I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

"Make your point clear: did you see me go into this mental hospital you mentioned, or did you see me take those things?"

Kasahara Koji shook her head excitedly.

"That's not what I meant. It's just that the team suspects you now. After all, you were the only one who was around at that time."

Feng Zejian smiled helplessly, "Alright, since you doubt me, I also have some doubts."

"You said."

Feng Zejian reasonably raised his own questions.

"If that person were me, if I went to that mental hospital you mentioned with a specific purpose, why didn't I hide myself in the first place? Why did I wrap myself up so tightly when I got there?"

"If I were that person, do you think I would make such a basic mistake?"

Kasahara Koshika also began to think.

It must be said that Feng Zejian's doubts are quite reasonable.

“My movements are all justified. You saw me on the surveillance footage because I walked back from Nara Prefectural Hospital; I was there the whole way.”

“You also came from an orphanage, so you should know better than me that the orphanage is located there. And you know more or less about my experience. I don’t have a good relationship with my parents. I only went back this time to get my sister’s file. As a result, my mother fainted and was hospitalized. I still haven’t gotten the file back. I went all the way from the county hospital back to the orphanage. I even got lost along the way. There was no signal. For a moment, I really thought I would never get out.”

“I don’t think I would have gone to that place you mentioned with a purpose under these circumstances. The rest is even easier to explain. I didn’t even have a purpose. How would I know what you were looking for, or how did I take that thing before you did?”

"This is fundamentally illogical."

Kazema persuaded Kasahara Kojima, and also persuaded the person behind the pinhole camera on Kasahara Kojima's body.

“In the past two years, I have indeed experienced a lot and witnessed things I would never have seen before, but so what? I am still just an ordinary person. My first half of life has been vilified beyond recognition, and I don’t want my new life to be labeled as that of a suspect.”

Kasahara Koji's pretty face showed a guilty expression.

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to clear your name."

Kazema looked at Kasahara Kojima and suddenly noticed that the gaps in Kasahara Kojima's buttons were a little different.

Feng Zejian immediately realized that this might be a pinhole camera.

That makes sense. Kasahara Koshika came to see him so openly, the Onmyōryō (the Bureau of Yin and Yang) wouldn't just ignore it.

At this moment, Feng Zejian had an idea.

Feng Zejian laughed, a laugh filled with unbearable bitterness, his emotions beginning to erupt.

"What crime did I commit? What charges do I need to clear? Even if it were me, what could I possibly do? The ultimate judge of whether I am that person never looks at what I say, but at you. I'm not just saying this to you, Kasahara Koji."

"And there's a hidden camera in the button of your collar, the people over there said."

"If you think I am, then I am. I won't make any more excuses. Just like in the beginning, I'm a disgusting, perverted underwear thief. That's it, I'm leaving now."

Kasahara Koshika felt extremely wronged.

"Listen to me, Feng Zejian, it's not like that, brother, don't go, let me explain."

Feng Zejian paused at the doorway.

Kasahara Koji thought she would have a chance to attend the party, but Kazesawa's words immediately plunged her back into despair.

"Let's not contact each other anymore. After all, associating with a suspect will only get you into trouble."

Tears welled up in Kasahara Koshino's eyes, and the tears instantly froze into ice crystals.

Looking at the hidden camera on her button, Kasahara Koji turned her sorrow into resentment.

"I need a reasonable explanation!"

Tonight is destined to be a chaotic night for the Onmyoji Bureau of the First Division.

When confronted by Kasahara Kojima, Kazesawa Mei pushed all the blame onto Fujiwara Takeshi.

Kasahara Koka was angry, but she knew Feng Zeming's personality; she didn't like to meddle in other people's business and would only do so if someone gave her permission.

Fujiwara Takeshi was also helpless.

"Little Deer, you know that you've done many things that violate the rules, so..."

Even Fujiwara Takeshi himself felt guilty about saying that.

"No need to say anything more, I'm requesting an indefinite leave of absence to reflect on my actions."

Seeing Kasahara Koshiro leave like that, Fujiwara Yuji was completely bewildered.

With Kasahara Kojiro leaving, the First Division's fighting strength will drop by more than half.

But some people don't think that way.

Lei Ming sat up abruptly in a flash.

"Does Xiao Lu's vacation mean I have a chance?"

Fujiwara Yuji looked at Lei Ming with a strange expression.

"I knew you'd think this was a good thing."

However, there was nothing Fujiwara Takeshi could do.

"You little devil, get ready for battle, Mifune Shin. You'll be a substitute on the next mission too."

Feng Zemin pushed up his glasses and asked, "So, the next mission will involve the entire First Squad, right?"

Fujiwara Yushi nodded.

