And Bai Shuiqiu could only figure out some meaning from these brief responses, even guessing.

The reason why the Hojo family pursued the Qingluhuo was naturally not for the hypocritical reasons of "revenge the ancestors in the family", nor was it "for the safety of the people", but simply wanted to get the body of the Qingluhuo.

Well, the "body" here means literally.

A powerful monster that has practiced for thousands of years, its body is no different from a natural treasure house for practitioners. Any part, even the smallest strand of hair, can also be used as the material for tempering magical tools.

——In fact, Bai Shuiqiu once thought about borrowing a few feathers from the old monsters to make "Devil Breaking Arrows", but he didn't put this idea into action. And the "positioning magic weapon" she got from the old monster is essentially a feather of the body of Jiufeng Shion.

In addition, the two abilities of "weird fire" and "memory manipulation" possessed by Qingluhuo made the Hojo family even more greedy. The main purpose of the latter was to see the formation of these two abilities from the old monsters. Mechanism, and then take it as one's own.

"Isn't it okay to live in peace..."

Obviously he is already from a family of noble Onmyojis, do you have to do this kind of chestnut out of the fire for a little extra power?

Even if the old monster is really captured, can the Hojo family be able to thoroughly study her abilities? This kind of thing is more difficult than simply catching the blue heron fire...

Bai Shuiqiu was unable to complain.

After interrogating for a while, five or six minutes have passed.

At this time, the sound of a loud alarm bell could be heard faintly, coming from the other side of the road.

After a while, a few police cars came to this area. Four or five policemen jumped from above. When they got out of the car, they took out their pistols. Among them, two policemen were holding black explosion-proof shields and riot forks. The enemy's expression looked over here:

"No one is allowed to move, all hold their heads and squat down!"

"..."

The shouts of several policemen did not have any practical effect. The two sides still maintained a confrontational attitude, and the atmosphere was even more tense than just now. And several Kyoto police officers did not dare to take it lightly in this situation. One of them stepped back and stood in front of the police car and began to call for support, while the others held up their pistols and explosion-proof shields and stood ready:

"Who shot the gun just now?"

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu glanced at Ryoko, then turned to look at Keiko Kandaro next to him.

Dongying’s firearms practice is very strict. The legal holding of firearms is only for a small number of firearms. Any shooting involving live ammunition is a major case. If the gun that Ryoko fired just now was a rubber bullet, it’s okay, but if it’s live ammunition... It's really hard to explain.

It is estimated that the arrival of this group of police officers may be because the nearby residents heard the gunshots and called the police.

Facing Bai Shuiqiu's worries, Keiko Kandaji offered a relieved expression, then raised his hands and walked slowly to the police:

"Several police officers, we are tourists from Chiba Prefecture. We encountered these gangsters blocking the road and robbed them. We had to take some self-defense measures. Fortunately, the crisis is now resolved..."

"Self-defense?"

Several police officers obviously didn't believe it.

Both Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaro wore a yukata, and they were very tender in age and face. They indeed looked like innocent tourists who were accidentally involved in the robbery, saying that self-defense is excusable.

But Ryoko and his party were all wearing black suits and holding guns in their hands. They really didn't look like a kind person anymore. When they first came here, several police officers even thought they had encountered a gang fire.

"You guys, put down your guns! Hurry up!"

Ryoko nodded first, and then the rest of the people put away their guns.

Until this time, the policemen dared to approach, signaled Ryoko to stand side by side, and then helped Shiya Asano up. When seeing the injuries on this guy, the policeman who helped people glanced at Bai Shuiqiu subconsciously.

"This person just tried to plot against me. I have to take proper defense."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled and continued following the explanation given by Keiko Kaminari.

This sentence is actually true.

Because Shiya Asano’s plan was indeed to "trap and detain underage girls." It was only because of some changes that the plan was unsuccessful. However, even if it was an attempted operation, it was enough to support the argument of "justified defense", even if it was entered. In the police station, she is also on the side of Zhanli.

However, the focus of this young policeman does not seem to be here.

After taking a few glances at Bai Shuiqiu, the young policeman finally couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, may I ask you the national champion in the recently concluded IH Kyudo Contest, the one from Narita High School in Chiba Prefecture? Classmates?"

"Huh? I am, what's the matter?"

"It turns out it's really you. I've been watching your game before, and I've been paying attention since the first game. I didn't expect that a young girl like you would have such a high level of archery, and the person looks so cute... …"

After getting Bai Shuiqiu's personal confirmation, the young policeman suddenly became excited.

"Ahem, Murakami, it's time to handle the case..."

