Fushimi Roku waited a long time and saw that Minamoto Tamako had no intention of returning home, so he simply had a hearty breakfast himself—it was originally dinner, but dragged until morning became breakfast.

Speaking of which, Fushimi Roku had somewhat gotten used to this. Recently, his and Minamoto Tamako's schedules were mismatched, and although they lived in the same room, they basically never slept in the same bed.

He ate and drank his fill, took a shower, and was planning to go to bed when Kujo Yua's call came through.

Fushimi Roku was not surprised; he was mentally prepared when he passed the information to Sazaki Gen.

The call connected, and Kujo Yua got straight to the point, asking him for the phone transfer and handwriting identification content.

Fushimi Roku feigned ignorance, claiming not to know what Chief Kujo was talking about.

Kujo Yua had no time for Tai Chi moves with him, and said in a low voice, "I know you provided the clues, now is not the time to shirk responsibility, I won't pursue it afterward..."

"Why would Chief Kujo think I provided the clues?" Fushimi Roku countered.

"I have my channels." Kujo Yua lied without any guilt.

"The channels you mentioned, are they the camera behind my home's television?" Fushimi Roku broke the secrecy.

Had it been anyone else, Kujo Yua would have already brought people to silence him by now.

But Fushimi Roku was rather special, and she couldn't just deal with him directly, planning to muddle through first, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Then hang up." Fushimi Roku wasn't in a rush anyway.

"I have the videotape of you murdering and hiding the body." Kujo Yua said, "I know you don't care about others, but how would Tamako feel if she saw it?"

She had also thrown caution to the wind; since she had already used her daughter, why not use her thoroughly.

"I can explain." Fushimi Roku still maintained a tough attitude.

For once, Kujo Yua softened her tone, knowing that as a politician, flexibility is crucial: "Why bother? Since you are willing to provide clues, why not directly give me the evidence? Is the Police Department's credibility not as good as the Inakawa Association's?"

She paused, speaking sincerely, "We can completely cooperate, after all, we will be one family in the future."

"Is that so."

Fushimi Roku lay on the bed, saying, "I remember before joining the anti-drug investigation team, Chief Kujo seemed to have promised something..."

He dug at his ear with his pinky, rolling his eyes in recollection, "Ah, it seemed like 'if you can produce results in this operation'… and something else? Like introducing me to someone?"

Kujo Yua knew clearly that Fushimi Roku was hinting this at her, and this guy surely remembered it clearly.

Earlier, the Police Department established a drug investigation team due to the drug addicts' unregulated violence incident, conducting anti-drug operations in Tokyo, and this was facilitated by Kujo Yua. Now they had seized a considerable amount of drugs, which counted as a political achievement.

At that time, Kujo Yua, to pull Fushimi Roku into the team and also to stop Fushimi Roku's pre-marital misconduct with her daughter, made a grand promise:

—'If you can produce results in this operation, I will introduce you to the Family Head, and consider letting you marry into the Kujo Family.'

This was Kujo Yua's original words.

Now the anti-drug operation was over, everyone who needed to be promoted was promoted, and those who needed to take credit did so, the drug addicts' unregulated violence incidents stopped recurring, Tokyo was now peaceful, truly, all's well that ends well.

"You didn't achieve any results, how can I introduce you to the Family Head?" Kujo Yua said.

"I killed the real culprit," Fushimi Roku confessed, "Let me make it clear, at that time I had no self-awareness, no complete accountability, and the other party attempted to assault the police; my counterattack was completely legal and compliant."

"You're talking about that psychiatrist?" Kujo Yua inquired, "Then how do you explain hiding the body afterward?"

The truth of the drug addicts' unregulated violence incident and its intricacies she was aware of; at least she knew her subordinates were shirking responsibility and it was clear those written records and testimonies were very poor, otherwise she wouldn't be deputy director.

However, who the real culprit was, and how the unregulated violence incident was triggered, Kujo Yua didn't know... though she also didn't care about the truth itself.

"Who said I hid the body? I was preserving evidence!" Fushimi Roku's occupational habits kicked in again.

He paused and added, "Moreover, where do you think the drugs confiscated by Watanabe Shun came from? I don't mean to belittle Senior Watanabe, but don't you find it hard to believe he could seize such a large batch of drugs alone?"

Whether it's the apparent results or solving the problem beneath the surface, Fushimi Roku believes he made enough contributions in both aspects.

Kujo Yua understood Fushimi Roku's point; she needed him now, so she quickly adjusted her communication approach, "If what you say is true, I will of course fulfill my promise."

"Hmm, I'll be listening." Fushimi Roku nodded.

"But Minamoto Tamako is upset over Jun's affairs, and perhaps now isn't the best time to meet the Family Head. Once this matter is resolved, I will specifically commend your contributions, and then introduce you to the Family Head, wouldn't that be more confident?" Kujo Yua began to paint a picture again.

Fushimi Roku didn't buy it; he slid his body down from lying comfortably to lying flat: "Then forget it, I won't go."

"What's wrong?" Kujo Yua asked, "Don't you want to resolve this matter quickly?"

"You're the main person responsible, and I'm just a criminal police officer about to be suspended; the terrorism isn't something for me to worry about."

Fushimi Roku kept hinting this at her:

"Similarly, Minamoto Tamako and I are in a relationship, that's Minamoto Tamako's business. You're not the Family Head or whoever in a relationship with me, so many things aren't for you to worry about."
