Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

"Hmph." Looking at Fujiko with a smile on her face, Shizuka Hiratsuka snorted in annoyance, but still turned around obediently.

Shizuka Hiratsuka also knew that Fujiko was much more skilled than herself in this kind of intelligence gathering. If she could get some useful information from Fujiko, it would be very helpful for her investigation.

Although he had fought with that mysterious woman before, he didn't get any useful information except knowing her fighting strength.

Although Hiratsuka Shengli seriously told himself not to get involved here easily, Hiratsuka Shizuka is not such an obedient person.

Apart from anything else, if the mysterious organization that Shizuka Hiratsuka speculated about continued to commit crimes in the Chiba area, Shizuka Hiratsuka would have to worry more about her friends and relatives.

"After I completed my goal in the Lighthouse Country, I also wanted to take a short break, so I came to Neon to play with Xiaojing~" Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was staring at her face to face, Fujiko naturally reached out her hand to help Shizuka Hiratsuka tidy up her hair that was messed up because of turning around, and said in a soft voice.

"Xiao Jing, you know me well. No matter where I go, safety is my top priority. Before I even arrived in Neon, I entered the dark web of Neon's underground world on the plane."

"I just wanted to take a casual look, but I saw the most popular post recently." With a slight flicker in her eyes, Fujiko looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of her and spoke lightly.

"That's the special murder case in the Chiba area."

"Because Xiaojing lives in Chiba and mentioned the Shoujing Group, I clicked on it and took a look."

"The post revealed very little information. Apart from knowing that your father's Shoujing Group, the largest underworld organization in the Chiba area, and the Chiba police have joined forces to conduct a massive search, there's also some information regarding the body."

"The body is emaciated and missing shin bones. This kind of mark has never appeared in the underground world. At least not yet. No organization or killer I am familiar with has been identified."

"I have offered a reward for any information on the dark web, but the response I received was not very optimistic." The smile on her face slowly disappeared, and Fujiko looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka seriously.

"Then this situation is very likely to be an outcome."

"Has a new mysterious organization chosen the unfortunate Chiba for their experiments?" Rubbing her brows, Shizuka Hiratsuka weakly expressed her inference.

"Yes, and the strength of this organization is very likely not simple." He nodded slightly. This is why Fujiko chose to scare Hiratsuka Shizuka when he appeared again today.

Although he had great confidence in Hiratsuka Shizuka's fighting ability, Fujiko also knew that in this world, if one wanted to plot against or murder someone, no one would care how strong the other person's fighting ability was.

Fujiko didn't want Shizuka Hiratsuka to get into danger because of her carelessness and unfamiliarity with the underground world.

She must be vigilant and remain in awe!

"Ah, this is so annoying. Why doesn't this annoying organization go to the Lighthouse Country to conduct experiments?" Shizuka Hiratsuka rubbed her hair in annoyance. She still trusted Fujiko's words.

Although Fujiko always likes to play tricks on her, Shizuka Hiratsuka believes that she will be honest with her on such crucial matters.

"Don't say that. There are already many such organizations in the Lighthouse Country. It's just that you don't know it, Xiaojing." Seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka throwing a tantrum like a child, Fujiko smiled and stretched out her finger to pinch her nose.

"Moreover, as far as this area is concerned, China's supervision is too strict, and South Korea and North Korea are too backward. The only country that can meet the requirements of those organizations is Japan, an island nation that is convenient for evacuation in case of danger."

"Tsk." Shizuka Hiratsuka made an unhappy sound and slapped away Fujiko's hand that was pinching her nose.

"So there's nothing we can do now?"

"It can be said that for this newly emerging mysterious organization, we can only get more useful information by waiting for them to constantly expose their existence." Holding Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand that was scratching her hair because of irritation, Fujiko said in a gentle but serious tone.

"So Jing baby, you have to stay stable and not rush for success."

"Based on their movements, they don't seem to be the type to attack right at your door. So, Jing, as long as you tell the people you care about to be more careful, there won't be any problems."

"By the way, speaking of interesting replies, I actually got a different answer after I offered a reward." Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka who looked a little depressed, Fujiko decided to tell a funny story to change her mood.

"Oh, what is it?"

"An old man from the underground of Japan sent me a message." Fujiko said with a smile, stroking the back of Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand with her fingers.

"This withered corpse, and the removal of its shin bones, is very similar to the behavior of the monster called Hienmo in Neon Legend~"

PS: If nothing unexpected happens, there will be four updates today. I went to the hospital during the day and was relieved after confirming that it was just a common cold (covering my face)

Although it's still quite uncomfortable, it's better than yesterday. I'll write slowly, and dear readers, don't worry! ~

Chapter 72: Digging Your Own Grave

Shizuka Hiratsuka could be said to have slept quite comfortably last night.

Compared to the previous night at Kiko's house in Lighthouse Kuni, Fujiko was much more obedient last night. She didn't hug herself like an octopus, but just let her left arm slightly numb.

"So, Fujiko, where do you want to go and play?" After a quick wash and a simple breakfast of bread and fried eggs, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the still early time on her phone and asked Fujiko casually.

