villa today."

"Unfortunately, it's a mountainous area, a blind spot for surveillance, and the satellite signal is weak, so we can't make contact."

Xia Jia glanced at the address and felt the environment looked somewhat familiar...

"That wasn't... the bandage murder case at the mountain villa?"

"What murder case?" Sato Miwako asked seriously. "And what do you know?"

Xia Jia smiled and said, "It's nothing. You know I'm the author, so I subconsciously filled in the blanks in my mind."

"According to my logic, that person should kill the guy who forced that Dunzi to his death because of what happened back then."

"Perhaps for other reasons, the murderous intent will amplify infinitely, leading to the killing of all witnesses."

Xia Jia pointed to the cliff at the edge of the villa, and the only path leading to the outside world.

"This is clearly a detective story set in a snow-covered castle. There are eight participants in the game, plus one werewolf. Only by finding the werewolf hiding among the crowd can they escape the villa alive."

"So, what do you want to say?" Sato asked modestly.

Xia Jia scratched his head: "I think the special class seems to be over. This is most likely a paranormal event."

Chapter 259 The Capture Plan for Ability Users

Sakura City, Shinjuku-cho, basement of a research institute.

The room was windowless, dark, and cold. There were two beds in the room, and next to the beds was equipment for monitoring vital signs.

In the quiet room, the beeping of a heart rate monitor could be heard.

Two men were lying on the bed.

The man with long white hair slowly opened his eyes.

A woman stood in the shadows of the room. She had long, wavy blonde hair, delicate features, and wore a black leather jacket and a small top hat.

She held a cigarette in one hand, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Oh, you're awake, Gin. Congratulations, the surgery was a success, you're a girl now."

Gin paused for a moment, then his expression quickly darkened: "Vermouth, I remember telling you not to make such pointless jokes with me."

Vermouth took another drag of her cigarette, her eyes alluring: "The doctor said your kidneys have suffered irreparable damage and are no longer functional."

Her gaze shifted downwards: "Are you alright?"

Gin slowly got up, pulled out the IV drip, stood in front of the mirror, looking at his face as his hair turned from blond to white. He was depressed and said with an icy expression, "As long as I can still fire a gun, nothing else matters."

"Tsk." Vermouth: "Kidney deficiency is not just a manifestation of a man's ability; it will affect his physical strength, power, and everything else."

"Mind your own business..." Gin's cold gaze swept over them.

Vermouth approached Gin and blew smoke from her mouth in his face: "This wasn't my idea. It was the Boss's decision."

“From now on, Rum will take over most of your work.”

Gin changed his clothes, turned around and grinned maliciously: "Rum, can that idiot handle those rats in the organization?"

Vermouth stubbed out her cigarette and exhaled the last puff of smoke.

"Don't worry, the organization has no intention of dismissing you; it's just that you're being reassigned. The boss has launched a new plan. From now on, most of the organization's missions will revolve around this plan."

"what's the plan?"

"Do you know what a superpowered person is?"

“I see…” Gin seemed to understand.

During his battle with Kato Megumi, the opponent displayed many abilities that defied common sense. This is why Gin ultimately chose to flee, resorting to threats.

He wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of, but as long as he could save his life, he would naturally seek revenge later.

Just you wait, I'll never forget your face...

Gin fell silent as he thought about this.
