Chapter 291 Reasons for Leaving
After seeing off the mysterious Rohan Kishibe, the Dongfang family returned to peace.
Although everyone was left with an unsolved mystery in their hearts, as experienced warriors, they did not stop because of this doubt.
Life must go on and Diablo must continue to be dealt with.
Since no information can be obtained from Kishibe Rohan, they will do things their own way.
To be precise, it is Li Qing's method:
At noon, after lunch.
Nothing happened after seeing off Rohan Kishibe in the morning, and Li Qing did not show any suspicion in front of Kira Yoshikage again.
In this way, Kira Yoshikage happily played with his hands secretly for the whole morning and lived a very comfortable life.
It wasn't until after lunch that things changed.
Tomoko Higashikata is going to the supermarket to buy daily necessities and food, and Josuke Higashikata takes the initiative to ask to accompany her.
Diablo is a guy who is capable of doing anything despicable. Josuke doesn't to let his mother know the truth, nor does he dare to let his mother wander around Morioh Town alone.
So he suddenly took the initiative to act as a bodyguard under the pretext of spending more time with his mother, which deeply moved Dongfang Pengzi, who was unaware of the truth.
After Josuke Higashikata left, Jotaro and Apaki also went out.
"What are they going out for?"
"Are there any clues about Diablo?"
Kirara Yoshikage pretended to be nothing and sat in front of Li Qing to chat, but there was a hint of nervousness in his tone.
Jotaro was fine, but when he saw Apaki, who was able to see through all the truth, suddenly leave, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
And his concerns were not misplaced.
Because Li Qing immediately said something in that calm tone that was enough to make Kirara Yoshikage's heart twitch:
"It's because there are no clues that Apache needs to go out and investigate."
"Jotaro-san is responsible for protecting him."
"This time, maybe we can find out something."
"Investigate?" Kira Yoshikage asked subtly, "My house was burned down, wasn't it? What else can we find out..."
"Your house was burned down, but the streets around your house couldn't have been burned down as well, right?"
Li Qing put on a meaningful smile:
"Although I can't see what happened in that house yesterday, Melancholy Blues can at least try to see the scene before you returned home."
" Of course , since we don't know the exact time, Apache will have to go to the road near your home and try again and again."
"It will take a lot of work, but sooner or later we will find the clues."
"Alas... what a pity..."
He even put on a look of regret:
"If you hadn't lost your memory, Mr. Kirara, our investigation would have been much easier."
"Uh...ha...sorry..."
"I really can't provide any more clues."
Kirara Yoshikage pretended to be calm, but his heart was already in turmoil:
That Apache has already started investigating on the streets near his home?
Damn...if this continues...
Sooner or later the image of him walking home with a severed hand yesterday will be replayed!
Sooner or later these guys will find out that the perverted killer is not Diablo at all, but Kira Yoshikage.
The shoddy lies he made up would soon be ruthlessly exposed.
What should I do…what should I do? !
Kira Yoshikage tried to pretend to be calm, but the unprecedented tension was quietly overflowing.
He began to chew his nails unconsciously.
However, Li Qing added fuel to the fire and said:
"Don't worry."
"Although Josuke, Jotaro, and Apaki are busy outside, there are still me, Giorno, and Mr. Polnareff watching over the house."
"With the three of us protecting you, you'll be fine."
“…Thank you, everyone.”
Kira Yoshikage forced a smile to deal with Li Qing.
In his heart, he could no longer hold back and cursed out loud:
Protection? Is this protection?
With the three of you watching me, it’s too late for me to escape now!
When Apache sends me the results of the investigation, I will be dead without a burial place!
No, I can't stay here any longer, I have to find a way to escape quickly.
That Diablo is right, he and I are companions, and this bald guy will only be a nuisance that prevents me from enjoying a peaceful life!
Kira Yoshikage's brain was working frantically.
The enemy who killed his father, who was regarded as a thorn in his side yesterday, has now become the only companion that Kira Yoshikage can rely on.
He now wanted to contact Diablo as soon as possible, and then find a way to escape from the sight of Li Qing and others.
but…
How to lure these three guys away?
If they stay here and don't leave, I won't be able to even make a phone call with peace of mind!
Kira Yoshikage was thinking about this serious question.