"Me? It doesn't matter. I'll be interested in any place that Jing baby wants to take me~" Fujiko nodded with a smile, tapping her chin, and lightly threw the question back to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Well, I had thought of this answer before you asked." Shaking his head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had no expectations of Fujiko before asking, sat on a wooden chair, his fingers sliding on his mobile phone.

If I am bored at other times, I would go hiking alone, but I think Fujiko, who is so lazy, would not do such a strenuous task.

shop?

This thought flashed through Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind for a moment before being thrown out of her mind.

Not to mention that Shizuka Hiratsuka herself doesn't like shopping. If she really drags Fujiko shopping, wouldn't Shizuka Hiratsuka, who knows nothing about brands, be very embarrassed?

Although she didn't know where Fujiko bought the clothes she usually wore, Shizuka Hiratsuka could be sure from the material and style of the clothes that they were definitely not ordinary items sold in regular stores.

Moreover, Fujiko, who pursues quality of life, would not settle for ordinary stuff.

Anyway, every time she achieves a goal, Fujiko will have a lot of money to squander.

Well, taking Fujiko out for a drink might be a good idea, but even Shizuka Hiratsuka, who likes drinking, can't take her good friend to the bar at nine in the morning.

Arcade? Fighting club? Indoor rock climbing club? Equestrian club?

The places in Tokyo where Shizuka Hiratsuka often played flashed through Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind one by one, but after thinking about it again and again, Shizuka Hiratsuka passed them all up.

Based on Shizuka Hiratsuka's understanding of Fujiko, if you want someone to have fun, making them interested is one thing, and the other is not to make it too troublesome or too tiring.

Shizuka Hiratsuka remembered Fujiko telling her that in order to achieve her goals, she had to expend a lot of physical and mental energy to complete her plans, and she also had to be vigilant about possible accidents during the action, so when she was on vacation, Fujiko wanted to live as relaxed as possible.

"Oh." Scratching her head in distress, Shizuka Hiratsuka once again inappropriately sighed about the benefits of being alone.

It’s so nice to be able to do whatever you want without having to worry about other people’s feelings!

"Meow, meow, meow~" Glancing at Fujiko, who was kneeling on the sofa and trying to tease the handsome Fujiko with an indifferent look on his face, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked, swiped the search webpage to the background, and opened her address book.

"Hirano should be very clear about this kind of activity arrangement, but she has to play with Yukino today. The two sisters finally get to go out and play together, so it's better not to disturb them." Scanning the contacts in the mobile phone one by one, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Sonoko?"

"Yes, it's me, Sister Jing. What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?~" The call was quickly connected. Listening to the excited and somewhat loud voice on the other end, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head with amusement.

She is the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, who is famous throughout Japan, but she turns out to be such an impetuous girl.

Yes, after Yono was eliminated from Hiratsuka Shizuka's mind, the only person Hiratsuka Shizuka could think of who knew all the fun things in Tokyo was the second daughter of the Suzuki family who had been inexplicably fanatical about her since she met her.

"There is indeed something I need your help with." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile, then thought of something and asked with a smile.

"By the way, did you receive the gift I asked Xiaolan to bring you?"

"Ah, I heard Xiaolan tell me on the phone last night, thank you Sister Jing! You were the one who went out to play, but you still thought of bringing me a gift." Suzuki Sonoko nodded happily, sitting on the sofa in her home, completely ignoring the strange looks of her father who was calmly reading the newspaper, her mother who was elegantly sipping tea, and her sister who was sitting dignifiedly, and she was shaking with excitement on the sofa.

"I'm going to go play with Xiaolan soon, and take back the gift that Sister Jing gave me."

"Well, it's not a valuable thing, but it's quite unique. Take it back and play with it." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile, glanced at Fujiko who was being twitched by Shuai Shuai who was already getting annoyed, and turned the topic to what she wanted to ask.

"By the way, Sonoko, I have something to ask you. I have a friend who came to Tokyo, and I want to take her out for some fun. But she's usually very tired from work, so I guess she won't be able to do anything too strenuous. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Hey, is she Shizuka's friend?" The voice suddenly rose. Although she had known Shizuka Hiratsuka when she was young, Shizuka Hiratsuka's circle of relationships had always been a mystery to Sonoko.

Sonoko has always been curious about what kind of friends Shizuka Hiratsuka, the most handsome man in the world who is unprecedented and unparalleled in her mind, would make.

"Leave it to me, I'll think about it." Patting his chest carelessly, Sonoko touched his chin, and only put down his legs properly after Suzuki Tomoko's slight scolding.

"If you don't want to move too much, you can come to the water park!" Without letting Hiratsuka wait too long, Sonoko quickly gave her answer.

"If you don't want to move, you can change into your pajamas and lie on a lounge chair nearby to bask in the sun. If you're tired of resting, you can also try some water activities. You can even float on the water easily, which is very energy-saving!"

"Besides, I was originally planning to go out with Xiaolan today. There's a new water park in Tokyo. Our family has a stake in it. The building style is very nice, just like a tropical rainforest, and there's also an artificial beach. Sister Jing, bring your friends along. I have a VIP room here~"

"Um, is that so? Let me ask." After blinking, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that what Sonoko said made sense, turned her head and said to Fujiko who was still competing with Shuai Shuai.

