My lord, this is the upper ninja ...... from Konoha."

After the three of them hurried to the daimyo's bedroom, the head of the guard immediately whispered Hanyu's identity to one of the people present.

After hearing the words of the guard chief, the "adult" raised his eyebrows silently, and then immediately walked towards Hanyu with a wry smile, and then introduced his identity.

"Hanyu-sama, I'm Nikubo...... I really didn't expect that Your Excellency would see such a scene. ”

In any case, for the nobles of the Fire Country, it is the best thing for a Konoha Shinobi to appear at this time.

Before Hanyu came to Daimyo Castle this time, he had already learned a little about the composition of the Daimyo's family, and this "Nikubo-sama" was the most important thing, because he was the uncle of the dead Daimyo.

And just from the two sentences that Nikubo said, it can be heard that he has begun to faintly express to Hanyu that the death of the daimyo has nothing to do with him.

Hanyu is not just a shinobi now, because of the special timing of his appearance, it can even be said that his role is similar to that of the Hokage temporarily...... He represents Konoha's attitude.

Nikubo-sama is still a little weak-hearted, because he is more worried that Konoha people will think that he has made a daimyo than the people who suspect Konoha have made a daimyo.

After all, who has the most benefits and who has the most motive to commit the murder...... The things that the daimyo did in private were naturally to be hidden from others, so no one would know Konoha's disgusting attitude towards the daimyo.

"Nikubo-sama, are you the ones in this room who gathered together, they...... Is it reliable? ”

"Yes, it's too big after all...... Everyone is a relative of the Daimyo, the pillar of the Fire Country, so there will be no problem. ”

Whoever believes this sentence is a fool, and just from the first impression, Hanyu can tell that a considerable number of people in this house are lazy and lazy Fire Country moths.

Hanyu gave Nikubo a deep look, and then everything fell silent.

In any case, there are too many people in this room, and the death of the daimyo is a bit dishonorable, and if you want to protect the reputation of the daimyo, then naturally the fewer people present the better, but now, there are too many people to talk about it, and there is no point in keeping it secret......

But such a power struggle was the case, and there was no need for Nikubo to protect the reputation of the dead daimyo.

You know, Nikubo's brother is a daimyo, and his nephew is also a daimyo, and he, although everyone has the same blood and is equally noble, but because he was born a little later, he can only be an ordinary nobleman...... It was supposed to be like this, but now the opportunity has come.

Nikubo looks like he is only in his thirties, the dead daimyo is even younger, and the daimyo has no children, what else is there to say about all this?

"I ...... Let's take a look at the situation of the daimyo first. ”

Hanyu said this, and after Nikubo nodded, he walked to the bed and began to inspect it in a pretended manner.

"The time of death should be around two o'clock in the morning, the daimyo himself was stabbed in the throat, the murderer did not hesitate to shoot, and the person next to him was cut off at the same time, neither of them had any struggle, it can be seen that the murderer's goal is very clear, it is deliberate...... It should have been done by a ninja. ”

The murderer himself was the coroner, and of course he would have included some personal goods in the autopsy report, and it was obvious that the dead ninja and the daimyo had a difference of three to five minutes before and after the time of death, but Hanyu said that they died at the same time.

What does it mean to die at the same time, doesn't it mean that they died in bed at the same time?

"The murderer was very cautious and did not leave any useful clues, and did not even rule out the possibility that an acquaintance committed the crime. This person next to the Daimyo...... What is the identity? ”

After a brief examination, Hanyu stood up, and he came up with some confusing "conclusions...... It's rare for someone as bold as Hanyu to return to the scene of the crime openly, and even he came back with a murder weapon.

As long as someone examined his weapon, and compared it with the daimyo's wounds, it would certainly arouse suspicion. However...... No one would do that to him at all, Hanyu was a ninja and it made sense to carry a knife with him.

What's more, Nikubo-sama is a very good person, and Hanyu's death judgment for the daimyo as a ninja is very authoritative, and more importantly, this conclusion is favorable to Nikubo, so he continued:

"Hanyu-sama, the other deceased is a ninja who is very 'favored' by the Daimyo...... And we also think that the person who did it was a ninja, because no one noticed anything unusual that night, and it wasn't until dawn the next day that anyone noticed the situation. ”

He bit the word favor letter very hard, and the meaning of his words was self-evident...... This man was silently teaming up with Hanyu to put a pot of on the daimyo's head.

