A Real Shinigami in the World of Detective Conan

"Yayoi-kun, you're truly amazing, to know even this! We at the police force are very grateful for your help." The fat, hat-wearing police officer's eyes shone with excitement. Altho...

Chapter 106 Revenge from Hell

Chapter 106 Revenge from Hell

Monterey, 6 p.m.

He Jing Yayoi stood at the door of the luxurious manor again. He was wearing a heavy black and gold robe, with a long golden pendant hanging from his waist to the hem, and the rings made a crisp sound as he walked.

Elizabeth wore a black gauze dress, with layers upon layers of intricate patterns. Aquamarine was strung with golden threads, dotted around her neckline. In her hand she held a bunch of white lilies tied with a light blue ribbon.

The others also knew the purpose of the banquet, and they were all dressed in dark colors, mainly black. Paulino's four surviving adult sons stood at the door to welcome the guests. On the left were the third son Fourier and the ninth son Waldman, and on the right were the eighth son Bar and the fifth son Gonzalez.

Fourier and Bar saw Elizabeth and also saw Yayoi Kazukage, so they had no intention of going forward to entertain them.

Gonzalez walked forward. He was wearing a black suit and a white gypsophila corsage. His expression was sad and gentle, like the spring breeze and summer rain. "Good evening, Elizabeth. Who is this gentleman?"

"Good evening, Brother Gonzalez. This is a new friend of mine, her name is Yayoi Kazukage." Elizabeth said gently, she took Yayoi Kazukage's arm and handed the bouquet to Gonzalez.

He Jing Yayoi bowed lightly and did not focus his eyes on Gonzalez.

Everyone present knew what happened two days ago. Seeing that Elizabeth only introduced it to this point, Gonzalez understood and did not continue to ask, "I understand. The lounge you liked before has been cleaned up. Sister Lisa and Lingna are waiting for you. You can take Mr. Jing to rest for a while."

Francesco is a conservative family, and they do not allow unmarried daughters to entertain guests on such important occasions. Although Lisa is married, she does not want to face Fourier and Bar, so she chooses to stay with Lingna.

"Thank you, Brother Gonzalez. And Brother Fourier and Brother Bal, thank you for your hard work at the banquet today." Elizabeth smiled gently and sadly.

Fourier was still willing to give his sister some face, "Elizabeth, you have worked hard all along. After today, you can do what you want. The premise is... stay away from some questionable people." His eyes were fixed on Kazukage Yayoi's face. Everyone knew who he was scolding.

Bal laughed sarcastically after hearing this, "Fourier, what you are saying is that even if Gonzalez hooks up with someone else, he is not worthy of competing with you for the position, and you want Elizabeth to get out of here as soon as possible? Oh, if the elephant falls, the vultures will certainly come to share the food. It's your fault that you are unwilling to give Elizabeth a piece of meat. Don't blame her for finding another way out."

Elizabeth heard the hostility of her two brothers. She put down the hand that was holding Jing Yasheng, lowered her eyebrows and sobbed softly, "I just want to survive. I have no right to interfere in your relationship. Why do you two brothers have to make things difficult for me?"

"Elizabeth..." Gonzalez frowned and stepped forward to block Elizabeth. "Two brothers, there's no need to get angry with an unmarried sister, right?"

Barr snorted disdainfully, then laughed sarcastically: "What a gentle brother, no wonder not only Elizabeth, but also that old woman Lisa is on your side."

Gonzalez was visibly angry, "What did you say about Lisa..."

"Sorry, everyone." He Jing Yayoi interrupted their argument, "I have no intention of listening to your family affairs. Can you allow Elizabeth and I to leave first?" No matter what the organization said to them separately, he did not appear here for the organization's business, and he did not want to be dragged around and scolded over and over again by them.

"Family affairs..." Bal bit off the word slowly, which meant that the other party did not intend to get involved in their "family affairs", so he smiled and said: "Ah, of course, please...this gentleman who shines like a gem."

He Jing Yayoi glanced at Bal's sarcastic expression when he heard this. Bal seemed to be threatening him. It seemed that the negotiations between Gin and Bal had also broken down. Both of them were very confident in their abilities and did not think they needed the help of the organization.

Kazukage Yayoi had no intention of competing for power between them, and when he saw that they both understood his hint, he nodded and left with Elizabeth.

Looking at the backs of the two, Bal pinched his chin and said, "This Lord Jewel seems to have a very different personality and status from the man named Gin who visited yesterday. He is not very interested in what happened between us."

Fourier rarely answered Bal's question, "His status is higher than Gin, at least that's what they show, but they are all members of the same organization, and it's impossible for two voices to appear. So, we can fight each other, but as for outsiders... Bal, you know what you should do, right?"

Barr squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Of course... Brother Fourier. I am a child of the royal family. How could I give the Francisco family to outsiders? They were looking for you at first, right? It seems that you have enough confidence to deal with me, otherwise you would not refuse the cooperation of an organization that looks very large."

Their probing ended here, and Fourier glanced at Bar without intending to continue the conversation.

On the other side, Elizabeth silently led Kazukage Yayoi to the lounge. She had no intention of ascending to a high position, and her willingness to cooperate with Gonzalez was just to get what they needed.

A daughter without power and influence whose parents died at her birthday party has a bad reputation. Some people in the competition may choose to "blame" Paulino's death on her for their own reputation.

For example, she announced to the public that she cursed her parents, or that she lost all her relatives because she was despised by God.

