[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

46# dark fire

Ichinose Takumi always thought that his father had reached the peak of scum, but now he realized that he had this illusion because he was too young and had too little experience.

——After he saw Erika's father grab the inkstone in front of him and beat her to the point of bleeding.

Erica lay on the tatami mat, and took Ichinose Qiao's bruised forehead with an ice pack. The place where she hurt was the back of the head, and she only wrapped it loosely with a bandage twice.

"Why did Qiao-chan rush out?" Erica puffed her cheeks, "If my lord father hits you hard, will Erica be unable to stop you?"

Ichinose Qiao gave her a look in disbelief: "You mean I should watch him beat you?"

Erica smiled with sweet dimples, shook her head and said, "No. Of course I didn't mean that."

The girl's slender and cold fingers combed Qiao's black hair, and there was a sweet smile in her voice.

"I mean, Qiao-chan should leave here immediately." She bent down and hugged Ichinose Qiao gently, "Father will kill you. I know, he will."

"..."

Ichinose Qiao silently stroked his forehead.He originally wanted to say it was impossible, but after experiencing the violent storm just now, he suddenly couldn't say it.At least, that man, Erica's father, didn't hesitate at all when beating him.

Erika placed a kiss on Ichinose Qiao's forehead, said "mua~" loudly, then stood up with a smile, put her hands behind her back, and looked at him with her head tilted.

"But I'm very happy——Qiao Jiang protected me." She repeated with a smile, "I'm very happy."

——Besides my aunt, for the first time, someone protected me from this situation.

Ichinose Takumi looked at Erika, and suddenly reached out to grab her hand.

"I'll take you away." He stared at the girl in front of him, "Anywhere is fine, I'll take you away. Don't stay here anymore. If you stay any longer, you will be destroyed."

Erica looked at Qiao in a daze, and after a while, she smiled very lightly.

"...It doesn't matter." She slowly pulled her hand out, "Anyway, it's all over."

Ichinose Takashi's expression changed.

"What... it's time to end?"

Erika giggled, raised her right arm and drew a big circle, including the entire Futekoji family.She turned her head, her wine-red eyes were crooked with a smile, but it showed a kind of madness that was suppressed to the extreme.Her voice is sweet, with a coquettish ending.

"All of them."

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on her black kimono sleeves, stained with burning blood. At this moment, her figure fell in Ichinose Qiao's eyes, as ominous as a black bird reporting mourning——

—and beautiful.

"Tomorrow's ceremony, Qiao-chan, remember to come."

In a trance, he heard her say this.With a meaningless smile.

***

The Jiechuan ceremony is to witness the awareness that the Taoist priest has the qualifications of a teacher.Generally speaking, it takes 15 years for a Taoist priest to obtain the qualification of Jichuan.

However, Di Xiaolu's family held this ceremony for 15-year-old Erika Di Xiaolu today.

Hei Zizhe also stood quietly outside Dixiaolu's house, remembering when he saw Locke.

It was a very ordinary-looking young man. He wore a suit and looked no different from white-collar workers everywhere in Japan, except for a pair of sharp eyes.

"I'm Locke. I'm currently doing some... um, small businesses around the world." The young man pressed the cigarette on the trash can, and stretched out his other hand to Hei Zizhe, "Nice to meet you-omit the meaningless The opening remarks, I'll just ask..."

He looked directly at Heizi Tetsuya with sharp eyes.

"Has Miss Mana taken drugs?"

"—?!"

Heizi Tetsuya's expression was rare, he took two deep breaths, and then tried his best to answer this question calmly.

"Although I don't know why you ask such a question, my sister will never take drugs."

"What about her friends? Like aoi and erica?"

The man gave a wry smile.

"Although this question is really offensive, I still hope you can answer me."

Heizi Tetsuya's face became even more ugly, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"Based on what I know about my classmate Jiu, she won't. And I haven't seen Di Xiaolu again, so I don't know her current situation, but before graduating from junior high school, she definitely never touched drugs."

Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

Hei Zizhe also asked Locke his own question in a voice that could not be heard from joy or anger.

"And you? Why are you asking me these questions all of a sudden?"

Locke looked away, and after a while, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and gave Hei Zizhe a nod as if inquiring, and he took out one after getting the answer of "Please, I don't mind", and lit it. He took a long puff and exhaled a shapeless smoke ring.

