"If the Nomu -controlling device is a Quirk, that's fine, but if it's a receiving device, then your police force will need to do some work."

Jilan Jiyu watched as the two police officers at the detention center diligently took notes. He took a sip of the Sancha that Officer San Cha had provided to All Might and him, and added, "You can think of the Nomu as a Bluetooth-connected device. Anyone with the terminal will automatically connect to the Nomu as long as they are within range and manipulate it to escape... If he wants to pursue greater interests, he can completely prevent the Nomu from acting for the time being. When you interrogate him and believe he is completely harmless, he can suddenly attack, threatening your lives. The enemies locked up in the detention center will also take this opportunity to escape."

"... Then what should we do?" Thinking of the horrific image of himself being Nomu into a pulp by a Nomu, one policeman swallowed hard and asked in a low voice.

"My advice to you is to put the Nomu in a room that blocks all signals. Although there's a chance it might be detected the moment the door opens, it's all down to luck," Jilan Jiyu shrugged. "Of course, if you find out where the Nomu device's receiver is as soon as possible, you don't need to worry about this."

The two police officers exchanged a glance and reached a consensus: they needed to get their superiors to take this seriously and send an expert to resolve the matter—for their own safety!

Seeing that the work here was nearing completion, Inspector Tsukauchi stood up and smiled at All Might, saying, "As expected of U.A. High School. student, you've helped us analyze the truth behind this monster."

"Haha, of course! He's our Class A monitor!" All Might laughed, hands on his hips, feeling proud of Jilan Jiyu.

"By the way, would you be interested in having him as a special advisor to the police, like you?" Inspector Tsukauchi suddenly said, "I think people with his clear logical analytical skills are a rare breed. If he were willing to work for the police, he would definitely achieve great things..."

"Tsukauchi- kun, you know, a kid like him..." All Might interrupted him, "Will definitely become a hero."

"..." Inspector Tsukauchi chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Yeah, I asked a stupid question."

"All Might, may I go now?"

Jilan Jiyu walked towards the two of them, who immediately stopped and began to talk. "I want to go to the hospital to see Mr. Aizawa and Teacher Thirteen."

Due to the severity of their injuries, they were sent to Hero Specialist Private Hospital for specialized treatment.

"Ah, I won't go. I came directly from the hospital to the police station this morning." All Might waved his hand to indicate that he wasn't going to go to the hospital again.

"Jilan, do you need me to give you a ride? It's rush hour now, and you might not be able to get on the subway if you go."

Jilan Jiyu thought about it. If they wanted to go to the hospital, they would need to transfer subways several times. They were unwilling to spend so much money on a taxi. It would be more convenient if someone could take them.

Just as Jilan Jiyu was about to say "Thank you for your help," a disheveled-looking man barged into the reception room. He paused for a moment upon seeing All Might, nodded slightly, but still said to Inspector Tsukauchi, "Tsukauchi, when are you going to release Xiaojie?"

He was wearing a disheveled t-shirt with a leather jacket over it, the sleeves and collar studded with rivets. He had a bandana over his long, flowing hair, and his beard looked like it hadn't been shaved in a long time. He looked like a United States hippie from the 60s or 70s, or a street racer who had been banned in Japan.

Inspector Tsukauchi ignored his completely disrespectful remarks, rubbing his temples and saying with a headache, "Kyoka- kun, I really don't have the energy to deal with your guy. He's the criminal who attacked U.A. High School..."

"With his trashy Quirk, how could he possibly be the culprit who attacked U.A. High School.?" The man snorted, seemingly disdainful of the man he was referring to. "He must have thought his bunch of cronies were going to a party somewhere, that's why he followed them so eagerly. There's no way he could have harbored any intention to attack U.A. High School. or any hostility towards All Might."

The man then looked at All Might and said, "Since All Might is here too, why don't you tell me, do you think Quirk with the useless Intuition quirk would be your enemy?"

"Zhen, I don't know either..." All Might seemed to know this person well, scratching his head awkwardly and laughing, "When I arrived at the scene, the enemy had already been taken care of by my students and Aizawa- kun. I was just cleaning up."

From their conversation, it's clear that the person he's demanding release is a nobody, and that he himself has only ever crossed paths with Shigaraki and his group...

Inspector Tsukauchi, seemingly having exhausted his patience, coldly dismissed him. "Kyoka Makoto, I respected you for being a former Pro Hero, which is why I didn't tell you the truth. But now I understand, saying anything to you is just a waste of time. Don't you understand? Your so-called buddy, Diduo Chengjie, is a criminal who attacked U.A. High School. Ultimately, what he did in the attack is irrelevant, but his presence at the scene constitutes a fait accompli, and he will be imprisoned for several years as a criminal!"

Inspector Tsukauchi took a deep breath to calm himself, and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible, but firmly, "Kyoka- kun, I've already made it very clear to you, he will absolutely not be released. Now, please leave."

While the two of them were talking, Jilan Jiyu took a moment to ask All Might, "Who is he? Do you know him?"

"He used to be a Pro Hero, now he's the lead singer of a band and the owner of a hero agency," All Might crouched down, shielding his eyes with his large hand, and whispered, "He has a rather peculiar temper; he can be quite irritable at times. I don't really want to have anything to do with him..."

Is he irritable? I didn't see that coming from him... but he did say a name that sounded familiar to me just now...

"Wait a minute." Jilan Jiyu suddenly called out to him, whose back was turned in disappointment. "Is the name of the person you're talking about Diduo Chengjie?"

He reached up and pulled off his headscarf, looking at Jilan Jiyu with a scrutinizing gaze. Suddenly, he clutched his stomach and burst out laughing, "Tsukauchi, has your police station really become an appendage of Pro Hero? Are you so desperate that you're even hiring brats like this who haven't even grown their hair yet?"

"Inspector Tsukauchi, let me speak." Jilan Jiyu stopped Inspector Tsukauchi, whose expression had already changed, and walked up to the hippie who had just mocked him. He calmly said, "Mr. Kyoka Makoto, if I'm not mistaken, the person you want to rescue is your band's guitarist, right?"

"How did you know?" Kyoka Makoto asked hoarsely. "Have you met Xiaojie?"

Jilan Jiyu didn't answer him, but turned to Inspector Tsukauchi and said, "Inspector Tsukauchi, if the person you're talking about is called Diduo Chengjie, he may not necessarily be a good person, but he's not a criminal either... He helped me before."
