Inside the "Ishii House", blood was flowing. It was difficult to find a place to stay on the originally smooth floor. Broken limbs and broken hands were spread all over the floor. The scene was like Shura Hell, coupled with the pungent smell of blood, even those who had been there for a long time were The officers from the Proven Organized Crime Countermeasures Section 4 couldn't help but want to vomit, but they couldn't destroy the scene, so they could only forcefully cover their mouths, turn around and run outside to vomit.
Yakushiji Ryoko frowned, looking at the dead people on the floor in the hotel hall, thinking about who did this?
The counterattack of Tokyo's established yakuza organizations? impossible! How can those old immortals still have the courage!
Are emerging forces challenging the current underworld hegemons? Impossible! The "Crazy Eighty-eight" are all fighting masters who are one to ten. If there is a new underworld force in Tokyo that can completely annihilate the "Crazy Eighty-eight", there is no way that Ryoko Yakushidera will not know about it.
Is it a "dragon crossing the river" by foreign forces? This possibility is not small. The "Crazy Eighty-Eight Guys" were originally supported by foreign gangs to make money in Japan. The leader Oren Ishii also has foreign ancestry. At least 30% of the guests entertained in the "Ishii House" every day are People associated with foreign gangs, other foreign gangs have long been jealous of the gang behind the "Crazy 88" and want to replace them by making money in Tokyo with the help of the "Crazy 88", so the foreign gangs overthrew the "Crazy 88". "Group of 18" is not impossible, but all the dead here were killed by cold weapons, and foreign gangsters have always liked to use hot weapons, and suddenly they turned to cold weapons to kill people. This still doesn't seem right.
But no matter what, one thing is certain, this murder was definitely not committed by the Tokyo mafia gang, because with the current situation of the Japanese mafia, it is impossible for the Japanese mafia... let alone the ability to commit such a murder.
Perhaps in the minds of many people, the Japanese underworld is still the one that covers the sky with one hand and is so majestic that even the police will shy away when they see it. But the reality is that the current situation of the Japanese underworld is a bit bleak.
According to statistics from the Japanese police organization, in 2015, the number of gang members in Japan was about 20,000. Compared with the number of hundreds of thousands at its peak, not only was it cut in half, but an extra "0" was erased. , and among the 20,000 underworld members, more than 40% of the underworld members are over fifty years old, while those between the ages of 20 and 29 only account for 5% of all underworld members. Less than.
In 2019, the immediate leader of a certain underworld organization was shot in the head with an automatic rifle by a member of a rival underworld organization.
This seems to be a very ordinary gangster assassination, but the nature is a bit bad because of the use of firearms. But what is really worth noting is that in this assassination, the gunman was fifty-two years old, and the team leader who was assassinated was fifty-two years old. Nine years old.
In 2020, another member of a mafia organization fired several shots at the house of the second-in-command of a rival mafia organization. When he escaped, he was arrested on the spot by police patrolling nearby. The gunman was 76 years old.
Not only the above, most of the leaders of the underworld organizations are over 70 years old, and the core members are all in their 60s or 70s.
Because of the influence of film and television works and animation culture, many people think that the Japanese gangsters think that the gangsters are hot-blooded gangsters who dare to fight and kill. Hot-blooded gangsters are indeed hot-blooded gangsters, but it is a pity that they are old gangster gangsters.
In the internal magazine of a well-known Japanese underworld organization, there was once published such a poem "Sichuan Liu" (a form of poetry). What is more serious than leaking information is leaking urine.
The aging population that troubles Japan the most is particularly serious among underworld organizations. How could such a Japanese underworld possibly produce such a brutal murder? They don't have this ability at all!
More than thirty years ago, after that night stained red by blood, the Japanese underworld was destined to come to an end.
"How about it?"
Yakushiji Ryoko asked Kujo Sakurako who was squatting on the ground checking the body.
Sakurako Kujo wore a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that seemed to be inlaid with ink jade. Her black trousers and white shirt gave her a very clean feeling, but she squatted down without any hesitation. On the floor covered with blood, carefully examine the bodies on the ground.
"It is basically certain that these people died at the hands of the same person, and the murderer was a woman."
Kujo Sakurako took off her blood-stained gloves and said.
Men and women have different skeletons, and their body movement trajectories will be different. Kujo Sakurako calculated from the angle of the wounds on the deceased and concluded that the murderer was a woman.
