Chapter 274 The Wolf of Rice Flower

Chapter 274 The Wolf of Rice Flower

"Hmph, it's only natural that he would be killed. He should have thought of this when he stole the software super factory developed by my brother's company. In the end, my brother fell to his death from the top floor of the company."

Upon hearing this, Hideko Kamijou exclaimed in surprise, "A super factory?!"

Inspector Yokomizo quickly asked, "Ms. Kamijou, you knew about this too?"

Hideko Kamijou pinched the bridge of her nose, looking like she had a headache: "Super Factory is a software that Tokio Ehara sold to me three years ago. Ever since I found out that he stole it, I stopped selling it. I never expected it to cause such serious consequences."

Then she sighed, "It was because of this incident that I found out he was a hacker, and I divorced him immediately."

Akiko Sayama adopted an arrogant demeanor, hurling insults at Satoshi Maeda before raising her head and declaring, "From that day on, I lived only for revenge. You might as well forget about a woman like me, hohohoho."

Akutagawa Hiko saw everything clearly. Akiko Sayama, with her back to Maeda Satoshi, laughed for a while and then burst into tears.

Maeda Satoshi did not back down because of Sayama Akiko's words. His expression was more serious than ever before: "I will wait for you, until you come out of there. I will always wait for you—"

Akiko Sayama didn't turn around, perhaps because she didn't want him to see her current disheveled state. She simply uttered in a trembling voice, "Idiot—"

The matter wasn't resolved perfectly, and Sonoko Suzuki was crying her eyes out. Hiko Akutagawa tossed her another handkerchief: "Alright, Sonoko, stop crying. Ms. Sayama will definitely be able to reduce your sentence. After this ordeal, your relationship will be even stronger."

On the way back to Beika Town, Akutagawa Hiko patiently comforted Suzuki Sonoko, who was moved to tears by the two's relationship. Actually, Ran was in a similar situation, but she wasn't as open as Sonoko and was caught off guard by Sonoko's sudden howling, so she held back her tears.

"But—but, the thought that two people who like each other have to waste so much time makes me—it's all that lecherous old man's fault, he's unforgivable!"

What could Akutagawa Hiko possibly do? Even if he used his spiritification technique to pull out the guy's remaining soul, he couldn't get Sonoko to beat him up to vent her anger. He could only appease him for now.

When Akutagawa Hiko returned to his detective agency, before he could even catch his breath, he saw Tadokoro Toshiya running over with a registration form in his hand: "Boss, there's an urgent request here that might need to be processed as soon as possible."

Akutagawa Hiko immediately sat up straight. He couldn't possibly discourage people from seeking help at his office, so he took the registration form and started reading it.

The client is a young woman named Nishitani. She is being followed and suspects that the person on her side intends to kill her, so she seeks help from Akutagawa Detective Agency, the most famous detective agency in Tokyo.

"It's really urgent. Contact Ms. Nishitani immediately and ask her to come to the office for a meeting."

Tadokoro Toshiya nodded and used the office's landline to dial Ms. Nishitani's cell phone: "Hello, is this Ms. Nishitani? Our boss, Detective Akutagawa, has returned and would like to schedule a meeting with you. Do you have time? Okay, okay."

Then, Toshiya Tadokoro poked his head out and said, "Boss, Miss Nishiya should be here in about twenty minutes."

O

Akutagawa nodded and pondered the cause and effect of the case for a while.

In this case, the person killed was not Ms. Nishitani, who came to him for help, but the stalker known as the Wolf of Beika.

Because Ms. Nishitani reported the stalker to the police, and after the police arrested and reprimanded him, she developed a desire for revenge.

He simply felt that Ms. Nishitani had betrayed his affections, and that her actions, such as calling the police, were a trampling on his feelings.

Akutagawa Hiko couldn't quite understand the thoughts of a pervert.

In short, not long ago, the wolf from Beika pushed Miss Nishitani down the stairs, which frightened her. Moreover, the police who only gave her a reprimand could not gain her trust, so she came to the detective for help.

In fact, Akutagawa Hiko felt that Miss Nishitani, who was brave enough to wield her sword against the wicked, was prepared to fight to the death. If the detective was also ineffective, she would strike first.

Her hunch was right; the stalker was ready to kill her in revenge.

Not long after, Ms. Nishitani arrived at the agency with messy hair, no makeup, and looking like she was under immense mental stress and on the verge of a breakdown.

"Detective Akutagawa, please help me!"

It was clear that Ms. Nishitani felt she had reached a dead end.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Nishitani. No one here can hurt you. Tell me about your encounter with the stalker."

Perhaps influenced by Akutagawa Hiko's composure and confidence, and certain that the stalker wouldn't dare to cause trouble in this place, he hurriedly drank a cup of warm tea to calm himself down, and only then did he relax a lot.

"I used to work at a family-run restaurant, and my dream was to open my own bakery, but—"

After hearing about Ms. Nishitani's experience, to be honest, Akutagawa Hiko didn't really have a perfect solution, unless he directly made her physically disappear, but that was a last resort.

"Miss Nishitani, have you ever thought about moving? That stalker pushed you down the stairs, which is enough for him to be detained for a while. Take this time to move out secretly and start a new life."

This approach is extremely unfair to Ms. Nishitani, the victim. It wastes her time, energy, and money. She will definitely lose her job, and it's unknown how long it will take for her to realize her dream.

Her dream is to own her own bakery, which shows that she is a person who loves life.

But there's nothing we can do about it. We can't just arrest him and put him in jail on this charge before the stalker even makes a move.

If that's really the case, then order and everything else will be completely thrown into chaos.

Miss Nishitani wasn't entirely satisfied with the plan either, and stubbornly insisted, "Isn't there any other way? I can give you all the money I've saved over the years, I just hope he'll never appear in front of me again—"

"This isn't about money; legal means can't deal with this kind of shameless scoundrel who hasn't even crossed the line yet."

Seeing that Miss Nishitani was keeping her head down and not saying a word, Hiko Akutagawa scratched his head and turned to Toshiya Tadokoro: "Toshiya, close the doors and windows. We need to talk about something that's not entirely legal."

With the doors and windows tightly shut, Miss Nishitani visibly tensed up: "What—what illegal thing?!"

'

Akutagawa Hiko rested his chin on his hands: "Hmm, about a way to make that stalker never appear in front of you again."
