I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Text Chapter 304 Capture Mucun Alive

"I know this..." Shimada carefully looked at the powder on Mucun's finger, and nodded slightly, "I saw my mother used this thing."

"This incense powder is called 'Wakasa Incense'."

When the word "Wakasaka" was said, Mucun's eyes flickered slightly.

"It is an extremely rare incense powder from the Wakasa area."

"Not only is it rare, but because the fragrance is extremely peculiar compared to other fragrance powders, it is not a very pleasing fragrance powder."

"Compared with other incense powders, the biggest advantage of this 'Wakasa incense' may be that the fragrance lasts for a long time, and the fragrance can last for several hours."

"It's rare, and it's not very popular, so looking around the entire Kyoto now, it's not likely that anyone has used this 'Wakasa incense'."

"Wakasa incense was splashed on the ground at the murder scene of the 43rd, 44th, and 45th victims."

"If there is only one 'Wakasaka' on the ground at the scene of the murder, it can be explained by coincidence."

"However, 'Wakasa' was found in three consecutive murder scenes, so it cannot be described as 'coincidence'."

"This 'Wakasa incense' should have fallen from the murderer's body."

After quietly listening to Mucun's reasoning, Shimada's eyes immediately filled with admiration.

"Senior Mucun, you are so strong! You actually forcibly opened up a new clue so quickly!"

"It's no big deal." Mu Cun said with a blank face, while slowly standing up, "More than half of the clues of the case can be obtained by observing the crime scene."

"Let's go, Shimada."

"Go? Where are you going?"

"Iguchiya, a powder shop."

Makimura spat out a store name that was extremely unfamiliar to Shimada.

"Did I just say it? This 'Wakasa incense' is extremely rare, and few people buy it, so in the whole of Kyoto, only this Iguchiya sells this 'Wakasa incense'."

"Senior Mucun...you are really amazing..."

The admiration in Shimada's eyes has grown to a frightening level.

"I even know which store sells what kind of incense powder."

"Why do you even know what kind of powder is sold in any store?"

"...Because I used to be Yori in Kyoto." After a moment of silence, Mucun said casually.

...

...

"...Unexpectedly, Kondo is the enthusiastic person who helped send you home, Fuma-sama..." After quietly listening to Fuma explain how he and Kondo met, Ogata sighed softly with.

When Fuma and Fuma called out each other's names, both Ogata and A-Machi were full of astonishment.

Fuma, who recognized the astonishment on the faces of Ogata and A-Machi, explained to Ogata and A-Machi in simple sentences why he met Kondo.

During the daytime today, Feng Mo talked to Ogata, Lin, and the others: he is getting old now, and he accidentally slipped when he was out shopping some time ago. Thanks to a kind person who helped him, He was able to go home.

And Kondo is that kind-hearted person.

That's how Fuma met Kondo.

"Why do you two call Kotaro-sama 'Fuma-sama'?" Kondo Asaogata and A-Machi cast doubtful glances.

"Kondo." Fuma replied ahead of Ogata and Atachi, "People always have various nicknames. Fuma is just one of my nicknames."

From the conversation between Kondo and Fuma, and Kondo's name for Fuma, it is not difficult to see that Kondo does not know the true identity of Fuma.

But this is also normal - it is impossible for Feng Mo to fully reveal his true identity to a person who has only met him once.

"Brother Ogata." Feng Mo asked Ogata at this time, "What's the situation now?"

Fuma pouted at the dead body of the murderer who sniped Inaba.

"What's the matter with this person? And—why is Kondo here?"

"That's a long story..." Ogata sighed softly.

...

...

The murderer sniped Inaba with a rifled gun a hundred meters away, and after catching up with the murderer, the murderer committed suicide, and Kondo mistakenly thought that he and Acho were murderers——Ogata summarized everything that happened just now in as short a sentence as possible .

After Ogata's voice fell, Fumo stroked the long beard hanging from his chin:

"They managed to get Nanban's new iron cannon...these guys are not young..."

"Why did they sneak attack on the owner of the metaphysics hall?" After seeing the corpse of the murderer who apparently committed suicide, and seeing this strange iron cannon that he had never seen before, Kondo already believed that Ogata and the two were Innocent.

"Who knows. In short-meeting with the owner of the Metaphysics Hall just now, it is not for nothing."

