Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Spy vs. Spy

On the night when everyone was busy discussing how to capture the monster baron, a high-spirited man came to the house of Marquis Yuchong. The man was wearing a noble suit and glasses. He was the private detective Hiramine Shazo, also known as Kaneda. Detective Zhifeng just received a call from Marquis Yuchong, so he hurried over.When he walked into Marquis Yuchong's room, he was completely stunned. He thought that there was only Marquis Yuchong in the room, but he didn't expect that there was another man. The man was about 200 centimeters tall, with a gentle and handsome appearance, but he gave people an unattainable feeling; besides a pair of ordinary glasses, he also wore a pair of black glasses.

That is, he wears two pairs of glasses. (Is there something wrong with his eyes?) Detective Zhifeng was really puzzled. "Ah! It's Mr. Zhifeng, please come in!" When Marquis Yuchong saw Detective Zhifeng standing by the door, he quickly called out to him.The poor old man is still lying on the hospital bed. "This is my nephew Mengren. Mengren, this is the private detective Mr. Zhifeng I mentioned to you." Under the introduction of Marquis Yuchong, the two politely nodded to each other. "By the way, Mr. Zhifeng, I ask you to find out the whereabouts of my granddaughter. I wonder if there is any progress?"

asked the old man lying on the bed. Detective Zhifeng asked, then forced a smile and said: "Haha! You are too impatient. I just took over this case yesterday, and you will have the result today. How is this possible?" "I think so, but the reason why I invite you to my house tonight is at the request of the fierce man." "what?" "The fierce man is very concerned about my granddaughter's affairs. After all, Sayoko is also his relative, and he went to Hakata recently and got some very valuable news." "Your so-called valuable news is..."

"Brute man, tell him the whole story carefully." "Okay, then I'll start talking." The fierce man cleared his throat before saying: "Mr. Hirumine must know that Sayoko came back to Japan from Italy accompanied by a young man named Kiyohiko Unano, right?" "Yes, Marquis Yuchong mentioned this matter yesterday." "Then, do you also know about this Umino Kiyohiko writing to my uncle?" "yes." "Uncle sent me to Hakata. But unfortunately, when I arrived in Hakata, Kiyohiko Unano had already left Hakata and boarded the 'Nizuki Maru' steamship..."

"'Sun Moon Maru'? Such a familiar ship name!" Detective Zhifeng tilted his head on purpose and said. "Of course you've heard of 'Sun Moon Maru', because it's the steamboat that was shipwrecked at Cape Eagle's Nest on the night of the 25th of last month!" "Oh, so that's the case, then this young man named Umino Kiyohiko..." Detective Zhifeng asked, with a look of panic deliberately showing on his face. "When I heard about the shipwreck of the 'Nizuki Maru' in Hakata, I hurried to Shimotsuda Town to conduct various investigations, and found that when the shipwreck of the 'Nizuki Maru' occurred, Kiyohiko Unano was killed by the waves. He rushed to the shore, and he was shot in the chest. According to him, it was a man wearing a prosthetic leg who shot him, and Kiyohiko Unano was later carried away by the man wearing a prosthetic leg in a motor boat. "

"So that's it. In that case, the man with the prosthetic limb is the gangster." Detective Zhifeng was very nervous inside, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. "Yes. So I checked the passenger list, and I also found the name of the man with the prosthetic arm. That man was called Kurata Manzo, and he lived in Minamisensuke, Ota Ward, Tokyo. When I went to Minamisensuke to investigate, I found that there was no There is no such person as Kurata Manzo." "Is that person using a fake name?" "Yes. So I guess, that person's prosthetic limbs and one-eyed eyes are probably used to deceive people! Huh? Mr. Zhifeng, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly?"

"Ah! No, nothing." Detective Zhifeng hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead in a panic.At this time, the servant came in suddenly and handed him a letter. "Huh? A letter to me? Who is it?" "A boy brought it just now. He just said he wanted me to give this to you, and then turned around and left." Detective Zhifeng looked suspiciously at the letter in his hand, but it said "Received three times by Zhifeng House", other than that, the sender's name was not indicated. He couldn't help frowning, and opened the envelope in front of Marquis Yuchong and the fierce man, but as soon as he read the letter, his face immediately became as pale as paper.

It's no wonder that Detective Zhifeng's face became so ugly, because the letter reads: As soon as Detective Zhifeng read the letter, his hands trembled involuntarily, and the letter fell to the ground. The fierce man wanted to bend down to pick up the letter paper on the ground, but was pushed away by Detective Zhifeng.At this time, Detective Zhifeng's face was as ugly as it could be, and his whole body was still shaking like he was suffering from a serious illness. "Mr. Zhifeng, what's the matter with you? Is there any bad news written in the letter?" Marquis Yuchong asked without knowing it.

"No, no, it's nothing. Marquis Yuchong, I'm sorry, I have something urgent, so I'll take my leave first." After Detective Zhifeng finished speaking, he hurriedly stepped out of the door and left unsteadily. Marquis Yuchong was very surprised when he saw this, but the fierce man who watched Detective Zhifeng leave had a strange look in his eyes. Because when he was about to bend down to pick up the letter paper on the ground just now, he caught a glimpse of the word "Kurata".Therefore, the fierce man looked sideways at the golden candlestick placed next to Marquis Yuchong's pillow, and showed a treacherous smile.

It seems that this man is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After Detective Zhifeng left the mansion of Marquis Yuchong, he was frightened like a frightened bird. Since it is nine o'clock in the evening, every household in the residential area of ​​Harajuku has already turned off the lights and went to bed, so the street is completely dark.Detective Zhifeng could only raise his vigilance and walk quickly in the dark night. Although Baron Monster told him in the letter that as long as he apologized, he would forgive him, but Detective Leech Peak didn't believe what Baron Monster said at all.

If the monster baron would forgive people so easily, he wouldn't have killed Ontian.That's why he was so scared that he just wanted to run for his life. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the darkness, and Detective Zhifeng turned around in fright. He didn't expect another sound of footsteps from behind him.But fortunately, the person walking behind him seemed to be normal, so Detective Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.However, the man walking from the front suddenly ran towards him with big strides. "what!" Detective Zhifeng couldn't help but let out a scream, and his behavior also surprised the other party. "What, what's going on? I just want to borrow fire from you." After hearing the words, Detective Zhifeng finally felt relieved, quickly took out a match and asked the other party to light a cigarette. Detective Zhifeng discovered that the other party was a homeless man through the light of the match. "Alas! Thank you very much." The homeless man touched the brim of his hat and staggered towards the opposite side. After the back of the homeless man disappeared, Detective Zhifeng hurried to the brightly lit street and stopped a taxi. As soon as he got into the car, he said to the driver: "Go to Shin-Shinjuku! Hurry up, drive faster!" After Detective Zhifeng finished speaking, he looked back in panic to see if there were other cars following him. After confirming that there was no suspicious vehicle behind him, he took a breath and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.Unexpectedly, a small ball of paper fell out of the pocket. Detective Zhifeng inadvertently picked up the ball of paper to read, and it read—— "Wow!" He couldn't help but screamed. "Sir, what happened?" The driver turned around and asked in surprise. "No, no, it's nothing. I'm not going to Shinjuku, I'm going to Ginza instead, hurry up!" After finishing speaking, Detective Zhifeng curled up in his seat and kept shaking as if suffering from sadism.
