Chapter 20: The Past of the Extreme
It was a gloomy evening, with a sky covered with lead clouds, pouring rain, lightning and thunder.
The ground was littered with horrific corpses and severed limbs.
A young female police officer, who had just joined the company, endured the nausea and discomfort in her heart, and wanted to collect a human head that had rolled down to the side of the road, revealing a bloody cross-section.
That's a scary thing in itself.
At this moment, a faintly sneaky voice came from behind her, which seemed faintly sneaky against the background of the wind and rain.
"Can you give it back to me?"
"This is where I fell here."
Turning around in fright, there was a young man covered in blood, with broken clothes, a little pale face, squinting eyes and smiling.
The originally handsome face looked terrifying in this treacherous atmosphere.
If Uesugi Kiyoshi's neck is empty, you can shoot it and play it directly as a horror movie.
What kind of human suffering is this, and where does it come from?
The young female officer's mind was frozen, and after a few seconds of silence, a piercing scream squeezed out of her throat resounded through the streets, and the female police officer took a few steps back in a panic, stepped on the head of the person on the ground, and fell into the rain, supporting her body with both hands on the ground and moving backwards, frightened.
Uesugi Kiyoshi was stunned.
Don't be a cop if you have the guts!
I look so scary!
He ignored the policewoman, took a step forward, carefully bent down and lifted the head by the hair, and carefully measured it.
Don't let this coward trample this man's face for me, he's going to follow the vine to see who wants to take his life.
This scene fell in the eyes of the female policeman and the surrounding police, which was even more terrifying.
Is this a perverted murderer who came out of nowhere?!
A bloodstained body, looking at each other affectionately with a human head!
Soon, the police who came back to their senses had already faintly surrounded Uesugi Kiyoshi, which didn't look like a normal person, so let's arrest it first.
Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and looked around, touched his trouser pocket, and his face froze.
It seems like... Don't have your phone?
Tut...
Are you going to be invited to eat pork chop rice again?
A phone call to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, or a call to Master's friend, can settle this matter, this play obviously involves the participation of secret ceremonies, and it is no longer within the scope of the police to interfere.
Just when he felt that things were getting tricky, not far away, half of a teenager's body leaned out of the alley where his apartment was located.
"Why?"
"Go, go, all scattered, go to work, don't be lazy."
"Hurry up and clean up this area for me, go back and report it as a gangster, I'll say hello, or someone will poke those reporters, tomorrow you will see the newspaper, you all have to eat the top of the number!"
“...”
"What are you doing! Deaf?! The boy in the uniform of Haicheng High School held a black umbrella and gave orders loudly, and the policemen listened to his orders, turned a blind eye to Uesugi Kiyoshi very quickly, and continued to wash the floor for this mess.
Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth inadvertently curled into a shallow smile, and he carried his trophies, and walked quickly into the alley at the beckoning of the man.
The alley where his house is located has been blocked, and there are policemen standing guard in the streets and alleys to prevent pedestrians from approaching, but it is not the police who are busy in the alley, but several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, who are very neatly handling the corpses of black suits on the ground, as for the corpses of Jiugui Qing and Jiugui Chi, there are already a few people wearing white coats, and I don't know whether they are doctors or scientists, have come over and formed a small circle, and they are discussing in fierce words.
"What's the matter, Young Master Kudo personally went out on duty? I said, why do you sometimes run away after school, and you still have this hobby? ”
Standing there, holding an umbrella in the rain, was none other than Kiyoshi Uesugi's friend, a collector of the Collectibles Association, "Detective" Yuichi Kudo.
He is the linker who links the soul of Edogawa Ranbu, and is said to have the ability called "super-reasoning".
Although Uesugi Kiyoshi's words were a bit joking, they were not half distant, although he knew the identity of Yuichi Kudo, but he didn't plan to have anything to do with this friend.
Kudo Yuichi sighed, but also with a smile on his face, he took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Uesugi Kiyoshi, held the umbrella above the two of them, and shook his head with a helpless expression.
"I didn't want to come here, and I rarely go out on the field."
"The Arakawa Police Department received a report fifteen minutes ago, and at the same time, our field agents also launched a regional-level disaster alert, and after communicating with the police, our Collectibles Society temporarily took over the case."
"I received a notice, looked at the location near your house, and felt that something was wrong, so I rushed to take a look."
