Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 78

"Sister, what's wrong with you today? You seem a bit restless, and I'm worried." Hinata Gokou expressed her concerns.

The older sister seemed no different from usual, but being intelligent since childhood, she could clearly see that something was wrong with her sister.

Ruri Gokou paused for a moment when she saw the worried looks in her two younger sisters' eyes, then a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"My sister encountered some bad people on her way back today, and she almost didn't make it back to see you."

Hearing this, Hinata Gokou felt a pang of anxiety. Tamaki Gokou, being quite young, could only blink and stare blankly at her two older sisters' conversation.

"What then?"

Although it seems that her older sister is alright now, Zhuxi's face turned pale and she couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about the possible accidents that might have happened.

"Later," Ruri Gokou said with a smile, and in that instant she remembered the image of Kenichi Uesugi that was deeply imprinted in her heart.

"Later, a demon king appeared and saved my sister."

"Demon Lord?" Hinata Gokou was taken aback upon hearing this, then chuckled and looked at her with a very warm gaze.

It seems my sister is alright now. I just wonder what kind of person this Demon Lord she mentioned is.

"Wow, the Demon King sounds so cool." Tamaki Gokou clapped her hands with a look of admiration.

"What kind of person is the Demon Lord?" Hinata asked, covering her mouth and secretly smiling as she looked at Ruri Gokou, who was lost in her daydream.

"He is a very good, gentle person, and I feel very safe with him."

As Gokou Ruri thought about her encounter with Uesugi Kenichi today, her blush deepened.

"So, does that mean my sister has fallen for the Demon King?"

“Yes…” Before Gokou Ruri could finish speaking, she saw Tamaki staring at her with unblinking eyes and a gossipy look on her face.

In an instant, Gokou Ruri's face turned as red as if steam were rising from it.

"Stop nagging!" she scolded her sister angrily, then turned off the light and covered herself with the blanket.

In the darkness, Hinata quietly watched her sister's back, her face showing a mixture of worry and pity.

Because her parents are often away from home and the family is not very well-off, her older sister sometimes has a very hard time.

She not only had to take care of both of them, but also often had to go out to work to earn some pocket money to buy things she liked.

Although she sometimes performs strange rituals and says things that normal people can't understand, she thinks her older sister is truly the best older sister in the world.

She hopes that her older sister will find happiness in the future and meet someone she likes who will treat her well.

Lord Demon King?

I really want to meet this Demon King.

Hopefully, he will treat his sister well.

After all, I've never seen my sister act like this before.

"It's dawn," Hyuga thought to himself.

After all, although Liuli was very nice in her eyes, her strange clothes, incomprehensible language, and the unapproachable aura she exuded all made her unapproachable.

She often worries that her sister is so engrossed in anime and manga that she can't find any friends, and she tries her best to encourage her sister to attend parties.

Sometimes she wonders if her older sister, like this, can really find someone she likes.

Now that this person has appeared, she feels excited and overjoyed. She is happy that her sister has someone she likes, and she is also curious about the person her sister likes.

And we should also thank the person who saved Liuli.

In the darkness, Hinata gently embraced her sister and offered her her blessings.

……

Uesugi Kenichi returned home, changed all his clothes, put them in an iron bucket, and burned them all.

He wiped the fingerprints off the dagger he had taken with him and threw it into a sewer.

After taking care of everything, Uesugi Kenichi sat cross-legged in the living room, quietly pondering.

After sending Gokou Ruri back, he went back and killed all three of them easily, without them even making a sound, their throats were slit with a single stroke.

Their filthy lives ended without them even knowing who killed them.

Surprisingly, Uesugi Kenichi felt somewhat uncomfortable, but when he slit the throats of those three people, he felt completely calm.

There was no fear, no anger, just a sense of calm.

It was like crushing an ant with a flick of the wrist, without the slightest concern.

Although in his view, all of these people deserved to die.

However, this unusual emotion made Uesugi Kenichi feel that something was wrong.

He pondered quietly for a while but couldn't find the reason, so he gave up.

After all, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his emotions.

There was no urge to continue killing.

Perhaps it's because I've done too much simulated battlefield training, or maybe I'm just different from ordinary people.

After comforting himself for a while, Uesugi Kenichi began to analyze the information he had obtained today. Based on the scope of Matsuba-kai's activities and its style of doing things, it was currently the biggest suspect in Kagura Keiko's disappearance.

We need to investigate this thoroughly, and find out whether Kagura Keiko is dead or alive.

The next morning, Uesugi Kenichi didn't wake up until 10 a.m.

He had gone to bed really late last night. After washing up, he took out his phone and looked through the news reports. He was relieved to find no news about the deaths of the three people last night.

