Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 10 Zhou Tong Detective Series I: Death Tarot Cards (10)
"Miss Yan, can you really?" Takeji Moriguchi asked concerned.However, hearing such words in Yan Yongjie's ears stimulated her fighting spirit even more.

"Don't worry, there's no problem!" Yan Yongjie put on a posture.

"What weapon do you use?" Yamamoto asked.

"He asked you to choose a weapon." Zhou Tong accurately translated the meaning of Kazuo Yamamoto for the first time.

"No need!" Yan Yongjie was not good at weapons.

"She said bare hands are enough." Zhou Tong happily said to Kazuo Yamamoto.

"Baga!" Kazuo Yamamoto felt insulted, cursed, and attacked with a sword.

Although Yan Yongjie couldn't understand Japanese, she had heard this sentence often in anti-Japanese movies. Knowing that it was a curse, she immediately became angry and mercilessly attacked.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Kazuo Yamamoto is a famous Japanese swordsman. His swordsmanship is soft but strong, with many changes, which is hard to guard against.As soon as he handed over, Yan Yongjie was immediately at a disadvantage.

Zhou Tong didn't know anything about martial arts, so he just wanted to watch the fun.But Moriguchi Takeji is different, he has a lot of research on kendo, although he is surprised that Yan Yongjie has such a good skill, but he can see that she is still at a disadvantage.

Yan Yongjie gradually adapted to Kazuo Yamamoto's swordsmanship, and began to fight more and more bravely, and his boxing skills were also extremely fierce. Seeing that Kazuo Yamamoto was completely compressed in the shadow of Yan Yongjie's fist, the range of movement became smaller and smaller.Finally came the moment to decide the outcome, Kazuo Yamamoto roared, and the sword was like a rainbow, breaking through the shadow of the fist and hitting Yan Yongjie's face directly.Yan Yongjie turned his fist into one, and hit Kazuo Yamamoto's bamboo sword hard with his fist of flesh and blood. Hearing a "creak", the bamboo sword in Kazuo Yamamoto's hand split into two.

"Concession!" Yan Yongjie said without any injuries.

Kazuo Yamamoto looked very discouraged, dropped half of the bamboo sword in his hand, bowed to Yan Yongjie, and said, "I admit defeat."

"I'm very sorry, we just want to ask the disciples of the Phantom Sword Ryu about something. Please Mr. Yamamoto tell us where we can find the people of the Phantom Sword Ryu." Yan Yongjie said to Takeji Moriguchi in English this time. The unnecessary fights were all caused by Zhou Tong.

Moriguchi Takeji conveyed Yan Yongjie's meaning to Kazuo Yamamoto.

After Kazuo Yamamoto listened, he turned his gaze to Zhou Tong, who deliberately lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

"Phantom Sword Style is almost a lost genre. After the only heir Ao Ye passed away, there was only one apprentice left. It is said that he was in..." Speaking of the crucial point, Kazuo Yamamoto suddenly covered his chest and fell down. , his face turned livid.

"Teacher Yamamoto!" Takeji Moriguchi rushed to pick up Kazuo Yamamoto.

"North..." Kazuo Yamamoto spit out such a word with all his strength and died.

"Don't touch his hand!" Zhou Tong immediately reminded, "There is poison on the bamboo sword."

Sure enough, on the grass, the grass around the bamboo sword turned black, as if it had been burned by fire.

"Sister Yongjie, your hand!" Zhou Tong quickly saw a black bruise appear on the back of Yan Yongjie's hand.

"Don't move!" Zhou Tong didn't have time to think, immediately tore off a piece of cloth, ran to Yan Yongjie's side, and tied her wrist.

"Hurry up to the hospital!" Zhou Tong picked up Yan Yongjie on his back and ran outside.

Moriguchi Takeji put down Kazuo Yamamoto's body and followed Zhou Tong closely.

At the Tokyo National Hospital, there was a burst of whistles and lights flashing, mixed with the hurried footsteps of medical staff, Yan Yongjie was sent to the emergency room.

