"Senior Mado, why did you kill her so decisively? Didn't you intend to interrogate her for information? Or use her as bait to lure out other {Ghouls}?" Amon Koutarou looked at Madam Ryoko, lying in a pool of blood, with no trace of pity in his eyes.
"There's no need! We won't get anything from this woman! Holding her captive as bait wouldn't catch any big fish, because being held captive implies she's not in mortal danger, so it wouldn't serve as a lure," Mado replied indifferently.
"Then we could temporarily keep her in the transport vehicle instead of sending her back to the headquarters' detention center. We could then set up an ambush and wait for the big fish to take the bait!" Amon Koutarou voiced his idea again.
"That's a good idea!" Mado looked at Amon Koutarou and praised him.
Then, Mado continued, "Headquarters only sent the two of us investigators. With just our combat strength, we can't possibly catch any big fish. Even if we request reinforcements from headquarters, it would take one to two days. During that window, we wouldn't be able to stop this woman's companions from rescuing her."
"Therefore, killing this woman now is the best option. Moreover, with her death, it's likely that two opposing factions will emerge within the organization in the 20th Ward. The radicals and conservatives will definitely disagree on this matter, so there's no need to worry about the {Ghouls} in the 20th Ward disappearing!"
"At that time, there will definitely be {Ghouls} seeking revenge for this woman who will come looking for us!"
Hearing this, Amon Koutarou couldn't help but admire Mado's depth of thought.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Mado!" Amon Koutarou immediately bowed, expressing his gratitude for Mado's instruction.
Afterward, Mado picked up the phone and contacted the CCG staff responsible for the 20th Ward.
Soon, a group of CCG staff arrived at the scene to handle the aftermath.
Kaneki Ken, who was temporarily staying at the bookstore, felt uneasy looking at Hinami sleeping on the sofa. At this moment, Kaneki Ken also heard Hinami murmuring "Mom" in her sleep, which made him feel even more guilty and self-reproachful.
After all, Hinami and her mother had been taking refuge at Anteiku for some time. During this period, Kaneki Ken had grown quite close to Hinami, so he did have feelings for her.
Kaneki Ken then looked at the index finger that Hinami had bitten. The bite was severe, almost tearing off the flesh and skin.
However, Kaneki Ken felt no anger. If it meant saving Madam Ryoko's life, he would have no hesitation in dying himself.
Soon, Kaneki Ken's phone rang. He quickly answered it, and Kousen Yoshimura's voice came from the other end: "Kaneki, where are you?"
Kaneki Ken then told the manager his location. Not long after, Kousen Yoshimura and Touka Kirishima arrived at the bookstore.
Upon arriving at the bookstore and not seeing Madam Ryoko, Touka Kirishima grabbed Kaneki Ken's collar and questioned him, "Where is Madam Ryoko!?"
Instantly, Kaneki Ken's emotions broke down, and he began to cry in pain. Touka Kirishima hadn't expected Kaneki Ken to cry and thought he was scared by her. She immediately let go of him and said with extreme disdain, "You're all grown up, yet you're still crying!"
