After the father and son talked for a while, Kira Yoshikage was convinced that he probably wasn't suspected. Since that was the case, there was no need to eliminate his only helper.
Kira Yoshihiro was a little worried, "Since they know about the Arrow, they are probably the group who defeated Dio, or perhaps Dio's remnants."
"None of Dio's remnants are good people; they commit all sorts of evil deeds, so we must be careful of them. But if it's the group who defeated Dio..."
Kira Yoshihiro didn't continue, but Kira Yoshikage already understood his meaning: if it was the people who defeated Dio, then that group likely possessed a very strong sense of justice.
And in fact, he guessed correctly; it was Jotaro, who had defeated Dio, who had come to this place.
"Hmm, I found out a bit about them today. They are led by someone named Jotaro, and there's also a 17-year-old high school student, Higashikata Josuke. Perhaps they could be called JOJO. Have you heard these names?"
"Nani, Jotaro? And the title 'JOJO'? As expected, these are Dio's enemies; they have indeed come!"
Kira Yoshihiro's expression turned serious. He had once heard from others under Dio that someone named Jotaro was foolishly challenging Dio, and that person's name could also be referred to as 'JOJO'.
Not long after that, there was no news from Dio's side; he had been defeated. This Jotaro was probably the one who defeated Dio. But what about that high school student?
Thinking of the danger his son might face, Kira Yoshihiro's eyes gradually became resolute.
"Yoshikage, where are they? I'll go eliminate them now, before they discover you!"
"Be careful, Father, don't alert them."
Kira Yoshikage was calm. He basically knew all the necessary information; the only thing he didn't know was their movements and if there were any deviations in the plot. His father was for this purpose.
As for eliminating Jotaro? Kira Yoshihiro's Stand ability was indeed very strong, but Jotaro's combat experience was also very rich. He didn't think Kira Yoshihiro could accomplish this.
"According to my current information, the two people I need to be most careful of are a high school student in Block 6, Section 1 of Jozenji Street, and another residing in the Duwang Ding Hotel, specific room unknown. The latter is very dangerous, so you must be careful."
"Father, I want you to go monitor them. Also, take this..."
Kira Yoshihiro acknowledged, picked up a cell phone and the item Kira Yoshikage entrusted to him, then rushed out.
Jotaro was one thing, but that 17-year-old high school student... He wanted to see who this person was. At 17, it seemed impossible for him to be connected to Dio... The next day at noon, somewhere in Grape Hill High School.
"Hey, Koichi, you're here."
Higashikata Josuke greeted Koichi, who was walking from a distance, while eating his lunch. Koichi waved back in acknowledgment, but his face was full of worry.
"Hey, Koichi, what's with that expression? Tell us if something's wrong. Is that weird long-haired woman bothering you again?"
Seeing Koichi's troubled expression, Higashikata Josuke's face became serious, but Da Congming nearby interrupted him, "Hey, hey, hey, Josuke, it absolutely can't be about that. She and I are in the same class, and she hasn't left the classroom all morning."
After speaking, he turned back and looked at Koichi with his wise eyes, "Hmm, let me guess, you don't have enough pocket money, so you're in a bad mood!"
Hearing this, Koichi twitched his mouth, "How could it be about something like that? It's about that hidden Stand User Mr. Jotaro mentioned yesterday, and another dangerous Stand User hiding in town. Aren't you two scared?"
Although he considered these two good friends, Koichi Hirose still found it difficult to understand their way of thinking.
Yesterday, after seeing the faxed picture, Jotaro immediately determined that the dyed-haired person who was blown up was the Stand User, because faxing takes time, and spirit photography also takes time.
Therefore, the Stand User had already been killed, and another Stand User was still hidden in town and had not been captured by spirit photography. And the old woman's psychic energy was reportedly declining, so she needed to wait to perform spirit photography again.
During this time, they still needed to investigate on their own, but why were these two so relaxed?!
"Hey, hey, hey, Koichi, don't be so nervous. Didn't we find Red Hot Chili Pepper yesterday? It's just another Stand User; we'll find him soon enough."
