Meet on JD.com
During the red leaves season in Kyoto, Japan, Yue Lanxiu came here not to admire the red leaves, but to find someone.
The environment here is quiet and beautiful. The person he is looking for lives a peaceful and comfortable life. He is not here to destroy it, but debts owed must be repaid! He can't let others bear the burden!
It was already dark. Yue Lanxiu stood at the door of a villa and hesitated for a while, then decided to come back during the day. The other party should be asleep at this time. There was only a dim light on in the bedroom in the entire villa.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a car driving towards him from a distance. There was only this villa in this direction, so Yue Lanxiu quickly hid behind a big tree.
A black SUV pulled up at the entrance to the villa, allowing Yue Lanxiu to clearly see what was happening. Several people got out. They were all tall, strong, and powerful. It was obvious they were not to be trifled with! They looked like gangsters!
Sure enough, they opened the door in an abnormal way and broke in!
Yue Lanxiu narrowed his sharp eyes slightly. He wanted this family to have a good sleep again, but others didn’t think so!
Soon, a man and a woman were brought out and asked to get into the car! Although the man and woman did not scream or shout, it was not difficult to guess from their terrified faces that they were forced and threatened.
It seemed his luck wasn't very good; the person he was looking for was among the couple, but he didn't rush forward to save them. Firstly, this was their territory, and secondly, they were armed. He decided not to act rashly.
The car started up quickly and sped away, not forgetting to destroy all the cameras before leaving.
Yue Lanxiu followed closely behind. Although his two legs couldn't outrun four wheels, he had already secretly placed a tracking device on the other car without anyone noticing.
Following the tracker, he finally found the car in front of a high-end-looking bar.
As soon as he entered the vibrant, bustling entertainment venue, a beautiful, voluptuous woman approached him. Yue Lanxiu raised an eyebrow, flattered, and naturally welcomed her advances. Just as the woman was about to offer a kiss, he suddenly pushed her away, having noticed the thugs in the SUV.
He quickly followed, leaving behind the beautiful woman with an extremely ugly expression.
He kidnapped one of the thugs to a deserted place, fed him a sleeping pill, and asked, "Where are the man and woman you kidnapped now?"
"In a dark room."
"Why are you kidnapping people?"
"Miss Nell's orders."
Hearing this, Yue Lanxiu's eyelids twitched, "Which Miss Naier is this? What's her last name?"
"Last name: Xia."
Yue Lanxiu's mouth twitched involuntarily. This shouldn't be the person he knew, haha!
"Where is Miss Neil now? Take me to her immediately." He felt he had to confirm it. After all, considering how active she was, it wasn't completely impossible!
Yue Lanxiu followed behind the gangster, keeping a proper distance between them to avoid attracting attention.
The gangster took him to the door of a room and asked him to find a corner and have a comfortable sleep.
He did not enter through the door, but found another entrance, such as the balcony, and entered the room without being noticed.
There was no one on the bed in the bedroom, and the light in the bathroom was on, so there might be someone in there.
But he had been waiting for more than ten minutes, and the person in the bathroom showed no intention of coming out, and there was no movement at all!
No one inside?
He walked silently to check, and was surprised to find someone soaking comfortably in the bathtub! Only the head was exposed!
From his angle, he could see her face clearly, but unfortunately, the woman was wearing a facial mask! So he still couldn't confirm her identity.
Should I just wait for her to peel off the mask? But the woman's eyes were lightly closed, and she was probably almost asleep in such comfort!
After a while, the person in the bathtub didn't move at all.
He didn't really fall asleep, did he?
As if in response to him, the person in the bathtub began to snore, one louder than the other!
How long will it take for this sow to wake up? How about he help her remove the mask?
He walked over and squatted beside the bathtub, keeping his eyes politely fixed on her face with her eyes closed, without looking into the water.
He took a deep breath secretly, raised his hand and carefully peeled off the mask.
Just as he successfully tore off the mask and said "OK" inwardly, the other person's eyes suddenly opened and met his gaze!
Yue Lanxiu stared at the familiar face in front of him, nearly having a heart attack! Not only because the other person suddenly opened his eyes, but mainly because this guy was the Chanel he knew!
This isn't a sow! It's a tigress!
And it was a tigress who was woken up!
It's over! He'll be beaten to death! How can he explain that he's not being a hooligan by being here? How can he convince her that he's not here to peek at her taking a bath?
"Why are you here?"
A voice so cold it made one's body tremble, a look so cold it chilled one's heart! As expected, he had guessed that she would ask this!
"Of course it's because you are thinking about me, otherwise why would I appear in your dream?" He started to deceive while stepping back step by step without forgetting to slip away.
