…
This luxury cruise ship was mainly for traveling. The speed would not be particularly fast, and it would not travel too far in one night …
Last night, Qin Fang killed five people around Xu Ling. The bodies of these people naturally needed to be disposed of. The most convenient and fastest way was to throw the bodies directly into the sea.
But the speed of the ship was a bit slow. These bodies might catch up with the current, and it would evolve into the current scene.
If this was the case, it was no wonder that Qin Fang would complain like this in his heart. He would probably directly scold Xu Ling for being a big idiot!
"It is said that the fishermen near the coast … seem to have encountered pirates!"
However, before Qin Fang had time to complain, Shen Liang said that he got the news, which also made Qin Fang slightly stunned.
The victims were fishermen from the nearby coastal area. Naturally, it was impossible for them to be Xu Ling's men who were killed by Qin Fang. It was just that the timing of the appearance of these corpses was too coincidental, so it was misunderstood.
"Pirates?
How can there be pirates here? "
Qin Fang was not very sure whether these floating bodies were fishermen nearby, but the reason for being killed made Qin Fang feel a little headache.
"Actually, they are all little Japanese …"
But Shen Liang shook his head gently and said.
"Little Japanese?"
Qin Fang was slightly stunned. He looked at Shen Liang with some surprise, apparently waiting for him to say a reason.
"Although our current location is still in the sea area of Long Province, it is actually relatively close to several small islands at the southern tip of Japan."
Shen Liang had obviously come prepared. He had even brought along a map of the sea and marked their current location.
Qin Fang took this nautical chart. Although he didn't understand it very well, at least the positions marked on it were relatively clear, especially the closest land to them. It was not inland in Long Province, but closer to Okinawa at the southern tip of Japan …
"Okinawa …"
Seeing this location, Qin Fang's face became dignified. He knew that the Japanese that Shen Liang was talking about were the Japanese here.
A few hundred years ago, Okinawa was a vassal state of Long Province. It was also the most crucial region that connected the interior of Long Province with the main island of Japan.
But later, Japan annexed Okinawa, and it became Japan's territory.
However, during World War II, this was the only Japanese territory that was occupied. The US military had built a large military fortress here. Even after the control was returned to Japan, the military base remained. Just like the Guam base in the Pacific Ocean, it was an important military fortress that controlled the military territory of Long Province!
Moreover, in the territorial war between Long Province and Japan, the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands was also related to Okinawa. The Japanese had always claimed that the Diaoyu Islands belonged to the Okinawa archipelago …
Of course, these were not things that Qin Fang really cared about. It had nothing to do with him. He was just an ordinary person. Although he had some small skills, he did not expect himself to be involved in international disputes.
The reason why he was so surprised by Okinawa was that in addition to the geographical area, there was another more important reason, and that was … Fusang Ronin!
Fusang Ronin, this term had existed hundreds of years ago. The reason why the Japanese could develop was basically to take advantage of Long Province, and these Fusang Ronins played a vital role in it!
The Fusang Ronin was originally a group of Wokou pirates. This was a loose organization formed by a group of martial artists who were in dire straits.
Generally speaking, these people were temporarily organized, and then they elected a leader to lead this group of Ronin to sea. This was the early pirates.
In the beginning, these Fusang Ronins burned, killed, and looted along the coast of Long Province. They almost did all kinds of bad things, but because they were very mobile, they immediately retreated after each success. In addition, they were mainly martial artists, and their combat power was much stronger than ordinary soldiers. This was why they could cause trouble along the coast for hundreds of years.
But in modern times, the development of firearms forced many martial artists to withdraw from the stage of history. They could only become shadows behind. These Fusang Ronins also gradually disappeared.
In fact, they did not disappear. It could only be said that they became low-key. After all, although they were stronger than ordinary people, they still could not resist guns and cannons. It was impossible not to be low-key.
But these Fusang Ronins had always existed. They even formed a relatively good scale in the Okinawa archipelago.
This was not a secret in the underground world. Basically, one would know this kind of worthless information after spending some time in the underground world.
Although this was an open secret, many people looked down on these Fusang Ronins. At least hundreds of years ago, they dared to go to the coast of Long Province to loot. But now, they could only collect protection fees in the Okinawa archipelago or blackmail passing tourists like some small gangsters …
Originally, Qin Fang did not think much of these Fusang Ronins. It was just that it had nothing to do with him. He did not go to the Okinawa archipelago, so naturally, he could not come into contact with them.