Another old policeman reminded him from behind.

The young policeman surnamed Murakami scratched his head a little embarrassedly, took out a notepad from his arms, and spread it out in his hands: "Sorry, Shirashui, although you are the champion of the IH competition, you still need to deal with it. After giving a detailed account of the incident in order to leave a transcript... Please tell the truth."

Murakami's performance gave Bai Shuiqiu a sigh of relief.

She was still worried about whether this group of police had also colluded with the Hojo family in advance, and if Shiya Asano and others failed in their actions, they would take over the Hojo family's plan and arrest her.

But now it seems that the Hojo family is not so hand-eyed, able to buy the police from the nearby police station into their own lackeys.

In this case, things still have some room for maneuver.

At the moment, Bai Shuiqiu probably explained what had just happened.

Among them, the unfavorable parts for herself and Keiko Kashiro were slightly ambiguous by her, and the focus was on describing the "outrageous and unreasonable" and "attempt to kidnap her" of Asano and others.

With the soft and weak temperament that Bai Shuiqiu revealed to the outside world, this explanation is still very convincing.

On the other side, one of the group of bodyguards of Keiko Kashiro also walked out of a lawyer, took the cross-examination of Murakami and others, and started talking.

After all, the Shindai family is a consortium. Although its main business location is in the Kanto region, there are also a small number of forces on the Kyoto side of Kansai, and they have long experience in handling such conflicts. Anyway, Shiya Asano and others received only a little "minor injury", and no casualties occurred. In some places, just a little blurring can omit the role played by Shiraitoaki and Keiko Kamidai in the middle link.

Gradually, most of the firepower was attracted by lawyers.

After Bai Shuiqiu followed the Murakami police officer to finish the transcript, he became free and stood aside and waited for a while, and saw Keiko Kandashi also walk by Shi Shiran.

"How about it, Ryoko and others... Doesn't it matter?

If necessary, I can go to Asakura's house for help..."

Bai Shuiqiu was a little worried.

Her own actions can be interpreted as "legitimate defense", but the shot Ryoko fired is not easy to explain. After all, this matter was caused by her, so Bai Shuiqiu went to the Asakura family to come forward. Help with reasonable ideas. In any case, the latter is also a local snake in Kyoto City. In addition, he has to deal with some extraordinary incidents from time to time, and he must have very close contact with the police.

Furthermore, the area around Lishan Town is still within the responsibility of Yasaka Shrine, so it should be talkable.

The only trouble is that it might owe a favor, the favor of the Asakura family, I think it is not so good...

In response, Keiko Kashiro smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's just a little trouble. Ryoko and the lawyer will solve it properly. There is no need to trouble others... If Qiujiang gets tired, let's go back and rest first?"

Mime private 516

"This is not suitable..."

Bai Shuiqiu hesitated a little.

If possible, she would naturally want to go back soon, to sum up the information she just got from Asano Shiya, and then discuss with the old monster to plan the next course of action. But as the parties involved in this "kidnapping case," whether they can leave is not their own final say, it depends on the police.

Even if the police are willing to release people...

Bai Shuiqiu was too embarrassed to leave Ryoko and the others.

After all, the cause of the matter was her. Ryoko and the others were actually just here to help. They had suffered a disaster. If they left them alone, they would always feel like selling their teammates...

But Ryoko himself didn't think so much.

While making the transcript, the female bodyguard gave Keiko Kandaji a wink and motioned them to leave first.

When Ryoko's transcript was finished, Keiko Kandai took advantage of the trend to raise this request to the police.

"...You and Baishui classmate, want to go back to the residence to rest first?"

It was the old police officer with the highest rank among the several police officers who spoke.

"Yeah, today isn't it the post-meeting of the Gion Matsuri. We were originally visiting the festival in Kyoto. We have been walking in the neighborhood for a long time before. We didn't even change our clothes. We were still wearing the yukata we used when we went out. Thinking of encountering such a terrible thing here...

You probably already know the causes and consequences of the matter now, so if Xiao Qiu and I continue to stay here, it has no effect. Instead, we will waste your police power to take care of us.

Even if we want to cooperate with the investigation, let us change to a looser set of clothes first? "

Keiko Kashiro said sincerely.

"Wait a minute, I will discuss with my colleagues..."

After hearing Keiko Kamishiro's request, the old policeman waved his hand a little hesitantly, and then called the other policemen over to discuss a few words.

I don’t know if it’s because I was persuaded by Keiko Kandaro’s words; or because the identity of the Kamidai family’s consortium played a role and caused the police to worry; or it was simply because the two men’s clothes are inconvenient to move around. The police decided to let them go first:

"You can leave here first."

