Text Chapter 293 Kyoto's Red Light District (Part 1)

"Huh~huh~huh~~"

While humming an unknown tune, Acho grabbed a few candies that he had just bought from the sugar seller and walked slowly back to the ramen shop.

After stepping through the door of the ramen shop and returning to the ramen shop, Acho was immediately stunned.

The place where she and Ogata were sitting just now happened to be opposite the door of the ramen shop, so as long as you walk through the door of the ramen shop, you can see the table where she was sitting with Ogata just now.

At this moment, Ogata was nowhere to be seen beside this table.

Only two bowls of ramen, half of which were left, were still placed on the table alone—it was the ramen she had just ordered with Ogata.

Not only was Ogata missing, the customers who had also eaten noodles in the store before were almost gone.

A young man with a wanted order in his hand and with a handle ten hands pinned on his waist was in this ramen shop, and said loudly to an old lady who seemed to have just walked into the ramen shop:

"Now that there is a murderer in Kyoto, you have to be careful, old lady. That person is called Ogata Ishi. If you find any clues, remember to notify the government in time."

"Hito...giri...?" The old lady's ears seemed to be bad, and she repeated this vocabulary that she hadn't heard clearly just now.

"It's hitokiri! People beheaded!" The young man resignedly repeated the pronunciation of "human beheaded" with a face full of help.

This time, the old lady who heard Ren Zhan's pronunciation clearly asked back with a puzzled face:

"What do people mean?"

"In short, it can be understood as the meaning of a murderer. In short-once you see a person who looks like the portrait on this wanted order, immediately tell the nearby officials... eh?"

At this time, the young man noticed Amachi who was still standing in front of the ramen shop.

"Girl." The young man said loudly to Ah Ding. "Have any officials told you to beware of ‘people’s killing of others’?"

"No." Ah Ding shook his head, "I just happened to pass by here, and heard what you were talking about, ‘people cut the situation’, so I just came to take a look with curiosity."

"Since no official has told you to beware of the'people's slashing', let me tell you about it."

The young man walked slowly to Amachi with Ogata's wanted warrant.

"Last night, there was an indiscriminate killing in Kyoto. As of now, more than 30 people have been killed...Ah, no, it is said that the number of victims has risen to more than forty."

"Ah." Ah Ding nodded, "I know this."

"Now it has been found out who this person is." The young man shook the wanted order in his hand. "It is the person on this wanted order-the executioner Ichitosai, Ogata Ishi. Also known as'Ren Zhan Yishi' ."

"Hey~~" Ah Ding looked up and down the wanted order in front of him, "He looks so handsome."

"In terms of appearance, this person is indeed a good-looking man, but it is a pity that he is a scum who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"I have also heard of the name of the executioner Ichitosai, that is, the person who killed the former lord Matsudaira Genouchi of the Hirose clan. But I heard that he was arrested by the government at the beginning of this year?"

"Who knows what's going on." The young man smiled bitterly, "I also heard that Ren Zhan Yishi was in jail a few months ago."

"It may be because he escaped from prison."

"It's also possible that the person who was arrested a few months ago was not a slasher at all."

"The world is so big, there will always be so many people who look exactly alike."

"It's a very common time to catch the wrong person because they look alike."

"I heard that our Kyoto government made such a mistake many years ago."

"Mistakenly arrested an innocent civilian who looked very much like a certain murderer."

"It wasn't until the real murderer was arrested ten years later that the innocent civilian was returned to his innocence."

"It's a pity that it was too late, and the civilian was executed not long after being caught."

Speaking of this, the young man who realized that he seemed to be digressing hurriedly turned the topic back to the subject.

"All in all-if you find any clues, please be sure to inform the officials nearby in time."

"But also remember to pay attention to your own safety."

"No problem." Ah Ding smiled, "I will pay attention. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first."

Seeing that he succeeded in telling a citizen about the "people's slashing away", the young man's face was filled with a faint smile of satisfaction.

After bidding farewell to the young Okayuki, Amachi, who still had a faint smile on his face, walked out of the ramen shop.

