Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner
Chapter 243 - 164: Because You Are Handsome Enough

Chapter 243: Chapter 164: Because You Are Handsome Enough

The current Prince Akihito is quite different from the impression of Prince Akihito from Fushimi Roku’s previous life. The difference is that in the previous life, Prince Akihito was still alive in 1991, whereas now Prince Akihito is already dead.

Thus, his wife, Princess Nakako, is currently a widow of Japan’s royal family.

Next, Akishino Mako, who was originally supposed to be born in 1991, was born nineteen years earlier, and she was a young girl at the time of her death. She committed suicide by jumping off a building recently, and now she will forever remain a nineteen-year-old girl.

Nineteen years ago, Fushimi Roku hadn’t crossed over yet! It certainly wasn’t him who caused the butterfly effect, which indirectly proves that this is Japan in a parallel world...

First, Princess Nakako lost her husband, then her daughter. It’s easy to imagine how sad she must be. It’s understandable that she would invite a spirit medium to see her daughter one last time.

Minamoto Tamako listened and couldn’t help but raise her hand to ask, "Um, I’m a bit confused. Why is the police department worried that the spirit medium would question the results of the police investigation?"

In her view, it’s human nature for the victim’s family to want to see the deceased one last time. If it were her, she would also have people she would want to see but couldn’t see anymore... If she had a chance to meet Kawai, she wouldn’t want someone sending reporters to secretly observe.

"Uh, well..."

Yazaki Momo was at a loss for an explanation, so she looked at Fushimi Roku. The latter chuckled and said, "Guilty conscience!"

"Eh? Why would there be a guilty conscience?"

In the past, Minamoto Tamako might have spent all night figuring out the key point; but nowadays, her little brain quickly turned, and she vaguely guessed what was going on: "Could it be that Miss Akishino did not die by suicide?"

Fushimi Roku shrugged, acting indifferent: "Be careful, the police department might sue you for defamation."

"Tch! If they’re not guilty, why be so nervous?" Minamoto Tamako crossed her arms in protest, expressing her disdain for such irresponsible behavior.

"Maybe it’s because of the poor social impact," Yazaki Momo stepped in to smooth things over, sidestepping the issue: "Promoting the supernatural by the royal family would stir up negative public opinion..."

"Exactly! And if the spirit medium says Akishino Mako was murdered, then, should Princess Nakako trust the police or the spirit medium?" Fushimi Roku, already sensing the scandal, smirked and said, "Anyway, it’s a dilemma!"

Upon hearing this, Minamoto Tamako felt that Lady Nakako was really pitiful.

Even hiring a spirit medium to deceive herself for comfort would be maliciously misinterpreted by others, living constantly under the gaze of others. Just thinking about it is terrifying!

Yazaki Momo leaned forward, the heavy weight on her chest resting on her knees: "Is Mr. Fu Jian interested? I can help you say hello to the police department over there, just as if it’s an external assignment... This is a great opportunity to meet royal members!"

"Just a widow, right?" Fushimi Roku waved his hand, showing no interest.

Yazaki Momo tried her best to persuade: "Moreover, there’s a rumor that the reason Princess Nakako wants to invite a spirit medium is because the villa she lives in is haunted..."

Saying this, her occupational hazard kicked in, and she couldn’t help but gossip: "According to the rumors I’ve heard, the death of Akishino Mako might be more complicated than you think."

"Someone said Akishino Mako was entangled with an earthbound spirit in the haunted house before she died. The servants in the villa often saw her babbling and going mad, claiming she saw her deceased father... There’s even a rumor that Akishino Mako was killed by the earthbound spirit."

Minamoto Tamako wasn’t scared at all, thinking this kind of talk was just to deceive children: "Why would there be such rumors? Smart people wouldn’t believe it, right?"

She picked up her hot tea, like an enlightened monk, her face calm and self-satisfied, but she drank the tea and burned her mouth, exclaiming and sticking out her tongue.

