Chapter 285: Kira Yoshikage's Big Trouble

The next day, the morning of April 5, 1999.

Morioh Town welcomed several visitors from afar.

After learning the shocking news that Diablo might appear in Morioh Town, Lee Sin and Jotaro immediately decided to travel halfway across the world to kill him.

However, because the situation within the Passion organization has just stabilized, we cannot let our guard down for the time being, so we must leave enough combat power to help the organization.

The only ones involved in this cross-border manhunt are Jotaro, who is bent on revenge for his best friend, Polnareff, who has a long-standing grudge against Diavolo, Apakir, the intelligence expert who is the main force in tracking, Giorno who is indispensable as a nanny, and Lee Sin, who has the ability to subtly restrain the Scarlet King.

The remaining three, Mista, Fugo and Naranja, are led by Bucciarati and are responsible for maintaining the operation of the organization when Li Qing and others are away.

Li Qing and his group of five immediately set off from Rome Airport after receiving the news yesterday. After a long flight, they landed in Tokyo, took the Shinkansen to Sendai, and finally drove a rented car all the way to Morioh Town, a satellite city on the outskirts of Sendai, where Diablo was hiding at the moment.

“The jet lag is really uncomfortable…”

Abbage, the driver, tried to stay alert and asked Jotaro for directions:

"Mr. Jotaro, it's forward..."

"Would you like to go in the direction of that strange human-faced statue ahead?"

"Yes..."

"After passing the 'Angelo Rock', the Dongfang family is not far ahead."

When he saw the strange sculpture standing on the roadside ahead, an indescribable weirdness appeared on Jotaro's usually cold and serious face.

"Angelo Rock?"

Li Qing looked over curiously:

I saw a rough and blurry human face carved on the huge rock that was about one person tall. It looked ugly and weird.

But next to the stone there is a sign from the Morioh community that says "Please be careful to clean up dog poop", so at first glance it looks like an ordinary urban landscape set up by the Morioh municipal government.

"So ugly...what kind of aesthetic is this?"

Li Qing complained mercilessly.

But Giorno beside Li Qing frowned seriously and stared at the Angelo Rock:

"There's something wrong with this stone."

"I seem to be able to feel... it is 'alive'."

Because of the golden experience, Giorno is more sensitive to the mysterious breath of life.

Sometimes this trick can even be used as a life detector, but it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

“Don’t feel…”

“It’s alive.”

Giorno had just said a line that sounded like a ghost story when Jotaro added something even more frightening in a dark voice.

And just when the atmosphere suddenly became mysterious, he finally began to seriously recount the origin of this Angelo rock.

"I see."

"Angelo killed Josuke's grandfather, and Josuke wanted revenge but didn't want to kill anyone, so he turned him into a piece of stone."

"This...this is what he deserves."

Li Qing was a little hesitant when he spoke.

It must be said that Angelo Rock left him with an unprecedented deep impression.

Giorno, Abbazi, and even the knowledgeable Polnareff beside them all had subtle expressions.

Because... this method is really creepy.

Killing people is not enough, but turning people into stones that are neither alive nor dead, making them spend the rest of their lives in this state of being unable to live or die...

"Ha ha…"

Polnareff's smile became forced:

"I didn't expect that old man Joseph's son would be... so creative."

But no one would sympathize with Angelo who had done so many evil things.

Unconsciously, in everyone's mind, the Higashikata Josuke, whom everyone had never met, had become a ruthless character who killed people and destroyed their hearts.

But this impression was overturned a minute later.

"You are the comrades that Jotaro was talking about, right?"

"Please come in... Although it's a little late, my mother still prepared breakfast for everyone."

The young man who had been labeled as cold in everyone's mind was now carefully combing his strange hairstyle with a small comb, while greeting Li Qing and others in a gentle and enthusiastic tone.

Abbaccio doesn't speak Japanese at all, Polnareff can only speak a little Japanese, and Giorno has been away from home for many years and his Japanese is extremely unfamiliar.

