Chapter 72 Ryosuke: The cruel reality has smoothed my edges and corners
Twenty minutes later, Ryosuke and Urashima appeared in Hanakain Haru's field of vision.
The two of them were wearing dark suits and had the armbands of "Search Section 1" on their arms, but everyone present knew that these two people should be from the so-called "Zero Section".
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ryosuke began to order the police on the scene to re-raise the cordon in an orderly manner - more than doubling the previous range.
This made everyone around him frown.
However, Ryosuke ignored it.
The middle-aged criminal policeman signaled a team of armed police officers to stand behind the cordon, and then looked at the people around him.
"I hope everyone will cooperate."
Ryousuke said in his own unique voice.
Coupled with that ferocious appearance, it has a different kind of persuasiveness.
For most of these people from the 'other world' who hide their identities, they are very wise to maintain their sanity.
Of course, they also remembered Ryousuke's face.
Ryosuke motioned to Urashima without any care.
The two of them walked straight towards the lighthouse.
Huakai Yuanqing stood still and didn't move.
In fact, since calling the police, Huakai Yuanqing has been in everyone's sight.
The young Onmyoji is not a fool.
He knew very well that at this time, once he left everyone's sight and another body was found in the tower, he would have no way of explaining it.
He was continuously suppressed, plotted, and then killed in anger.
This is really normal.
It's so normal that everyone can think of it.
Even if he didn't kill him.
But the ‘owner’ of Huakaiyuan would also think that he killed her.
The label of 'infighting' will definitely be taken off.
Maybe he won't die in the end.
But in the test of dividing the family and "taking over the master's house", he will definitely fail.
The latter is what those bastards are for.
The flowers are blooming clearly in the courtyard.
So, he stood here from beginning to end.
Even when he saw Ryosuke and Urashima, the young onmyoji didn't say hello.
What he needs now is to avoid suspicion.
Ryosuke and Urashima didn't stop at all when they passed Hanakain Haru.
Ryosuke is not an idiot. He has already found out everything about what happened at Hanakaiyuan's house by following Jason.
Now of course I know how to do it.
Urashima?
He will do whatever Ryousuke does.
Ordinary police not only sealed off the outside, but also sealed off the inside of the lighthouse.
“What a luxury!”
Urashima stepped on the soft carpet, looked at the crystal lamp protruding from the wall, and couldn't help but whisper.
He had seen carpets before. When he moved to a new home, he hoped to have a "gentle" place to stay, so he went to a carpet store recommended by a friend.
Because someone has said that a warm blanket will give people the feeling of being a ‘lover’.
Urashima, who is single, really hopes to experience this feeling.
So, he went.
Then……
He chose wisely to leave.
Because the cheapest blanket in it requires him three months' salary.
It's not something he can afford at all.
The one under my feet at the moment is the most expensive one in the store.
He didn't even have the courage to ask at that time.
More importantly, what he saw at that time was a 2X3 (meter) blanket.
And now?
It unfolds from the entrance, to the winding staircase, and to the top.
Such a price is completely beyond imagination.
As for those crystal chandeliers that appear every two meters?
Now that it appears here, Urashima believes that the price is completely beyond his affordability, even if he can't tell the difference at all.
"Pay attention to checking the body."
Ryousuke didn't care at all.
The middle-aged detective focused more on the corpse.
"One stab in the heart and one in the neck."
"The two of them didn't even react before their throats were cut."
"The knife mark on the heart should be a last-minute stab."
"Based on the wounds, the murder weapon was a dagger, dagger or other weapon."
The middle-aged detective told the young Urashima while pointing at the wound.
Urashima nodded repeatedly.
Although he is still a newcomer, Urashima, who is gradually getting rid of his rookie stage, has been able to face corpses calmly, and he also knows the difference between wounds caused when a person is alive and wounds caused after death.
"The two of them should be walking side by side towards the door."
"But the murderer standing outside the door wiped their necks the moment he opened the door."
"Then, he quickly hid behind the door to avoid the spray of blood."
Ryosuke turned to look at the door of the lighthouse.
The bright red patch on the door panel proved what he said.
Then, Ryosuke stood up and walked towards the lighthouse.
Urashima immediately followed.
