"Alright," Sayoko nodded and did not insist.
After clinging close with the virtuous, considerate, beautiful widowed mature woman for a while longer, Hikari walked out of the izakaya and headed south through Ino Town at a brisk pace.
It was not that he did not want to continue the lessons with Sayoko, this gentle and beautiful mature woman. Whether in looks, figure, or even personality, Aunt Sayoko was top tier in every sense.
But he really did have things to take care of.
Not long ago, the Pure Love Radar had gone off again.
The Pure Love Early Warning Thousand Paper Cranes had also sent an alert.
Aunt Miyuri had been targeted again.
Hikari knew very well that Aunt Miyuri's beauty was no less than Sayoko's, and she was easily among the best in all of Ino Town.
On top of that, she naturally carried a mysterious, seductive, sultry aura that was extremely attractive to the opposite sex. Still, was it not a bit too easy for her to get targeted like this.
He complained inwardly for a moment, but Hikari still quickened his pace, rushing toward the location indicated by the Pure Love Radar.
———
Inside the Yoshizawa family's sprawling estate.
Fresh from his morning swim, Yoshizawa Eigen had a towel draped around his neck and was sitting by the pool, deep in thought.
From Natsuki Akito's mouth yesterday, after torturing him, Yoshizawa Eigen had already learned that his unfilial son Yoshizawa Takeo had been lusting after Miyuri and had even threatened her.
Natsuki Akito had also confessed that on the night before Yoshizawa Takeo completely disappeared, he had once stayed alone with Miyuri in the back mountain woods.
Although Natsuki Akito had forgotten many of the specific details, and no matter how brutally he was beaten and abused he could not cough up anything more concrete, this information still provided quite a few leads.
In short, Yoshizawa Eigen now seriously suspected that Miyuri was the murderer who killed his son Yoshizawa Takeo, and he had decided to investigate her thoroughly.
What frustrated him was that the investigation he had sent people to conduct yesterday in the woods behind Miyuri's house had yielded no clues at all.
Yoshizawa Eigen naturally was not about to let the matter drop.
At this moment, a middle aged man in a white lab coat, his steps somewhat shaky, walked toward Yoshizawa Eigen by the pool.
"Di-Director Yoshizawa, did you send for me?", Doctor Takamura, not yet forty but already balding, spoke nervously.
"Yes," Yoshizawa Eigen stood up with a blank expression.
Doctor Takamura lowered his head obediently and asked respectfully, "What are your instructions?"
"My son may have been killed. The murderer might be a woman who works at our hospital. Her name is Miyuri. Do you know her?", Yoshizawa Eigen said slowly.
"I-I know her! Miyuri is one of the nurses under me, she answers to my orders," Doctor Takamura replied promptly, nodding along, not asking any extra questions. He simply lifted his head slightly, waiting for the director's command.
"I am giving you a very simple task. When that woman Miyuri goes to work at the hospital today, you will interrogate her for me and find out how much she knows about my son Yoshizawa Takeo's disappearance," Yoshizawa Eigen said.
"This… how exactly should I interrogate her?", Although Doctor Takamura had helped Yoshizawa Eigen with some shady matters before, he truly had no experience interrogating women.
Yoshizawa Eigen waved his hand impatiently, "Doesn't my hospital have all kinds of anesthetics and controlled drugs? And the hallucinogenic drug I had you research earlier, has there been no progress?"
"In any case, I only want results. I am giving you half a day. Handle it yourself."
Hearing this, Doctor Takamura's eyes lit up. He nodded knowingly, "Understood!"
After bowing respectfully, Doctor Takamura quickly left the Yoshizawa estate.
Watching Doctor Takamura depart, Yoshizawa Eigen fell into contemplation.
Although it felt like once Miyuri was dealt with, the truth would likely come out directly, and controlling a mere nurse should be easy, he still felt that the preparation was insufficient.
Unlike his reckless son Yoshizawa Takeo, Yoshizawa Eigen always preferred to have everything covered.
In his view, if something was done with only one method, then once that method failed, it was a complete failure.
But if several plans were prepared in advance, then as long as one succeeded, the overall plan would succeed.
