Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 394 391. The Girl from the Qinggong Temple Family

The sky gradually darkened, and on the coast of Tokyo Bay, in a seaside villa of the Seimiya family.

"Miss, please come in." An old maid with a hunched back opened the door with a respectful attitude.

A girl in a police uniform and coat walked in, looked around with a cold look, and said:

"I am back."

Of course, no one responded.

as always.

Qing Gong Eliza knew that her father was at home at this time, but he would never greet his children returning home with a smile and say "Welcome back" like the fathers in family TV dramas.

Besides, ever since her mother died, Qing Gong Eliza always felt that her father began to deliberately avoid her.

"Miss, you have worked hard just after coming back from school." The old maid skillfully took the girl's cowhide schoolbag and coat, placed them on the shelf beside her, and planned to change the girl's shoes.

"No need, I can change it myself."

Qing Palace Eliza took off her shoes, put on slippers and went into the house.

She looked out the window and it was already completely dark.

She went to school today to handle some formalities. After all, she is approaching graduation from high school, which can be said to be a turbulent time.

I had originally planned to get home in the afternoon, but there was a traffic jam on the road, which delayed me for an hour. By the time I got home, it was already dark, which ruined my mood for the day.

Probably because of the frequent murders during this period, the level of alert in Tokyo has increased. Police can be seen questioning people on the streets everywhere, and police checkpoints have been set up on many main roads, which has led to serious traffic jams.

"Oh, if only I were still in the Public Security Bureau." Qingmiya Eliza covered her head and murmured with a sigh: "I really want to know what big things happened in Tokyo recently."

Three months ago, Qing Gong Eliza was suspended from public security.

It wasn't because she did anything wrong, but her boss asked her to temporarily suspend her work and rest for a period of time on the grounds of "focusing on further studies" while she took care of school affairs.

It is said that this was also what her father meant.

Qing Gong Eliza had no choice but to understand this and could only accept the arrangement while suppressing her impatience.

In the year that Kyushu Makoto disappeared, she searched for the boy's whereabouts while continuing to hunt down the KJ organization.

At the same time, she also had a bold guess that the two things she wanted to investigate might be inextricably linked.

During this year, she found important clues several times and thought she had a new breakthrough, but each time she found nothing. It seemed that she was only one step away from the truth, but yet she was thousands of miles away.

During this year, she also tried to form her own team, just as she had said to Kyushu Makoto at the banquet.

She has looked for many talents, but none of them could satisfy her.

Perhaps even she, with her awkward personality, had to admit frankly that in her heart, only Jiuzhou Cheng was the undisputed No. 1, and no one else could catch up.

In summary, she seemed to have done a lot and put in a lot of hard work in the past year. But looking back, it was all useless work with no progress.

Perhaps everything is just as her boss said to her before she was suspended: "After all, you are just a high school student, and there are limits to what you can do. Even if you don't achieve any grand goals, it's not a bad idea to regard your efforts during this period as a valuable life experience."

However, such words were of little comfort to her, nor did they make her feel proud. She knew that she was much better than most of her peers, but she also knew that her abilities and achievements were due to the name "Qinggong Temple".

If not for this, she might not be as capable as that poor boy Jiuzhou Cheng.

"Hiss, I thought of him again for no reason." Qinggong Eliza covered her slightly aching forehead and muttered to herself.

After taking a few deep breaths, Qinggong Eliza finally calmed down and said to the old maid, "I'm going back to my room to rest. Call me for dinner."

"Okay, miss." The old maid gave a standard bow and said, "By the way, the master will not be back tonight, and neither will the other masters, mistresses, young masters and young ladies. You will be the only one dining then."

"Really?" Qinggong Eliza raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised: "Did they say what they were going to do outside?"

"The master didn't tell us, young lady." The old maid shook her head: "He just told us to arrange everything as usual."

"Is that so?" Qing Gong Eliza frowned.

In the past week, more than a dozen relatives have come to Qinggong Eliza's home, all of whom are seniors with high status in the Qinggong Temple family. These seniors also brought their families and luggage, saying that they would stay with the host for a few weeks.

As for the reason, Qing Palace Eliza was not clear, she only heard that some major event or plan was being prepared.

The seaside villa of the Qinggong Temple family is very large, large enough to accommodate nearly a hundred people. In addition, Qinggong Eliza is often busy at school until very late, and she only goes home to have a midnight snack and sleep, so she doesn't mind these guests.

But tonight, all of them went out, leaving her alone at home, and they didn't even inform her in advance.

This made Qing Palace Eliza feel quite puzzled, and she had no idea what her father and others were planning.

But after thinking about it, she didn't think her father was going to do anything bad to her.

