Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 1059 [Chapter ENDING] 11

Earthwork:? ? ?

What's going on... This is not the same as what was said? !

None of these three words matched what he expected.

He originally thought that if Qingyuan Xueye was still like the last time when she came back without warning, then she would use aliases and other small details to hint at him-he was too slow to discover last time; but this time Once, he had suspicions for a long time, but he couldn't find any favorable evidence.

If she is not Kiyohara Yukiha, her character sometimes seems to be a bit similar to Qingyuan Yukiha - but she seems to be more lively, maybe this civilized era has given her more self-willed (?) confidence?Not to mention that face that was at least [-]% similar to Qingyuan Xueye.

But if she is Qingyuan Xueye - why has it been so long since they met, but she has never made any plans to recognize him?Even in his repeated temptations, he always chooses the wrong answer?For example, now, what a perfect opportunity to use a pseudonym to hint her real identity—but the answer she gave was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his face.

Tufang was still thinking about this question, but the "Miss Quan" on the opposite side - "Quan Xinya" - put his right hand to his mouth and coughed lightly, drawing Tufang's attention back.

Tufang frowned and looked at her, thinking that she would continue to say something along the topic of the name, but who knew that when she opened her mouth, she said something that surprised him.

"As I said just now, my brother has a little friendship with Mr. Rosenberg Jr.... so I also knew Mr. Rosenberg Jr. in advance. Although I am not familiar with him, I also have the experience to intervene in the investigation of this case entrusted by him. Responsibility to work hard," she said.

"So, I asked Mr. Rosenberg Jr. in detail how many samurai/knives there are in their family."

Earthwork:?

Ms. Quan ignored the question mark on his face, and said directly: "Mr. Rosenberg Jr. said that there are a total of seven samurai knives hidden in their house. There are also three displayed in various places in the house."

Earthwork: "...!!"

He was silent for a while, and then he realized what kind of discovery Miss Quan was talking about.

He asked in a deep voice: "...What are the names of these knives? Is it possible to track down the original owner or the knives?"

Miss Quan blinked and smiled.

"As you suspect—" she drawled.

"Among them, there are knives that are more famous than the stolen 'Nagasomi Kotoru'. No matter in terms of historical heritage, original owner, knife craftsmanship, or even price...they all surpass it. There is even a genuine Kotoru, which is After the promulgation of the 'Abandoned Sword Order', the ones they bought directly from the home of a 'formerly high-status samurai' are absolutely genuine."

Hijikata's hands slowly clenched into fists.

"... Is that knife displayed outside?" he asked.

Ms. Quan replied: "Of course. In the living room where the guests are received. Mr. Rosenberg is very proud of his collection, and almost told everyone that he owns a genuine tiger..."

She paused and added: "...and, he also said that when he collected 'Chang Zeng Mi Huche', he already knew that it was a fake tiger. He collected 'Chang Zeng Mi Huche' for The most important thing is its famous former owner..."

Hijikata gritted his teeth, listening to her gentle voice say the familiar name again.

"Director of the Shinsengumi, Isamu Kondo."

Hijikata felt short of breath for a moment.He felt that he should have controlled the body's overreaction well, and didn't let all the blood rush to the top of his head, causing the face to flush unnaturally; but he couldn't control all the details so perfectly, so he still felt There was buzzing in his ears, and he seemed to lose his sense of direction for a moment. He had to close his eyes to stabilize his body so as not to lose the balance of his limbs.

He felt that Miss Quan beside him seemed to be quietly looking at his expression.But he didn't have the strength to look any better.

However, unexpectedly, Miss Quan did not ask him these things, but continued to speak in a straightforward tone:

"Thus, I have a little... bold association."

"Why did Suzuki choose to steal 'Nagasoya Toru' when he knew that there were more expensive samurai/swords in the mansion, and they were also placed within easy reach?"

