Feeling that Yakushiji Ryoko's emotions were about to explode like Mount Fuji, Yan Kai sighed inwardly, and then asked: "Did you just say 'them'?"
Yakushiji Ryoko just used the word "they" when referring to the people who put pressure on her.
"That's right, 'them'."
Yakushiji Ryoko nodded.
It was not a certain person who put pressure on her. If it were someone, Yakushiji Ryoko could still handle it. But this time there were many people putting pressure on Yakushiji Ryoko, including not only high-ranking police officials, but also political figures. Giants in the financial world, and even big shots in the martial arts world...
In the past two days, Yakushiji Ryoko's calls have not stopped, so she had to turn off her mobile phone.
"How can there be so many big names protecting a mere prostitution syndicate?"
Yan Kai couldn't help but ask.
People who are qualified to put pressure on Yakushiji Ryoko and make Yakushiji Ryoko fearful should also belong to the top few in Japan's upper class society.
"Yes, that's it."
Ryoko Yakushiji nodded, and then said: "It was only after I received calls from many important people that I realized that the prostitution group had such great power, so I asked the kid what was going on with the prostitution group."
"Of course it's impossible for an eight-year-old child to fully explain everything, but even if it's just the tip of the iceberg, it's enough to make me feel chilled."
Ryoko Yakushiji had a frightened expression on her face.
"How to say?"
Yan Kai, who saw Yakushiji Ryoko's expression for the first time, couldn't help but become curious. What kind of sex trafficking group could make even Yakushiji Ryoko feel troublesome?
"Do you know Yoshihara?"
Ryoko Yakushiji asked Yan Kaidao.
Yan Kai nodded.
The legendary No. 1 Hanaryanagi Street in Japan has existed since the Edo period. During this period, there were many fires and many policy reforms. However, Yoshiwara was always able to revive in a short period of time. Until the end of World War II, the Allied Forces Stationed in Japan The commander-in-chief, Emperor Mai, abolished the public prostitution system, and Yoshiwara was truly eliminated.
But Yoshihara died. The word "Yoshihara" is still full of temptation in Japan today. Once they hear "Yoshihara", most men will smile knowingly and have some inexplicable fantasies about Yoshihara.
"According to what the kid said, the sex trafficking syndicate's den is located in Taitung District, underneath Hara Yoshihara... I'll just call it 'Riyoshihara'!"
Yakushiji Ryoko said slowly.
"'Riyoshihara' is built in imitation of the Yoshihara of the Edo period. The buildings inside are all old-style wooden buildings, making people who enter it feel that they have traveled to the Edo period. There, the sky is always dark, and there are only ambiguous lights. , it is a paradise for men, and any man can find the person of his dreams there.”
Yakushiji Ryoko paused: "To put it simply, no matter how weird your sexual fetish is, in 'Riyoshihara', 'Riyoshihara' can satisfy you."
"Such a man's paradise, for a woman...should be no different from hell, right?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Yakushiji Ryoko nodded.
"Not only the architectural style of 'Ri Yoshihara', but also the management of the wandering girls there is the same as the previous Yoshihara. No, the wandering girls in 'Ri Yoshihara' will only be more miserable than the wandering girls in ancient times."
Yakushiji Ryoko's voice was low and authentic.
In the Edo period, there was still a glimmer of hope for Yoshihara's wandering girls, that is, they could retire at the age of twenty-eight. However, in "Riyoshihara", in order to keep the secret of the existence of "Riyoshihara", all the wandering girls only You can work until you die. As long as you enter "Riyoshihara", you should never think about seeing the sun outside.
"Wait, it shouldn't be easy to build such a place, right?"
Yan Kai asked.
Even if it costs money to build such a flower street underground under the original site of Yoshihara, it is simply impossible for no outsider to know about such a large project, unless it is...
"It is indeed not easy, but if you have the support of senior government officials, wouldn't it become easy?"
Yakushiji Ryoko chuckled.
Among the big shots who called to put pressure on Yakushiji Ryoko, there were also several cabinet ministers. Although they said they were speaking to help their friends at the National Police Agency, Yakushiji Ryoko still didn't understand the group of senior cabinet ministers. What is the virtue of being a bastard? If it didn't involve their interests, they would never get involved in this kind of thing.
Not only were the doubts in Yan Kai's mind not resolved by Yakushiji Ryoko's explanation, but they became even more serious.
