Chapter X

Fujita Goro, what his original name was Lu Qiming has long forgotten. I don't remember much about that, this guy is a swordsman of the same era as Scarlet Village Kenshin. It's just that after the fall of the shogunate, he chose to follow the new government. He worked under the police department of Yamaguchi Aritomo.

This guy is not a good talker, so Lu Qiming waited until now to see him.

"Mr. Fujita, can I say a few words to you?"

Fujita Goro stopped and looked at Lu Qiming. Medium-looking, ordinary-dressed, and steady, but obviously not the steps of a swordsman. The expression on his face was calm, and he didn't see anything special. However, it seems that there should be no danger on the whole.

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Takeda has worked overtime until now, and he hasn't eaten lunch. Let's just talk while eating. I know of a good sushi restaurant nearby. ”

In the store, Goro Fujita looked at Lu Qiming. Slightly released his murderous aura. These swordsmen all seem to have similar abilities. It's just that Lu Qiming, who has seen one side of his heart, is really indifferent to this murderous aura.

"There's no need for such a futile temptation, Mr. Fujita. I am not your enemy. Instead, I'm here to work with you. ”

"Cooperation? I don't even know you. With all due respect, I don't see any sign that we will be able to work together. ”

"My name is Lu Qiming, a maritime merchant of the Qing Dynasty. Not long ago, he encountered pirates at sea and instantly became nothing. Fortunately, a dojo in the countryside called Kamiya Living Heart Flow took me in. This is my background, Mr. Fujita is a high-level member of the National Police Agency, and I can check it. ”

"And then? You're coming to report it to me? If this is the case, you should go to the registry of the case. ”

"If it had been useful to report the crime, I would have gone a long time ago. As far as I know, no one has ever been able to recover his rights and interests from any merchant who has been robbed by pirates, right? Fujita was momentarily embarrassed, he knew a little bit about this. There are many interests involved, and it is impossible for the government to deal with them in a short period of time.

"Then I'm sorry, I'm from the Land Police Department, and the maritime affairs are not under my control." Fujita pulled things out of the way.

"Mr. Fujita has been in the National Police Agency for too long, and he has learned their skill of shirking. But don't worry, I'm not here for this. I'm here to give Mr. Fujita a big gift. What does Mr. Fujita think of Takeda Kanyanagi? ”

"Takeda Kanyanagi?" Fujita's face changed slightly. This is the number one enemy of the Police Agency. A character who has been on the list for a long time, but has never been able to really bring it down. Actually, it's not really impossible to bring it down, but the police department seems to have more concerns, and at the same time they want too much. As a result, his actions are hindered everywhere.

"What do you know?"

"I don't know much. For example, where he makes drugs. Where are the raw materials coming from? Where and when the drugs are delivered. ”

An expression of excitement flashed on Muto's face, but then vanished. They had this kind of clue before. But the National Police Agency is full of people who Takeda Kanyanagi has bribed. Before the action began, he knew about it. Several operations were fruitless. As a result, morale took a huge hit.

"I don't care who you are, but Takeda Kanyanagi is not as simple as you think. We've had those clues before, but they haven't really hurt him. Can you be sure that these clues are correct? ”

"I'm sure because the clues come from someone who personally participated in these crimes. Of course, there is no basis for words, you can verify it. ”

Lu Qiming said, and directly handed the materials in his hand to Fujita. This action surprised Fujita for a while. He originally thought that he was going to ask for some benefit from Jean. But the other party just handed it over.

Fujita took the material, and sure enough, it recorded a large number of detailed time, place, and people.

"What do you want? It takes courage to go against someone like Kanyanagi Takeda. I wonder, why are you doing this? Fujita still asked the question in his mind.

"Quite simply, I used to be a maritime merchant. But then I lost everything. ”

"Lost everything?" I don't know what Fujita came up with? There was a look of surprise on his face. Sure enough, brain supplementation is king.

"I'll verify the messages, but you're going to keep yourself safe in the meantime. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again. ”

"Absolutely. We'll see you again in two days. ”

"Two days is too short. It will take me at least a week to verify. ”

"You don't have time. Takeda: Your channels are constantly changing. If you don't make a decision within two days, the clues are scrapped. So we only had two days, and we needed to make room for the next plan. ”

"I see what you mean. Two days later, we met here. Fujita put away Lu Qiming's information and turned to leave. And Lu Qiming ate a little unhurriedly, and then walked back slowly with the vegetable basket.

At night, a farm on the outskirts of the city. A figure dressed in black was sneaking in the dim moonlight. He moved quickly, but didn't make the slightest sound. The target is directed at the farmer's residence.

Unexpectedly, upon closer inspection, he found that there was no one in the room at all. Once inside the room, it was very empty. There are only some simple furnishings, which look very perfunctory. There is a feeling that there is a feeling of making people living here.

The shadow paused, then left the room and walked towards the stable, which was not far away.

The stables are huge, but when it creeps in, it finds that there are only two horses inside? A stable with a length of more than thirty meters. Even if you add forage, you can't just raise two horses. Soon he discovers the secret. In fact, only half of the whole stable is actually a real stable. Behind the forage is a secret door. There's obviously something in there.

He hadn't entered the secret door, but something was already apparent. It is one of the secret vaults of Takeda Kanyanagi. And just as the shadow was approaching the secret door, he suddenly paused. Then the body quickly retreated. Like a silent bat, it left the stable. With that, the secret door was opened, and two guards rushed out. One was armed with a long sword, while the other was armed with an extremely advanced revolver of its time.

Six-shot firearms in this era. Except for those top swordsmen with names and surnames, basically no one can fight head-on. The two carefully searched the entire stable, but found no clues. Eventually returned to the secret door.

"It's supposed to be a mouse, let's go back."

Wait for the two of them to leave. The shadow reappeared, took a deep look at the secret door behind the forage, and then turned to leave. At about the same time, the same thing was happening on the docks.

A figure infiltrated the docks, found one of the cargo ships, and quietly opened a crate. Inside are some extremely fishy marine fish. But if you open the fish, you can find it. Underneath these fish are a large number of lumpy objects tightly wrapped in oilcloth.

Instead of opening the objects, the man took out a thin needle with a barb and stabbed one of the lumpy objects from the side. Then he pulled out the silver needle and sniffed it on his nose. Then he quickly recovered everything, and then left quietly.

Things like this happened over the next two days. It's just that everything is going on quietly. These snooping activities did not cause the slightest wave. But these actions themselves represent some kind of storm brewing.