"If it is said that other knives are inconvenient to sell because of their higher value, I don't believe it - judging from the current situation, it is not convenient to sell any kind of knives. This is not a reliable reason."

Hijikata finally regained some of his original voice with difficulty.He replied hoarsely: "I asked Suzuki a similar question just now. He replied that because he yearned for a 'Tiger'—"

"Impossible." Miss Quan said decisively.

"Looking forward to 'Huche', but only getting fakes?...I don't mean to offend the previous owner of that knife, but it doesn't make sense."

Tufang thought deeply, "Unless—"

Miss Quan explained the next deduction for him.

"Unless, in his eyes, 'Nagasomi Tiger Toru' has a higher value.—That is to say, the added value brought by the 'former master'."

Tufang raised his head suddenly, his eyes were surprisingly bright.

"...Shinsengumi?!" He squeezed out the term that had been dusty for a long time from between his teeth.

Ms. Quan didn't answer his question, she just turned her eyes away and looked at the pedestrian in front of her.

"...To confirm this deduction, just ask Mr. Rosenberg Jr. tonight if his father has mentioned to Suzuki the existence and location of the genuine Tiger Torch." She said quietly .

"Moreover, I think the answer is yes. Suzuki is the servant in charge of cleaning. It is impossible that Mr. Rosenberg has not explained to him the various furnishings in the house, and which ones need extra attention when cleaning..."

Hijikata looked at the direction she was standing in as if fascinated. After a while, he let out a long breath and turned to face the front again.

"...I really don't understand such a simple inference, why it was never mentioned in the original file..." he said.

Miss Quan smiled.

"Because it was a samurai/sword that was stolen," she replied.

"Moreover, it is the favorite knife left by the person who was sentenced for 'rebellion' back then."

She sighed.

"After the 'Abandoned Sword Order', swords have become illegal/forbidden/goods..."

Having said that, she paused suspiciously.

"...The name 'Shinsengumi' is the same."

Earthwork:! ! !

For a moment, he almost couldn't hold back the heat that rolled up in his chest.It was a blazing flame, which had been burning in his chest for a long time, and also hid because of his long dormancy, like a small flame smoldering under the ashes but not extinguished, once there is a certain As soon as it exits, it immediately burns up and rises high into the sky.

He had to mobilize all the strength in his whole body to barely suppress the pain caused by the flames burning his inner bones and blood.Still, he couldn't help letting out a groan.

Miss Quan seemed to be taken aback for a moment.But she didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't even turn her eyes to him in a fussy way.

"One day, they will no longer be bound by the ban..." she said comfortingly.

"But now, let's start with what we can do in front of our eyes."

Earthwork:!

He was shocked by these two words, but quickly calmed down again.

Indeed, Miss Quan's conjecture was not wrong.

After the abolition of swords was issued, the swords that have been the glory of warriors for hundreds of years and regarded as life have become useless.Just like the foreigner who bought the genuine Tiger Torch from the old samurai's home, the majestic sword that used to be majestic and trustworthy has now become a curious display in the foreigner's home.

Therefore, everyone will feel that such a useless thing is lost if it is lost, and there is no need to chase after it.

Moreover, the former owner of the lost knife was also the director of the Shinsengumi who was labeled a "rebel" by the Sa Chang faction who controlled the court.Even if it was later displayed in a foreigner's house, the prestige of that knife is also inseparable from the "Shinsengumi Chief".

Many people avoid the "rebel"...how could they spend time and energy to find the whereabouts of the rebel blade?

After thinking about it, he is the only one who can work hard to find this knife, has enough rights to prolong the investigation process, and can understand the true preciousness of this knife.

This is the magic of fate.

This is what she just said, "things that I can start in front of me".

Rectifying the name of the Shinsengumi is a long process.Even when they won the Southwest War and saw the Satsuma turned into rebels and destroyed, it was only the first step.