In the room on the roof, they saw the middle-aged man of the Huakaiyuan family who had been dead for a long time.
The corpse fell on its back on the carpet, its eyes were wide open, its mouth was slightly open, and a bloody hole in its throat could be clearly seen on the carpet.
"An unexpected blow."
"The victim was about to leave when he met the murderer."
"The victim had no defense at all."
"Just stabbed through the throat."
"And after the murderer finished all this, he left the scene very calmly, and even wiped the blood on the two previous corpses... Is this guy confident?"
Ryousuke whispered to himself.
As Ryousuke muttered to himself, the entire case process appeared in front of Urashima.
As a partner, Urashima quickly recorded everything.
Then--
"Is he an acquaintance?"
the young policeman asked.
"Um."
"It's an acquaintance."
"At least someone who doesn't stand out here."
"Immediately go and investigate to see who has been missing from the scene since the so-called 'King of Fighting-King of Fighters Tournament' began."
"Also, let the forensic doctor do the autopsy."
As Ryousuke spoke, he squatted next to the body and began to search seriously.
Although he knew there might not be any clues, it was not Ryousuke's style to give up without trying.
Urashima took action immediately.
Soon, the results came out.
After Ryosuke checked the scene and found nothing, Urashima ran back.
"Found it, Commander Ryousuke."
"There is only one person missing at the scene——"
"Kasano!"
"He was the guide for Sir Jason, Hanakaiyuan Qing and Miss Saakura. After Sir Jason and his party boarded the ship, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight. No one can prove where he went."
Urashima reported truthfully, with a hint of excitement in his words.
No matter how you look at it, this grass field looks suspicious.
He might even be the murderer.
"Are you going to issue a notice of investigation?"
Urashima asked.
"Um."
"release."
Ryousuke nodded immediately.
This is the process and there are no problems.
The crux of the matter is... the flowers are blooming at home!
When the forensic doctor was examining the body just now, Ryosuke on the side had already determined that the dead middle-aged man was a member of the Hanakayuan family.
Think about it again, standing under the lighthouse, the flowers are blooming and the courtyard is sunny without taking a step forward.
Ryousuke has already guessed it.
"A troublesome family."
The middle-aged detective said this and strode towards the lighthouse.
Although it is troublesome, the questioning with Hanakai Yuanqing still has to continue.
Under the lighthouse, the flowers were blooming and Yuan Qing was no longer standing there.
The RV that arrived gave Huakaiyuan Qing a rather comfortable place to stay.
The orange juice in your hand makes you feel more comfortable.
"You look like you're in a good mood?"
After Ryosuke boarded the RV, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Hanakain Haru half leaning on the sofa chair.
"certainly."
"An eyesore is dead."
"Shouldn't I be happy?"
Huakai Yuanqing said very calmly.
"You should at least show sadness, otherwise, your suspicion will increase!"
Ryousuke reminded the other party.
"If it's useful, I naturally want to do it."
"pity……"
"The families in the 'other world' are more unreasonable than you think."
Huakaiyuan Qing shrugged, and then opened the refrigerator.
"What do you want to drink?"
the young onmyoji asked.
"I dare not. I have just been reinstated. If I drink your drink here, even a glass of water, I will have to take paid leave again today."
Ryosuke pointed outside the window, staring at the people here, and sighed slightly.
Although he already had a plan, this quick reinstatement almost disrupted his plan.
However, Ryousuke was happy about this disruption.
He knew that his plan could be implemented in advance.
Of course, to be on the safe side, he chose a more conservative approach.
He never took the initiative to get in front of the "Hana Sakura" organization.
Instead, he waited silently.
Yamashita is dead.
Miyamoto is also dead.
‘Hanazakura’ will definitely take action.
When the time comes, it's time for him to take action.
Just the death of Yamashita, how can a moth like Miyamoto be enough?
What he wants is a thorough 'cleaning'.
"You don't look worried?"
Ryousuke continued to ask.
"The families in the 'other world' are less unreasonable and more reasonable than you think - they ignore the rules of the 'outer world', but they will abide by the traditions."
The flowers are blooming in the courtyard and the weather is clear.
"Sounds a bit duplicitous."
Ryosuke commented.
"If I were you, I would never say such words outside."
The flowers bloomed and Haru reminded Ryosuke.