"Damn! It's all my fault!" Zhou Tong punched the wall hard outside the emergency room. If he hadn't been playful for a while and asked Yan Yongjie to compete with Kazuo Yamamoto, such a thing would not have happened.

"Zhou Tong, now you have to tell me one thing honestly. What is the real purpose of your coming here?" Takeji Moriguchi grabbed Zhou Tong's shoulders and asked angrily, "If you don't tell me, I can only report to the Metropolitan Police Department. Report, send you back home!"

"No! I can't go back now, I must find the murderer!" Zhou Tong pushed Takeji Moriguchi away angrily.

"You..." Just when Takeji Moriguchi was about to speak again, a doctor came out of the emergency room.Zhou Tong and Moriguchi Takeji immediately surrounded him.

"Doctor, how is the situation?" Zhou Tong asked eagerly.

"The poison in the patient is penetrated through the skin, and it is very toxic. Fortunately, you have taken appropriate measures, otherwise it would be hopeless." The doctor sighed and continued: "We don't know what this poison is yet. This kind of substance needs further testing, and at present it can only temporarily control the spread of toxicity and maintain her life, I hope you can have a certain amount of mental preparation."

"Doctor, please, please, save her, save her!" Zhou Tong hugged the doctor, almost crying.

"We will do our best." The doctor tried hard to stabilize Zhou Tong's mood.

"Okay, Zhou Tong, let go of the doctor!" Takeji Moriguchi pulled Zhou Tong away, "This is the first-class hospital in Japan, they can definitely save Yan Yongjie!"

"No, I must find the person who harmed Yongjie!" Zhou Tong pushed away Takeji Moriguchi and rushed out of the hospital.

In Tokyo at night, it began to rain heavily, and Zhou Tong ran aimlessly on the streets.He wanted to calm himself down, because only a calm mind could find clues and solve problems.At the same time, he also needs to stop blaming himself, and running may stabilize his emotions.

Zhou Tong was finally exhausted from running, he staggered and sat down on a cold step, although his body was exhausted, his mind began to function normally.Kazuo Yamamoto said the word "North" before he died. Did he want to tell us the direction, or was it a person's name, or a place name?There is also the fact that the murderer was able to apply poison to Kazuo Yamamoto's bamboo sword without anyone noticing. It must be someone who knows Kazuo Yamamoto or even very familiar with it.More importantly, why did the murderer believe that Kazuo Yamamoto would definitely compete with Yan Yongjie?But...but if... Zhou Tong finally thought of one thing clearly!
"Takeji Moriguchi! It's Takeji Moriguchi!" Zhou Tong stood up as he spoke.

"It's too late for you to know now." A black pistol appeared on Zhou Tong's forehead, and the person holding the gun was Takeji Moriguchi.

"I should have thought it was you a long time ago. When the hotel exploded, you were able to arrive so quickly, as if you knew it a long time ago. Moreover, you arranged the hotel room where we stayed. From then on, I should have suspected you , but I was too careless, I never thought that the person sent by the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department would be the one who wanted to kill us." Zhou Tong turned around slowly, looked at Takeji Moriguchi and continued: "When you see Yamamoto When Yifu was about to compete with Yan Yongjie, you took the opportunity to smear poison on his bamboo sword, so that you could not only kill the only person who knew the clue, but also kill Yan Yongjie by the way."

"Thank you for your help. When I was worrying, you gave me an excellent opportunity!"

Zhou Tong smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "Your acting skills are indeed very good, but I don't understand one thing. Since you don't want us to find someone from Huanjianliu, why did you take us to see Kazuo Yamamoto?"

"Even if I don't take you there, you will find him sooner or later. It's better to let me be a good person, and then solve you once and for all." Takeji Moriguchi spoke in a cold tone.

"The last question, why did you kill us?" Zhou Tong asked, staring at Takeji Moriguchi.

"I'm sorry, I really don't want to kill you, but for her, you all have to die!" Moriguchi Takeji finished speaking and was about to pull the trigger.

"Stop! As long as you dare to move your fingers, I will immediately beat you into a hornet's nest!" From a dark corner, a man came out, followed by a girl.