"woman?"
Yakushidera Ryoko had always trusted Kujo Sakurako's judgment, but when she heard Kujo Sakurako say that the murderer was a woman, she was still stunned.
To commit such a brutal murder, the murderer was actually a woman, which shocked Yakushiji Ryoko.
"Well, she is still a very tall woman between 175 and 180 centimeters tall. Her sword skills are quite good. The murder weapon she used is also a very sharp samurai sword. The cut is very smooth. The sword and Brilliant skills, without any of them, it would be impossible.”
Kujo Sakurako gestured.
"Katana...is it really a mafia vendetta?"
Ryoko Yakushiji frowned. Apart from swordsmen, katana swords were most commonly used by gangster thugs. After all, guns were banned in Japan, and everything between gangsters was solved with cold weapons.
And this is an urban area. Once gunshots are fired, the police from the Metropolitan Police Department can flood the "Ishii House". This is why when the female killer went on a killing spree, no one from the "Crazy Eighty-Eight" was used. Point the gun at the female killer - it's not that they don't want to, but in a pub where people come and go, they don't hide guns at all, and the members don't carry guns with them.
"I can't say for sure. After all, the 'Crazy Eighty-Eight Group' has offended many people since they came to power."
Kujo Sakurako shook her head.
As a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, even if she is not romantically involved, Kujo Sakurako will inevitably come into contact with some information about the underworld. In fact, today is not the first time she has encountered someone related to the "Crazy Eighty-Eight Group" The case is that in the past, the "Crazy Eighty-Eight" were the ones who made the corpses, but now it is the members of the "Crazy Eighty-Eight" who have become the corpses, including their leader, the man who made the Japanese underworld frightened. Crazy woman, Oren Ishii.
I heard that Oren Ishii liked to cut off the enemy's head entirely to intimidate others, but now the murderer cut off the skull. Such a way of death is really ironic when you think about it.
However, the murderer's method of cutting off the skull was really neat. If Ishii Oren's body could be taken back to make a specimen... Oops, forensic medicine is such a depraved profession. Now that I see an interesting corpse, I can't help but think. Make it into a specimen and keep it as a collection!
(No, no, no, no forensic doctor would have such an idea except you!)
At this time, a police officer trotted over. The corpses and blood on the ground made him feel uncomfortable. His feet were soft and he wanted to finish the report quickly and leave here. His foot slipped on the blood and he almost fell down.
"What's up?"
Ryoko Yakushiji asked.
The police officer danced for a while and finally stood still. He said in a panic: "Counsellor, we found a sneaky person outside the wine shop. He looked like he was a member of the 'Crazy Eighty-Eight Group'. He has been captured by us." Now that he’s under control, do you want to bring him here for questioning?”
Yakushiji Ryoko sniffed, thought for a while and said, "No, I'll go out to see him."
Even Yakushiji Ryoko couldn't stand the environment inside the bar, while Kujo Sakurako was the only one who could remain calm.
After walking out of the tavern, Yakushiji Ryoko quickly saw a half-grown boy wearing a black suit similar to the corpses in the tavern. The half-grown boy was shivering, and his whole body was like a frightened bird, and he felt a bit like a man in the bush.
"Tell me, what happened in the wine shop just now?"
Yakushiji Ryoko didn't have time to calm down the half-grown boy, so he asked directly.
This kind of kid who ran away to join the underworld at an age when he should have been studying was not worthy of her care at all. After asking what she wanted to ask, she threw him directly into a juvenile home and let him be reformed there!
The half-grown boy was originally confused and didn't want to pay attention to Yakushiji Ryoko, but after seeing Yakushiji Ryoko's cold eyes, his heart trembled and he immediately vomited out everything he knew.
As Kujo Sakurako said, the murderer was a tall blond foreign woman holding a samurai sword. After entering the "Ishii House", she first killed the executive officer of the "Crazy Eighty-Eight" and Oren Ishii's side. He was the chief butler and military officer, and then went on a killing spree, hacking all the seniors in the organization to death. Only he escaped. Finally, he saw that the foreign woman was going to find the leader.
Because he didn't know who was stronger, the foreign woman who was like a murderer or the leader who was as powerful as a ghost. The half-grown boy wanted to escape but didn't dare to escape, so he could only linger outside the back door of the wine shop. He didn't think about it until he found the police coming. He tried to escape, but was caught by the police.
