Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Uesugi Kiyoto was stunned.

If you're that kind of coward, you shouldn't be a policeman!

Do I look that scary?

He ignored the policewoman, stepped forward, carefully bent down, grabbed the head by the hair, and lifted it up, examining it closely.

Don't let this coward trample on this man's face. He'll want to follow the trail and find out who's trying to take his life.

This scene was even more horrifying to the female police officer and the surrounding officers.

Where did this psychopathic killer come from?!

Covered in blood, gazing lovingly at a human head!

Soon, the police, having regained their senses, had already subtly surrounded Uesugi Kiyoshi. He didn't look like a normal person at all, so they decided to arrest him first.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned, looked around, touched his pocket, and his face stiffened.

It seems you didn't bring your phone?

Gee.

Am I going to be invited to eat pork chop rice again?

A phone call to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, or a friend of his master, would have resolved the matter. This play clearly involves occultists and is beyond the jurisdiction of the police.

Just as he was starting to feel things were getting tricky, a boy's half-body emerged from the alleyway where his apartment was located not far away.

"What are you doing?"

"Go away, everyone disperse, get to work, don't slack off."

"Hurry up and clean this area up. When we get back, we'll report it as a gang fight. I've already made arrangements. Otherwise, someone will leak it to the reporters, and when it's in the papers tomorrow, you'll all be in for a scolding from the higher-ups!"

"."

"What are you standing there for! Are you deaf?!" The boy in the Haicheng High School uniform, holding a black umbrella, loudly gave orders. The police officers, upon hearing his command, quickly ignored Uesugi Kiyoshi and continued their work of cleaning up the mess.

Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, a faint smile unconsciously curving his lips. Carrying his spoils, he quickly walked into the alley at the man's beckoning gesture.

The alley where his house was located had been blocked off, with police officers stationed at every end to prevent pedestrians from approaching. However, the people busy in the alley were not police officers, but several burly men in suits. They were efficiently dealing with the body in the black suit on the ground. As for the bodies of Kuki Ao and Kuki Aka, several people wearing white coats, who were either doctors or scientists, had gathered around and formed a small circle, discussing them in heated words.

"What, Master Kudo is personally going out on fieldwork? I was wondering why you sometimes disappear after school, so you have this hobby?"

Standing there, holding an umbrella in the rain, was none other than Uesugi Kiyoshi's good friend, the collector of the Collectors Association, and "Detective" Kudo Yuichi.

He is the linker who connects to the spirit of Edogawa Ranpo, and is said to possess an ability called "Super Deduction".

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi's words contained a hint of jest, they were not at all distant. Although he knew Kudo Yuichi's identity, he did not intend to hold any grudges against this friend because of it.

Kudo Yuichi sighed, but with a smile on his face. He took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Uesugi Kiyoshi, holding the umbrella over their heads. He shook his head, looking helpless.

“I didn’t want to come originally, I rarely go out on fieldwork.”

"The Arakawa Police Station received the report fifteen minutes ago. At the same time, our field agents also issued a regional disaster alert. After communicating with the police, our Collectors Association has temporarily taken over the case."

“I received the notification, and when I saw that the location was near your home, I felt something was wrong, so I came to check it out.”

"I can't believe I actually ran into this -- you're the one who killed that big guy with one blow, right? What's with this thing in your hand and all these corpses on the ground?"

Kudo Yuichi gestured with his lip towards the bloody head in Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand and explained.

Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kudo Yuichi walked a few steps together and found a roof to shelter from the rain. He shrugged and said meaningfully, "I've heard that you have an amazing ability."

"Can you deduce it for me?"

Kudo Yuichi frowned slightly and muttered a curse under his breath.

"It's that bastard Akutagawa again, always talking nonsense."

He glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi's expectant eyes, raised his hand to touch his smooth chin, and pondered, "Alright, alright."

"This level of matter isn't serious enough to warrant me using my abilities."

"Qing, the so-called reasoning is not difficult. As long as there is sufficient intelligence, that is, clues, you can get a very accurate truth through simple logic and elimination."

"For me, what's important is not the process of reasoning out the truth; that's just the foundation."

