147. Rat Monk
After the capture of Sho Yonemura, Makoto Kyushu and others left for the detention center and interrogated him.
Sure enough, Yonemura Sho is one of the backbone members of the Flying Heroes Gang, the one called "Gecko" by the police.
In the face of repeated bombardment interrogations, he knew that he had no way to escape, so he had to admit guilt and accept punishment, and confessed to several members of the Flying Heroes Gang by the way.
The police immediately raided their home and found masks and hoodies in their home, as well as two pills in the home of one of them.
"Do you know who sold you these potions?" In the interrogation room, Makoto Kyushu stared solemnly at Sho Yonemura's cramped face.
"I don't know. It has always been the leader who makes a deal with the thief old man, and then distributes the potions to the older members who are doing better. Yonemura gave a similar answer to the rest of the group.
"Wait a minute, you call him 'Old Man'?" Kyushu Makoto is aware of:
"So you've seen him?"
"When the chief made a deal with him, I saw him once from a distance. But I couldn't see his face clearly, I just judged by the voice and the shape of his body. Yonemura Sho raised his chin and carefully recalled:
"That old man will also sell us police information. Thanks to knowing the movements of the police in advance, we can guarantee a smooth escape every time. ”
"In other words, the black marketeer also colluded with the police." Makoto Kyushu thought about it: "Now even the police need to investigate." ”
"Leave the matter of catching the traitor to the Metropolitan Police Department, this is their own mess." Eliza sighed and interjected, "All we have to do is catch the Flyers." ”
"Yes." Makoto Kyushu nodded, and then looked at Sho Yonemura: "Do you know the identity of your leader "Trickstar"? ”
"I don't know. He wears a mask every time he meets me, but he listens to his voice as a high school student. Yonemura shook his head:
"But there is someone who should know him better."
"Who?"
"It's what you call a centaur." Yonemura replied:
"He was one of the first people to join the Flying Heroes, and he has the best relationship with Trickstar."
"Centaurs. Is that the one who runs fast? Kyushu asked.
"That's right, after he used the potion, he couldn't even catch up with the police car when he ran." Sho Yonemura nodded.
"Is he, like you, a student?" Makoto Kyushu asked.
"No, he's certainly not a high school student." Yonemura Sho shook his head: "I have worked with him before, and I should be in his twenties when I hear the voice." ”
"That's the youth of society, it's troublesome" Kyushu Chengcheng tightened his heart and continued to ask:
"Did you know that there are other members of the Flying Heroes who have special abilities after taking potions?"
"Except for the two of us and Trickstar, everyone else just boosts their stamina after taking the potion." Yonemura replied with a smile, "Of course, if Trickstar has recently found a great newcomer, then I didn't say it." ”
"Do you know what your leader's abilities are?" Makoto Kyushu pondered for a moment and asked, "I heard from the police that he would suddenly disappear when he was being hunted down. ”
"Trickstar never told us what he was capable of, but I've worked with him a few times and can guess a little bit." Yonemura Sho said mysteriously:
"Eight or nine is not far from ten, his ability is stealth... Suddenly disappear like a chameleon. ”
After some interrogation, Makoto Kyushu had nothing else to ask, so he prepared to leave with Eliza.
It seems that if you want to know the identity of the leader of the Flying Heroes, you have to catch the "centaurs" first.
They were able to catch the "gecko" because the other party was a high school student, and the identity information was recorded by the school, as long as they investigated carefully, they could find it, and the monk couldn't run the temple.
But the "people" are young people in society, and they may be the kind of unemployed vagrants who don't even have a fixed residence.
Yokohama is so big, and there is a mixed slum like Shoumin Town, how can they catch the "people"?
Do you want to investigate the unemployed youths and street gangsters in Yokohama one by one? Maybe they haven't found any clues about the people and horses, and the other party has heard the wind and fled in advance.
