may be because Liangkun questioned it, so the crew was a little unhappy, and the first one was to search Liangkun.

Liangkun knew that he had not stolen, and accepted the search of the crew very calmly.

The crew then searched for a nun, and when they found a nun, they accidentally knocked over the box in the nun's hand, and the seaweed balls inside were scattered and rolled everywhere.

Shinichi Tachibana's cellmate, Daisuke Jimoto, took the sheep by the hand, bent down to pick up a seaweed ball, and hid it on his body.

Daisuke thought he didn't know the ghosts, but in fact, Liangkun saw it all.

So, after the nun picked up all the remaining seaweed balls on the ground, she counted them and found that one was missing, and immediately screamed: "Why is there one missing?!" ”

The nun screamed, and seemed to sense that something was wrong, and quickly covered her mouth, looking left and right, hoping that no one would notice her.

This seaweed ball has a ghost!

Seaweed bulbs, commonly known as chlorella, are a freshwater species of filamentous green algae found only in a handful of lakes in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Japan is also one of the production areas of seaweed balls, and the monument of Lake Akan is seaweed balls.

……

At night, the alarm on the ship sounds, and Liangkun learns that the nun with the seaweed ball has been killed in the guest room.

The nun lived in a second-class room with six people, and although the murder took place in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, there were still travelers in the same room who saw the back of the murderer - it was a tall man.

Before, it was just a theft, and it had been searched with great fanfare, but now there has been a homicide, and the crew has searched more closely.

Shinichi Tachibana and Daisuke Jimoto, who live next door to the nun, are quickly taken over by the crew as suspects.

After Liangkun, Wanwan, and Otomo Keishi heard about it, they also rushed to the captain's room to intercede for them.

Liangkun asked, "You have Shinichi Tachibana and Daisuke Jigen as suspects, do you have any evidence?" Is it just a dim back? ”

"Of course not," said the captain, "we were already impressed by the seaweed balls carried by the nun during the first search. After the nun died, the seaweed balls at the scene were broken. And inside Daisuke Jigen's suitcase, we found an identical ball of seaweed. ”

Liangkun asked, "What does that prove?" ”

"We opened the seaweed ball and found a priceless diamond inside," said the captain. Not long ago, there was a robbery and murder at a bank in Hakodate, and the diamonds kept in the bank safe were looted, and according to the intelligence, the robbers had already smuggled the diamonds on the ship, so there was the first search, and the theft was just a pretext for the search. The nun is the one who smuggles the diamonds for the robbers, and the nuns' killers are the robbers, who kill people after the nuns are exposed. Now, the diamond has been found inside Daisuke Dimension's suitcase, so he is the robber, and Shinichi Tachibana is his accomplice and the nun's murderer. ”

Liangkun complained: "Your logical reasoning is too loose, I'm really ashamed of Japan, a country of reasoning!" The robbers snatched several diamonds, but only one diamond was found in Daisuke Dimension's suitcase. ”

The captain said, "So, we are going to interrogate Shinichi Tachibana and Daisuke Dimension to find out the whereabouts of the other diamonds. You guys, rip these two suspects' shirts off for me! ”

After Shinichi Tachibana was stripped of his shirt, the "Tang Lion Peony" tattoo on his back was revealed.

The majesty of the lion contrasts sharply with the enchantment of the peony; However, its moral is similar to the Western "heart is like a tiger, sniffing roses". Both are two extremes of confrontation, one rigid and one soft, with one realm. If the two are separated, it will be sad, the so-called overlord farewell concubine! I couldn't help but have a sentence: "The lion is leaning on the side of the peony, and the rose is born outside the tiger's den." ”

The captain said: "Look at his tattoos, he is not a criminal, what else can he be?" The state should not have released him from the hell of Abashiri. ”

As he spoke, the captain picked up a wooden stick and began to whip Shinichi Tachibana and Daisuke Dimension in turn.

