Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 58 5. News and Night
Most of the onlookers were driven away by the scolding of the security team. Although there were still many people hanging in the distance, they were too lazy to pay attention to them.

The scene was quickly cordoned off, and the security team member who arrived at the scene first went into the house with a few people, leaving two people to take the witnesses back to the police station for questioning.

Liu Yuansheng watched from a distance for a while, but not long after, he saw several people who had entered the house walked out with heavy hearts. Then the leader waved his hand, and several people entered the house with stretchers and cleaning tools.

"Captain Zhongtian, are we going to give up on this murder case? The scene hasn't been investigated yet, but you're asking the logistics department to clean up the scene!"

Ichiro Hayakawa clenched his fists and questioned his boss angrily. He couldn't believe why his respected Captain Kenji Nakata decided to end the investigation the moment he saw the body!
As a member of the Hayakawa County Security Force, shouldn't I take it as my responsibility to maintain the security of Hayakawa County? !
Kenji Nakata had a tense face, but the panic in his eyes couldn't help but show. He walked quickly, forcing Ichiro Hayakawa to jog, glaring at Kenji Nakata who, in his eyes, was neglecting his duty.

But when Kenji Nakata heard his question, he wanted to slap him in the face!
It’s absolutely Baga!

Want to find the murderer? What can you use to find him? Your life? !
I told you to explain after returning to the police station! He was so impatient right after leaving the scene! He was not calm at all! Is this the direct descendant of the Hayakawa family? !

The remaining two team members looked at each other, glanced at each other and lowered their heads.

They didn't have the courage of the young master of the Hayakawa family to confront Captain Nakata, but as luck would have it, this young master wanted to put pressure on Captain Nakata through them:
"Uchiyama-kun! Yokota-kun! Tell me! Are we going to let this inhuman guy get away with it?!"

“Ah…this…this…” Uchiyamada was caught off guard when his name was called. He glanced cautiously at Kenji Nakata who had a gloomy face, then lowered his head and stammered.

"Hayakawa-kun... Captain Nakata is also very thoughtful. Otherwise... let's just obey Captain Nakata's orders and go back to the police station..."

Goro Yokota secretly glanced at Kenji Nakata, then looked at Ichiro Hayakawa and said with a silly smile.

He had been working at the bottom of the police station for more than two years. Although his position had not been promoted and he was still a small patrolman, it did not prevent him from making the most correct choice at this time.

In his two-year career, he had only seen one murder scene like today, and that case became an eternal nightmare in his heart.

"you!"

Seeing this, Ichiro Hayakawa pointed at Yokota and Uchiyama angrily, and finally, as if he was so angry that he snorted coldly.

"A bunch of cowardly rats!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kenji Nakata's face darkened and his feet paused. Ichiro Hayakawa almost didn't react and almost bumped into Kenji Nakata's back.

The sudden change made Ichiro Hayakawa's face change and he glared at Kenji Nakata.

Are you trying to intimidate me?! Humph! Men of the Hayakawa family are never afraid of challenges!
Nakada Kenji didn't want to argue with this "Bakayarō". He just sneered and said calmly:

"If Master Hayakawa insists on investigating, I will not stop him, but please inform Director Hayakawa first."

After saying this, he started walking away without waiting for Hayakawa Ichiro to react. Yokota Goro turned around, smiled apologetically, and then followed him.

Uchiyama Yamato looked around in confusion, gritted his teeth, and followed Nakata Kenji.

Seeing this, Hayakawa Ichiro angrily cursed in a low voice: "How can you repair it! A bunch of rats!"

……

Here, Liu Yuansheng found a popular izakaya on the street, lifted the door cloth and went in.

After ordering some yakitori and a large glass of beer, he sat down and started eating.

The murder had only happened for less than half a day when the news reached the pub.

"Hey! Have you heard? The Shimada family of four were all killed!"

A man with a flushed face, holding a half-full glass of wine in his hand, leaned his head to both sides and whispered.

"real or fake?!"

"What? Is it the Shimada family with two children?!"

"Mojitsu (Of course)! It's the Shimada family with two kids!"

"Hi~"

The men took a deep breath after receiving the affirmation.

"Humph! Our Hayakawa County Security Team is just a bunch of losers! They're eating our hard-earned tax dollars, yet things like this still happen!"

"Hey! Hirano, you can't say that! I heard that people often go missing in the neighboring Yamanashi Prefecture! The next day, someone found a dead body eaten by wild animals in the wild! And this happens again and again!"

“Is this true? Something like this happened in Yamanashi Prefecture?!”

"Of course it's true! My sister married in Yamanashi Prefecture! She wrote recently that even families who used to go into the mountains to chop wood and make charcoal are afraid to go in now!"

"Even if it's a wild beast, if it threatens our safety, we should take action! But the guys in Yamanashi Prefecture are all hiding in the prefecture! They simply don't take us seriously! How can we repair it! These bastards!"

"Yes! Hirano is right! Let's do it!"

"drink!"

"Go one!"

