Chongwen looked up at Sayuri, the female dancer hung her head silently, and he asked, "What did you do when you got a confession?"

Sayuri whispered: "I know this person is just a ronin, I won't know too much, and that team leader is the key." I pretended to care about the lives of the bad gamblers and promised to cooperate with them, but I could only meet with the team leader and ask him to come to the flower world to see me. He said that it was impossible for the team leader to come, it was too dangerous, and if I was really sincere, I would go to Mishimaya to meet the team leader.

In order to catch the team leader, I agreed, and I went to Mishimaya with him alone that day. For fear that he would be suspicious, I didn't arrange for the people from the flower world to follow, I let the two Haigang leaders, Chen Huojiao and Xiao Ji follow. We went all the way to a house in Yamanaka Town, and when I went in, our people surrounded Mishimaya. ”

Chongwen suddenly stopped Sayuri and shouted to someone to come, and Birch Mountain Yoshimasa pushed the door in, and Chongwen asked him to invite Chen Huoyao and Xiao Jiluo to wait for him to ask. When Kayama Yoshimasa went out, Chongwen motioned for Sayuri to continue.

Sayuri continued: "When I entered the house, I saw that the rotten gambler was tied up with five flowers and lost one of his hands, so I pretended to cry and scolded them before they asked them to ask the team leader. But they couldn't find it, so they could only wait for the team leader to come to the door by himself, and I got up and pretended to leave, but the guys refused to let me go, and they were making noise, and the team leader pushed the door and came in. ”

Chongwen asked, "How does this person look like and what are his characteristics?"

Sayuri said: "This man looks like he is in his 30s, although he wears a merchant's honda bun, but when he looks like a samurai, his eyes bulge outward, and he is more white and less black, like a fish's eye." ”

Chongwen nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Sayuri continued: "I asked who sent them here and what they were going to do, but the samurai didn't answer, but just asked me about the East China Sea Merchant Troupe. I don't tell the truth, and it's hard to get out his truth, so I don't hide it, I tell the truth. At that time, I made up my mind that I would never let them leave Hirado in their lives, and I would treat it as a good thing to say to the dead. ”

Chongwen asked, "Did they ask me where I went?"

Sayuri hesitated for a moment, bowed her head and said, "I asked, I also told the truth that the lord went to Yamaguchi Castle, and later learned that the lord was assassinated in Yamaguchi, and I was scared... But at that time, the people in the house were all dead, and even if they knew the whereabouts of the lord, it would be impossible for them to pass on the news, and I couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. ”

Chongwen frowned, he couldn't say that Sayuri did something wrong, a woman's family, for him to go to sea and be born and die, what she did was not suspicious, even if she couldn't do better, but how did the news leak out?

He asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who their master is?"

Sayuri shook her head and said, "That samurai has a very tight mouth, and he won't take the bait if I do everything I can." I got anxious and stabbed the rotten gambler, and the guy screamed so much that I ran desperately to the back door while they were in a daze. Outside, Chen Huoyao and Xiao Jiluo rushed in with people, and immediately fought.

Everything was going too fast, and I yelled desperately, stay alive, don't kill the samurai. But the warrior was very valiant, drew his sword to resist, and also slashed two of our men, Chen Huojiao sent his temper, and cut off the guy's arm with one sword, and the blood sprayed wildly, and he couldn't see that he could not live. ”

Chongwen sighed: "That is, everyone died on the spot?"

Sayuri said: "At that time, the rotten gambler was still alive, but he fainted in fright, and I was angry and ordered him to be chopped into meat sauce... Everyone else has been checked, but nothing has survived. ”

Chongwen asked: "Afterwards, the room, the clothes, there are always things that can show their identity, who sent them?" ”

Sayuri said: "We searched the room carefully, and all the clothes were turned over, and the samurai was very fine, and he didn't show any flaws, so I couldn't judge the master behind him." ”

Chongwen was silent, and he suddenly thought of a detail, that is, the period after Sayuri arrived in the house. There were people at other times, but this time she was alone, and no one knew what she said to the Kyoto samurai, and everyone who knew what she said was dead.

Her act of killing the old friend of the bad gambler is incomprehensible, and her explanation certainly makes sense, but isn't that too ruthless? Even if a normal person has no feelings for the old man, he will not kill people to vent his anger, and if he is afraid that he will leak the news, he will be detained. Therefore, another explanation also makes sense, that is, killing people to kill people.

No, no, no, not everyone in the house was dead at that time, but Sayuri was still alive. If Sayuri is a stake of a hostile force, the samurai will tell Sayuri the contact information, and Sayuri may send the news to the person who should know.

After a long time, he changed the subject and asked, "How is that blind old masseuse?"

Sayuri said: "I haven't seen anything yet, in order to take care of his daily life, I specially arranged a small servant for him, and his every move is under surveillance." ”

Chongwen shook his head and said, "There are dozens of guests in the bathroom of the Flower World every day, and it is not easy to keep an eye on everyone. ”

Sayuri said: "In addition to the general soldier, there are 8 people who often ask him for massage, I have checked, and in recent months, there are 2 in Hirado, all staring at it." ”

Chongwen said: "Keep staring, don't relax." ”

Sayuri bowed and replied, "Yes." ”

Chongwen put on a smiling face and began to talk about some light-hearted topics: "I let the catfish boy be in charge of the flower world, not because I don't trust you, most of the people who come here are rude men, you are a woman's family, and it is inconvenient to show up after all." You are still in charge of so many detailed works, how can you be busy?

