The Legend of Izumo Chapter 7, Three Artifacts (Part II)
"Don't come here, that organization is terrible, pretty scary! Hurry up, hurry! ”
The masked man picked up the sharp knife in his hand and slashed at his back, blood spilling on the floor, which was extremely bright red. He took the sharp knife and walked towards the little boy step by step.
"Next one, it's you!"
Qin Kai opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately sat up from the bed, holding his head in his hands, already sweating profusely. He looked at the time, it was six o'clock in the morning, Qin Kai turned on the TV and switched to the news channel, only to see a news broadcast on it:
Just last night, there was a theft in Ise Jingu in Mie Prefecture, and the Yatsuki mirror was stolen! This is a token of the Japanese Imperial Family! Now the police are investigating. Qin Kai turned off the TV and came out of the window, is it so exciting?
A bell rang, Qin Kai connected the phone, and the sound of eating instant noodles was mixed with the sound of tapping on the keyboard, and after a while, he spoke:
"Xiao Kai, it's okay over there in Japan."
"The day after I first arrived, there was a murder case."
"No, it won't! Are you okay then? ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I'm going to come back later, after all, I'll come back after the case is solved. How's it going over there? Xiaoyu? ”
"I'm fine here, but there's a new teacher in our class, who is said to teach science, and he's going to replace the old one."
"Science teacher?"
"I heard that it's a big beauty, and I'll be here tomorrow. By the way, Xiao Kai, you have to pay attention to safety! ”
"Don't worry, I'll protect myself."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Kai looked out the window and fell into deep thought.
At seven o'clock in the morning, a WeChat message came from Toru Fujiwara, which read:
The identity of the deceased is known.
He immediately put on his backpack and left the room. He walked to a place selling breakfast and came to a man in a red shirt, who said as he ate his fritters:
"Have you eaten yet?"
"After eating, who is the deceased?"
"Just this morning, Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori sent me an autopsy report, and I will tell you about the specific situation."
"The deceased, male, thirty-five years old, named Tokugawa Ieshige, Amaterasu Shrine was opened by him, and he was the boss behind the scenes. It is said that he believed in Amaterasu and was in awe of other gods, but he was quite disgusted with the Yaki Orochi. The deceased was slashed a total of eight times, and the eight neat incisions were cut by a sharp knife. ”
"And does he have any other relatives? Such as sisters and sisters. ”
Just now, his parents came to claim the body, and after making sure it was him, they wept. He has two older sisters, one is named Tokugawa Miko, who currently works at Glamorous Beauty, specializing in cosmetics; There is also a name called Emi Tokugawa, who opened a lingerie store, and the name of the store is Urban Beauty. ”
"Did Tokugawa Ieshige do anything too much during his lifetime? Are there any enemies? ”
"Then I don't know." After eating the last fritter, Toru Fujiwara said:
"Speaking of which, I wonder if you've ever heard of a village here in Izumo where they believe in the Yaki Snake and use it as a totem."
"Then I really haven't heard of it."
"This village is called Yagi." Toru Fujiwara shook his fan and talked about the past of Yagi Village.
Legend has it that before Susanoo arrived in Izumo Province, which is now Izumo, the Yaki Snake began to plague the locals, often eating eight pairs of boys and girls, and its huge body was suddenly stuck in the trees, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not break free. It happened to be seen by a passing citizen.
He couldn't bear to suffer the Yaki Snake, so he borrowed an axe from nearby and cut down the two trees that caught it, and the Yaki Snake came out smoothly. As it opened its jaw to eat him, the man walked up to its abdomen and looked at the scar:
"I'll heal you."
In the time that followed, the man stayed with Yagi Orochi, healing it, and after a while, its injuries began to heal.
"Your injuries are healed, you can go."
Yaki Orochi stuck one of his heads into his ear and whispered a few words. He understood.
"It's nothing, it's a gesture, and besides, I'm not afraid of you."
It continued to stare at the man in front of it with its bright red eyes. He looked at Yaki Orochi and continued:
"Yaki Orochi, we will become very good friends, I wonder if you can do me a favor and avenge me, go and kill a man named Hideo Kuroshima, he killed my wife and daughter, and took away the place where I lived, can you live with me, once I succeed in recapturing it, I will always believe in you and serve you."
It turned its head and headed off into the distance. But the man believed it would come.
So three days later, the Yagi Orochi appeared in the village unexpectedly, and after destroying all the neighborhood, he found the man named Hideo Kuroshima and bit him to death. After that, the man, in gratitude for it, made the villagers there revere it for generations, believed in it, and hung it as a totem on both sides, and the man named the village:
Yagi Village.
Qin Kai and Toru Fujiwara came to the statue of the Yaqi Orochi and looked at the statue:
"Yagi Village, where is it?"
"As far as I know, this village is not far ahead."
"By the way, Toru Fujiwara, do you know about the theft of the Yatsuki mirror in Ise Jingu last night?"
"I've heard of it, but why did you steal the mirror? It is a symbol of the Japanese imperial family, and it is very sacred. ”
"It's Qin Kai and Toru Fujiwara!"
They looked for a voice, and a man in a black jacket walked towards them, and it was Toyotomi Hideyori.
"You're here too!"
"Coincidentally, Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori, where are you going?"
"I'm going to ask the two sisters of Tokugawa Ieshige, what were they doing at the time of the crime?"
"Then we'll go with you."
At this time, it was almost noon, and after Qin Kai and the others ate a bowl of noodles nearby, they walked towards the glamorous beauty.
"This is it."
The three of them walked inside, filled with all kinds of cosmetics, and not far away, a group of people lined up to experience the new cosmetics. Toyotomi Hideyori walked up to one of the waiters:
"Hello, may I ask where is Miko Tokugawa at the counter?"
