Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

The man with gray hair and beard also opened his eyes at this time, smiled, and nodded in response, "Yes, Miss Miyazono has a very good talent for the violin. I was not even as good as her when I was her age. But with just two hours of instruction, she has already understood my years of research on the violin. The rest is just practice."

"But I still have to thank you, Master Pagani. The reward has been sent to your residence. We'll take our leave first," Li Xuan hugged Gong Yuan Xun who jumped off the stage and rushed towards him, turned around and spoke to Pagani.

"It's just an equal exchange. I'll take my leave now," Pagani left the concert hall with a smile on his face.

Li Xuan put Gong Yuanxun down, thought for a while and said, "Well, it's time for us to leave."

"What the hell, Xuanjun, since we're already in England and considering the time, even if we go back to Rizhaoju now, it will be late at night. Why don't we take a walk around the area? Mary just told me that there have been rumors of ghosts from a hundred years ago appearing near the Thames River," the four people in the garden crossed their hands and made their suggestions with interest.

Among them, Sonoko is the one who makes suggestions. Although Xiaolan is very strong in fighting, she is actually a little timid. Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura are just two good sisters who accompany her.

As for the ghost rumor that Olga Marie mentioned, it was an incident that happened a hundred years ago during the Steam Era, about a man who killed five pimp women and managed to escape capture.

Jack the Ripper!

Chapter 325 Jack the Ripper

In fact, Jack the Ripper was just a nickname given by people at that time.

The people he killed were also women working in the pimp industry, and they wrote letters to challenge the police station at the time. In the end, the British police even screened the suspects and selected the ten most likely suspects, and Jack the Ripper was in the top three. However, the insufficient level of technology at the time led to the failure of evidence and accusation. Jack the Ripper eventually escaped arrest and was not caught until decades later using new technology.

However, because the murderer has been suffering from mental illness, there are still minor problems with the results obtained using DNA technology.

And the murderer died more than ten years later.

But just a while ago, a case of brutal murder of women occurred in a slum neighborhood near the Thames River. After comparison, it was found that the method used by the murdered women was exactly the same as that of Jack the Ripper two hundred years ago.

At first, some people thought that the murderer was imitating Jack the Ripper's method of committing crimes, but later witnesses said that they saw the murderer turn into a puff of black smoke and disappear after killing someone.

In addition, the police in London had not made any progress, so the news that Jack the Ripper's ghost had been resurrected began to spread.

Because of Kidd's matter, Yuanzi learned boxing and kicking from Li Xuan for a few days, and also took the initiative to practice the methods that Li Xuan obtained from the Origin Taoist Scripture for a few days. She now feels that she is terribly strong and urgently needs someone to be beaten to consolidate her confidence.

As for why he didn't look for Li Xuan and Asuna.

That was because he was unable to defeat Li Xuan, and after losing, he was taught a lesson in both forehand and backhand, and received training in the maintenance of sniper rifles.

Asuna and the others were unable to use their full strength, after all, they did not want to hurt each other.

Now knowing that there was such a cruel criminal, and that he was Jack the Ripper who was very famous here two hundred years ago, Yuanzi immediately found a suitable sandbag.

"Mr. Xuan, after we find Jack the Ripper, let me defeat him and you will be the raiders." In order to ensure that her man would not disturb her, Yuanzi put her arms around Li Xuan's neck, raised her head and expressed her gratitude in advance.

After receiving Yuanzi's thank-you gift, Li Xuan said it was very nice.

Led by Olga Marie, the six people came to the place where the most recent murder occurred. Miyazono Kaoru and Xiaolan hugged Li Xuan's arms on the left and right, showing very cautious expressions. They were not as bold as Sonoko and the Toosaka sisters. It was safest to stay with their men.

Li Xuan put his arms around their slender waists, held their hands, and gave them a reassuring look.

When we arrived at the crime scene, we could still vaguely see traces left by the police.