Since her mother's death, her father has become distant from her. But even so, Kiyomiya Takikiyo still strictly fulfills his father's duties and never treats his daughter unfairly.

Although Qing Gong Eliza knew that her father did this mostly for his own reputation, she had no right to complain. She could only continue to enjoy and use this impure "father's love" with full knowledge.

"Forget it. Thank you for your hard work." Qinggong Eliza waved her hand and walked towards her study.

Before I knew it, the clock in the study had already pointed to seven o'clock in the evening.

Qing Gong Eliza sat dignifiedly at her desk, writing furiously, writing a summary report on her experience in the public security over the past few years. This was the "graduation work" that their "special students" had to hand in to the school before graduation.

"Strange." She looked up and glanced at the clock: "It's already seven o'clock. Is dinner not ready yet?"

Usually, the Qinggongsi family's dinner time starts at six o'clock.

Even if she was the only one at home today, the servants would not be able to neglect her, after all, she was the eldest daughter of the Qinggong Temple family.

Qinggong Eliza stretched, got up and went out to check the situation.

"What's going on?" As soon as she went out, she realized something was wrong: "Why are the lights off?"

All the lights in the corridor were off, and the entire villa was dark. One could only barely see the situation through the moonlight outside the window.

Qing Palace Eliza immediately became alert; her experience and intuition made her feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

She immediately went back to the study and took out a pistol loaded with special rubber bullets for police use. This was what she brought out when she was suspended from the police, and her boss asked her to keep it as a souvenir.

Although Wano Country is a country where guns are banned, it is common for aristocratic ladies like her to collect one or two guns.

After loading the pistol, Qinggong Eliza walked out of the study carefully and walked out step by step.

As she continued to grope forward, she actually smelled a pungent smell of blood, coming from multiple places.

Qing Palace Eliza's experience told her that this was the terrible smell that could only be found at a murder scene, but why did it appear in her home now?

“Ahhhh no—!” Suddenly, a shrill male scream was heard not far away, echoing in the dark corridor, which was particularly harsh.

But the screams soon stopped.

"It's the voice of my servant!" Qinggong Eliza shuddered subconsciously and quickly stuck to the wall to be on guard.

Did robbers break into the house? However, this villa has strict security measures, and it is impossible for robbers to get in, and it is impossible for robbers to dare to target this place for looting.

Or was it an enemy seeking revenge? Although the Qinggong Temple family could not be called a benevolent family, they would not easily make enemies with others and had never offended anyone.

Qinggong Eliza just felt confused and couldn't figure out what had happened at home for a while.

Her instinct told her to run away, but where could she run to? This was already home.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to follow the sound of the screams to find out what was going on.

Even if there were robbers in her house, the gun in her hand was not just a decoration. Before she joined the police, she passed the police shooting test with excellent results, which gave her the qualification to carry a gun.

After making up her mind, Qing Gong Eliza moved along the wall towards the source of the scream, trying to keep her footsteps as quiet as possible while keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings with a gun. This could be said to be a textbook-standard military skill.

Soon, she sneaked to a corner of the corridor, cautiously poked her head out, and sure enough, she found... the body of a male servant!

A strange man was standing next to the body of the servant.

Through the moonlight, Qing Palace Eliza saw the man's appearance clearly.

The man was covered in blood, had long black hair, and his exposed skin was as dry and yellow as a mummy, and he had a crazy energy all over his body. He held a shotgun in each hand and a machete hung behind his back.

It goes without saying that this strange man was the "invader" who killed her male servant.

Qing Palace Eliza lowered her head to look at the body of the male servant again, and suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

The upper part of the butler's head was completely missing, and there were traces of rough biting, as if it had been eaten!
What frightened Qing Gong Eliza even more was that, although she thought her stealth skills were excellent and she did not make any noise, the moment she poked her head out from the corner, the man turned his head and looked straight at her, obviously having discovered her.

"Put your hands up! Don't move!" Qing Gong Eliza simply gave up hiding, pretended to be calm and walked out from the corner, pointing the gun at the man, and warned and questioned in a police tone:
"Tell me your name and the reason for your presence here! And this body, did you kill him?"

"." The man said nothing. He stretched his muscles and walked towards the girl, as if he was walking towards his next prey.

"Stop! Otherwise I will shoot!" Qinggong Eliza was shocked, thinking that this man was not afraid of being pointed at by a gun!

Did he conclude that he didn't dare to shoot because he saw that she was a young girl? !
Qingmiya Eliza placed her finger on the trigger and pressed down slightly.

If he thinks I'm just an ordinary high school girl, he's totally wrong! She thought with disdain in her heart, planning to shoot him directly after the man gets close enough.

