"Ji-san!" Kenkyo hugged me when I came to pick her up. She seems fine.

"You look happy here." I said glancing at my father, Tokyo Police Chief Takahashi Ryosuke.

"Ryosuke ji-san treats me like a princess here. Of course I'm happy." The answer was cheerful.

of course. You're a darling, Kenkyo. After all, there is a relationship between you, father, and me. Of course you are special.

I sighed.

"Never mind, permission to outou-san there." My orders to this seventeen year old teenage girl.

She complied. Dad at me making me want to just squeak.

***

I took her to the ice cream parlor. Summer does make ice cream taste even more delicious. As promised, I took her to enjoy ice cream.

As usual she will order her favorite chocolate ice cream. I watched her enjoy the ice. Really childish.

"Ji-san why are you looking at me like that? Ji-san want my ice?"

I'm confused. Wait! How long is he going to call me 'uncle'? At least 'brother' only. Hey I'm still young!

"Nii-san!"

"Hmm??" she doesn't seem to understand.

"Call me nii-san. I'm not that old, Kenkyo-chan. Also, you call my father 'ji-san', time to call me 'ji-san' too."

And again the Takumi also thought that Kenkyo was my nephew because he called me uncle.

She giggled. "Alright, nii-san." she said

"So what is Takumi's motive, nii-san?" she asked curiously.

"Love. His love was rejected by Tamaki-san."

"Of course, Takumi already has Rin."

"Well that's what this murder was for, sweetheart. While you know this secret. So, to avenge you, he plans to send you to prison and Takami-san to the afterlife. But he's a total idiot."

"Why is that?"

I smirked at her question.

"Because as long as I breathe, I will not let you far from me. As long as I live, I will not let danger approach you."

I saw her blush and covered her face. Maybe embarrassed. And I really like that expression.

***

"Nii-san look!!" Kenkyo was hysterical while prancing like a teenager.

I turned my gaze to where Kenkyo's index finger was pointing.

"What's interesting?"

Teenagers today are weird. Just a bunch of people, so in demand.

"Nii-san! That's Zhou Zan Da-san! Kenkyo's favorite singer. Kyaaaaa!!! There's also a music producer. Kyaaaa is handsome! His name is Watanabe Takeru! Huaaa Taku-kun."

I gasped. What is the keisho 'kun' that he pinned on Watabene, Wabenata?? Or who it was.

"Home! Time's up!" I said pulling Kenkyo's hand.

I briefly at the group of people. What's handsome? I'm much prettier than the music producer.

"Bad Nii-san! I hate ji-san!"

Uh! Why are you being 'ji-san' again?

"I still have work to do. You know? I'm sent to Seoul tomorrow. So have to get ready."

I am not lying. I will indeed be assigned to assist Inspector Lee and detective Rae-ah, the intelligence superior says. Looks like there's an international criminal on duty this time around. If South Korea and Japan cooperate in the field of intelligence, the meaning of 'he' must be very dangerous.

"Do you want to come along?" I was offered.

"May I join?" he asked enthusiastically.

I nodded, "Of course".

then took her hand and led her to the car.

"I don't hate ji-san. I really like nii-san." She said to me.

I chuckled, ruffling her hair.

Base!!

(Lee Tae-gyeon POV)

I don't know why this morning I had a bad feeling. Not because of anything, but my hunch is always right. Cha Seung-chan opened the door to my room and ran to me. Gosh... this kid has no manners towards his seniors.

"Senior, Commissioner Kang Jang-hyuk is calling for you!"

"Hey, can't you knock on the door before you come in?"

"Sorry, Senior Lee," he said, bowing. "I hope you mentally prepare yourself before entering Commissioner Kang's room," he added.

I was curious about what my father-in-law wanted to talk to his future son-in-law.

Could it be my wedding plans with Rae-ah?

Oh, I hope so.

I walked towards Commissioner Kang's room. I knocked on the door and slowly entered. In front of the Chief of Police or Commissioner Kang is already seated his favorite daughter, Kang Rae-ah my lover. He smiled mysteriously at me. Hmm, I'm starting to have a bad feeling especially seeing Rae-ah's smile.

I bow to Commissioner Kang.

"Did you call me, Commissioner Kang?"

"Hmm, sit down!"

I complied and sat next to Rae-ah. The girl still had that mysterious smile on her face.

"Inspector Lee Tae-gyeon, starting tomorrow I will transfer you to the Special Criminal Unit to join the division led by Rae-ah."

Gosh... I thought so. Shhh!!! I feel like I want to teach this girl a lesson right now.

"Sorry, Commissioner Kang. I'm comfortable being part of the General Oversight Inspectorate. After all, tomorrow I also have to escort Major Lee Kwang-soo."

I tried to persuade Commissioner Kang.

"Start preparing to move your things. Tomorrow you will also have guests from the Japanese National Intelligence Service," he said casually, ignoring my request. Shit!! This man and his daughter are always controlling me.

He walks away, leaving me with Rae-ah in her room.

I stare coldly at Rae-ah. He just smiled innocently.

"Hey, why are you doing this to me, huh??"

Rae-ah pulled back the corner of her lips.

"Never mind, just accept your destiny with me, oppa. After all, tomorrow we have a special guest. I heard he is very handsome and genius. Aren't you afraid I'll turn to him??"

Shhh!! I clenched my fists in anger. Sometimes they transfer me to a different division. Gosh... even division head Kang Rae-ah herself?? What a damn!! I never imagined being ordered around by women.

"Do I have to call you Detective Lee now instead of Inspector Lee anymore, sir?"

He winked, with a triumphant smile.

