Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: The silhouette in the surveillance and the warning under the dead tree

"Father, they shouldn't be taking any action for now. Come over to me, I have another matter I need your help with."

After Kira Yoshikage hung up his father's call, he slammed on the brakes and pulled his car to the side of the road.

His expression was grim. "I never would have thought, I never would have thought, I checked so carefully, yet I still left so many clues. Tsk, damn it, I even forgot the footprints."

"Indeed, even with the original owner's memories, I'm still too naive. Compared to these experienced murderers, I still need more practice."

He raised his hand and subconsciously reached for the inner pocket of his clothes, wanting to calm down, but then realized that hand had already been blown off by him because it was no longer fresh.

Kira Yoshikage could only give up, while his gaze swept across the surrounding streets. This was a relatively secluded street. As evening approached, only a few pedestrians were strolling on the street, making it a suitable hunting ground for him.

"175 centimeters, wearing a suit, office worker... Is Jotaro cheating or something?"

Kira pressed his hand on the steering wheel and quietly grumbled, his eyes constantly searching for prey. Since the other party wanted to check surveillance to find him, he had to mislead them.

Aren't they looking for people based on the crime?

Then he just needed to disguise his Stand as a long-range Stand.

They were now trying to find people based on surveillance, partly as a casual attempt, and partly because of the footprints he left. But as long as he disguised himself as a long-range Stand, the surveillance investigation would directly lose its meaning.

It was just a pity that the townspeople were going to suffer.

Before long, seeing the bird carrying the photo arrive, Kira Yoshikage knew the time was right.

And coincidentally, a bicycle was riding forward in front of him... 'Perfect prey.'

"Killer Queen, Sheer Heart Attack!"

His fingertips tapped out a rhythmic beat on the leather steering wheel's Surface. Killer Queen's pink phantom flickered in the passenger seat. His right hand rolled down the window, and a small car with a skull on it flew directly out of his left hand.

"The target? It will be the people on that bicycle. Blow them up and then come back."

Then Kira Yoshikage looked at the bird and photo that had already flown to his side. "Father, I hope you follow my bomb and launch an attack on the town. I want to distract Jotaro and the others."

"If anything unexpected happens, you just notify me, and I will come over and retrieve my Sheer Heart Attack."

"Alright, but Yoshikage, they are about to discover you. If you do this now..."

This time, Kira Yoshihiro hesitated a little. In his opinion, the best way now should be to run away. After all, the Kira family was not short of money. As descendants of a samurai family, they had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.

Plus the unexpected fortune Kira had just acquired, he could live a carefree life in another city. Continuing to kill would only expand the case and eventually lead to him being found out.

"Father, what I pursue is a peaceful life. If I leave now, it would be like a stray dog fleeing in panic, and I would never achieve inner tranquility."

Kira Yoshikage's demeanor was calm, looking at Kira Yoshihiro with such calmness, but inwardly he couldn't help but curse. This was all because the original Kira Yoshikage's condition for a peaceful life was to stay in this town.

Otherwise, he would have long since taken the money and run off to another city for a peaceful life. Fighting with the protagonists... Was it necessary?

"Alright, Yoshikage."

Kira Yoshihiro finally sighed deeply, but still piloted the flying bird to chase after the Koware Chimamire ahead. There was nothing he could do; it was all to compensate his son.

Watching the small car with the skull on it constantly chase forward, Kira Yoshikage's heart grew calmer, watching the small car gradually move out of his sight.

This was his method. Killer Queen's second bomb, Sheer Heart Attack, had the ability to cause a powerful explosion upon contact with high-temperature objects and could track based on temperature.

It could also lock onto an enemy and specifically pursue and kill a particular enemy. When it was within Kira Yoshikage's sight, Kira Yoshikage had strong control over it.

But once it left Kira Yoshikage's sight, this thing was like an artificial idiot, only blowing people up based on temperature... Before killing the target specified by Kira Yoshikage, it would constantly bomb until it killed the desired target, only then would it stop and return to Kira Yoshikage's side.

"Sheer Heart Attack's speed is only C. Even after enhancement, it can't reach B-level. It's probably equivalent to a fast-running ordinary person? Using a bicycle as a target is just right."

Later, every time the small car killed someone, his father would tell him, and he would keep the phone line open throughout, completely reshaping Kira Yoshikage's killing logic.