"I didn't expect to bump into it--you slashed that big man to death, what the hell is going on with this thing in your hand and this corpse?"
Kudo Yuichi sighed at the bloody head in Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand and explained.
Uesugi Kiyoshi walked a few steps with Kudo Yuichi and found a roof to hide from the rain, he shrugged his shoulders and said meaningfully, "I've heard that you have an amazing ability." ”
"Reasoning, let me see?"
Yuichi Kudo frowned slightly and cursed in a low voice.
"It's Akutagawa again, that bastard is talkative..."
He looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's expectant eyes, raised his hand to touch his smooth chin, and muttered, "Okay, okay." ”
"It's not enough for me to use my powers..."
"Qing, the so-called reasoning is not difficult, as long as there is sufficient intelligence, that is, clues, through simple logic and elimination, you can get a truth with high accuracy."
"For me, it's not the process of deducing the truth that matters, it's just the basics."
Yuichi Kudo took a deep breath, and a somewhat nervous smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Digging into the motives behind those crimes, and experiencing the sins and desires that incite human beings to kill their own kind, is more enjoyable for me than simple reasoning."
"The flower of evil that plunges people to hell is the most brilliant color..."
“...”
"The car parked on the street is the car of the eldest lady of the Tobunkai, there have been a lot of changes in the Tobunkai recently, the field agents of Shinjuku have to report the situation once every two hours, yesterday the head of the Tobunkai held a cadre gathering in private, and those cadres of the Tobunkai who participated in the party have not shown up so far, they are either dead or under house arrest, or they may have fallen to Dongwenyu."
"The wolf of Dongwen is ambitious, not a condescending character, the president of the Dongwen Society, Dongwen Jue, is bent on going his own way, and wants to pass on the position of the second generation to the only daughter Dongwen Zhenxi, this is the fuse, the Dongwen Society has long been surging undercurrent, and it is not too peaceful!"
"The identity of those black suits has been clarified, it is the Twin Ghost Group Martial Arts Fighting Sect under the command of Dong Wenyu, and the leader is the Nine Ghost Brothers, and on the Nine Ghost Brothers, a strong remnant of the power of ghosts and gods has been detected, and it can be determined that they have been transformed into secret rites, and it may also be that there are ghosts and gods who take the opportunity to take away the sacrifice - those researchers are still arguing in order to fight for a result."
"The last clue, your master, Mr. Shangquan Xiuchuan, has a good friendship with Dongwenjue of the Dongwen Society, and it is said that Dongwenjue did his best to help Shangquan Jianhao a great favor back then."
Yuichi Kudo stretched out his left hand and drew a circle.
"It's intelligence."
He then stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.
"And then after a simple logical concatenation, the result can be obtained."
"The eldest lady of the Dongwen Club has something to travel, and she went to the vicinity of your apartment in Arakawa District, and was ambushed by Dongwenyu, and you saw that it was the daughter of the master's friend, so she came to her aid, and easily cut down the nine ghost brothers who had become transcendental."
What Yuichi Kudo said is a bit brief, but it is not far from the truth.
He stared at Kiyoshi Uesugi's tattered tracksuit for a few moments, and continued to speak with some surprise in his eyes.
"On the wall of the apartment, I found traces of a bullet, and after a brief screening, the field agents determined that it was a modified 14.9mm caliber anti-materiel sniper armor-piercing bullet, and they moved the gun."
"Your clothes are rotten like this, there are burnt marks on the edges, as if you have been shot, plus you came back from outside, and you still have a human head in your hand that does not want to give up..."
"You got shot, and you went to kill the gunman?"
"You know that this sniper is not from the Nine Ghosts, so you suspect that they still have foreign help, and you want to find out the identity of the enemy through this person's appearance?"
"Shhhhh
"You kendo practitioners are so perverted? After being shot by a big sniper, can you still go to take revenge first safe and sound? ”
At the end of Yuichi Kudo, looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes was already like looking at a monster.
There may be transcendents who are not afraid of bullets - such as Hidekawa Kamiizumi, Yuichi Kudo knows the deeds of that swordsman, the same bullet, if Kamiizumi Kenhao is prepared, I am afraid that he can split it cleanly.
But... Being able to split or dodge a bullet and being hit by a large-caliber armor-piercing bullet without being injured are completely two different concepts!
Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded somewhat convincingly, recognized Kudo's judgment, and said with a smile: "Wonderful, worthy of you." ”
"That's pretty much it, I'm more talented, so I survived."
"Hmm... You're here just in time, I have something to ask you for help, this person's identity, can you find someone to help me check it? ”
Kudo Yuichi tilted his head and looked at the human head again, raised his eyebrows, reached out and took it, and touched the man's cheek without hesitation, tugged at the root of his ear vigorously, and finally called out to a field agent of the Collectibles Association and asked him to take the human head down first.
After scrubbing his hands a few times with the help of the rain and shaking the water droplets, Kudo Yuichi said with certainty: "Don't bother to check, this person has an identity, I know." ”
"One of the nine dragons of the Kowloon Group, the younger brother of Yuan Longhai, is a killer, no extraordinary ability, but specializes in long-range sniping, and is notorious in the world of Tokyo, with long-range accurate sniping, the transcendent who died in his hands also has double digits, and he is an annoying and powerful character."
"He is the most powerful killer in the Yuan Society of Yuan Longhai, he can collude with the Twin Ghost Group, it is estimated that Dong Wenyu and Yuan Hui are already wearing the same pants."
Uesugi Kiyoshi felt that things were getting troublesome again, and his brow furrowed even deeper.
"Kowloon Group?"
"That is the biggest yakuza in Tokyo, the ruler of the Dark Night Empire, the leader of the Extreme Path formed by the union of nine large groups, the Kowloon Group?"
In the past few days, he has been searching for news about the Tobunkai on the Internet, and he has some understanding of the extremist forces in Tokyo, so he will not be ignorant of all questions.
"That's right, it's them."
Yuichi Kudo's face is not good-looking either.
"So... The Kowloon group plans to support Dong Wenyu and attack Dong Wenjue? ”
"If I want to avenge this shot, I still have to be the enemy of the entire Kowloon Group?!"
Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone was a little gloomy, he was quite resentful, this almost cost him his life, he didn't want to just forget it.
Kudo Yuichi waved his hand with a solemn face.
"That's not going to be..."
"You probably don't know, Qing, the extremist forces in Tokyo are actually complicated, not that simple."
"Basically, it is the Kowloon Group, the Dongwen Society, and the three families of the Eastern United are divided into three parts of the world, among which the Kanto United has hugged the thigh of a certain big chaebol in recent years, and it has basically been whitewashed and faded out of the ranks of the gangsters."
"Although the Kowloon Group is also a new organization, it is considered to be the most [orthodox] gangster, and the nine groups of the Kowloon Society have inherited most of the heritage of Japanese gangsters."
"If you go back to 20 years ago, the Kowloon Group was not established at all, and at that time, there were three gangsters that dominated Japan: the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Sumiyoshi Society, and the Inagawa Society."
"They started out in the post-war depression, and their capital grew bigger and bigger, and they were once able to control the election of members of the Diet, but they became powerful in Japan, and became a stumbling block in the eyes of those capitalists and politicians."
"Later, as the economy recovered, politicians and chaebols became more and more in control of the country, and they naturally couldn't tolerate their cake being divided by these yakuza -- it's okay to drink soup, but it's not okay to eat meat."
"As a result, the government and the chaebol at that time reached a consensus and attacked the gangsters together, and the [Organized Crime Countermeasures Law], a law specifically aimed at the gangsters, also emerged one after another, and the major consortia also took action one after another to squeeze out the serious business of the gangs."
"On the other hand, these politicians are also very shrewd in adopting a policy of countering violence with violence - they want to prop up an obedient gang to deal with the disobedient gangs, and completely turn the gang into obedient dogs under their hands, rather than wolves."
"Hmm... The gang they supported, you should be no stranger, it is the Dongwen Club that was just established back then, which is also an important reason why Dongwen Jue can start from scratch, the best thing in the life of this Dongwen snake is to take advantage of the situation! ”
"The trick of killing people with a knife, he played it perfectly."
"Pulling the tiger skin of the government, grabbing food with the gangsters, and when he eats fat and strong, he raises his own self-respect, concentrates on gathering his own forces, and forms a delicate balance of forces, and in the end, the one who gets the greatest benefit from it is Dong Wenjue."
