Only I Have the Law: Tokyo Fantasy Daily Life

"I'll be waiting for you in hell!!"

Yuma Ueno uttered the most vicious curse at the end of his life.

Qingze raised his knife and severed his head, muttering under his breath, "You do have some self-awareness, knowing you'll go to hell."

The five bright red characters of "[Dark Knight Commander]" instantly merged, transforming into a red light that was more intense and solid than ever before, and pierced straight into his brow.

boom!

This time, the sense of empowerment brought by the label far exceeded that of the past.

It was as if a vast torrent of energy was rushing down from between his eyebrows, washing over his limbs and bones.

He clearly felt that his body was undergoing some subtle yet fundamental change.

Unlike the previous simple increases in strength and speed, this time, his body seemed to undergo a qualitative leap.

He subconsciously clenched his fist, and a warm current naturally surged through his body, with a faint blue light gathering on the surface of his fist.

Qingze loosened his fist and walked towards the washroom next to him.

He stood in front of the mirror on the wall and looked up.

Above the white tag on his head, another tag with a metallic sheen was added.

Bronze Knight

Qingze seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems he's pursuing a dual path of magic and martial arts.

That warm current just now...

From now on, let's call it magic.

He thought to himself, then turned and walked out of the washroom.

His gaze swept across the crimson living room before he walked behind the bar.

A dark blue six-pointed star magic circle appeared in his palm.

He crouched down, hovering his hand over the ground in front of him. With a thought, the blood flowing freely on the ground seemed to be absorbed by an invisible sponge and quickly disappeared.

However, this only applies to blood that has already left the body.

The blood that was still dripping from the severed wound on the body was not included in the collection.

Aozawa quickly put Iguchi Masakyu's head and body into Space Two, and then did the same thing to clean up the corpses of Ueno Yuzuru and Ando Taito, as well as all the scattered bloodstains and severed arms.

In an instant, the entire living room was restored to its original cleanliness, with no trace of bloodshed or struggle remaining, as if the terrifying massacre had never occurred.

After he finished doing all this, a dark purple pentagram magic circle silently lit up in the shadows beneath his feet.

A thick, liquid-like shadow surged out, enveloping and swallowing him completely before sinking into the ground and disappearing.

Almost at the same time.

The Superintendent General of Police was awakened from his sleep by a cell phone ringing. He groggily grabbed the flip phone from the bedside table, pressed the answer button, and said, "Hello."

"Inspector General Shiratori, the locator signal on Inspector Ueno's body has suddenly disappeared!"

Chapter 67 The Metropolitan Police Department's Inescapable Trap

"what?!"

Shiratori Seishiro gasped in surprise, his fingers tightening instinctively around his phone.

Installing a tracking device on Yuuma Ueno was their last line of defense in the "Fox" case.

All known intelligence indicates that "Fox" and the organization behind him are highly dangerous and fully capable of committing the audacious act of kidnapping a police superintendent.

Therefore, throughout the entire investigation, Yuuma Ueno's uniform was fitted with a positioning device inside.

According to regulations, he must report in advance if he goes to any location outside his usual schedule.

If someone appears outside of their regular schedule without prior notification, it will be considered a kidnapping.

But now, the locator's signal is not abnormal, it has completely disappeared.

This can only mean that the other party found the locator on Yuuma Ueno and destroyed it.

This indirectly confirms that the person is currently in an extremely dangerous situation.

Shiratori Seishiro suppressed his shock and asked sharply, "Where was the last place the signal disappeared?"

"Report: This is the private residence of the Ueno Superintendent."

"Using the above-mentioned family as the center, notify all patrol units within a one-kilometer radius to immediately implement traffic control and form an encirclement as quickly as possible. We must not let the fox escape!"

"Hi!"

A respectful reply came from the other end of the phone.

Shiratori Seishiro quickly hung up the phone and abruptly got out of bed.

Beside him, the young woman murmured languidly, "Daddy, where are you going..."

"I have urgent business to attend to."

Shiratori Seishiro spoke curtly, without a trace of tenderness, and quickly changed out of his pajamas and into the uniform of the Superintendent General of Police.

As he buttoned his shirt, he dialed the police commissioner's private number, briefing him on the grim situation they faced in the most concise language.

"Handle the situation with all your might according to your plan, and make sure to bring it under control."