"I really miss you, I miss your..." Asahiro's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. She put her hands on the edge of the bathtub, rested her head on her arms, looked at him tenderly in her eyes, and deliberately said half of her words.
The gentle and coquettish words made him forget to run away. The sweet and seductive smile spread across the fair and rosy face, making him forget to think. He could only say blankly, "What do you miss about me?"
"I wonder if your skin is itchy again!" The scene suddenly changed, and Chao Rirou suddenly picked up the soap box at hand and threw it at him.
Don't think she was truly asleep. She'd noticed someone approaching the bathroom, and she'd feigned sleep just to see what they were up to! She hadn't expected them to rip the mask off her face! Even more surprising was that this sneaky person was Yue Lanxiu! Why was he even here?!
Yue Lanxiu, who was completely bewildered, was obviously a beat slower to react. He dodged the soap box with his head, but his feet could not avoid the soap that fell out of the box. He slipped, and bang - his forehead hit the ground with a heavy kiss!
"profound!"
"It hurts, right? If it hurts, it proves you're not dreaming!" Asahiro stood up calmly, picked up her yukata and put it on, then stepped over him and walked out.
"Ouch!" She didn't fall to death but was almost trampled to death! The damn girl was as arrogant and rude as ever!
"So what are you here for? Explain it to me word for word!" She sat down in front of the dressing table and applied skin care products.
"I'll hit you back with this sentence exactly like a baseball!" Yue Lanxiu got up from the ground, walked out of the bathroom, and looked at her resentfully in the mirror.
The two looked at each other in the mirror, each lost in thought.
"Could it be..." The two spoke in unison. Although no one said anything else, their thoughts were clear.
"I was originally thinking about whether to contact him, but it seems that it is unnecessary! Humph!" Asahirou muttered.
"You—" Yue Lanxiu originally wanted to say, "Next time you take any action, you must report it to me in advance, otherwise..." Otherwise what? What else can he do to her?! Besides, she would be obedient, otherwise it would be a miracle!
"Why did you arrest him?" he changed the subject.
"I thought you used to be quite sharp, but how come you haven't been so sharp since we last saw each other? Now that he's changed his name, it proves he doesn't want to talk about the past anymore. So if you ask him nicely, he might not respond. It would only waste time and alert the enemy! That's not a good idea! The only way is to use force. I'm not afraid he won't tell me, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it!"
"You said it yourself, you're afraid he can't bear it, so don't kill him!" He said, leaning against the wardrobe with his arms folded across his chest.
"If you're worried, I'll take you to see it. Anyway, I can't sleep with you showing up like this!"
Yue Lanxiu stared at her without blinking, his handsome eyes full of thought. He hadn't expected her to investigate this far, to discover that Xia Tianhan's long-deceased secretary was actually still alive! And she'd even come all the way to Japan to investigate! Even more astonishing was the fact that she seemed to wield considerable influence in the shadows! Who was this woman, the head of the Japanese Communist Party? She was truly filled with secrets!
"Don't think too much, how could I be the big sister here! This bar is opened by a friend of mine, and the power here also belongs to her!" Sister, I am the international big sister!
I wonder if this guy will stay away from her and avoid her like the plague after he knows her true identity?
She didn't want him to know!
Asahiro stood up and walked towards the closet, intending to change her clothes.
"Well, you should be the worm in my stomach!" Yue Lanxiu stared at the woman who walked in front of him and dared only nag secretly.
Asahiro suddenly hooked her finger at him, motioning him to come closer.
"What are you doing?" Yue Lanxiu leaned over curiously.
He didn't want Asahirou to suddenly open the door of the wardrobe. He didn't have time to dodge, and there was a sound of nose and door panel hitting each other!
"Oh——" Yue Lanxiu screamed again!
Just as I was about to complain, she said, "I'm definitely not a worm in your stomach!"
I’m convinced! Yue Lanxiu’s face, bleeding from his nose, was filled with the expression “SURRENDER”!
Asahirou took him to another room, which contained a large LCD screen.
Asahirou turned on the screen, and everything in the dark room suddenly appeared before her eyes.
The darkroom was truly dim, lit only by a few broken lamps on the wall. It looked like a torture cell. Indeed, there was a man hanging by his hands, seemingly having fainted after being tortured.
Asahirou picked up the remote control and pressed it, and the image on the screen quickly changed to a video with her subordinates.
"How about asking anything?"
