Falling Wind Story

eleven,

In the following time, Liu ran around the homes of the team leaders, and sometimes summoned some swordsmen with excellent sword skills in the organization to come to have long talks.

But after all, after so many years, the attitudes and rhetoric given by everyone are impeccable and not suspicious.

The last clues are all on the front line of Mr. Taketori.On the way to Taketori's house, Ruu was already exhausted, so he leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

"Aqin, if you really can't find the murderer, what will Shensi do?" Liu asked me suddenly.

"Mr. Nishimura will face Mr. Onodera tomorrow." I thought about it and answered nonsense.

"You also saw him practice sword the day before yesterday, do you think he will win?"

"I don't think winning or losing is a good thing."

"How?" Liu opened his eyes.

"If you win, the impression that he is the murderer may be confirmed in everyone's mind; if you lose, Mr. Onodera will definitely bring down the killer."

"You mean people can't see the difference in the last move?"

"It's very difficult, and the improved Luofeng Sword is still powerful. Everyone will only think that Mr. Nishimura may have used another move that day."

"Is that so... Then don't we have to find that suspicious murderer today?" Liu closed his eyes wearily again.

While speaking, the car had already driven into the driveway of Taketori Mansion, Liu straightened his collar again, pulled himself together, and got out of the car.

Mr. Taketori's mansion is a Western-style building, perhaps because of the relationship between two children, the room layout is spacious and bright.

Liu Shumen is familiar with the way, obviously a regular customer, but what I didn't expect was that Mr. Taketori was not at home.

Liu still politely handed Mrs. Taketori the foreign confectionery snacks that he deliberately detoured to buy: "I was rude at the dinner last time, and I hope Brother Taketori doesn't mind."

Hearing his voice, Master Taketori rushed down from the second floor cheering, and threw himself into Liu's arms: "Liu, did you bring my favorite almond mousse this time too?" The two were laughing and laughing.

Mrs. Taketori took the snacks to the maid to deal with in the kitchen, and said with a smile: "You are a real kid, you only know how to eat snacks. Why don't you take Liu to see your new painting?"

"By the way, last time I heard that Yuta is learning to draw, are your grades good?" Seeing Mr. Taketori's absence, Ruu simply relaxed and started playing with him.

"The painting is upstairs, Liu, I'll show you." Master Taketori dragged Liu up.

Master Taketori's paintings are still immature.Because I haven't reached the stage of coloring, I can't even see the imagination of color, so it can be said that the appreciation is very insufficient.

Liu Xin turned over a few times, and his attention was attracted by a landscape painting on the easel next to him: In a deep valley, a large field of orange flowers bloomed in full bloom.Needless to say, this painting uses bold colors and exquisite composition, but also because of this valley, there is a sense of déjà vu that cannot be expressed.

"Who painted this painting?" Liu asked.

"It's my teacher. He drew it when he went to the valley to sketch two days ago. Isn't it beautiful? I will be as good as the teacher in the future." Master Taketori replied innocently.

At this moment, Mrs. Taketori brought black tea, and Liu stood up suddenly, trembling with excitement, and even his voice trembled: "Please tell me the address of this sketch teacher immediately!"

Chapter 7

twelve,

Today is the inauguration ceremony of Nishimura Kamiji, and it is also the day when he and Mr. Onodera duel.

If you win, it’s easy to say, the ceremony will be held in a logical manner, and the rest will come to the end of the bridge; if you lose... I dare not think about it anymore, looking at the empty cushions on the seats where I should have been sitting, I feel anxious again looking towards the door.

After Sano Ryu came out of Mr. Taketori's house yesterday, he drove to find the sketch teacher by himself, and told me that if he didn't come back in time, he would come to watch the duel with his sword.Once Mr. Nishimura is unfavorable, he must be saved from the knife at the last critical moment.

Nishimura by the stage was dressed neatly. He seemed to notice my gaze with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes to look over.

I shook my head slightly, catching a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

There were quite a few onlookers, and an unprecedented gathering of influential people in the organization. Of course, there were many skilled swordsmen among them. I had been silently planning for a while how to take Xi Cun out of these people in the most unfavorable situation.

The crowd suddenly became restless, and I looked at the stage. Nishimura and Onodera had already bowed, holding their own knives, and approaching each other cautiously.

The blade of the blade shone coldly, and they paced up and down as if exploring.

The stalemate lasted for just a few seconds, but the viewers felt that it seemed as long as several years. Both of them are masters in the middle, so naturally they both know that the initial move is very important.

Just as I was staring at the tip of Onodera's knife, holding my breath and waiting for him to attack at any time, Nishimura surprised everyone with the knife first.

