Qiao Qiao took the imperial guard and looked at it carefully.

It is the ornament of Ise Jingu, just like the ones sold in Jingu.

"As long as I wear this omamori, I can gain Qiao San's perception, so that I can participate in the investigation even if I am sitting in the Arashi Palace."

Really?

And this handy prop?

Qiao Qiao put it on.

Satoka Kita-Shirakawa caresses the bronze mirror.

A picture appeared in the mirror, which was exactly what Qiao Qiao was seeing now.

Qiao Qiao looked at the bronze mirror, and the picture in the bronze mirror reflected the picture in the bronze mirror, over and over again, continuously.

No nesting dolls!

Qiao Qiao looked away.

"Is it really the witch of the mirror world?"

Qiao Qiao sighed secretly, and then asked.

"Why me?"

Qiao Qiao is just an alien soul eliminator, although he has made a small contribution to the cause of soul removal, but for Ise Jingu, after all, he is an outsider, and this kind of investigation that may involve people in the shrine is not inappropriate for him.

"Because I think there may be some problems in the shrine, and many people are not worth trusting."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said.

Although she lacks the common sense of life in the outside world, she still has basic judgment.

With a murder of this magnitude in such close proximity to Ise Jingu, there must have been some problems within the shrine.

To put it simply, there are internal ghosts.

"Then am I worth believing?"

Qiao Qiao asked rhetorically.

"What if I'm the murderer, the one who came to Ise Jingu to sow discord?"

"I believe it."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said firmly.

I don't know where the faith came from.

"Okay, so what do you know about the Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden?"

Qiao Qiao sighed, he has always had no resistance to this kind of straight ball, since the other party chooses to believe in himself, then Qiao Qiao can't stay out of it.

Anyway, if there is a shrine maiden from the mirror world, I guess the matter will be solved soon.

He thought.

"Actually, in the Divine Palace, there have always been three factions."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said.

The current Shaonomiya Division, the Fujiba family of Fujiba Teruyo, used to be the chief priest of the Ise Jingu Shrine was a woman from the Fujiba family, and later it was changed to a person with outstanding spiritual power, and now the Fujiba family has many family members serving in the Ise Shrine, which is the largest and most powerful faction.

The Kuroda family, a family that has served as a few young palace divisions, has declined in recent years, and Kuroda Jun is from this family, and now the Kuroda family is scattered in the shrine, and it is said that the Kuroda sisters were sent by their father to take care of the chief priestess in order to establish a good relationship.

Finally, there is a third force composed of small families such as Takaji and Ikeda, and in recent years, especially after Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa became the chief shrine maiden, it has gained momentum, and strictly speaking, Koji Tanizaki is also considered to be this faction.

"It's complicated."

Qiao Qiao really doesn't understand people's hearts.

These families are chaotic and entangled, and it sounds like a big head.

"Then the Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden is counted as the third force?"

Hearing Qiao Qiao's inquiry, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa shook her head.

"I don't belong to any force, if I really want to say it, I belong to Ise Jingu, and that's why I want to investigate this."

It's really upright.

Qiao Qiao probably figured out his thoughts.

Since the young palace Sito Ha Teruyo is about to step down, the competition for the next young palace secretary has also entered a white heat.

Huwei Mountain, where the case occurred, is the jurisdiction of the Kuroda family, and if this kind of thing happens, the Kuroda family's reputation will inevitably be killed.

And the deceased is the girlfriend of the Tanizaki family's child, which is undoubtedly a deterrent for the third force.

Therefore, within the shrine, the most rumored thing at present is that the Fujinami family teamed up with youkai behind their backs to create such an incident.

"But it's so obvious, it's not normal, isn't it really just a monster or some old god cult doing something?"

Qiao Qiao bled his cheeks and thought.

"It may be those guys who do it, but without the help of people inside the shrine, ordinary youkai and old god believers can't do these things."

Satoma Kita-Shirakawa is slightly melancholy.

She probably didn't want to doubt her own people.

"Moreover, such a thing is not without precedent."

"When the Fujiba family was the hereditary chief priest, there was a case of people within the Fujiba family colluding with youkai to persecute their daughters, and it was that incident that caused the Fujiba family to lose the position of the main priest later."

For the sake of inheritance, even use youkai against your own people?

Qiao Qiao couldn't figure it out.

"However, the Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden seems to know a lot about these things, huh?"

He thought that compared to the knowledge of the outside world, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa really knew everything about the internal affairs of the shrine.

And when it comes to these things, it becomes very serious.

Is this also a contrast?

"This is because as a shrine maiden of the main priesthood, I need to learn about this history."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said that she seemed a little embarrassed, so she turned her face away.

"That's right."

Qiao Qiao didn't ask much.

There is a proverb in Huaxia that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and he understands it.

He remembered Kuroda Makoto, who was still waiting outside, so he said a few more words to Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa and got up to say goodbye.

"I've been waiting."

Qiao Qiao said to Kuroda Makoto, who was holding a red oil-paper umbrella.

"Nope."

Kuroda Makoto is much weaker than her sister, especially after the events of the day, and at the moment she is like a frightened little animal.

"By the way, have you sisters been taking care of the presiding priest before?"

Qiao Qiao asked casually.

"Well, since the chief priest entered the Arashi Sacrifice Palace, it was taken care of by my sister, and I only came here last year."

She's a little easier to talk than Junya Kuroda.

"If you say, Ayako Kashiwagi was killed by people inside the shrine, who do you think it will be?"

Click-

Kuroda Makoto's red straw sandals stepped on the snow and suddenly stopped.

"I don't know."

After a moment, she replied.

"But I know that Koji Tanizaki and Ayako Kashiwagi haven't been dating for long, and their relationship is not so deep, and besides, Ayako Kashiwagi was dating Koji Tanizaki's good friend Kyotaro Ikeda before."

Kuroda Makoto said quietly, and then took another step.

“？”

Qiao Qiao was a little stunned when he heard this.

Truth be told, he is doing the removal of spirits.

Find the weird, come to an RPG, it's really not okay to do it again, it's over.

This kind of interpersonal communication problem can't be beaten all over again, it's really difficult.

"Kyotaro Ikeda is already an official priest, and he doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Koji Tanizaki."

In Qiao Qiao's ears, the voice of Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa suddenly came.

Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden?

Qiao Qiao thought in his heart.

No response.

"Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden?"

He said softly, and Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa responded.

"Yes, this omamori can communicate with me at any time, and if you have any questions, you can feel free to ask me."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said, and suddenly sighed again.

"That's what the outside world looks like."

Her voice was full of excitement.

Let Qiao Qiao also raise a little motivation.
