Chi Bojinghua, with sharp eyes, fluttered her folding fan.
Kakakaka—!
In just a few seconds, he had blocked several slashes from the katana with the back of his fan, getting closer and closer until he was about to enter the disarming range.
"Get out of my way!"
Seeing that someone was stopping her from committing suicide, Shibata Kyoko became somewhat deranged. She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly with both hands, raised the katana high, and slashed straight at Ikenami Shizuka's head.
Ikeba Shizuka remained calm and composed, her folding fan already prepared.
With a click, the back of the fan made contact with the blade again.
Before Ikeba Shizuka could deflect the blade and relieve the downward force, the bamboo back of the folding fan could no longer support it, and the 960 was directly cut in half by the sharp blade!
The cold, sharp blade instantly approached Ikeba Shizuka's forehead, and she could already foresee being cleaved in two.
Ikeba Shizuka's pupils contracted sharply: How could she have died here?!
At this critical moment,
The dangerous blade was held between a pair of fingers.
Ikeba Shizuka was pulled back a step and fell into someone's firm embrace.
Although the time was very short
But Ikeba Shizuka instantly recognized that the owner of the finger was Itake Karuta.
Because in that dream, those fingers left her with many profound memories.
Naturally, the owner of this embrace is also Izuki Karuta.
After clamping the blade between her fingers, Izuki Karuta flicked it to the side.
The katana in Shibata Kyoko's hand was instantly pulled away by a powerful force and deeply embedded in the wall.
Izuki Qingtian said coldly, "I see you have no remorse at all. You killed your own husband, not only framed him, but now you're thinking of killing others!"
If I had known Shibata Kyoko was so shameless, I should have just let her commit suicide in the room.
Kyoko Shibata then came to her senses and quickly bowed her head, "I-I'm sorry, Ms. Ikenami..."
It was only then that Ikeba Shizuka came to her senses and felt the hot and strong hand on her abdomen, and a blush immediately appeared on her delicate face.
She was actually thinking about those fingers the whole time!
Chapter 214 Teasing the Unbearable Beauty Again
"Th-thank you, I'm fine now."
Ikeba Shizuka gave her a gentle push.
Izuki Shigeta released his hand. "You're welcome. Protecting the safety of our clients is simply my duty."
Then he whispered, "Besides, it's a rare opportunity to get close to Miss Ikebab."
The words already carried a hint.
Hearing this, Ikeba Shizuka blushed and her heart pounded. She felt ashamed and annoyed, unwilling to admit that she had been aroused.
But since she had just been saved, she couldn't scold him, so she could only open her folding fan to cover her flushed cheeks.
But she forgot that the folding fan had been cut in half, becoming a short fan, with the fan blades only covering her red lips, which only made her blushing cheeks more obvious.
The smile on Izuki Shizuta's lips grew even wider.
He knew everything in his dream.
The seemingly serious Ikebami Shizuka in front of me is just a little girl who spends most of her time practicing kendo.
"..."
Chibo Jinghua felt that her thoughts were completely seen through by that burning gaze, and she had no secrets left. She panicked and quickly ran to the balcony to get some fresh air.
Subsequently, Officer Yokomizo sent officers to detain Kyoko Shibata and remove her from the scene.
They also invited Izuki Karuta and Ikenami Shizuka to the police station to cooperate with the taking of statements.
The real culprit has confessed, and the two are not suspects, but this is a necessary procedure. Officer Yokomizo personally drove the two to the police station.
The statement was just a formality and it was over in 10 minutes.
At 6:30 pm, as night began to fall,
At the entrance of the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Station.
Officer Yokomizo looked at him with admiration and grabbed Itake Karuta's arm, "Mr. Itake, please take me as your apprentice."
"I want to learn crime-solving methods from you! Or become a luck-changing master!"
If you can learn the method to solve cases quickly, your future will be limitless!
Being a fortune teller can bring in a lot of money!
Izuki Karuta was speechless. He pressed down on Yokomizo's face, which kept getting closer. "Sorry, Officer Yokomizo, you don't have the talent to be a transfer agent."
"As for solving the case, it all depends on how many clues you find at the crime scene."
"I have no plans to take on any apprentices right now, so let's not bring this up again."
Detective Yokomizo, still persistent, said, "Mr. Itake helped solve the case today, so please stay tonight and let me entertain you..."
The dinner table and the drinking table are the places where men can most easily strengthen their friendships.
If we get him drunk, we'll definitely have a chance to persuade Mr. Yizhu to accept him as a disciple!
then,
Officer Yokomizo noticed that Itake Karuta had a half-smile on his face.
Just when he thought the matter was settled.
A cold glint flashed in Izuki Shigeta's eyes.
Overwhelmed by fear, Officer Yokomizo collapsed to the ground.
"Such a grand gesture is unnecessary when expressing gratitude."
"See you next time, Officer Yokomizo."
With a smile, Izuki Karuta took Ikenami Shizuka's hand and walked towards a car parked near the police station.
Vermouth was sitting in the driver's seat of that car.
After the two got into the car, Vermouth did not start the engine, but waited quietly for orders.
In the dimly lit back seat, Izuki Karita looked at Ikenami Shizuka:
“Miss Ikenami, it’s already late.”
"Even if I rushed to the train station, there were no trains back to Osaka."
"I wonder if we should stay in Shizuoka Prefecture tonight, or go back to Beika for the night?"
As she spoke, Izuki Karuta still did not let go of Ikenami Shizuka's hand.
He even deliberately checked Ikeba Shizuka's pulse and found that her heart rate had reached 100 beats per minute.
Chibo Jinghua said, embarrassed and annoyed, "Just let me out of the car, I'll find a place to spend the night myself!"
If the young man hadn't been holding her back, she wouldn't have wanted to get on the bus at all, but she couldn't break free.
Her heartbeat was being blatantly monitored, leaving Ikenami Shizuka with absolutely no privacy.
"Protecting the safety of my customers is my duty."
Izuki Karuta said with concern, "I won't be at ease until I see Miss Ikenami check into the hotel with my own eyes."
"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens and my 200 million yen reward goes to waste, that would be terrible."
Then, disregarding Ikenami Shizuka's opinion, he directly had Vermouth drive back to Mika.
An hour and a half later,
At 8 p.m., Vermouth drove back to Beika City and parked in front of a star-rated hotel.
Meanwhile, in the back seat, Ikeba Shizuka was fast asleep, a happy smile on her lips.
Izuki Karuta did not wake her up immediately.
Instead, he converses with Ikenami Shizuka within the dreamscape of the Illusion Array.
The scenes in the dream were just like those in reality.
It was also in the back seat of the car.
However, unlike before, Shizuka Ikenami was sitting in Karuta Itake's lap, her kimono already disheveled.
"Alright, we've arrived at our destination."
Izuki Karuta whispered softly in Ikenami Shizuka's ear, "It's time for you to wake up too."
"What do you mean by 'it's time to wake up'?" Ikeba Shizuka asked, puzzled.
Izuki Karita gently stroked Ikenami Shizuka's face: "Because this was just a dream of yours."
