The Yokota residence was not far from the dojo of Kamiizumi Hidekawa. It was almost noon now and the rush hour had been staggered, so the train was not crowded. It didn't take long for Uesugi Kiyoshi and Nohara Anko to arrive at the Yokota residence's apartment.
Going upstairs, at the door of Yokota's house, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw a middle-aged man in a suit leaning against the windowsill smoking. Although he was dressed quite formally, he was also quite sloppy. The suit should not have been washed for several days. His face was also untidy, and he looked a bit vicissitudes of life and exhausted.
He was wearing a civil servant badge, so he was most likely a policeman when he showed up here at this time. Moreover, he was obviously a "pragmatic" policeman, perhaps from the non-professional group. The elites in the professional group would not be so unkempt.
The man in the suit frowned when he saw Uesugi Kiyoshi leading Nohara Anko towards them, then put out his cigarette with some reluctance and threw it into the trash can in the corridor. This action made Uesugi Kiyoshi think of him more highly. He liked people who cared about others. Smoking in front of minors was not a good habit.
The man in the suit spoke before Uesugi Kiyoshi came closer. His voice was hoarse, but not unpleasant, a deep bass.
"You must be Uesugi-kun, right? I'm Miyakawa Isamu, and I've been waiting for a long time. This is for you."
Miyakawa Isamu handed over a bunch of keys. These were the keys to Yokota's house. Yesterday, Nohara Anko's keys were taken away by the police. Without these keys, they couldn't get in the house at all.
"The scene has been cleaned up, and the valuable evidence has been collected by my colleagues, but we haven't touched the irrelevant things. You can go in now."
"I must remind you that if you have anything, you'd better take it away quickly. This apartment is not Yokotano's property, it's just his rental. At the end of the month, if you can't pay the rent, the landlord will probably come to take the house back. But the things inside all belong to Yokotano, you can pick and choose and take them away."
"Is the girl behind you Yokotano's niece?" (Nieh and niece are the same word in Japanese)
"You can take him to a lawyer someday to handle the formalities. Logically, she can inherit Yokotano's estate, but there's nothing valuable there. Yokotano seems to have believed in some strange sect, and he squandered all his life savings."
Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't care much about this. If he chose to join a supernatural organization, he would not be short of money, and he would not covet the money of dead people.
He was just about to bow to express his gratitude - this was a necessary courtesy. It was not easy for the other party to come all the way in the rain.
Before he could finish his words of thanks, he was interrupted by Miyakawa Isamu.
"You killed Uesugi-kun Yokotano?"
The smile on Uesugi Kiyoshi's face gradually disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and did not answer Miyagawa Isamu's words. Instead, he stuffed the key into Nohara Anko's hand.
"Xingzi, go pack your things. Just take the daily necessities you think are necessary. If you need anything, we will go buy it together."
Nohara Anko obeyed Uesugi Kiyoshi's words. She felt that the atmosphere was not right and did not want to cause trouble for Uesugi Kiyoshi, so she lowered her head and walked into the gate of Yokota's house first.
Only after the door of Yokota's house was gently closed did Uesugi Kiyoshi speak again.
His tone was a little indifferent, his voice emotionless.
"Miyagawa-san, this case should have been closed. I was acting in self-defense, and I am not the murderer of Yokotano. Didn't Inspector Akutagawa of the Metropolitan Police Department tell you that?"
The corners of Miyakawa Yong's mouth gradually curved into an arc with obvious sarcasm. He coughed twice, leaned against the windowsill, looked at the rain outside the window, and his eyes became somewhat contemptuous.
"Inspector Akutagawa? Huh."
"The idealistic kid from the Collectibles Association actually managed to get a police inspector's license. How can I put it? This is the social status quo in Japan. It's good to be rich and powerful."
After saying this, Uesugi Kiyoshi took off the sword bag that had been on his back, held it with his left hand, and his eyes became sharp.
Miyagawa Isamu seemed to be an impatient person and did not care about Uesugi Kiyoshi's hostility.