Liangkun said: "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll accuse you of the crime of torture! ”

The captain said nonchalantly: "Do you think the police will believe the testimony of two foreigners and a Yakuza?" I didn't say that you were also his accomplices, and it was already fair. Because I know that you didn't know each other until you got on the boat. ”

Keishi Otomo said: "Boy, if you talk to me like this on the streets of Tokyo, you will be torn to shreds by me. ”

The captain said, "It's a pity that it's on my ship now, I'm the captain." ”

The annoyed captain hit harder.

Soon, Daisuke Jigen went from struggling to justify to "I said, I said everything".

And seeing that Tachibana Shinichi was also beaten by the captain, he was about to burst out.

Liangkun rushed past the crew's obstruction, grabbed the captain's hand, and said, "Stop!" Torture does not reveal true information. ”

At this moment, a crew member ran into the captain's room and said, "Captain, you have caught the murderer, he actually hid in the engine room, and almost burned himself." ”

The captain put down the wooden stick in his hand with an embarrassed face and said, "Really? ”

"It's true," the crew said, "he had blood on his sleeve, more than a dozen diamonds hidden on his body, and a murder weapon he had lost was found in the engine room." He himself confessed to his crimes. ”

The captain said to the crew, "It seems that we did catch the wrong person, let this younger guy go." However, this old guy will have to beat ten more sticks. Dare to be a thief, are you not afraid of 'cutting a penny'? ”

Liangkun said to Otomo Keishi: "You can also help me ask for mercy, at the age of Daisuke Jiyuan, don't beat him to death." ”

Keishi Otomo said: "If you can't ask for mercy, steal or dare to pick up something and not return it to the owner, you have already violated the Japanese Criminal Code, caused a crime, and will be sentenced." Not only that, but after being verified, more than three times the amount of money must be returned to the owner. Now it's just a beating, no sentence, no fine, and it's lucky enough. If it was in ancient times, Oda Nobunaga had issued the order of 'one piece of beheading'. ”

Liangkun asked: "What is 'Yiwen Chop'?" ”

Keishi Otomo said: "Oda Nobunaga issued a decree that anyone who steals a penny will be beheaded!" This order, which was later retained by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, continued to be carried out. It was not abolished until after the Meiji Restoration. ”

Liangkun, Wanwan, and Otomo Keishi hurriedly untied Tachibana Shinichi, and watched Jigen Daisuke receive the punishment of ten sticks.

Liangkun said to the captain: "You should apologize to the wronged Tachibana-kun!" ”

The captain pointed to the door and said, "Get out of my captain's room, you filthy fellows. ”

……

Shinichi Tachibana and Daisuke Jigen were beaten internally by the captain of the Himawari, and it actually ended with the ship being thrown off the ship by the crew after the ship arrived in Oarai in Ibaraki Prefecture.

If Shinichi Tachibana is powerless to retaliate, Keishi Otomo has never thought of revenge.

"Why?" Liangkun and Wanwan were very puzzled.

Daisuke said helplessly: "That's Mitsui!" ”

Yes, that's Mitsui, the real ruler of Japan.

……

After arriving in Tokyo, Shinichi Tachibana refused to stay behind to recuperate, but had to drag his internal injuries back to Osaka.

Liangkun said: "The internal injuries of your body, when you return to Osaka, there will be no second result except for death." We hit it off at first sight, so we might as well be brothers, so that I would have a reason to help you, rather than watch you be beaten to death. ”

Liangkun is full of energy, and Tachibana is hard to resist.

Since there are gangs, there must be rituals.

