Chapter 43 Investigation

The atmosphere in today's countermeasure room was very depressing, but such a gloomy atmosphere was not caused by everyone present - if the reason for this is probably the murder of Isayama Huangquan's father.

According to some unknown customs, all the members of the strategy room except for Noriyuki Iizuna and Tsuchinomiya Kagura were excluded from the funeral, and the rest of the people had to wait for the news that the two of them brought back to know what was going on.

"Today's work is over, I'll go back first. In such a sluggish atmosphere, Zhao Mian, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, suddenly stood up straight, then waved at the four people who were still sitting in the office, and then turned around and walked towards the door.

Zhidai, who was also infected by the current atmosphere, and the relationship between the girls was also more friendly, suddenly stood up at this time, and kept up with Zhao Mian's footsteps

"Looks like the atmosphere here doesn't make him feel better, Naboo. One of the Naboo brothers said, and although he still looked expressionless, he could tell from his voice that his mood was not high.

"He's not been here long, Naboo, after all. Another Naboo brother picked up.

"We just wait for the news, it's just human nature that he's leaving. Mr. Iwabata retracted the figure that watched Zhao Mian and the others leave—Tomoyo followed behind Zhao Mian, bowing politely before going out of the house, and then closed the door and left.

"Agreed, Naboo. "Agreed, Naboo. Answered at the same time.

But is this really just human nature? Maybe it's true for any ordinary person, but the person who left this time is not an ordinary person.

"Which ...... Although he hesitated, Zhidai still grabbed Zhao Mian's arm. After leaving the office building of the countermeasure room, Zhao Mian, who said that he wanted to go back, did not go back to the hotel, but went to another completely opposite road - this is natural and can't hide the Zhidai who followed him, so after walking two streets, Zhidai finally didn't suppress his curiosity and grabbed Zhao Mian, "Where are we going?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Zhao Mian glanced back at Zhidai, then grabbed her wrist with his backhand, and walked forward quickly, "Naturally, I went to the Isayama Mansion." ”

"But everyone in the Isayama clan should be in the cemetery now, right? There was no discomfort, Zhidai let Zhao Mian pull her forward quickly.

"It is precisely because it is an empty house that I choose the present and the past. Zhao Mian stopped, waiting for a change in the traffic light - but at this moment, he looked back and found that the girl's shoulders were already soaked in the drizzle, and the slightly thin body curves were gradually emerging. So he paid a little attention to the gaze of the people around him, then jerked out a hooded coat and draped it over Tomoyo's body, and pulled the hat over her head—and rubbed it through the hat. He continued, "Iizuna Kiyuki Sakuraba was neither there, and I don't believe that Iizuna really went to the funeral that I don't know, so the two of them must have gone to investigate what they wanted to know - which means that there are still doubts about the death of Isayama's father in the attack of evil spirits described in that official report. But if I want to investigate the truth, I have to get close to the place where the incident happened, and although I don't know why, the Isayama family blocked the entry to the place of the incident, and with the identities of the two of us, I can't find a suitable entry point to investigate. The traffic lights on the street finally turned from red to green, and Zhao Mian's footsteps began to move forward again, "Then, let's just bypass the people of the Isayama family - hastily deciding the case when there are still doubts about the matter itself, this proves that someone used power to interfere with the investigation of the matter, and the struggle for power and profit among the wealthy families is simply commonplace, and the truth will be concealed by this conflict of interests." ”

"Truth...... "Zhidai muttered to herself, and then she asked Zhao Mian her own question, "But even if we find the so-called truth, what can we change?"

"Change what?" Zhao Mian smiled, "We can't change anything, because what has happened can't be changed, and what hasn't happened yet doesn't need to be changed—but the truth itself will become our weapon, no matter how true a lie is, it's just a fragile and beautiful bubble in the face of the incomparably absurd truth." ”

"Yes...... Is that so?" Chiyo hesitated.

"Of course it is. Zhao Mian nodded without hesitation, and then stopped his steps, "Ah, it's here." ”

Isayama House, this is a building that looks a little old, but if you look at the family tree of the Isayama family, this house looks very new. Perhaps it was because of bad luck, or maybe it was simply because the pure neighborhood had gone to the funeral, and the house seemed a little ethereal in the hazy drizzle—and lonely and quiet. But this silence was completely destroyed in the following time.

"Well, sure enough, there is no one left, do you believe that your family's prestige will not be provoked?" Zhao Mian looked at the house in front of him for a while, and then said, "But it's a pity, this judgment is simply ridiculous." He pulled Tomoyo forward two steps, then grabbed the iron door in front of him with his free hand, and jerked it up. "Crunch~~" With a sharp metallic sound, the iron door was completely demolished by Zhao Mian, and then thrown aside.

"I don't think that's okay?" Zhidai poked his head out from behind Zhao Mian, looked at the iron gate that had been inserted in the flower bed in the courtyard, and said a little overwhelmed, "We can go in as long as we go around, although this place is empty for the time being, but it's still Isayama's home, right?"

"Tomoyo, you're still too naïve. Zhao Mian patted Zhidai's head with some amusement, and then took the lead in stepping into the Isayama family's house, "I'm just setting up an image for the other party that someone has been here - because evil spirits don't do this kind of thing to an empty house where no one is there." I'm instilling in the other party the image that 'someone with a very strong force has been here', and I don't believe that the other person will have the leisure to find out who has been here when the matter within my own family has not yet been completely decided. Well...... Although this should not be hidden from Isayama and Kagura, it doesn't matter, and I'm sure the two of them can at least see what it means. ”

"What does it mean?" Zhidai followed Zhao Mian closely, although she looked at the beautiful decorations that appeared around her with some curiosity, and she didn't know if they were exquisite decorations or really ancient works of art, but she only stopped at the point of curiosity and did not step forward to touch them.

"Means I've been here. Zhao Mian stopped his steps outside a room, then turned around and kicked open the closed door, "There is a strong smell of blood, it seems that this should be the place." ”

Zhidai poked his head out of Zhao Mian's side, and what appeared in front of her, in addition to the door that had some cracks, was a study that looked extremely messy - if Zhao Mian's judgment was not wrong, then this was the scene of the crime. But it is not expected to be much wrong, because the smell that pervades this room, which Tomoyo has tasted many times, is the strong smell of blood.

"Well, there's no time to waste. We still have to make a time difference with each other. After Zhao Mian finished speaking, he walked into the room and began to check the blood stains and objects that were obviously artificially messed up in the room little by little.

"Time difference?" said Tomoyo curiously.

"Yes, the time difference. Zhao Mian didn't look back, but was busy with herself, but she still gave Zhidai the answer she wanted, "We have to make a time difference with everyone in the Isayama family, leave before the other party returns here, and then after the other party leaves the cemetery, we will go to the cemetery." ”

"What are we going to the cemetery for, do we want to pay homage to Isayama's father?" said Tomoyo, frowning, and said with some reluctance - maybe it was just an illusion, she always had a bad feeling.

"Go to the cemetery to open the coffin for an autopsy. Zhao Mian replied, "We can't get the complete truth with the information here, I have to confirm the corpse - ah, the custom of burial in this country is also a great help, otherwise it would be too troublesome to only have ashes." ”
