The news of Aoki Yusuke's death reached the Countermeasure Department immediately.
Before his colleagues could even voice their thoughts, the pressure began to mount.
Aoki Tsuna used his influence as a legislator and the Aoki Family's connections to put pressure on the Countermeasure Department.
Although the pressure could only affect the lower and middle ranks, that was more than enough.
The Ultimate Bliss Cult was the prime suspect. After all, the Aoki Family had confirmed that the assassin was a member of the cult—and a woman at that.
Fang Cheng, who had clashed with Aoki Yusuke recently, was the second suspect.
However, after investigating him, the Countermeasure Department found that he had an almost perfect alibi. Fang Cheng had also played a part in the God Descent Day incident, so it was unlikely that he had colluded with the Ultimate Bliss Cult.
Of course, none of that mattered. What mattered most was that on the night Aoki Yusuke was killed, the Countermeasure Department's rising star and the Goddess cherished and doted on by countless devoted admirers—Kanzaki Rin—had actually gone to a hotel with Fang Cheng.
The news spread through the Countermeasure Department like wildfire, setting off an uproar among the young male employees.
Countless female colleagues secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Countless devoted admirers had their hearts broken and hid in corners, silently tending to their wounded souls.
Some of them even cried, "They must have gone to the hotel to play video games!" They refused to accept reality.
Those devoted admirers were truly pitiful.
Fang Cheng had no idea that he had become the enemy of every man in the Countermeasure Department.
Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.
Have a hundred Kanzaki Rins slept with you? No? Then shut up. Don't say a word.