Yazaki Momo raised a finger, shook it, and said seriously: "Miss Tamako, rumors must have their reasons, don’t underestimate the power of rumors."

She paused and continued: "Moreover, the rumors about the earthbound spirit are based on facts; the rumors of Akishino Mako dying by evil spirits also have their sources..."

Minamoto Tamako covered her burnt mouth, showing curiosity and leaning forward.

Unexpectedly, just when Yazaki Momo got to the key point, she suddenly changed the subject, saying that internal information was not convenient to disclose unless Mr. Fu Jian agreed to participate in the Spirit Summoning Ceremony and expose Oogami Nui’s spirit communication fraud, otherwise she wouldn’t say another word.

Minamoto Tamako was taken aback and turned to look at Fushimi Roku. Seeing him pout, she knew this guy wanted to be lazy again. She hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Since we can’t agree, let’s vote!"

"I support!" Yazaki Momo chimed in.

"Two to one, two votes to one vote!" Minamoto Tamako felt she had gained the upper hand.

"According to your calculation, Sakurako can vote too," Fushimi Roku said nonchalantly, looking around for the TV remote: "Sakurako will surely vote against, two to two, a tie."

He knew full well that Taira Sakurako was still thinking about going to Shizuoka Prefecture to visit relatives, and definitely wouldn’t be happy being delayed by messy matters... It’s been almost two months already, even if there was a national coup, the martial law should’ve been lifted.

Minamoto Tamako didn’t believe it and immediately went back to the room to seek confirmation from Taira Sakurako.

As expected, Taira Sakurako voted against with a blank expression, reasoning she ’did not want evil spirits to haunt Minamoto Tamako and Fushimi Roku.’ Minamoto Tamako felt both touched and disappointed, with a bit of unwillingness.

She returned to the living room, still not giving up, asking Fushimi Roku at least for a reason for refusal.

Fushimi Roku lay on the sofa, bypassed Yazaki Momo, and turned on the TV with the remote: "If I exposed the spirit medium’s tricks, Princess Nakako would definitely be disappointed, right? It’s her only solace, a willing participant and a willing audience, I won’t go be the bad guy."

Upon hearing this, Minamoto Tamako was momentarily unable to refute, even thinking that Mr. Fu Jian made sense.

This is just like a magician performing magic to cheer up a terminally ill child, whoever spoils the magician’s show is the great villain.

Seeing Fushimi Roku remain unmoved, Yazaki Momo lowered her requirements: "How about this, if Oogami Nui does not question the police investigation, Mr. Fu Jian won’t have to do anything..."

She took this chance to change her strategy: "Just treat it as paid leave, going on a day tour of the royal residence and observing the mysterious spirit medium’s ceremony, doesn’t that sound interesting?"

Finally, Fushimi Roku showed some reaction, he sat up, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Yazaki Momo seized the opportunity to continue persuading: "If Oogami Nui, under the guise of spirit communication, deceives Princess Nakako’s feelings, questions the police investigation, and disturbs the peace of the deceased... then, when you debunk Oogami Nui’s lies, no one would blame you, right?"

"Makes sense," Fushimi Roku nodded: "But what’s the benefit for me?"

"Upholding justice, isn’t that benefit big enough?" Minamoto Tamako interjected.

Yazaki Momo was more pragmatic, having prepared beforehand. Now she pulled an envelope from her pocket, placed it on the coffee table, and gently pushed it forward with both hands.

"My abilities are limited, but this is a small token." She said with a smile.

Fushimi Roku touched the thickness, quite thin, but he had nothing to complain about, after all, he’s just a salaried worker now, like Minamoto Tamako, with savings barely covering living expenses... This small windfall could at least slightly improve his meals.

He planned to take on this task. Out of caution, he asked before agreeing: "Why insist on asking for my help?"

Yazaki Momo said earnestly: "Because Mr. Fu Jian looks the most handsome, reporting after the fact will be more photogenic. Taking you to participate in the Spirit Summoning Ceremony won’t be a disgrace."