This greatly reduced the chances of failure.
This was also one of the reasons he had managed to make the hospital thrive and expand his family's power.
So Yoshizawa Eigen planned to make further arrangements regarding the investigation into Yoshizawa Takeo's disappearance.
Thinking of his son, incompetent and reckless yet of noble status, possibly already dead in the home of some pig like commoners, Yoshizawa Eigen felt his anger surge.
After some thought, he got dressed, returned to the backyard, and had someone bring over Natsuki Akito, who had been locked in a small dark room all night.
Seeing Natsuki Akito now, battered and bruised, mentally exhausted, his face filled with fear at the sight of him, Yoshizawa Eigen felt much more satisfied.
He stepped toward Natsuki Akito. Just as Natsuki Akito trembled in fear, Yoshizawa Eigen suddenly revealed a gentle smile and spoke, "Akito-kun, actually, bringing you here was just an accident."
"Now I plan to give you a task. As long as you complete it, I will let you go."
"And I will reward you with a sum of money, and even let you obtain that thing you have always dreamed of."
"As for the specific content of the task, it goes like this…"
———
[Early Morning]
The sunlight was just right, the breeze gentle.
Because Miyuri dreamed again last night of a certain familiar handsome youth, she woke up to find her nightdress damp, which delayed her for work.
After finally getting her work uniform in order, Miyuri hurried out of the house without even having time for breakfast, heading quickly toward Yoshizawa Hospital.
Upon arriving at Yoshizawa Hospital, Miyuri first went to the changing room and put on her clean white nurse uniform.
Then she came out, smoothly took out her staff card, and clocked in.
Next, she smiled and greeted a female colleague she happened to run into, chatting casually for a few words.
All of this was almost exactly the same as her usual workday.
But just as she left the lounge area and was about to get busy, a doctor in a white lab coat suddenly walked toward her.
"Miyuri…"
Hearing her name, Miyuri turned her head and greeted him politely, "Doctor Takamura."
"Good morning," Doctor Takamura, slightly balding on top, smiled.
"Good morning," Miyuri nodded as well.
"By the way, I have something I need your help with. I am a bit short on medication here, so could you help me get some from the pharmacy in the back? I have written everything I need on this list," Doctor Takamura smiled as he handed her a slip of paper.
"Getting medicine? Sure!"
Helping doctors fetch medication was one of the nurses' duties.
Miyuri took the medication list, glanced over it briefly, did not feel there was anything wrong, and immediately agreed.
"Make it quick. A patient really needs it," Doctor Takamura reminded her before she left.
"Okay," Feeling the pressure from that remark, Miyuri took the list, walked down the corridor, and hurried toward the hospital's rear pharmacy, an area with few people around.
The pharmacy was located in a rather remote spot at the very back of the hospital. It served as the storage warehouse for most of the hospital's medications. Normally, designated staff handled medication retrieval, so most of the time there was hardly anyone there.
After entering the pharmacy alone, Miyuri carefully searched through rows of shelves packed with drugs, looking for the items listed.
"Why are the medicines Doctor Takamura wants all so far apart? They are really hard to find. This is going to take quite a while."
"These drugs also seem kind of uncommon… whatever, why am I thinking so much? My job is just to find them and bring them over."
Though a little curious, Miyuri did not think too deeply. She shook her head and continued carefully searching for and gathering the medications.
What Miyuri did not notice as she focused on her work was that when she reached the middle of the pharmacy, her view blocked by tall shelves, the pharmacy door quietly closed.
Then, streams of pale pink gas began to spray out continuously from the small dedicated ventilation ports, gradually spreading throughout the not so large room.
While Miyuri remained completely unaware as she picked out medications, in a room not far from the pharmacy, the balding Doctor Takamura stared intently at a surveillance monitor.
The image on the screen was none other than the scene inside the pharmacy.
After all, it was a room storing many valuable medications, so it naturally had surveillance cameras. At this moment, Doctor Takamura was using the ceiling mounted camera to closely monitor what was happening after Miyuri went in.
