Chapter 247: Stepping into the Seventh Rank (Part I)

Absolute strength represents absolute obedience.

This is the survival wisdom of the people living on the dark side of New Tokyo, and as the leader of the Ashida Group, Yoshishi Ashida obviously has this wisdom as well.

The strength of the fifth-order 5th stage superpower, Ashida Yoshishi knows that he is very strong, even stronger than some members of the third investigation team of the Metropolitan Police Department.

But in front of the boy in front of him with a gentle smile and a harmless appearance, he couldn't even capture the other party's movements.

From that moment on, he knew that the two sides were not at all on the same level.

Of course, what really made Yoshishi Ashida give up resisting was the bottleneck of the half-broken champagne that the young man in front of him was against his neck.

Obviously he didn't let out any bravado, but there was a rusty smell of blood in the air.

Yoshishi Ashida, who is very sensitive to this kind of atmosphere, is very familiar with what is hidden in it.

So when the other party said "I'll ask you to answer" again, he simply chose to answer truthfully - I don't know why, Ashida Yoshishi inexplicably felt that the young man in front of him didn't seem to be afraid of him lying.

......

The "I ask you to answer" session of the nightclub went very smoothly.

After Higashinohara showed the terrifying strength that he could easily stuff the broken glass bottle in his hand into Ashida's throat before everyone could do it, and by the way, give everyone's head another flower, the core backbones who followed Ashida Yoshishi did not act rashly.

Yoshishi Ashida honestly explained all his dealings with the shelter clearly, and if it weren't for Higashinohara to stop him, he would even have to confide in the bed of the woman in charge of the shelter.

Half an hour later, Higashinohara, Nishimaru Miri, and Xia Li stood at the door of the nightclub.

Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miri both looked back at the neon sign behind them at the same time.

When he turned his head, he noticed that the little guy Nishimaru Miri's bright eyes were full of "unfinished", and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Xia Li, the Tianhu girl next to her, was a little confused.

Before going into the tiger's den this time, she had many ideas in her mind.

Even imagine himself as a ruthless inquisitor, and if this hateful human trafficker is stubborn and full of lies, then he must know what cruelty is.

But now, Xia Li has a "just like this" look on her face.

Finally, she still swallowed her saliva, looked at Higashinohara and couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart:

"Shall we go back now?"

Higashinohara turned his head to look at her, "You're still having another drink?" ”

"What's so embarrassing about that?"

Xia Li was busy pushing her hand a little weakly, smashing it and smashing her mouth, the juice just now was strangely delicious, and it was really expensive.

Wait, it seems to be led astray.

"I mean... That guy won't lie to us, will he? He cooperated with the woman at the delivery center to abduct so many children, how could Nova not be abducted by him. ”

Indeed, in the "I ask you to answer" session just now, Yoshishi Ashida knew that he had no chance to resist, and shook off the criminal business between him and the Edogawa District Detention Center in recent years.

Only Nova, who disappeared this morning, when Higashinohara asked, he denied that there was no such thing.

Higashinohara also verified Nishimaru Miri, and the other party did not lie, but it didn't seem to be telling the truth either.

Thereupon... Higashinohara could only plunge the half-broken glass bottleneck in his hand into the opponent's right leg.

Well, the effect is still very immediate.

Ashida Yoshishi finally confirmed that his previous feelings were not wrong, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest lie in front of this man, so he could only gasp and tell the secret he had heard with difficulty.

Originally, according to the agreement, today was the day of the "shipment" of the Edogawa ward shelter, and everything had already been taken care of inside, so he only needed to come to the door to pick up the goods as usual.

But just last night, the day before the shelter "shipped", he received a phone call that someone had cut off his shipment.

"Who?"

Higashinohara asked at the time.

But Yoshishi Ashida shook his head and said that those who do their business, don't ask if you shouldn't know!

Since the other party has the ability to parachute in to intercept the goods, and has also made the person in charge of the shelter destroy the previous agreement, there is no room for resistance.

It can only be said that

The other party is the person they can't afford to provoke.

In addition, although Ashida Yoshishi didn't say anything, Higashinohara saw from the other party's eyes that there were very few organizations or forces in Wano Country that could not be provoked by the Ashida group, and even the Yakuza organization that was stronger than them could not let him suffer this dumb loss.

Then there is only one possibility, and this force is likely to come from the official top.

As for how much upper it is,

That's a bit of a mystery.

Thinking of this,

Higashinohara's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although he had never been optimistic about the politicians and officials of Wano Country, he never thought that those big people above would be involved in such a terrible thing in the world as selling people as goods, and an indescribable sense of disgust suddenly surged in his heart.