"Yes! He originally said he was Kimura Saburo, not Mu Saburo, and he didn't know Xia Tianhan. But under our coercion and intimidation, he has admitted that he is Mu Saburo, the Mu Saburo who used to be Xia Tianhan's secretary!" The man on the screen answered respectfully. He is Shimizu, one of April Sakura's right-hand men.
"Well done!" Asahirou praised.
Qingshui continued speaking clearly, word for word, "He refused to admit that he had anything to do with the extermination of the Fu and Tang families. Even after we tortured him, he only admitted to helping Xia Tianhan do many evil things! He was afraid that the truth would be revealed and he would be implicated, so he faked his death in a car accident and hid in Japan, changing his name! This was also Xia Tianhan's suggestion, and Xia Tianhan also gave him a very generous sum of money!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lanxiu and Zhao Rirou frowned, their expressions becoming serious. Yue Lanxiu asked, "What did he admit to?"
Qingshui said succinctly, "After the Fu family got into trouble, there were originally well-known lawyers willing to sue for them and overturn the verdict, but for some reason they stopped taking action later! We investigated carefully and found out that it was Xia Tianhan's secretary who contacted them! Secretary Mu Sanlang has admitted that it was Xia Tianhan's order! We also found out that Mu Sanlang bribed some special people to spread rumors that the Fu and Tang families were actually at odds. The Fu family was very ambitious and was secretly expanding its power with the goal of one day replacing the Tang family's status and power! Mu Sanlang also admitted that it was Xia Tianhan who asked him to do this! He also confessed that the reason Xia Tianhan asked him to do these things was because the deaths of the Tang family were actually caused by Xia Tianhan and an outsider. As for who that outsider was, he said he had never seen him!"
"It was really bitten to death!" Chao Rirou said meaningfully.
She always felt that Xia Tianhan was being framed! There was something wrong with this Mu Sanlang!
I glanced at Yue Lanxiu beside me, wanting to know what he was thinking, but I was distracted by the sight of his handsome brows furrowed in thought. This guy's profile was also incredibly handsome!
"I was planning to use severe punishment to see if he would stick to his word..." Qingshui's voice brought her back to her senses quickly.
"I think he might be hungry, so he can't remember some things. I suggest we make him some midnight snack!" Yue Lanxiu suddenly said to Asahi Judo.
"Ah?" Qingshui was confused and had no idea what he was thinking.
"Feed him some bloody pieces of raw pork!" How could Asarirou not understand the meaning behind his words?
Qingshui now understood what they meant! He imagined eating bloody raw meat, and his chest was churning. Just thinking about it made him sick! This perverted trick was okay!
Yue Lanxiu raised his right eyebrow, "You're going too far!"
Qingshui glanced at Yue Lanxiu. This man came from the Virgin Mary Concentration Camp. Could it be that he really wanted to feed him braised pork?
"What do you think?" There was a cake on the table that Asahirou had someone prepare, and she picked up a piece and asked.
"Isn't rat meat or cockroach meat better? I wonder if the price of pork has gone up again recently?" Yue Lanxiu looked guilty for the waste.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think of that." Asahirou looked at the stunned Qingshui and ordered, "Did you hear me? Go and prepare it quickly!" After that, she started to eat the cake with relish.
"Give him some more beer. How can we eat meat without beer?" Yue Lanxiu also picked up a piece of cake and added.
Asahirou immediately continued, "Did you hear that? Prepare some more beer. Good quality, the kind you get in the bathroom!"
"Oh, right! There's also sauce. It's in the toilet anyway!" Yue Lanxiu added.
"Got it!" Qingshui secretly sighed. He had to apologize to the saints! The man in front of him was simply from the devil's concentration camp! And he was at the level of a leading cadre!
Looking at the two people who were eating happily, Qingshui was extremely impressed. He almost vomited, but they could still eat!
What's their relationship? Are they a couple? They look like a couple! A pair of perverts!
After the screen turned off, the two of them just focused on eating. After a while, Asahirou broke the silence and asked, "Do you believe him?"
Yue Lanxiu naturally knew that the "he" she was referring to was Mu Sanlang, and without thinking, he replied, "I don't believe it!"
"The reason is because you trust the silly old man in our family? Can I think so?" The silly old man of course refers to Xia Tianhan.
Yue Lanxiu didn't answer immediately. He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Of course I believe him."
"Then why have you never asked the old man about this? After all, he is also involved!" Zhao Rirou saw his brows furrowed and continued, "Are you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
Yue Lanxiu closed his eyes and seemed to take a deep breath. This woman's eyes were poisonous! Nothing could be hidden from her.
He opened his eyes and turned to her, "As a family member, I trust him 100%! But as a detective, I can't be so sentimental."