"There's no other way. With Xiao Lu gone, our fighting strength will be greatly reduced. We can only make up for it by having more people. I'm thinking about whether to borrow another one from another team."

Lei Ming said with absolute confidence, "Don't worry, Captain, I'm very reliable too."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zeming couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother A, given the current situation, which team has any free time?"

At that moment, Ruri Shinbo walked into the First Squad carrying a stack of documents.

"Brother A, where should we put the data for Guanye District?"

Fujiwara Yuji instinctively said, "Just put it anywhere."

"it is good."

At that moment, Fujiwara Yushi looked at Ruri Shinbo.

"Xinbo, is the injury on your hand almost healed?"

Liuli Xinbo paused for a moment.

"Alright, that's about it. What's wrong, Brother A?"

"Of all the members of your Third Division, you're the only one left now, right?"

Ruri Shinbo looked at Fujiwara Yuuji, her eyelids twitching.

"Brother A, what are you doing?"

Fujiwara Takeshi briefly explained the situation.

"Xinbo, you don't know, Xiaolu just threw a tantrum and asked for an indefinite leave. You know, the First Team's combat power will drop significantly without Xiaolu. And it's almost our turn to carry out a mission. I'm a little worried. Xinbo, although we're not on the same team, your growth and ability are obvious to all. Can you do me a favor?"

Ruri Shinbo also understood pretty much.

Chapter 174 The Clan's Sudden Invitation

"Brother A, I can help with this, but don't expect me to play any major role."

Fujiwara Yuji happily hugged Ruri Shinbo.

"Brother, you're useful no matter where you are."

Ruri Shinbo also felt very comfortable being flattered by Fujiwara Yuuji.

"Then I'll start preparing for combat training these next few days."

"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say."

When Lei Ming saw this scene, he had a mixed feeling.

She and Ruri Shinbo were in the same batch when they entered the Yin-Yang Bureau.

She believes her family background is no less impressive than Ruri Shinbo's.

In terms of ability, I am definitely superior to him.

But he is now a key player in the Third Division, while I am still a substitute.

Without Ruri Shinbo, the entire Third Division took a break.

Lei Ming was extremely envious of that absolute core position.

Even though she had said that she was reliable, even her own captain looked at her with great respect and put his arm around Ruri Shinbo's shoulder.

This made Lei Mingyi somewhat unhappy.

He thought to himself, "Just wait, I'll amaze everyone on the next mission."

Feng Zejian took a taxi home and happened to find the three women in his family having dinner together.

Even though she hadn't told him she was coming back beforehand, Rio Sawada still habitually prepared Kazesawa's tableware.

Rio Sawada looked delighted and got up to greet him.

"Perfect timing, you're back. Let's sit down and eat together."

As she spoke, she helped Feng Zejian take off his outer garment, just like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Kazema sat down, and Shimizu Kaori returned Kazema's bank card to him.

Here's your card back.

Feng Zejian took back his bank card and asked, "How much is left?"

Kaori Shimizu was somewhat hesitant to look Kazesawa in the eye.

Rio Sawada frowned slightly as she looked at the bank card that her daughter had handed to Kazesawa.

"what happened?"

Feng Zejian waved his hand.

"fine."

As she spoke, she looked at Shimizu Kaori.

"Just tell me how much is left, and I won't pursue it."

Seeing the resolute look on Kazesawa's face, Shimizu Kaori weakly spoke up as well.

"Gone."

Feng Zejian was stunned for a long time.

“I remember I had three million left in this card.”

Kaori Shimizu nodded weakly.

"It's all spent."

Upon hearing that Shimizu Kaori had squandered three million yen, Sawada Rio immediately went berserk and reached out to hit Shimizu Kaori.

Kaori Shimizu resigned herself to her fate and closed her eyes.

Kazema grabbed Rio Sawada's arm.

“Hitting her won’t solve the problem, and besides, I let her spend it however she wanted. Three million isn’t a lot to begin with, so it’s fine once it’s spent.”

Kaori Shimizu looked at Kazema with immense gratitude, and her goodwill towards him increased considerably.

Actually, she was momentarily stunned when she received the card, thinking that Feng Zejian couldn't tell her the real password.

But just to give it a try, I went to the self-service bank to check, and it turned out to be true.

Thinking of Feng Zejian's boastful promise, I went to the mall to do some simple shopping. Unexpectedly, I got more and more carried away with my purchases until my card balance was insufficient.

She regained her senses and tried to return some items, only to find that she had already removed the tags from most of the returnable items, leaving only the ones she liked.

Rio Sawada was stopped by Kaze Sawama and sat down, suppressing her anger.

"Sister Rio, there's no need to be angry about spending a little money. Kaori is in the elite class now and will have a bright future. Her future wealth will be greater than this mere three million. At least that's what I think."
