…
The Japanese Ronin was also a martial artist. The weapon they used was still a Japanese katana, and it was the most traditional dual sword style. There was a clear difference between them and the native ninjas and swordsmen.
Although ninjas also used dual swords, most of the ninjas' swords were relatively short because of ninjutsu. It was also called a sleeve sword, which meant that it was hidden directly in the sleeve.
This kind of sleeve sword was even smaller than the Japanese katana. It was easy to carry and use for sneak attacks. It was easy to distinguish.
Not to mention the Japanese swordsmanship school. This was very similar to the Long Province. They both used one sword, which was the longest one.
The Japanese Ronin happened to be a combination of these two schools. They used dual swords, one long and one short. The long sword was used for head-on combat, and the short sword was used for sneak attacks and last hits.
Most of the fishermen who were killed had two types of knife wounds, one long and the other short. It was obvious that they were killed by two types of sharp blades. In addition, the place of death was so close to the Okinawa archipelago. Qin Fang was basically sure that this matter had something to do with the Japanese Ronin.
"Young Master Qin, what do you think about this …"
When it was confirmed that these fishermen were killed by the Japanese Ronin, Shen Liang's face also became a little ugly. After all, these people were their compatriots.
If it was a few decades ago, when the Japanese invaded Long Province at that time, their compatriots were killed out of helplessness. After all, at that time, human lives were really worthless!
But now it was a peaceful era, and such a serious incident had happened. As a veteran, the nameless fire in Shen Liang's heart was instantly ignited.
"Let's go back first …"
Qin Fang waved his hand, stopping Shen Liang's desire to continue speaking. Instead, he led them back to the cabin first.
"Young Master Qin, why don't I go to Okinawa and investigate this matter …"
Back in the room, Shen Liang couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and immediately took the initiative to ask.
Before seeing the corpses, Shen Liang was only a little angry. However, after seeing the corpses that had obviously been tortured, he couldn't help but want to explode.
Almost every fisherman had been tortured before they died, which could be judged from their physical condition. After they died, their bodies were directly thrown into the sea. If it wasn't for the fact that they happened to come across their boat, they would have ended up in the fish's stomach.
"You don't have to worry about this. I have my own plans …"
However, Qin Fang thought about it and waved his hand, rejecting Shen Liang's request. "Continue to investigate Xu Ling, the more detailed the better …"
It wasn't normal for Xu Ling to suddenly appear on this ship. Qin Fang also arranged for Shen Liang to investigate some inside information. Qin Fang didn't want Shen Liang to be distracted by other things.
Xu Ling was an outstanding child of the third generation of the Xu family. He was slightly older than Qin Fang. Unlike Qin Fang, who had nothing to do, Young Master Xu had already entered the system. If it wasn't for something important, he wouldn't appear on this ship …
Qin Fang almost killed all the people around Xu Ling that could be used. At most, there were only one or two fish left. It wouldn't be so easy for Xu Ling to do things.
Without so many people on guard, it would be easier for Shen Liang to investigate this matter, especially during this period when Qin Fang was no longer suitable to appear in front of Xu Ling.
"But …"
Shen Liang seemed to want to fight for it.
"Don't say anymore. I will deal with this matter personally!"
However, Qin Fang directly made him speechless with just one sentence.
Shen Liang went out to do things. He went to investigate Xu Ling's purpose, and Qin Fang sat down to think about what the Japanese Ronin did this time.
The Japanese Ronin originally didn't represent anything. At most, there were some more radical ethnic elements among them. Some people had always been eyeing the big Western countries covetously. Even after many years of defeat, they had never forgotten …
But peace was the main theme. Basically, small conflicts were constant, but big conflicts didn't exist.
Perhaps it was because of this that some people kept causing small conflicts. For example, the fishermen's corpses this time were included in this category.
It was just a small conflict. At most, there would be a small collision between ships. It was very rare to see civilians being killed like this.
But not only did such a thing happen, but the other party also seemed to be fearless. They didn't even bother to deal with the corpses properly and just threw them into the sea.
"Could it be that these fishermen discovered something, so they were killed to silence them?"
All kinds of possibilities emerged in Qin Fang's mind. This whole thing was quite strange. It was a bit strange and unpredictable.
This was not impossible. The Okinawa archipelago was located at the southernmost tip of Japan, and it was also the closest location to Long Province. It was not only an excellent tourist destination, but it was also a place with the most restricted areas.