"Is it worth spending so much money just for some physical enjoyment?"
Yan Kai said doubtfully.
If you just want beauty, Japan's rich and poor women will not be able to prevent those high-ranking officials from looking for women. What kind of women can't be found by those high-ranking officials and dignitaries? Why does it have to be "Riyoshihara"?
Ryoko Yakushiji showed a playful smile, with a "You're still too young" expression on her face: "Why do you think they made a prostitution den look like 'Riyoshihara'?"
"……Why?"
Yan Kai didn't know, so he asked directly.
"Because they want to enjoy the feeling of being above others and being able to trample on others at will."
According to Maslow's five-level theory of needs, human beings' ultimate need is self-realization. But for those powerful people who have stood at the top of Japan, what is their self-realization? It's very simple, just trample on others!
They want to prove that they are superior to others, and they want to prove that everyone except them is as humble as dust.
People's happiness comes from unfairness. For many people, bringing pain to others is the most direct way to improve their own happiness. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many bad boys who enjoy bullying other students.
It's just that in reality, the higher the status of people, the more careful they need to be in what they say and do, because there is a large group of media around them holding magnifying glasses to take pictures of them, but their spiritual needs will not diminish, and may even increase because of The daily depression becomes more and more serious.
So when "Ri Yoshihara", which was completely imitated from the Yoshihara of the Edo period, appeared in front of them, "Ri Yoshihara" became a place where they could place their spirits.
"Let's put it this way, 'Riyoshihara' is no longer a simple sex den, it is a 'paradise' created by Japan's top dignitaries to satisfy their various perverted desires!"
Yakushiji Ryoko said.
If this were not the case, it would be difficult to explain why so many big figures from all walks of life joined forces to put pressure on Ryoko Yakushiji.
For them, the existence of "Ri Yoshihara" can be said to be a necessity. They need the existence of "Ri Yoshihara".
"But 'Riyoshihara' is a completely dangerous existence. As long as its existence is revealed, I don't think anyone will risk the world's disapproval to protect 'Riyoshihara'!"
Yan Kai thought for a while and said.
Regardless of the fact that a lot of people are trying to protect "Riyoshihara" now, once the existence of "Riyoshihara" is exposed, they will definitely be the quickest to abandon the relationship.
After all, if there is no "Riyoshihara", there can be a "new Yoshihara", but if they get into trouble because of the "Riyoshihara" incident, it will be a huge loss.
"Do you think I don't know this?"
Yakushiji Ryoko rolled her eyes and said.
"In fact, after being stopped by the National Police Agency, I secretly asked people from the 'True Selection Team' to go to the place mentioned by the child to re-investigate. There were no problems in the previous investigation. Either there was something wrong with the people sent to investigate, or' Riyoshihara' is hidden in a place that is difficult for others to find."
Yakushiji Ryoko sighed.
A year later, Akechi Kengo's imaginary "Shinsengumi" finally came into being. With the original "Shinsengumi" as the backbone, a large number of disciples from small schools were absorbed, and a samurai police force called the "Shinsengumi" was established. The command of this samurai police force is firmly in the hands of Yakushiji Ryoko, and only Yakushiji Ryoko can command the entire Metropolitan Police Department.
"The member of the 'Shinsengumi' did not disappoint me. He entered the 'Rijihara' along a sewer, but just after he conveyed the existence of 'Rijihara' back, he suddenly lost contact until the first His body was returned to the Metropolitan Police the next day."
Yakushiji Ryoko was silent for a while, and then said: "At that time, at least half of the flesh on his body was missing, and he was cut off piece by piece with a knife."
This matter must have been done by people from "Riyoshihara", and they were not afraid of anyone from the Metropolitan Police knowing about it. They were obviously very confident in their protective umbrella.
Also, there are cabinet ministers under the umbrella of "Riyoshihara", so naturally they can be a little more arrogant.
Yan Kai thought for a while and asked: "The member of the true selection group who was killed is..."
"He is a captain of the 10th division of the 'Shinsengumi', a serious swordsman."
Yakushiji Ryoko replied.
Swordsman...
Yan Kai's expression immediately became serious.
Unlike swordsmen, swordsmen may overturn when they encounter ordinary people with firearms, but swordsmen...
Unless you are a martial artist of the same level, it is difficult to kill a swordsman with only hot weapons. If you can't beat him, can you still run away?