Out of caution, Makoto Kyushu asked one last time before leaving: "Is there anything else you can remember?" If you can provide more information, I believe the judge will judge the sentence at his discretion. ”
"Hey, I've said everything I can think of." Yonemura Sho lowered his head bitterly:
"Wait, there's one more thing that comes to mind."
"What?" Makoto Kyushu hurriedly came up.
"I remember when Trickstar used to make small talk with us, he said that his favorite historical figure was the Rat Monk, and that there was a portrait at home, which was an heirloom left to him by his father. Yonemura Sho lowered his head and thought with difficulty:
However, Trickstar seemed to think that he had missed his words, so he immediately stopped the topic and did not continue to talk.
After coming out of the interrogation room, Makoto Kyushu began to check the information.
Although the information provided by Yonemura Sho in the end seems to be a casual remark, it seems that at the moment, this may be the only clue to find the leader of the Flying Heroes.
Rat Monk is a legendary thief who was active at the end of the Edo Edo Edo period, specializing in stealing the houses of wealthy gentry daimyo to help the poor. Eventually, he missed a theft, was arrested, and beheaded for public display.
The Rat Monk is a well-known legendary figure in the country of Wano, and there are countless literary and film works about him. Trying to lock down the suspect through the "portrait of the little monk of the rat" is basically equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Makoto Kyushu told this clue to Yujinkey, hoping that he would have some inspiration.
Xishen Jian also shook his head sadly after hearing this, obviously clueless. However, for Eliza's sake of paying him a high daily honorarium, Yujin Jian said that he would use his ability and connections to investigate and give an answer as soon as possible.
Over the next few days, Makoto Kyushu and Eliza continued to check on high schools in Yokohama. However, after the investigation of the high schools with poor academic style, the two could no longer find suspects who met the standards.
Every day, Yinyangliao counts the arrested members of the Flying Heroes. Kyushu Makoto and Eliza captured a total of fourteen, the eight laws seem to have captured four people, and the other soul slayers who participated in the mission also captured a total of more than twenty.
With a large number of Flying Gang members and core members "Gecko" arrested one after another, the surviving thieves seem to be on alert and have hibernated like winter rats, which also makes the capture plan more and more difficult.
After searching for a few days without return, some of the soul slayers voluntarily quit the mission and decided not to waste any more time.
In fact, the investigation on Kyushu Cheng's side also fell into a bottleneck, and he returned in vain for two consecutive days, and almost overturned during the investigation and was reported as "illegal invasion".
Makoto Kyushu also plans to abort the mission, and he doesn't want to continue to drill the horns. Of course, the main reason is that his passport has been issued.
He has done his best in this arrest and has contributed enough, and now it is not undignified to quit, and no one can blame him.
However, Eliza refuses to give up and wants to continue to try - although she is basically useless in the investigation, and the money is a lot of money.
On the other hand, the Eight Laws seem to be on the same page as "Centaurs". I heard that he and his attendants had to look for traces of men and horses every day, and their teeth itched at the mention of the name.
"Miss Qinggong, we haven't found a breakthrough for two days in a row." One day at dinner, Makoto Kyushu confessed to Eliza:
"There's no point in continuing the investigation, so why don't we end it? We've already earned a lot of points anyway. ”
Eliza pinched her fork and gently stirred the soft-boiled poached eggs on the plate, clearly hesitating.
Admittedly, it is difficult to catch more members of the Flying Heroes Gang if this investigation continues, and the efficiency of obtaining points is almost equal to zero. For her "points supremacy", this is simply a waste of time.
"In that case, let's leave Yokohama tomorrow." Eliza's face was regretful, but she had to accept her fate.
The surveys these days are all led by Makoto Kyushu. If he wanted to give up, Eliza couldn't do anything.
"Good evening, both!" Xishen Jian picked up the stuffed dinner plate and sat over, the dark circles under his eyes were a little heavy, it seems that he has been painstakingly investigating in the past few days:
"I suddenly found a little eyebrow yesterday, so I'll talk to you after dinner."
