"Still thinking about your father?"
"Yeah." Yurina nodded. "Over the years, I have never had a good impression of him. In addition, I thought he owed money to someone else and didn't pay it back, which caused me and Grandma Tsuru to become homeless, so I hated him even more...
But this time I suddenly realized that he seemed to be different from what I knew.
Debts, wanted, underworld searches, and legal pursuits... Perhaps the story behind this is not as simple as I thought."
Lin Qiye nodded in agreement.
"So, you're going to..."
"Go to Osaka." A firm look appeared in Yurina's eyes. "No matter what, go and get his belongings back. Take one last look at him. Maybe... you can learn something about his past."
"Okay." Lin Qiye asked again, "What about Grandma He? Does she trust you?"
"I've had a good talk with grandma. Although she didn't want me to take the risk, I insisted. Later, she gave up and told me to be careful on the road." Yurina continued, "I've booked a nursing home for grandma Tsuru and paid the money. Someone will come to pick her up tomorrow."
"Nursing home?" Lin Qiye was stunned. "When did you book it?"
Yurina lowered her head and was silent for a moment, "The day before I committed suicide..."
"Have you already thought about what to do after committing suicide?" This time it was Lin Qiye's turn to be surprised. "I always thought you were just committing suicide on impulse."
Yurina shook her head. "During that time, the gangsters were looking for my whereabouts like crazy. My house was smashed and they were waiting at every intersection to block me. If it was just me, I wouldn't be afraid of them, but Grandma Tsuru is old. If she was involved... it would be more painful than if I died.
But I know that if I continue like this, they will find me sooner or later.
I didn't want to bring trouble to Grandma Tsuru, so I used all our family savings to book a nursing home for her, which was enough for her to live in for a long time, leaving only 20,000 yen for emergencies.
As long as I die, the gang will stop chasing me, and they won't chase Grandma He, and she can get away. "
Lin Qiye was thoughtful. "So, the phone call you made to the police before you committed suicide was intended to let them spread the news of your death while retrieving your body. This would both let the gangsters know about it and give up, and at the same time prevent Grandma He from finding your body and then letting the gangsters know of her existence?"
"Um."
Lin Qiye turned his head and looked carefully at the girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, his eyes full of shock.
This kind of method... could a child really come up with it?
“It would be such a pity if a child like you died.” Lin Qiye shook his head.
"Maybe Lord Daikokuten, the god of fortune, thought so too? So he sent you to save me." A bright smile appeared on Yurina's lips.
"I don't believe in any lucky gods." Lin Qiye said, "I only believe in my own sword."
"If you say something like that here, you'll get arrested, right?"
“They can’t catch me.”
Yurina looked up and looked into Lin Qiye's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, you are not actually from here, right?"
Lin Qiye was a little surprised, "Why do you think so?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone drifting over from the sea. Your way of thinking is different from ours. It feels like you're from another world." Yurina added, "And your two subordinates are obviously not normal people!"
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, "Maybe. Then, do you want to report me to the police? Maybe you can get a nice reward."
"You are the messenger sent by the God of Fortune to save me. How could I report you?" Yurina said seriously, "Besides, I can feel that you are a very good person and will not harm me."
Lin Qiye smiled helplessly, "Go back to bed early. We'll leave for Osaka early tomorrow morning."
…
The next morning, Yurina sent Grandma Tsuru to the car to the nursing home.
Previously, Yurina had used up all her savings to subscribe to a five-year nursing home package for Grandma Tsuru, but now the crisis has been resolved. When she returns from Osaka, she can get the money back and only needs to pay for the care for these few days.
When she returns from Osaka to pick up Grandma He, she will return the money. Together with the money Lin Qiye gave them, it will be enough for them to have a place to stay in the suburbs of another small city, and then everything can start all over again.
Yurina had already made her own plan in mind.
After settling Grandma He down, she followed Lin Qiye onto the Shinkansen to Osaka.
The advantage of the Shinkansen is that you don't need to show any ID. You just need to buy a ticket and go whenever you want. Even Lin Qiye can take the Shinkansen openly and travel comfortably to Osaka. After all, it is quite tiring to ride all the way there.
Yurina sat by the window, curiously looking at the scenery passing by outside the window. It was also her first time to leave Yokohama by Shinkansen, so she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Oh, right." Yurina seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Lin Qiye, "Brother, you don't have a Japanese name yet, right? If you don't have a name, many things will be inconvenient."
Lin Qiye nodded.
Indeed, up to now, he has not given himself a pseudonym. If he encounters some trouble after arriving in Osaka, it may be too late to think of a name now...
"How about I give you one?" Yurina's eyes lit up, "Brother, what's your real name?"
"Lin Qiye."
"Nanaye..." Yurina thought for a moment, "As for the last name, how about Asaba? I always think this last name sounds nice."
"Qianyu Qiye?" Lin Qiye nodded slightly, "Okay."
He didn't know much about Japanese surnames and didn't want to dwell on it too much. It was just a pseudonym anyway, so as long as people wouldn't find it strange when they said it, it would be fine.
After about two hours, the train finally arrived at Osaka Station. Lin Qiye, wearing a mask and a hat, deliberately avoided surveillance and walked out of the station.
Seen from outside the station, Osaka and Yokohama seem to be no different, with modern metropolises standing everywhere. Only by standing on a high place can one see some ancient Japanese buildings in the distance, but Lin Qiye is not interested in this, after all, he is not a tourist.
"Let's go directly to the police station." Lin Qiye said to Yurina.
About half an hour later, the two arrived at the door of the Osaka Police Station.
"Hello, how can I help you?" As I walked into the lobby of the police station, a female police officer spoke respectfully in a thick Kansai accent.
"Come and claim the relic." Lin Qiye pointed at Yurina beside him, "The relic of Yuri Hei-tetsu, a wanted criminal of the "Fierce Ghost" level."
