Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 191. 188. Former Champion
"Same as yesterday, all the victims will advance to tomorrow's finalists." Eliza took out an investigation report from her arms and handed it to Kyushu Makoto to read:

"There was food poisoning, a fall while walking, a sprained ankle, being knocked unconscious by a high-altitude throwing object, and one was stung by poisonous insects. Anyway, it was all kinds of accidents, and there were no cameras or witnesses at the scene. They could only admit that they were unlucky."

Kyushu accepted the investigation report with a solemn expression, and carefully read it several times.

Logically speaking, this report should be a private mission document and cannot be given to an outsider like him.

But Eliza was willing to hand over the documents to him, presumably because she had some trust in him, and invited him to come and think of a way together.

After reading the report, Makoto Kyushu looked up and said: "If this series of cases is really caused by human beings, then I suspect that the culprit should be a local from Fukuoka, or that there is a local as an accomplice."

"Huh? Why do you think so?" Eliza asked curiously.

"To be able to secretly create so many "accidents" in a short period of time, one must be well aware of the local situation. "Kyushu Cheng analyzed:
"And the prisoner must have a lot of contacts in the local area, and even bribed the event organizer to quickly obtain the information and accommodation addresses of the contestants."

"That makes sense," Eliza nodded slightly. "However, Fukuoka has 130 million permanent residents. No matter how we narrow down the area, we won't be able to find out before tomorrow."

"We don't need to go out of our way to catch the murderer. Let's take a look at tomorrow's game list. I have a few things I care about." Kyushu Cheng opened one of the pages of the investigation report:
"Tomorrow, there are sixteen teams for men and women. According to your investigation, most of the teams have been attacked."

"At present, there are still five teams whose men's and women's groups have not been attacked. Two of them are this year's seed teams, one is the private Takamahara Peak Academy, and the other is the local Fukuoka Okishima High School."

After Jiuzhoucheng finished speaking, he asked curiously: "Gao Tianyuanfeng. Isn't this your school?"

The private Takamaharamine Academy is an aristocratic high school with the most powerful teachers in Tokyo and even the entire Wano country, and it takes the route of elite education.Because it is too high and unattainable, ordinary people have little understanding of it.

Leaving aside the exorbitant tuition fees that are so expensive that ordinary people will explode at a glance, it is said that students who come out of there will be admitted to Southeast University as civil servants in the future, and they will be laughed at by other students as "good for nothing".

As for the school's kendo club, basketball club, baseball club and other sports clubs, the starting team is said to have reached the level of adult professional competitions, and participating in high school competitions is a blow to dimensionality reduction.

"This time the team participating in the Yulong Banner competition is the second echelon of our school's Kendo Department." Eliza flicked her hair and said casually:
"The school prohibits the first echelon of sports clubs and special sports recruits from participating in high school competitions, otherwise it is bullying."

"But even if it is the second echelon, it is still the top level of high school students in Wano Country~" Makoto Kyushu sighed with a smile, and asked again:

"Since that's the case, have any players in your school ever been attacked?"

"You are right, they were attacked yesterday." Eliza thought for a while and replied:

"Fortunately, the school has something to do with Yin Yang Liao, and specially paid for them to hire a second-level spirit exorcist as their bodyguard. Unfortunately, the murderer escaped in the end."

"As expected of an aristocratic school." Makoto Kyushu exclaimed, "Then there are only four teams left: Tokita Industrial High School, Akiyoshi Kendo Club, Sapporo Shiraishi Academy, and Fukuoka Okishima High School."

"Of course I know. In fact, half an hour ago, Yinyang Liao sent people to protect the four teams." Eliza shook her head slightly: "Of course it's not so much protection as it is to use them as bait and wait for rabbits."

"But don't you think it's a bit strange?" Makoto Kyushu frowned strangely:

"Although there are still four teams that have not been attacked, among the seeded teams, only the team from Fukuoka Okishima High School is safe and sound."

