Kano Castle, Soji Okita looked at the corpses on the ground, and from time to time he could see the disgusting liquid on the ground or on the table.

Okita Soji, the captain of the Shinsengumi Ichiban team, combed Tsukiyo's head at this time, but he only combed the top of his head flat, and he didn't shave it bald.

Even a beautiful red-faced boy with a hairstyle like Yue Daitou couldn't hide it, looking at the erosive atmosphere here, he sighed dissatisfied.

"Captain Okita, we have restored the scene, the Assassin was brought in from the main entrance, and then he was taken away by a priest, who then killed the priest in a seemingly fit of shame, climbed through the window to find the Milanese merchant, and killed him." The samurai on the side said.

"Take me to see the priest's body." Soji Okita said.

"Hey!" The samurai saluted, then led him to a small box.

Inside the box was the priest's body, stabbed in the waist from behind, and by the way, there was a throat cut, and blood sprayed onto the ceiling.

And what everyone cares about is the priest's death when he just took off his pants, and he seems to be preparing something good, but he was directly stabbed in the back by the so-called good thing.

"Tsk......" Soji Okita slurred again, and when he saw the priest's death, he waved his hand directly to the samurai next to him, "I said, you remember."

"Hey!"

"The person who can be pulled into the box by the priest should be a very small-looking little boy, no more than 13 years old, he should be very small and thin, and he may not be yet developed, and he still looks like a girl, holding a short knife, not very powerful, but very fast......," said Okita Soji.

Just relying on the scene here, he restored the figure and appearance of Heshang Yanzhai to a seven, seven, eighty, eight.

This incident was very bad, because the dead foreigner was still a grain merchant who was related to the food supply of the shogunate, and the impact was extremely bad.

Even, the lord of the Choshu domain directly ordered a strict investigation of the matter.

Their Shinsengumi is under a lot of pressure, not only him, but also other captains, and even the third vice captain of Hijikata will have to come over.

If it is the locals who die, it is not such a big problem, just because it is a foreigner who dies, it is so tricky, and the shogunate itself is already crumbling, and if the foreign countries put pressure again, it will completely collapse.

Even if it was a big nobleman who died, it would not be so stressful.

"Captain Okita, I think the priest tried to plot against the assassin and was killed...... " said the recorded samurai, speaking for the assassin.

After all, at the time of the Black Boat Incident, he saw his sister dragged into the alley by the Bald Eagle GI, and only came back in ragged clothes and crying half an hour later.

I also saw some children being taken away by the priest and never returned.

At that time, he didn't have the strength, so he trained desperately to become a samurai.

And seeing this scene, he once again thought of himself who had no strength.

"No, the assassins came prepared, and the priest's death was just an accident." Soji Okita shook his head, "Besides, even if the priest really plots and is killed, that person will be caught and executed."

He looked up at the window, looked at the city, and sighed, "After all, we can't cure foreigners, we can only cure him."

"Captain Okita!" The samurai next to him began to empathize with a little grief and indignation.

But there is no way, even if the foreigners open an IA here, kill people, or even rush directly into the house to force other women, at most they will be sent back.

There was nothing they could do as samurai unless they gave up their status as samurai and joined the gang of reformers.

As for the miscellaneous pieces of the Restoration, they say that they kill foreigners, but killing their own people is hundreds of times more ruthless than killing foreigners.

"Let's start investigating the assassins, will it be Okada Izo? Or Yagyu Shinbei? Or, pull out the sword and smoke on the river?" Mr. Okita looked out the window at the distant port, the roar of steam freighters, and the constant flow of foreigners and young people.

"Anything else you've found?" He said.

"Captain, according to the investigation, one of the guards said he

I stopped a small child before, but that child was brought in by a man dressed as a bald eagle western farmer."

"Huh? Elaborate." When Soji Okita heard "little boy", he instantly realized something.

"That little boy, the guard's description is exactly the same as what you just said, and the man in the denim suit looks about twenty years old, a bit like a big green man, and a bit like a foreigner, he should be of mixed race." Another samurai gave the information.

"Yes, it's that person, heh, I caught a fish, can you ask that guard to find a painter to draw a rough appearance based on the description from memory?"

"Yes, Captain Okita."

"Then do so, and then take the portrait and hunt down the assassin all over Luye City." Mr. Okita replied.

"Captain Okita, what about the guy in the cowboy suit?"

"If you don't know if he is a foreigner, focus on searching, and don't arrest him for the time being."

"Why, Okida-sama...... That man is also a murderer!" The samurai with a high sense of honor yelled.

"Because, you can't cure foreigners, but you can cure the reformers, and you have to cure them to death!" The amiable face of the deputy of the Okita Soji disappeared and was replaced by a coldness, "Do as I say."

"Ha Yin!"