"I investigated your sister's agency, the one called Garia. I found out that it is part of a drug trafficking network. The boss of your sister's company is using drugs to control his artists while also using them to sell drugs. It has been...continued It's been four or five years."

"!!!!!!"

Heizi Tetsuya's face turned pale instantly!

"...It's impossible." He shook his head and clenched his teeth, "It's impossible...my sister never—"

"Not all artists are under control." Locke opened the folder he carried with him and took a look, "Is the producer of your sister's band called Jiugao Kaoru? I found out that Aoi is his sister, also surnamed Jiuga. At least The siblings were completely excluded from drug trafficking."

"—After all, they forced the father of the brother and sister to death for this reason. In order to prevent them from retaliation, they will never let those two know about the company's drug trafficking."

Kuroko Tetsuya's pupils tightened.There was a slight fluctuation in his voice.

"...You said them, who did you drive to death?"

"The former chairman of the Jiuwo Consortium. Didn't that man commit suicide by jumping off a building because of the bankruptcy of the consortium? A common method of suicide." Locke turned over a page of information, "The top level of this drug trafficking network is the old Chinese Jiuwo family, and the Jiuwo Consortium They have always played the role of laundering money for them. Three years ago, this matter was close to being exposed. The Jiuwo family withdrew their capital in order to cover up the scandal, which led to the bankruptcy of the Jiuwo consortium. In order to prevent the scandal from being exposed, they also forced the death of the chairman of the Jiuwo consortium. The investigation was closed due to a break in leads."

"The chairman is the father of Kuga Kaoru and Aoi brothers and sisters. Judging from the fact that the three of Mana have not taken drugs, in order to guard against these two brothers and sisters, Garia completely concealed this matter from them."

“……………………”

"However, I discovered one more thing during my investigation." Locke closed the folder and looked at Kuroko Tetsuya worriedly, "The source of the drugs... is the Fuekoji family who owns a high-end incense company."

Hei Zizhe took a sharp step back.

"Your sister, did you mention drugs to you?" Locke asked, "After all, she has been staying in Garia, and she may not find anything."

Heizi's hands suddenly trembled.

"No...my sister didn't mention it...but—"

Dusk a year ago.

The girl by the water looked at him and asked, hey, Tetsuya-kun, if your parents did something unforgivable, would you report them to the police?

"Fee Koji Erika...erica she..."

That is absolutely unforgivable, and it will kill many, many people. —she said with a smile.

"...She seems to know about her parents' drug production and drug trafficking."

Without waiting for his answer, the girl shrugged with a smile, and ran away from the water's edge.

—It has nothing to do with me anyway.

She laughed out a pair of sweet dimples and said so.

"Erica knows about it."

Kuroko Tetsuya's tone became firm.

So at this moment, they appeared here.

In front of Fuekoji's house in Kyoto.

Mori Kogoro clicked his tongue looking at the antique Japanese garden in front of him, then turned to look at Kuroko Tetsuya.

"Your middle school classmate's family is not ordinary rich."

Edogawa Conan observed the expressionless Kuroko Tetsuya from behind the lens, he didn't know what he thought of, put his hands behind his head, and deliberately opened his mouth in a naive tone.

"Since big brother's sister has a good relationship with this family's sister, then big brother must have a good relationship with her too!"

Hei Zizhe was also startled, and shook his head.

"No, I'm not very familiar with Dixiaolu. To be precise, I'm not very familiar with my sister's friends." He lowered his eyes slightly, "Besides, Dixiaolu is hostile to me, and I don't like her either. Look in the eyes of my sister."

——That kind of greed is so extreme, I wish to grab every bit of color from her body into my own eyes and seal it up forever, preventing others from touching a single bit of her eyes.

"We almost never spoke in private."

—except for the only time at the water's edge.

Except that time...

Kuroko Tetsuya's eyes suddenly widened.

...Erica Dikoulu, was that...was she actually asking for help?

"...Speaking of which, is there any activity in this shop today?" Mao Lilan looked at the queue of cars at the door strangely, "The door is also closed."

Heizi Tetsuya suddenly frowned.

"Did you hear that?"

The screeching sound of the siren came from far and near, and Kogoro Mori also turned his head abruptly, looking at the end of the street strangely.

"What the hell happened?"

next second.

Accompanied by a burst of terrified screams, flames shot up into the sky in Di Xiaolu's house!
