Uesugi Kiyoto was stunned.

If you have the guts, don’t become a policeman!

Do I look that scary?

He ignored the policewoman, took a step forward, bent down carefully, picked up the head by the hair, and looked at it carefully.

Don't let this coward trample this man's face. He will continue to follow the clues to find out who wants to take his life.

This scene was even more horrifying in the eyes of the female police officer and the surrounding police officers.

Where did this perverted murderer come from? !

Covered in blood, he looked into the eyes of a human head affectionately!

Soon, the police came to their senses and surrounded Uesugi Kiyoshi. He didn't look like a normal person at all, so they arrested him first.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned, looked around, touched his trouser pocket, and his face froze.

It seems you didn’t bring your cell phone?

Gee.

Are you going to be invited to eat pork chop rice again?

This matter could be resolved by calling Akutagawa Ryunosuke or calling Master's friend. It was obvious that mystics were involved in this drama, and it was beyond the police's reach.

Just when he thought things were getting tough, half of a young man's body popped out from the alley where his apartment was not far away.

"What are you doing?"

"Go, go, go, everyone, go to work, don't be lazy."

"Hurry up and clean up this area. Go back and report it as a gang fight. I've already informed the authorities. Otherwise, if someone tells the reporters about it and it's in the papers tomorrow, you'll all be scolded by your bosses!"

"."

"What are you standing there for? Are you deaf?!" The young man in Haicheng High School uniform was holding a black umbrella and giving orders loudly. The policemen followed his orders and quickly turned a blind eye to Uesugi Kiyoshi and continued to clean up the mess.

Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, his lips curled up into a faint smile, and he quickly walked into the alley with his spoils in hand at the man's beckoning.

The alley where his house was located had been blocked off, with police standing guard at both ends of the street to prevent pedestrians from approaching. Those busy in the alley were not policemen, but several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes. They were dealing with the bodies of the men in black suits on the ground very skillfully. As for the bodies of Kuki Ao and Kuki Aka, several people in white coats, who were either doctors or scientists, had gathered around them and formed a small circle, discussing them in heated words.

"Why, Master Kudo is out on a field trip in person? I was wondering why you sometimes just disappeared after school. So you have this hobby?"

Standing there, holding an umbrella in the rain, was Uesugi Kiyoshi’s good friend, collector from the Collectibles Association, and “detective” Kudo Yuichi.

He is the one who connects to the soul of Edogawa Ranpo and is said to possess an ability called "super reasoning."

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi's words contained some joking elements, there was no sense of alienation in them. Although he knew Kudo Yuichi's identity, he had no intention of holding any grudge against this friend because of it.

Kudo Yuichi sighed, but with a smile on his face. He walked forward a few steps, stood side by side with Uesugi Kiyoshi, held the umbrella over their heads, shook his head, and looked helpless.

"I didn't want to come originally. I seldom go out on field trips."

"The Arakawa Police Station received a report fifteen minutes ago. At the same time, our field agents also issued a regional disaster alert. After communicating with the police, our Collectibles Association has temporarily taken over the case."

"I received the notification and saw that the location was near your home. I felt something was wrong, so I rushed over to take a look."

"I didn't expect to run into him - you killed that big guy with a single blow, didn't you? What's going on with this thing in your hand and the corpses on the ground?"

Kudo Yuichi pursed his lips at the bloody head in Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand and explained.

Uesugi Kiyoshi walked a few steps with Kudo Yuichi and found a roof to shelter from the rain. He shrugged and said meaningfully, "I heard that you have an extraordinary ability."

"Can you give me some reasoning?"

Kudo Yuichi frowned slightly and cursed under his breath.

"Akutagawa is that bastard who talks too much again."

He looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's expectant eyes, raised his hand to touch his smooth chin, and said thoughtfully: "Okay, okay."

"Things like this are not enough for me to use my abilities."

"Qing, the so-called reasoning is not difficult. As long as there is sufficient intelligence, that is, sufficient clues, through simple logic and elimination, we can get a very accurate truth."

"For me, the process of reasoning out the truth is not important; that's just the basis."

