Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Kotaro, however, declared righteously, "That depends on whether you're honest or not! Now, tell us everything you know!"

Chapter 71 Arrest

With Mita Wakato's explanation, Tou-tang and the others finally understood the current situation.

Just as Dou Tang guessed, the Mita Group, to which Mita Wakato belonged, was engaged in the black market of human trafficking, regardless of whether the victims were alive or dead.

Since it can involve the dead, then calling it human trafficking would be more accurate.

During that year, they arrested many foreign illegal immigrants. After almost all the illegal immigrants in Urayasu City were arrested, they began to turn their attention to ordinary people.

There's no other reason than that this business is incredibly profitable, and that strange, neither-male-nor-female boss is just too extravagant.

Furthermore, Urayasu City

The situation is so chaotic now that missing persons are nothing compared to the most horrific murder cases. In fact, many missing persons cases are even included in the murder cases for investigation.

The half-demons' actions were so audacious and conspicuous that the Mita Group was never suspected.

There is no doubt that the boss behind the Mita Group is related to Abe Ryomei, and may even be him himself.

After obtaining all the information, Old Wolf punched Mita Wakato, knocking him unconscious, and then said, "What's next? We know where they're trading, but should we go there now?"

"And what about these people? They're probably core members of the Mita Group, otherwise they wouldn't be involved in such a serious illegal transaction."

Xueqing suggested, "Kill them?"

Everyone present was one of their own. Although Huaiyin and Qingjing were still students, they had already witnessed the true nature of this dark world. Therefore, killing these people in front of them... while they couldn't bring themselves to do it, they wouldn't object either.

But Dou Tang shook his head and said, "There's no need. It would be better to hand over the information they provided to the police. This is one way to stabilize Pu'an City."

He raised his head, pressed his hands together as if he were holding the entire city in front of him, and said, "This city has suffered too many hardships. If we want the citizens to return to normal life, we must give them an explanation."

"The explanation given by Kamen Rider is really untenable, and it can only offer some comfort to young people."

"Perhaps the ultimate act of confessing one's crimes and accepting punishment is the only one that can be considered a merit that gives people a sense of security."

Old Wolf said in surprise, "I thought you were the kind of person who wouldn't care about cleaning up the mess."

When it came to cleaning up the mess, Xue Qing nodded in agreement. Dou Tang did indeed give the impression of being someone who couldn't clean up the mess and didn't consider the consequences of his actions, only caring about achieving his own goals.

Dou Tang shrugged: "It's just that my concept of cleanup is different from yours."

"To me, a corpse in an alley or a destroyed street doesn't need any explanation. Once the culprit is dealt with, the trauma will naturally disappear."

"Whether it's the death of a person, the loss of property, or the shortcomings of a region, they will all fade away with time, and no one will care."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly had a strange feeling.

Dou Tang's understanding of the aftermath was indeed different from everyone else's.

As he spoke, his expression suggested that he had experienced such events countless times, witnessed countless deaths, seen countless buildings or streets crumble before his eyes, and personally observed the painful consequences gradually being forgotten over time…

Perhaps in his view, personal life and death were ultimately not worth worrying about. He was never afraid of losing anything; he only wanted to deal with the culprit that caused all the bad results, nothing more.

Now, his support for sending these guys to the police station is simply because they have to take responsibility for what they did; it's just a minor incident on his way to his goal.

Killing these yakuza would only create more trouble by requiring cleanup, so he wouldn't do that.

It's simply... a departure from human thought, viewing everything from the perspective of a superior judge.

Let time heal the wounds and losses. His only responsibility is to solve problems that others cannot solve.

Only Huaiyin looked at his profile thoughtfully.

Perhaps, that's his attitude towards his own losses too?

“That’s an interesting idea.” Old Wolf scratched his head, affirming Dou Tang’s suggestion. “Then let’s do it this way: tie these guys up and hand them over to the police. But won’t that expose our identities?”

Dou Tang pointed at Xue Qing and said, "Have you forgotten... this guy is actually a criminal police officer too!"

Old Wolf clapped his hands: "Great! We've found the honest man!"

He walked up to Xueqing, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Well then, this time it's up to you! Xueqing-san, you've really worked hard!"

Xueqing patted the shoulder that the old wolf had just touched with a hint of disgust, wrinkling her nose and saying, "It stinks..."

………………

"Inspector Megure—!!"

The officers rushed into Megure's office and looked at the officer with deep dark circles under his eyes behind the desk.

