Chapter 261

When Nanami Hashimoto rushed back to Katsushika Shibata with Akimaru and Kujin with Akimaru and Kuji, it was still quiet and peaceful, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's good that the place where I hid the sword was not leaked, otherwise things would have been in trouble!" Tora Chiyo patted his impressive chest and calmed down his panting from running. Even if it was a youkai, he was still a little out of breath when he ran all the way over, but after confirming that there was no problem with the two swords he hid, Tora Chiyo still let go of his worries.

Although Nanami Hashimoto still felt that this matter was not so simple, the normal scene in front of her still made her dispel her concerns, maybe she was just overhearted, right? Nana Hashimoto thought so, and then said to Ah Yin: "Brother Ah Yin, is Yin House open today?" I'm a little tired from rushing all the way here, and I want to eat your grass dumplings in Yinya, and take a break by the way. ”

"It's too easy for Miss Hashimoto to eat grass dumplings, and Inya's house is open for business today, even if it doesn't open, if Miss Hashimoto wants to eat grass dumplings, you can ask Aunt Sakura to make it for you." Hearing that Nana Hashimoto didn't want to go to Yinya to eat grass dumplings, A-Yin immediately said to her enthusiastically.

Injiro on the side also helped his son on the side, and said, "Yes, Miss Hashimoto, if you want to eat grass dumplings, there is no problem at any time!" My sister's craftsmanship is the best in the whole firewood, and you can eat any kind of grass dumplings you want! At the mention of his sister, Injiro's tone was full of pride.

Seeing Injiro say this, Nanami Hashimoto had no choice but to chuckle, nodded, and walked into the Inya under the warm greeting of Ah Yin and Injiro, as well as the somewhat helpless eyes of Tiger Chiyo.

Before Nanami Hashimoto could sit down, Injiro had already begun to shout for his sister, and Ah Yin quickly poured tea for Nanami Hashimoto, Akiyumaru and Kujin and brought the menu.

"Brother Ayin, your actions in entertaining guests are becoming more and more proficient!" After Nana Hashimoto didn't praise him, he handed the menu to Qiuyumaru: "Qiuyumaru, let's see what you want to eat, this grass dumpling is very good!" ”

Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's words, Qiu Yumaru's eyes were obviously looking forward to it, and after a lapse of five hundred years, he came out to eat with Nanami Hashimoto again, no matter what he ate, in Qiu Yumaru's opinion, it would be delicious.

——————————————————————

While Nanami Hashimoto and his party were eating grass dumplings in Inya, Senya and Wakadie came to the headquarters of the countermeasures room under the leadership of Officer Sato.

Originally, the countermeasures room occupied one floor of the headquarters of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as its own office, but the riots caused by Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto crossing Tokyo during the Hyakki Night Walk to exterminate the Huangquan Sect made the government decide to expand the countermeasure room, separating it from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and turning it into a new independent department, so the office of the countermeasure room was also moved from the original headquarters of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and moved to a military base.

Because it was a new move, the office of the countermeasures room was busy and cluttered at this time, with all kinds of documents and materials piled up haphazardly, and several civilian female police officers were constantly sorting out these materials and documents. It seems that due to the theft of the evidence room, the atmosphere in the office of the strategy room is heavy and oppressive, and everyone is doing their work in silence, except for the occasional sound of answering the phone, no one is talking or talking.

It seems that due to the atmosphere in the office, Officer Sato, who had been briefing the situation along the way, also fell silent, but after walking into a conference room with Chiya and Wakadie, he turned around and left to inform the Twilight Police.

"It seems that everyone in the strategy room is very nervous about the theft. When I first came in, it seemed that everyone was secretly watching about it. It seems that the atmosphere is too oppressive, Ruodie takes the initiative to talk to Qianye, wanting to dilute the dull atmosphere a little.

"After all, if it is an important evidence room, or an insider who committed a crime, and if such a major incident is not handled well, I am afraid that not only the countermeasure room, but even the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the police throughout Japan will lose face, so they can't afford not to pay attention to it." The corners of Qianye's mouth curled, and after shaking his head slightly, there was a slight mockery in his tone, obviously he was very dissatisfied with the loss of Susanoo's idol.

