Chapter 134 The Spirit of Vengeance, looking for that man (please vote for the 6K chapter)

Higashinohara took a deep breath.

He is not an optimist, but he will not worry about dangers that have not yet arrived. If that were the case, Higashinohara would not take risks again and again to complete the tasks in the "Guilty Manual".

He continued up the apartment stairs.

It's getting late.

The dusk gradually turned deep red.

Higashinohara climbed up to the corner of the corridor on the fifth floor. The afterglow of the western sky just reflected on his face, but his steps could not help but pause slightly.

Not far away, I saw a woman with blond hair lying on the corridor railing.

She held her chin in her hands and stared blankly at the twilight in the west. The lines on her profile were very soft, and her blond hair as smooth as satin was dyed into a charming rose gold color by the twilight.

Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the aunt who came to seek refuge in the morning was of course not his aunt, but Nishimaru Miria's aunt, Clodia Osele.

We were in a rush when we met in the morning, rushing to go to school, so Higashinohara didn't have time to take a closer look.

It was said that the northern ice sheets were rich in beauties. Only then did he realize that the rumors were indeed unfounded.

Even though the outline features of the women in the Grand Duchy of Shayash are a bit more European and American in their previous lives, the Clodia in front of her looks a bit like Princess Anne played by Audrey Hepburn when she was young in Roman Holiday. Overall, she still leans towards the oriental aesthetics of her previous lives.

At this moment, under the deepening and reddening twilight, Clodia's side profile looks extremely smooth, her facial features are small and delicate, and her deep temperament also contains an indescribable elegance...

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is her eyes with thick eyelashes, which are unconsciously reminiscent of the eyes of a deer running and jumping in the mountain stream. They are innocent and moving, as if they are like an elf falling into the mortal world.

It was at this time that Higashinohara remembered that although she was Nishimaru Miria's aunt, she was actually much younger than her mother. She was now just a subjugated princess in her twenties who had first learned the feeling of sorrow.

Although the scene under the sunset was very beautiful, Higashinohara's gaze did not linger for long, and he quickly spoke out, "Miss Oselet, what a coincidence, didn't you continue to rest?"

Kolodya was staring blankly at the dusk. After hearing Higashinohara's words, she was slightly startled. She immediately turned her head and looked at the handsome young man at the corner of the corridor. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing.

She quickly raised her hand to straighten the ends of her hair that were a little messy in the evening breeze, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, "It's Higashino-kun, I've had a good rest, eh? Didn't Xiaomi-ri come back with you?"

She heard in the morning that Nishimaru Miria had awakened dual talents and was admitted to the esper academy where Higashinohara attended as a special admission at a young age. She was sincerely amazed and surprised in her heart.

"Xiao Weili, she has club activities and will be back later, but it should be almost done."

Higashinohara smiled and pointed at the ingredients he bought at the nearby farmer's market, and invited, "You haven't had dinner yet. We can eat together later when I prepare it."

Coladia was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and a trace of blush appeared on her cheeks under the dusk.

She was entrusted by Nishimaru Miri's mother before her death to find her relatives and take care of Nishimaru Miri. However, she did not expect that the world was constantly changing. Now that she has arrived in Wano Country, she is not invited by the emperor or recognized by the diplomatic department, and she does not even have a place to stay.

It seemed like he came all the way to Nishimaru Miria's place to eat and drink.

But people are like iron rice and steel, and it seems that it is not possible if they don't eat. She can only lower her head and say "hmm".

Seeing this, Higashinohara couldn't help but smile inwardly. Without saying anything else, he took the dishes back to the room.

It's the first day and I'm still a little unfamiliar, but once I get to know each other, it won't be a big deal.

He usually eats lunch boxes from the school cafeteria and convenience stores alone, and there are no stoves or kitchen utensils in the room. Fortunately, Nishimaru Miria used to be the daughter of a poor family, and she can also cook some dishes for herself. This time she moved back and bought some.

I bought some small and exquisite kitchen utensils that I can borrow tonight.

Higashino originally thought that a princess of the principality like Colodia must be someone with no fingers on the spring water, and she could open her mouth with her clothes on, but she didn't expect that she was also proficient in cooking.

After seeing Higashinohara washing vegetables and preparing dishes in the rented house, Coladia quickly came in and wanted to help.

Higashinohara declined a few words. Considering that she was a little embarrassed to be dependent on someone else, doing more things would help relieve her psychological burden, so she stopped blocking her.

The two assigned work to each other, lowered their heads and started busy.

So, when it was dark, Nishimaru Miria came back carrying a small schoolbag.

After opening the door, what she saw was Higashinohara and her aunt busy in a small rented house. The envious memories of standing at the door of other people's homes were suddenly touched.

Is this what home feels like?

A huge smile appeared on her little face.

"I'm back."

"Welcome back."

Today's dinner is very simple, just the common miso soup in Wano, rice, fried fish and Higashinohara's stir-fried vegetables with Chinese characteristics in the past life, mapo tofu and stir-fried pork.

Simple but warm, the three of them sat on the tatami, with the TV on next to them, and started eating dinner with the sound of "I'm starting".

Coladia helped a lot during dinner, and now she could taste the fruits of her labor, and the anxiety and restraint of being dependent on others also disappeared a lot.

While eating, the news from Channel Asahi was playing on the TV next to me.

Among several entertainment gossips, an emergency news was broadcast on the TV. It seemed that there was an explosion in an apartment building in Shinjuku District.

