Chapter 89 Snacks in the Evening!
Sato is dead.
Died in a small alley less than three blocks from the restaurant.
The floor is smudged and dirty water runs.
Neat suit pants have long been stained.
One of the two shoes was still on his foot, and the other had fallen a few meters away.
The corpse came into view in a sitting position.
He leaned against the dirty wall, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was slit in the end.
The trachea, including the neck, was completely incised.
However, the real fatal wound is a sword in the chest.
The long sword pierced the heart, and the sword holder turned his wrist, completely smashing Sato's heart.
Moreover, just in case, the other party also made another sword on Sato's right chest.
The person who shoots is a good swordsman.
Not only is he good at raiding, but he is also extremely fast with his sword.
At the same time, he is determined and will not give Sato any way out.
So that Sato was killed without a response at all.
only……
Why is Sato here?
Jason squatted there, examining Sato's body, thinking in his mind.
Then, Jason looked out the alley.
It was already evening at this time, and the last afterglow of the setting sun was blooming on the street. The pedestrians on the street looked at it from a distance, whispering, some fearful, some excited.
And not far away is the busy shopping mall.
In fact, it is because of this mall that it is crowded with people.
Especially in the evening rush hour, the flow is endless.
Sato was thrown out of the restaurant.
Must be outraged.
There is a high probability that he will move forward while cursing in his heart.
If you follow the flow of people, you will come here unconsciously.
Then he will stop when he finds out.
Or turn away.
Or enter the mall.
It is impossible to enter this remote alley.
unless……
"Someone invited him here."
"Or someone attracted to this place."
After Jason quickly came to a preliminary conclusion, he got up and walked towards Ryosuke and Urashima.
The middle-aged criminal policeman is 'reviewing the scene' again based on his experience.
The young police officer had just brought people to question the passers-by around him.
"What did you find?"
Jason asked.
"No."
"Sato came here by himself and was killed."
"No one saw the whole process."
The young policeman said in distress.
A murder case like this is really difficult to solve if there are no witnesses.
Although there is surveillance on the street, the angle of surveillance cannot cover everything, especially this alley, which is a blind spot.
"How about you, Ryosuke?"
Jason continued to ask.
"Sato should have been invited here!"
Ryosuke said with certainty.
"how do you know?"
Onodera, who came all the way, looked at Ryosuke curiously.
The blossoming yard tree on the side also cast curious eyes.
"time!"
“Time to come here from a restaurant!”
"It took 25 minutes to leave from Sato and report to Urashima. I just walked again - an adult can only come here within that time, on the premise of walking quickly and not turning."
"So, after leaving the restaurant, Sato came straight here with a purpose."
Ryosuke raised a finger and said his answer.
"So it is."
Onodera muttered to himself.
Then, this one found that the people around were looking at him with a strange look.
Immediately, this one could guess why.
Ryosuke is an experienced policeman.
He, too.
At least that's what it says on the resume.
However, the on-site response was more than a little bit different from that of Liang Jie.
This made Onodera a little panicked.
You know? These are special times: he's just joined Jason's camp,
Just when he needs to perform urgently? If he does not perform well at this time? The consequences can be imagined.
Sitting on the bench is the best result.
Most likely it will be discarded.
After all? People who are worthless? There is no need to stay.
In his previous life, Onodera experienced such days.
He subconsciously thought that it was the same at this moment.
So? Onodera was sweating on his forehead.
But suddenly? He had an epiphany.
The panic is gone.
The rest, just smile.
He first looked around at everyone, and then set his eyes on Jason's body and talked.
"People have weaknesses and strengths."
"There are those who are good at it and those who are not good at it."
"Ryosuke is good at on-site inspections, and what I am good at is... news!"
Speaking of this, Onodera deliberately paused.
And then? This one gestured to step aside and talk to Jason alone.
In this regard, Jason did not refuse.
He wants to see what news comes from Onodera.
Of course, Jason didn't walk over alone.
Ryosuke followed.
Jason knows very well that he doesn't know much about the world in front of him. Some secret information and even common sense are far inferior to Ryosuke and Huakaiyuanshu.
So, he needs someone to advise him.
As for the blooming yard tree?
The young Onmyoji consciously stayed where he was.
Everyone has room.
He has.
Jason has it too.
