The Girl and Her Sword [Comprehensive + Sword III]

coming.

When the man appeared at the door, such a sentence flashed through the hearts of Qingwu and the others.

The man they've been waiting for has arrived.

The reason why Qingwu went to the shrine today is to catch all the people behind it.

That is, the participant behind the recent noisy Osaka murder case.

The origin of everything is Enokizu—maybe because there are too many lost and found cases handled, Enokizu's Rose Cross Detective Agency received such a commission a few days ago.

This time the missing ones were not living or dead in the general sense, or even to be straightforward, they should be considered human beings—that’s right, the dolls that have recently become popular among the upper class.

Ever since dolls were invented, the debate on whether dolls should have human rights has never ceased. However, the existence of dolls, to put it bluntly, is essentially an existence like a high-end plaything. It's unspoken to everyone.

This kind of creation that carries the darkness in people's hearts should not have the protection of human rights. ——Jingji Tangyu.

But even so, there is a kind of existence that regards dolls as family members, so based on this, people who love dolls have initiated such a debate.

"Leave these things aside," Ruan Qingwu said in a fuss, "Am I too outdated? This is not so much a detective agency, but a lost and found agency, right?"

"That's what you say..." Masato raised his bangs distressedly, "However, we are also very troubled that every lost property can lead to a big case."

That's right, just when Enokizu was looking for the missing doll, there were rumors of a psychic from the shrine in Osaka.

"How do you say that this kind of thing happened at this point in time is really eye-catching, and because there are too many dolls that have disappeared recently, many families with dolls have hidden their dolls, and the puppeteers who make dolls are also I was very angry because of this incident, and said that I would not make dolls again until the case was solved...and we ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with such things as dolls. So..." Masuda shrugged helplessly. "Hearing that the girl who appeared at the shrine might be a doll, this guy rushed to see it like the wind."

"Then you brought me back, didn't you?" Ruan Qingwu nodded, "According to your description, dolls are similar to the one I remember, but..." She frowned , "You are still too late, my weapons and belongings have been taken away by the old guy, if you come earlier, maybe I can show you something similar to that doll Bar."

"Your weapon?" Chuzenji asked.

"A writing brush." ​​Ruan Qingwu frowned. "Then the old man is still a calligrapher or something?"

"Tsume is indeed a calligrapher," Chuzenji said. "It seems that it was just a hobby at first, and then the writing became better and better. After the exhibition, he became a calligrapher."

"Do you think the murderer has something to do with him?" Ruan Qingwu asked.

"The Tsume Shrine recently received the ashes of some adults," Chuzenji said, "and the Tsume Shrine doesn't seem to have any treasures that can be used as a town hall."

"I understand, what's the result?" Ruan Qingwu asked again.

"A customer from Akasaka came to see me a few days ago..." Chuzenji frowned, "She said that a client of hers entrusted her to find a reliable second-hand bookseller to deal with her family's collection of books."

"Wow, that pot house?" Masuda said in surprise. "How is Miss Yamada?"

"Not bad..." Chuzenji said impatiently, "It seems that because of the change of mood, the style of the clothes he made also changed, so it looks like it's a best seller. I can know the Ogida family... It should be doing pretty well."

"Ogita?" Qingwu raised an eyebrow, "What kind of family is that?"

"Speaking of this..." Chuzenji clicked his tongue, "It is said that it is the Ogita family, but in fact it was just a branch family back then, but when it comes to Ogita, the most famous one is the Nomiya Miemon incident many years ago. "

"Ah, is that the Chinese who was murdered at the lady's birthday party?" Masuda suddenly became excited, "It is said that the lady of that family was born with the fragrance of lilies... in the end, she seemed to be killed in a car accident. I don't know where to go."

"That's right," Chuzenji snorted, "That samurai family is the Ogita family. The main family had already declined at that time, but the branch family still survived, because they made contributions in the subsequent battles and gained a lot of money. It looks like your reward...." So it can be regarded as one of the more popular upper class recently.

"So that's it, then what did you find out from Ms. Ogita's book?" Qingwu asked.

"A diary." Chuzenji changed his face and said solemnly, "In that diary, Miss Ogita's secret is recorded."

"Then let me guess," Qingwu said, "The murder incident in Osaka must have started after the death of Ms. Oda, right?"

"Yes." Chuzenji nodded.

"I understand." Qingwu nodded, looked at his empty hands and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, "I'm not used to it."

The feeling of not being with your weapon to accompany you is really bad.

"Can a pen also be used as a weapon?" Masuda expressed his disbelief.

"As long as it is a utensil, it can be used as a murder weapon." Qingwu glanced at him and said, she thought for a while, took a random stone from somewhere outside the house, and showed Masuda her finger. "If I want, I can kill a person with just one finger." She finished speaking very calmly, and in the eyes of everyone in disbelief, she inserted her finger straight into the stone like treating tofu .