But the corpses of these fishermen in front of him … It made Qin Fang almost immediately think of these Fusang Ronins.
Fusang Ronins were actually Japanese martial artists. Some were ninjas, some were swordsmen, and other martial artists were mixed together. They were collectively known as Fusang Ronins.
Most of these Fusang Ronins were not very good. They probably just started practicing martial arts, but they did not have much talent. They dared to come out after learning martial arts for a few days …
Only a very small number of Fusang Ronin were relatively powerful masters, and there were even masters among them … Maybe there were even stronger masters among them.
These had little to do with Qin Fang. But from the news that Shen Liang got back, it seemed that these fishermen died in the hands of these Fusang Ronins. This made Qin Fang a little uncomfortable.
These fishermen were of course fishermen from Long Province. They were definitely not from Japan. But these fishermen had already worked hard at sea to fish. It was really a pity that they lost their lives like this.
"Let's go down and take a look …"
These news were all inquired. Only God knew whether it was reliable or not. Maybe this was all a rumor. It was completely different from the truth.
Especially the wounds of these fishermen. If Qin Fang could not check them personally, he could not be sure that these injuries were caused by the Fusang Ronins.
Although the Fusang Ronins belonged to the Japanese martial arts world, they were an outlier in the Japanese martial arts world … This was not what they wanted, but they were rejected by the mainstream.
This was also why most of the masters in the Japanese martial arts world were concentrated in the direction of the main island, but these Fusang Ronins could only live on small islands like the Okinawa archipelago.
They were not accepted by the mainstream of the Japanese martial arts world. They became abandoned children that were not loved by their parents. It was no wonder that these Fusang Ronins would give up on themselves.
Therefore, they were not only very repulsive to the Long Province martial arts world, but also very repulsive to the Japanese martial arts world. They had become a special existence that did not care about anything.
It was also because of the uniqueness of the Fusang Ronins that it was also the easiest for them to give up on themselves. This made it easy for some irrational things to happen.
For example, the situation of these floating corpses on the sea today. Not only did Shen Liang feel that there was a shadow of the Japanese in it, but Qin Fang also felt that it was really possible that these Fusang Ronins did it!
If Xu Ling's identity was unattainable, and he was extremely scrupulous and fearful, then Qin Fang's identity looked much simpler. It seemed that he was much worse than many of the playboys on the ship.
But when Qin Fang stood up and spoke, no one dared to say that they did not give him face.
News of what had happened last night had spread throughout the ship. Zhang Wei, Zhang Xu, and the others had all lost face because they had been beaten up by a mere bodyguard. They had all been beaten up to look like pigs.
If the ship was sailing deep in the sea and could not reach the shore in time, they would have escaped long ago.
However, it was precisely because of such a farce that Qin Fang had established a strong image that he could not be trifled with. Ordinary people did not dare to express anything to him. Even the captain was polite to Qin Fang when he picked him up, not daring to slight him.
Of course, if they knew that Qin Fang had broken into Xu Ling's room at night and killed five of his men in an instant in front of Xu Ling, those outsiders would probably be scared out of their wits.
Although the captain knew that several of Xu Ling's men were killed last night, Xu Ling did not have the slightest intention of revenge. This also made the captain worried.
The more it was so, the more cautious the captain was. So when Qin Fang came to find him, he agreed to Qin Fang's conditions without hesitation. He did not dare to disobey at all!
However, if he knew that the person who killed Xu Ling's men was Qin Fang, this guy probably would be glad that he did a good job or lament that he did not know how to flatter more!
Qin Fang's condition was naturally very simple. He just wanted to see these corpses …
The corpses were not immediately destroyed. Firstly, there was no such condition. Secondly, they had to be handed over to the relevant departments to deal with …
Under the leadership of the captain, Qin Fang came to the cabin where these corpses were stored. Qin Fang immediately went to check the wounds of these corpses.
"It's really the Japanese Ronin …"
Seeing those wounds, Qin Fang couldn't help but frown. He muttered in a low voice. It was too similar to the Japanese Ronin's practice.
Almost everyone died from a very sharp blade. The Japanese katana was originally known for its sharpness, and the speed of the attack was very fast. Almost all of them were killed with one strike. It was too similar to the Japanese Ronin's technique …
