The tall, skinny man swallowed nervously, having no idea how he had offended the other party.
"I just came out to scam some money. In a place like Beika, is that even a big deal? Was this really necessary?"
"This looks even more serious than murder!"
The tall, skinny man grumbled inwardly, but then he thought of something crucial. That's right, I'm a scammer. Why am I being so honest?
I should use my professional skills to talk my way out of this!
With that in mind, the scammer recalled all the preparations he had made for fraud and immediately shouted:
"Who the hell are you? Why are you beating people up for no reason?"
"I'm warning you, this is intentional assault, and you're doing it right outside my home!"
"Watch out, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"Huh?"
Fujino was briefly dumbfounded. The man's face was perfectly calm; anyone who did not know better would have thought they had returned to one of those pyramid scheme dens from his previous life.
You're a scammer, yet you're acting righteous and even want to call the police on me?
Were scammers this bold nowadays?
Fujino narrowed his eyes, patted the Wooden Sword in his hand, and smiled. "Heh, don't think I don't know who lives in the Anno family's house."
"You say you're Anno? Then I'm your mother!"
"A burglar breaking into someone's home should be prepared to get the hell beaten out of him!"
"Take this!"
With that, Fujino grabbed the Wooden Sword and unleashed a savage beating, swinging it so fast it nearly threw sparks.
The skinny scammer wailed miserably beneath the blows, making the three First Investigation Division officers lying in ambush on either side feel a chill run down the backs of their necks.