Keishi Otomo said: "All the rituals of Japanese gangs are collectively called 'cups (cups', including four types of cups, including the name cup, the parent-child cup, the hand cup, and the brother's cup. ”

Liangkun asked, "What kind of worship is it?" ”

Otomo Keishi said: "Attacking the name cup is inheritance, the parent-child cup is the acceptance of righteous sons, the hand cup is the peace between the two sides, and the brotherhood is an alliance and worship." ”

Shinichi Tachibana said, "The first thing to do is to choose an auspicious day for the Cup. Fortunately, today is an auspicious day. ”

Liangkun said: "This is called 'it is better to choose a day than to hit the day', which shows that we do have the fate of brothers." ”

……

Keishi Otomo found a large room with an alcove as the venue for the ceremony.

In the alcove, a large piece of paper is hung with the words "Hachiman Daibun", "Amaterasu Emperor Okami", and "Kasuga Daimyō" written from left to right.

Keishi Otomo said, "The Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman, the Great God of Amaterasu, and the Great God of Kasuga are all Japanese gods of war, and we worship these gods because we are the descendants of samurai. For example, the origins of the Otomo family can be traced back to the Minamoto Yoritomo period. The mother of the ancestor Otomo Nonao, the daughter of Otomo Fujikene, Tone, was once the concubine of Minamoto Yoritomo, so the Otomo family has the noble blood of the Genji clan, and was appointed by Minamoto Yoritomo as the guardian of Bungo Province, with two apricot leaves as the family crest. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Otomo clan was able to become a veritable guardian daimyo of Kitakyushu because of his support for the Ashikaga clan, and after the Ashikaga clan founded the Muromachi shogunate, the Otomo clan was given the position of guardian of Bunzen and Chikugo, thus becoming a veritable guardian daimyo of Kitakyushu. During the Warring States period, the Otomo family completed the process of transformation into a Sengoku daimyo through three generations: Yoshinaga, Yoshiki, and Yoshijin. During the Korean War, Yoshitomi, the son of Otomo Yoshijin, was confiscated due to his loss of temper during the war. The dignified Otomo family was completely defeated, but it only survived as the banner of Tokugawa Ieyasu. ”

Liangkun asked, "What are the gods of Hachiman Bodhisattva, Amaterasu Emperor, and Kasuga Great?" Are there three gods of war in Japan? ”

"The Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman is the god of bows and arrows, and the guardian deity of the Genji clan; Amaterasu, also known as Amaterasu, is the sun goddess, the ancestor of the Japanese emperor, and the supreme god of Shintoism; Kasuga Damyojin is more complicated, Fujiwara clan guardian god Takesho mallet life (Kashima Damyojin), Keitsu main life (Katori Damyojin), Fujiwara ancestral god Ten'er House root life, Bimai God, four are Fujiwara clan gods, collectively referred to as Kasuga Damyojin. During the Warring States Period, Tachibana Somo, known as the "Unparalleled in the Western Kingdom", in addition to the simple "apricot leaf pattern" military flag and "only garden guard" military flag with the upper white and lower black as the base, and printed with the family crest, there was also a special military flag - "Sun and Moon God Torii Military Flag", which is written from left to right "Hachiman Great Bodhisattva", "Amaterasu Emperor Okami", "Kasuga Great Myojin" god seats, the golden sun and silver moon are painted on the top of the left and right symmetry, and the apricot leaf pattern and the only garden mori pattern are symmetrical left and right, and finally the two torii gates are printed left and right. The Torii flag of the Sun Moon God is one of Tachibana Muneshige's most personal beliefs, just like Uesugi Kenshin's 'Biji Banner', Kato Kiyomasa's 'Myoho-renge-kyo Banner', and Honda Tadakatsu's 'Hachiman Daibodhisattva Banner'. ”

Liang Kunqi said: "How do you know so much knowledge of Japanese history, I remember that when you were in middle school, Chinese history was not very good. ”

"I saw it in a Japanese comic book. ”

Keishi Otomo hung a note on the wall of the room that read "Four parties sit together".

