Finally, under everyone's persuasion, Nijimura Okuyasu still did not use his ability to directly kill Red Hot Chili Pepper.
Seeing that the protagonist group had no intention of killing him, Red Hot Chili Pepper was completely uncooperative, refusing to reveal where he was hiding.
"You bastard!"
Higashikata Josuke punched him in the head, causing his entire Stand to shriek and its brightness to dim further, but he could only stop there.
They were, after all, the righteous protagonist group; unless the opponent committed an unforgivable crime and continued to do so, they would not kill anyone.
Even though this Stand User killed Okuyasu's brother, Okuyasu chose not to kill him; after all, the opponent offered no resistance, so he could only arrest him and send him to prison.
Josuke could only stand there, using Crazy Diamond to guard Red Hot Chili Pepper in Jotaro's stead, and then Jotaro began contacting Joseph Joestar, preparing to use Spirit Photography to locate the opponent.
Watching Da Congming, who was panting heavily and whose anger was forcibly suppressed in his eyes, and Red Hot Chili Pepper, who was dim and looked like he was on the verge of death.
He suddenly began to taunt, "Hey, Okuyasu, you stupid fool! Your brother was killed by me, yet you, a clumsy, slow idiot, don't even dare to lay a hand on me? Bah, coward, chicken!"
"Or are you simply indifferent to your brother, not even considering him your brother?! I heard everything you said earlier; didn't you imply your brother deserved to die? Ah ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing Red Hot Chili Pepper pointing at him with a disdainful expression, Nijimura Okuyasu instantly became enraged, "What did you say?!"
He immediately wanted to throw a punch, to give that guy a solid hit, but someone was faster than him; a fist traveling over 300 kilometers per hour directly smashed into Red Hot Chili Pepper, sending him flying.
"What trick are you up to now?!"
Higashikata Josuke walked over directly, Crazy Diamond staring at the increasingly dim Stand before him.
His brows were deeply furrowed; although he was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, he was still very intelligent, and his combat IQ was not low; it was clear that the opponent had a trick up his sleeve.
"Heh, no matter what, all you dare to do is beat me up a little! What's wrong? I'm lying here now, completely defenseless, yet you still don't dare to kill me, Nijimura Okuyasu. You are just like a dirty cockroach living in a toilet and sewer, shrinking away in fear as soon as the light is on and someone sees you!"
"Oh, no, you are even dirtier and more despicable than a dirty cockroach; your courage is not even as good as a mere cockroach's! You only dare to hide in dilapidated houses like a homeless person with stray dogs! Even if a stray dog's brother is beaten to death, you don't dare to seek revenge!"
But even after taking a punch from Higashikata Josuke, Red Hot Chili Pepper still managed to prop himself up and continue to taunt Okuyasu, making him completely red with anger.
"Hmph, Josuke, don't stop me! I'm going to kill him! Anyway, there have been so many strange deaths in town recently, so getting rid of this murderer now won't matter."
Seeing The Hand already summoned, Higashikata Josuke inwardly cursed, realizing that Da Congming could indeed be manipulated by the opponent's words.
"Wait! Don't..."
But it was already too late; The Hand was about to bring his hand down. Out of necessity, Crazy Diamond punched The Hand's arm, causing him to swerve and his hand's swing to miss.
It didn't land on Red Hot Chili Pepper but a little in front of him.
"You fell for it! This is my escape route!"
Red Hot Chili Pepper immediately shrieked with excitement, his body once again radiating brilliant light, and he rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, laughing wildly.
This was his plan: because Crazy Diamond's punches were much faster than The Hand's, and The Hand's ability could directly erase a space.
They didn't want to kill anyone, so he could completely use their power to create a gap, after all, they wouldn't stand by and watch him die!
Seeing the large section of cables exposed as the ground was erased, Red Hot Chili Pepper's face was filled with excitement; he remembered the location of every underground cable in town, and now he had hope!
But just as Red Hot Chili Pepper had already leaped out, and Jotaro was on the phone, unable to stop him in time, he was about to directly penetrate the electrical wires.
"Echoes Act 2!"
However, he heard the short guy named Koichi Hirose on the side also shout, and then he instantly felt as if he had been swept by a strong wind.
His entire Stand was directly blown backward, and Crazy Diamond behind him punched him in the stomach, pinning him to the ground.
"Good job, Koichi!"
"No, no, it's nothing, I just worried he would escape, so I had Echoes leave some words on him in advance."
"I never thought he wouldn't notice my movements at all, but that was really close just now; he almost got away."
Koichi scratched his head, smiling somewhat shyly. He had also grown these past few days. He had noticed something was wrong just now, and to prevent the opponent from escaping, he had specifically used Echoes to leave a skill on the opponent in advance.
Now it seemed that this decision was indeed correct. "You did do a good job, Koichi."
Jotaro, who had finished his call, also seriously praised Koichi and patted Okuyasu's shoulder; for his somewhat silent personality, this was already a form of comfort.
"No need to interrogate him anymore; the telegram will arrive soon. Just search according to the information."
"That's right, Okuyasu, don't be angry; we will send him to prison..."
Higashikata Josuke sighed, comforting Okuyasu again. The killer of his brother was right in front of him, yet he couldn't kill him; he could understand that emotion.
It was like when he saw Angelo, that bastard who killed his grandfather; just seeing that wanton murderer made him furious from the bottom of his heart.
"I understand how you feel, but right now we can't kill him; the Arrow is still in his hands, and we must find him."
And Okuyasu didn't make a move again, just breathing deeply in silence. He also realized he had fallen for the trick just now, but he gritted his teeth, glaring at this bastard who had used his own foolishness against him.
And this time, Red Hot Chili Pepper was truly desperate, just lying motionless on the ground. His main body had probably already begun its escape; given Red Hot Chili Pepper's low feedback of damage to the main body, running now might still allow him to get away.
Before long, a fax machine and a telephone both started working again. Jotaro immediately picked up the phone, just about to speak, but saw something unusual happening in front of him.
Red Hot Chili Pepper suddenly screamed and struggled desperately, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"No! Help..."
The next moment, Red Hot Chili Pepper's entire Stand directly exploded, leaving no trace, completely disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. This symptom seemed to indicate that the Stand User had died. Who killed him?
At this moment, the fax machine also printed out a picture. In the picture, a blue-haired rock musician was running desperately forward, holding a bulging bag in his hand.
And behind him, a person's upper body suddenly exploded, and he was looking in that direction in horror, fleeing desperately.
"Damn it, is this blue-haired guy the murderer?!"
Higashikata Josuke snatched the photo, his expression immediately turning serious. The Arrow was still there, and this was probably a new enemy! Hopefully, the opponent didn't know what the Arrow was for.
"Moshi Moshi, can you hear me?"
"Ah, I can hear you. That Stand User is dead."
Jotaro said calmly, "It seems that the blue-haired man is the Stand User; someone killed him."