Most of these restricted areas were US military bases. It was difficult for ordinary people to get close to them. After all, the US had always kept their secrets strictly. Otherwise, there would not be restrictions on the export of some advanced technology in Long Province.
Perhaps it was because there were too many restricted areas that the US might not know which belonged to them and which belonged to the Japanese …
There were rumors that the Japanese had set up some secret bases in the Okinawa area to engage in some secret military and biochemical research …
The Fukushima nuclear accident was caused by an accident in similar research.
Because of the defeat in World War II, the Japanese military power was deprived, and the US military occupied the Japanese territory for decades.
But with the gradual contraction of the US military, the Japanese military power was getting stronger year by year. Although it was far from the level of World War II, the Japanese's economic strength was still getting stronger and stronger.
However, this was obviously far from what the Japanese had expected. This black-hearted country had never given up on their previous plan and had been secretly accumulating strength.
For their old neighbor in Long Province, the Japanese had never given up their evil intentions …
Qin Fang didn't care about these political things. He was not at that level yet, but this time, the innocent fishermen were killed. He was also quite touched.
"Forget it. When this battle is over, I will go there …"
It was just that he didn't have much time now because he still had to deal with the next crucial battle.
At this moment, their ship was actually very close to the Okinawa archipelago, but it was really a bit of a waste of time for him to make a special trip.
Although he could use Little Dragon to make a quick trip, it was definitely not something that could be done in a short time if he wanted to investigate the murder of these fishermen.
Instead, it was better to wait until this battle was over. He would have a lot of time to investigate this matter. It was even possible to find out the murderers.
This matter was put aside for the time being. The bodies of the fishermen had been properly disposed of. He planned to bring them back to Long Province and let the relatives of these fishermen claim the bodies.
This was the opinion given by Qin Fang. The captain didn't dare to disobey, so this matter was settled.
Shen Liang was still busy investigating the purpose of Xu Ling's trip, but this matter could only be carried out secretly. He didn't want to alert the enemy. In addition, Xu Ling's trip was very secret. The difficulty of the investigation was also quite high, so there was no clue for the time being.
It was also not suitable for Qin Fang to always appear in front of Xu Ling. Since the last time the two met, they had tacitly kept a distance.
It was also precisely because of this that it was difficult for Qin Fang to use Mind Reading to find out Xu Ling's secret …
Not to mention that Xu Ling was an extremely vigilant person. Even when Qin Fang killed so many of his people, he didn't have much of a reaction. If Qin Fang's Mind Reading didn't work, it was basically impossible for him to succeed.
If it wasn't for this, Qin Fang wouldn't have specially arranged for Shen Liang to secretly investigate.
Since there was nothing to do for the time being, Qin Fang was also happy to rest at ease. He adjusted his state and prepared for the upcoming battle with Blood Hand Devilman Tu San.
Tu San's side was similar. He had been adjusting himself. He didn't relax at all just because he was much stronger than Qin Fang.
Occasionally, the two of them would bump into each other. However, most of the time, they would just nod and greet each other before going their separate ways.
Those who knew might think that the two of them only knew each other. Those who didn't know wouldn't notice this. After all, the two of them didn't have much interaction.
Tu San didn't come looking for him, and Xu Ling didn't come looking for him either. However, someone came looking for him, which surprised Qin Fang slightly.
"Young … Young Master Qin …"
When Qin Fang opened the door, the person who appeared outside his door was a little pale and greeted him cautiously.
"What are you doing here?"
Originally, Qin Fang was also curious about who would come looking for him at this time. However, after seeing clearly who it was, Qin Fang's expression was quite strange, and his tone was a little unfriendly as he asked.
"I … I'm here … to apologize to Young Master Qin!"
The person was choked by Qin Fang's words until his face turned green. After a long while, he replied cautiously.
"Forget it, I've already forgotten about that matter. You can leave now …"
However, Qin Fang didn't seem to appreciate the person's kindness. His tone was also neither warm nor cold. He didn't even have the intention to let the person in and was about to chase him away.
"Wait … Wait!"
However, the person didn't seem to want to give up. He immediately used his slightly fat body to block the gap in the door and put on an extremely heroic posture.
"Young Master Qin … I came here this time not only to apologize, but also to inform you of another matter!
It's about Young Master Xu Ling … "
Not only did the person block the gap in the door, but he also said something that stunned Qin Fang.