Following Director Yoshizawa Eigen's instructions, Doctor Takamura had already devised his interrogation plan for Miyuri.
First, using his authority as a doctor, he would send Miyuri to the pharmacy. Then he would take the opportunity to release the dru*ged smoke, throwing her mind into chaos and leaving her unable to resist. He would then control her and carefully question her about what she knew regarding Yoshizawa Takeo.
But that was only the original plan.
As he closely observed Miyuri through the monitor, Doctor Takamura suddenly realized that the figure beneath her nurse uniform was extremely shapely, the very definition of top class, and her face was also exceptionally pretty.
Under the nurse uniform, whether it was her full, perky chest, her round, plump hips wrapped by the skirt, or the long beautiful legs beneath the hem, everything about Miyuri could be called flawless.
Although Miyuri had always been known in the hospital as the most beautiful flower, perhaps because he remembered she had a fiance, he had not really thought in that direction before.
But now, watching Miyuri's graceful figure on the monitor, the fire in Doctor Takamura's heart could not help but ignite.
Especially knowing that this perfect, alluring body would soon be out of control and at his mercy, Doctor Takamura could not contain his excitement.
"The smoke released into the room not only makes people disoriented and weak, but also has a certain hallucinogenic and arousing effect."
"As long as I go in later and get a little closer, a woman like Miyuri who already looks so sultry will definitely come straight to me! Then I will take advantage of the moment… hehehe!"
"No problem. Director Yoshizawa already said to interrogate her. This can count as part of the interrogation."
"First destroy her self respect, trample on her dignity, properly train her until she obeys me in everything. Then she will definitely answer whatever I ask."
"Yes, there is absolutely no problem!"
Seeing on the monitor that Miyuri was already swaying, barely able to stand and even needing to lean on the wall, Doctor Takamura could not hold back any longer.
He directly took off his white lab coat and, unencumbered, hurried toward the pharmacy.
"If someone finds out about what I am doing, the consequences would be serious, right?"
Halfway there, Doctor Takamura suddenly hesitated.
After all, as a doctor, his salary was actually quite decent, and he also had a wife. His life at present was not bad.
But when he thought of his wife's face, already showing wrinkles, her average looks and bloated figure, then compared that to Miyuri's curvy body, fair delicate skin, and beautiful face, Doctor Takamura made up his mind again in an instant.
He did not want to live that kind of middle aged man's life where everything was predictable.
"Who cares! That shrew at home is old and ugly, with no sexual appeal left at all! She is nothing compared to a top class woman like Miyuri!"
"Under the influence of that hallucinogenic gas, she has no ability to resist. She is practically served up on a platter! If I do not take her now, am I even a man?"
"And in this state, as long as I train her properly, she will definitely obey me in the future!"
"Do it!"
Growing more and more excited, Doctor Takamura quickly arrived at the pharmacy door.
He eagerly yanked the door open, and a faintly fragrant air drifted out.
Doctor Takamura did not avoid it at all, deliberately inhaling some to excite his own body.
Then he looked around, and very quickly, near a shelf not far to his left, he saw a seductive figure half collapsed on the floor.
Taking a closer look, he saw that Miyuri's fair face was already flushed red, her eyes hazy and unfocused.
Seeming to notice movement at the door, Miyuri turned her head to look at him.
"Doctor Ta… Takamura?", Miyuri seemed to want to speak, but her voice was already weak and lacking strength.
"Miyuri, what is wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Or did you get poisoned?", Doctor Takamura pretended to look concerned, "Did you knock over some kind of chemical in the pharmacy?"
"I… I am fine! You… you stay back!", Although Doctor Takamura was still acting, when Miyuri's body had gone soft after inhaling the gas, she had already sensed that something was wrong.
It was just that she was dizzy and her thoughts were muddled, so her reaction was half a beat slow.
But combining the recent people who had been coveting her, and the dangerous look in Doctor Takamura's eyes earlier, Miyuri had already clearly realized his ill intentions.
Yet at this moment, she no longer had the strength to resist or flee. She could only force herself to speak, trying to scare him off.
But seeing Miyuri's rapid breathing, Doctor Takamura understood her condition clearly.
