Chapter 24: Suspicion
"Dong Wenjue is dead?!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi leaned against the damp wall with his back, and the cold touch cleared his chaotic brain, which had some sequelae of sinking, a lot.
Yuichi Kudo nodded affirmatively.
"An organization with transcendental beings like the Dongwen Society is the focus of field agents, and there are also secrets buried by us in the Dongwen Society, this news can't be wrong."
"Dong Wenyu personally cut off Dong Wenjue's head, and has officially announced that he will take over the Dongwen Society."
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, then shook their heads at the same time.
Kudo Yuichi smiled heartily and asked, "What are you shaking your head?" β
Uesugi Kiyoshi pursed his lips, an expression that you knowingly asked.
"If you don't tell me in detail about the deeds of this Dongwen snake, I may believe it."
"But now... I really can't believe that a self-made man who has reached the top of the pole in Tokyo died so easily, and his daughter was hunted down and killed like this. β
"If he hadn't been able to do this, he wouldn't have known what he had turned into a white bone in that corner."
"A generation of heroes was beheaded by his younger brother in the headquarters that he had run for many years... Don't be funny, a third-rate midnight bad drama doesn't dare to act like this..."
Yuichi Kudo touched his smooth chin and had the same expression as a hero, and he spoke in unison with Kiyoshi Uesugi.
"You mean..."
"Fake death?!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at his friend's exaggerated expression and rolled his eyes.
"Don't pretend, you can explain what happened here in three or two sentences, this simple possibility, you wouldn't have thought of it?"
"I'm not sure, but it's very likely that he'll cheat to death, because the benefits are high."
"Fishing law enforcement, golden cicadas out of their shells, before the second generation succeeded to the throne, all the subordinates in the Dongwen Society who had different intentions for themselves were seduced out, and then used bloody means to purge and pave the way for the successor, this kind of thing is not without precedent in history."
"As for the method of cheating... Hmph, there are even ghosts and gods in this world, and the art of resurrection from the dead may not exist, right..."
Yuichi Kudo nodded approvingly.
He glanced at the torn clothes on Uesugi Kiyoshi's chest and smiled meaningfully.
"That's right, among the known extraordinary abilities, there are indeed those who can fake their death, but they have to hide it from Dong Wenyu... It's difficult, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. β
"Well, there are other benefits, I heard that the eldest lady of the Dongwen Society is a benevolent person, and this kind of shock can also sharpen her temperament, after all, Dongwen Jue is old, and the burden of this second generation's purpose, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will fall on the eldest lady of the Dongwen Society."
"And hatred is the most likely driving force to make people strong and mature, there is no one."
Hearing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi's face changed.
He muttered, "You don't say I didn't think of it yet..."
"Does it make Dongwen Maki more like a Yakuza Leader?"
For some reason, his mind flashed to the hideous and terrifying face of Maki Higashi, who had just been in the apartment building, because he had been blown up half of his body in front of her.
He could see that although the eldest lady of the Dongwen Club was a little pedantic and naΓ―ve, she was an emotional person.
So if she knew the news of her father's death...
Tut...
It seems that it is not impossible that his temperament has changed drastically, and he has been blackened since then?
In addition, before, the eldest lady of the Dongwen Club appeared in front of her apartment in Arakawa District so "justly", and she was "justly" chased by the enemy, and she saved him "just rightly".
His mind was racing, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's face was a little gloomy.
If this Dongwenjue is so ruthless to his daughter, then by the way, he must not have any psychological burden.
"What's wrong, Kiyoshi? Is there something wrong? β
Kudo Yuichi asked suspiciously.
Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at his friend and knew that the extraordinary ability of this "detective" was "super reasoning", so his brain should be better than his own, and this kind of thing is not unseemly, so he might as well say it and let him give him a staff officer.
"Yuichi, you say..."
"Could Dong Wenjue be calculating me?!"
"It's not that I'm being amorous... There are too many coincidences! I really don't believe in coincidences..."
"Dongwen Jue and my master are old friends, and my master went to Kyushu Island for something and instructed me to teach him Dongwen Maki's swordsmanship."
"As a result, within a few days, Dongwen Zhenxi happened to have an accident at my doorstep, and I thought of the love between the two families and helped each other."
"Then, Dongwen Jue was suspected of cheating to death, Dongwen would change hands, and Dongwen Zhenxi became a lonely and helpless lady in distress..."
"It's the same as a written script..."
"I'll tell you the truth, according to my character, although I won't die for Dongwen Zhenxi because of this, but she fell into trouble so suddenly, for the sake of the friendship between the master and her father, I will also help her..."
Kudo Yuichi frowned, his brain was racing, he took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, subconsciously pulled out a dot, and began to swallow the clouds.
"And this kind of thing? It was Shangquan Kenhao who entrusted you to teach the swordsmanship of the eldest lady of the Tobunkai that led to this scene? β
"Interesting..."
"Is this old thing going to pull you into the water?"
"Quite possibly... He fell in love with your swordsmanship, and your master - don't be presumptuous, Qing, the talent you are shouldering now and your master's connections are all a lot of help from Dongwen Zhenxi, ha, if you and this lady in distress rub a little spark of love, Dongwen Jue has a friendship with Shangquan Jianhao, kiss and kiss, Dongwen Juebai picked up a talented son-in-law, and also attached Shangquan Jianhao's connections for decades as a gift. β
"Even if you don't have any feelings for Dongwen Zhenxi, with your character of being gracious and repaying your kindness, when you see the daughter of your master's old friend in distress, I'm afraid you can't help but help, and this free coolie can't run away."
"Hey, it's really a good deal, it's a thing that only makes money and doesn't lose money!"
"Qing, you can go and ask your master, let you contact Dongwen Zhenxi, and teach her swordsmanship with Dongwen Jue's interference - inducement is also counted."
"Shangquan Jianhao is not gone forever, this kind of thing of apprenticeship, delayed for a few months, has no impact at all, right?"
"Why do you have to ask your disciples to teach art on your behalf?"
"I'll give you an example, you should have worked to earn living expenses before, and you were very short of money, and Izumi Jianhao knew about this matter, if Dongwen Jue and Shangquan Jianhao vaguely revealed that he was willing to pay a lot of money as a reward in order to find a swordsmanship teacher for Dongwen Zhenxi, you said... Will Shangquan Kenhao think of you? β
"You see, an inconsequential sentence has achieved his goal, Dong Wenjue is this kind of person, and he can do this kind of thing."
"Your hypothesis is interesting, and it could be true."
"Qing... What are you going to do? β
Uesugi Kiyoshi looked in the direction of his apartment building with flickering eyes, and muttered: "I never hesitate to speculate on the intentions of others with the greatest malice, especially since the other party is still an extreme hero. β
"But this matter can't be determined, and I can't just ignore Maki Tobun because of my wishful thinking."
"I'll find a way to verify whether this is true or not, and then I'll do it."
"If Dong Wenjue really wants to trick me into being a thug for his daughter..."
Uesugi pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat grim smile.
"It's not impossible, he has something for me, and he has something I am interested in."
"It is also normal to exchange for equal value and return for pay."
"Youyi, I'll go back and explore the tone of the eldest lady of the Dongwen Society first, and we'll keep in touch."
"You help me with more staff officers, and let's think of a trick together."
"If this Dongwen Jue really treats me as a knife to kill people with a knife..."
"Then I have to let him lose his wife and break his army!"
