Chapter 33

When several police officers saw the M4 rifle in Lin Yifan's hand, their eyes widened. This equipment... is even better than what regular police have. The firepower of one M4 can match several ordinary police pistols.

The police immediately raised their guns and aimed at Lin Yifan: "Drop the gun, quickly!"

Lin Yifan casually flicked his wrist and threw the rifle away. These were all brought by the "terrorists," and Lin Yifan wasn't afraid of being suspected of anything.

One of the police officers ran over to pick up the rifle. Holding it in his hand, he couldn't help but swallow hard. It's real, genuine stuff!

At this moment, Hirano was hiding far away, watching Lin Yifan, with the Magnum hidden behind him.

Lin Yifan gave Hirano a look, signaling him to leave quickly.

Noticing Lin Yifan's gaze, Saya Kousaka followed his line of sight. Fortunately, Hirano, the fat otaku, was smart enough to hide and wasn't discovered.

The Japanese police officer checked the M4 rifle and said with a pale face, "Sir, this is real, and it's genuinely made in a military factory."

"Hey, hey, is this how you treat the protector of the school, officers? The guns were all taken from the terrorists." Lin Yifan started playing his old role again, this time with the tone of a delinquent, acting nonchalant.

A police officer next to the tsundere Kousaka leaned in and asked, "Miss Kousaka, is what he said true?"

Saya Kousaka clenched her fists, staring at Lin Yifan but helpless.

Suddenly, Saya Kousaka thought of something and adjusted her glasses, "Yes, what he said is true. The weapons he has are exactly the same as those the terrorists had, but I can't vouch for whether he took them from the terrorists."

Saya Kousaka's words had a deeper meaning, and the police officers understood her intention.

The weapons are indeed the same as those the terrorists had, but Saya Kousaka hadn't seen where Lin Yifan got them from.

Lin Yifan shrugged, "There are fingerprints of the terrorists on it. I'm just a high school student; how could I have the means to get such military-grade weapons?"

"If it were an ordinary high school student, they wouldn't have the means. But you're different. You're a transfer student, and you might be involved with the local yakuza... who knows."

Saya Kousaka wouldn't let it go, and her stubborn attitude was really annoying.

However, Lin Yifan understood why Saya Kousaka was targeting him. Her father was a leader of a local political group.

It's possible that her family was a "daimyo" in the area, equivalent to a village-level feudal lord in Lin Yifan's hometown.

At this moment, Saeko Tojo, holding a wooden sword, walked over and said calmly, "I can vouch for him. The weapon he has was taken from the terrorists, and I was there."

"Saeko-senpai?!" Saya Kousaka was momentarily stunned and then asked again, "Then, what about the terrorists? Why did they disappear as soon as the police arrived?"

"I don't know either, but I, Saeko Tojo, can guarantee that all the terrorists were defeated by Lin and me." Saeko Tojo faced the police officers, her expression unchanged, answering calmly and composed.

After understanding that the weapons weren't privately kept by Lin Yifan, Saya Kousaka didn't use this as an excuse. Instead, she walked up to Lin Yifan and whispered in his ear, "Listen, I don't care who you are on the other side of the sea, but I'm telling you clearly, this is Japan, not a place for you to run wild."

Hearing Saya Kousaka's "relatively friendly" warning, Lin Yifan was actually quite surprised. He thought she would be stubborn and unreasonable, but it seemed she was still evidence-based.

For someone who could speak rationally and communicate, Lin Yifan smiled, "I'm just an ordinary high school student. I have no connections here, and I'm all alone. You can check this anytime."

"Alright, I will. I hope the facts are as you say, and you are innocent. But now, you still need to go to the police station." Saya Kousaka's face showed no emotion, and as she turned, her twin tails brushed against Lin Yifan's face, bringing a faint fragrance.

Unfortunately, the cool moment didn't last long. Saya Kousaka, realizing her twin tails had brushed against Lin Yifan's face, quickly defended herself, "I... I didn't do it on purpose! Hmph."

