Tokyo Ghost Diary

Chiyoda Ward is located in the center of Tokyo's 23 wards. Together with Minato and Chuo wards, it is called the 3 downtown wards. Its transportation is almost the most developed in Japan.

Nine JR stations and more than 30 subway stations form the backbone of Chiyoda City's transportation network.

At eight o'clock in the morning, an ordinary tram drove into the political and economic center of Tokyo with a non-irritating "clang, dang, dang, dang, dang" sound.

After getting off the bus at the station, neither Gen Hoshino nor Yu Shimizu had any intention of sightseeing in this city that gathered various capital functions. Instead, they took a taxi non-stop and went all the way to Tosaka 2-chome.

With the official information provided by the special task force, it is really easy to find Michiko's home.

What appeared in front of Gen Hoshino and Yu Shimizu at this moment was an old one-family house, quite far from the city center, almost on the edge of Chiyoda District.

This is quite normal. After all, before Michiko became a famous YouTube anchor, her family conditions were not very good. It has been several generations since she was able to have a one-family house on the fringe of Chiyoda District where land is so valuable. The result of people's efforts.

As a boos, Hoshino Gen gave employee Shimizu Yu the instruction to ring the doorbell.

Yu Shimizu has nothing to say about such trivial matters.

The doorbell rang again and again, and a sharp voice came from inside the door: "Who is it?!"

crunch--

The door was opened, revealing an energetic middle-aged woman with a thin figure and raised cheekbones, which made her look a bit mean.

She glanced doubtfully at the two boys and girls outside the door who should have been seen on TV, and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart. The moment she opened her mouth, Hoshino Gen knew the general character of the person in his heart.

He stopped Yu Shimizu who was about to say something and said with a smile: "Hello, we are temporary workers under the YouTube anchor department. We still need to make sure about the deceased Miss Hamada Michiko..."

Hoshino Gen's words were only halfway through when the middle-aged woman's face had already changed. She lowered her face and spoke in a cold and sharp tone: "Michiko is dead. What else do you want to confirm? Come on, don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"

After saying that, the door was closed with a bang.

"..."

Hoshino Gen's mouth twitched slightly.

Shimizu Yu didn't gloat at all, but looked at Hoshino Gen in distress and asked: "Is that Chi-chan's mother? It seems difficult to communicate..."

Gen Hoshino looked thoughtful, waved to Yu Shimizu, and walked around the one-family house. Finally, Gen Hoshino stopped behind the house.

He looked up at an open window on the second floor. After thinking for a while, he said to Shimizu Yu: "Give me your mobile phone number."

Although Yu Shimizu was confused, she did not hesitate. In fact, she had wanted Hoshino Gen's contact information for a long time, but she was either too embarrassed to ask for it or she had forgotten it.

Gen Hoshino saved Yu Shimizu's number and dialed it directly.

Yu Shimizu thought that Gen Hoshino was verifying whether the number was correct. When she saw her cell phone being dialed, she was about to hang up. However, Gen Hoshino stopped her, grabbed her cell phone, and connected the call. .

"What are you doing?" Yu Shimizu's face was full of questions, and he didn't understand what Hoshino Gen was doing to confuse him.

Gen Hoshino handed the phone back to Yu Shimizu who was still in the call state: "Keep the call smooth on the phone. Now you knock on the door. After that Obasan goes out, tell her that YouTube is going to pay compensation to Qian-chan's family. Something like that, in short, try to delay that Obasan outside and don’t let her return to the house.”

Shimizu Yu followed Hoshino Gen's gaze and looked at the open window on the second floor, and said in surprise: "You are not planning to sneak in from there, are you? If you are discovered, you will be prosecuted for breaking into a private house, right?"

Shimizu Yu finally understood Hoshino Gen's intentions and felt that this guy was a bit too courageous and had the potential to go to jail.

Hoshino Gen spread his hands and said with a smile: "That's why I asked you to try your best to delay that Obasan outside."

"But……"

Gen Hoshino interrupted with a serious look on his face: "No but, this is an order from the organization, go quickly!"

After saying that, he pushed Yu Shimizu's back and urged her to move faster.

After Yu Shimizu left, Gen Hoshino took out two talisman papers and stuck them on his calves. Then he put on his Bluetooth headset and listened to the movement of the front door coming from his mobile phone.

Soon, the sound of the doorbell ringing came from the earphones, as well as the door being opened and Obasan's impatient "Why is it you again?" sounds.

Without saying a word, Hoshino Gen jumped up and stepped on the wall. In an instant, the talismans on his legs turned into ashes. Instead, a strong wind rose from Hoshino Gen's feet. Stepping on the storm, Hoshino Gen seemed to Transformed into a superhero in the movie, he "flyed" into the second-floor window of a house in an extremely unscientific manner.

Behind the window was a master bedroom. Judging from the furnishings and the big bed, it was obvious that people often slept on it. Hoshino Gen knew that this should be Obasan's bedroom.

Gen Hoshino was not interested in this place at all. He listened to the sound of Shimizu Yu stumbling and talking nonsense to Obasan in his earphones. He quickly left the bedroom and searched for Michiko Zengjin's room on the second floor.

Hamada's house is not big, and there are not many rooms.

Hoshino Gen quickly found the room that seemed to be Michiko's bedroom.

When Hoshino Gen opened the door, he was greeted by the smell of dust that had not been cleaned for a long time. Even because Hoshino Gen opened the door, wind was brought in, and the dust falling on the ground and objects even flew up. Under the early morning sunlight, the Tyndall effect is produced.

Hoshino Gen glanced at the room. Some of the pink wallpaper had fallen off, and only the bare bed boards were left on the round princess. Some cute dolls were dirty on the floor.

However, Hoshino Gen's eyes did not stop at those things. When he saw a computer host thrown casually under the computer desk placed in the corner of the room, he was almost overjoyed!

Without thinking, Gen Hoshino rushed into the room, picked up the computer case, and ran away. He closed the door and tried his best to erase any trace of his presence.

Hoshino Gen jumped out from the window he came in from.

Because he was holding the case, Gen Hoshino staggered a bit when he landed.

At the same time, listening to the voice on the other end of the earphones, Yu Shimizu seemed to be almost unable to hold on anymore.

Gen Hoshino decisively issued the "retreat" order through the headset: "That's it. Find a reason to leave. Let's meet at the station where we came from."