"Fujiko, do you want to go to the water park?"

"Water park? I want to go!~"

"...Why are you so happy? Are you thinking about something bad?"

"Hey~ No, I didn't~"

Chapter 73: Call me Hiratsuka Mineko~

"Okay! I'll call Xiaolan right away and send you the address. Wait a moment, Sister Jing!"

After receiving a positive answer from Shizuka Hiratsuka on the phone, Sonoko jumped up from the sofa excitedly, hung up the phone and prepared to go upstairs to change clothes and go out.

"Sonoko, wait a moment." A calm and elegant voice sounded in the living room. She stopped subconsciously. Sonoko turned her head with an embarrassed expression and looked at Suzuki Tomoko who was looking at her with a smile.

"Mom, I did make some noise just now, but I have to go out for something urgent. Can you tell me if you have anything when you come back?" Looking at her mother pitifully, Yuanzi said pleadingly.

"Pfft~" Looking at Sonoko's pitiful expression, Suzuki Ayako, who was sitting elegantly beside her, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"I didn't mean to say anything about you." Looking at her daughter who she had raised with a relaxed mind since childhood, Suzuki Tomoko shook her head helplessly.

Although they didn't want Suzuki Sonoko's growth to be affected by family reasons, it seems now that they should have paid more attention to her back then.

She is obviously a girl, but she doesn't look like a girl at all.

"The person I just called you about was the one who always took you, Xiaolan, and Kudo Shinichi out to play when we were little, in your own words." Suzuki Tomoko said with a chuckle, shifting her gaze slightly and glancing at Suzuki Shiro beside her.

"A very handsome woman, Hiratsuka Shizuka, right?"

"Well, Mom, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, Sister Shizuka is really super handsome!" After hearing her mother's evaluation of Hiratsuka Shizuka, Sonoko, who was a little fan girl, also raised her hand excitedly.

"I've always wanted to invite Sister Jing to come over to my house, but unfortunately I never had the time."

"Oh, I see." Suzuki Tomoko nodded gently, with a kind smile on her face.

"Go ahead and have fun, but be careful not to cause trouble for others."

"Don't worry, Mom. With Sister Jing here, there will be no problem!" Yuanzi said with some pride, waving her fist and smiling.

"I'm not kidding, maybe the bodyguards around you, Mom and Dad, are no match for Sister Jing~"

"Okay, don't tell us here. Don't you still have to call Xiaolan?" Waving her hand casually, Suzuki Tomoko urged Sonoko to go upstairs quickly.

"Sonoko, if Miss Hiratsuka likes that water park, remember to give her a membership card." Suzuki Shiro said in a low voice with a smile on his face, slowly turning the newspaper in his hand.

"We've been taking such good care of you, and we haven't properly thanked Miss Hiratsuka yet."

"Don't worry, I know." After waving her hand, Sonoko quickly ran upstairs. Being able to go out and play with Shizuka Hiratsuka was something Sonoko couldn't refuse.

She also believed that after telling Xiaolan about this, Xiaolan would not refuse.

Then let that narcissistic guy Kudo Shinichi stay at home! The girls are out having fun, they don’t need this extra guy!

"Sonoko is very happy." Looking at Sonoko's excited figure with a smile, Suzuki Ayako shook her head slightly, picked up the coffee pot on the coffee table and poured a cup of coffee for Suzuki Tomoko and Suzuki Shiro.

"I didn't expect that there would be someone who would make the carefree Sonoko admire him like this. It's obvious that I, as her father, don't have such a high status in Sonoko's heart." Shaking his head in amusement, Suzuki Shiro said with a bit of jealousy in his tone.

After all, as a father, it is not a good feeling to see that the person your daughter admires most is not you.

"The person I admire most is you, Dad." Suzuki Ayako sat down next to Suzuki Shiro with a smile, gently put her arms around his arm, and said affectionately.

"Haha, is that so!" Nodding happily, Shiro Suzuki's expression changed as quickly as a child.

"But the daughter of the Chiba Hiratsuka family does have some abilities." Suzuki Tomoko said softly, picking up the coffee on her daughter's wedding paper and taking a sip.

"Don't worry about it. As long as Sonoko thinks that the other party can be friends, we don't need to interfere too much."

"Well, I know, but I can invite him to my house for a banquet when I have time. After all, I often take Yuanzi out to play."

"That's no problem. Just make the arrangements and talk to Sonoko."

. . .

"Hi! Sister Jing, we are here~"

Yuanzi, standing in front of the water park with his hands behind his back, looked around constantly. When a familiar sports car appeared in his sight, he waved his hands excitedly.

"Sonoko, don't call me Sister Jing all the time. It makes Xiaolan and I so embarrassed." With a pair of dead fish eyes, Kudo Shinichi looked at Sonoko beside him with dissatisfaction.

"What does it matter? You don't mind me calling you Sister Jing. You and Xiaolan are together because of your parents. I just know Sister Jing. I don't want to call you Sister Jing that old!" Sonoko said carelessly, sticking out her tongue at Kudo Shinichi.