Watching a master like Xi Cun use the Luofeng sword technique up close, the effect is very shocking.His attack is light but accurate, and his strokes are on the goal.However, Onodera's footwork was not messy at all, and he immediately used the Tengyun swordsmanship, orderly checking and dismantling moves.

During five or six back and forth, the two were still evenly divided, and neither of them got any advantage from the other.Suddenly, Onodera's right foot leaned back and stood on tiptoe.

"It's not good" - my heart sank, and I had a premonition that he was going to use the secret technique he had practiced for a long time.

Sure enough, Onodera's footwork immediately became treacherous, going left and right completely out of the way, Nishimura didn't expect this kind of play, so he had to rush to parry.For a while, only the sound of metal clashing with blades was heard.

Sure enough, it was a swordsmanship specially designed for Luofeng. Every time Xicun retreated, the opponent seemed to have a premonition.In the blink of an eye, he was forced to retreat more than ten steps, Xiaoye Temple took advantage of the situation and stabbed, Nishimura was unable to dodge in time, and a long cut was made on the left forearm of the brand-new Taoist uniform.

What scares me more than the rattling sound of the cloth is the eye-catching red color on Onodera's white blade.

Nishimura was injured, I put my right hand on the saber, ready to rush to save people at any time.

"Aren't you going to make a killing move yet? What are you waiting for?" Although Xiaoye Temple has gained power, his breathing is already a little short.

Nishimura ignored his question and just panted blindly.

Xu Shi was annoyed by this attitude, and Onodera immediately raised his sword to launch the next round of attack.This time the momentum of the attack was even more fierce, with the knife attacking towards Nishimura's left shoulder.He wanted to use the same knife technique to end Nishimura's life, to avenge his brother.

Nishimura's long knife was in front of the collarbone of his left shoulder, trembling slightly, and his left arm was bleeding shockingly.Onodera's sword slashed down from top to bottom, still exerting strength with the force of a jack.

A little more, Nishimura would be overwhelmed, and it's unknown if the opponent took off his entire left arm.I couldn't wait any longer, I held the hilt of the sword with my left hand and prepared to rush forward.Who knew that as soon as he got up, he received a warning look from Nishimura.

What is he thinking?Let me stay out of it?Streaming back would kill me for sure.

During my hesitation for a moment, the door of the dojo behind me was knocked open by Sano Liu with a loud bang: "You two stop immediately!"

Onodera's eyes turned red, but he turned a deaf ear to Convection's words.

Liu raised his voice: "Onodera, stop, I know who the real murderer of Ryota is!"

The people on the field were distracted for a moment, and I rushed up quickly, blocking the staggered blades of the two of them.

Mr. Taketori stood up: "Sano, don't mess around."

Seeing that Nishimura was safe, Liu regained his composure, and walked slowly through the crowd: "I didn't mess around, the real murderer who killed Ryota was not Kamiji Nishimura."

"Don't be kidding. At that time, only Shensi and Ryota were taught the Luofeng Sword Technique. Could it be that Ryota Onodera killed himself?"

"Obviously, there is a third person who stole the sword manual. After learning the Luofeng Dao technique, he used it to kill Liangta and put the blame on Shensi. Then, foster father had to reconsider the matter of the next Patriarch. It has to be said that anyone who has the ability to replace the two of them as the Patriarch should be suspected."

As soon as this remark came out, it was like throwing a firecracker into the audience. Mr. Taketori was the first to stand up: "Are you accusing each of us? Is it possible that I am also suspected?"

"To be honest, before yesterday, Brother Taketori, you were indeed the first target of my doubts." Liu spoke slowly, with a calm tone, "The day before yesterday, three assassins came to assassinate Shensi. There are patterns of bamboo leaves on the headscarves."

"Ridiculous." Mr. Taketori snorted coldly, "First of all, I don't need to send killers to assassinate Nishimura Kamiji, and secondly, I'm not stupid enough to send killers and let them wear my family crest around the market."

"That's true, unless you have the confidence to win." Liu said, seeing Mr. Taketori getting anxious again, he added: "However, yesterday I found the evidence, found the real culprit, and ruled out Brother Taketori For this, I would like to thank Yuta, the youngest son of the Taketori family."

"Oh? That's really lucky." Onodera still didn't quite believe it, and his tone was tinged with sarcasm.

"What does this have to do with Yuta?" Mr. Taketori frowned.

"Let me start from the beginning. Before that, let the doctor come in and treat Shensi's wound." Liu ordered the disciple next to him.

"At the fireworks display seven years ago, everyone gathered on the river bank to watch it, except I was in confinement. After the end, everyone got the news that Ryota Onodera had just been killed in Liucong Valley.

When the fireworks were set off that night, it was dark and the crowd was chaotic.Therefore, everyone agrees that the credibility of witness testimony is not 100%.