Is this the norm all the time?

Or is it because the adjudication division has withdrawn from New Tokyo and the storm is coming, so all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have jumped out?

Higashinohara doesn't know about this.

At this time, Xia Li suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say angrily, "By the way, what about that guy?" I just let him go? ”

Although Yoshishi Ashida has basically cleared his connection with "Nova", who disappeared this morning from the Edogawa Detention Center, he has been in this industry for so many years, and he is already full of evil, and Xia Li was eager to give him another leg to vent his anger at that time.

"Of course not, breaking his leg, the main thing is to confirm that he can't run for the past two days."

Higashinohara shook his head, took out a voice recorder from his pocket, shook it and said, "Our forensics methods are a bit 'special', go back and ask your boss to optimize the content of the recording, and then hand over the evidence to Mr. Morita, I think... Yoshishi Ashida has been arrogant under the nose of the Metropolitan Police Department for so long, and in the past few years, two people have been handed over to the crime to take the blame, and the Metropolitan Police Department must also want to catch this big fish once and for all. ”

Xia Li blinked when she heard this, staring at Higashinohara with a face full of surprise, "Higashino! You're really... It's a lot of tricks..."

"......" Higashinohara.

Well said.

Don't say it next time.

He shook his head and ignored Xia Li again, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Since there is no news from Yoshishi Ashida, everything will return to square one, and the only way to open a breakthrough can be from the woman in the shelter.

As the sun sets, the figures of the three disappear into the streets of Edogawa Ward.

......

At the same time, just when Higashinohara and the others left the nightclub.

Tokyo Bay Tamagawa International Airport in New Tokyo, the national central airport of Wano Country.

A huge private jet tore through the sunset like a giant black bird and slowly slid onto the runway of Haneda Airport.

In the open space on both sides of the runway, rows of big names from Wano Country, which can often be seen on TV, stand beside black solemn cars.

Today they didn't receive any guests, they didn't handle any government affairs, they just wanted to receive the guests on that private jet.

Among the people who greeted him in this row, the leader was the "our prime minister" Higashimori Valley, who often appeared on Wano Country TV.

At this time, his usually gentle and friendly face was full of heaviness, and he stood quietly with his hands in his hands and said to the person behind him without looking back:

"Is everything in place?"

"Yes."

The personal guard behind him said respectfully, "Shelter, travel, food... There are also the special needs of the guests in Beijing, all of which are ready. ”

Hearing the words 'special needs', Dongsen River Valley's eyes suddenly showed an extremely ugly look, and he didn't take a deep breath to calm down his emotions for a long time.

At this time, his eyes looked around for a moment, and suddenly he asked, "Why didn't the 'shadow' come?" ”

When the guards heard this, their faces suddenly showed a hint of respect and even longing, and for that elusive and unfathomable shadow, all the personal guards of the Prime Minister regarded it as their lifelong goal.

The guard hurriedly spoke, "Lord Shadow said that he had to take care of something, and it seems that he left a little trouble when preparing the needs of a few distinguished guests. ”

"A little trouble?"

A hint of displeasure appeared on the face of the Dongsen River Valley, and he said in a light tone:

"The cultivation of that guy Kimura... It's still not in place, since it's a small trouble, I hope it can be solved quickly, and any big trouble starts with a small trouble. ”

"Yes!" The guard hurriedly said, and did not forget to add, "Lord Shadow said that he would rush back before the emperor feasted a few distinguished guests tonight, please rest assured." ”

"That's good."

After saying this, Dongsen River Valley did not continue on this topic, his eyes were already looking at the black giant bird that had landed in the sunset.

Thinking of this day, the undercurrent that is surging in the secret of Wano Country, which is light and breezy on the surface.

Several countries on the Cross Continent that have established foreign trade relations with Wano Country have also sent a telegram to the Prime Minister's Office stating that from today until the end of the [World Conference] in June, those countries will refuse to use Japanese yen as a currency for collecting and paying for goods.

The implications speak for themselves.

Not to mention that in less than two days from yesterday to now, a large number of chaebol assets in Wano Country have fled under his nose.

If it continues like this, there is no reassurance to stabilize those chaebols.

The country for which he had worked so hard would soon be turned into a shriveled shell...

Thinking of this, Dongsen River Valley couldn't help but take a breath with a slight trembling body, and looked at the black giant bird-like private plane again.

After the announcement of the withdrawal of the Adjudication Division, will Wano Country usher in a turnaround at the [World Conference] in June?

He could only put this bet on the supreme and noble bigwigs in Beijing on that plane.