Catfish Boy has been following me for almost a year, born and died, and the people who can live until now are human spirits, don't despise him. When I am away, you should discuss with him more if there is something, and don't get into trouble and delay big things. If he insults you, tell me and I'll clean him up. ”

Sayuri was grateful and said: "The lord is the lord of great benevolence and righteousness, and the concubine will never dare to complain, and she will definitely obey Lord Catfish." ”

Chongwen gave a few words of encouragement and let Sayuri retreat.

When the trick walked to the door, Chongwen suddenly asked behind his back, "Think about it carefully, is there anything strange in the house where you killed people?" ”

Sayuri stopped, put her hand on the doorknob, frowned and thought for a while, then turned around and said, "It's just an ordinary Yakuni Yashiki, there is nothing unusual, we have pried every inch of the floor and wall open, and there is nothing." ”

Chongwen waved his hand and said, "Got it, step down." ”

Sayuri seemed to suddenly remember something, she hesitated and said, "There is a strange thing, there is a very beautiful bird in the house, I like it very much, I want to catch the bird and bring it back to raise, but the bird flew away." ”

Chongwen's heart moved, and he asked, "What kind of bird is it?"

Sayuri's eyes lit up and said: "It's about the size of a magpie, the snow-white feathers don't have a single miscellaneous hair, there is a crown on the head, a hooked beak, and a short tail, it seems that there is no such bird in the country." When the lord asked, I suddenly thought that this matter was a little strange, there are three vulgar ronins living in the house, and there are no female dependents, what are you doing with this thing?"

Chongwen took a breath in his mouth, and his mind spun quickly, this thing was indeed a little weird. He asked, "Isn't it a pigeon?"

Sayuri smiled: "The pigeon concubine knows herself, and there is no such big pigeon in the world." ”

Chongwen used to be the son of Dakang, and he hadn't seen any rare birds and beasts, but he couldn't remember what kind of bird it was. The country is not rich in products, and there is no tribute from all directions, this kind of bird must be very rare, it is by no means owned by ronins, nor is it owned by ordinary samurai, and those who have this kind of bird will not be ordinary people.

But for no reason, what does it mean to raise this in the place where the ticket is kidnapped? If it is a flying pigeon, it can pass on the news, it seems that it is not, what is the purpose of it? He was puzzled, but he vaguely felt that this white bird was the key to solving all the mysteries. For a moment, those albatross that covered the sea and the sun flashed in his mind, and he will never forget that fight.

After a long time, Chongwen waved his hand and signaled Sayuri to retreat.

He sat alone in his chair and relived Sayuri's action, figuring out every detail. He still can't completely dispel his suspicions about Sayuri, the assassination of Yamaguchi Castle, the casualness of killing the rotten gambler, it seems that Sayuri has suspicions in him, and he has never felt this way in someone he trusts.

After a stick of incense, Huashan Yoshimasa entered the study and reported that Chen Huoyao and Xiao Jirotan had arrived, and Chongwen used a word to ask the two Xiaohai Gang to come in.

The two were dark-skinned, squinted eyes, and walked with a swaying walk, with some duck steps. At first glance, they look like sea runners, they have been walking on the rickety deck for many years, and it turns out that they are also in the habit of being on land.

Chen Huo burned a big cake face, and Xiao Ji was a little dysentery, which is probably the origin of their nickname.

Chongwen politely invited them to sit down, Hanako served tea, and the two little pirates were a little nervous when they saw the big man of Dragon King Island for the first time, half of their butts were next to the chair, they didn't dare to sit down, and they seemed to be about to kneel down at any time.

Chongwen joked with them, dispelled their nervousness, and began to interrogate the details of the operation. Especially after Sayuri entered the house, their location, how far away from the house, and what they heard.

There is also the situation of rushing into the house to arrest, whether Sayuri shouted to stay alive, Chen Huojiao said that the blood was on the head at that time, and the swords and swords killed in the house could not hear anything. Xiao Ji was more delicate, saying that he heard Sayuri shouting to leave the warrior, and he wanted to hold Chen Huojiao but didn't hold it, so that this guy could be killed with a knife.

Then there is the details of Sayuri's order to kill the bad gambler, what she said, her expression, her gestures, whether there is anything abnormal. Then there is the search situation, where Sayuri was when they searched the house and what they said.

Chongwen was very careful, he couldn't let the two little pirates realize his suspicion of Sayuri, and naturally encouraged them to recall as many details as possible, and the tension between the two slowly dissipated, and the stuttering became smart. Finally he asked about the white bird, and both of them said that they had seen the bird, and that they had indeed seen Sayuri chase the white bird outside.

Chongwen finally ended the questioning, and finally said: "You have done a good job, you are brothers with the dead and dead, and in the future, even if you are from Dragon King Island, you will still be dispatched by Sayuri." But for the convenience of doing things in the future, you try not to appear in the flower world, if you need silver taels to do errands, find catfish larvae to withdraw. ”