"Don't be so nervous, Uesugi-kun. I took the Shinkansen for three and a half hours from Kyoto to Tokyo, not to fight with you."
"Uesugi-kun, although I don't hold out much hope, I'll still ask you, would you consider joining the Shinsengumi?"
As these words flashed through Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind, he had already guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
A lobbyist for the Shinsengumi?
The Shinsengumi in Japanese history was indeed a police organization, and it is not surprising that members of the Shinsengumi today serve in the police force.
Uesugi Kiyoshi did not let his guard down. He still held the wooden sword tightly, and his tone was as calm as ever.
"Miyagawa-san, has anyone ever told you that you're a bad lobbyist?"
These words made Miyakawa Isamu's mouth curl up a little.
He nodded gently.
"Yes, there are many."
"Not only that, some people say I'm a bad policeman, a bad swordsman, and a bad leader."
"But to this day, many people who said that can no longer even see my back, but I haven't stopped moving forward."
"Uesugi-kun, in this era, the art of speaking is not a very important talent."
Miyagawa Yuu pointed at Uesugi Kiyoshi's wooden sword with a meaningful look.
"That's it!"
After saying that, Miyakawa Isamu stretched lazily out of boredom, put his hands in his pockets, and walked lazily towards the corridor entrance.
"From your expression, I know you refused. It seems that you prefer those idealists who gather together?"
"Hey, young man."
He didn't even say a word of persuasion, he just turned around and left.
This was somewhat beyond Uesugi Kiyoshi's expectations. He had already prepared himself to refuse - since his master didn't join the Shinsengumi, there must be a reason for his master, and he, as his apprentice, planned to follow suit.
He thought about it, turned around and asked.
"So, Miyagawa-san, you came all the way from Kyoto just to ask me this?"
Miyakawa Yong didn't turn around, but shrugged and sighed, "That's about right. I asked you a question symbolically and then looked at you."
"Look at what my future eyesore will look like."
Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little confused.
"Miyagawa-san, do I have a grudge against you? Or is it that the Collectibles Association and the Shinsengumi are already in a life-and-death relationship?"
Miyakawa Yong paused, remained silent for a few seconds, and shook his head slightly.
"No, it's a private matter."
"I have a grudge against Kamiizumi Hidekawa. If I kill Kamiizumi Hidekawa in the future, then the revenge for killing my master will most likely fall on you. So I came to see you in advance so that I can have a better idea of what to do."
Uesugi Kiyoshi's face solemnly gathered strength in his hands, and even the Hundred Tales Cards were ready. As long as Miyakawa Isami made the slightest movement, he would give him a thundering blow.
"Then Miyakawa-san, don't you plan to strike first and eliminate future troubles?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was somewhat solemn, his palms were sweating, and he was unusually nervous. The aura of Miyagawa Isami just now inexplicably reminded him of his master when he had fought with him.
It's like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its edge.
This is probably a top swordsman who is known as a swordsman. Since he is a member of the Shinsengumi, he should also be an extraordinary person.
Miyakawa Isamu had no intention of taking action, nor did he even have any hostility or murderous intent. He just walked away leisurely, and only a low voice was heard.
"Everything has its own cause. I have a grudge against Kamiizumi Hidekawa. It has nothing to do with you now. If you want to fight me, you can do that after I kill Kamiizumi Hidekawa."
"Everything in this world must be in order and abide by rules, and the same applies to seeking revenge."
"Otherwise, the world will be in chaos."
"If I attack you now, it would be a crime. I am a policeman, Uesugi-kun, and I will not break the law knowingly."
Uesugi Kiyoshi heard this and was somewhat disapproving.
"Miyagawa-san, isn't it illegal to provoke and seek revenge on my master?"
He subconsciously retorted, but got no response. Uesugi Kiyoshi held his breath and concentrated, and only when he heard Miyagawa Isami's footsteps gradually fading away did he feel relieved, because he had really gone far away.
