Chapter 619 – Relic

　　The moment those words were uttered, the surroundings fell silent.

　　The police officers who had originally walked past Lin Qiye’s two men all turned their heads slightly sideways, secretly sizing up Yuzu Rina and turning their heads to whisper something to their companions.

　　The female police officer was stunned for a moment, and immediately flipped open the record book in her hand, handing it over to Yuzurina’s body.

　　”Please leave your name, number, and contact information on this, and register the accompanying person as well.”

　　After Yuzu Rina wrote down her information, Lin Qiye took the record book and wrote down the name “Asa Feather Seven Nights”, as for the number at the back, he made one up as he went along, and the contact information was even more so.

　　The female police officer scanned the record book and put it away, then she led the two of them towards the interior of the police station.

　　”Please follow me.”

　　The two followed the policewoman through several long corridors and eventually arrived at a narrow room.

　　There were several metal shelves neatly arranged in this room, each of which held a variety of strange items, belts, necklaces, cell phones, earrings …… In front of these shelves were affixed their respective codes, as well as the names of their original owners.

　　The policewoman checked the codes against the information and walked over to one of the shelves, removing a basket from it and handing it over to Yuzuru Riina.

　　”These are the relics from Yuzuri Kurosetsu’s body, you receive them, if there are no other questions please sign here and then go next door to collect his ashes.”

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the basket, the items inside were very simple and all very common.

　　A lighter, a ring, a cell phone that was already broken beyond recognition, and a wallet.

　　”Is this all there is?” Lin Qiye asked.

　　”Yes, that’s all that was recovered from him.”

　　Yuzurina’s gaze swept over the four items, lingering on the ring for a moment as a complex color emerged in her eyes.

　　This ring, like the one on her mother’s hand, was the wedding ring of the two of them.

　　”I see.” Yuzurina signed the handover document, and after putting the four items away, she walked straight towards the next room.

　　Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she stopped in her tracks.

　　”By the way, can I ask ……” Yuzurina turned her head to look at the female police officer and spoke in a small voice, “Why was he listed as a wanted criminal, and how was he caught?”

　　The female constable was stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke:

　　”The reason why he became a wanted criminal is classified and not convenient to disclose to the public, but he was personally killed by Lord Oracle, and we police are only responsible for the closing work.”

　　Oracle Envoy ……

　　Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.

　　Hearing this reply, Yuzurina’s lips pursed slightly as she nodded and walked into the next room.

　　A few minutes later, she walked out from it holding an altar of ashes.

　　”Let’s go.” Yuzurina said to Lin Qiye.

　　The two of them took a few relics and the urn and left the police station, looking out at the forest of tall buildings and through traffic, Yuzurina was a bit frustrated.

　　”What’s wrong?” Lin Qiye asked.

　　”Nothing.” Yuzurina hugged the urn and shook her head, “In the end, still haven’t gotten to the bottom of things ……”

　　Lin Qiye let out a long sigh, this result was expected.

　　Amamiya Haruhui had told Lin Qiye that [Fierce Ghost] level wanted criminals were beyond the scope of what the police could deal with, and were generally taken over directly by the oracle envoys, and it was true that the police department did not always know the inner workings of cases of this level within the police department, and even if they did know, it was impossible to talk about it.

　　After this period of adaptation, Lin Qiye had basically figured out the situation in this country. On the surface, this country had police, yakuza, fugitives, and a large number of ordinary people, while the [Pure Land] was an existence that transcended the mundane world and didn’t seem to intervene in anything other than delivering and numbering every newborn baby.

　　At first, Lin Qiye thought that the [Pure Land] should be on the side of the police and maintain order in society, but now it seemed that this was not the case, more than a ruler, its existence was more like a surveillance, quietly hovering over this country, indifferently monitoring everything.

　　Only when an existence beyond the scope of earthly response appeared, such as a wanted criminal above the [Fierce Ghost] level like Amamiya Haruhide, would it send an oracle to intervene.

　　The most direct evidence of this was that the [Pure Land] clearly had the number of every person in this country and could monitor an individual’s physical signs and locate them through this string of numbers, yet it did not share them with the police, otherwise so many wanted criminals would inevitably not be able to escape a single one of them.

　　The same was true for the existence of the triads, if the [Pure Land] really intended to purge the triads, they would only need to send out one oracle envoy to eliminate all of the so-called Earth Twin Fiends and the Black Killer Group, but they didn’t do so.

　　They seemed to be deliberately simulating a normal social environment?

　　Lin Qiye didn’t know what exactly the [Pure Land]’s purpose was, and right now, the information he had was still too little.

　　”Maybe not knowing anything is a good thing.” Lin Qiye opened his mouth to comfort him as he glanced at the time, “Let’s go eat a meal first, and in the afternoon, you can take the Shinkansen back.”

　　Yuzurina let out a long sigh.

　　”Anything you want to eat? My treat.”

　　Yuzurina’s frustrated gaze brightened slightly as she thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t we go to Dotonbori? I heard there’s a Kobe beef there that looks delicious.”

　　Dotonbori was Osaka’s most famous eating and drinking center, many years ago it was the gathering place of various grand theaters, but now it had turned into a place where bursting pedestrian streets and stores converged, and it was extremely popular, Yuzurina had heard of this place before, and now that it was a rare visit to Osaka, she of course wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

　　”Good.” Lin Qiye, who was unfamiliar with the place, naturally had no opinion.

　　Lin Qiye walked to the curb with Yuzu Rina, called a car, and drove straight toward Dotonbori.

　　”Mr. Wells, they left the police station.”

　　At the entrance of the police station, in a nondescript black sedan, a man wrapped in a black coat picked up the intercom and said.

　　”How many people?”

　　”A Yuzuri Kurosetsu’s daughter, and a young man.”

　　”What’s the man’s identity, did you find out?”

　　”The name he left at the police station’s questioning center is ‘Asahina Seven Nights’, we’re still checking his origin based on the number, and we should have the results soon.”

　　On the other end of the phone, Mr. Wells was silent for a few seconds.

　　”Go after him.”

　　”Yes.”

　　After the cab merged into the traffic, this black sedan suddenly started, and at the same time, the dozens of different cars staggered on both sides of the street also started, quickly merging into the traffic and following behind that cab.

　　In the cab.

　　Lin Qiye, who was sitting in the backseat, looked like he had sensed something and his eyes narrowed slightly.
