He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

"Remember to come tonight too."

"Thank you, thank you, Shirakawa-kun." Akita bowed repeatedly.

I thought Shirakawa would develop a rift with me, but I didn't expect him to still trust me so much and still call me over.

Judging from the attitudes of Miike and Mido's mother, Shirakawa is definitely not a bad person.

In that case, tonight, let's give "Shirakawa-kun" a proper welcome.

Akita left.

After they all left, Shirakawa changed into his Chenghuang Middle School uniform.

"Hey, Shirakawa, why are you wearing the Chenghuang Middle School uniform?" Miike asked in confusion.

"I'm going to Chenghuang Middle School to find someone," Shirakawa said, straightening his clothes.

"Who?"

"Yoshioka".

---

Miike drove a black sedan, carrying Shirakawa, towards Chenghuang Middle School.

Passing by a bustling commercial street.

Shirakawa sat in the back row, looking out the window at the bustling crowds of office workers who were working on holidays to make a living.

I am filled with emotion; the immense pressure on society is palpable.

Money will eventually run out if you keep spending it, so you have to find a way to make more.

He used the 999 million yuan he got from Qiushan as capital to make money.

Shirakawa doesn't understand investing and stocks very well. He can't even grasp the economy and trends in his original world, let alone in another world.

Perhaps taking over a shop would be a good option...

Well.....

"We're here!" Sanchi parked the car in front of Chenghuang Middle School.

Forget it, let's focus on dealing with Yoshioka.

At the entrance of Chenghuang Middle School, students were carrying various decorations and coming and going, seemingly preparing for the school festival.

However, the students at this school are not quite the same as those at Sakura High School. Many of them have dyed hair and look a bit rebellious, not like they are serious about studying.

This looks like it's going to be a bit tricky.

Just as Shirakawa was about to get out of the car, Miike called him back.

"what happened?"

"Is the Yoshioka you're looking for the delinquent leader of Chenghuang Middle School?"

"Why? Do you know him?"

“I wouldn’t say we knew each other.” Miike recalled carefully, “When we dealt with student bullying incidents before, we arrested a few delinquents, and their statements said that Yoshioka led them to cause trouble.”

"Then why don't you arrest him?"

"It's not that we don't want to catch them, it's that we can't catch them."

"Your police work is so inefficient, you can't even catch a student?"

Michi shook his head: "No, we went to Chenghuang Middle School and looked for all the students named Yoshioka. They all seemed to be well-behaved and good students."

"That can't be right. So, Yoshioka is his alias?"

"I don't know that."

I never imagined that Yoshioka was so mysterious.

"I'll go take a look. You wait here for me."

The police came to investigate in such a grand manner that Yoshioka must have been prepared and might have gone into hiding.

Shirakawa might secretly investigate as an ordinary student and perhaps make some unexpected discoveries.

"Then I'll wait for you here. Come back soon and be careful," Miike instructed. "I don't know what grudge you have against this Yoshioka, but he's a delinquent, so don't act rashly."

Miike Naeko has already come to regard Shirakawa as a close "partner".

"it is good."

Shirakawa put on his mask, straightened his school uniform, and headed towards Chenghuang Middle School.

132. The Real and Fake Yoshioka

The structure of Chenghuang Middle School is almost the same as that of Yingli High School, and Shirakawa did not get lost inside.

The students were excitedly preparing for the cultural festival, completely unaware that there was an oddball among them.

Shirakawa planned to start by investigating the first-year high school classrooms on the first floor, conducting a thorough search layer by layer, asking questions and looking for any clues related to Yoshioka, leaving no stone unturned.

"Hello, classmate, do you know Yoshioka?"

Shirakawa caught a male high school student and questioned him.

"Oh, Yoshioka, he's right there." A first-year high school student pointed to an ordinary girl who was engrossed in decorating the classroom.

......

It seems that finding someone based solely on their surname is quite troublesome.

When he was about to ask in another classroom, he happened to bump into a pretty girl in the corridor.

That's right, it's Yoshioka's girlfriend, the pretty girl with the brass knuckles tattoo on her chest.

The pretty girl was bundled up tightly, and her chest tattoo was covered by her school uniform, so it seems she knows how to hide her flaws.

Shirakawa grabbed her arm.

"Huh? What are you doing?" The pretty girl was startled, shook her hand, and took several steps back.

Oh no, I'm still wearing a mask. Will this mask expose me?

Fortunately, the pretty girl didn't recognize Shirakawa's chuunibyou-esque mask. It seems that every time someone wears a mask, it refreshes other people's impression of the user depending on their clothing.

This tool is quite useful.

"Hello, classmate, I'd like to ask where Yoshioka is?"

"Hey, what do you want with him?"

"I've always admired Yoshioka-sama and wanted to follow in his footsteps. I also want to become a passionate man like him, and I hope to become the leader of Chenghuang Middle School someday." Shirakawa said sincerely, just like he really meant it.

"Uh, I don't know where he is either." The pretty girl shook her head repeatedly. She didn't want to waste time with this boring little fanboy and turned to leave.

"Please, sister." Shirakawa grabbed the pretty girl's arm again, pleading earnestly, "I really want to see Boss Yoshioka. Could you tell me where he is right now?"

The pretty girl smacked her lips, somewhat displeased, but seeing her little fanboy begging her, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Hmm~ It's not that I don't want to tell you, I really don't know. I only ever see Yoshioka after school, and I've never seen him at school," the pretty girl replied. "However, he seems to be a third-year student. You can go to the third floor and take a look."

"Okay, thank you, thank you, sister." Shirakawa bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

The pretty girl turned and left; she didn't want to interact with these unimportant men any further.

Shirakawa went upstairs and pondered.

Combine this with the known clues about Yoshioka.

Cecilia once said that without his brass knuckles, he couldn't even beat Maki.

The Metropolitan Police Department never arrested him.

And he absolutely refused to take off his brass knuckles in the alley.

In addition, there's what the pretty girl just said.

In summary, we can only draw one conclusion: it is very likely that Yoshioka's physical condition will change after wearing brass knuckles.

In other words, one should not judge a book by its cover or have preconceived notions; one should record all suspicious individuals.

Shirakawa went straight to the third floor.

The atmosphere on the third floor for senior students is completely different from that for freshmen.

Very few people decorate for the school festival; they are either preparing for university entrance exams or a bunch of delinquents chatting and laughing with their arms around each other.

He even saw the guy with the pompadour and the scarred face that he had beaten up before. Some of them were wrapped in bandages, and some were using crutches. They looked very disheveled and were discussing rumors about Hero B with other delinquents, speculating about his true identity.

This place is not safe to stay any longer. Once you find a clue, it's best to leave quickly.

Shirakawa followed suit, continuing to ask questions in each classroom one by one.

When the scope is narrowed, the investigation becomes relatively easier.

There were only a handful of students with the surname Yoshioka on the senior floor, and they were all girls.