The Commissioner General of Police gave explicit authorization.

With his superiors' approval, Shiratori Seishiro didn't delay any longer. He strode out of his bedroom and woke up his driver and bodyguard who were on standby at all times.

The group hurriedly left the luxurious villa in the deep of night.

……

Orders were rapidly issued from the Metropolitan Police Department's Security Division, like pebbles thrown into calm water, instantly creating ripples.

Patrol cars around Pinghe Town were quickly mobilized and roadblocks were set up at key intersections to implement emergency traffic control.

At the same time, four armed helicopters roared into the sky and began to patrol and circle over Pinghe Town, their searchlight beams slicing through the night like sharp swords.

The orders from higher command were ruthless: any vehicle or person attempting to forcibly break through the checkpoint would be treated as a terrorist.

After a warning was ignored, they opened fire and killed the person.

Qingze was silently leaping in the shadows of the building when he saw the helicopters circling in the sky and the flashing police lights on the street, which surprised him slightly.

Even though Hirakawa-cho is very close to Kasumigaseki, the Metropolitan Police Department's response was much faster than expected.

Did they do anything to Yuuma Ueno?

The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

In any case, he had already thrown the body into the second storage space, a subspace completely isolated from the real world, where no one could find it.

Using the Shadow Binding magic, Qingze easily passed through the Metropolitan Police Department's carefully laid encirclement without attracting anyone's attention.

Meanwhile, around Pinghe Town, more and more police cars were rushing in from all directions, their sirens blaring and breaking the tranquility of the night.

Traffic control is only the first step, aimed at preventing the target from escaping by car at high speed.

This was followed by a thorough house search.

Seishiro Shiratori personally arrived at the temporary command center set up on site.

Beside a massive command vehicle, a group of high-ranking officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, led by the Nara Superintendent General, were already lined up and waiting. As he stepped out of the vehicle, they all bowed and saluted, "Good evening, Superintendent General Shiratori!"

"Alright, now's not the time for these polite words!"

Shiratori Seishiro's expression was grim. He waved his hand to interrupt the formalities, strode to the huge screen wall inside the command vehicle, and asked in a deep voice, "Nara, report the situation on the ground immediately!"

"Yes!"

The Nara Metropolitan Police Superintendent stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of confidence in his control of the situation, "We have mobilized the maximum police force and sealed off all major roads within a one-kilometer radius of Hirakawa-cho."

The air force's helicopters are conducting continuous patrols and surveillance overhead.

Meanwhile, police officers urgently drawn from surrounding districts are conducting door-to-door searches of all buildings within the sealed-off area!

At this point, a hint of pride flashed across his face as he assured him, "Please rest assured!"

I guarantee with my position that even if that fox really grew wings, it would never be able to escape the inescapable net we've laid!

Shiratori Seishiro pressed further, "Was anyone sent to the Ueno residence to conduct an on-site investigation?"

"The forensic team and technical investigation team have entered the scene immediately, and we believe that preliminary conclusions will be available soon."

"very good."

Shiratori Seishiro nodded, a hint of relief finally appearing on his face. "It seems the fox case, which has been so rampant for so long, should finally come to a complete close tonight."

To dare to target a high-ranking police officer like a superintendent, this "fox" is either out of his mind or completely insane.

But self-destruction is the inevitable fate of these two types of people.

……

Half an hour later.

The atmosphere inside the command vehicle became incredibly heavy, almost to the point of being oppressive.

The previous ease on Shiratori Seishiro's face had long been replaced by anxiety and uncontrollable anger.

The Nara police inspector, who had previously made a solemn promise, was now drenched in sweat, not even daring to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

The reality was quite the opposite of what they had expected.

Not only did no news of the fox's whereabouts come from below, but the three police officers, including Yuzuru Ueno, also vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

Meanwhile, online public opinion has begun to ferment.

Fortunately, due to the sheer scale of the Metropolitan Police Department's actions tonight, netizens are currently focusing more on curiosity.

Why is the Metropolitan Police Department making such a large-scale arrest? Who exactly are they trying to arrest?

But everyone knows that if nothing is found in the end, this curiosity will soon turn into a deluge of criticism.

Shiratori Seishiro's icy gaze swept over Nara like a knife, his voice squeezed out through clenched teeth, "Is this the 'no escape' you promised me?!"