"How cunning, Kiyomiyaji Takikiyo." The man suddenly spoke to himself, his voice hoarse and with a mocking smile:

"He guessed that I might come tonight, so he took everyone away in advance, leaving only his bastard daughter at home as a sacrifice."

“What did you say?” Qinggong Eliza’s eyes were dazed, but she still warned: “This is the last warning! Stop, don’t come any closer!!”

At the same time, a very absurd idea arose in her mind.

For some reason, she felt that the man's hoarse voice and terrifying appearance combined made her feel somewhat familiar, and even reminded her of someone.

A boy she once cared about but suddenly disappeared.

"Jiuzhou Cheng, it's impossible. Impossible." She murmured in disbelief, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

But as the man got closer, this absurd idea seemed to become clearer and clearer, just as the man's face became clearer and clearer under the moonlight.
Although his face was hideous, his skin was as dry as a corpse, his facial features had changed slightly, and his temperament was very different, Qing Gong Eliza could recognize him. This man was clearly wearing Jiuzhou Makoto's face!!!
"Why?" For a moment, Qinggong Eliza was stunned, even though she knew very well that this was an extremely dangerous behavior.

"But this has nothing to do with me~" The man laughed strangely again, and suddenly raised the shotgun and pointed it at Qing Gong Eliza's forehead:

"Since I'm here tonight, I'll kill them all the same no matter who they are!"

Bang! ...
The moment she saw the man raising his gun, Qinggong Eliza's head suddenly got hot and she pulled the trigger reflexively, emptying the bullet at the man.

She knew that if she hesitated for a moment longer, her advantage in the confrontation would be completely lost.

Even if it was a rubber bullet, it would be painful for an ordinary person. Moreover, Qing Palace Eliza's shooting skills were amazing, and every shot was aimed at the enemy's weak points.

Even the criminals who had drunk the [holy medicine] had never been able to withstand a volley of rubber bullets from Qing Gong Eliza head-on.

Rubber bullets rained down on the man's weak spots, and some of them even penetrated directly into his withered skin.

The man's body shook a few times as the bullets hit him, and he stopped walking. But he had no intention of falling to the ground, and there was no expression of pain on his face.

The next moment, the man suddenly grinned and pointed his gun at the girl again:
"Nice resistance, but that's it~"

"Just go to hell. I will send your family and the murderer of your mother down with you. Hahahaha!"

"Why?" Qinggong Eliza widened her eyes and froze in place.

Being pointed at with a shotgun by a terrifying man who looked like Kyushu Makoto, and seeing the man's finger pulling the trigger, Qinggong Eliza felt every part of her body go cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cave and could not move. She even lost the strength to continue resisting.

However, just before the man pulled the trigger, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from the corner of the corridor, knocked Qing Gong Eliza to the ground, and then pinned the girl to the ground with standard military grappling techniques.

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, but he didn't seem that surprised.

He put away his gun and snorted, "What kind of stupid things are you doing, [Dusk Shadow]?"

"At least let her keep the child." The person who came was Shiris. She seemed to be capturing and suppressing the girl, but in fact, she was more like protecting the girl under her body and blocking the muzzle of Hong Zhongjin's gun.

"Everyone in the Qinggong Temple family must be killed. This is the consensus we all reached." Hong Zhongjin said coldly: "Is your hatred limited to this extent? Have you become soft-hearted after seeing the children?"

"." Shirley simply pressed Qinggong Eliza completely under her body, preventing her from exposing any part that could be attacked.

Then, Silis looked up at Hong Zhongjin, and a hint of pleading appeared in her haggard blue eyes:

"You know, this kid is absolutely innocent and she..."

"And she is the only child left by your good sister, right?" Hong Zhongjin curled his lips in disdain, put away his gun and turned away:

"Forget it, there's so much trouble. I'll leave this bastard girl for you to kill. Don't let me see her again."

"." Shiris held her breath and watched Hong Zhongjin walk ten steps away before she loosened her control slightly to allow Qinggong Eliza to breathe.

"Don't waste time, our work is not finished yet." After walking a little further away, Hong Zhongjin stopped and gave the order.

"Is it the aftermath handling work here?" Hillis said quickly: "I understand. I will handle it."

"Idiot, you're going to kill Qing Gongsi Takiqing and the beasts of the Qing Gongsi family!" Hong Zhongjin cursed:

"Those bastards heard about other families being wiped out, so they fled in the afternoon, leaving only a bastard daughter here to die. Fortunately, I already know their location, so I'm going over there now!"

"Yes, yes!" Hillis nodded and said softly, "I'll be there soon."