Kudo Yuichi took a deep breath, and a somewhat neurotic smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"It is more enjoyable for me to explore the motives behind the crimes and understand the evil and desires that encourage humans to kill their own kind than to simply reason. "

"The flower of evil that leads people to hell is the most brilliant color."

"."

"The car parked on the street is the car of the eldest lady of the Dongwen Society. There have been many unusual movements in the Dongwen Society recently. The field agents in Shinjuku have to report every two hours. Yesterday, the Dongwen Society's Wakato Touwenyu privately held a cadre meeting. The Dongwen Society cadres who participated in the meeting have not shown up so far. They are either dead or under house arrest. It is also possible that they have already turned to Touwenyu."

"The Dongwen Wolf is ambitious and will not yield to others. Dongwen Jue, the president of the Dongwen Association, is determined to pass the position of the second generation leader to his only daughter, Dongwen Maki. This is the fuse. The Dongwen Association has been undercurrent for a long time and it is not peaceful!"

"We have found out the identities of those in black suits. They are the fighting faction of the Double Ghost Group under Dong Wenyu, led by the Nine Ghosts. We detected strong ghost power residues in the Nine Ghosts. We can conclude that they have been transformed into mystics. It is also possible that ghosts and gods took the opportunity to possess their bodies. The researchers are still arguing over the result."

"The last clue is that your master, Mr. Shangquan Xiuchuan, has a good relationship with Dong Wenjue of Dongwenhui. It is said that Dong Wenjue used all the strength of Dongwenhui to help Shangquan Jianhao a lot."

Kudo Yuichi stretched out his left hand and drew a circle.

“This is intelligence.”

He then stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Then through simple logical concatenation, we can get the result."

"The eldest daughter of the Dongwen Society was traveling for something. When she was walking near your apartment in Arakawa District, she was ambushed by Dongwen Yu. When you saw that she was the daughter of your master's friend, you helped her and easily killed the nine ghost brothers who had become extraordinary people."

What Kudo Yuichi said was a bit brief, but it was pretty close to the truth.

He stared at Uesugi Kiyoshi's tattered sportswear for a few seconds, then continued to speak with a look of surprise.

"I found traces of bullets on the wall of the apartment. After a simple identification, the field agents determined that it was a modified 14.9mm caliber anti-material sniper armor-piercing bullet. They opened fire."

"Your clothes are so tattered and there are burn marks on the edges, it looks like you were shot. Plus, you came back from outside with a head in your hand that you refused to give up."

"You were shot and then went to kill the shooter?"

"You know that this sniper is not from the Kuki Group, so you suspect that they have external aid. Do you want to find out the enemy's identity through this person's appearance?"

"hiss"

"Are all you sword practitioners so perverted? You were shot by a sniper rifle, but you can still go and seek revenge without any harm?"

When Kudo Yuichi finished speaking, he looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi as if he was a monster.

Some extraordinary people may not be afraid of bullets - such as Hidekawa Kamiizumi. Kudo Yuichi knows the deeds of that swordsman. If the swordsman Kamiizumi is prepared, he can probably cut it in half with one sword.

However, being able to split or dodge a bullet and being hit by a large-caliber armor-piercing bullet without any harm are two completely different concepts!

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded somewhat convinced, acknowledging Kudo Yuichi's judgment, and said with a smile: "Excellent, excellent, you are worthy of it."

"That's about it. I'm quite gifted, so I survived by chance."

"Well, you came at the right time. I need your help with something. Can you find someone to help me check the identity of this person?"

Kudo Yuichi tilted his head and looked at the head again, raised his eyebrows, reached out to take it, touched the man's cheek without hesitation, pulled his ears hard, and finally called a field agent from the Collectibles Association to take the head away first.

After washing his hands with the rainwater and shaking off the water droplets, Kudo Yuichi said confidently, "No need to bother checking. This person is an important person. I know him."

"Yuan Longsen, the younger brother of Yuan Longhai, one of the nine dragons of the Kowloon Group, is a killer. He has no extraordinary abilities, but specializes in long-range sniping. He is notorious in the underworld of Tokyo. With his long-range precision sniping, he has killed dozens of extraordinary people. He is a powerful and annoying character."