He spoke earnestly, his eyes carefully observing her expression, hoping she could understand him and not distance herself from him. He actually cared about her opinion! After all, he considered her family! He thought so.
"You did the right thing. There's no need to look at me with such an apologetic look." Although she said it casually, it was from the heart.
Yue Lanxiu seemed to feel that the stone piling up in his heart was lessened.
Next, Asahi Rou and Yue Lanxiu watched the surveillance video of Mu Saburo's previous interrogation.
"Then Mu Sanlang must have been bribed! Who on earth has such a deep hatred for our old man that he wants to frame him like this?" Chao Rirou wanted to know if Yue Lanxiu had any clues.
"I thought so at first, so I kept investigating based on who the old man had a grudge against, but there wasn't anyone suspicious! Although some people don't have a very good relationship with the old man, they really aren't that good!" Yue Lanxiu frowned slightly, his rare serious look always making people fascinated.
"You mean it was done by an acquaintance? Or someone with a better relationship?" Asahiro said, staring at his profile.
Yue Lanxiu was lost in thought, silent.
Asahirou knew that he wouldn't say anything without solid evidence.
"That person should have a good relationship with Mu Sanlang!" Yue Lanxiu inferred.
Asahirou was puzzled. "Why? Isn't it just a matter of you paying and me doing the work?"
"Have you observed Mu Sanlang's expression carefully? Rather than saying he's swearing to death that Xia Tianhan is the murderer, it's more like he's swearing to defend someone."
After he said this, Zhao Rirou realized this. "At this point, there is no reason for him not to confess the real murderer. Unless he has a grudge against Xia Tianhan and is determined to frame him, there is another possibility, which is what you said."
Yue Lanxiu continued, "But I didn't see much hatred in his expression. I only saw his anxiety and uneasiness, eager to stop us from investigating further."
"Who do you think he's protecting? Family? But he doesn't have any family! Lover? But according to investigations, he falls in love with every woman he meets and changes women very frequently! Benefactor? Xia Tianhan is very good to him and takes good care of him on a daily basis, so he can be considered a benefactor, but how does he repay him?"
Yue Lanxiu did not respond, still thinking about something.
After a while, Qingshui called to report that Mu Sanlang had fainted three times due to nausea and there was no progress in the interrogation.
"It seems that this move is too strong!" Chao Rirou asked Yue Lanxiu if he had any other tricks to make him tell the truth as soon as possible.
Yue Lanxiu thought about it and decided to go into battle himself.
In the dark room, Mu Sanlang slowly and laboriously opened his lifeless eyes.
He was a little surprised by the man and woman who came into his sight. They looked so young and pure, and they were out of place in this dark and dirty environment.
"You're finally awake. I have something to ask you. To be exact, they have something to ask you." The man in front of him, who looked like a harmless animal, glanced at him and turned to the person behind him.
But there's no one behind this man, only a table! What the hell is going on?
The man seemed to be about to answer him, but suddenly moved to the right side of the table so that he could see the several photo frames on the table clearly.
Mu Sanlang's curious eyes were immediately replaced by panic when he saw the faces of the people in the photo frames.
Seeing this, Chao Rirou and Yue Lanxiu secretly exchanged evil glances.
The people in those photo frames are dead. They are the Tang and Fu families who were brutally wiped out decades ago.
Mu Sanlang didn't dare to stare at the photos anymore. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself, "It's none of my business. Don't come looking for me. It really has nothing to do with me. If you want to find someone, you should look for..." He suddenly stopped talking and bit his lips tightly, fearing that he would reveal it.
There was no follow-up at the critical moment, so Asahiro took the opportunity to ask, "Who should I look for?"
Mu Sanlang shuddered with fear, but when he saw that the person who spoke was Zhao Rirou, his emotions recovered and he gradually regained his composure. He tried to speak calmly, "Of course, I'm looking for Xia Tianhan! Who are you trying to scare by making a few pictures of dead people? I've made it very clear just now, if you want to find someone, look for Xia Tianhan! He's the mastermind behind all this!"
Chao Rirou and Yue Lanxiu looked at each other and felt that the person he almost blurted out just now was not Xia Tianhan.
"We don't mean to scare you, but they really have something to ask you." Yue Lanxiu said seriously.
Mu Sanlang snorted disdainfully, "Playing tricks! Who are you? What on earth do you want to do?"
Asahi stepped forward with a gentle smile. "Actually, my brother is an exorcist. It's his job to slay demons and liberate the souls of the dead! Don't look at his young age, he's already handled no less than a hundred paranormal cases! It's just that this case is a bit difficult. These undead souls, no! To be more precise, they're wronged souls! Their resentment is too strong, and they won't be liberated! Unless we can help them find the real murderer who killed them! And bring the real murderer to justice, these wronged souls will let go of everything and reincarnate!"