After leaving the ramen shop and gradually walking away from the ramen shop, the smile on Amachi's face dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The original smile has been replaced by a cold look at this time.

Ah Ting's original walking speed also gradually accelerated as the grim color on his face gradually emerged.

While rushing into a dark alley next to him at a speed close to a trot, Ah Ding threw away the ball fan in his hand and the few candies he had just bought.

Hiding in this dark alley, Ah Ding took out her Su Sakura and Xia Nai.

After checking that Su Ying and Xia Nai's barrels were full of projectiles and ready to fire at any time, Ah Ding took Su Ying and Xia Nai back.

"A Yi...wait for me..."

After such a soft mumble, Ah Ding took a firm step and walked out of this dim alley...

...

...

"Let me tell you briefly what has happened in Kyoto recently."

Shenshan cleared his throat.

"About two months ago, a loud noise and fire broke out in an empty house outside of Los Angeles."

"After an investigation by Hasegawa Heizo, the chief of the fire to thieves reform, it has been found out that the fire was caused by the explosion of gunpowder."

Shenshan pointed at the middle-aged man in black uniform beside him.

"This is the chief officer of the firefighter reform-Hasegawa Heizo."

"And last night. A murderer suddenly appeared in Kyoto."

"As of just now, 45 people have been killed."

"After gathering all the witnesses at the crime scene, the painter drew the murderer's appearance based on the witnesses' confession."

"After drawing the appearance of the murderer, we immediately compared all the wanted orders based on this portrait, and inquired whether it was the work of a fugitive wanted criminal."

Once there is a new criminal, the existing wanted order will be immediately transferred to inquire whether it is the work of the fugitive wanted criminal-this can be regarded as the basic process when handling a case.

"And after drawing the looks of the murderer, the painter responsible for drawing the looks of the murderer carefully discovered that this face is almost exactly the same as the face he was about to paint before."

"And this face is the face of the executioner Ichito Sai Okata's Ishi."

"When Ogata Ishie absconded, the artist was ordered to draw a lot of Ogata Ishie's wanted warrants. Because the painting was about to spit out, the artist was very familiar with Ogata Ishisai's face."

"After the painter reported the incident, the head of the head——Riri Abe ordered the release of the wanted order for Ogata Ishie who was arrested and sealed in the warehouse."

"After showing Ogata Ishie's wanted warrant to those witnesses, almost all the witnesses said-it was the person who killed the guy on the wanted warrant."

"After learning about the incident, Mr. Shidai of the Kyoto Institute ordered that all the hundreds of wanted orders of Ogata Ogata in the warehouse be shipped out, and the whole city arrested Ogata Ogata."

"...Kamiyama-sama." Makimura whispered, "Let me confirm-is the current Kyoto Sojido still the fellow Toda Tadahiro?"

"..." Shenshan nodded.

After nodding, Shenshan raised his eyes to observe Mucun's current expression.

After seeing that Mucun's reaction was far more dull than he thought, Shenshan let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, the pastoral village asked:

"As far as I know-isn't Ogata Ichitosai already arrested by the government at the beginning of this year? How could it be that he committed the crime?"

"Of course I know this." Shenshan smiled bitterly.

Ordinary people in the town may not know whether Ogata Itosai was arrested by the government, but all high officials in Kyoto prefecture are very clear. Ogata Itosai was already in the Tatsuno clan at the beginning of this year. He was caught by Hasegawa Heizo and sent to Butterfly Island.

"After receiving the order from Lord Toda to arrest Ogata Ichisai from the whole city, Obanto Abe Riri raised the same objection as you to Lord Toda: Ogata Ichisai has long been arrested, and the perpetrator has been arrested. How could it be Ogata Ichitosai?"

"Guess how Toda-sama responded to Abe Riri?"

Although Shenshan asked Mucun, he didn't seem to expect Mucun to answer his question.

After raising this question, Shenshan immediately said:

"Toda said:'It doesn’t matter whether the murderer is Ogata Itosai or not, we just need to know that this murderer must look very similar to Ogata Itosai, and Ogata Itosai’s wanted order can help us catch this guy. enough'."