Ogata said softly.

"At least I know that the wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Hall were kidnapped, and I also know where the wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Hall are being held."

Although Inaba was attacked by a sniper just now, but fortunately - he didn't hit a vital point. If he was treated in time, his life should not be in danger.

What makes Ogata feel even more fortunate is that before being attacked, Inaba promptly revealed the place where his wife and daughter were being held, which he painstakingly found out.

And Ogata also remembered this string of addresses.

Go to the place where Inaba's wife and daughter were imprisoned, maybe they can find some new clues.

"Master Fengmo, do you know where this place is located?"

Ogata reported to Fumo the address of the place where Inaba's wife and daughter were being held.

After listening to the string of addresses reported by Ogata, Fumo frowned slightly.

"Well... this place..."

A-cho, who noticed that Fuma's expression was not right, asked aloud:

"Master Feng Mo, what's wrong?"

"This place... is the 'burned area'."

"Burned area?" Ogata asked doubtfully.

"It was an area that was burnt down by the Tianming fire two years ago and has not been fully rebuilt until now." Fuma replied softly, "Although it has been two years since the Tianming fire, the current financial situation of the shogunate is not optimistic. , and failed to allocate too much funds for disaster relief and reconstruction to the Kyoto Prefecture.”

"Until now, large areas of Kyoto have been burned and not rebuilt."

"We all call these areas the 'burnt zone'."

"Because these areas are in a state of being rebuilt, these areas are considered no-man's land, only some homeless people wander there."

"No one lives there..." Ogata said in a half-joking tone, "This kind of place is indeed suitable for setting up secret strongholds for detaining people."

"...Brother Ogata." Feng Mo waved at Ogata, "You have said that - that wandering girl named Dieyin gave you a map of Kyoto, bring that map, I will go there The route of the place will be drawn for you."

"I really have to get old..."

Speaking of this, Feng Mo smiled wryly.

"I'm ashamed to say... First I took you to the Metaphysics Hall, and then followed you to chase after the guy who sniped the owner of the Metaphysics Hall. My legs are hurting badly right now... I thought my legs were still there." Can I last a little longer..."

"Master Fumo... Thank you for your assistance just now." Ogata handed the map he got from Dieyin to Fumo, and smiled wryly along with Fengmo, "You should go and have a good rest now. The next thing is to Leave it to me and Machi."

Because he didn't have any charcoal pencils on hand, Feng Mo directly bit off his finger, used blood instead of a pen, and began to draw on the map.

After receiving the map from Fuma, Ogata took a rough look—the place where Inaba's wife and daughter were imprisoned is not far from where they are now.

"Machi, let's go."

"Ok!"

When Ogata and Fuma were talking just now, A-Machi silently carried the rifled gun on his back, and then searched for something on the "original owner" of the rifled gun.

Ogata glanced at the rifled gun behind Ah-Machi, and asked aloud:

"Ming, are you sure you want to bring this iron cannon with you?"

"This is a rare item, don't let it go to waste."

After finishing speaking, A-Ming tossed the two small cloth bags held in the palm of his right hand lightly into the air, and then caught them precisely.

"This is the bullets and gunpowder I just found from that guy. These bullets and gunpowder are enough for me to squander for a while."

Letting Ah-Ming, who is good at shooting, take this rifled gun can really make the best use of it, so Ogata didn't say anything more.

After putting the map away in his pocket, Ogata strode forward.

However—just after walking 2 steps forward, Kondo, who had been looking thoughtful since just now, seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly stopped in front of Ogata with a stride.

"What?" Ogata frowned slightly.

"Tengu-sama!" Kondo yelled in his loud voice.

Then, with the momentum of Mount Tai - quickly kneeling on the ground.

"Please let me worship you as my teacher!"

"... Huh?" Ogata tilted his head.

"I always thought I was already a master."

Kondo pressed his forehead firmly to the ground.

"Until now, I didn't know that I was just a frog in a well."

"Just now I dared to say to you 'I'm very strong' without shame. Now just thinking about what I said just now, I feel extremely ashamed!"

"Master Tengu, I am overwhelmed by your sword skills!"

"I finally met a real master in Kyoto!"

"My goal is to be the strongest swordsman in the world!"

"For this goal, I have been eager to become stronger!"

Speaking of this, Kondo suddenly raised his head.