"Brother Li, Xiao Yingying, if you come out half a second later, I will lose my head!" Zhou Tong held Takeji Moriguchi's gun with a smile.

"It's our turn to play at the critical moment!" Li Ying said proudly.

"Fortunately, we have been following you!" Li Wanren pointed his gun at Takeji Moriguchi.

"You...you..." Takeji Moriguchi looked at Li Wanren, incoherent in surprise.

"You big head! Although you little Japanese are insidious, I am not a vegetarian. I didn't discover your conspiracy, but I knew that the enemy was in the dark. We must suffer in the Ming Dynasty, so when I had an accident in the hotel When I saw them, I secretly wrote a note and asked them to take care of them in secret." Zhou Tong said, grabbing Takeji Moriguchi by the collar, "Hurry up! What kind of poison did you put on the bamboo sword?"

"It's all over..." Takeji Moriguchi didn't answer Zhou Tong's question, he bit the poison already in his mouth.Blood spilled from his mouth, and his eyes gradually began to blur.Zhou Tong let go of his hand, and Takeji Moriguchi just fell to the ground.

At this moment, no one expected that a young woman hurried towards this direction along the wet and cold street in a panic.When she saw Takeji Moriguchi fell to the ground, her eyes showed despair and sadness.

"I'm not worth it, Takeji, why are you so stupid?" The young woman burst into tears holding Moriguchi Takeji's body.None of Zhou Tong, Li Ying, and Li Wanren thought that Takeji Moriguchi would commit suicide to keep a secret. What reason did he make such a sacrifice?
"Don't blame him, he did this for me, but now that he is dead, is there any meaning for me to live?" The young woman seemed to be explaining to the three of them, and also seemed to be talking to herself Soliloquy.

"Why?" Zhou Tong finally asked these three words.

"I am a woman cursed by the death tarot card. The way to undo this curse is to kill you!" The woman said, looking at Zhou Tong with empty eyes.

"Death Tarot, and Death Tarot again, that's a deceptive trick! There is no such thing as a curse in this world, trust me, tell me what you know, and I will definitely help you!" Zhou Tong said angrily.

"It's useless... I don't want to die, I don't want such a horrible and painful death!" Suddenly, as if going crazy, the young woman quickly took out a sharp dagger from her bosom and stuck it into her chest. nest.The red blood seemed to turn into a beautiful and bright cherry blossom, blooming.

"Who? Who is it?" Zhou Tong hugged the young woman who was about to fall, and asked in a hoarse voice.

However, the young woman has closed her eyes and died in the world forever.

Chapter 6 The Sword of Hokkaido

The man in black stood up, but his robust body could not conceal the sadness in his heart.He suddenly remembered a summer many years ago, also in Hokkaido, on a beach with only him and her, only the gentle sea breeze and her smile, but now, none of this will happen again.

Zhou Tong, Li Ying and Li Wanren returned to the hospital, while Yan Yongjie was still in the intensive care unit.Looking at the unconscious Yan Yongjie through the glass window, Zhou Tong felt like a sword was piercing his heart.

"Zhou Tong, now three people have died in a row, and one of them is a criminal police officer from the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department. In addition, Yan Yongjie was poisoned. I think you need to contact the country immediately, otherwise the Japanese police will not let you go easily. When the time comes Don't talk about investigating the case, you won't even have freedom of movement." Li Wanren's thinking was relatively mature, and he immediately considered the urgent problem in front of him.

"Yes, maybe that Sun Yaoming will have a way to save Yan Yongjie!" Zhou Tong immediately called Sun Yaoming and told him the whole story.

"Don't worry, I will explain clearly to the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department, and I will send domestic first-class experts to Japan to assist in the treatment of Yan Yongjie." Sun Yaoming really did not expect that so many things happened just two days after they went to Japan.

"Leave it to Team Leader Sun, I will definitely find out the murderer!" Zhou Tong hung up the phone after speaking, he was really worried that Sun Yaoming would not allow him to stay in Japan.

"So many people died again, but we didn't even find the shadow of the murderer!" Li Wanren was a little discouraged.