Some of the samurai below were angry, some were angry, but they didn't dare to speak, so they could only drag their swords away.

And even though Okita Soji knew that his subordinates were dissatisfied with him, he didn't say anything.

Looking out the window, he felt nothing but sadness.

"Separated by the flowers and water of darkness, the actions of the Restorationists will completely drag this country to hell, even if this penetrated shogunate is ten thousand times stronger than the disgusting Restoration government." He muttered.

"Ahem, ahem......" He coughed incessantly, taking out a handkerchief and covering his mouth.

The handkerchief was bright red blood.

"This damn tuberculosis......" He looked at the blood stains on his handkerchief, and could clearly feel that his own lungs were full of holes, and of course he would fight for the shogunate until his sword could not cut anyone at all.

"Hijikata-san, you don't need to take me to Flange for treatment, I know, tuberculosis is a terminal disease that will die......," he muttered, staring at the distant freighter and sinking into the darkness.

In fact, the high-level leaders of their Shinsengumi knew that they were already the remnants of the old era, but they could not see any hope in the Restoration, only endless despair.

Then it's better to die in the way of the remnants of the old era, and use this tuberculosis body to resist the crushing of the steel freighter of the era for the last time......

As for the contradictions with foreigners, his time has left him too late to think about such trivial matters.

I don't know why, but Okita wants to have ghosts in the world, so that there will be a clear enemy. I feel that this era without ghosts is even more sad, and even he would rather have the existence of ghosts, the existence of ghost killing teams, in that case, at least there is a clear enemy, and he can even deceive himself into thinking that as long as he kills ghosts, he will be peaceful.

Holding on to this false ideal, he finally drowned on the road to hate ghosts.

Their new group of non-selected wolves, the big ship of the new era no longer has their place.

……

"Open the door, open the door! The Shinsengumi catch the thief!" One by one, the Shinsengumi samurai knocked on the door from door to door, holding a portrait in their hands that looked six points like Hikosai Kawagami, and asked from door to door to check it.

But in addition to Kawagami Hikosai's, there is another copy, but that portrait is only kept in the bag, just meet the record, don't make too much noise.

The Shinsengumi samurai searched from house to house, but it was clear that they only searched the houses of the Fuso people, and as for the mansions of the foreigners, how could they have this power?

And many foreigners are also curious onlookers and point fingers.

They chose to do business here precisely because the Shinsengumi maintained law and order, and when they went to other places, they could easily be attacked by those hateful reformers.

However, after the black ship docked at the port, this land was in many people

In his eyes, he has become a hot weapon-like existence.

A face smeared with black ash and looking like a fugitive imp returned to Luye City.

He's going to complete his final assassination mission, assassination...... Mr. Levi......

But even in disguise, he desperately dodged the Shinsengumi people.

The portraits on them are already very close to his appearance.

The Shinsengumi came to the door of a shoemaker's house and banged on the door.

"Open the door, open the door, the new selection team will do things, and search for the thieves!" The samurai's breathless shouts rang out.

The door opened directly, but the moment they saw the gatekeeper, the samurai were completely stunned.

The appearance of the other person is exactly the same, not to say, at least a mold.

"What?" Levi asked casually.

Naturally, he knew that Hikosai Kawagami had been exposed, and it was very likely that he had already been investigated.

"It's okay, is this a bald eagle?" A samurai asked.

"Huh? Sort of." Levi replied.

"Then be careful lately, the thieves are planning to kill you, and if you notice anything, you can come to the Shinsengumi." After the samurai finished speaking, he bowed slightly and retreated.

Levi was a little baffled, he thought that the Shinsengumi would invite him to a cup of tea if they were the most polite, and he didn't think about ignoring him directly.

He closed the door, and Levi walked inside, where the original owner, the Sun shoemaker, was packing up his belongings and ready to leave.

"Mr. Sun, when did you book your ticket back to the Demon Capital?" Levi said.

"Guest, contemptible people are definitely not called 'sir', don't torture us." Sun Shoemaker said, but still asked, "It will take three days at the earliest to return to the magic capital, guest, what's going on outside?"

"The Shinsengumi are coming to arrest the Tsangyi faction, you don't need to participate, at least I'll stop everything before you board the ship." Levi said.

"Then thank you, thank you, Your Excellency......," the shoemaker Sun, thanked him incessantly, and seemed to almost kneel down because of the habits of his hometown.

But Levi immediately stopped him.

This shoemaker with braids can't actually get rid of the rules of green at all.

But the shoemaker's son, who is still only a baby in swaddling clothes, will be the first light in that land, the light that will change everything completely.

And the Sun shoemaker's family is about to leave here, they have come here to sell the property here, and then return to China to explore, and this shoemaker's hut is their last property on the Fuso side.

And Levi will protect them until he sets foot on the ship back to the demon capital.
