Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 1064 [Chapter ENDING] 16

This time, even though the room was dimly lit, Liu Quan could clearly see that the deputy chief's back, which was always straight even when he was kneeling, was deeply bent.

He snatched the file as soon as he grabbed it, but he didn't open it immediately, but put his hands on his knees, as if pouring all the strength of his body into his arms; He took off his jacket because of the sultry heat. At this moment, because of the strength of his arms, his butterfly bones protruded deeply, as if he was about to tear the western-style vest and shirt on his body.

Finally, Liu Quan couldn't bear it any longer, and with a sad look on his face, he called out, "Mr. Naito..."

However, it seemed that Tufang didn't hear her call.He just kept that posture with his upper body leaning forward slightly, and the air was filled with silence and anger emanating from him.

"...Murder case?! Unsolved?!" His voice seemed to be wrung from the depths of his body.

Liu Quan knew his pain.

Unlike Director Soma who joined the Shinsengumi in the second half of the third year of Keio, Yasuto Saisuke was an old subordinate who followed Hijikata almost from the beginning to Hakodate.He was also promoted all the way from the equestrian teacher to the deputy head of the Shinsengumi when he was in Hakodate-that is, to succeed Hijikata.

Even on that fateful last day, he followed Hijikata for a while, so when Liu Quan saw Hijikata coming alone in the woods outside the gate of Ipponki, he thought about following him. Where did Saisuke Yasuo and others go, did they go to support Benten Odaiba first--

Such a brave and loyal old subordinate who followed him for so long died in vain because of an unexplained murder, and so far, he didn't even know who the murderer was...

Liu Quan understands that for the deputy chief, the death of Soma and the death of An Fu are two completely different kinds of pain.

Although the final conclusion is very vague, but for Soma, his seppuku was sacrificed for righteousness; but for An Fu, his death was the result of an innocent assassination.

For the deputy chief, when he saw the case file of Soma's death, his grief was that Soma joined the team at the most difficult moment of the Shinsengumi. He has been bearing the pressure and pain of the retreat of the shogunate army; in the end, even the heavy responsibility of surrender and the severe punishment that followed were all shouldered by Soma, and such a person finally died. He was martyred by seppuku when he regained his personal freedom and could live in peace——

But now, when the deputy chief heard the news of An Fu's death, his grief was that such a loyal old subordinate who had followed him for many years had passed through a life together, no matter how turbulent or difficult it was; , just when everything was calm and he could start his life again, he was assassinated for no apparent reason, and the murderer was still at large for so many years...

Liu Quan said softly: "An Fu-kun was granted an amnesty in the fourth year of Meiji and returned to Tokyo. Not long after that, he was assassinated... The murderer is unknown, but based on the scene at the time, it can be roughly inferred that it is not like an ordinary murder. Motives such as killing money..."

The earth side did not speak.His nasal voice resounded so heavy and heavy that it sounded like an old broken bellows.

Liu Quan glanced at him quickly.

"...However, according to a strange testimony at the time, before An Fujun was killed, there was a person who often appeared in that area. And because he was not a local resident, the owner of the tea house who provided this testimony was impressed by him... ..."

Hijikata's breathing seemed to be a little heavier, as if trying to fight against the grief and indignation in his heart.

Liu Quan took a deep breath, and dropped her last big bomb today.

"...Some people suspect that that person is the remaining party of the Royal Tomb Guard, Abe Juro."

Tufang suddenly raised his head and stared at her, his eyes were frighteningly bright for a moment.

His pupils seemed to be burning with raging flames, as if he had completely forgotten that he should maintain the persona of "apprentice judge, special investigator Katsuto Naito" now.The soul of Oni's deputy chief of the Shinsengumi back then seemed to penetrate his body in an instant, occupying his body.

"Guardian of the Imperial Tomb, Abe... Juro?!" He gritted his teeth and pronounced the name syllable by syllable, his voice sounded rough and horrible as if it had been polished by sandpaper.

Liu Quan sighed heavily in his heart.

The old case query service provided by System Bacteria is very reliable, but this case has no record in the real world at all.In view of the fact that the query engine of the system bacteria can even go back to the case file of an earlier period-as long as the case file has been kept until its original age, it will be entered into the database; however, there is no record of this case in the massive archives.

When the system bacteria notified Liu Quan of the result, Liu Quan was worried about a fact—that is, the reason why this case has come up now is because in this world, the deputy chief has lived until now; so The butterfly wings brought about by this fact not only support the main frame of the world, but also bring changes to other details that are usually not noticed at all.

In other words, this case will only appear if the deputy chief is alive to the present—what does this mean?

Liu Quan really hoped that he was worrying unfoundedly.But she hates this kind of variable with no set result.

Originally, she used a little trick to forcefully join this investigation just to get close to the deputy chief; but when the unexpected result was notified to her by the system bacteria, she suddenly became 12 points vigilant.

What's more, System Bacteria's service is very thoughtful - when it replied to Liu Quan that "there is no such case", it also thoughtfully attached the case files and records related to Mr. "I also searched for the murder records related to the old members of the Shinsengumi for your reference, and it should be regarded as free compensation after no such case is found."