Even good friends? And hard to share.
And? He didn't want Jason to be embarrassed.
After all, there was a misunderstanding between the two sides when they first met.
Thinking of this, Huakaiyuanshu couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Asshole, Sunny.
Why is it so lucky?
I actually met a partner like Jason.
Seeing Huakaiyuanshu consciously staying in place, Jason couldn't help but nodded in his heart.
Sure enough, who likes milk tea, how bad can they be?
Suddenly, Jason's affection for Huakaiyuanshu was one more point.
Previous favors?
It's definitely not because the other party invited him to drink milk tea, and the one who was willing to admit defeat gave him three pieces of delicious 'food' and that very tempting 'food'.
Onodera walked in front, Jason and Ryosuke followed.
When he reached the depths of the alley, Onodera mysteriously took out a crumpled note from his pocket.
"Lord, look."
Onodera said in a low voice.
phone number?
Jason frowned and looked at Onodera.
"Someone contacted me in advance!"
Immediately, Onodera said what happened before.
Of course, he concealed his help to Ryosuke.
There is no other meaning.
Just simply don't want to say it.
He helped Ryosuke just to repay his gratitude.
To repay is to repay, it is too hypocritical to say.
Hmm, he can't do it.
"You suspect they did it?"
After Jason listened to Onodera's story, he asked directly.
"Probably yes!"
"'Hua Ying' is not a little sheep, even if they want to start, there are some people."
"And 'limited' limits options!"
"Simply put, even if it's not this wave of people, when we confirm it, the rest is the answer."
Onodera said with certainty.
Jason had no objection.
Ryosuke also nodded.
The situation of 'Hana Sakura', with the introduction of the flower garden tree, they already know almost.
According to Huakaiyuanshu, the current situation is the most likely, as Onodera analyzed.

"Do you need me to call now?"
Onodera asked Jason.
"Not in a hurry."
"Find someone to investigate first."
"Use your usual means."
Jason emphasized.
Onodera's eyes lit up immediately, and he guessed what Jason meant.
Compared with the "waiting for a rabbit" meeting after a phone call, it is more suitable to lead the snake out of the hole!
"clear."
"I'll make arrangements right now."
"Sir, as soon as there is a situation, I will report to you!"
Saying such words, Onodera hurriedly left.
"What are we going to do?"
It wasn't until Onodera's back disappeared that Ryosuke asked.
"You deal with your share of things and try to 'get' credit."
Jason reminded Ryosuke.
"You mean?"
Ryosuke looked at Jason in disbelief.
"Your mission is to get close to me. Naturally, you will get some things from me that ordinary people don't know about - but these things are not secrets to the senior management of 'Sakura'."
"But it's still your real credit."
"They keep you going strong."
"but me?"
"I'm also very interested in the kind of potion that strengthens the body."
Jason smiled and said frankly.
He didn't hide his interest in those potions.
In other words, Jason was very interested in the combination of this technology and mysticism.
If you can taste the taste of it, it will be even better.
"I understand."
"Such a report will make me more trusted by the senior management of 'Sakura'."
"Even if you get another potion, it won't be difficult."
Ryosuke nodded.
"Well, it's up to you here."
"There is still a need for assistance at Onodera."
"I'm going to help him."
Jason said and strode away.
It is different from Ryosuke who is already on the right track.
Everything in Onodera is unknown.
Someone needs to be 'watched' from time to time.
Of course, this candidate was not him.
Compared to him, Huakaiyuanqing is the most appropriate.
Not only more people, but also more professional.
However, before that, Jason said goodbye to Huakaiyuanshu——
"Thank you for the milk tea."
Jason said sincerely.
Perhaps compared to other foods, Huakaiyuanshu is nothing here.
But in terms of milk tea, the milk tea prepared by Huakaiyuanshu is the best that Jason has ever had.
"Next time we continue?"
Huakaiyuanshu asked with a smile.
"certainly!"
"You know where to find me!"
Jason nodded immediately.
"Then see you!"
Huakaiyuanshu waved his hand.
"See you."
Jason also waved.
Then, the two sides quickly left the scene.
Huakaiyuanshu returned to the restaurant he just bought. This is the place where he and Jason met. He thought it was very meaningful, so he wanted to remodel it.
At least, it has to have a 'sweet' taste.
