Chapter 225: Chapter 192 Friends and Help_2"It’s not enough to just eat when you’re sightseeing." The younger female tourist glanced at her friend, "You’re tough, but I won’t stick around for this." "We’re already here, look," she pointed to the host club adorned with colorful photos of handsome guys, "aren’t the guys in those photos really handsome? Don’t you want to chat with them?" "It must be expensive!" "There’s definitely some that are cheap and good-looking, which is why...," she looked at Hanpe Suji standing in front of them, "isn’t there this guide here?" Hanpe Suji looked at the two female tourists who weren’t that young, not surprised by their curiosity: "If you want, I can introduce you. I know a place with a great atmosphere...." Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a young girl and frowned slightly. "Sorry, my apologies, you two can go find that person over there and say you want to visit a place called Tongqu." The two female tourists looked in the direction he pointed, seeing a guy smoking. When they turned back, Hanpe was nowhere to be seen. "Why did he... just leave suddenly?" "I don’t know." The two female tourists looked at each other. Weaving through the crowd, Hanpe Suji walked to a streetlight not far away, where Kitagawa Sakisa in a black dress was searching among the bustling crowd for someone. He walked over. "Miss, why did you come here again." Hearing his voice, Kitagawa Sakisa turned around, crossed her arms, and looked up at him: "I was looking for you." Hanpe rubbed his forehead and pulled out his empty pants pocket: "Miss, I’m out of money, you should hurry home." "I don’t want to go back yet." "If Miss doesn’t go back, you’ll have to follow me and go hungry." Kitagawa Sakisa didn’t know about things, but she wasn’t stupid. From Hanpe’s demeanor, it was obvious he had eaten. "You... must have some other money, right?" "..." "Pocket money." "Why not give me money for a bowl of ramen?" Hanpe had no choice; he really couldn’t afford to support this little ancestor anymore, she could eat through his retirement funds. "Miss, you spent all of my 1.21 million yen! The remaining 30,000 yen..." "There’s enough for a bowl of ramen, right?" Kitagawa Sakisa said, looking up. Actually, her brother told Hanpe not to give her food, hoping hunger would force her to go home. But it seemed ineffective now, as Kitagawa Sakisa always managed to scrounge food somehow. "It’s my fault." Hanpe said. "Can you do me a favor?" Hanpe Suji had no choice against her, "What can I do for you, Miss?" "Someone’s been following me recently." "Following you, Miss?" Hanpe Suji’s eyes narrowed on his lean face, "Can you tell me what’s going on, Miss?" Kitagawa Sakisa said, "It’s a pervert I’ve never met, who often harasses me." "Never met, how do you know that guy’s a pervert, Miss?" "Because the pervert writes weird things where I pass by," Kitagawa Sakisa randomly made up an excuse, "he not only harasses me but also my friends." "So?" "So, you have to help me, Hanpe." "For this kind of thing, finding the director would be more efficient," Hanpe said. "No, I came to you because I don’t want to bother my brother," Kitagawa Sakisa said, "Hanpe, you were quite something before, I often heard my brother mention you." "..." Hanpe Suji lowered his voice, "That was in the past." "So will you help me, Hanpe, or I’ll find that pervert myself." What use is it for a sheltered heiress to find a pervert on her own? Hanpe Suji: "I will help you, Miss, but I still need to make money right now." The few thousand yen he was about to earn from guiding had vanished due to Kitagawa Sakisa’s appearance. It’s almost the end of the month now, and he has to pay rent, just thinking about it is worrying. "No need to earn money! The remaining 30,000 yen is enough for us to eat ramen for weeks," Kitagawa Sakisa said. "Ojou-sama, life isn’t just about eating ramen every day," Hanpe Suji said helplessly. Kitagawa Sakisa’s black dress fluttered in the evening breeze. "What else can we do? Drink milk tea? I think tea tastes better." "I can’t afford those." ———————— Shinjuku Police Station. The faint fragrance of tea drifted through the office as the sound of flipping documents suddenly ceased at the ear. Hanamaru Hiroki put down the teacup. "Come in." Ishibashi Kesuke hurried over and stood before the desk: "Police Chief, there’s a lead on the Shibuya robbery case." "Tell me." "It’s members of the Kitagawa Association." "They never seem to calm down for a day," Hanamaru Hiroki showed no change in expression, "Did they notice anything when we got the lead?" Ishibashi faced a dilemma: "Hayashida was discovered while tailing them." When Yakuza members commit crimes and are found out, they naturally hide in their base. When the police come to search and arrest, there are countless annoying obstacles causing resistance to the investigation. The police won’t be polite to them, and they won’t be polite to the police. Of course, they dare not confront the police directly, as this would give the police a reason to arrest their group leader. Hanamaru Hiroki laughed softly, rubbing the matte surface of the teacup with his fingers: "But since it’s the Kitagawa Association, it won’t be long before their suspect will be brought to us by their own people, then you can take over directly." Ishibashi was surprised, "Why?" "Have you heard of ’Ninkyo-do’?" Hanamaru Hiroki raised his eyes. "Understood, it’s the value Kitagawa Association always promotes." The Yakuza preach "Ninkyo-do," which can be summed up as "Punish the strong, support the weak, loyalty, benevolence." The fifth-gen Kitagawa head publicly stated that in modern society, there are many people with poor conduct, moral decay, who are idle and temporarily go astray. Such people are not accepted by society, and the Kitagawa Association is the plate that accepts them, using rules to regulate them, guiding them onto the "Ninkyo-do" of justice. Precisely because the Yakuza takes these people in, Japan’s law and order is relatively stable. "Sounds good, but I’m sure you understand why they do this, Ishibashi." "Yes." It’s nothing more than giving themselves a positive image, expanding their influence over society. Ishibashi Kesuke: "But why would members of the Kitagawa Association bring their own people over, doesn’t this hurt their so-called integrity?" "The Kitagawa Association wants to do everything on the surface," Hanamaru Hiroki in his blue police uniform continued flipping through the Police Headquarters’ files, "Their protection fees are meant to control the criminal activities in their territory on our behalf." "They hope by doing this, the local populace will get to know them, believe that the protection fees they pay are indeed reliable, positioning the Kitagawa Association as a role to be accepted or even appreciated by the public." "In this way, the Kitagawa Association actually becomes a maintainer of social order, conveying to the public that they are even more efficient and effective than we the police." The turn of the white paper released a faint scent of ink. "Soon, they will bring that guy over to us and then make a big show of it." After listening, Ishibashi Kesuke silently pondered for a moment, "Smart folks." "If they weren’t smart, how could the Kitagawa family have lasted up to this point? They’ve even funded several schools to further promote their surname Kitagawa." Hanamaru Hiroki continued. "However, naturally, there are opposing voices among them, another faction thinks the current Kitagawa Association has lost the Yakuza’s dignity. "Engaging in social welfare, helping women and children, cleaning streets damages Kitagawa Association’s image, leading their own members unable to lift their heads in front of members from other Yakuza organizations." "And the latter, most of them are stubborn members of the Kitagawa Association." Ishibashi Kesuke nodded gently. Flipping through the Police Headquarters’ files, Hanamaru Hiroki once again smiled: "The Young Master of Kitagawa Association, Kitagawa Sakihara is also an interesting guy."