Only Li Qing can communicate without any obstacles.

His Mandarin sounded like a pure Neapolitan accent to Giorno, but to Higashikata Josuke it sounded like the local accent of Morioh Town:

"Hello, I'm Jotaro's friend, Lee Sin."

"These are my comrades, Giorno, Abbazi, and Polnareff."

Li Qing introduced his identity one by one, and also praised Higashikata Josuke:

"Your hairstyle is very distinctive and looks good."

This was something Jotaro reminded him of, if one wants to get along well with his uncle it is best to compliment his hair - at the very least, absolutely no criticism is allowed.

And Li Qing's praise was not false.

For Li Qing, whose scalp can be used as a mirror, having hair is enviable enough, and having hair so thick that it can be made into a pile of cow dung is even more enviable.

"Oh?" Josuke was very pleased with the compliment: "Mr. Li Qing, your Japanese is really authentic."

"Haha... I'm better at languages."

Li Qing smiled lightly and stopped being polite:

"Let's not talk too much about gossip."

"We want to meet Mr. Kira Yoshikage right now, is that ok?"

"Of course, he's waiting in the restaurant now."

"Because of Diablo, I asked for leave from school today, and he didn't dare to go out to work."

Josuke briefly introduced the situation and then led Li Qing and his group into the restaurant.

Kira Yoshikage was sitting at the dining table drinking tea.

But when Li Qing and his group of five strangers who were obviously extraordinary walked in, he suddenly felt like a thorn in his back.

Because their temperament is too oppressive.

This is a mysterious feeling that is hard to describe, but Kira Yoshikage can feel it:

Polnareff is like a sword drawn from its sheath, and Jotaro is like a standing mountain.

Giorno's eyes were as calm as water and as steady as stone, while Abbasi's eyes were sharp and alert like a policeman.

Li Qing is the most unpredictable.

Because this bald man didn't even look at people straight in the eye. As soon as he entered the door, his ears moved slightly, and no one knew what he was listening to.

And it is obvious that these five people are now observing him, Kira Yoshikage.

"Hello everyone."

Kira Yoshikage forced a smile, trying hard not to reveal any flaws.

"Don't be nervous."

Li Qing had a smile on his face, but he took the lead and sat in front of Kira Yoshikage with a slightly imposing manner:

"I just want to know what happened yesterday."

"According to you, you and your girlfriend saw Diablo dumping a body into the sea, so he targeted you, right?"

"That's right."

Kira Yoshikage nodded calmly.

He had gone over this statement in his mind countless times and would never reveal any flaws when lying.

The body seen in the lie had been "thrown into the sea", so even if someone wanted to investigate, there was no way to do it.

Therefore, Kira Yoshikage was completely justified when he told this lie, and even his breathing was not disordered.

He performed extremely well, but he didn't expect Li Qing's focus to be:

"Didn't your girlfriend and dad just die?"

"Why don't you look sad..."

"Forehead…"

Kirara Yoshikage's face froze:

I was only thinking about how to lie without revealing any flaws, but I forgot about my character.

At this moment, under Li Qing's gaze, his calm face suddenly trembled slightly:

"Father...Miyuki..."

Kira Yoshikage even read out the name of his 46th girlfriend.

He really knew the personal information of Miss Miyuki. Although it was just a preliminary investigation he did in order to kill someone perfectly, it was completely enough for him to make up a story now.

"They have all...have already..."

Two lines of hot tears rolled down:

"That devil...that bastard..."

"It wasn't enough that he killed my father and Miyuki... He even chopped off Miyuki's hand and put it in his pocket to show me!"

Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.

It was like the accumulated flood finally broke the dam. After thinking about those cruel and inhumane "sad things", Kira Yoshikage, who had been acting like an English gentleman, suddenly burst into tears like the male protagonist in a Qiong Yao drama:

"Don't mention these things anymore."

Higashikata Josuke said with some reluctance:

"Mr. Kira, he, he knew all these horrible things for my mother."

“That’s why I persisted and didn’t let my sadness overflow!”