However, Liu Quan only thought of one sentence——

If you have nothing to show gallantry, you can either rape or steal [No

System Bacteria is not a charitable person, and it is not its fault that no case was found.It additionally attached the records of these two cases, the most likely explanation is——

What is it also suspicious of?Remind her to pay attention to the methods and brutality of Yudang, the guard of the Imperial Tomb? !

In a sense, the operation method of the system bacteria is actually somewhat similar to that of the government of the time.Even if they find a problem with a certain subworld—whether it’s a fan subworld or a certain historical node—they can’t intervene directly, and they can’t even investigate the problem thoroughly; so what they can finally do is dispatch Competent subordinates—whether players, judges, or swordsmen—go to the place for repairs.The help they can give is at best to give some vague and vague clues to these task performers who are out in battle.

For the mission executors who were sent out, the information they received was extremely limited. It was impossible to know what kind of problem happened, and it was impossible to know what happened or who had the problem.They can only search and investigate in the same way—but now, although there is no definite evidence, Liu Quan's intuition tells herself that she doesn't have so much time to investigate slowly—

"...Since you have thought of the breakthrough of 'Remnant Party of Royal Tomb Guards', then we might as well start from here." She heard her voice echoing in the reference room where the air became a little stuffy.

"Mr. Naito, now is not the time to be angry because of these murders." She subtly changed the concept, interpreting Hijikata's anger as a kind of "anger and sympathy of a righteous passer-by who acts bravely for justice", so as not to let the deputy chief arrive. At this kind of moment, we still have to struggle with the design of the collapse [Fog!

"Regardless of who was right and who was wrong in the past, those officials in the government or those big men in Satsuma defended who..."

"Now, everyone must be responsible for the crimes they committed." She stared at Tufang and said slowly, word by word.

"Because this is the law."

Hijikata let out a "ha!" from his throat in surprise, opened his eyes slightly, and stared closely at the always difficult Miss Quan in front of him.

Indeed—she was absolutely right.

Even though it is no longer an era where justice can be maintained in the heart by drawing out a sword to defeat the opponent, however, the law he abides by is still there.It can even be said that it has become more advanced and developed; therefore, there are more things that Fadu can do——

"...Okay." He replied hoarsely.

"After daybreak, I will go to the prison to interrogate Suzuki again...I will directly ask him if he has anything to do with the Royal Tomb Guards."

He saw the tricky and difficult Miss Quan in front of him slowly frowned.

"Okay," she said, "don't be too polite to him because of your scruples. Put as much pressure on him as the law allows."

...Listen to what kind of speech that flouts the law!

Although what she said seemed to respect Fadu, he could tell as soon as he heard it that she was deliberately instigating him!

The earthworker cleared his throat.

"Well, I will." He tried his best to pull himself together, acting as if he was full of confidence.

"It will tell him that if he doesn't cooperate, he will definitely regret it!"

With a pop, she laughed.The air in the room, which was particularly dull due to the discovery of two consecutive bad news(?), also suddenly became lighter.

"How do you make him regret it? Do you make him regret coming to this world?" She asked with a smile.

Tufang suddenly felt his face heat up.

...Yabai, he seems to have casually uttered his customary lines when interrogating the rogues when he was the deputy chief of ghosts!

He suddenly remembered that when he was interrogating that Gu Gao Shuntaro, at the beginning Gu Gao was quite tough, and he gritted his teeth and refused to confess.Then he came out of the interrogation room angrily, and when he passed the courtyard, he saw the chief executive there, and the chief executive asked a little teasingly, "Mr. Can't you take down the guy you caught today?"

Then his head buzzed, his anger rushed directly to his brain, and he replied to the chief without thinking, "I will pry his mouth open! Let him know that if he doesn't cooperate, he will regret coming to this world." !”.

Later, he really opened Gu Gao's mouth and got the exact news, and then he had the brightest battle of the Shinsengumi——

But now, what is he talking about?What is this tricky Miss Quan talking about?

It has been more than ten years since the Ikedaya change.The chief executive didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know if he was still alive; the woman who followed him closely on the street back then had also been reduced to ashes before his eyes.All the brilliance has faded with time, leaving only him still in this world.

However, you must be worthy of those companions who entrusted their ambitions, beliefs, and even their lives to him back then.

Tufang's complexion changed, and the inconspicuous redness on his face fell again. He was surprised to find that his mood was as calm as water.

Probably, it was because I finally found a direction of investigation, so I could keep going along this path.

"Yes," he said.

"It will make him regret being with Xin...becoming an enemy of us."

He almost slipped his tongue and brought out the word "Shinsengumi" very smoothly. Fortunately, he realized the crisis in time after uttering the first syllable and changed his mouth.

However, the difficult Miss Quan in front of her didn't seem to notice his almost exposed flaws.She just bent her eyes slightly, looking very happy, and she didn't know which word in his sentence that almost caused a big crisis could make her so happy suddenly.

"Okay!" She raised her voice, looking very excited.

"I am looking forward."