The daimyo was really wronged, but the dead could not defend themselves.

And it can't be said that what Nikubo said is false, if the daimyo doesn't trust this ninja, will he let him guard the door of his bedroom? That ninja has clear eyebrows, isn't it more pleasing to the eyes than those Konoha ninjas who put hideous masks on their faces all day long...... It's just that this trust has not reached the point of favor.

Then, Nikubo went on to explain, "Previously, the daimyo didn't know why he sent Konoha's guardian ninja back, and then recruited many wandering ninjas, and now...... The daimyo really paid the price for his credulity and misbelief.

After the death of the Daimyo, a large part of the ninjas he recruited fled, and a small part occupied the main hall of Miyagi, and are now trying to negotiate terms with us. ”

Hanyu smiled wryly, meaning "I'm so unlucky to have encountered this kind of."

He then said, "There was some turmoil at the wedding of the previous three generations of Hokage, which caused the envoys of various countries to be stranded in Konoha, and my team was originally tasked with monitoring the departure of the envoys of Yunyin, and the three generations of Hokage asked me to come to Daimyo Castle on the way back to explain to the daimyo that the envoys of the daimyo died in Konoha and the matter of guarding the twelve ninjas......

Who would have thought that would happen to such a thing? ”

Hanyu seems to be complaining, but in fact he is quietly ruling out his own suspicions and giving a reasonable explanation for his timely appearance.

"Those wandering ninjas...... Is there a suspicion of committing a crime? ”

"I don't know, but the remaining part of the ninjas seem to want to get the mission money that the daimyo agreed with them before leaving." Nikubo said.

The basin can be deducted from the daimyo, but the death of the daimyo is a very serious matter after all, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense about the murderer.

Anyway, it wasn't him Nikubo who did it, and it couldn't have been the Konoha ninja who did it, so wouldn't it be over?

Hanyu frowned, those wandering ninjas who escaped were not very smart, at least they had brains, but those who were left behind were really stupid, they didn't know how serious it was for the daimyo to die, would Konoha ignore it, once Konoha sent ninjas, what were they?

"There are so few traces of the scene that I suspect that the killer didn't even stay in this dormitory for a total of 30 seconds, so ...... There's no point in exposing the body of the Daimyo like this, so let's restrain him. Then, Hanyu leaned into Nikubo's ear and said, "It's a little too ugly, let's cover up the ugliness of the daimyo somewhat." ”

Nikubo nodded and said, "What Hanyu-sama said is, everyone, those who are okay should retreat for the time being, and send someone to collect the body of the Daimyo, and we will definitely investigate the case to the end." ”

Two people who have completely ruined the reputation of the daimyo are now pretentiously trying to protect the reputation of the daimyo, and these two are really funny.

Nikubo seemed to have a lot of authority, and after his words fell, no one objected, and the nobles obediently began to leave.

It is conceivable that a large number of them will not be able to control their mouths, and the news of the death of the daimyo will spread quickly, but compared to "the daimyo was assassinated", the focus of public opinion will be more focused on the strange point of "the daimyo died in bed with a man...... Because the aristocrats' selfishness will always make people talk about it, and the hunting psychology is something that no one can stop.

But such news will only be gossip, and in order to deal with such gossip, the official characterization of the death of the daimyo is most likely to be the death of a "sudden illness" as Hanyu said before, and as for the investigation of the case, it will only be carried out in secret.

And Hanyu was suspicious, so he rushed to the attitude that Hitokubo showed just now, after he succeeded to the position of the Daimyo, would he have the leisure to track down the cause of the death of the previous Daimyo?

It's enough, the daimyo is only his nephew, not his own father.

"Hanyu-sama, what are we going to do next?"

When everyone retreated, the people in Miyagi began to tidy up the daimyo's appearance and collect the body, and Nikubo asked Hanyu again.

"Anyway...... Let's deal with the wandering ninjas who don't know whether they are alive or dead. ”

Hanyu said to catch the back man first...... The killer must not be found, but the wandering ninjas can barely give an account of the incident.