However, in the subsequent questions, only Nishimura Kamiji could not answer the color of the last and most grand firework that day.In addition, it was obvious that the person who killed Ryota Onodera was the Luofeng sword technique, so everyone naturally put their suspicions on Nishimura Kamiji.

What I want to tell everyone is that Kamiji stayed with me that night until the end of the fireworks display, and there was absolutely no possibility of running to Liucong Valley to kill Ryota.Of course, everyone can now think that my testimony is not credible, but I want to remind everyone that there is another person, even if he is in Liucong Valley, he can still know the color of the fireworks that day, because he bought all the fireworks by himself.

That's right, this person is our second team leader, Mr. Chiba Manjiro. "

As soon as the conversation ended, everyone's eyes turned to Mr. Chiba.

"Heh," Mr. Qianye has always been a good-natured person. Hearing Liu's accusation, he still calmly said: "Liu, this is a very serious accusation. I understand your desire to help Shensi get rid of the crime..." Speaking Here, he paused on purpose, and the crowd let out dull and disdainful laughter, "But don't you think it's sloppy to point the finger at me based on this alone?"

Sano Liu completely ignored the comments and ridicules in the audience: "Of course I have other evidence.

Seven years ago, the reason I was put in confinement was that the supervision was not effective, which caused Kitano-kun in the dojo to be injured during practice.I took him to the doctor that day and sent him home.After walking a long way, his mother still caught up.Maybe it's because Kitano-kun's injury wasn't serious at all. She didn't mean to blame me, but took out a small paper bag to give to me, and told me that it contained the rare cosmos flower seeds in this city. It was brought back by Kitano-kun's father Yuanyang.

Knowing that I have no talent for cultivating flowers and trees, I donated the flower seeds to Chiba.

I visited his mansion two days ago, and I saw patches of small cosmos, the outer petals were golden, and the dark brown inner circle was very chic.There is a peculiar beauty.

It's just a large bag of flower seeds, and the cultivated flowers are only a few small clusters. Obviously Chiba said that as long as the humidity is right, it is not difficult for cosmos to grow.So where did the rest of the flowers go?

At first, I just felt it was strange, thinking that it was wasted during the cultivation process.Until I saw the sketches in Yuta Taketori's studio yesterday. "

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Liu smiled slightly and continued to say, "Of course it was not drawn by Yuta himself, but a sketch that his teacher put in the room. There is no doubt that the painting is Liu Congxi. Valley, but there are large patches of Cosmos chrysanthemums blooming in full bloom.

I think the person with the flower paper bag went to Liucong Valley that night and fought with Onodera.His swordsmanship alone might not be Onodera's opponent, but Onodera never expected that the murderer would be able to use Luofeng swordsmanship.In an unexpected surprise attack, Onodera was killed by his knife.

During the fight, the flower seeds in the paper bag were accidentally scattered.The murderer left in a hurry, and it was getting dark, so he ignored the scattered flower seeds.

The valley is permeated with mist and humidity all the year round, and the small cosmos seeds also grow by accident, and finally bloom into a sea of ​​flowers.

Unfortunately, when I went to the site to check yesterday, the flowers had already withered.But the art teacher is outside the door now, and everyone can ask him questions. "

After Liu finished speaking, there was no sound.

Chiba smiled miserably, opened her mouth, seemed to want to laugh, but also seemed to want to talk, but finally said nothing, because Onodera Kota's knife had already reached his throat.

thirteen,

Lawyer Oshima sat in Mr. Watanabe's study as patiently as possible, opposite Mr. Nishimura who was yawning after signing the documents.

After the frequency of checking the watch was shortened from once every 5 minutes to once every 3 minutes, Mr. Oshima finally waited for the rushing stream.As soon as they met, Da Dao said, "Liu, hurry up and help him read these documents, and improve efficiency somewhat."

"What's the hurry? My hand was injured in the duel, so I can't write quickly." Nishimura put his head down and signed.

"God, hurry up. I'm going to the fireworks display with my daughter today, and there will be a big traffic jam when I'm late." Lawyer Da Dao had a bitter face.

"So it's this time of year again..." Xi Cun put down his pen and looked out the window eagerly: "How can I finish reading so many documents? Why don't we finish work early today and finish it tomorrow."

Lawyer Oshima immediately ran away as if he had received an amnesty.Leaving Sano Liu staring at him with wide-eyed condemnation: "You know these documents are very important, right?"

"Know it."

"You are now the head of the organization, please be serious."

"I will start tomorrow." Nishimura had already started to pack his things.

Liu Yu asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"We'll go to the fireworks show first, and I'll tell you later."

Kamji Nishimura involuntarily pulled Sano Ruu's wrist, and the two went downstairs and merged into the crowd.