"You think there's something wrong with this high school?" Eliza asked. "It's true that we haven't received any reports of an attack on this team."

"And they happen to be local high school students. It's too coincidental." Kyushu Makoto said seriously: "Is it possible that the prisoner who ordered the monster to attack the contestants actually wanted Okishima High School to win the championship?"

"But you can't be too absolute about everything. If they are also attacked tonight, then your speculation will be completely overturned." Eliza shook her head lightly:

"Besides, even if we really want to conduct an investigation, where do we start? Should we investigate the participating students, their parents, or school officials? Or should we go to their schools to find out the bottom line? If nothing is found out, we will How do I explain it to my superiors?"

"Yes, there is still too little information to start with." Jiuzhou Cheng naturally thought of these problems, and could only shake his head and sigh.

There are still five final teams that have not been attacked yet, four of which are watched by people from Yin Yang Liao, Gao Tianyuanfeng hired private bodyguards, and Xiujin Academy is guarded by Kyushu Cheng. They are all safe for the time being, and no one should be killed up.

But for those teams that have already been killed, this Jade Dragon Banner competition is really unfair.

No matter what the purpose is, the culprit will undermine the fairness of this event and even insult the spirit of sports competition.

But what Jiuzhou Cheng can do now is to do his best to protect his team.

Eliza stretched her waist, her stomach suddenly growled.

"Ahem..." She straightened her face immediately, as if to cover up her shame: "I'm going back to my room first."

"Wait a minute, are you hungry?" Jiuzhou Cheng suggested: "Let me go have a meal together, and continue to talk about the case by the way."

"Ha, are you just inviting girls out for dinner so casually?" Eliza hesitated for a moment, then said in relief:

"Forget it, anyway, you stone man has no bad intentions, let's go."

As it was getting late, the two walked around the hotel, only to find a ramen restaurant with the lights on.

"Please eat!" The waiter brought a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen to the two of them.

Probably exhausted from a busy day, Eliza didn't care about the image of a lady at all, and ate voraciously with the bowl in her hand.

"Did you not eat today?" Makoto Kyushu asked.

"I haven't eaten anything since noon." Eliza swallowed the last mouthful of noodles, and then reached out to ask the waiter to add another bowl of noodles.

"Your work is too hard." Makoto Kyushu shook his head.

During the meal, the two chatted about the serial attacks in the past few days.

"Speaking of which, what kind of school is Fukuoka Okishima High School?" Makoto Kyushu asked curiously.

At present, the suspicion of Fukuoka Okishima High School is not small.If they were indeed the culprits, who was the culprit at the school and what was the motive?
"I don't know, I have never investigated this school." Eliza continued to concentrate on eating noodles.

Perhaps there were no customers in the restaurant, and the waiter was idle and bored, so he came over to join the chat:

"Are you also a contestant in the Yulong Banner? I'm sorry, because I heard you talking about Okishima High School just now, so I'm curious~"

"That's right." Makoto Kyushu glanced at him and asked back, "Do you know Okishima High School?"

"Of course, that is the school with the best swordsmanship here, and it has won the Jade Dragon Banner Gold Award for several times." The waiter said quite proudly.

"Oh~ that's really amazing." Makoto Jiuzhou praised him, and took out his mobile phone to search.

Sure enough, "Fukuoka Okishima High School" has won the Yulong Banner Championship for four consecutive years. It can be said to be the pillar of the Fukuoka area, but that was already ten years ago.

Since then, this high school has never won a championship in the Yulong Banner, and the best result was the semi-finals last year.

Even the local media always fanned the flames with this incident, writing several reports every year such as "The Jade Dragon Flag was robbed by stinky outsiders again this year. Is Chongdao High School okay?", which made people very angry.

"I heard that Okishima High School is going strong this year, and I plan to hit the gold award again after ten years." The waiter placed a large bowl of ramen in front of Eliza's table:
"It's really ambitious. I hope they can win the championship this year, so that we in Fukuoka can feel proud again~!"