Kira Yoshikage's acting was so perfect that at least Josuke was moved beyond words.

"That's... okay."

Li Qing looked away with a strange expression:

Others might be conquered by his acting skills, but he has been monitoring Kira Yoshikage's heartbeat and breathing...

Judging from his relatively calm physical features, this guy's sadness doesn't seem to be that sincere.

"Mr. Kira, calm down for a moment."

Li Qing went straight to the next topic:

" Can you recall where and when you saw Diablo dump the body yesterday?"

"Eh?" Kira Yoshikage was slightly stunned.

He wiped the tears from his face and tentatively asked calmly:

"You ask these questions, is there any way to track down that bastard?"

"Of course."

Li Qing pointed at Apache next to him:

"As long as we know the exact time and place, my friend's stand-in, 'Melancholy Blues', can recreate the scene at that location at that time."

"It's like a TV rerun of whatever happened there..."

He paused and said meaningfully:

“We can all see it.”

Hearing this, Kirara Yoshikage's heart immediately began to beat violently:

Just like a replay, you can see everything?

Wouldn't his lies be exposed in an instant? !

What should I do?

Kirara Yoshikage's expression changed for a while, and finally he gave this answer under Li Qing's gaze:

"It's great to have such a convenient ability."

"Let me think, yesterday...yesterday..."

"Yesterday, Miyuki and I went to the beach, at... at..."

As he was talking, Kira Yoshikage suddenly held his head and cried out:

“Ahhh—”

"It hurts, my head hurts... Why... It hurts like I'm dying when I think about it."

Amidst this roar of agony, two lines of tears filled with sadness slid down from the corners of his eyes.

“…”

The corners of Li Qing's mouth twitched slightly:

How come he has amnesia? It's like a Qiong Yao drama!

"Stop provoking him."

The considerate, gentle and kind Higashikata Josuke couldn't help but stand up again:

"Mr. Kira must be too sad, so his brain subconsciously doesn't want to recall that memory."

Kira Yoshikage silently gave Josuke a thumbs up in his heart, and then continued to act like he had a splitting headache.

His acting was very good, at least most people except Li Qing were infected by his "heartfelt" sadness.

"All right…"

Li Qing sighed helplessly:

"Abbaki, let's go directly to Mr. Kira's house."

"Anyway, now we know for sure that Diablo has been there, and we can also calculate the approximate time, right?"

Wh, what?

Kira Yoshikage's heart began to beat violently again:

Want to go to my house?

Then won’t the scene of me being affectionate with the severed hand yesterday definitely be rebroadcast?

It’s over…how can this show go on?

Kira Yoshikage was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

At this moment, he clearly felt what Diablo meant by "bigger trouble" on the phone.

Li Qing and his companions are like a flood that penetrates every corner.

With these guys around, there's no way he can keep his secrets hidden!

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Kira Yoshikage had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out how to stop Li Qing and others' investigation.

Li Qing had already stood up, as if he was about to set out to investigate the scene.

"It's over..."

Kira Yoshikage was disheartened.

He found that his peaceful life seemed to be completely gone forever.

His mood became extremely desperate and the whole world became dark.

The ancient arrowhead that had been hidden in his pocket seemed to sense the despair of its owner, and it began to tremble slightly in an imperceptible manner.

However, at this moment...

The radio on the dining table suddenly rang cheerfully:

"Good morning, this is Morioh Town Radio!"

"I am your neighbor, Harada Kai. Today is another clear and refreshing morning."

"But unfortunately, something bad just happened in our town..."

"This morning, a fire broke out in the villa area of Morioh-cho. A large house with the name 'Kiraya' was razed to the ground in the fire."

"Firefighters are still searching the fire scene and hope there are no casualties."

“…”

Upon hearing this news, Kirara Yoshikage 's eyes suddenly lit up:

His house burned down?

If the whole house burned down, then the stand-in that needed a "location" to replay wouldn't work, right?

Seeing Li Qing's expression suddenly become serious, this was obviously verified.
