Chapter 38: The stubborn head of the family
"Oh, you two look so in love!" He said with a smile: "By the way, Miss Yitian seems to be the daughter of a wealthy family, right?"
"Yes." Yoshiyuki said, "She is the daughter of Yida's eldest son."
"I see. I heard that such big family marriages are made very early. They are often made when they are teenagers." The rice bag demon looked at Yoshiyuki, then at Erina, and lowered his voice with a smile. Asked: "Could it be that you two are already engaged?"
"Not yet!" Erina responded quickly: "We don't need such a thing."
Yoshiyuki didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
But after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly blushed and quickly clarified.
"No, no, no, Miss! It's not that it hasn't happened yet, it's impossible! We just have a master-servant relationship! Don't get me wrong!"
"Hmph...that's right! Our master-servant relationship goes beyond friendship and love!" Erina said proudly, rubbing the dumplings.
"Oh, is it true?" The rice pocket demon sounded very regretful: "But you two are really a perfect match!"
"Of course." Erina snorted and leaned on Yoshiyuki very proudly: "Yoshiyuki has been serving me since I was a child? How can it be a good match!"
Does the eldest lady correctly understand the meaning of "a good match"? !
Yi Xing felt that his brain was very confused for a while.
But after seeing Erina's smiling look with a successful mischievous look and a satisfied smirk on her lips, he understood what was going on.
The eldest lady was joking with him again.
Damn it!
Yi Xing complained in his heart.
Do you like seeing me panic so much? !
Although he knew that Erina was just joking, Yoshiyuki would inevitably feel itchy as long as he really imagined the scene of getting married to the eldest lady.
But he just wanted to think about it.
He quite likes the relationship between the two now.
Because we have to wait for half an hour, we can't wait in the warehouse all the time.
The rice pocket monster went back to look at the store, while Yi Xing and the two policemen were invited to sit in a Chinese restaurant that also belonged to the owner.
During this period, the two police officers also introduced their names.
Among them, the older one is called Sanada Seira. It's a police officer.
The younger one is named Kuno Rijin.
During the chat, I learned that both of them are affiliated with the Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters. This class is specifically responsible for handling serious cases such as violence and homicide.
In addition, the Metropolitan Police Department also has special investigation divisions, four of which specialize in handling cases related to monsters and strange phenomena. Most of the members are psychics.
However, because their number is too small and they have been operating behind the scenes, they usually do not investigate cases independently and require them to coordinate with other departments.
They were also involved in this serial murder case against a girl.
Kuno and Sanada said that the reason why Miss Yida's plan was recognized so quickly was because the Special Investigation Section also identified the murderer as Shuten Doji.
It's just that they haven't been able to find a way to catch him.
Now that they heard that the underworld witch can help, they were naturally very willing. After locating Shuten Doji, the Special Investigation Division will send people to help get rid of him.
"Talking." Erina took a sip of ice water and asked curiously: "Am I famous here in Tokyo? You can hardly find the information about the Miko of the Underworld on the Internet, right?"
"I seem to have heard from the Internet Police that they specifically control the information related to it on the Internet. The less people pay attention to you, the safer you are." Officer Sanada explained gently: "So many people here in Tokyo are just I’ve heard of it, but don’t know much about it. Of course, the police are definitely an exception.”
At this point, Officer Kuno took over his senior's words sheepishly, hesitated, and apologized for his previous remarks.
He said that it was because after he changed his career as a criminal police officer, he discovered that there were too many unsolved murder cases in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so he had always been a little anxious.
However, people with psychic abilities are extremely rare, so he can't control his emotions when he meets someone with psychic abilities. I hope she can forgive him.
"Don't worry! I didn't take it to heart in the first place."
Erina said this, understanding it very well, and at the same time she was a little moved.
The same goes for righteous conduct.
After all, this shows that this young detective has a strong sense of justice and responsibility.
How could he be so interested in those old unsolved cases?
Both Officer Sanada and Officer Kuno are very curious about why the Underworld Miko came to Tokyo.
Because according to the news they heard before, Erina was very well protected by the Yida family and was not even allowed to leave the village.
Regarding this issue, Yoshiyuki was afraid that Erina would tell the truth and expose the fact that Kazuhiro was a traitor, so he immediately spoke first and said that it was because the eldest lady wanted to come to Tokyo to study, and the head of the family finally agreed.
"Mr. Yida really loves his granddaughter, and he actually let go." Officer Sanada thought for a moment, and suddenly said something that interested Yoshiyuki: "I thought he was a rigid and stubborn old man."
"From what Officer Sanada said, it seems that you have dealt with Grandpa Erina?" Yoshiyuki couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Sanada answered in the affirmative and frowned: "In a case I was responsible for in the first half of the year, after the deceased was dismembered, the body parts were hidden all over Japan overnight. I don't know what the purpose was. One of the body parts was found in Yitian Village... You two should have an impression of this matter, right?"
"Yes, but we were in school that day. When we got home from school, we heard that the police had collected evidence and left the village. Otherwise, we would have met long ago." Yoshiyuki answered.
He was somewhat impressed by this case. It was even in the newspapers at the time.
However, because the murderer stopped committing crimes after that and has not been solved, attention gradually declined. Today, only a small group of mystery enthusiasts on the Internet are still discussing it enthusiastically.
"Yes. But actually we were forced to leave." When Sanada mentioned this matter, his tone was still quite helpless: "A more thorough search should have been carried out in Yida Village, but Mr. Yida firmly did not agree to our staying for a long time. After the evidence collection was completed, he immediately They drove us away. It was a very unpleasant scene."
"However, the murderer is indeed not from Yitian Village, right?" Yoshiyuki asked: "The head of the family is still very reasonable. If you have evidence to prove that the murderer is in the village, he will not stop him, but will also be very cooperative."
"That's right. But for some reason, Mr. Yida seems to hate our police very much." Officer Kuno took over at this time: "A village as big as Yida Village should have at least one police stationed in the village. But The Yida family strongly opposed it, so in the end it was not established... Miss Yida, does your grandfather have any issues with us?"