If it wasn't a girl I would have beaten this girl. I drew closer to him.

Cups!

I kissed his lips briefly and walked away. Leaving him still in shock from my sudden attack.

"Hahaha, this is your punishment, Detective Kang."

***

Incheon Regional Police Station, South Korea. A man about 31 years old walked casually into the building. Several people greeted and bowed to him.

"Irrashaimase, Takahashi-san! We have been waiting for your arrival. All members of the division are waiting in the meeting room."

Shinsuke nodded and followed the steps of the man in front of him. What he now knows is that the man's name is Detective Moo Tae-gu, a member of the Special Crimes Unit team.

All members of the Special Crimes Unit are

hold a meeting. The meeting was chaired by Division Head Kang Rae-ah. Detective Moo knocked on the door and entered followed by Detective Takahashi Shinsuke. All the team members greeted with a slight bow of the head.

Team Leader Kang Rae-ah greeted and shook Detective Takahashi Shinsuke's hand.

"Welcome, Detective Shinsuke. We've heard a lot about you. About the hundreds of cases you've solved. We ask for your cooperation."

"I also heard a lot about your genius, Team Leader Kang."

"Hahaha, you can," said Rae-ah as she lightly patted Shinsuke's arm. The commissioner's son sometimes gets out of control when he is being praised.

"Ahem!"

Heep sound.

"Can the meeting start soon, Chairman Kang?" said Lee Tae-gyeon. Rae-ah glared at Tae-gyeon as if her gaze could be interpreted "Just annoying!".

Rae-ah takes a deep breath and tells Detective Shinsuke to sit next to Tae-gyeon. He immediately walked gracefully to the front of the large LED projector screen.

"Okay, we'll talk about the murder of Miss Yukiko Shinoda, a member of a Japanese girl group. She was killed during a concert with other members in Incheon. Therefore, Detective Shinsuke specifically came from the Japanese National Police to investigate this case," said Rae. -ah firmly.

Chairman Kang, it seems that Miss Yukiko is not the only victim. The murder of the famous model Moon Jae-in also has the same wound. He was stabbed with a sharp object in the throat. Case 2 years ago. Detective Moo Tae-gu spoke.

Rae-ah shows some photos of murder victims from 2013 to 2017

"Well, it's true. It's been confirmed that this is a serial murder. Not only model Moon, rising actress Shin Se-kyung also has the same wound. Hollow throat and scarred face," said Rae-ah.

"That grater isn't the one to measure the coconut, isn't it, chief?" asked Cha Seong-chan innocently.

Plaque!!!

Map managed to land on his head.

"That's called a grater, you idiot!!" Tae-gyeon hit Seong-chan.

"Senior, you always mistreat me!!!" Seong-chan complained.

Rae-ah and everyone can only shake their heads at Seong-chan's behavior.

Detective Takahashi stepped forward and stood by Rae-ah's side. He has full authority in this case. "Judging by the wounds on their throats, they looked like chopsticks or maybe a screwdriver? Takahashi revealed his analysis.

"You're really great comrade Shinsuke," said Rae-ah.

Tae-gyeon who saw it looked embarrassed. While occasionally grumbling, I don't know what he said.

The meeting went on for several hours to discuss the murder.

*****

TW Entertainment Office   Tokyo, Japan.

A man sits casually in his office playing with his pen. He read several profiles of the artists.

"Hmm, you guys are a gold mine to me," he mumbled as he kept tapping his pen on the table until it rang

tek... tek... tek... tek...

A girl around the age of 26 entered the music Producer's office of TW Entertainment. He sat and looked worried.

"Taku-kun!! Can you just stay silent like this? The artists under your agency have been killed one by one. Why are you still relaxed? Maybe I'll be the next target after this. Taku-kun!! Did you hear me?" ??!"

Zhou Zan Da's voice screamed slightly.

Takeru Watanabe, the man in front of Zan Da just smirked. He is a music producer at the TW Entertainment agency. He is known to be very calm, sometimes also cold and arrogant when dealing with his fellow producers' rivals.

"You'll be safe if you obey me, Zan Da-san!" Takeru said casually as he leaned back in his swivel chair.

Zan Da remained silent, still looking as worried as before.

*****

In one of the hotels in the metropolis of Incheon. A 17 year old girl is sitting casually watching tv in hotel room number 456.

Suddenly a 27 year old man entered without permission.

"Kenichi nii-san!! Why surprise me??!!"

The girl pursed her lips.

"Let's go for a walk! While waiting for Shinsuke nii-san to come home!" take the man. His name is Kenichi Akiyama. Shinsuke's distant relative who lived in South Korea since childhood. Kenichi is a successful businessman. CEO at a well-known company in Incheon.

He happens to live near Shinsuke and Kenkyo's hotels. It was Shinsuke who told him to take care of Kenkyo for a while.

"Ah, but Shinsuke nii-san told me to stay in the room. He was afraid that I would be kidnapped. A lot of cute girls like me want that," said Kenkyo while putting on the cutest face possible.

Kenichi was very excited and pinched Kenkyo's cheek.

"There's an onii-san! Kenkyo-chan is safe in onii-san's protection. Remember the anime Samurai-X? That's the kind of thing onii-san will kill anyone who teases Kenkyo-chan."

"Hahaha, after all Kenichi nii-san usually holds stock papers, why is he acting like a great samurai?"

"Don't be surprised, Kenkyo-chan. Ryousuke ji-san's talent has also passed down to his nephew."

Kenichi rolled his eyes.

"Oh well, what do you guys need to come to South Korea?" Kenichi asked.

"We're on a mission, Nii-san," said Kenkyo with a mysterious smile.