Josuke Higashikata said somewhat indifferently. In his opinion, since his brother's killer was already dead, the remaining people would eventually be caught, so there was no need to worry so much.
After all, Mr. Jotaro was truly reliable; as long as he was around, that hidden Stand User definitely wouldn't be able to hide for long.
Higashikata Josuke also nodded, deeply agreeing. Jotaro had already started searching the murder scene from yesterday, and the identity of the killed Stand User had been confirmed as Otoishi Akira.
As long as they found a clue, they could follow it to catch the culprit.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jotaro has already found that electricity bastard's home through the SPW Foundation. Once we find the Arrow, and then go to the murder scene, we can trace the killer by checking the timeline."
He paused, then added, "Compared to that, my lunch money isn't quite enough today. I only have 500 yen left, Okuyasu..."
"Don't even think about it, you're too abrupt. I only brought enough for this meal. I can't just go to the bank to withdraw money just for one meal, can I?"
"No choice, I'll go eat a Warm Ding-Ding Bento with you, Josuke."
"Huh, that kind of bento, plus a drink, is less than 500 yen. It's not filling at all. Oh well, I still want to eat at the student cafeteria."
Looking at his two friends, one was in a good mood because his great revenge had been exacted, and the other was basically relieved and had already started chatting and laughing.
Koichi couldn't hold back anymore and directly interrupted his friends, "But, but, someone went missing at school yesterday!"
At these words, both of them froze, turning their heads blankly to look at Koichi.
Koichi's face was covered in sweat at this point, and he couldn't help but recall the news he had just heard, "I just passed by the middle school section, and I heard some rumors there within the school. A middle school student suddenly disappeared yesterday afternoon!"
"He just didn't come back after going to eat lunch. I heard his parents have already reported it to the police, and the school is also looking for him. This news is spreading like wildfire in the middle school section."
"Hmm, something like that happened? But Koichi, are you sure it was that Stand User who did it?"
Josuke asked back with a serious look. It was indeed a bit coincidental, but... "Koichi, are you sure it wasn't because he ran into some delinquents or was in a traffic accident or something? These kinds of things happen in town every year, and even adult women go missing quite often. Don't be too sensitive."
Okuyasu said what Josuke didn't. His eyes were full of confusion. He really didn't think that a Stand User, other than his older brother, would randomly kill middle school students.
Currently, they hadn't seen anyone that bad. Well, except for Red Hot Chili Pepper, but he was after money. Killing children doesn't earn much.
"Yeah, Koichi, tell us in detail, are there any other specific circumstances? If you were to tell Mr. Jotaro about this, he would probably ask you, 'Is the culprit of the disappearance a Stand User?'"
"Exactly, it sounds more like a gang, even though there aren't any powerful gangs in town."
Josuke raised his hand and pointed at Koichi. He immediately felt uncomfortable all over. He had indeed just heard about it and came to tell them; he couldn't be sure it was really a Stand User who did it.
But his subconscious told him that this matter was very likely done by a Stand User.
"Uh, if there's anything else, it's that he was always said to be quite rich, always having extra pocket money from who knows where. I heard his parents didn't even know where he got so much money..."
"Stop, stop, stop. This sounds more like something a gang would do, doesn't it? This kid sounds like the type who borrows money from gangs, shows off everywhere, and then can't pay it back, ending up dragged into a dark alley and having his fingers chopped off like a rotten debtor."
This time, Nijimura Okuyasu also heard it; it felt like it had almost nothing to do with Stands. Of course, it was unlikely for a middle school student to become a rotten debtor.
It couldn't be that this kid was a Stand User and used his Stand to steal money, that's just impossible to imagine.
"Hmm, Koichi, this should be the work of the courts and the police. Don't think about these things anymore. Let's go, let's eat together."
"Don't take such things to heart. You can't expect Mr. Jotaro or the SPW Foundation to investigate every single incident, can you? Calm down."
"This... did I really overthink it?"
"Alright, alright, let's all go eat. But also be careful not to let anyone ambush you. That Stand User hasn't shown himself yet."
In the end, the three still ate at the student cafeteria, with Koichi lending Higashikata Josuke some money.