"Did the dead captain of the Shinsengumi have any gunshot wounds?"
Yan Kai asked again.
"No, there are only sword wounds. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that gunshot wounds were on his cut flesh."
Ryoko Yakushiji shook his head.
"You want me to bring the 'Riyoshihara', right? OK, I agree."
The sudden change in Yan Kai's attitude caught Yakushiji Ryoko off guard, and she felt like she was punching the empty space with a fist full of strength.
She knows that Yan Kai is a person who hates trouble very much, so in order to get Yan Kai to agree to her plea, she has been brewing a lot of arguments. Of course, she will also give tangible benefits. , I won’t believe other people’s paintings.
"Why did you agree so readily this time? In the past, you always resisted when I asked you to do something."
Yakushiji Ryoko directly asked the doubts in her heart.
"That's because the things you asked me to help with before were not in my control." Yan Kai paused and then said, "But this time, it's in my control."
Yakushiji Ryoko thought about it for a while and then quickly said: "Because there are martial artists in that prostitution group?"
Her best friend Sakurako Kujo also said after examining the body of the "Shensengumi" captain that although he died of excessive blood loss, he had been injured by a powerful martial artist.
Yan Kai nodded slightly.
The affairs of ordinary people are managed by ordinary people, and the affairs of martial artists are managed by martial artists. Now that a martial artist has committed an offense, Yan Kai will not sit idly by and ignore it.
"Take me to meet that child. I need to know more information about 'Riyoshihara'."
Yan Kai said to Yakushiji Liangzi.
"Of course." Yakushiji Ryoko nodded, "You will need a guide after entering 'Riyoshihara', and there is no more suitable candidate than him."
Yan Kai frowned slightly: "Are you going to let a child get involved in such a dangerous thing?"
Yakushiji Ryoko shook his head and said: "It's not that I want him to be involved, but that he is already in the center of the whirlpool. People from the National Police Agency have asked me for help several times, and I can no longer hold them back. In fact, if you If he comes later, I will have him run away and hide first, and now he is only safe if he stays by your side."
Yakushiji Ryoko didn't tell Yan Kai that because of that child, five waves of killers had come to the Metropolitan Police Department. Three waves were repelled by Kagura, and two by Esdeath. Yakushiji Ryoko didn't even know that before she came While participating in the "Moon Festival", the child was assassinated again.
"I see."
Yan Kai nodded.
Unless "Riyoshihara" is destroyed, those powerful people who want to keep "Riyoshihara" will not stop, and the attacks on that child will never end. In this case, it is better to take him with you and let him be with you. Be a guide.
"Is that kid still in the Metropolitan Police Department?"
Yan Kai asked Yakushiji Ryoko.
"Here, I'll let my friends take care of him for the time being and let Esdeath protect him. There should be no problem."
Yakushiji Ryoko replied.
"Okay, take me to see him immediately."
Yan Kai stood up and said.
"Hey, wait, I haven't eaten yet!"
Yakushiji Ryoko said hurriedly.
For Yakushiji Ryoko, the case is important, but enjoying the food is equally important.
"I don't care about you!"
Yan Kai said calmly.
The corner of Yakushiji Ryoko's mouth twitched, okay, this guy is still a bastard.
…………………………
Regardless of Yakushiji Ryoko's will or not, Yan Kai forced her to come to the Metropolitan Police Department, and also met the child who escaped from "Riyoshihara", Haruta.
Well, he doesn't have a last name, just a first name, because he doesn't know who his parents are.
"Who is the one who calls the shots in 'Riyoshihara'?"
Yan Kai asked as soon as he saw Wen Qingtai.
Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first and capture the king. If you want to use the minimum effort to disintegrate "Riyoshihara", directly kill its leader and make his management fall into chaos. This will save a lot of effort.
Upon hearing Yan Kai ask this question, strong fear flashed in Qingta's eyes.
In "Riyoshihara", there is no one who is not afraid of that person's existence.
"His name is the Night King. He is the king of the night. He usually lives in the highest castle-like house in 'Riyoshihara'."
Haruta said to Yan Kai.
"Yaoh……"
Hearing this title, Yan Kai didn't think much about it, because in Japan, the number one cowherd would also be called "Night King", so it makes sense that the owner of "Li Yoshihara" is called "Night King", after all, he has never Judging from the things they do, the owners of "Riyoshihara" are similar to cowherds, they are both pimps.