"Where should I start the investigation?" After thinking for a while without any clues, Sonoko's previous momentum of hard work came to an end and she fell into a dilemma.

But at this time Toosaka Rin came to her rescue, "Sonoko, I just learned gem magic from Gem Master, which includes a tracking magic and a trace revealing magic. Let me try it. Sakura, you use the trace revealing magic and I'll use the tracking."

"Okay, sister, the gem appears," Toosaka Sakura nodded, took out a gem the size of her little finger, and then recited a spell. The purple internal energy arranged symbols on the gem along with the spell.

"Wow", like the sound of wind blowing down a cardboard box, the last symbol of the gem in Sakura Toosaka's hand appeared, and a ray of light appeared, like a scan, sweeping through the traces left by the police, and then, a dozen auras appeared in the void.

Among them, one is black, one is red, and the rest are blue.

The blue ones are the people the police were investigating here that day, the red ones are the victims, and the black ones are another person who was here that day.

"Sister," Toosaka Sakura called Toosaka Rin.

"OK, watch me, gem pursuit", Toosaka Rin also took out a gem the size of her little finger, chanted a spell, and a blue inner energy light appeared, clearing mine runes in the air, sucking in the black energy in the void, and then turned into a pointer shape.

"Found it, and the target is still there," Toosaka Rin just compared it and immediately gave her conclusion.

When Sonoko heard what Toosaka Rin said, her face lit up with joy and she quickly walked over and said, "Rin, where are you? Let's go over there."

Toosaka Rin showed the gem on her hand, and the pointer pattern on it was pointing in one direction. "This is the gem pursuit. Before my internal energy dissipates, it will keep pointing at the target that left the black gas, and it will issue a warning when it reaches the vicinity of the target."

Following the guidance of the pointer, several people tracked the trail and after going around several streets, they came to the place where the pointer suddenly shook. The shaking of the pointer was a warning from it.

"Hmm? Looking carefully here, it seems to be the other side of our starting point just now?" Yuanzi saw that some of the buildings around him looked familiar. Then he looked around and found that no one noticed. He jumped up about ten meters and saw the situation nearby.

Toosaka Rin looked at the gemstone pointer in her hand and explained, "If the black aura is the murderer, then it means that he has passed through the places we just walked, and finally stopped here, and is still here now."

"Astral Declaration," Olga Marie suddenly drew a few mysterious runes in the void, and then an interlaced light net appeared like the stars in the sky, flying towards the place where she felt something was wrong.

"Hehehe, hehehehe", ordinary people heard the sound of hair standing on end coming from the place where Olga Marie's astral declaration flew, and then a pair of large scissors appeared from the darkness and blocked the light net.

"Hey~~, this is a pair of scissors, it's almost two meters long," Sonoko saw the big scissors appear and stopped Olga Marie's attack without anyone operating it.

"Celestial Gravity", Olga Marie turned the magic in her hand, and the starlight net instantly spread out and wrapped around the big scissors. The big scissors were entangled by the starlight and inserted directly into the ground with the tip of the blade facing down.

"What is this?" The big scissors were suppressed by Olga Marie's gravity magic and could not move. A dark mist appeared at the handle of the scissors. With inner energy flowing in Sonoko's eyes, she saw a figure of medium height trying hard to pull out the big scissors on the ground, and an unpleasant and harsh sound still came out of his mouth.

"Gem-Flame", Toosaka Rin also saw it. The gem magic was performed, and a four or five meter long fireball instantly formed and came to the position of the big scissors, engulfing the big scissors.

The black figure that originally made the unpleasant sound suddenly changed its tone and let out a scream of fear and pain.

The next moment, something strange happened to Toosaka Rin and the others. The big scissors suddenly became illusory and then disappeared on the spot.

Chapter 326: The Power of Void

"It was the fluctuation of space, it escaped." Toosaka Sakura's own virtual attribute made her mental power very sensitive to imaginary elements such as space, and she instantly told how the big scissors disappeared.

