update icon Updated at 2025/7/14 18:10:13

After Eiji Hayamizu left the room, Chongzong began investigating the woman's personal belongings. But soon, he felt strange. After all, besides himself, there was another person in the room, although she was tied up and unconscious. As a living person, Chongzong couldn't ignore her presence. So Chongzong had to adjust his posture, face the woman, bring her into his field of vision, and then start investigating the items.

In the woman's wallet, there was her driver's license, which had some information written on it. "Ayaki Yuriko, 23 years old. She looks much more mature than her age," Chongzong thought to himself. After that, Chongzong investigated her other belongings, but apart from the name and age, there was no other valuable information.

"Wait a minute, I remember there should be..." Chongzong carefully looked at the driver's license again, and as he had expected, he found the woman, Ayaki Yuriko's address on it. "Higashiyama district, Shimogawara-ku, Sannenzaka entry, Shimogawara-cho 459." Chongzong jotted down the address on his phone.

So, besides that, Chongzong had completed everything he could do at the moment. And by "that," he meant directly talking to Ayaki Yuriko. Chongzong hesitated whether he should have a conversation with her under the current conditions. The other party was probably more experienced and had gone through more worldly affairs. It seemed reckless to approach her in such an unprepared situation.

"Maybe I should be fully prepared before interrogating her," Chongzong thought, looking at the address in his hand.

Then he made a decision. He would go and investigate the address, investigate the person, and then start questioning. It would be more appropriate.

"Hayami, I have finished investigating," Chongzong said, leaving the room and greeting Hayami, who was playing with his phone nearby.

"Oh? So fast. Then, are we starting the interrogation next? If so, I suggest you do it alone..." Hayami said.

"No, I won't interrogate her today. I still have something to investigate," Chongzong replied. Unusually, he put his hand on Hayami's shoulder and gave it a strong pat.

"You will have to work a bit harder with this woman. I'm counting on you, Hayami," Chongzong said.

Eiji Hayamizu was taken aback by Chongzong's pat and burst into laughter after hearing his words. "Of course, it's a piece of cake~ On the other hand, my future education is all on you. In case I'm not well-prepared for the exams, you must be ready to risk everything and help me cheat or something. I'm willing to do anything to further my education," Hayami said with a mischievous smile, imitating the evil laughter of villains in movies and TV shows.

In the past, Chongzong would have simply thought that Hayami was joking. But after this incident, he had put "Hayami might actually do something like that" into the realm of possibility.

"Time is running out. Let's call it a day." Chongzong suggested that everyone should go back to their own homes and take care of their own affairs.

"Sounds good. We still have a lot of studying to do tomorrow. Let's go, let's go." The phrase "study hard" had become a mantra for the wandering Eiji Hayamizu, especially during the preparation for exams. But after finishing the test, he would probably forget about it again.

With these words, this little episode after school came to a temporary end.