As for the condemnation of conscience and morality to be discarded, he is willing to bear it.

It's all for the country.

Dongsen Valley said silently to himself in his heart, and his face suddenly became resolute and rigid again.

......

Haneda Airport, which had been interrupted in the evening, was quiet on the runway of Terminal 3, and the doors of the black private jets slowly opened as they stopped on the runway of Haneda Airport.

A moment later, the silhouettes of several figures appeared in the hazy light and shadow, and the first to walk towards the spiral ladder was the one named Abraham of the Nine Great Celestial Dragons. The old man of the Rhine.

With the hatch facing the west, Abraham squinted slightly at the sunset in the sky, a meaningful smile on his old face.

"The sun is waning... Tsk, this celestial phenomenon doesn't seem to be a good sign, and I'm afraid that the number of qi in Wano Country is approaching. ”

The old man of the Aquila clan in the back, Wencent. Leon shook his head and said with a smile, "A small country, pinning one's fate on other people is destined to be impossible for a long time, but human beings are creatures, and they can't die until the last moment." ”

At this time, an old man with turquoise vertical eyes walked out, and he licked his lips with a smile:

"The last meal before leaving, it's really a long aftertaste, I don't know the loyal dog of Wano Country... And what kind of surprises have in store for us? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the dignitaries of the executive guest who picked up the plane from Wano Country had already walked over, and the afterglow of the setting sun gilded the faces of both sides in the same color.

Both looked at each other and smiled.

It's like a diner at the same table.

......

Under the same sky.

On the other hand, when Higashinohara took Xia Li and Nishimaru Miri and re-entered the alley near the Edogawa ward detention center, Higashinohara sensed that something was wrong.

The alley was empty, and the noisy noise of the children in the shelter yard that I had heard when I walked in at noon had all disappeared at this moment.

Xia Li also seemed to notice that something was wrong, pricked up a pair of long ears, and said with some confusion:

"What's going on? Are the kids sleeping? Or are you eating? Is the asylum schedule so early? ”

She opened her mouth, as if she had something to say.

Suddenly, without warning, the three of them heard the roar of a motorcycle engine in their ears.

It's just that the sound of this motorcycle is obviously different from the small motorcycle they are riding.

Higashinohara raised his gaze and squinted slightly, only to see a man in a black leather jacket and leather pants at the end of the alley, wearing a black motorcycle helmet, straddled a black motorcycle full of ghostly fire.

Nishimaru Miri, who was sitting behind Higashinohara, just glanced at the other party, and the small hand around Higashinohara's waist suddenly grabbed his clothes tightly.

"Big brother..."

"Don't be afraid."

Higashinohara turned his head and tried to soothe her with a smile on Nishimaru.

Then I found out that I was wearing a motorcycle helmet, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. His face turned a little cold.

The comers are not good.

Needless to say, this can be felt.

But who is the other party?

Why are you waiting for them here?

Could it be the person from the nightclub Yoshishi Ashida just now, but why didn't the other party make a move there?

Higashinohara suddenly realized something, and looked up at the extremely quiet shelter, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He turned around, gently picked up Nishimaru Miri, who was hugging him, and put it on Xia Li's small motorcycle, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Take the pear, you go first."

"Huh? But you. ”

"Let's go."

The conversation is brief.

On weekdays, although Higashinohara also complained a lot about Xia Li, he never spoke to her in this tone.

Xia Li was stunned for a moment, and realized something, obviously the man in front of her was a man who Higashinohara couldn't speak.

"Good! We're waiting for you outside! ”

Xia Li immediately took Nishimaru Miri, turned the small motorcycle and glanced back at Higashinohara, twisting the accelerator to ride back.

Unexpectedly, just as he twisted the accelerator, someone at the other end of the alley tightened the accelerator, making a humming sound that shook the air.

Higashinohara suddenly looked up, only to see the man straddled the motorcycle on the opposite side of the alley pressed the front of the car, and the rear wheels were raised high. Pull the throttle straight to the bottom.

"Let's go!"

Higashinohara raised his voice.

In the next moment, the rear wheel of the opponent's motorcycle fell to the ground, and the ghost fire motorcycle under the crotch twisted sharply in place like a hideous giant beast!

Immediately, like a cannonball, it slammed towards them at an incredible speed.

Under the white motorcycle helmet, Higashinohara lowered his eyebrows slightly, and he suddenly tightened the accelerator of his small motorcycle as well, and rushed towards the other party with some ridiculousness!

In the alley at dusk, on the battlefield like gunsmoke, the two armies faced the fierce generals in front of the battle.