After hearing what her sister said, Toosaka Rin saw the jewel pointer on her hand start to spin again.

"Let's chase it. It must have been injured by the fire I just used. Its aura fluctuations are far less than ours." Toosaka Rin led the way, moving in the direction of the pointer.

Finally, they arrived at the slum location at the beginning. The next moment after Toosaka Rin and the others arrived, a pair of giant scissors appeared in the void and fell out. The black shadow that was not clear just now also saw its complete shape, a man with a mustache and a fierce expression, but his figure at this time seemed a little illusory and unreal.

"Mr. Xuan, is this a ghost?" Xiaolan hugged her man's arm tightly at this time, and even hid behind Li Xuan. She stuck her head out and looked forward. When she found that the male figure at the position of the big scissors was a little unreal, she immediately thought of the legend of the hundred ghosts in the Sakura storybook.

Li Xuan lowered his head and tapped Xiaolan's forehead, comforting her with a few words. After she calmed down, he looked at Gong Yuan Xun who was hugging his arms on the other side, and found that she didn't look scared at all. Instead, there was a lot of curiosity in her eyes. However, Li Xuan understood after thinking about it that this girl was a very thick-skinned person.

"Yunoko, you have to be careful," Xiaolan couldn't help but shout out in worry when she saw her best friend and now good sister actually raised her fist to attack the big scissors.

"Don't worry, Xiaolan, this guy is very weak. Miss Yuanzi will smash all these disgusting things this time." Although Yuanzi had the lowest internal energy level in the villa, she was pulled up to the real person realm by Li Xuan. The boxing and kicking skills she had practiced in the past few days combined with the internal energy to attack, beat the bearded man, who was only at the Wuleakage realm, into a miserable state.

If it weren't for the fact that Yuanzi rarely fought, and would have chosen to step back and dodge when the big scissors were swung at him instead of avoiding counterattacks, the bearded man would not have been able to last a single round.

The bearded man thought about using the power of space to escape again, but now he and the violent woman who was attacking him were locked inside a triangular formation.

Olga Marie, Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura received a sealing formation from Li Xuan, the Three Pillars of God - a small sealing formation. The target space within the formation will be locked, and the only way to escape is to break the Three Pillars of God formation.

Olga Marie's talent is not bad. Like Toosaka Rin and the others, they have internal energy cultivation at the True Person Realm. The formation activated by the three of them is simply not something that Jack the Ripper, who is only at the Infallible Realm, can break free from.

Moreover, after Li Xuan's continuous teachings using his internal energy in her ear, Yuanzi has become familiar with the battle.

In the next round, facing the attack of the big scissors, Sonoko did not choose to dodge as before, but instead punched the big scissors sideways. The internal energy of the real person realm exploded on Sonoko's fist, instantly knocking the big scissors in Jack the Ripper's hand away.

After knocking the big scissors away, Sonoko flashed in front of Jack the Ripper and punched him in the face.

"Hehehe", Jack the Ripper didn't know if he was panicking or something, but he was still laughing in a creepy way. Sonoko's fist hit his face but strangely went through it.

"Eh!?" Sonoko retracted her fist, jumped back a few meters, and looked at her fist. Her fist had just pierced Jack the Ripper's body.

When Jack the Ripper saw that Sonoko's attack had no effect on him, he continued to laugh creepily, and this time there seemed to be something else in the sound.

"It's a sonic attack," Olga Marie immediately recognized this type of attack, but she did not make any inferences about the fact that Sonoko's fist penetrated Jack the Ripper's body.

"It's space," Toosaka Sakura spoke again.

Olga Marie frowned, then responded, "But, the formation that Young Master Li Xuan gave us should have locked the space inside."

Toosaka Sakura nodded and said, "Indeed, the space inside the Three Pillars has been locked, but this shadow man himself possesses the characteristics of space."