"But remember two points. First, after leaving, please be sure to keep the phone open. If there is any need to cooperate with the investigation in the follow-up, we will contact you by phone at any time.

Second, before the exact investigation results come out, it is recommended that you do not leave Kyoto, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble-if we find any key clues or intelligence later, it may be possible to retrieve you from other cities. When you come, it will not only be related to the police station here in Kyoto, it may even affect your life in your hometown..."

"...Okay, I took it all down."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded and agreed.

These remarks are actually clichés, for her, just listen to them.

As a result, what Bai Shuiqiu did was not out of line. Even if Shiya Asano bit her out after arriving at the police station, it was not a felony, and at most it was paying some medical expenses.

Secondly, she did not intend to wait until the police closed the case quietly and leave Kyoto in a desperate manner. Instead, she was ready to take the initiative to respond to the challenges of the Hojo family. As long as the problem is solved from the root cause, the case of Asano Shiya will naturally be over.

Just when Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaji turned around to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"Please wait, two people..."

"Ok?"

Bai Shuiqiu stopped when he heard the sound, and looked back, and saw the young police officer called Murakami running over, and said somewhat sly: "Student Bai Shui, can you help me sign a name? Just sign here? "

With that, Murakami took out a smaller notepad from his pocket, turned to the last page, and held it in both hands and handed it over.

"what do you mean……"

Bai Shuiqiu was a little uncertain of this guy's true intentions.

"Don’t get me wrong, this notebook is for my personal use, and has nothing to do with official affairs. I just appreciate your performance in the archery competition, Bai Shui. I would like an autograph to keep as a souvenir. If it’s not convenient for you this time If you have a chance to meet next time, you can sign again..."

Are you a fan of star chasers?

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth in surprise, a little funny.

In a sense, although Bai Shuiqiu does not have this self-consciousness, she can indeed be equated with sports stars.

The IH competition itself is a grand event that universities across the country participate in. Although the archery competition is a niche, the national championship also has a full gold content, which is equivalent to the highly anticipated campus star.

Not to mention that the group of reporters also arranged interviews with her through the school’s director Aoyama...

Since the other party is so sincere and sincere, and at the same time the policeman in charge of handling her case, even if it is to gain some impression, she would not openly refute the other party's face. So he simply took the notepad and signed his name on the blank page.

The graceful handwriting fell on the white paper.

When the three words "Bai Shui Qiu" were finished, Murakami put the notebook close to his body with a look of joy, and then excitedly made an inviting gesture: "Please here."

There is nothing to say on the way back to the hotel.

Apart from Ryoko and others staying to cooperate with the police, the group of bodyguards at the Jindai family separated two people and drove Shiraito and Keiko Jindai back.

While still in the car, Bai Shuiqiu hesitated again and again, and finally decided to send an email to Asakura Fumtai about what happened today.

Hojo's temptation will certainly not be stopped because of this failure.

Even after Shiya Asano was arrested, Goro Hojo and his entourage may take more drastic measures to force the old monsters to appear and hunt them.

In order to prevent these guys from getting worse and causing more trouble to themselves, the Asakura family's strength still has to be used as much as possible. Even if the plan of the Hojo clan cannot be cancelled directly, it can still curb the arrogance of Hojo Goro and others to a certain extent.

As for the favors owed because of this, it will be restored gradually in the future.

With this thought in mind, Bai Shuiqiu turned on the function of sending emails, and while pondering the words and sentences, he slowly tapped the words.

During this process, Keiko Kamidai looked at Bai Shuiqiu, and seemed to hesitate a few times, but finally couldn’t help but said, “Qiujiang, the Qingluhuo mentioned by the few people just now... is your Kyudo Club. Is that consultant from Mr. Jiufeng Shion?"

"?!"

Suddenly hearing such a question, Bai Shuiqiu was startled. The hands holding the phone trembled involuntarily, and he hurriedly got his legs together to avoid the tragedy of the phone falling to the ground, and then turned his head pretendingly. go with:

"Why do you suddenly ask?"

"Listen to them, Qingluhuo is your'Shijin', right?"

Keiko Kashiro smiled, and explained softly: "Since it is a shikigami, the place where Qingluhuo is located must not be too far away from you, otherwise the Hojo family will not use the method of detaining you. Come to force Qingluhuo to show up."

"On this basis, you can't say that Teacher Shiyuan is Qingluhuo, right?"

Bai Shuiqiu frowned slightly.