At this moment, Inspector Megure was clearly extremely busy; his eyes were sunken, his dark circles were very obvious, and he looked like he had lost weight.

"Ugh... what's wrong? Another arson case? Or maybe a murder? This is giving me a headache... damn it..."

Seeing that Inspector Megure seemed to be in a daze, the officer's face lit up with joy and he said, "Actually... Inspector Megure, it's a good thing!"

"There are several Yakuza cars parked at the entrance!"

Inspector Megure slammed his fist on the table, roaring in fury, "What?! A yakuza car?! Is this some kind of good thing?! Who gave them the audacity to come to the Metropolitan Police Department's entrance?!"

The officer quickly waved his hand and said, "No! They were arrested! By...by that detective from Tokyo, Xueqing!"

Inspector Megure was initially stunned, then instinctively asked, "Who?"

Then it suddenly dawned on him: "That...that Xueqing?!"

Without hesitation, his chubby body sprang with unimaginable speed, flipping over from behind the table and running toward the door.

He quickly went downstairs and arrived at the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department.

He was stunned.

Several cars were parked in front of the Metropolitan Police Department, filled with unconscious yakuza members. Dou Tang and Xue Qing stood idly by the cars, Xue Qing carrying several large bags in her hands.

"This, this is—?" He approached the two of them, shocked.

Xueqing shook the bag in her hand and placed it on the back of the car, while Doutang said, "Inspector Megure, we haven't been slacking off. Even though we haven't contacted you for so long, we've caught a big rat for you."

"The Mita Group is the mastermind behind the recent surge in missing persons cases in Urayasu City. They're involved in human trafficking, and we've already collected the evidence for you!"

Dou Tang stepped forward, patted Inspector Megure on the chest, and said, "Inspector Megure, I think you should have some experience in how to get these guys sentenced to a heavier sentence, so everything from now on is up to you."

"As for the murder case, we will continue to investigate."

Chapter 72 Private Hospital

The location where Abe Ryomei used to receive human bodies has been exposed.

Just as Old Wolf had predicted, his base was located in the very heart of the city, inside a private hospital.

As the former vice president of the Exorcist Association, Abe Ryomei possesses wealth beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Perhaps the reason he chose Urayasu City as the testing ground was because of that hospital.

Of course, even so, he was extremely cautious. Even the Mita Group, which had been dealing with him for a year, could not access his deeper secrets. They simply sent the kidnapped people to the hospital, and knew nothing about any of the details afterward.

The sudden annihilation of the Mita Group might arouse Abe Ryomei's curiosity and questions, but it's better than letting the Mita Group members go and alerting them.

At least for now, Dou Tang can go and investigate one last time.

In the morning, as the cold sea breeze in Urayasu City had just subsided, Old Wolf wrapped himself in a scarf, sat in the car, and took a deep sniff.

In the passenger seat sat Dou Tang.

"Damn it, I never thought someone with my constitution would catch a cold," Old Wolf sniffed again, annoyed.

Dou Tang said calmly, "It's thanks to your cold that we were able to find a suitable excuse to go to that hospital for a checkup. Otherwise, with our healthy bodies... going to the hospital for no reason would arouse suspicion."

Old Wolf nodded, started the car, and said again with displeasure, "Damn it, I think I caught a cold because the water in Tokyo Bay is too dirty. I was soaked in that dirty seawater and then stayed there for more than an hour!"

Dou Tang, idly scrolling through his phone, said absentmindedly, "You should talk to the Olympic athletes about this, right? It would be a good way to exchange ideas."

Old Wolf scoffed, and the vehicle drove onto the street, heading towards the private hospital.

The name of this private hospital is quite meaningful; it is called "Oginza," which has many meanings in Japan. The most famous of these is "Oginza," one of the foundational works of Shintoism, which is divided into Honki, Jidaiki, and Denki.

The name of this private hospital, Yuyin, may itself be a hint.

Old Wolf parked his car in the hospital's parking lot. The fact that a private hospital in the Tokyo area, where land is incredibly valuable, has its own above-ground parking lot speaks volumes about the hospital's financial strength.

In Japan, many private hospitals are supported by conglomerates or sponsored by wealthy families. All the information revealed by this hospital seems to suggest that it is backed by a behemoth.

Old Wolf walked into the hospital. There were quite a few people there, and it would take a while just to register.

While Lao Lang went to register, Dou Tang wasn't idle either. He looked at the map of the six-story hospital main building and then strolled upstairs.