Liu Yuansheng, who was sitting next to this group of people and leisurely eating yakitori, quietly listened to their conversation.

It is almost certain whether there are ghosts in Yamanashi Prefecture, and since even Hayakawa Prefecture knows the news, it should not be long before the Demon Slayer Corps finds out.

So now he has two choices. Either hurry to Yamanashi Prefecture and wait for the Demon Slayer Corps to kill the demons, and take this opportunity to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

Or he could just sit and wait in Hayakawa County. Liu Yuansheng estimated that the murder that just happened was most likely done by a cannibal.

But after careful consideration, Liu Yuansheng ruled out the first option.

Because as far as he knew, Yamanashi Prefecture was northeast of Hayakawa Prefecture. Although the straight-line distance was not far, it was separated by nearly three mountains. It would take at least a day to get there. If he went there in the morning, it would probably be dark before he reached Yamanashi Prefecture. Not to mention the possibility of missing the Demon Slayer Corps, if he encountered a demon on the way, it was still a question whether he could protect himself, not to mention Saeko and Shizuka.

So, we can only wait and see.

Liu Yuansheng continued to listen for a while, but the guest next door did not reveal any key information, so he prepared to get up and leave.

He drank the beer in one gulp, left a few pieces of yakitori uneaten, and chose to leave.

It was so disgusting, the chicken had an earthy smell, and Saeko and Shizuka wouldn't eat it even if I brought it back.

……

night.

The bright moonlight shone on the courtyard of the mansion.

The surface of the pond was shimmering, and a few bright red carps could be vaguely seen.

At this time, the sky was not yet covered by haze. Although it was dark at night, the brightness of the environment was no different from that during the day.

After dinner, the three of them washed up and prepared to go back to their room to sleep.

"I turned off the lights."

Busujima Saeko pulled the cotton string tied to the overhead light fixture.

With a click, the room went dark.

Liu Yuansheng placed his and Saeko's knives above his head where they were easy to reach, and then lay down.

"Genji, I didn't expect that this is really the Taisho era! I didn't expect the Taisho era to be like this!" As soon as she lay down on the futon, Shizuka Marikawa couldn't help but feel excited.

"How did that door get us here?"

Liu Yuansheng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... it's divine power?"

Marikawa Shizuka blinked, thought about it seriously, and then crossed her fingers and put them under her chin with a pious look:
"Ah~ Kamisama, please protect Minamoto-kun, Saeko, and me from any danger."

Busujima Saeko covered her lips lightly and chuckled:
"Teacher Shizuka is so pious, Kamisama will definitely bless her."

"Right! I think so too."

Shizuka Marikawa clenched her fist and nodded in agreement.

But the next second, Liu Yuansheng's voice suddenly sounded:

"But since there are gods, there should also be ghosts..."

"what!"

Marikawa Shizuka was startled, looked at Liu Yuansheng with resentment, and said coquettishly:

"Gen-kun! Don't scare me! It's so hard for me to stop thinking about this!"

"Then go to bed early, then you won't be afraid."

Busujima Saeko's voice sounded from the side with a hint of laughter.

"Yada! If Yuanjun scares me, you have to be responsible for making me sleep!"

"You're 27 years old, why are you still acting like a child?"

"Ah! Don't say that!"

Marukawa Shizuka was so angry that she rushed into Liu Yuansheng's bed and bit Liu Yuansheng's shoulder. Age has always been her weakness. After all, strictly speaking, she is Liu Yuansheng's teacher, 9 years older than Liu Yuansheng!
Liu Yuansheng had no choice but to hug Marikawa Shizuka's waist and stroke her smooth back.

"Don't be angry. Although Shizuka is 27 years old, she is much prettier than those 18-year-old girls."

"Yuan-kun!"

Shizuka Marikawa looked up and glared at Yuansheng Liu.

Instead, Liu Yuansheng looked at her face with a smile, and his palm unconsciously touched her cheek and pinched it seriously.

Feeling the warmth from Liu Yuansheng's palm, Marikawa Shizuka pursed her lips, and her anger immediately disappeared.

"If even God can allow us to travel through the world, then staying young forever must be even easier."

Marikawa Shizuka's eyes lit up, but unexpectedly, Liu Yuansheng smiled mischievously:
"So, I will make my Shizuka always eighteen...oh no...twenty-seven."

"Ah! You said it again! You said it again! I'm ignoring you!"

After saying this, Shizuka Marikawa was about to turn around angrily.

Liu Yuansheng smiled, turned Marikawa Shizuka over easily, kissed Marikawa Shizuka's lips, then lowered his head and whispered:
"Okay, no more talking, go to sleep."

Liu Yuansheng put his left hand around Marikawa Shizuka's plump waist and held her in his arms, so Marikawa Shizuka's soft and full breasts could only rest on Liu Yuansheng's chest.

But the next second, Marikawa Shizuka's pretty face turned red, and she glared at Liu Yuansheng coquettishly, then got into the bed. The quilt that just covered her body bulged up a little, and then began to move up and down.

Seeing this scene, Busujima Saeko sighed silently, turned over, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