The latter spread his hands and said that he was just seeking truth from facts.
Then, the two entered the questioning process.
With so many people testifying, Huakai Yuanqing has absolutely no problems.
"If you have anything on your mind, you can call me."
When leaving, Ryosuke said this.
"Same."
"If you encounter trouble, you can also call me."
Huakaiyuan Qing said with a smile.
After the young onmyoji discovered a traitor around him, he began to deliberately organize forces outside the family.
Especially when an unexpected surprise like Jason appeared, the young Onmyoji couldn't get enough of it.
He doesn't expect another Jason to appear.
Even, you don’t need to reach the height of Miss Saakura.
He just hopes that there will be a few more candidates who can be used at critical moments.
And the Ryousuke in front of me?
It just met his requirements.
"I will if necessary."
Ryousuke answered like this.
After several consecutive days of encounters, a brand new world appeared before his eyes, which had already made Ryosuke understand that his old ways would hardly work, and his strength was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the members of the 'other world'
of.
Similarly, if you want to complete your own plan, such strength is useless.
Therefore, Ryousuke made himself smoother.
Such a change is hard to bear.
But it's worth it for the goal.
After Ryosuke left, Hanakain Haru didn't get out of the car, but told the driver to go directly back to the other courtyard.
Ryousuke watched the RV leave.
The people around also dispersed as the RV left.
They were very unhappy when they did not see the conflict they imagined.
But, left to continue blowing the sea breeze?
It's not something they can enjoy.
Fortunately, although the murder at the lighthouse did not cause a direct conflict, subsequent conflicts are still possible.
They were gloating about this.
Not only is it related to the Hanakaiin family, one of the four major Onmyoji families, but also because no one knows what such a thing will turn into in the end.
Maybe you will have the opportunity to 'bite' the Huakaiyuan family and strengthen your own strength.
Therefore, these people were all excited when they left.
"A flock of vultures."
Ryosuke, who sat back in the car, commented like this, his voice was unobstructed and very clear.
“Very good review.”
"It's like us being called 'hyenas' by them."
Behind him, a clearer voice came, causing Ryousuke to pause in his hand holding the cigarette.
Almost subconsciously, Ryousuke took out the gun.
However, when Ryousuke's hand touched the handle of the gun, a hand pressed down on his hand.
"I mean no harm."
"Don't you hear what I said?"
"us!"
"It's us!"
The voice continued.
The hand that was held down could not move at all, not even a finger.
Coupled with the other party's words, Ryousuke immediately made a guess.
Sakura!
The Hanazakura he was waiting for!
I didn’t expect to come to my door so quickly!
In Ryousuke's expectation, the other party would wait at least a few days, or even a week.
When they lose one or two more manpower, they will find him to "replenish manpower."
Could it be...
‘Hanazakura’ doesn’t have as many manpower as expected?
As soon as this idea came up, Ryousuke denied it.
It is impossible for ‘Hanazakura’ to have no manpower.
Then all that's left is...
Jason!
‘Juggernaut’ Jason!
There is only this answer.
‘Hana Sakura’ has received the news that Jason is the ‘Sword Master’.
That's why I couldn't wait to let him join.
Ryosuke was guessing in his heart, but he was asking questions knowingly.
"Who are you?"
"'Hanazakura'."
"Have you heard of this organization?"
"We are considered a mutual aid association within the police. We invite some elites to join the association every year - we have contacted you, Ryosuke, in a very subtle way, but you turned a blind eye, or refused."
"However, your abilities are outstanding, and we think it is necessary to give you a chance."
What the other party said was high-sounding.
"I'm afraid it's because of Jason?"
Ryousuke unceremoniously revealed the other party's purpose.
"Look, I'm just telling you Ryousuke that your abilities are outstanding."
"At least the insight is pretty good."
"And, very upright."
The other party smiled without denying it.
"We really need someone who can get in touch with Lord Jason... You know, that person is the first 'Sword Master' in a century!"
"And Ryousuke, you are the most suitable candidate."
"Don't worry, it will be beneficial, and I will definitely give you a big price."
The other person continued talking.
Ryousuke, on the other hand, was more direct. He said in a deep voice——
"Jason is my best friend, so I need... more money."