"Foreign woman..."
Yakushiji Ryoko murmured, it turned out that foreigners did it, but why did they use bushido?
Suddenly, Yakushiji Ryoko remembered something and asked the half-grown boy: "That blond foreign woman, what is she wearing?"
The half-grown boy said without thinking: "She is wearing Bruce Lee's yellow jumpsuit! Oh, and she even wore a helmet at the beginning!"
"Bruce Lee's yellow jumpsuit?"
Yakushiji Ryoko frowned. She remembered that the person who called the police said that the murderer was "a Meituan delivery person."
Confused, Yakushiji Ryoko took out her mobile phone to check information online to see what this so-called "Meituan delivery person" looked like, and then saw an image of a character wearing yellow and black clothes and a helmet.
Uh...well, it does look very similar to Bruce Lee's iconic yellow jumpsuit, and it also has multiple helmets.
"Yingzi, I remember that the person who called the police said that the person who called the police was an old man, right?"
Yakushiji Ryoko asked Kujo Sakurako.
"Seems to be."
Kujo Sakurako thought for a moment.
Although Kujo Sakurako is a forensic doctor, she is not exactly a forensic doctor. She also solves crimes part-time, so a lot of information about the case is open to Kujo Sakurako, including the strange police call.
"That's interesting." Ryoko Yakushidera chuckled, "Why wouldn't an old man recognize Bruce Lee's iconic yellow jumpsuit and mistake it for the uniform of a Meituan deliveryman in the Central Plains?"
"You mean, the person who called the police was not an old man, but a young man who was unfamiliar with Bruce Lee?"
Kujo Sakurako said.
"This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of." Ryoko Yakushiji nodded, "Moreover, he must be very familiar with the Central Plains and even lived in the Central Plains for a long time. Meituan takeout has emerged in the past ten years. I We are not familiar with you, but the person who called the police said that the murderer was a "Meituan food delivery company." Obviously, he is very familiar with Meituan, a food delivery company in the Central Plains. If he is not in the Central Plains, and he has stayed in the Central Plains for a long time recently. Time will not have this understanding.”
"What you said makes sense, but the problem is that we are looking for the murderer, right? Why should we report him to the police?"
Kujo Sakurako asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that compared to the identified murderer, this missing caller piqued my interest more."
Yakushiji Ryoko continued: "The mobile phone used to call the police has been found. It is a small leader of the 'Crazy Eighty-Eight Group', but he is already dead. It is unlikely that he died for I called the police myself, and all the footprints at the scene have been sampled and investigated. The footprints of the murderer and the members of the "Crazy 88" can be found, but only one set of footprints is found, which is the footprints of the person who called the police. .”
"The mobile phone was discarded in the pool in the lobby of the hotel. Unless the person could climb over walls and climb walls, it would be impossible not to leave any footprints. This is why I became curious about the person who called the police. How did he throw away the mobile phone after calling the police? Entering the pond in the hall without leaving any footprints?"
Ryoko Yakushiji said to herself.
"Um, Ryoko..." Kujo Sakurako said suddenly.
"Yingzi, what have you discovered?"
Yakushiji Ryoko asked. She also admired Kujo Sakurako's analytical ability and insight. You must know that Yakushiji Ryoko has extremely high vision. Ordinary people can't really catch her eye, let alone gain her admiration. So when he heard what Kujo Sakurako had to say, Yakushiji Ryoko suddenly became serious.
"Do you think it's possible that someone can fly over a wall?"
Kujo Sakurako asked.
"Yingzi, when did you learn to joke..."
Just when Yakushiji Ryoko couldn't help laughing because of Kujo Sakurako's words, Kujo Sakurako said very seriously: "The Miss Yan Ruyu at Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi's banquet before, the one who walked on the water during the 'Suigetsu Palace' You and I have seen these examples of the most powerful phantom thief with our own eyes."
Yakushiji Ryoko's smile suddenly faded.
Yes, how could she forget that there are still a group of unreasonable martial artists in this world!
And speaking of martial artists...
Somehow, Yakushiji Ryoko suddenly remembered the Central Plains boy she had met several times, the mysterious Central Plains boy whom Esdeath became the owner, and... the Central Plains boy who made people angry.