As the owner of the inner energy attribute of Hollow, Toosaka Sakura's spiritual senses are very sharp. The inner energy emerges in her eyes. She looks at the black shadow man in the Three Pillars. He and Sonoko are not in the same space. The space where the black shadow man is is a mirror space.

Sakura Toosaka has not yet confirmed whether this shadowy man is Jack the Ripper.

However, she did not just stand there as a spectator, but quickly exchanged positions with Sonoko, "Sonoko, come here and take my place. This shadow man has the characteristics of the mirror space. Let me catch him."

Toosaka Sakura and Sonoko instantly exchanged positions, and the power of the Hollow in their bodies spread out. Their internal energy formed a big hand and grabbed the black shadow man above.

"Eh? Sakura, you hit the wrong spot," Sonoko shouted when she saw that Tousaka Sakura's internal energy hand did not hit the shadow man.

Toosaka Rin explained the structure of the mirror space to Sonoko.

The mirror is a reflection of the real space, which can be seen from various angles. If the position of an object seen in the real world, the position in the mirror world may not be in the same direction as the mirror space.

Sure enough, after Toosaka Rin finished her explanation, Toosaka Sakura's inner energy hand seemed to have caught something, and pulled back, instantly pulling out a man wearing an old British suit.

This man had a mustache on both sides and a slicked-back hair. After being caught directly from the mirror space by Toosaka Sakura, he finally stopped emitting creepy sonic attacks.

Toosaka Sakura took out a gem and wrote something on it in the air. Then she pointed the bearded man at the gem, and the bearded man's image was recorded in the gem.

"Okay, I have sealed this man's abilities with a gem. Sonoko, you can ask him questions now," Toosaka Sakura walked towards Sonoko's position, then exchanged a glance with Toosaka Rin and Olga Marie, and at the same time withdrew the Three Pillars Divine Formation.

Knowing that this person was most likely Jack the Ripper who was very famous two hundred years ago, although Yuanzi was a bit thick-skinned, he still learned to be a little cautious under Li Xuan's encouragement. He first transformed his internal energy into an arrow and stabbed a few arrows first.

Seeing that the mustache guy who was hit by all three of his arrows showed no signs of resistance except for a look of pain, Sonoko let down his guard a little, kept a safe distance, and asked, "Let me ask you, you are sneaking around in the middle of the night and making such a creepy laugh, are you the Jack the Ripper from two hundred years ago?"

Chapter 327 Iai and Two-handed Swordsmanship

When the man with the mustache heard Yuanzi's question, he did not respond, but just laughed strangely a few times. Then, the big scissors that were knocked away flew back and instantly cut the man with the mustache in half.

After the mustache man's hair was cut off, no blood flowed out, but turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated. After the big scissors cut the mustache man's hair off, it also turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.

"Rin," when Sonoko saw this situation, she immediately looked at Toosaka Rin, or to be more precise, the gem tracking pointer in her hand.

However, this time Toosaka Rin shook her head and spread out her palm, and the pointer on it had disappeared. "Sonoko, this person has disappeared. The aura he left behind is the constituent material of the pointer, and now his aura has also disappeared."

Toosaka Sakura also said that she did not feel any spatial fluctuations, which means that the bearded man did not use the power of space to escape.

Sonoko was a little depressed after returning empty-handed. She was about to find out the true identity of Jack the Ripper, but unexpectedly an accident happened.

Xiaolan and Miyazono Fumio went forward to comfort Sonoko, and soon Sonoko regained her energy. Since the true identity of the bearded man was not figured out, Sonoko and the others didn't bother with it anymore.

After visiting the Tower Bridge, they returned to the Clock Tower.

"See you later, Miss Mary," after hugging Olga Marie, Li Xuan and the others said goodbye, then left on a private plane.

...

Fuyuki City, church.

A black-haired young man dressed as a priest was sitting upright in the teaching chair. Suddenly, a black shadow covered in a cloak appeared next to the priest, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes.
