Chapter 364. Stand decides the head
"Cancel the New Year's Festival? Impossible, absolutely impossible. ā
Ryo Fujinami shook his head.
The New Year's Festival is the most important festival in Ise Jingu in the first half of the year, and if it is canceled, then Teruyo Fujina, who is the secretary of the young palace, will inevitably be held accountable, and even the Fujiba family will be punished.
Before things get serious enough to that point, Ryo Fujinami also thinks that it can still be controlled.
"During the New Year's festival, the Ise Jingu Shrine will be flooded with tourists, even from the Chinese ethnic group, and in such a situation, if the old gods attack, the damage will be immeasurable."
When Hideki Kuroda heard Qiao Qiao's words, he agreed very much.
The Chinese are the nobles of the Wakuni country, and every year they pray for the New Year's festival, they will go to Ise Jingu to pray for good weather in the new year, these are all big names in the political and business circles, and if something goes wrong with them, it is not only a problem of Ise Jingu.
The cancellation of the New Year's festival will not be held accountable for this, but will be able to hit the Fujinami family, and Kuroda Hideki naturally agrees.
Thinking about it this way, families such as the Ikeda family and the Eagle family are naturally more willing to cancel the New Year's festival.
For a while, there were disputes in the hall, one after another, and each family quarreled endlessly for the interests of each family.
However, in the end, this matter still needs to be decided by Teruyo Fujina.
After closing his eyes and listening to the commotion, he opened his eyes.
"Be quiet."
Teruyo Fujina's voice echoed in the shrine hall.
He looked around at the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on Qiao Qiao.
"Qiao San, you are from Tokyo, although you are our guest, you have excellent past achievements, and you are a trusted soul exorcist by the Soul Remover Association."
Teruyo Fujiba said.
"I would like to invite you as an advisor to investigate the case concerning the death of Shinji Fujinaba and that reporter, and for that reason, I will give you the authority to investigate all the personnel in the shrine at will, I don't know if you agree."
His words made several other families complain.
After all, this is an internal matter of Ise Jingu, and it is really unbelievable to let an outsider intervene and give him the authority to investigate at will.
However, let each family put forward their opinions, and there is no unity.
"I'll do my best."
Qiao Qiao replied.
"The New Year's prayer festival will be held in 10 days, and before that, if the matter is not investigated, then the New Year's prayer festival will be cancelled."
Teruyo Fujiba said in a deep voice.
"This is the end of the matter."
......
After the meeting, Qiao Qiao followed Jun Kuroda and left the Wind and Sun Prayer Palace, where the roof of the Aramatsu Palace could be vaguely seen.
"You're in trouble."
After Hideki Kuroda left with Makoto Kuroda, Jun Kuroda looked at Qiao Qiao with a little distress.
"Do you mean let me investigate? That's okay, I'm pretty good at investigating weird things. ā
Qiao Qiao patted his chest, it was better for him to deal with weirdness than to find answers in complex interpersonal relationships.
"No ......"
Jun Kuroda shook his head.
"Do you know why the Shonomiya Division arranged for you to investigate this matter?"
"Because I'm an expert on weirdness, of course."
Qiao Qiao smiled, and when he saw the black line on Jun Kuroda's face, he added another sentence.
"It's because I'm not from your Ise Shrine, so I won't be affected by any family, right?"
Jun Kuroda nodded.
If the Fujinama family were to investigate this matter, the final result might be to point the finger at the other families, and at the same time carry out the New Year's festival as usual, causing all kinds of trouble to the other families.
The same is true for other forces.
Positions will take precedence over facts.
On the contrary, Qiao Qiao, from Tokyo, was recommended by the Soul Killer Association, and he will leave after a month of internship here, and he will have nothing to do with Ise Jingu from then on.
Such a foreigner is more suitable for investigation and is more likely to obtain a true conclusion.
Although Teruyo Fujiba is the head of the Fujiba family, he will definitely not be indifferent to the death of his grandson, and he must hope to find the culprit.
"That's right, and you'll also be greeted by families who want the New Year's festival to be cancelled...... For example, the Kuroda family's obstruction. ā
Kuroda said quietly.
"In Ise Jingu you will be left alone, and in the end you will not be able to do anything."
"Really?"
Qiao Qiao thought for a moment.
Everyone thinks that they are strangers and have no relatives.
But in fact, Qiaoqiao has already reached an agreement with Satoma Kita-Shirakawa.
In addition to the three forces of Ise Jingu, there is a fourth force.
It was the presiding priestess who had never been noticed before.
Qiao Qiao, who seems to be the least likely to intervene in the dispute in the Divine Palace, has actually intervened a long time ago.
Everyone thought it wouldn't be the guy from Erwuzai, but it turned out to be Erwuzai from the beginning.
Of course, Qiao Qiao felt that Shaogong Sito Bo Huishi should be clear, so he would find him to do these things.
"Kuroda-san, will you help me?"
Qiao Qiao asked.
"IāI'm going to focus on the big picture."
Jun Kuroda turned his face away.
"If it's really the old gods, then I'll definitely do my best to stop his plot against Ise Jingu, and I'll protect this shrine."
She cleared her throat and said.
"I'll take you to the dungeon, aren't you the best at channeling?"
"I'm tired."
Qiao Qiao watched Kuroda Jun turn around and lead the way, and in his ears, the voice of Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa floated over.
"Josan is such a special person, I've never seen a pure expression like that."
"Really?"
Qiao Qiao didn't quite understand what Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa meant.
"By the way, since you can know about Shinji Fujina's death in advance, have you seen the process of his death?"
While following behind Jun Kuroda, Qiao Qiao asked in a low voice.
"I didn't see it, I learned that this matter was also through the mirror on the side of the young palace division, this kind of thing, generally has nothing to do with the chief priest witch."
Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa is more like the mascot of Ise Jingu than the real power position of Shonomiya.
"And there are all kinds of spells in the dungeon, and I can't see it clearly."
The two of them came to a cave with stairs in the back mountain.
There were two priests stationed at the door, and when they saw Jun Kuroda, they made a salute.
"According to the order of the young palace division, I brought this person to conduct an investigation of the scene."
It seems that the news has been obtained here, and the two priests have made way for Jun Kuroda and Qiao Qiao to go down.
"The dungeon is based on a natural pit in the mountain, and it has three floors."
"The first level is the prison where ordinary soul slayer prisoners are held, with the use of movement restriction spells, and silence spells to block sounds, and the prisoners held here are unable to move or make sounds."
"The second layer is a prison for ordinary weirdness, which, in addition to the previous technique, also restricts the flow of spiritual power, as well as deprives the monster of its five senses."
"The third layer is imprisoned by powerful weirdness, suppressed by the Ise Jingu Shrine itself's Great Guardian Array, and the weirdness inside is said to be imperceptible to the flow of time."
As he went downstairs, Jun Kuroda explained.
Finally, they came to a flat place.
There are several priests guarding it, and it is unusually wide.
Several wooden cages are divided into spaces.
Most of them were empty, and there were a few people inside, and the people inside were a little sluggish and thin.
Among them, there is a cage, which is very special.
The cage was empty, but the wooden walls were full of flesh and blood.
A putrid smell came, disgusting.
Next to this cage, there were still four priests guarding, with solemn faces and vigilant staring around.
"This is where Shinji Fujinami is being held."
Jun Kuroda pointed there and said.
Qiao Qiao greeted the priests, and instead of walking directly into the cage, he stretched out his right hand and lightly touched the cage.
Start channeling.