A smooth hole appeared on the stone, and it was penetrated silently.

After witnessing such a terrifying force value, when everyone looked at the seemingly innocent and harmless Qing Wu, their eyes couldn't help but have a trace of reverence.

"However, there are still doubts about this matter." Qingwu frowned, "Maybe I'm superstitious, but the possibility of such a thing happening is very small..." After speaking, she fell into some kind of contemplation, So much so that even though Masuda and the others were extremely curious, they still couldn't figure out what the suspicious point she was talking about was.

Before transmigrating, Ruan Qingwu was a violent person who only cultivated flowers and played tricks.She only beats people but doesn't save them. In addition to various pretentious skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, heavenly work, flower arrangement, etc., she undoubtedly inherited her mother's talent in this regard, and she learned it unambiguously.As long as he is not beating others, he is completely a versatile disciple of Ten Thousand Flowers.

As such a fanatical fighter, losing her weapon was even more uncomfortable than killing her.

"First of all, I want to get my pen back." She said with her chin propped on both hands, "Or, I can get a knife that I like." She looked at everyone's eyes and added.

"Speaking of which," Chuzenji said thoughtfully, "in Ogita's family, it seems that the most famous gift is a sword."

"Oh?" When it came to weapons, Ruan Qingwu's eyes lit up, "What kind of knife?"

"One of the legendary five swords in the world, Sanri Yuezong is near or something," Chuzenji said, "If you want to guard the shrine, there is no other sword that is more suitable than it. 3"

"Not bad." Ruan Qingwu showed her thumbs up. "What are you waiting for, let's go now."

So it was decided.

"I'm Ogita Huazhang." The visitor said politely.

From the appearance, he is a handsome man not inferior to Enokizu, wearing a specially worn yukata that was popular in the Edo period, with a touch of gloom that cannot be dissipated between his eyebrows and eyes, and a decadent beauty that is popular nowadays.After he glanced around and saw Qingwu, he couldn't move his eyes away.

"Who is he, what is he doing all the time staring at my stuff?" Enokizu didn't care about the man's appearance, he pulled Qingwu into his arms, and said to Chuzenji very dissatisfied, "Aren't you Are you saying that this conversation is absolutely private? How come some unimportant outsiders come in? Let's go, Hua Ji."

"Okay, brother." Qingwu tugged at the hem of his clothes very cooperatively, her voice was as tender and clear as a little girl's.

"Hua Ji?" Ogita murmured the name, with a bewildered expression on his face. If the other party was a woman, she must have been very worried and asked, but Enokizu was different. When he passed by Ogida, he said, "She's dead, didn't you kill her?"

"What did you say?" Ogita's body shook violently, and he stared at Enokizu intently.

"You know it, she's crying." Enokizu sneered, blocked Ogita's view of Qingwu, and strode away.

"Oh, this," what happened just now was too fast, and when Etsume wanted to say something to remedy it, Enoki Tsu had already walked away.

"It's not good." Chuzenji stroked his chest pretending to be in shock, and said in embarrassment, "Master Priest, I have already said that outsiders are not allowed to come in, right? You will make it difficult for me to do so, After all, it was hard to gain the trust of that young master..."

"This..." Tsume said very apologetically, "I also hope that you can explain to that person that this person is not an unrelated person, but someone who has had the same experience and successfully dispelled the monster's possession. Since that incident, he has made up his mind to rescue those who are trapped by monsters like him."

"I didn't inform you in advance when I came here this time, so I'm very sorry." Ogita came back to his senses, went to the side of the priest and apologized, "Because I rarely see people like me, so I lost my composure, really..."

"Hey," Chuzenji sighed heavily, "It will be difficult to persuade him to come here...I'll take my leave first, you..." After finishing speaking, he went on He sighed heavily and left.

"It's really interesting." Watching the figure of Chuzenji walking away, Ogita said thoughtfully.

"What's interesting?" Jin Mu looked impatient, "I thought what kind of demeanor the former Duke's son would be, but I didn't expect it to be like this..." He frowned, "It seems that it is very difficult to get her back. It's difficult."

"Heh." Ogita laughed, "Hua Ji...is she really not dead?"

It's funny, it's so much fun.

"Even if she's not dead," Tsumu looked at him with a complicated expression, and said, "That's not your sister anymore, it's just..."

"It's just a monster who stole my sister's shell, I understand." Ogita said indifferently.He covered his face, and said with a tremor in his voice, "And I had no choice but to kill her again and again..."

Jin looked at him coldly, and when he was about to say something, suddenly in the tightly closed inner room, the candle flickered strangely.

What Tsume wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it anymore.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but at the moment when the candle flickered, the shadow on Ogita's body seemed to change from one to two. …