Kudo Yuichi took a deep breath, and a slightly neurotic smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Uncovering the motives behind those crimes and experiencing the evil and desire that incites humans to kill their own kind is more enjoyable for me than simple reasoning."

"The flower of evil that plunges people into hell is the most radiant of colors."

"."

"The car parked on the street is the young lady's car from the Dongwen Society. The Dongwen Society has been making a lot of unusual moves lately. The field agents in Shinjuku have to report every two hours. Yesterday, Dongwen Yu, the head of the Dongwen Society, held a private meeting of executives. None of the Dongwen Society executives who attended the meeting have shown up yet. They are either dead, under house arrest, or they may have already sided with Dongwen Yu."

"The Wolf of Dongwen is ambitious and not one to be subservient to others. The president of the Dongwen Association, Dongwen Jue, is determined to pass on the position of the second generation to his only daughter, Dongwen Zhenxi. This is the fuse. The Dongwen Association has long been in turmoil and is not peaceful!"

"The identities of those in black suits have been confirmed. They are the martial arts faction of the Double Ghost Group under Dong Wenyu, led by the Nine Ghost Brothers. Strong remnants of ghost and god power were detected on the Nine Ghost Brothers, which can be determined that they have been transformed into ritual practitioners, or it is possible that ghosts and gods have taken the opportunity to possess them—those researchers are still arguing about the results."

"The last clue is that your master, Mr. Kamiizumi Hidekawa, had a good relationship with Tobun-kai Tobun-kaku. It is said that Tobun-kaku used all the resources of Tobun-kai to help Kamiizumi Kensho a lot back then."

Kudo Yuichi extended his left hand and drew a circle.

"This is intelligence."

He then stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Then, through simple logical connections, the result can be obtained."

"The young lady of the Dongwen Society was on a business trip. When she arrived near your apartment in Arakawa Ward, she was ambushed by Dong Wenyu. You saw that she was the daughter of your master's friend, so you stepped in to help and easily killed the Nine Ghosts, who had become superhumans."

Kudo Yuichi's statement was somewhat brief, but it was not far from the truth.

He stared at Uesugi Kiyoshi's tattered tracksuit for a few moments, then continued speaking with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“On the walls of the apartment, I found traces of bullets. After a quick examination, the field agents determined that they were modified 14.9mm anti-materiel sniper armor-piercing rounds. They had used firearms.”

"Your clothes are in such a state, with scorch marks on the edges, like you've been shot. And on top of that, you came back from outside carrying a severed head that you refused to give up."

"You were shot, and then you rushed off to kill the gunman?"

"You know this sniper isn't from the Kuki Group, so you suspect they have outside help and want to figure out the enemy's identity by looking at this person's face?"

"hiss"

"Are all sword practitioners this abnormal? After being shot by a sniper rifle, they can still go and take revenge unscathed?"

By the end, Kudo Yuichi's gaze towards Uesugi Kiyoshi had turned as if he were looking at a monster.

Some extraordinary individuals might not be afraid of bullets—for example, Kamiizumi Hidekawa. Kudo Yuichi knew about that swordsman's exploits, and if Kamiizumi had been prepared, he could probably have cleanly cleaved the same bullet in two with a single strike.

However, being able to dodge or evade a bullet is completely different from being hit by a large-caliber armor-piercing bullet and remaining unharmed!

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded somewhat convincingly, acknowledging Kudo Yuichi's assessment, and said with a smile, "Excellent, excellent, as expected of you."

"That's about it. I'm quite gifted, which is why I survived by chance."

"Well, you've come at the right time. I need your help with something too. Could you have someone check this person's identity for me?"

Kudo Yuichi tilted his head and examined the head again. He raised an eyebrow, reached out and took it, and without any hesitation touched the man's cheek and tugged at his ear. Finally, he called over a field agent from the Collectors Association and asked him to take the head away.

After wiping his hands a few times with the rainwater and shaking off the water droplets, Kudo Yuichi said with certainty, "There's no need to bother investigating. This person is someone of status; I know him."

"Yuan Longsen, the younger brother of Yuan Longhai, one of the nine dragons of the Kowloon Group, is an assassin. He has no supernatural abilities, but specializes in long-range sniping. He is notorious in the underworld of Tokyo. With his accurate long-range sniping, he has killed dozens of supernatural beings. He is a formidable and annoying character."