Yuichi Kudo's expression was a little admiring, and he seemed to appreciate Dong Wenjuku very much.
Uesugi Kiyoshi was also a little enthusiastic when he heard this, although he said it simply, but to survive in the gap between the government, the consortium and the Yakuza and forcibly establish a large yakuza with the number one in the Tokyo platoon, it is no longer a simple level of long-sleeved good dance.
This is definitely a strong man with a keen sense of smell, a deep calculation, and an iron-blooded wrist.
"The rapid growth of the Dongwen Society, and the oppression of government consortia in all aspects, have dealt a heavy blow to the gangs."
"At that time, the Yamaguchi-gumi in Kansai, Sumiyoshikai and Inagawakai in Kanto were a little out of breath, and they made an appointment and decided to hold a tripartite meeting and unite to form an alliance to deal with the pressure from all sides."
"It's a good solution, but they think about human nature too simply..."
Kudo Yuichi sneered, and his eyes became disapproving.
"These three veteran gangsters, the grudges against each other are simply countless, who slept with whose wife the day before, who cut whose family the day after the next, and the conflict of interests is layer after layer, this kind of bad things abound."
"Maybe the leaders are calm and rational enough, but they can't suppress the people at the bottom, and from the day after the three chose to meet in Tokyo, the conflict broke out."
"The trigger for the incident was that the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi was assassinated in the street and was seriously injured and died, and the spearhead was pointed directly at the president of the Sumiyoshi Association, and the person who did it was one of his cronies."
“...”
Kudo Yuichi was silent for a few seconds and sneered.
"Qing, although I have no evidence, I speculate... This matter may have been done by Dong Wenjue at that time! ”
When Uesugi Kiyoshi heard this, he was shocked, and the thoughts in his heart raced, and he instantly understood the meaning of these words.
Kudo Yuichi didn't say much, and after mentioning such a sentence, he continued: "It will be difficult to end the fire between the gangsters, and the government at that time is happy to see it, and the Tobunkai will fan the flames, and the three family talks have become three family fires, and the high-level cadres of these three families are basically dead." ”
"When they finally got tired and came back to their senses, and wanted to stop, there were only nine of the three large gangs and hundreds of subordinate groups left."
"The leaders of these nine groups reached an alliance contract after secret talks, gathered the remnants of the three large gangs, shrunk their forces, and invested all their wealth in the development of Tokyo, and then radiated outward, and over time, the Kowloon Group was formed today.
"In other words, the nine dragons of the Kowloon group... It doesn't have to be a heart! ”
"They were also killed and injured in the beginning, and contradictions arose."
"The Yuan Hui of the Source Dragon Sea started with a group of killers, and they are separated from the dragon leader of the Nine Dragons Group, and the relationship is not so good."
"Even if you seal the throat of Yuan Longhai with a sword, the Nine Dragons Group will not come out to trouble you, at best, his henchmen will avenge the leader, which is also inevitable."
"Hmph..."
"Qing, have you found out, after the turmoil, the three large gangs were wiped out, although the Kowloon Group was established, but its vitality was greatly damaged, the government did not reap any benefits, the only thing that took the opportunity to make it big was Dongwenjue of the Dongwen Society!"
"This man... You can't underestimate it..."
"In the Warring States period, I'm afraid this is a Oda Nobunaga-like character..."
While speaking, Yuichi Kudo's mobile phone suddenly vibrate, he took out his mobile phone, clicked it a few times, looked at the number, answered the call, and put it to his ear.
"Well, it's me."
"Say..."
"What?!"
“...”
"I see."
Yuichi Kudo hung up the phone, his expression becoming unbelievable - a violent mood swing that was rare on his face.
Seeing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi asked with some concern.
"Yuichi, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”
Kudo Yuichi wrinkled his nose and looked like a smile.
"Kiyoshi, [Oda Nobunaga] is dead."
He laughed a few times for some reason, the laughter was strange, and his tone became a little erratic.
"Just received the message."
"Dong Wenyu, the head of the Dongwen Society, launched a rebellion, and at the station of the Dongwen Society, he stabbed his brother Dong Wenjue."
"It is said that Dong Wen Jue's head has been cut off and hung at the door of the Dong Wen Society."
"Hey, hey... Now it's interesting..."
"The viper... Died so easily? ”