"What do you think about this, master? Is it the remnants of the Yellow Springs Sect who want to recapture the idol of Susanoo, or is it the conspiracy of the nine-tailed fox? I think it's probably a conspiracy of the nine-tailed fox, but I don't want her to do it. Remembering that Tora Chiyo mentioned earlier that she went to steal the two swords on the statue of Susanoo because she was tempted by the former doppelganger of Tamamo, Ruodie naturally thought that this incident might be the conspiracy of the nine-tailed fox again.

Qianye pondered for a moment, not affirming Ruodie's speculation, but also did not deny it, just shook his head slightly and said ambiguously: "Even I can't be sure about this matter, maybe as you said, this is a conspiracy of the nine-tailed fox, but it is also very likely that the remnants of the Huangquan Sect are unwilling to give up and want to recapture the statue of Susanoo." Until there is conclusive evidence, the matter cannot be conclusively determined. ”

"In this case, if you can't even make a judgment, master, this matter seems to be very tricky!" Ruodie seemed thoughtful, sighed and then stopped talking.

At this time, Officer Sato, who had left, walked in with the Twilight Police and Hauka Domimon, and after the three of them came in, Officer Sato, who was walking last, looked back before carefully closing the door of the conference room, as if he was afraid of overheard.

Seeing that the three people in the countermeasure room put on such an attitude, Qianye frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, just bowed his head slightly towards the twilight police eye, which was regarded as a greeting.

Twilight didn't care about Qianye's attitude, and after greeting Qianye, he sat down directly and said to him: "I'm really embarrassed to have Mr. Lao Qianye coming, the matter is urgent, so I won't be polite." While Twilight was talking to Chiya, Haruka Tsuchigomon, who was on the side, also put the dossier in her hand in front of Chiya.

"I guess Sato has already introduced it to Mr. Chiba before, after the Nine-Tails Group exterminated the Yellow Springs Sect, the statue of Susanoo that was originally enshrined by the cultists of the Yellow Springs Sect was seized when our countermeasures room cleared the headquarters of the Yellow Springs Sect, and it was originally stored in the evidence room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, but recently because our countermeasures room needed to be moved from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to this base, the handover was chaotic for a while, and the remnants of the Yellow Springs Sect took the opportunity to steal the statue." When the Twilight Police mentioned this incident, the expression on his face was very indignant, and he was seriously dissatisfied that there were followers of the Huangquan Sect in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Qianye was not surprised by this, and responded to the words of the twilight alarm while looking through the file: "The Huangquan Sect is secretive and well-organized, and the way of preaching is spread through spells and brainwashing, if it weren't for the Nine-Tails Group directly exterminating their headquarters, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with the Huangquan Sect." The Yellow Springs Sect has infiltrated all aspects of Tokyo before, and even the Imperial Family has commissioned me to investigate this cult, although their headquarters has been exterminated, there are still remnants of their sins in Tokyo, and I don't think it's strange what happened to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. ”

"Mr. Chiba seems to know a lot about the Huangquan Sect?" Haruka Tsuchigomon on the side couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard Qianye's words.

"I don't know much about it, it's just that I was entrusted by Prince Fumihito to investigate them before." After reading the file, he closed it, put his hands on his chin, and asked the Twilight Police Inspector thoughtfully: "The file shows that the suspect himself is the guard of the evidence room, and he took advantage of the change of shift to forge the documents for extracting the evidence, extracted the statue of Susanoo from the evidence room, and then transported it out of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters without realizing it. I don't think it's surprising that a suspect was able to forge documents to get the statue out of the evidence room, and it's easy for an insider to do that, but it's a bit unusual to want to smuggle it out of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in full view. ”

"Yes, that's what we're puzzled about, such a big statue of a god is not a small thing, how did he unknowingly transport things out of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters? Is it true that everyone is blind, and no one has seen him go out with something so big? Even if we retrieved all the surveillance records, we didn't find out how the suspect transported the things out. What's even more strange is that the suspect himself is the guard of the evidence room, but it wasn't until the next day when the shift changed that someone noticed that the other person was missing, which is simply incredible. The Twilight Police were also apparently puzzled by the criminal's modus operandi.