"It's a ghost story!" Mu Sanlang said he didn't believe it, but the fear in his eyes, which was getting bigger and bigger, showed that he was still affected.
Asahirou smiled and looked at Yue Lanxiu, indicating that he should say something.
Yue Lanxiu seemed to have just come back to his senses. He also wanted to ask, "What about writing horror novels?"
The two of them just agreed to scare Mu Sanlang with stories about ghosts and gods and put psychological pressure on him... Why are they now giving him the high hat of exorcist without his permission!
I didn't know what to say, so I just threw the microphone to him!
He cleared his throat and said, "It is my duty to liberate the vengeful spirits, stop them from harming the human world, and restore peace to the world..."
Asahiro almost laughed when she saw him acting like a high monk.
Yue Lanxiu glared at her secretly and continued to deceive her, "Mr. Mu, if you don't want to be haunted by the wronged spirits, please cooperate from now on."
"You should know that if my brother had not been able to fight against them, they would have come to take your life long ago! My brother came here this time to prevent your tragedy from happening, so why don't you tell the truth quickly! If you continue to talk nonsense and don't tell the truth, it will only increase their resentment. By then, even my brother won't be able to deal with it. Let's see what you can do!" The two attacked from both sides.
"How...how can I cooperate?" Mu Sanlang was obviously frightened and couldn't utter a word.
"They just want to know the truth, so just tell them what you know honestly! In their world, there are also judges who can determine right and wrong, truth and falsehood, so you must not lie. Lying will only hurt them, and then they will not let you go!" Yue Lanxiu emphasized to remind him to tell the truth.
Mu Sanlang didn't cry until he saw the coffin and was still hesitating.
"Why did my brother and their souls turn black?" Chao Rirou suddenly hid behind Yue Lanxiu, still holding his arms tightly with both hands, staring at a certain point beside Mu Sanlang with fear in her eyes.
"Oh no! That means their power is growing!" Yue Lanxiu cooperated tacitly, looking at the same place as her. "If it turns this color, I won't be able to deal with it!"
"What are you looking at?!" Mu Sanlang was almost pissing himself. What was there next to him? Were those wronged souls right next to him?!
"Brother, let's go quickly and leave him alone!" Chao Rirou pulled him and ran towards the door.
"No matter what he says, he won't live till tomorrow morning!"
"Then do you have any other solution?"
"I'm afraid I can't do anything to them with my abilities!"
Seeing them running away, Mu Sanlang screamed anxiously, "Master, don't abandon me! Save the people!"
"Tell the truth quickly! Only in this way can you have a chance of survival! Stop lying, it will only fuel their resentment! It will become even more difficult to deal with them! I will go and ask my master to come out! You wronged souls must not hurt others, otherwise you will never be reborn..." Yue Lanxiu's shouts were still in his ears, but he and Chao Rirou had already run away.
"It really has nothing to do with me. Don't hurt me. I don't know anything. I didn't hurt you..." After returning to the room, Asahirou and Yue Lanxiu sat in front of the screen, listening to Mu Sanlang's crying.
"Did we scare him silly?" Chao Rirou asked with a frown. This guy was too timid.
"You know you've gone too far!"
"Without your cooperation, this wouldn't be possible! But even so, after so much time has passed, he's still only saying the same few words! Still no progress!"
"Who said there's no progress?" Yue Lanxiu narrowed his eyes, which now looked sharp and intelligent. "Did he mention Xia Tianhan?"
Seeing her eyes light up and a smile finally appear on her face, he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth in a doting arc.
"That's true. Although he still hasn't revealed who the real murderer is, he no longer mentions Xia Tianhan as the murderer!" Chao Rirou was somewhat immersed in this feeling of unraveling the mystery and following the clues.
The two of them sat together to study the case. They became more and more interested as they talked, and it seemed that they would talk until dawn.
However, Mu Sanlang on the screen never revealed who the real murderer was, and the screen finally paused at the scene where he fainted from fright again.
Perhaps because they were too focused on each other, they didn't pay much attention to the screen.
In the dark room, Mu Sanlang was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. He didn't dare to open his eyes and kept chanting "Namo" with his trembling mouth... Suddenly, he heard an unusual sound in his ears. He subconsciously opened his eyes and looked. His face instantly lost the last trace of blood. If his hands had not been hung, he would have collapsed to the ground. A terrifying woman in white clothes was reflected in his eyes that were wide open with fear!