As for himself? He was going to find prey now. This timing was just right. While the small car was killing people, he could also take advantage of the chaos to find a new girlfriend.

Kira pulled out a coin from his suit's inner pocket and lightly flicked it up with his finger. He wondered if the first bomb could be made into a contact bomb, then could it be upgraded into a grenade and a time bomb using the first bomb?

"Forget it, I'll experiment next time." Kira twisted the car key, and the engine let out a low rumble. He drove the car forward and turned onto another street to a store.

Kira Yoshikage opened the door and got out, then twisted the car key back to lock the door. He tossed the coin in one hand as he walked into the store.

He looked up and saw the store owners, a husband and wife, tidying up the shop. He greeted them, and they returned the greeting, "Are you closing soon?"

"Oh, yes, sir, it's you. It's our closing time, but if you want to buy something now, I can sell it to you at a discount."

Kira Yoshikage smiled upon hearing this. He had memories of this couple; he often came here to buy vegetables and fruits. He remembered that when they went home, they had to pass through a secluded alley.

The man wasn't very tall, just a little over 1.7 meters, but he looked quite sturdy.

His wife, on the other hand, was pretty. Although her face was ordinary, her hands, despite constantly working, had not been neglected in terms of care. They looked white, soft, and tender.

"Hmm, as usual..."

"Oh, one steak, two bottles of orange juice, a carton of milk... plus some fish, right? You always buy these. Same as before, 3500 yen, you can just give 3000 yen."

Before Kira Yoshikage could even say what he wanted, the owner, on his own, picked up various foods, put them in a bag, and handed them to Yoshikage.

The proprietress next to him was also tidying things up, smiling as she said, "You're a strange one, always wanting the same things. Don't you want to try something new? We have sake that just arrived from Tokyo, you know."

"No thanks, these are what I want, but today, add an extra bag of candy."

Seeing this, Kira Yoshikage took out three 1,000-yen bills and placed them on the counter, then picked up his food. Then, as if he had thought of something.

He also placed a 100-yen coin on the counter, then picked up some candy and turned to leave.

The car slowly drove out from behind the withered trees, the sound of the tires crunching over fallen leaves was very soft, almost inaudible in the evening breeze.

He didn't go far, just drove a short distance forward and stopped at a narrow alley entrance. He checked to make sure there were no surveillance cameras there, then Kira Yoshikage stopped the car, took out a piece of candy, and began to eat it.

While eating the candy, he squinted his eyes, looking very much in enjoyment. Unbeknownst to him, Killer Queen had already appeared and was quietly waiting outside the car.

And the couple slowly walked over from a distance. After seeing Kira Yoshikage's car, they greeted him again, and Kira Yoshikage also smiled and responded to them.

"Sir, are you..."

"Nothing, just enjoying the evening breeze."

"Alright then, goodbye."

The two waved and turned to walk into the narrow alley. Seeing the couple's happy and loving appearance, Kira Yoshikage also smiled happily. There were no witnesses now.

"Boom!"

The coin instantly exploded, and a terrifying force erupted in the man's pocket, directly blowing him to smithereens and making him disappear. His wife, who was holding his arm, was full of confusion, but before she could speak.

Behind her, a coin was flicked over, hitting her directly on the back. At the same time, a new explosion erupted.

Finally, only one hand and two coins fell from the air, directly caught by the long-waiting Killer Queen and placed back into the car.

Kira gently wrapped the severed hand in a handkerchief and placed it inside his clothes.

"This hand is wonderful, as soft, white, and tender as it looks, just like a marshmallow."

Stroking the hand, Kira Yoshikage showed a satisfied smile. Indeed, he had chosen the right target this time. This hand made him feel fulfilled.

As for the two coins?

He didn't even pick them up, letting Killer Queen blow them to pieces directly. This time, he had learned his lesson. Regarding the victims, he wouldn't even touch them, just blow them up directly.

As for the tools of the crime? Any possible traces? Blow them all up! Not even a footprint left!

And when he had dealt with all the traces and was about to spend some quality time with his new girlfriend, his father called.

After finishing the call, Kira Yoshikage muttered to himself, sensing something strange.

"Strange, something feels off. Why do I feel like I've become more extreme? A bit like that person from the 5th part... What was his name, Ghiaccio , right?"

"How could I become so extreme, and I really do seem to have a hand fetish. Wait! There's something wrong with that Italyan food!"
