Osaka, somewhere

Atachi and Atzuki carried their luggage and followed closely behind Genichi and others.

Genichi, who was running at the front, led everyone through the streets and alleys of Osaka, finally stopping in front of the gate of a small Buddhist temple, and then rushed into the temple without any hesitation.

After rushing into the temple, Amachi saw two familiar faces, Asai and Shimada.

Asai and Shimada carried their respective swords, walked out of the Buddhist hall in the temple, and greeted Yuan and others.

Asai: "Genichi-san, you are finally back. Hmm? Atachi-san, why are you looking like this? Were you also attacked?"

Shimada: "Ah! Where is Mr. Ogata? Why don't you see Mr. Ogata?"

"I will explain it to you slowly later." Genichi interrupted Asai and Shimada, "You two will help move the man and woman on Mamiya and Makimura's backs into the inner room of the temple.

, and then get some water to wake them up."

Mamiya and Makimura were each carrying a woman and a man on their backs.

This woman and man are none other than the commander Jie Zheng and Iga kunoichi A Qing they captured just now.

Asai and Shimada didn't know where Genichi and his friends got Jiezheng and Aqing from, but they didn't ask any questions and obediently followed Genichi's instructions and worked together with Mamiya and Makimura to carry them into the inner room of the temple.

.

"Mr. Genichi." Azhu looked around with a blank expression, "Is this the temple of an acquaintance of yours?"

"No." Yuan Yi said, "We don't know anyone from this temple at all."

"We just saw that the location of this temple is good, and the people in the temple happened to be frightened by the fire in Osaka and fled, so we just borrowed it temporarily."

A-Machi and A-Zhu both looked at Genichi who made such violent remarks with stunned eyes.

"Gen, Mr. Genichi." Azuki shrank his neck, "We broke into the Buddhist temple without permission, and also forcibly expropriated other people's Buddhist temples... Isn't this not good?"

"Forcibly requisitioned or something, it's too ugly." Yuan Yi smiled and shrugged at Azhu, "We are not evil ghosts. Don't worry, we will not treat the people of this Buddhist temple badly."

After saying that, Yuan Yi turned his head and looked at the merit box placed not far away.

"This money will be regarded as the rental fee for this Buddhist temple."

As Yuan Yi spoke, he walked slowly towards the merit box, and then took out a large handful of gold medals from his arms.

Looking at the big gold medal in Yuan Yi's hand, Azhu's eyes widened.

According to her visual inspection, the amount of money in Yuan Yi's hand was at least twenty taels.

More than twenty taels... not to mention renting the temple, it is more than enough to renovate the entire temple.

Yuan Yi threw such a huge sum of money directly into the merit box without even looking at it...

"Ah-Machi." After stuffing this huge amount of money into the merit box, Genichi turned his attention to Ah-Machi, "Would you like to take a rest now? I see that you have experienced a lot tonight.

…”

After finishing speaking, Genichi glanced at the patches of blood and mud on Omachi's kimono.

"Ha, there's no need to rest. Don't look at me like this. I have very good physical strength and I'm not too tired." A-Machi lowered his head and looked at the stains on his clothes and because he was always barefoot.

As for the dirty feet, "I just need to change my clothes."

Having said this, Amachi changed into a serious tone.

"Mr. Genichi."

"Before that, can you tell me what happened to you tonight? What does Mamiya mean by the words 'Did something happen to you too'?"

"Ha..." Yuan Yi smiled with a touch of bitterness and annoyance, "Not only are you being attacked tonight, we are also being attacked..."

…

…

Amachi is currently standing in a side room of the Buddhist temple.

She grabbed the two lapels of the kimono that had been unbelted, pulled hard to the left and right, and then pulled it down. The thin kimono fell off from her smooth skin, revealing a body that countless men would be willing to indulge in.

.

Outside the closed door of the side room, three people, Yuan Yi, Feng Mo and Azhu, were sitting.

A-Machi just changed his clothes while listening to Genichi's story about what happened to them tonight with Fuuma and A-Zhu outside the door.

"Atachi, do you remember that Yukimura?"

"Of course I remember." Amachi said immediately, "It's the person I just met again during the day today."

Yukimura is a wealthy Osaka businessman who has received many favors from Calabash House.

Previously, Ogata and Omachi met Yukimura for the first time in Shinmachi when they were pretending to be the escort of Hatsuko, the "best artist in Osaka". Their meeting with Yukimura also indirectly helped Ogata, Makimura and Mamiya reunite.

Lin entrusted him to help investigate the "Kansai Disappearance Incident". During the day today, he rushed to the residence of Lin and others and sent "'Kansai Disappearance Incident" to the Calabash House group and Ogata and Amachi who happened to be present at the time.

