Chapter 272: An Accident at the Festival
Frightened voices crossed the night sky, the beautiful summer night was silent, the cheerful noise was no longer visible, and in the crowd, a shogunate soldier in armor was lying calmly on the ground, if it weren't for the fact that his chest had no heaviness, at this time Jing Ying felt that an artist with ideals and revenge should be able to paint a painting with a deep meaning.
"Protect the site!"
One of the older-looking shogunate soldiers yelled, and the remaining four shogunate soldiers who were patrolling with the dead shogunate soldiers immediately drew their swords from their waists, and they kept their companions' bodies behind them while staring around vigilantly, trying to find the suspicious person.
However, there were so many people who came to today's festival, and all kinds of forces were mixed, and the black, white, and gray forces all had their own purposes, not to mention that many of the people who came to the festival were rich ladies who had only come to the festival after receiving the news that the Liyue ambassador would be coming.
This team of shogunate soldiers who originally came to patrol here to prevent these rich ladies from being in danger now can't see who has a problem at all, and even if they can see that there are suspicious people, they can't do anything about it if there are some rich ladies around, and if that person kidnaps the daughter of a family, then the family behind it has a hundred ways to make them disappear in Inazuma.
Therefore, for various reasons, the remaining five shogunate soldiers could only do the job of protecting the scene, and as for preventing the onlookers from leaving and surrounding, they did not have the courage to do so.
In the crowd of onlookers, Toma's unsightly face, who had eaten five bowls of udon, was even worse now, and the death of a person at a festival was a big deal in Inazuma, not to mention that it was a shogunate soldier who was enshrined by Tenryo.
No, he had to tell the head of the family the news quickly, thinking that the organizer of this festival was the shrine, Thoma, who smelled the smell of conspiracy, immediately withdrew and prepared to leave the festival and go to Kamisato Yashiki.
Having worked in the Kamisato family for so many years, Thoma has a very good understanding of the relationship between the various forces of Inazuma, and if the person who led the priest died at the festival held by the shrine today, Thoma suspects that the chance of this being an accident is very small, if not impossible.
And if the accident is ruled out, then there is only one reason left for the conspiracy of the Kujo family, knowing that the Kujo family has always wanted to bring down the wolf ambitions of the Kamisato family, Thoma silently accelerated the pace of leaving the festival, as for the plan that Kamisato Ayaka asked him to implement, Thoma can only say sorry, as the housekeeper of the Kamisato family, he must focus on the overall situation at this time.
Just as Thoma was moving quickly in the direction of Kamisato Yashiki, Kujou Sara, who was patrolling nearby, also rushed to the scene as soon as he received the news, and unlike several shogunate soldiers who were worried about the scene, Kujou Sara immediately snorted coldly the moment he arrived at the scene.
"No one is allowed to leave my line of sight."
As soon as these words came out, the children of the family who were watching the excitement around all started to talk, but no one dared to leave, because the children of the family who had dealt with Kujou Sara knew that the adopted daughter of the Kujou family in front of her was a person who spoke the same thing, and no one dared to touch her moldy head at this time.
Kujou Sara didn't care about the people around her and turned her head to look at the shogunate soldiers who were protecting the scene, but after seeing that these shogunate soldiers shook their heads and said that they didn't know what was going on, Kujou Sara frowned without worrying, and now it was troublesome.
Worried, Kujou Sara looks around at the people around her, and finally she turns her attention to Ying and Paimon, who are sucking udon noodles and looking hilarious.
"Traveler, do you know what's going on here?"
Compared to the pampered children of the well-pampered families around him, Kujou Sara trusted the judgment of the traveler, who had some combat experience in Mondstadt and Liyue, and might really be able to see something.
"Me? I don't know. ”
Hearing Kujou Sara calling her name, Ying was stunned when she was sucking udon, and then said that she didn't know anything, of course, this wasn't Ying deliberately hiding anything, she really didn't know anything when she came here just now.
Seeing that the confusion on Ying's face didn't look like a fake, Kujou Sara had a headache, it seemed that this matter was more complicated than imagined, a soldier of the Heavenly Leader suddenly died at the festival, the chance of an accident was too small and too small, so was it the rebels who were demonstrating or her father-in-law ordered it.
No, it shouldn't have been instructed by her stepfather, Kujou Sara erased this idea, she also talked to her stepfather today, and her stepfather made it clear that he would not make small moves at this festival, after all, today's festival is full of family children, even the Kujou family will not offend so many families at once.
Thinking about it like this, only the protests of the rebels remained, but that's not right, even if the rebels infiltrated Inazuma Castle, they wouldn't do this kind of thing to expose their identities, and those guys were still waiting for the forces in Inazuma Castle to send them food, could it be that the enemy killed them? With some thoughts in mind, Kujou Sara asked a few of the shogunate soldiers around him.
"What did you do while you were on patrol?"
"General Kujo, that...
"Tell me honestly, otherwise..."
Staring at the shogunate soldiers in front of him, Kujou Sara's face began to become unkind, if the ban will come to the festival to play this news Kujou Sara knows, originally Kujou Sara also wanted to rely on this festival to make Inazuma's impression in Wakaban's heart a little better, but this happened.
"Back to General Kujo, we bought some food to eat while we were on patrol...
"Hmph, control all the stalls you have been to and wait for the Heavenly Leader to carry it out, and I will interrogate it myself."
Hearing the answers of these shogunate soldiers, Kujou Sara snorted coldly and left here, this kind of clueless case she can only start with the person with the biggest suspect first.
Not far from the festival, Kamisato Ayaka and Wakaban, who saw what was happening in the festival, stopped one after another, both of them couldn't believe that such a thing could happen in such a place.
"Ayaka, it seems that we won't be able to visit today's festival."
Looking at the vendors who were controlled by the shogunate soldiers, Ruoban has some regrets, the customs of foreign countries, Ruoban still wants to feel it, but unfortunately, the timing may be a little unlucky, not only can the festival not catch up today, but even Yoimiya's fireworks display may not be able to be seen.
"If you don't dislike it, you can go and have a cup of tea with me, our Kamisato family's wooden leak tea room has a lot of good tea."
Seeing that her plan was ruined, the unwilling Kamisato Ayaka had an idea and directly invited Ruoban to drink tea, and in the territory of their Kamisato family in the wooden leakage tea room, she didn't believe that anyone would break in.
And Ruoban, who was idle, looked at Kamisato Ayaka, a beautiful girl, looking at him with expectant eyes, and Ruoban, who couldn't stand it, had to nod and agree.
