23 The collision Investigation

In the following days, the abandoned factory incident seemed to have disappeared into oblivion. Neither the newspapers nor the TV news reported the incident in any way, as if the deaths that night were not dozens of people but dozens of ants insted.

The whole city of Rinyou was no different from the usual, people were still getting up early and going home late, fighting for their own survival, leading a busy but stable life.

The only difference was that there seem to be fewer gangsters hanging around in the streets and alleys, many stores in the bar street were closed, there will be occasional reports about fighting and shouting on the street, late at night.

Hayashi Rikawa guessed that the Forgotten River Gang was starting to take over the Black Spider Gang.

Through this incident, he was once again convinced of his own guess.

The world was only peaceful on the surface, but in the dark was a fierce wave, ordinary people without power could not control their own destiny. Maybe one day they will be involved in the wave and die silently.

With this in mind, the idea of improving his strength became more and more firm in his heart. 

As usual, after a full day of classes, when the school bell rang, Hayashi Rikawa packed his bag and quickly left the classroom, ready to go to the municipal library.

In order to find out what the fruit was, he went to the library the past few days.

The other reason he did this was because he had no choice. Too bad there was no internet in this world, so you can't gain a large amount of information with ease, other than investigating, or asking some professionals, you can only rely on reading books.

Hayashi Rikawa can't help but regret it. If he would ask Kou Shiryuu and the others on the spot that night. Maybe they happened to know the information about vermillion fruit, so I wouldn't have to make so many trips to the library.

What if he covered up his appearance again, and asked Kou Shiryuu or Kou Hansei?

Hayashi Rikawa has no such intention of doing it at all, his disguise ability belongs to the amateur level, the more times he uses it, the higher the probability of exposing his identity, he try not to contact Kou Shiryuu for his safe strategy, there was no need to risk for a fruit whose use was unknown, and it's not a kind of super fruit that you can get strong superpowers if you eat it.

On the other hand, after Hayashi Rikawa left, Kou Hansei also hurriedly packed her bag, ready to leave, but just walked out of the corridor was stopped by the class teacher Mr. Shagenkan.

"Kou Hansei, you're not in the right state lately, you're always staring blankly in class." Shagenkan slightly frowned, his shiny bald head in the sunlight reflecting a blinding light, it was difficult for people to look at it for a long time.

With this move, Shagenkan has been able to train his students in an unfavorable way. 

Even though Kou Hansei was as a Budokai, was defeated in the face of this ability that was not a true power, she bowed her head obediently.

Recently, she has been thinking about the mysterious man, causing her to be distracted in class, but there was no way to talk to the class teacher about this, so she made up an excuse that she was in a trance because of the pressure of studying, and promised to listen to the class properly in the future.

It was only after a lot of persuasion that Shagenkan finally let her go.

Looking at the back of Kou Hansei hurriedly leaving, Shagenkan picked up the thermos cup and sipped the wolfberry water, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, the youngster nowadays."

At the school gate, Kou Hansei directly took a taxi and hurried home.

These days she had been investigating the mysterious man, and had made some progress.

The reason for this was that her 'tracksuit' was the same with the mysterious man that night.

Although Kou Hansei came from a wealthy family, she never liked to spend a lot of money, and did not go for expensive designer labels, as long as they were suitable, so she would often go to public shopping centers or pedestrian malls to buy clothes and accessories, and the black tracksuit she wore on that night happened to be the one that was purchased at the pedestrian mall.

It's just that Kou Hansei has always liked simple clothes, so she didn't care. She bought them directly when she saw and liked them. As a result, they didn't expect these clothes to have a male model as well. And by coincidence, She would wear the same model with a mysterious person

But this was a good thing for her.

The next day, Kou Hansei used the power of the Forgotten River Gang to investigate the stores in the city that sold the sportswear, and checked the customers who bought the sportswear one by one.

Although the sales volume of this type of clothing was very low, but also sold hundreds of pieces, the investigation was not easy, it took a few days, It took a few days before the Forgotten River Gang finally got an eyebrow.

Getting out of the car at the entrance of the district, Kou Hansei went straight to the manor, in the bodyguards and servants of the respectful greetings straight into the villa, to the second floor study.

Kou Keiki was looking at his desk and frowning in deep thought. When he heard the commotion, he looked up and saw Kou Hansei, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face and said, "Little Han, you came just at the right time, I was planning to call you."

"Brother, is there any progress in the investigation?" Kou Hansei asked while walking towards the desk, and when she got closer, she realized that there were more than ten photos scattered on the desktop, on which was a different person, frontal face, side face, all kinds of angles, and it looked like they were taken secretly.

"Well, this is a little bit."

Kou Keiki nodded, pointing to the photos on the desk, "I mobilized a lot of manpower and connections to investigate all the people who had purchased that sportswear, and then compared them one by one with the height and body type of that mysterious person, and excluded the ones that didn't match, and in the end, there were only these four people left."

"At the same time, I also investigated these people's biographies, but no matter how I look at them, they don't seem to be extraordinary people who have practiced Budokai."

Kou Keiki couldn't help but show a confused look in his eyes as he spoke.

If the mysterious person was just as simple as an ability user, that's all. After the awakening ability, as long as the ability user does not often reveal the ability and the activity remains the same as usual, it was difficult for outsiders to detect that he was an ability user.

But Budokai were different you always have to practice it, and must be persistent long-time practice, so in daily life it was absolutely impossible not to show half a trace.

Especially that mysterious person was especially good at both boxing and swordsmanship. He must have been training Budokai since he was a child. Only after years can he achieve such achievements.

If he was really among these four people, there was no way that the Forgotten River Gang would not be able to find them out.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Kou Keiki sighed lightly, "Maybe we missed some people, after all, there are many people who bought the clothes, and it's too difficult to find them all without missing a single one, I will have people continue to investigate, but there is not much hope for success, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to get any more, it's a pity that it's hard to get any clues."

Kou Keiki was talking to himself, while Kou Hansei was frozen in place, staring at a photo on the desk, a pair of bright eyes gradually widened.

The person in the photo was Hayashi Rikawa.