Ever since Sacho unleashed the Royal Banner of Nishiki during the Boshin War, Shinsengumi's reputation has been ruined.It is one thing for the Satsuma people to commit suicide later, but the notoriety of the Shinsengumi and the fear of the Shinsengumi that have been deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts by them are not so easy to erase.

Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up slowly, showing a smile for the first time today—and, it was still in front of this difficult "Miss Quan".

"Ah, yes," he replied gruffly.

"There are as many things to do as there are mountains... This is not the time to be in a daze!" He said confidently.

"It doesn't matter how difficult it is...I will prove it to others."

He finished speaking so energetically, but he didn't hear Miss Quan's reply beside him for a long time.

He couldn't help turning his face away, but as soon as his eyes fell on Miss Quan's face, he saw a scene that was astonishing and puzzling——

Miss Quan also curled her lips and smiled.

Moreover, she was staring straight ahead without even turning her head to look at him.

However, even looking at her side face, he could see that there seemed to be a layer of suspicious and bright water floating in her eye sockets.

Earthwork: "..."

"Ah, what's going on here? Why are you crying?" Feeling a sense of embarrassment for no reason, he muttered in a low voice, subconsciously fumbling around in his pocket, and finally pulled out a crumpled handkerchief.

Tufang stared at the poor-looking handkerchief, wondering if he should pass it to Miss Quan.

It had been several years since he left the hermitage and returned to normal life.He still knows some basic new etiquette nowadays.

For example, it doesn't matter if a majestic man didn't care about the weak performance of women before.No one would say anything even if they started to fight against the crime and left here immediately.

But after the civilization became more civilized, although women's tears were annoying, if they were left alone, it would be a little rude... Even a symbolic greeting was considered a courtesy.

However, if he wanted to greet Miss Quan with kind words, it would be better to just give her a handkerchief and let her wipe her face clean.After all, the thick color painted in the corner of her eyes seems to be melted by tears——

Hijikata stared at the teardrop dangerously hanging in the corner of Miss Quan's eye with a horrible face.That teardrop reflected the dark color painted on the corner of Miss Quan's eyes with some unknown paint (?), and Tufang couldn't help but wonder, if it was left alone, would it be directly on Miss Quan when it flowed down the next moment? Draw a crooked black line on his cheek...?

In the next moment, Miss Quan laughed softly, and took the handkerchief wrinkled like pickles from his hand, and tucked it in the corner of her eyes.

Earthwork: "..."

There was a big black spot on the handkerchief.

Although his handkerchief was wrinkled ugly, it was actually washed and never used.I just kept it in my pocket all day, and for some reason it turned into this messy shape.

But now... he couldn't make up his mind whether to take the handkerchief back.He wanted to tell Miss Quan to just throw away the handkerchief, but he also wondered if this delicate and sensitive young lady would be paranoid because of this.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Miss Quan folded the soiled handkerchief and stuffed it into the small bag in her hand as if nothing had happened.

"I'm sorry for getting dirty. I'll return it to you next time after I wash it." She said lightly, and finally turned to look at him.Those watery black eyes stared at him, as if there was some kind of strange light floating in her eyes.

"What you said just now is really wonderful... I was inexplicably moved when I heard it," she said.

The earthwork felt inexplicably embarrassed.

"Ah... Really, really that good? I'm just speaking from my heart..." He answered curtly and gruffly.

Miss Quan narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"It's good," she said.

"Excellent."

The author has something to say:

February 12:

I don't have enough brain capacity... so the process of investigating the case is very simple, basically it's a no-brainer [Hey!

It's mainly to exaggerate the atmosphere that the deputy chief and the girl are doing the task together again www

And I want to prove that no matter how the time and the situation change, the best partner for the deputy chief is a girl hhh

By the way, the girl was moved because the vice-captain had said similar things in Shinsengumi before

So she felt that even though time had passed for so long, the person standing in front of her would always be the former deputy chief【.

Next update: before tomorrow night yo hhh