Liangkun said: "This thing can be spread in Hong Kong in the future, so as not to cause conflicts in order to arrange the seats, and the ceremony has not yet been carried out, and the fight will start outside." ”

Keishi Otomo placed a triangular folded "bongshu" (offering table) on a small table called "Three Treasures", and placed a pair of deli (bottle-shaped sake jugs), three cups (sake glasses), three piles of coarse salt, two sharks, and a pair of chopsticks in front of the altar, and the offerings included divine wine, rice, salt, dried wooden fish, poplar branches, and a large basket.

Keishi Otomo said while arranging: "Regardless of the shape, Deli (flask) must be a pair, and there can be no notch on the jug." Be sure to choose a white cup. The two mackerels should also be placed back to back on each other's back. ”

Liangkun rummaged through the big basket to see what was inside:

Three white radishes on a skewer of three carrots, three green onions tied together with a flower rope, a bunch of persimmons, eight chestnuts, oranges, prawns, kelp.

Keishi Otomo said: "These things are all said - white radish, carrot, and green onion are rooted plants that represent 'deep-rooted' feelings, persimmons and chestnuts are plants with many fruits, which represent the glory of 'innumerable', the number of eight represents 'hair', oranges represent 'jade' (life), shrimp represents 'always full of guests', and kelp represents 'ocean-like social relations'." ”

Shinichi Tachibana said, "In addition to these things, the ceremony also includes a 'matchmaker' (introducer), a 'meeting person' (a witness), a 'taker' who presides over the ceremony, and a 'runner' who arranges the preliminary ceremony. ”

Liangkun said: "Just like the cross talk door swinging branches, it is also necessary to 'introduce insurance generations'!" Our triad also has 'four alliance brothers' of grace, commitment, guarantee and recommendation. Mr. Otomo and Daisuke Dimension can serve as a meeting person and a matchmaker respectively, and ask Mr. Otomo to recommend the rest. ”

Keishi Otomo found two friends: Hoshimojiro and Sato Kuzan.

Hoshimojiro had a fierce face, his eyes burst out with a sharp light, and his bronzed skin was shining brightly. With this face, it's a pity not to join the gang. However, in fact, Hoshimojiro is a truck driver by profession, and he usually drives a rampaging truck for transportation. Keishi Otomo called him "Truck Noro".

Sato Kuzan has curly hair, and there is an indescribable coldness in his eyes, as if he has eaten frozen fruits. Keishi Otomo said that he is a "foolish company", but he has not joined any gangs, so he is not considered a "Yakuza".

- Okay! The three generals are together!

The ceremony begins.

Under the guidance of Otomo Keishi, Liangkun and Shinichi Tachibana salute each other.

Sato Kuzan, the bearer, turned the two back-to-back sharks in the offering, belly to stomach. Take the left and right two deli (wine jugs) and put a "phoenix three nods" into the two wine glasses.

Otomo Keishi said: "If there is a difference in seniority, status, and power between the two people who participate in the Brothers' Cup, they will descend according to the 'five percent difference', 'four points six', 'seven three', and 'two points eight' to distinguish who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother, but there are few who worship according to the 'ninety-one'. If the two of you are in a perfect relationship, so you pour the same amount of wine into your glass, and you will be 'brothers' from now on." ”

Liangkun and Tachibana raised their glasses and drank them all.

Sato Kuzan, the bearer, poured half of the wine into the two empty glasses, then poured the two half-glasses into one glass, and handed the glasses to Keishi Otomo.

Otomo Keishi took the wine glass and said, "It's deserved, but it's disrespectful." Then he drank it all.

Sato Kuzan, the bearer, took out the Jinlan score prepared in advance and read it out. After reading, take a large bowl, use chopsticks to put the fish on the altar in the bowl, and then pour wine into the bowl, and then let the runner Momojiro hold the big bowl and go around the venue, so that all the participants can dip some wine with their hands.

Everyone clapped three times in a row, three times in a row, and then clapped vigorously once, indicating the meaning of "perfect".

Keishi Otomo said, "The ceremony is over! You're ready to smash your glass. The broken cups can never be put together again, symbolizing that your covenant is eternal. ”
