Chapter 128: The Phantom Thieves Targeted
[I... committed a crime that a painter must not commit.
What the world says... 'plagiarism' and 'suppression of the younger generation'...
I have done this to young people in our art circles...
In order to win "Little Sayuri", I watched my disciple die of illness and not call an ambulance... Recently, another disciple of mine jumped off the building and committed suicide... Woo!
...I, don't know... how to apologize to everyone... wu... is it! Ah, wuwu...!]
"It is indeed a sincere repentance without any moisture, but it is not worthy of sympathy at all, because the 'real Matsu Yiluzhai' will not say such words." Leeds, who happened to see the live broadcast of the emergency apology meeting held by Matsu Yiluzhai on the big screen on the street, gave his own evaluation and eliminated the sympathy that the artificial maids who dragged themselves to hang out with them should not have.
There is no way, the elderly are crying and screaming, which can easily bring about unreasonable compassion.
"I had always been looking forward to human beings before meeting the young master. Now I think about it..." 21o took back his eyes from the big screen and regretted it! The sight of passers-by also made her unable to be happy. A group of model-level beauties stood together, unless they were the male protagonists of the pretentious article, who could be the 'pure appreciation'?
"There is no need to continue to look forward to it, but there is no need to regret the past self," Leeds smiled and hugged 21o, "Think about Joseph, just Jotaro and Arimiya Ren, that's also human."
"…Hmm." 21o nodded shyly.
"However, it's been two consecutive times... Young Master, there should be a reaction in society." a2 reminded.
"Ah~ Now we are good people in the eyes of fence-headed people for the time being, but super evil people in the eyes of those in power~" Leeds said heartlessly.
A few days later—
[Yusuke Kitamura:...Is the person being replaced again? Who is it after the police and the teenage detective?
Sae Shinjima: I am an agent of the Special Search Department of the Procuratorate, Sae Shinjima, who is specialized in investigating the derelict incident and the Yellow Turban Thieves and the thief group.
Yusuke Kitamura: I don’t think the blame thieves will be related to the derelict incident, according to the general public.
Sae Shinjima: Is it related? Then you have to find out the truth based on my investigation... Save some time and get to the point directly. What happened at that time?
Yusuke Kitamura: After the exhibition that day, Mamao Yiliuzhai and I both returned to the house to rest. At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, someone suddenly knocked on the door. I went to open the door, and then I didn't know anything.
Sae Nishima: I don’t know anything?
Yusuke Kitamura: Ah... because I lost consciousness.
Sae Nishima: In other words, you were attacked by the Yellow Turban Thieves?
Yusuke Kitamura: I have never said that, maybe the person who attacked me was Madaro Yilusai.
Sae Nishima:...Is it really 'can't remember anything'?
Yusuke Kitamura: Oh, that's it.
Sae Shinjima: What a joke! Isn’t it just you called the police at the scene?!
Yusuke Kitamura: Is this happening? No... I have no impression at all... Maybe it was something I did when I was unconscious?
Sae Nishima: You saw the looks of members of the Yellow Turban Thieves Group, right?
Yusuke Kitamura: No matter how many times you ask, you don’t know, just don’t know.]
》
Madame Yiliuzai self-destructed her crime on the second day and was investigated by the police for suspected crimes such as "abuse of disciples", "plagiarizing disciples' works", "frauding multiple businessmen". And Yusuke Kitamura became a key witness "from that day" and adopted such strange statements because the forces led by Masayoshi Lion were putting pressure on the lower side and investigating the monster thieves on an over-standard scale, which made Yusuke Kitamura always trapped in the police station and suffered fatigue bombing interrogation.
Of course, this is related to Kitamura Yusuke's knowledge of not reporting it. If he had told the situation out of the original form, he would have been released long ago... In fact, Leeds didn't need his help to hide it. Leeds never took the power of the material world seriously. This is just that Kitamura Yusuke would rather suffer than disclose any information that might lead to the whereabouts of the monster thieves from his own sense of justice and gratitude.
Fortunately, even though Shi Tong Yusuke had only one hand, he could not make "a witness who was unwilling to speak" become a "juvenile criminal". At least he could not do it in the police station, so Yusuke Kitamura was finally released.
Yusuke Kitamura is almost penniless now. Matsume Yiliuzhai is his guardian, but Matsume Yiliuzhai's assets have nothing to do with him... He has several works that were once plagiarized and belonged to him again after the investigation was completed. However, there are common problems in this society. The same works were hanged on the heads of celebrities and were blown to the sky, while those hanging on the heads of newcomers were picked three or four. These works could not be sold at any good prices.
Fortunately, Kitamura Yusuke is an amazing student and the school can also provide dormitories, so he did not sleep on the streets because his place of residence was sealed.
"... Sure enough, has the government targeted the monster thieves with special abilities? It's ironic. The people who do bad things are Mama, but the focus of the investigation is on them." Yusuke Kitamura, who was driving all the way to follow him to the outside of the school, probably from the special search department, was unable to relieve this.
Of course, he also knew that he was looking at the problem from the perspective of the victims of the Madara incident. In the eyes of most people in society, the more dangerous thing is the monster thieves. No matter whether they do good or bad things, it is impossible to have power beyond the standard!
"There is no choice. I will stay in the school during this period and wait for the limelight to pass..." Kitamura Yusuke shook his head and walked back to the dormitory from the balcony.
"…?" He saw a piece of wrapped board on his bed, and there was a letter with yellow cloth printed with cat claws on it.
"How is that possible!?" Yusuke Kitamura hurried over and opened the letter. He was too lazy to think about how these things suddenly appeared in his dormitory.
A few minutes later, he followed the letter and processed it.
Then, trembling hands, carefully lifting the packaging of the plate.
“…This is “Little Sayuri”…”
The original work of "Suyuri" in the material world has been damaged by Madara Yiluazai, leaving only a Japanese woman in red who lowered her head and looked at something gentle.
This is the secret treasure of cognitive world "Suyuri", which is exactly the same as the original work. A Japanese woman in red holds a baby in swading clothes, but because of Madara Yiluazai's confession, this painting will not be recognized by anyone in society.
Kitamura Yusuke shed tears.