Twilight's words immediately attracted Ruodie's attention, and she seemed to think of something, and whispered to Qianye, "Master, how does this technique look so similar to the method used by Tiger Chiyo to steal those two swords......

"It does look like a similar approach." Qianye nodded, feeling the same way about Ruodie's judgment of him: "But if it's her conspiracy, why didn't she wait until the Huangquan Sect headquarters was wiped out before she came to seize this statue, instead of stealing it along with the two swords ten years ago?" With her strength, it doesn't seem to be difficult to do that. Why wait until ten years from now......"

Looking at the inquiring eyes of the Twilight Police on the side, Qianye didn't explain, but just shook his head and asked the Twilight Police, "Officer Twilight, how do you judge that the prisoner is a remnant of the Huangquan Sect?" Is there any evidence for this? It seems that there is no evidence directly from the file that directly indicates that this prisoner is a remnant of the Yellow Springs Sect, on what basis did you make this judgment? ”

Seeing Qianye's question, the Twilight Police hurriedly explained: "This point is based on the suspect's motive for committing the crime and the relevant physical evidence found from his home. Moreover, we also questioned the suspect's colleagues, and according to their evidence, the suspect had participated in the sacrifice activities of the Huangquan Sect, so we judged that he was a latent remnant of the Huangquan Sect. ”

"Is that so? Why is there always a feeling that all this is deliberately faked...... "After listening to the introduction of the Dusk Police, Qianye not only did not solve his doubts, but fell into contemplation, although all the clues in front of him were not flawed, but they made Qianye always feel a little false, as if everything was deliberately made to guide the investigator's attention to the remnants of the Huangquan Sect.

Letting go of the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Qianye shook his head and said to the twilight police: "I don't have a clue about this matter now, although all the clues point to the Huangquan Sect, but I always feel that there is something else hidden here, but there is no evidence to support my speculation at the moment, so I'm afraid this matter won't help much." ”

"Then Mr. Chiba, can you find the location of the suspect or directly find the statue of Susanoo as you did last time you searched for that Gu Yu bird?" Officer Sato, who was on the side, suddenly asked with anticipation in his eyes.

In response to Officer Sato's question, Chiya frowned and explained to him: "If you want to find the existence of a thing or find someone, you must have something related to it to be able to interrogate, that statue has the divine power of Susanoo, even I can't figure out where it is, as for the suspect, if you have something that he has close to him or something that he uses a lot, I might be able to give it a try." ”

"Then Mr. Chiba, wait a minute, I'll prepare!" Officer Sato said, and without waiting for the Twilight Officer to speak, he stood up and left the conference room quickly, causing the Twilight Officer to frown.

After shaking his head helplessly, Twilight was about to apologize to Chiya, but a ringtone on his mobile phone interrupted Twilight's words as he was about to speak.

Ruodie on the side immediately gave an apologetic look, then took out her mobile phone from her body and looked at it, and immediately handed it to Qianye: "Master, it's Miss Hashimoto." ”

Qianye took the phone, and after saying sorry to the Twilight Police, she stood up and walked to the side to answer the phone: "Nanamin? Why did you call me all of a sudden, is there something wrong with you? ”

"Chiya, no, the two swords that Tiger Chiyo hid were stolen!" On the phone, Nanami Hashimoto's voice was very anxious, explaining the situation to Chiya and asking him what to do: "Originally, the sword was not lost, but when we went to the Yin house of Ah Yin's house to rest, someone took the opportunity to steal those two swords, what should we do now?" ”

"Nanamin, don't panic yet, stay there and wait for me, I'll rush over immediately!" After Qianye finished speaking, she hung up the phone and looked at the Dusk Police: "Officer Dusk, it seems that we guessed wrong, the prisoner may not be the remnant of the Huangquan Sect." ”