The waiter gestured to the place where a bunch of people were waiting in line in front of him:
"She's right there, trying out new cosmetics for customers, so maybe you'll have to wait."
"Thank you."
Toyotomi Hideyori walked to Qin Kai's side.
"There's a long line waiting to test new cosmetics, and the person who is waiting for customers is Emi Tokugawa. Looks like we'll have to wait a while. ”
Toyotomi Hideyori found a bench from nearby and made it.
After about ten minutes, the long line arrived, and there she was tidying up the counter and tidying up the scattered bottles on the table. Toyotomi Hideyori and they walked over:
"You're Miko Tokugawa."
"You are?" She looked up and looked him in the eye and said.
Toyotomi Hideyori took out the ID book from his pocket:
"I'm Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori, you should know the news of your brother's death, and I ask you to cooperate with our investigation, and those two next to me are my partners."
"I wonder what Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori wants to learn from me?"
"Where were you between 8 and 9 a.m. on June 9th? Have you ever been to Amaterasu Shrine? ”
She put her hand on her chin, thought about it carefully, and said:
"During that time, I was in the store, and it happened to be the busiest time, and the store was doing promotions."
"That's it! What time did you arrive yesterday? ”
"I went out at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and because my family lives far away, it was already 8:20 when I took the bus to Amaterasu Shrine, and I passed by the shrine and walked to the store."
"Did you notice anything strange when you passed by? For example, have you ever seen a man wearing a mask walk into the shrine? ”
"Speaking of which, I did see a suspicious person dressed in black, wearing a mask, and walked into the shrine."
"Was there someone who walked inside before him when he walked inside the shrine?"
"Then I didn't see it, I just saw the man walk in. By the way, Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori, do you believe that there really is an Yaki Orochi in this world? ”
"That's just a legend."
"I saw it, I saw the Yaqi Orochi!"
"Really, really?"
"Yesterday morning, when I saw the man go in, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and there was thunder, and strangely enough, only the sky above Amaterasu Shrine was gloomy, and there was nothing else. Then I saw that under the electric light, a behemoth with eight heads writhed there, it was the Yaki Orochi! ”
"So evil, couldn't it really be that Yaki Orochi sent a samurai to kill him?"
Qin Kai looked at Miko Tokugawa carefully, she was wearing a black suit and black pants, and a pair of black leather shoes were shining against the light.
"Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"No, thank you for cooperating with my investigation." Toyotomi Hideyori stretched out his hand and shook it with her:
"Don't look at me as a chief inspector now, as soon as this case is solved, I will immediately become the chief inspector, if I successfully pass the exam, the police department will have no problem, and I can even go to the police department."
He burst out laughing. Qin Kai and Toru Fujiwara were speechless for a while, do they really want to be the head of the inspection so much?
"Looks like he's gone mad."
After leaving the glamorous beauty, the three of them walked towards the urban beauty.
The underwear is placed on both sides, and from time to time customers come in to have a look, while the shopping guide next to him is patiently explaining. Toyotomi Hideyori came up to one of the shoppers: "Is your store manager here?" ”
"You're looking for our store manager?"
"That's right."
"Then you wait a minute, I'll call the store manager."
A sonorous voice rang out. Facing Qin Kai and them, he was wearing a black T-shirt and white shorts, with burgundy curly hair, tattoos carved on his left and right hands, a pair of snow-white long legs, full breasts as if they were about to come out, and abdominal muscles could be seen on his slender waist.
Toyotomi Hideyori took out his ID book:
"Presumably you are Emi Tokugawa, I am Inspector General Toyotomi Hideyori, please cooperate with our investigation."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of white mist sprayed on his face.
Emi Tokugawa said while smoking:
"So, what do you want to know?"
"Where were you yesterday morning between eight and nine o'clock? Have you ever been to a shrine? ”
"I left the house at eight o'clock, and then opened the shop and started the day, but I haven't been to Amaterasu Shrine. I was in the store from 8 to 9 o'clock. ”
"Do you like tattoos? You have tattoos on both hands, and you probably have tattoos elsewhere. ”
Qin Kai looked at her and said. Emi Tokugawa looked at Qin Kai: "Do you want to see it so much?" ”
"If there's a line from below your shoulders to your waist, then you've got other tattoos."
The corners of Emi Tokugawa's mouth rose:
"How old are you?"
"Eighteen."
After thinking for a while, she suddenly burst out laughing, and she threw away the cigarette butt: "Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori and the handsome guy next to you, please go out for a while." ”
"There are no outsiders here, so let's take a look." Inspector Toyotomi Hideyori looked around and made sure that no one was there, so he looked at her with bright eyes.
"No, I'll just show him alone!"
Emi Tokugawa threw a wink at Toyotomi Hideyori, and his nosebleed immediately. Toru Fujiwara grabbed him:
"In that case, let's go and wait outside."
The two of them walked outside.
Emi Tokugawa looked at Qin Kai and took off the black T-shirt, revealing black lace underwear. Sure enough, as Qin Kai predicted, there was a black dragon tattooed here from the shoulder down to the waist, and the rest of the place was a rose, covered with thorns.
"Thorny roses."
"It's beautiful and terrifying."
"If I'm fine, can I put on a T-shirt?"
"Yes."
After putting on the T-shirt, Qin Kai said goodbye to her and walked out of the store.
"How?"
"She has a black dragon tattooed on her body, and next to it are thorny roses."
"Thorny roses, dangerous and terrifying!"
As night fell, a man stood on a rooftop, looking into the distance with a telescope.
"The next two artifacts, the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade and the Tiancong Cloud Sword, I will take you immediately. Wait for me. ”
A smile appeared on his face.