Seeing Lin Yifan still smiling, Saya Kousaka huffed and walked away. Lin Yifan was surrounded by several police officers and taken to record his statement, with Saeko Tojo accompanying him.

The two entered the police car under the escort of the police. Saeko Tojo, sitting beside him, suddenly spoke, "Your performance today was good, and it has changed my impression of you."

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so skilled."

"Let's get serious. Your reaction was indeed good. Since you plan to join the kendo club, learn kendo well from me." Saeko Tojo turned her head and finally looked at Lin Yifan directly.

Lin Yifan was slightly taken aback and then showed a mischievous smile, "Alright, I remember our agreement."

"The women of the Tojo family never break their promises. If you beat me, I'll agree to your request." Saeko Tojo's cold and beautiful face showed a rare smile, blooming like a flower.

Lin Yifan shifted his gaze from Saeko Tojo, smiling inwardly.

This battle enthusiast must have released all her pent-up frustration on the轮回者 (cyclical beings) today. The merciless slashes, throat stabs, and that astonishing kick made Lin Yifan's neck ache just thinking about it.

Even with a wooden sword, if Saeko Tojo had a real katana, the school would be stained with blood.

The police station wasn't too close or too far from Fujimi Academy, but the traffic was heavy, which explained why it took the Japanese police half an hour from receiving the alarm to arriving.

When Lin Yifan and Saeko Tojo entered the county police station, the chief's face was a mix of various emotions upon seeing Saeko Tojo.

The daughter of the Tojo family, with her prestigious background, was known by everyone in the county. Especially her father, with his wide network of connections, including many members of the Diet. Who would dare to offend her?

Fortunately, Saeko Tojo came to the station not to commit a crime but to give a simple statement. She could be released easily, which relieved the chief.

However, Lin Yifan, the culprit of the shooting incident and a foreign student, was a different story. From the information gathered, this incident was definitely related to Lin Yifan.

Just as the chief was considering whether to pin all the blame on Lin Yifan, Saeko Tojo added, "Chief, this Lin student fought alongside me to drive away the terrorists."

"Ah... ah, I see. I... I understand."

The chief wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even if he wanted to pin the blame on Lin Yifan, Saeko Tojo's words made him reconsider.

However, he quietly instructed his subordinates, "Investigate thoroughly. Find any trace of this suspicious foreign student. Don't let anything slip."

"Understood!"

Lin Yifan was brought into the interrogation room, where he acted lazily, like a delinquent high school student. He didn't even look at who was sitting opposite him and plopped down in the chair.

Lin Yifan crossed his legs and yawned, idly playing with his nails.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yifan didn't see the police officer who was supposed to take his statement speak, and he raised his head in confusion.

The moment their eyes met, they stared at each other for a long time, neither speaking.

"Cough, you guys, go out." Nani Yumi, regaining her composure, waved at the police officers.

The police officers standing there were momentarily stunned, exchanged glances, and one of them muttered, "Is Yumi-san planning to use private punishment?"

The police officers whispered to each other and slowly walked out, closing the door behind them.

As soon as the door closed, Nani Yumi pounced, grabbing Lin Yifan's neck and pulling his ear, "Hey, you, Shizuka's little boyfriend! What did you do? Do you know?"

"Cough... cough, let go, let go, your... your chest is suffocating me!" Lin Yifan's face turned red. This was the private punishment the police officer mentioned?

After releasing Lin Yifan to vent her shock, Nani Yumi pushed him away and asked, "What happened? I read the report, which says a group of terrorists specifically came to the school to find you?"

Lin Yifan initially wanted to make a casual remark, but after careful thought, saying he didn't know would seem fake.

The "terrorists" wouldn't come for him without a reason. Saying he didn't know would only raise suspicion and even lead to secret surveillance.

Seeing Nani Yumi's tense face, Lin Yifan gradually formed a plausible explanation in his mind.