Of course, the seat he and Jason sat in will also be his and Jason's special seat.
No other guests will be welcomed there.
And Jason returned all the way to 'mask X machete X meat'.
The 'White Bear Cafe' downstairs once again put up a suspending sign.
Obviously, Hui Lijing is still in the 'Uesugi' family.
Jason is not worried about this.
He saw the performance of the 'Uesugi family' in his eyes.
It was a fairly decent family.
So, Jason went straight upstairs, put down his backpack, and called Hua Kaiyuanqing——
"I need your help with something."
Jason told Hua Kaiyuanqing his request straight to the point.
"No problem, leave it to me."
"'Sakura'?"
"Ha ha."
Hua Kaiyuan Qing agreed immediately, but when he mentioned 'Hua Ying', the gentle young Onmyoji sneered twice.
"how?"
Jason asked.
"The 'King of Fighters' thing."
"Although I don't have definitive proof yet."
"But I can vaguely perceive the shadow of 'Sakura' in it."
Hua Kaiyuanqing didn't hide it, and told Jason the information he found in a short period of time.
"is that so?"
Jason groaned.
Before, he had guessed that 'Sakura' would not sit still and would definitely fight back.
In terms of the "King of Fighters", he also guessed.
It's just that there is no definitive proof.
And now, the saying that the flowers opened the courtyard tree confirmed his guess.
With this confirmation, Jason's brain began to turn rapidly.
If 'Hana Sakura' participated in the 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament' in order to resist, then the entire 'King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament' is a trap.
A trap that can make 'Sakura' reverse the unfavorable situation in front of him.
Therefore, the existing contestants are far from enough.
More people have to be involved.
Even... dragging the entire 'inner world' into the water.
This is not an easy task.
However, it is not too difficult.
All it takes is a proper 'bait'.
Jason held the phone, stood there, thought for a few seconds, and already had the answer in his heart.
Fear the word flag!
The legendary treasure of Tongshou Temple, the flag of fear!
A treasure that even the old monk of Tongshou Temple has never seen!
A treasure that only exists in legends, but has been making a lot of noise recently!
It was so!
Jason thought to himself.
However, Jason didn't say it.
Although he checked the surroundings, there was no monitoring, but the 'phone' was still unsafe.
So he just said so.
"I see."
"Ah That's good."
As smart as a flower, Kaiyuan Qing naturally won't ask too much.
In other words, Huakaiyuanqing already has the answer.
After the two tacitly hung up the phone, Jason sat there thinking again for a moment.
Fear flag.
Cherry blossoms.
trap.
fight back.
Prosperous month.
He started to contact all the information at this stage.
Gradually, a line begins to connect it in series.
However, there was one more thing that Jason couldn't understand.
Off the island!
In other words, his 'original source'.
"Is it related to 'Sakura'?"
"still……"
"Prosperous month?"
Jason frowned again, starting to lack information again.
Finally, he shook his head.
Jason chose to give up temporarily. Without information, no matter how much he thinks, it is useless.
Then, he picked up the backpack and began to count the harvest just now.
Three 'food' that tasted good and the very tempting 'food'
All are from the blossoming yard tree.
The three good-tasting 'foods' all look like rosary beads.
Wooden, round, with intricate patterns imprinted on it.
And that very tempting 'food' is a talisman.
[Vajra Rosary (Town): This is a rosary from the Centennial Temple. It has the function of warding off evil spirits and praying for blessings. When it was discovered by an onmyoji of Huakaiyuan, he joined the onmyoji technique to make the rosary more magical and effective. : The wearer can resist the invasion of some evil spirits, and at the same time, he can take the initiative to cast a demon-breaking (dynamite) level attack. 】
(Note: After actively casting the magic, the diamond rosary will lose its due effect.)
...
[Replacement talisman paper: Somewhere in Onikawa, an ancestor of the Huakaiyuan family discovered a post-war ruin, in which he found this magical talisman paper; effect: Replace the holder with Marked position, remaining times: 1/5]
(Note: When the number of uses is completed, the rune paper will disappear automatically)
...
“Looking good food!”
Jason swallowed.
Then, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up the spirits beside him.
Eating has to have its own sense of ritual.
After careful cleaning, Jason opened his mouth——
Began to eat!