"He is the most powerful assassin in the Yuanhui of Yuanlonghai. The fact that he can collude with the Shuanggui Group means that Dong Wenyu is probably already in cahoots with the Yuanhui."

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt things were getting complicated again, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

"The Kowloon Group?"

"The largest yakuza group in Tokyo, the Black Night Empire, the head of the yakuza, the Kowloon Group, which is a coalition of nine large groups?"

He had been searching online for information about the Tobunkai these past few days, so he had some understanding of the yakuza forces in Tokyo and wasn't completely ignorant of them.

"Yes, it's them."

Kudo Yuichi's expression wasn't good either.

"So the Kowloon Group plans to support Dong Wenyu and target Dong Wenjue?"

"If I wanted revenge for this gunshot wound, would I have to make enemies of the entire Kowloon Group?!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone was somewhat gloomy. He was quite vengeful, and he didn't want to let go of this life-or-death feud that had almost cost him his life.

Kudo Yuichi waved his hand with a solemn expression.

"That's not the case."

"You probably don't know, but Kiyoshi, the yakuza forces in Tokyo are actually quite complex and not as simple as they seem."

"Basically, the Kowloon Group, the Dongwen Society, and the Guandong United are the three major factions that dominate the underworld. In recent years, the Guandong United has sided with a large conglomerate and has basically cleaned up its act, fading out of the ranks of gangsters."

"Although the Kowloon Group is a relatively new organization, it is considered the most orthodox gang. The nine groups of the Kowloon Group have inherited most of the foundation of the Japanese yakuza."

"If we turn back time to twenty years ago, the Kowloon Group had not even been established yet. At that time, the three most powerful gangs in Japan were the Yamaguchi-gumi, the Sumiyoshi-kai, and the Inagawa-kai."

"They made their fortunes during the postwar depression, and their capital grew exponentially. At one point, they were able to control the election of members of parliament and wielded immense power in Japan, becoming a stumbling block in the eyes of capitalists and politicians."

"Later, as the economy recovered, politicians and tycoons gained more and more control over the country. Naturally, they could not tolerate their share being taken by these Yakuza—they could have some soup, but not meat."

"As a result, the government and conglomerates reached a consensus to crack down on the gangs. Laws specifically targeting gangs, such as the 'Organized Crime Countermeasures Law,' were introduced one after another, and major conglomerates also took action to squeeze out the legitimate businesses of the gangs."

"On the other hand, these politicians also very cleverly adopted the policy of using violence to combat violence - they want to support an obedient gang to deal with those disobedient violent groups, taking a two-pronged approach to completely turn the gangs into obedient dogs under their control, instead of wolves that are eyeing them covetously."

"Yes, you should be familiar with the gang they support. It's the Dongwen Society, which was established not long ago. This is also an important reason why Dongwen Jue was able to start from scratch. The thing that this Dongwen snake is best at in his life is leveraging power!"

"He was a master at using others to do his dirty work."

"By using the government's name to compete with gangs for resources, and once they have become strong and powerful, they cultivate their own forces to maintain their own influence, thus creating a delicate balance of power. In the end, the one who benefits the most from this is Dong Wenjue."

Kudo Yuichi's expression was somewhat admiring, as if he greatly appreciated Higashi Bunkaku.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was also quite excited. Although it was simple to say, the fact that he could survive in the cracks between the government, conglomerates, and yakuza and build up a large yakuza gang that ranked among the top in Tokyo was no simple feat of being good at maneuvering.

This is definitely a ruthless and cunning tyrant with a keen sense of smell and a shrewd and calculating mind.

"The rapid growth of the Dongwen Society and the various forms of pressure from government conglomerates have dealt a heavy blow to the gang."

"At that time, the Yamaguchi-gumi in Kansai, and the Sumiyoshi-kai and Inagawa-kai in Kanto were all struggling to breathe. They arranged a time and place for a tripartite meeting to unite and form an alliance to deal with the pressure from all sides."

"The method is good, but they've oversimplified human nature."

Kudo Yuichi chuckled, his eyes turning dismissive.
