Chapter 50: Trouble in 6th Ward
"Hey, hey, hey! All your deductions are just guesses that can't be proven at all," Seidou Takizawa said to Akira Mado in his usual manner.
Akira Mado appeared shy in front of Lin Yi but remained calm and unaffected despite the doubts.
"I am simply stating my thoughts objectively. What I have said is supported by sufficient data, not mere speculation."
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Lin Yi applauded. "Akira's thoughts align with mine. There has been no information about the Glutton in the 20th Ward for the past two months. I also speculate that she has already died."
Being called by her first name felt a bit too intimate.
Akira thought to herself, but she was happy to be acknowledged.
"Then let's divide into groups. Juuzou Suzuya and..." Yukinori Shinohara was interrupted by Lin Yi.
"Akira will be in my group. Her father entrusted me to take special care of her."
Shinohara reluctantly rubbed his forehead. Although he had planned to group them like this from the beginning, it seemed that Lin Yi never cared about workplace rules.
He openly declared in front of everyone that he would specifically look after Akira.
Takizawa clenched his fist with jealousy on the side.
"Let's go."
"Y-Yes, Senior Lin."
Lin Yi greeted, and Akira obediently followed him.
Before leaving the headquarters, Lin Yi had some work handovers to do. He had been responsible for capturing the remnants of the Aogiri Tree organization in the 9th Ward.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Lin Yi found time to return to the 20th Ward, while Shinohara had already left a day earlier.
Lin Yi indeed had a lot of things to handle.
According to the original work, a lot would happen during this time, and he needed to start preparing for it.
At the 20th Ward branch.
As soon as Lin Yi arrived, Kurona Yasuhisa and Nashiro Yasuhisa, who had been waiting at the door, greeted him. It had been over a month since they last saw Lin Yi, and both of them missed him dearly, but they didn't want to disturb him because of his work.
"Senior Lin."
Just as Lin Yi was about to greet them, Nashiro threw herself into his arms, tightly embracing his waist.
This made Lin Yi a little overwhelmed.
Kurona, on the other hand, remained reserved, standing with her feet together, quietly watching her sister's antics.
"Sister, let go of Senior Lin."
After a while, Kurona finally pulled Nashiro away and bowed to Lin Yi. "I'm sorry, Senior. It has been a busy time, and Nashiro..."
"It's alright."
Lin Yi waved his hand. He was more concerned about Akira now, so he secretly glanced behind him and saw her looking at him with side-eye glances.
He sighed inwardly. It seemed that the path of the harem wouldn't be that easy.
Lin Yi led everyone back to his office. He was now officially in charge of the 20th Ward, and his office was much larger than before, with luxurious decorations.
Akira used the excuse of preparing work and didn't follow.
Lin Yi knew that she must be jealous, but these things had to be taken one step at a time, so there was no need to rush.
"Has anything happened recently?"
On the way, Lin Yi noticed that the two sisters' moods were off. Kurona managed to restrain herself, but Nashiro had tears almost written all over her face.
Upon hearing the question, Nashiro couldn't help but burst into tears again. Tears filled her pitiful face, explaining her intense reaction upon seeing him earlier.
"Senior Lin, we want to take leave from you."
Kurona, as the older sister, stepped forward. "Two days ago, we received news from the police that our parents went missing."
"We want to go back to the 6th Ward to investigate this personally."
Suddenly, everything made sense to Lin Yi.
He had thought that there shouldn't be any major events in the 20th Ward during this time, and he wondered why the two sisters were like this. It turned out that there was a problem in the 6th Ward.
Considering the timing, the 20th Ward must have attracted more attention, and that's why Dr. Akihiro Kanou decided to relocate the laboratory. Following the original work, he set his sights on the parents of the two sisters.
The father of Kurona and Nashiro was an investor in the CCG and had secretly supported the organization's human experiments, but he was eventually abandoned by the CCG.
Dr. Kanou had also worked in the CCG, so he might have known the girls' father, which led him to the most suitable laboratory.
Lin Yi couldn't possibly let the two sisters investigate this matter on their own.
In the original work, the two sisters were transformed into one-eyed ghouls by Dr. Kanou because of this incident, and their lives were ruined.
"I understand. Don't worry, I will accompany you."
Lin Yi rubbed Nashiro's head, who was still wiping her tears, and reassured her, "You've done well during this time. Even though such a big incident happened, you remained on duty."
Kurona felt moved in her heart but still expressed her concerns.
"Because you once instructed us to handle the matters in the 20th Ward. But is it really alright, Senior Lin? You just returned, and now you're leaving again."
"It's alright."
Lin Yi placed his other hand on Kurona's head and rubbed it.
Kurona and Nashiro were born only a few minutes apart, but Kurona always acted very strong.
"This time, I'm accompanied by Special Investigator Yukinori Shinohara and others. He is a reliable man. He will manage things for a few days while I'm away; there won't be any problems."
There was one more thing Lin Yi didn't say.
He knew very well that there hadn't been any major incidents in the 20th Ward during this time, and he hadn't planned to investigate anything there. There was no one who knew the situation here better than him.
Kurona's fragile defense instantly collapsed, and she, like Nashiro, threw herself into Lin Yi's arms.
Being suddenly embraced by two beautiful women, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel tempted, but to maintain his image as a superior, he didn't extend his sinful hands.
After comforting them for a while, Lin Yi instructed them to rest well, and he would accompany them to the 6th Ward the next day.
Akihiro Kanou, that old guy, was no longer useful.