What he didn't expect was that at the same time, Giorno and Polnareff beside Li Qing were also thinking about the same question:
"Hey... Li Qing, what excuse do we have to leave?"
They even whispered directly to Li Qing.
Because this is the strategy that Li Qing and everyone else have worked out:
First use words to shock Kira Yoshikage and make him realize that his identity will inevitably be exposed.
In a panic, Kira Yoshikage will definitely contact Diablo, and may even meet with him directly.
Before that, Li Qing and others would deliberately find excuses to leave and create a loophole that would allow Kira Yoshikage to escape safely.
At that time, they will have a great chance of following Kira Yoshikage's escape route and finding Diavolo's whereabouts in one fell swoop.
so…
Josuke Higashikata directly became his mother's bodyguard, and naturally took his mother away from this trouble.
Jotaro and Apaki pretended to investigate, but in fact they just drove away from the Higashikata family.
In order to prevent Kira Yoshikage from discovering the flaws and not letting him notice anything strange during his escape, they hid directly in a small town a few kilometers away, waiting for Li Qing to send a signal before coming back to participate in the investigation.
The remaining three who have not found a reason to leave are Li Qing, Giorno and Polnareff who stayed at the Dongfang family.
It is reasonable that they should not leave easily in order to "protect Mr. Kira who is being persecuted by Diablo."
If the reason for leaving is too poor, Kira Yoshikage will most likely find the flaw.
Therefore, Giorno and Polnareff both have a slight headache now.
"that…"
Under the inquiring gazes of his two companions, Li Qing gave the answer -
He suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked out the window:
"What's the situation with that house?"
Li Qing's gaze suddenly locked onto a dilapidated old house.
The house was very close to the Dongfang family, only about a hundred meters away, and could be clearly seen with the naked eye.
It looks very old, with its windows and roof decayed by the erosion of time.
There was no light in the room. Even under the midday sun, it still felt eerie and mysterious.
"You mean this house?"
It was Kirara Yoshikage who answered Li Qing's question:
"I asked Josuke yesterday, too."
"Josuke said it was an abandoned old house and no one had lived in it for three or four years."
“No one has lived here for three or four years?”
Li Qing repeated it in a questioning tone.
"Yes. Josuke said he's always lived here, and he wouldn't be unaware if someone moved in."
Kira Yoshikage said with certainty.
"That's a problem."
Li Qing suddenly stood up with a serious look:
"There are people in that house, and more than one person."
"One lives on the top floor, and the other two are on the second floor."
"More importantly—"
"Those two guys were standing by the window just now, as if they were spying on us."
"Eh?" Giorno and Polnareff were caught off guard by Li Qing 's sudden performance.
But Li Qing just said seriously:
"It's true, my super hearing is never wrong."
"It's only a distance of about 100 meters, but I can hear everything that happened in that room."
"Mr. Kirara..."
He suddenly said to Kira Yoshikage in great seriousness:
"Please protect yourself first."
"I need to go investigate that house with Giorno and Polnareff."
"Eh?" Happiness came too suddenly, and Kira Yoshikage was a little slow to react: "Why don't you leave someone here?"
"cannot…"
"The other side has more people and more power. If we go too few, there might be problems."
Li Qing said with a serious expression.
Having said that, without waiting for Giorno and Polnareff to question him, he immediately stood up and pushed the door open without any hesitation.
Giorno and Polnareff looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to follow Li Qing out of the Dongfang family's gate.
Just like that, Kira Yoshikage was the only one left at home, with no one to look after him.
“Hello…”
Polnareff followed Li Qing for a long distance before he could no longer hold back and raised his opinion:
"Li Qing, what excuse are you looking for?"
"You can't be so impatient to leave!"
"yes…"
Giorno also agreed helplessly:
"This excuse is really lame. It's just like a leave request made up by a serial writer. It's full of loopholes."
"Kira Yoshikage will definitely find something fishy."
"No...I won't."
"Kirara Yoshikage must be spying on us from behind right now."
"As soon as we actually start fighting in that house, he'll know we're not kidding."
Li Qing replied in a serious tone.
"That's true, but..."
"Fight? Are we going to fight the air?"
Polnareff looked puzzled.
"Of course not."
Li Qing suddenly turned on the data mode.
He opened his lifeless eyes and looked up at the eerie haunted house standing in front of him:
"I didn't make up what I just said."
"There really is someone in that house."