The deaths of these three people were either covered up by the Volcano Group, or the police did not want to publicize the matter.

He wasn't nervous at all; he believed he had handled last night's events flawlessly.

Japan is quite different from China. There are cameras everywhere, and people here value privacy extremely. Even installing a large number of cameras in public places is considered a violation of privacy.

Moreover, when he went to kill the three people, he did not go through places that normal people could pass through, nor did he leave any fingerprints, hair, or other evidence that could be searched by the police.

Even if it is confirmed that it was him, there is no evidence to prove that he committed the murder.

Chapter 153 A Search That Never Ends!

He changed his clothes and went straight out. He had already told Saeko Busujima that Mashiro should stay with her for a while while he was investigating the matter, and he also told Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others not to come over for the time being.

Otherwise, if something were to happen to them during his investigation, then even if he killed them, it wouldn't make a difference.

After all, he's not a god; he can't be by their side 24/7 to protect them.

As soon as I stepped outside, I ran into two people, one fat and one thin, and I could see faint tattoos on their arms as they walked.

They look like gang members.

In Japan and South Korea, tattoos are a serious matter. Not everyone is entitled to get one. Generally, only members of gangs get tattoos, and the number and style of tattoos can reflect their status in the underworld.

Kenichi Uesugi narrowed his eyes; these two were clearly coming for him.

"Hey kid, your name is Uesugi Kenichi, right?"

The two men blocked Uesugi Kenichi's path, the thinner one looking at him with a playful expression.

With a slightly flustered expression, Uesugi Kenichi replied, "Yes, it is. May I ask what brings you two here?"

Kensuke Nishioka was very satisfied with Kenichi Uesugi's attitude, and waved to the tall man next to him to take the photo he was handed over.

Do you recognize the person in this photo?

When Uesugi Kenichi saw the person in the photo, his pupils contracted, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I know her. She used to be my next-door neighbor. I think her name was Kagura Sayuri, but I think she's dead. What happened to her?"

Kenichi Uesugi looked very confused.

"That's right, that bitch is indeed dead, but she stole things from our Pine Leaf Society before she died. Kid, do you know anything about that?"

Kensuke Nishioka sneered, his eyes fixed on Kenichi Uesugi, as if trying to read something from his eyes.

"No, I'm not very familiar with her. I've only met her twice. I do get along well with her daughter, but I heard from the orphanage that she ran away. I don't know where she went. It's really worrying."

Uesugi Kenichi said it casually, but his eyes were constantly observing the thin, gloomy man in front of him.

"I think she's probably doing pretty well, hahaha, after all, she's that bitch's daughter, and a little bitch herself."

"Since you don't know, then forget it. But you'd better not lie to me. If I find out you're lying, I'll kill you."

Kensuke Nishioka pulled a dagger from his pocket and slashed it twice on Kenichi Uesugi as a warning.

"No, no, I really don't know anything. I'm not familiar with them at all." Uesugi Kenichi feigned a fearful expression.

"That's for the best. Here's my phone number. Tell me anything you need or if you remember anything." After saying that, Kensuke Nishioka turned to look at the big guy. "Let's go, Ryohei. What are you still looking at there for? I'm exhausted. The next one is over there. This is such a hassle."

"He's calling himself the Sky Demon King? Haha, I'm the one who's laughing. You didn't see it just now, but he didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of me, Lord Nishioka."

Kenichi Uesugi calmly watched Kensuke Nishioka get into the black Honda parked to the side. He watched the car drive further and further away, his voice growing fainter and fainter, his eyes gradually filling with coldness.

It's truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly"...

Uesugi Kenichi muttered to himself until the car disappeared from sight.

He is now almost certain that Kagura Keiko's disappearance is inextricably linked to the Matsuba Association, and even Kagura Sayuri's death was not so simple.

However, he has no intention of alerting the enemy yet; he will wait until he has confirmed Kagura Keiko's situation before making any decisions.

……

As night fell, Uesugi Kenichi looked around and, finding no one, secretly slipped into the abandoned warehouse in front of him.

He spent the entire day silently observing Kensuke Nishioka's every move, but unfortunately, he couldn't find out where Keiko Kagura was.

However, he was already certain that it was Matsuba who was responsible for this.

Kensuke Nishioka met more than a dozen people today, each of whom was a resident of the apartment building where he used to live.

It seems Kagura Sayuri has obtained something extraordinary.

Kensuke Nishioka's actions continued into the night.

Until an unusual action caught Uesugi Kenichi's attention.

Kensuke Nishioka and his group drove to an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Tokyo, then mysteriously took a large black package from the warehouse, put it in the trunk of the car, and left.

The warehouse was very dark; you could hardly see your hand in front of your face.
