I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"...Sorry, Ogata-kun."

Mamiya Asaogata showed a faint wry smile.

"I can't tell you my real identity just yet."

"But I can tell you plainly—I mean no harm to you."

"I'm very interested in you who achieved the feat of killing a hundred enemies."

"Although I am not afraid of the Negishi family, I am also happy to find someone to assist me."

"I sincerely want to cooperate with you to find out the base camp of the Negishi family."

Speaking of this, Mamiya paused.

After a pause, added

"And——Ogata-kun, if I really harbor ill intentions towards you, since I met you, I have countless opportunities to kill you with one blow."

"I didn't draw my sword at you, walked side by side with you, and talked and laughed with you-this should be the strongest evidence that I have no malice towards you, right?"

After quietly listening to Mamiya's words, Ogata remained silent.

After a long while, Ogata silently removed his hand from the knife...

That night——

Tonight is a sunny day.

The slender crescent moon peeped at Karamoto village tenderly and affectionately.

The moonlight shot through the thin cracks in the clouds like a white blade, illuminating Shizuko's face

Karamoto Village is quite lively tonight.

After receiving the news that "a ronin killed someone", Tatsuno Fan's Yuli and Tongxin hurried to Karamoto Village.

The idlers in the surrounding area centered on this casino have all been expelled.

Only Yuli and Tongxin in uniforms came and went in and out of this bloody casino.

Soichi Fujino - one of the oldest masters of the Tatsuno clan.

Although Yu Li is the oldest one, he has never handled a few major cases in his life.

Those troublesome cases were basically pushed by Fujino to his subordinates.

Only those cases where there is a lot of money to be made, Fujino will do it himself.

The potbellied Fujino, with his big belly sticking out, led several of his subordinates into the casino holding their knives.

As soon as he entered the casino, the smell of blood made Fujino frowned.

"Quick! Lantern! Quick!"

Fujino waved his fat fingers roughly.

Under Fujino's order, the Tongxin behind him hurriedly raised the lanterns in their hands, stepped into the casino, and illuminated the casino.

Thanks to the light from these lanterns, Fujino finally had a clear view of the casino.

It's okay if you don't see clearly, once you see the scene inside the casino clearly, a strong sense of nausea immediately surges from Fujino's stomach.

A total of 6 bodies were found in the casino.

Each corpse stared into their eyes.

Looking at the wide-eyed eyes of these corpses, Fujino felt a strong discomfort, and almost vomited out the dinner he had just eaten.

Covering his mouth with his right hand, taking a few deep breaths, and suppressing the vomiting, Fujino dared to turn his eyes to each corpse again.

"hiss……"

Fujino gasped.

"So many people were killed... It seems that there are many murderers..."

Just as Fujino finished his murmur, a strange male voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"No, these people were all killed by the same person."

As soon as this male voice, which was extremely unfamiliar to Fujino, fell, Fujino widened his eyes full of doubts, and looked behind him.

Behind him stood a middle-aged man who had never seen him before in a black uniform.

And behind this middle-aged man, stood a dozen or so people also wearing this uniform with black as the main tone. On the lanterns they held in their hands, the word "Fire Robber" was written.

Fujino didn't know who these people in black were.

But he knew who the man standing next to these "men in black" was.

The person standing next to the group of "men in black" was one of the three elders of the Tatsuno Clan—Sano Muneken.

Seeing the old man here, Fujino hurriedly saluted him and said hello.

The leader of the group of "men in black"—that is, the middle-aged man who said "these people were all killed by the same person" just now turned his head and said to Sano Zongxian

"My lord, can you ask the officials of your clan to leave here for the time being?"

"Master Hasegawa, of course there is no problem." Sano said cheerfully.

The lord of the Tatsuno clan has only one task for Sano these days - on behalf of the Tatsuno clan, do their best to cooperate with the officials of Huofu Bandit Kai headed by Hasegawa Heizo.

So Sano not only wanted to go out of the city to meet Hasegawa and the others when they arrived at the Tatsuno Domain.

When Hasegawa and others settled down in Tatsuno Fan and launched their search, Sano had to follow up the whole process and give them all the help that Tatsuno Fan could give.

Sano waved his hand, signaling Fujino to lead his subordinates away quickly.

And Fujino was also very knowledgeable about current affairs, he quickly led his subordinates out of the casino without asking any more questions or doing anything.

After Fujino and others exited the gambling hall, the leader of the group of "men in black" - that is, Heizo Hasegawa waved his hand, and the officials behind him immediately carried their

^0^ Remember in a second【】

A lantern with the word "Fire Robber" written on it stepped into the gambling hall.

The positions of these officials who are responsible for carrying lanterns and lighting are quite particular.

The positions they stood in were just enough for the light from the lanterns in their hands to illuminate every corner of the gambling hall.

"Master Sano, please wait outside for a while."

"Of course, I understand the rules. I will never interfere with Hasegawa-sama's inspection of the murder scene."

After instructing Sano not to come in with him, Hasegawa walked slowly into the casino holding the knife.

And Hasegawa's right-hand man, Imai Cheng, followed closely behind.

Hasegawa stood in the center of the casino, looking around every corner of the casino.

He rests his left hand on the hilt of the knife and presses his right hand on the wrist of his left hand.

Seeing Hasegawa making this action, Imai on the side habitually held his breath and took it easy.

Because Imai understands - this is Hasegawa's habitual action.

Once Hasegawa enters the state of thinking, he will make this action.

So in order not to disturb Hasegawa's thinking, Imai would subconsciously breathe lightly after seeing Hasegawa make this action, and try his best to reduce the disturbance to Hasegawa.

Hasegawa glanced at the barnacle cut in half and the 6 dice scattered on the ground.

Then he looked at the young man who was beheaded with a knife, and he knew it was Hu Zhen at a glance.

Looking at Hu Zhen's beheaded little finger of his right hand, Hasegawa narrowed his eyes slightly.

Finally, he took another look at the four people who were holding knives in their hands, and they must be the guards of this casino.

Hasegawa's gaze was fixed on one of the guards for an exceptionally long time...

Because the wound on the guard's body was too familiar to Hasegawa...