"So—please accept me as an apprentice! Teach me swordsmanship!"

"Sorry, I have no plans to accept apprentices." After Ogata replied without thinking, he led A-Machi to bypass Kondo who was kneeling on the ground in the position of Doshizaza.

However, before Ogata and Atachi could walk a few steps away, Kondo quickly got up, walked in front of the two again, and knelt down on the ground again in the position of Dogeza.

"Please accept me as your apprentice! I sincerely want to worship you as my teacher! You are the strongest warrior I have ever seen!"

"I also sincerely want to reject you."

After finishing speaking, Ogata led A-Machi to walk around Kondo and walked forward quickly.

However, Kondo chased after him again, and fell to the ground again.

"Please accept me as a disciple!"

Kondo completely entered the "repeater" mode, and began to keep saying "please accept me as an apprentice".

Ogata glanced helplessly at Kondo who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly.

The next moment, Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face sank immediately.

Take a half step back, lower your body's center of gravity, lift Da Shitian up with your left hand, put your right hand on the handle of Da Shitian's knife, and stare at the front of you, that is, behind Kondo—the movements are all done in one go.

Kondo, who thought that some enemy was approaching, immediately looked serious, got up from the ground, and turned around.

While turning around, he also put his right hand on the hilt of the knife like Ogata, ready to face the enemy.

However——after turning around, Kondo was shocked to find that there was no one behind him.

There are no enemies approaching - just as this question emerged in Kondo's mind, a series of strange noises sounded behind Kondo.

Kondo, who finally realized something, hurriedly turned his head - Ogata and A-cho, who were standing behind him just now, had rushed to the roof of the nearby private house, and they were completely gone.

"Damn it... I was cheated...!"

After cursing secretly, Kondo pulled himself together and rushed out of the alley, preparing to chase after Ogata and A-cho.

Fumo, who had been standing there watching Ogata, Kondo and the others leave, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

But this faint smile was mixed with a bit of sadness.

"... Genichi... You're right. At any time, the figure of a young man is so dazzling that an old man like me just wants to look away..."

"Hiss... my knee hurts... is there a tea house nearby where I can rest my feet..."

...

...

Kyoto, the execution office.

The Executive Office - the center of the power of the Kyoto government.

At this moment, in a certain hidden room in the enforcement office, bursts of sobbing came out.

In the room, a thick and long hemp rope hangs from the ceiling.

A man in his early 20s was bound to this thick and long hemp rope hanging down naturally.

A white cloth was tied behind his ear to his mouth, preventing him from making any noise other than whimpering.

And in front of this man, stood a middle-aged man who was probably over 40 years old.

Although this middle-aged man is not too young, his body is still very strong, and the bulging muscles can be vaguely felt through the kimono.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was holding a knife in his hand, and was facing the knife with a cold light.

After waving to the air a few times, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the young man who was hanging and crying tears of fear.

"Uta, be happy, your slut body was beheaded by Bizen Osafune—this is your honor."

The tone of the middle-aged man was quite flat, as if he was talking about a very common and natural thing.

After all, without any hesitation, the middle-aged man used "Cassock Slash" to the young man in front of him...

"Oh..." The middle-aged man waved his knife, shaking off the blood on the knife, "As expected of Bizen Osafune... He cut a person in half easily... Ah, no no Well, my feet were almost polluted by this filthy intestines, come here! Clean up the room!"

As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, there was a loud echoing sound from outside the room.

After retracting the newly purchased precious sword into its scabbard, the middle-aged man strode out of his knife-testing room with the sword in hand.

As soon as he walked out of his knife-testing room, an official walked up to meet him and knelt down in front of the middle-aged man.

"Master Abe, I have something to tell you."

The middle-aged man called "Abe-sama" is none other than Abe Riri, the leader in charge of Kyoto.

"What is it?"

As soon as Abe's words fell, the official immediately got up, put his lips to Abe's ear, and whispered a few words in Abe's ear.

When the whisper fell, Abe's pupils shrank slightly.

"'Sword Dragon' is back? Is this serious?"

"Really." The official nodded vigorously, "He seems to have been commissioned by Shenshan to investigate the '45 murder case' that has continued since last night."

"...Go." Abe contemplated for a moment, then showed a meaningful smile, "Split some people to capture Mucun for me."