This is really
Strange person!
Chapter 50 Dongwen Society
Miyagawa Isami did not turn around to cause trouble, and Uesugi Kiyoshi did not get involved either. After Nohara Anko packed up her things, they hurriedly left the Yokota residence.
After moving Nohara Anko's luggage to his apartment, they prepared to buy some daily necessities, tableware, and seasonings - Nohara Anko insisted on being responsible for Uesugi Kiyoshi's three meals a day, and Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't persuade her, so he agreed.
It is particularly troublesome to do things on rainy days, and this little task is enough to keep them busy for a whole day.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Uesugi Kiyomasa was happily shopping with Nohara Anko in the supermarket.
On the other side of Tokyo, Shinjuku.
Although it was still early, neon lights were already flashing on the streets of Shinjuku.
Shinjuku was a famous red-light district in the Edo period. Today, Japan's most famous Kabukicho is located east of Shinjuku Station.
The city that never sleeps with its bright lights and wine, the land of romance and love, it is a man's paradise.
This kind of place is full of good and bad people, and it is also the base camp of many Tokyo gangs.
There are 29 underworld organizations in Tokyo, large and small. Among them, there are three that are really powerful and have divided up all the gray industries in Tokyo.
Kowloon Group, Eastern Cultural Association, Kanto United Society.
The headquarters of the Touwenkai is located east of Shinjuku Station.
This is a Japanese-style garden covering a very large area. In Shinjuku, the value of land of the same size would be measured in billions or even tens of billions.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see fine sand and gravel paved along the winding path. The shapes of these fine sands are very charming, like flowing water ripples. Surrounding them are some dry mosses and unknown short plants, giving people a unique sense of beauty and tranquility.
This is a "dry landscape" garden created by a famous artist.
Going further in, the landscape turned into bamboo and thin trees, and there were also heavily guarded men in black suits patrolling, making it look a bit like a gang headquarters.
This courtyard is extremely quiet, profound, and somewhat simple. Rather than the residence of a Jidao leader, it looks more like the residence of a Zen monk.
The leader of the Dongwenkai, the most legendary figure in the Tokyo Yakuzoku in the past hundred years, a hero who started from scratch and rose to the pinnacle of power, Dongwen Jue, lives here.
In a study room in the courtyard, Dong Wenjue was sitting behind a desk. This big shot, whose stomping of his feet could send shockwaves through the Tokyo underworld, had a thick beard, which made his serious face look even more majestic. He looked to be in his forties, but his actual age was much older than he looked.
But at this moment, compared to the powerful "Dongwen Snake", Dong Wenjue was more like an ordinary old man. His face was full of tenderness as he stared at the beautiful figure in front of him and kept listening to what she was narrating.
The person in front of Dong Wenjue is his only daughter, the "young master" of Dong Wenhui, and the heir to one-third of the Dark Night Empire in Tokyo - Dong Wen Maki.
This "young master" does not mean "children of the leader", but a title in the underworld, representing "the first heir of the leader".
If nothing unexpected happens, a hundred years after Touwen Jue, Touwen Maki will take charge of the Touwen Association and become one of the most powerful people in Tokyo.
Maki Touwen was wearing a cherry-colored furisode kimono. The furisode was not formal and did not have the family crest, but there was an ink-colored Chinese character "Tou" embroidered on the sleeve, which was the logo of the Touwenkai.
She was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old, taller than her peers, with picturesque features and light makeup, which brought out her delicate features. She had a very traditional Japanese beauty face, and a pair of gorgeous crimson pupils, which made her beauty even more enchanting.
This is a Japanese beauty whose every move is impeccable. She has a beautiful face, but actually, if you look closely, she looks a bit awe-inspiring. Rather than "pretty", it would be more appropriate to describe her as "handsome".
She was holding a sheathed samurai sword tightly in her arms. Her expression was a little serious at the moment, and she was arguing with her father about something.
"Okay, Maki, I understand what you mean."