"Brother Li, I want to get all the information about Takeji Moriguchi and the woman who committed suicide. Can you do it?" Zhou Tong asked.

"It's not difficult. I believe that money can turn ghosts around. Give me two days and it should be done." Li Wanren is very confident.

"Thank you, then I'll go first. If you get the information, come to Hokkaido to find me!" Zhou Tong said and was about to leave.

"I want to go with you!" Li Ying, who had been silent by the side, finally called out.

"No, it's too dangerous!" Zhou Tong immediately refused.

"Don't scare me, you bought the road, I can go wherever I want!" Li Ying refused to budge.

Zhou Tong had no choice but to turn his attention to Li Wanren and ask him for help, but Li Wanren shrugged his shoulders, expressing that there was nothing he could do to help, as his sister had always done her own way.

"Follow if you like!" Zhou Tong had no choice but to agree. In fact, in his heart, he didn't know whether the "North" mentioned by Kazuo Yamamoto had anything to do with Hokkaido, but he couldn't do nothing. So go take your chances.

Hokkaido is located in the northern part of Japan, accounting for one-fifth of Japan's total area, and its population is only half of Tokyo's. The population density is extremely low, and most of them are concentrated between Otaru and Asahikawa centered on Sapporo. When tourists come to Hokkaido, they often have a vast and comfortable Compared with the crowded and prosperous cities in Japan, it is really unique.

As soon as Li Ying arrived in Hokkaido, she kept her mouth open, chirping like a sparrow, talking non-stop beside Zhou Tong.

"How about it, detective, where are you going to find clues?" Li Ying asked.

"I didn't think about it!" Zhou Tong said perfunctorily, but he was still worried about Yan Yongjie's condition.

"Since I haven't thought about it, let's go to the hot springs. I heard that the hot springs in Hokkaido are very famous. Besides, you can relax and help you think about problems!" Li Ying grabbed Zhou Tong and pestered her.

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, let me go first!" Zhou Tong also wanted to relax, he really had too many things to think about.

Noboribetsu Onsen in Hokkaido is the largest hot spring in Hokkaido, surrounded by mountains, 11 kinds of hot springs emerge from the narrow canyon, the water temperature ranges from 45°C to 93°C, it can cure many diseases, and you can also visit the famous scenic spots here Hell Valley, the statue of the pharmacist Tathagata, the brown cliffs of the crater and the mouth of the sulfur fountain and other wonders.

Zhou Tong and Li Ying walked into the Noboribetsu Hot Spring Hotel.

"Welcome!" A mother Sang came over and said to Zhou Tong and Li Ying with an exaggerated bow.

"Hello, we want two private rooms." Zhou Tong tried to force a smile and said.

"I'm really sorry, we only have one couple's room here." The smile on Mama Sang's face almost squeezed together.

"Then..." Zhou Tong just wanted to change another hotel and go out to find a hotel, but Li Ying rushed to say: "Then I'm sorry, please take us in."

"It's not that good, is it?" Zhou Tong looked at Li Ying in surprise.

"Are you scared?" Li Ying ignored Zhou Tong after she finished speaking, and followed her mother Sang in.

"Afraid? Dare I say I'm afraid!" Zhou Tong's eyes widened, and he walked in behind with his chest upright.

This really is a veritable couple's room, decorated in an extremely warm and sensational way, with erotic paintings, a pink double bed, and even a condom at the head of the bed.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Tong couldn't help his heart beat faster. Although he usually likes to take advantage of girls, he has never really done anything.

Li Ying put down her luggage, looked at Zhou Tong's distressed expression, and became more and more proud. She purposely approached him lightly, then slowly wrapped her hands around his neck, breathing evenly and rhythmically in his ear.

Facing the nephrite fragrant body and towering chest, Zhou Tong's body finally had a strong reaction.

But at this moment, Li Ying, who was originally full of spring, suddenly stopped her offensive, as if nothing happened, smiled and said: "Bye, I'm going to soak in the hot spring."

Zhou Tong stood still stupidly, already covered in sweat, "It's so embarrassing, I played tricks on this stinky girl!"