'Important information that may be related to Saint Takano who is responsible for preaching everywhere.

It was this information that made Lin and Ogata decide to set off to Mount Koya to investigate tomorrow.

However, tomorrow has not yet come, and one incident after another occurred tonight, which can basically declare the plan of "leaving for Mount Koya tomorrow" to be bankrupt.

"This afternoon, that Yukimura invited Xiao Lin to his home for dinner."

"Yukimura is not only an old acquaintance of Rin, but also half of Rin's subordinates. Without Rin's support and help, Yukimura would not have been able to build such a large family business in Osaka in such a short period of time."

"My acquaintance and half of his subordinates invited me to have dinner, and I don't have anything important to do tonight, so Xiaolin, who had no reason to refuse, naturally agreed happily."

"Xiaolin will go to Yukimura's residence alone tonight for a banquet."

"As a result, Xiaolin... something happened."

"Not long after Lin went to the banquet, I, Mamiya, Makimura, Asai, and Shimada who were staying at the hotel heard the sound of gunfire coming from all over Osaka."

"The sound of gunfire and gunfire in Osaka City is not normal no matter how you think about it."

"We were worried about Xiao Lin who was alone outside now, so we rushed to Yukimura's mansion immediately."

"As a result, when we arrived at Yukimura's mansion, we only saw a mess."

"Only the servants of the Yukimura family were seen making a mess, but Xiaolin and Yukimura were not seen."

"After we questioned the Yukimura family's servants in detail, we found out what happened."

"Not long after Xiaolin arrived at Yukimura's mansion, dozens of gunmen with flintlock rifles suddenly appeared. They rushed into Yukimura's mansion and rushed towards Xiaolin."

"The frightened servants fled and hid everywhere. Only 2 or 3 people saw the whole battle between Xiaolin and the gunmen."

"Xiao Lin fought bravely against these enemies and killed 8 of them in one go. However, she was eventually subdued because she was outnumbered and unable to fight with muskets."

"The one who was subdued was Yukimura."

"Xiaolin and Yukimura who were knocked unconscious were taken away by the gunmen. As for where they were taken, the servants didn't know."

"Miss Lin...were taken away by those people?" Amachi, who had just finished changing his clothes, stopped changing his clothes out of shock.

"Well..." Genichi nodded lightly, "The enemy knew that Xiaolin would go to Yukimura's home for a banquet tonight, so it was obvious that this was a premeditated attack, and the robbers knew all about Xiaolin's movements.

"

"Xiao Lin was kidnapped by unknown persons. Naturally, we cannot take this kind of thing lightly."

"The hotel we originally stayed in was too small, and it was inconvenient to do anything. So we borrowed this temple and asked Asai and Shimada to stay at the temple, while I, Mamiya, and Makimura, the three of us, come to you

.”

"If we want to find Xiaolin back, the more helpers the better, so the original intention of us coming to you is just to ask for help and ask you to help us find Xiaolin."

"And when we were rushing to your hotel, we bumped into Gan Shi on the way."

"I was having dinner at my old subordinate's house when I suddenly heard the sound of gunfire." Feng Mo took over the conversation at this time, "There are so many gunshots in Osaka City. It is unusual no matter how you think about it."

"So I asked my old subordinate to take his family to the outskirts of Osaka to take refuge, while I came to see how you are doing, Komachi, and see if you have also taken refuge in the outskirts of Osaka."

"When I was rushing to the hotel where you were staying, I met Yuan Yi on the way who was also going to find you, so I took action with them."

After Feng Mo finished speaking, Yuan Yi once again took the lead:

"I don't need to go into details about what happened after that."

"When I arrived at the hotel where you were staying, I found that your hotel was surrounded by a group of shooters with flintlock guns."

"...So that's what it is..." Ating murmured, "Not only did Ayi have an accident, but did Miss Lin also have an accident?"

"Who are these people with muskets?" Ashuku blinked and interjected, "Why are you targeting both Lord Ittosai and Miss Kinoshita? Do the two of them have any common enemies?

"

Ogata and Rin's common enemy, Omachi, only thinks of her former boss: Shiranui Sato.

But as far as Amachi knows, even Shiranui in its heyday did not have the ability to equip flintlock guns on a large scale...

"I don't know who is the mastermind behind those musketeers." Yuan Yi said slowly, "But if we are lucky enough, we will soon be able to understand the answers to these questions."

"Are you going to torture the man and woman we captured?" A-Machi immediately understood the implication of what Genichi just said.

"We originally planned to try to capture a few high-ranking people from the enemy to gather information after reuniting with you." Yuan Yi smiled, "Unexpectedly, we were very lucky to get the information."