The vehicles that transport people usually go to the underground parking lot, but they are always received by special people. So even if Dou Tang goes to the underground parking lot now, he won't get any results. It's better to start with other relevant places first.

For example... the operating room, especially the surgical clinic.

Dou Tang didn't take the elevator. Instead, he took the opportunity to observe the different floors of the hospital as he went upstairs. Unexpectedly, the hospital seemed to be under a lot of pressure. Elderly people could be seen queuing up in front of the consultation rooms everywhere, and the doctors and nurses were also busy, looking like they were too busy to take care of themselves.

Most importantly, there was no resentment, no abnormality, everything was just too ordinary.

It's just an ordinary hospital.

Dou Tang went up to the sixth floor and arrived at the operating room, which had multiple operating rooms, all of which were already in use when Dou Tang arrived.

In the U-shaped corridor, a few family members sat scattered about. Some looked tired, while others looked on with anticipation. What they had in common was the deep worry and anxiety in their eyes.

What are their feelings as they wait for the person in the operating room? What is their relationship? An ordinary Japanese person would inevitably think about these things when they come to such a place.

But Dou Tang felt nothing; everything in front of him was simply... purely familiar.

Waiting for someone who is on the precipice of separation to return, waiting for the answer to the question of life and death—whether it will be a corpse or a living human being—Dou Tang is all too familiar with this.

But there was no resentment here, nor any hints from the Crown game.

Dou Tang shook his head in disappointment and walked downstairs.

Just as he was going downstairs, he suddenly felt the scenery in front of him tremble.

This subtle and eerie scene

The elephant made him stop and turn to look at the stairwell in front of him.

His eyes would never experience ordinary hallucinations; the trembling of the scenery he had just witnessed must have been due to something unusual.

Thinking of this, Dou Tang took a few steps back to the sixth floor and looked at the corridor in front of him.

The hallway... This is the top floor, wait, the top floor?

Isn't there a staircase leading to the top floor? Most buildings in Japan have a tradition of having an entrance to the rooftop, but this hospital doesn't?

Dou Tang glanced at the staircase that had reached its end, frowned, and turned around to survey the entire U-shaped corridor.

Although the main building of this hospital appears rectangular from the air, it is actually a U-shaped corridor inside. There are windows facing outwards from all parts of the corridor, while there are windowless consultation rooms facing inwards. The sixth floor is a series of operating rooms.

Dou Tang walked around the entire corridor but found nothing unusual, and frowned.

Could it be...

Dou Tang suddenly remembered the time when Lu Zizhen was imprisoned in the barrier.

Dou Tang has a natural sensitivity to barriers formed by resentment, but that time, even though Lu Zizhen had entered the barrier, Dou Tang still couldn't detect it because it was a barrier constructed by exorcists, completely different from a barrier formed by malice and resentment.

Dou Tang could sense the resentment, but he couldn't sense the barrier set up by the exorcist; at least, it was somewhat difficult for him.

Could there be an imperceptible barrier here as well? This hospital seems to be hiding some secrets after all…

Since he couldn't get an answer right away, Dou Tang didn't want to waste any more time and strode towards the stairs.

But as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw a slender, red-haired woman walking up from downstairs. The woman had light makeup on, alluring eyes, and a smile on her lips.

That was... the red-haired woman who once claimed to be a fully-formed half-demon!

Dou Tang remained expressionless, stopped at the top of the stairs, took out his phone, frowned, and stared at it thoughtfully, as if he were completely absorbed in the message on his phone.

The red-haired woman brushed past Dou Tang.

Dou Tang waited until the footsteps faded into the distance before slowly turning around. Still looking at his phone, he took a few steps, leaned against the window, and continued to watch the woman out of the corner of his eye.

The woman in red arrived at a small door next to the operating room that looked like a storage room, gently opened the door, and went inside.

Chapter 73 How a Wolf Became a Dog

That guy didn't recognize him, which was good news, since Dou Tang and the others were all wearing suits when they first met.

Dou Tang waited until the woman with red hair and red clothes entered the door before dialing Lao Lang's number.

Old Wolf was still laughing after the call connected, as if he was having a very pleasant chat with the doctor.

"Hey, I just saw that red-haired half-demon."

Old Wolf seemed to greet a female doctor, and then the sound of the door closing could be heard, indicating that he had left the consultation room.

Then, his previously playful tone turned serious: "What's going on? The red-haired half-demon...that woman?! Did we find the right person?!"