Hearing this, the corner of Mucun's mouth curled up and he let out a few chuckles.

"Heh, that's the truth... I really don't need to worry about whether the murderer did by Ogata Ichitosai. Just know that the murderer looks like Ogata Ichitosai or Ogata Ichitosai's wanted warrants can be obtained. Reuse is enough."

"That's right." Kamiyama nodded. "All the witnesses who saw Ogata Ichitosai's wanted order said that this person committed the crime. So even if the murderer is not Ogata Ichitosai, he will be very handsome. People like Ogata Ichitosai."

"Since it looks very similar to Ogata Idoseai, the hundreds of wanted Ogata Idoseai that are backlogged in the warehouse can be used as waste.' A person who looks a lot like Ogata Ichitosai'-this is the idea of ​​Lord Toda."

After all, Shenshan paused.

Then he changed into a tone with a touch of playfulness:

"Master Toda might not have thought of it--the real Ogata Ichitosai was actually in Kyoto at this time."

"Ogata Ichitosai, who is currently located in Kyoto nowhere, must be very confused now... he did nothing and was wanted by the whole city somehow..."

Hearing these words from Shenshan, Mucun's eyes flickered slightly in astonishment.

"Ogata Ichitosai is in Kyoto?" Makimura pretended to be puzzled.

Kamiyama turned his head and made a "please" motion towards Hasegawa beside him.

Hasegawa, who has not spoken since just now, said solemnly.

"I spent the night in a village on the outskirts of Kyoto last night, and occasionally ran into Ogata Ichitosai in a hotel."

"Are you sure that you confessed to the wrong person?"

"impossible."

Hasegawa said in a firm tone.

"Last night, I spent the night in the same hotel as Ogata Ichitosai. Ogata Ichitosai was not in Kyoto at all last night, so how could he be the one who killed him?"

"There is no doubt-Ogata Ichitosai was innocent."

"This murderer should be someone who looks a lot like Ogata Ichitosai, or who is dressed up like Ogata Ichitosai."

"Master Hasegawa, since you know that Ogata Ichitosai is innocent, why don't you tell Toda Tadahiro about this and let them terminate the wanted for Ogata Ichisai..."

Before the question was completely asked, Mucun immediately paused and stopped asking further.

Because he realized that he had asked a stupid question.

"Makimura, just like what I said just now." Kamiyama smiled bitterly, "Master Toda doesn't care if the murderer is Ogata Ichitosai."

"He would want Ogata Ichitosai all over the city, because the murderer must be someone who looks very similar to Ogata Ichitosai, or who can easily become Ogata Ichitosai~www.wuxiahere.com~ Ogata Itosai The wanted warrant is currently the best method of investigating and tracking down the murderer."

"Even if Toda-sama knows that the murderer is definitely not Ogata Itosai, he will definitely continue to let his people continue to hold high the wanted order for Ogata Itosai, and look for all the people who look very similar to Ogata Idosai. "

"Until the real behind-the-scenes is uncovered, this wanted for the whole city of Ogata Ichitosai will not be revoked."

"Well, I will stop here for the introduction of recent events in Kyoto."

Shenshan cleared his throat again, and the solemn color climbed to Shenshan's cheeks again.

"There is a considerable suspicious point in this murder case, that is: the murderer never masked his face, and when he was beheading anyone, there happened to be witnesses at the scene."

"I ran away immediately after killing people, and did not silence witnesses."

"This kind of action is like... deliberately allowing many people to see his face and see what kind of person is killing people..."

"Mucun, my instinct tells me-the Los Angeles bombing case two months ago, and the current murder case, may be the same group of people, they may be planning something incredible..."

"Master Shenshan." Mucun shrugged, "The bombing two months ago, and the murderer case now-these two unrelated cases, why do you think they were done by the same people?"

"...Makimura, you should also know-my intuition in this regard has always been accurate. When you were still the strength of our Kyoto, with my intuition, we successfully eliminated countless intents to destroy in Kyoto. Isn't it a thief?"
