Soon, some Investigator Assistants arrived to process the scene.
They were all Investigator Assistants, which is to say, personnel with little combat ability, specifically responsible for miscellaneous tasks.
Only Second Class Investigators barely had the strength to fight a B-Rank Ghoul, while Third-Class Investigators could at most contend with C-Rank Ghouls unable to release their Kagune; as for Investigator Assistants, they could do nothing but odd jobs.
"Ui, Quasi-Special Class! And who is this?"
These Investigator Assistants only recognized Ui Koori and not Yakuchi Kei .
Next, they were responsible for taking the Hyena's corpse back to the CCG Experimental Building in the 1st Ward, as well as cleaning up the bloodstains and other things at the scene.
Ui Koori exchanged a few more casual words with Yakuchi Kei before leaving to report.
...
At this moment, Yakuchi Kei appeared to be strolling on the street, but he was actually looking for the Diguichi Family's whereabouts.
He only knew that the Diguichi Family ran a Clinic but did not know the specific location of that Clinic.
Asking passersby might yield an answer.
In any case, it was no longer during a mission, so Yakuchi Kei did not hide his Quinque briefcase in his luggage but carried it directly in his hand.
People would know at a glance that he was a CCG Ghoul Investigator, which also made it easier for him to ask passersby questions.
Soon, Yakuchi Kei found out the exact location of that Clinic.
Because the Diguichi Family's Clinic was quite famous in this vicinity; Doctor Desiguchi had a very good attitude towards patients and was dedicated and responsible, with an excellent reputation.
Kiguchi Asaki was indeed a relatively rare and kind Ghoul; he was killed because Ōmori Yakumo, Gecko, discovered that he was colluding with a CCG Investigator.
Yakuchi Kei immediately set off for the Diguichi Family's Clinic.
As he was about to arrive, he deliberately slowed his steps to observe his surroundings.
Because, if nothing unexpected happened, Kureo Mado and Amon Kotaro were very likely staking out Gecko near the Clinic.
To be precise, Kureo Mado and Amon Kotaro came to the 19th Ward this time specifically to pursue Gecko; after all, he was a Ghoul rated S-Rank dangerous by the CCG, so it was reasonable to dispatch Kureo Mado and Amon Kotaro to carry out this mission.
Moreover, at this time, the CCG did not know that Gecko had already become a Half-Kakuja through cannibalism; Gecko's strength was actually beyond S-Rank, at least at the S+ or SS- level.
In the original work, Kureo Mado also stumbled during this mission, misjudging Gecko's strength; his Quinque not only had no effect on Gecko but was also damaged by him.
If it weren't for Gecko's punctual work schedule, clocking out on time and directly ignoring Kureo Mado and Amon Kotaro when the time came, Kureo Mado would have met his end there.
"Sure enough..."
At this moment, Yakuchi Kei discovered the hidden location of Kureo Mado and Amon Kotaro.
If even that fellow Gecko could be found, how could he not find them, especially with prior knowledge?
However, Yakuchi Kei pretended not to see the two of them; he still carried his Quinque briefcase and walked openly into the Diguichi Family's Clinic.
At this time, Kureo Mado and Amon Kotaro, hidden in the shadows, had also discovered Yakuchi Kei .
"That's... Associate Investigator Ameno! Why is he here?"
Amon Kotaro immediately looked surprised.
At the same time, he also became anxious; if Gecko discovered an Investigator here when he arrived, his and Kureo Mado's ambush would be in vain.
"..."
Kureo Mado did not speak, only looking at Yakuchi Kei with a slightly puzzled expression.
"What should we do now? He'll alert Gecko!"
Amon Kotaro whispered anxiously to Kureo Mado.
"Don't worry, Amon, he has bloodstains on him; he might have been injured after fighting a Ghoul recently. Although I don't know why he isn't seeking CCG logistics personnel, Gecko shouldn't be scared away by an injured person."
Kureo Mado remained calm, coolly analyzing the current situation.
"It seems my temperament is still not stable enough."
Amon Kotaro nodded.
He realized his shortcomings in this regard and firmly kept them in mind.
...
When Yakuchi Kei walked into the Clinic with his Quinque briefcase, Kiguchi Asaki was stunned.
He could recognize at a glance that it was a Quinque case only CCG Investigators possessed, but the person was not Kureo Mado or Amon Kotaro, whom he had seen before, but a completely unfamiliar young man.
He couldn't help but worry if something unexpected would happen.
Originally, according to his cooperation with Kureo Mado, when Gecko came to find him, Kureo Mado, who was ambushing in the dark, would make his move.
Besides Kiguchi Asaki, there was only one human patient in the Clinic; Fueguchi Hinami and Ryoko Fueguchi were not here, presumably, the mother and daughter had already gone to the 20th Ward to avoid trouble.
Because Gecko had entangled Kiguchi Asaki, Fueguchi Hinami and Ryoko Fueguchi had no choice but to leave the 19th Ward.
It was suspected that Kiguchi Asaki was one of the Aogiri Tree members before, and a technical staff member at that, which was why Gecko sought him out.
Yakuchi Kei didn't speak when he entered; he just sat on a chair provided for rest, placing his Quinque briefcase casually at his feet, as if he were normally waiting in line for treatment.
After only a few minutes, Ōmori Yakumo appeared.
A tall, blond man with a prominent nose among his features, looking fierce.
The codename given by the CCG was Jason, but he also had another name: Gecko.
When Ōmori Yakumo entered, he glanced at Yakuchi Kei and the human patient; even though he noticed Yakuchi Kei was an Investigator, he acted as if he hadn't seen him, instead walking towards the human patient who was being treated.
Because he found this human to be in the way.
Yakuchi Kei naturally couldn't sit idly by; he threw out the Hiruko 1/76 that was still in his inner pocket, and the fast and accurate dagger immediately flew towards Ōmori Yakumo.
However, Ōmori Yakumo was a Half-Kakuja level Ghoul after all, so his reaction ability was certainly not bad.
He tilted his head to the side, but one ear was still cut open by the dagger, which then embedded itself in the wall behind him.
He frowned immediately, surprised that he was actually injured, and that the Investigator dared to make a move against him.
"Originally, I was in a good mood today, but you, kid, ruined it."
Ōmori Yakumo had one hand in his pocket and directly bent his index finger to a bizarre angle with the other, making a "crack" sound.
A somewhat twisted smile appeared on his face; he was clearly enraged by Yakuchi Kei .
Kiguchi Asaki immediately felt terrible, cold sweat breaking out on his face; it was truly ruined by that young Investigator!