The female news anchor said that the scope of the explosion was only on the top floor of the apartment building, and it did not expand and the fire was under control. The cause of the accident is initially estimated to be an explosion of an old gas pipeline. The casualties are unknown for the time being. The fire brigade has arrived and launched emergency rescue. Please

People nearby should take precautions.

When the three people who were eating saw the news, their attention was immediately attracted.

In the picture on the TV, an apartment building was seen in the burning dusk, with black smoke rising toward the distant sky. There were many fire trucks and police cars from the Metropolitan Police Department with red and blue flashing lights parked below.

Since arriving in Wano Country, Kolodya first experienced the "White Jade Plaza Incident" in the Imperial Palace yesterday, and saw this scene again while having dinner today.

She couldn't help but be startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "I finally understand why they are unwilling to help me. It turns out that the situation in Wano Country is not as optimistic as I imagined."

Hearing her aunt's words, Nishimaru Miria blinked her big eyes, looked up at Higashinohara and asked, "Brother, it was just said on TV that an old gas pipeline exploded, is that true?"

After being silent for a moment, Higashinohara stared at the embers of the ruins on the top floor, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I hope so, but if it was a gas pipeline explosion, I think it would be difficult to control the range so accurately."

at this moment,

The scene half an hour after the explosion.

As dusk fell, the red and blue lights of the police car illuminated the darkness that was sweeping around.

Police officers have cordoned off the surrounding area, dismissed the original tenants of the apartment building due to possible safety hazards, and set up temporary tents for them in a nearby park - Wano has been prone to natural disasters since ancient times.

Most people have to sleep in parks twice a year, and tenants have nothing against this.

Snap—!

The orange firelight flashed away.

In front of the building, surrounded by police cars and fire trucks, someone silently lit a cigarette in the darkness.

Chitetsu Nishirin, the captain of the 3rd Division of the 3rd Investigation Team, took a deep breath, then blew out a smoke ring into the dark night above his head, and turned to look at Tsukasa Sugita, the captain of the 13th Division, who was carrying a can of coffee.

, couldn’t help but said:

"If I remember correctly, Team 13 should be responsible for the murder of two congressmen in the nursing home today. Why do you have time to come here?"

Since the last time he failed to accuse acting captain Hakutaku Kimura of murder, Tsukasa Sugita has become thinner and thinner these days, and his person has become more silent, like a stone under the black waves on the seashore.

Hearing Nishirin Chitetsu's question, Sugitaji said in a calm voice, "That case was intercepted by the new big shots from the Judgment Division as soon as we found out the clues today. They are now in charge."

Having said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the residential apartment building that suffered a tragic explosion, and felt an indescribable irritation and anger in his heart.

"Is it the Seventh Adjudicator?"

Xilin Qiantetsu had obviously heard about this.

He looked at Sugita Tsukasa seriously and asked with some confusion, "It stands to reason that even if the other party is a judge who wants to take away your case, given your character, you should not give up halfway."

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped talking in surprise.

Sugita Tsukasa nodded and said in an indifferent tone, "Yes, that's why I came here."

This is where the clues lead.

It's just that someone is ahead of them.

The way to solve problems is also more crude.

Even cruel!

Nishirin Qiantetsu turned his head and looked at the apartment building not far away where the firefighters and the forensics class were coming in and out. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

.

"It would be great if Team Leader Tokugawa is still here."

He suddenly spoke.

The third investigation team was built by Tokugawa Ritora decades ago when no one was optimistic about it. He kept traveling around to recruit people and built the structure step by step.

Until now, it has become a law enforcement agency that can compete with the Metropolitan Police Department in Wano, and it is also the most powerful official organization of ability users in the hearts of countless ability users.

If Tokugawa Kuritora was still around, even if he had to consider the gains and losses of all aspects as he had already entered the eighth level, that tiger would never let the arrogant judges of the Judgment Department step on him as easily as he did today.

Above their heads, trampling on their self-esteem.

But at this moment, when Xilin Qiante said these words, the air suddenly fell silent.

Because they all know that it has been more than 20 days since Tokugawa Ritora fell into the sea in the accident in the northern part of the Nemuro Strait.

From the initial sea area search and rescue to later expanding the scope to surrounding islands, and now one after another search and rescue ships have withdrawn with no hope of search and rescue, leaving only one or two scattered ships still drifting on the sea.

Make a final stand.

How long this persistence can last may be just a matter of time.

What is foreseeable is that after the election of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is over, a new Prime Minister of the Cabinet will take office.

The Third Investigation Team is directly under the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. The long-vacant official team leader position must be replaced by someone. By then, the acting team leader of the Fifth Team, Kimura Takuya, will probably become a regular leader.

Thinking of this, Tsukasa Sugita suddenly asked, "I heard that Captain Tsukada is hitting the seventh-level bottleneck recently. Do you have any news?"

Tsukada is the captain of the first team. He is loyal and reliable. He is a peak sixth-level superpower with talent sequence 42 [Reshape]. His strength is terrifying and he is known as the "first person with absolute abilities".

If he can successfully advance to the seventh level, then the position of leader of the Third Investigation Team may not only be an option of "acting leader to full time", Tsukada Masaru will also become a highly competitive candidate.

Hearing Sugita Tsukasa's words, Nishirin Chitetsu frowned, and he also realized what Sugita Tsukasa was thinking.

Relating the accusation of the failure in the conference room last time, Nishirin Chitetsu couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Captain Tsukada's strength is already infinitely close to the seventh level. As long as he can improve his field, he can step forward at any time.
To be continued...