"He is the most powerful killer in Yuanlonghai's Yuanhui. He can collude with the Shuanggui Group. I guess Dong Wenyu is already in cahoots with Yuanhui."

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt that things were becoming troublesome again, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Kowloon Group?"

"The biggest gang in Tokyo, the ruler of the Dark Night Empire, the leader of the underworld formed by the union of nine large gangs, the Kowloon Group?"

He had been searching for news about the Dongwen Society online these days, and had gained some understanding of the underworld forces in Tokyo, so he was not completely clueless.

"Yes, it's them."

Kudo Yuichi's face didn't look good either.

"So the Kowloon Group intends to support Dong Wenyu and take action against Dong Wenjue?"

"If I want to avenge this shooting, do I have to become an enemy of the entire Kowloon Group?!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone was a little gloomy. He was quite vindictive. This was a life-and-death vengeance that almost cost him his life, and he didn't want to let it go just like that.

Kudo Yuichi waved his hand solemnly.

"That's not the case"

"You probably don't know, Qing, that the Yakuza forces in Tokyo are actually quite complicated and not that simple."

"Basically, the Kowloon Group, the Dongwen Society, and the Kanto United divide the world into three parts. Among them, the Kanto United has been clinging to the thigh of a certain big chaebol in recent years. It has basically been cleaned up and faded out of the ranks of gangs."

"Although the Kowloon Group is also a new organization, it is considered the most [orthodox] gang. The nine groups of the Kowloon Association have inherited most of the foundation of the Japanese gangs."

"If we go back 20 years, the Kowloon Group had not yet been established. At that time, the three gangs that dominated Japan were the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Sumiyoshi-kai, and the Inagawa-kai."

"They started their business during the post-war depression, and their capital grew larger and larger. At one point, they were able to manipulate the elections of members of parliament. They were extremely powerful in Japan and became a stumbling block in the eyes of capitalists and politicians."

"Later, as the economy recovered, politicians and tycoons gained more and more control over the country. Naturally, they could not tolerate their cake being divided up by these Yakuza - they could drink soup, but not meat."

"So, the government and the chaebols at the time reached a consensus and took action against the gangs together. Laws specifically targeting gangs, such as the [Anti-Yao Gang Law], were introduced one after another, and major chaebols also took action to squeeze out the gangs' legitimate businesses."

"On the other hand, these politicians have also very shrewdly adopted the policy of fighting violence with violence - they want to support an obedient gang to deal with those disobedient violent groups, using a two-pronged approach to completely turn the gangs into obedient dogs under their hands, rather than wolves that are waiting for them."

"Well, you should be familiar with the gang they support. It is the Dongwen Society that was established not long ago. This is also an important reason why Dongwen Jue was able to start from scratch. The best thing this Dongwen snake is good at in his life is to take advantage of the situation!"

"He is an expert at using a knife to kill someone."

"They used the government's cover to compete with the gangs for food. When they were fat and strong, they nurtured the gangs and focused on gathering their own forces, forming a delicate balance of power. In the end, the one who benefited the most from it was Dong Wenjue."

Kudo Yuichi's expression was somewhat admiring, and he seemed to admire Dong Wenjue very much.

Uesugi Kiyoshi also felt his blood boiling after hearing this. Although it was simply said, being able to survive in the cracks between the government, the consortium and the yakuza, and building up a large gang that ranks among the best in Tokyo, is not just a matter of being good at dancing with the sleeves.

This is definitely a tyrant with a keen sense of smell, shrewdness, and iron-blooded tactics.

"The rapid growth of the Dongwen Association and the oppression from all sides by the government and financial groups have dealt a heavy blow to the gangs."

"At that time, the Yamaguchi-gumi in Kansai, the Sumiyoshi-kai and the Inagawa-kai in Kanto were all a little out of breath. They agreed on a time and place for a three-party meeting, and decided to unite and form an alliance to deal with the pressure from all sides."

"It's a good idea, but they think too simply about human nature."

Kudo Yuichi sneered, and his eyes became disapproving.