Then these superiors could use this as an excuse to kick her out of the upper social circle, or even worse, imprison her in some remote manor and prevent her from appearing again for the rest of her life.

Elizabeth's revenge was far from over, and she didn't want to face such an ending. So she and Lisa went to find Gonzalez. Although they didn't have many resources, they were daughters and had no inheritance rights. Gonzalez finally accepted their cooperation.

Lisa's demands are the same as Elizabeth's. She doesn't need to be in a high position or gain power. She just wants everyone except them to die, for her poor brother who lost his legs and her mother who died tragically.

After Paulino became famous, he abandoned his wife who had lived and died with him, and let her be captured and brutally killed by the vicious enemy. Then he used this as an excuse to wipe out the enemy's organization. He thought that the two young children did not know the truth, but the seeds of hatred had already been planted in their hearts.

Paulino killed many lovers and children. When these lovers were killed, the children would also be executed. But Lisa and Martin were different. Paulino needed them to become a symbol, a symbol to praise him for his courage to sacrifice his true love wife for the gang.

Everyone who sees these two children will remember that Paulino, in order to protect his men, endured tremendous grief and could only watch his wife being brutally murdered.

They were greatly impressed by Paulino's loyalty and courage, and thought he was a trustworthy, loyal and good boss.

When the Francisco family was prosperous and wealthy, only Lisa and Martin cried countless times in the dark and cold nights. They prayed to God to grant death to their father, brothers and sisters who laughed at them, and the spectators who watched coldly.

Everyone who sees them will, in front of them, sigh at their father's selfless dedication and describe what happened to his mother before her death.

When they were young, they tried to explain and tell people the truth, but when they grew up, they found that everyone already knew the truth.

Therefore, they hate this world.

Only Elizabeth, the girl who had a life as miserable as theirs, or even more miserable than theirs, Lisa and Martin retained the last bit of warmth. If they were a group of fledglings in the cold wind, having lost their parents’ wings, they would stand up tremblingly, support each other and survive through this cold winter.

Now that Martin has died in the cold winter, Lisa only wants to light the match in her hand to seek a glimmer of hope for herself and Elizabeth.

She looked up and saw the maid opening the door. Elizabeth was standing at the door with a smile on her face. "Sister Lisa, Lingna, good evening."

Lisa sat up slightly, and when she saw the man next to Elizabeth, her eyes became sharper, "Elizabeth, Mr. He Jing, good evening."

He Jing Yayoi was not surprised that Lisa knew his name. After all, she had sent an undercover agent to Gin, so her intelligence network was naturally not small.

"Good evening, ladies." He Jing Yayoi bowed, looked at the seat that was obviously empty for the two of them, and took Elizabeth's hand to sit over.

Elizabeth sat on his right hand and poured him a cup of black tea. "Sister Lisa's family is in the tea business. Yayoi, you should try it."

Lisa leaned on the armrest and nodded lazily. Lingna nervously pushed the dessert plate in front of He Jing Yayoi, "Mr. He Jing, these are the cakes and cookies I made, do you want to try them?"

In the face of such kindness, Kazukage Yayoi had no reason to refuse, not to mention that the tea and snacks in front of him looked very delicious. "Yes, it is indeed delicious. Thank you both ladies for the hospitality."

Only then did Lingna feel relieved and smiled happily.

Lisa saw that the atmosphere was good and that Jing Yayoi did not look like a mafia member, but more like an aristocrat. So she relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, half lying down. She pointed down meaningfully and said, "Did you see Fourier and Barr at the door? Look how proud they are, haha."

Elizabeth smiled good-naturedly: "Today, the news of their father's death will be announced, which means that they are only one step away from that position. It is normal for them to be proud. From now on, they will no longer be Fourier and Bar, but Mr. Francesco. They have wanted this name for a long time, haven't they?"

Lisa snorted in dissatisfaction. "They don't take Gonzalez seriously at all. They look at me like a bug. It's not certain who will win or lose yet, but now they are pretending to be winners. It's disgusting."

Elizabeth didn't answer. She held the cup and smiled. It was true that Lisa was very kind to her, but just as she had hidden things from Lisa, Lisa had also hidden things from her. It would be better for them not to talk about topics that were too in-depth.

"Well, um, Sister Lisa, are you going to go down and listen to their announcement about our father later?" Lingna asked hesitantly, "I'm worried that they will make trouble at that time... My brother may be fine, but you and Sister Elizabeth..."

Lisa shrugged. "I don't care. They can kill or chop him up as they please. But Elizabeth, since you brought Mr. He Jing here, it proves that you are worried about this, right?"

Elizabeth covered her mouth and smiled slightly, "As expected, Sister Lisa. With Yayoi here, they won't touch me, at least not today."

Seeing that Lisa was a straightforward person, He Jing Yayoi also agreed with a smile, "Even if it's a family matter, we won't tear each other apart in front of outsiders. Elizabeth is under my protection. Without knowing the scale of the organization behind me, I believe they will not go against me just to execute a sister who has no interest in me."

Lisa looked at them inquiringly, her eyes were deep, as if she was experiencing a fierce psychological struggle, and then she smiled sincerely. This experienced lady obviously had her own plans. She slowly said: "Tonight will be long, not everyone can welcome tomorrow."

He Jing Yayoi picked up the teacup and took a sip. Indeed, he had seen three people dying tonight. But what did this have to do with him, a murderer who was planning to kill people?
