My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

"Heh... still under investigation!?" Chai Gongwu laughed in exasperation. He had originally wanted to give Hangping a good scolding, but looking at Hangping's appearance, he didn't even have the thought of scolding him anymore.

"Are there any suspects?" Shiba Miyako finally asked.

"Suspects, there are! There are ten... no, twenty!" Chai Gonghangping immediately understood what Chai Gongwu meant.

“Okay, list the suspects,” said Shibamiya Takeshi.

Chai Gongwu turned to another person—Chai Gongqingkong—and ordered, “Qingkong, go! Kill all these suspects, as well as their relatives, friends, and so on. Do it cleanly, leave no survivors.”

The man named Aozora answered without hesitation, "Hi!"

There was no doubt on his face, as if he had done this countless times before.

"Alright, let's start discussing the real culprit now." Shiba Miyamoto's slightly hoarse voice rang out. "Recently, which forces have had a grudge against our Shiba Miyamoto family?"

A young man sitting in the last row of the main hall looked very puzzled. He asked the person next to him in a low voice, "Excuse me, didn't the patriarch just discuss the suspects? Why are you talking about the real murderer now?"

The elder beside him, upon hearing his question, glanced at him and said in a low voice, "This is your first time attending a family head meeting, isn't it?"

"Oh, yes, how did you know?"

The man didn't answer directly, but said, "Since you're qualified to attend the family meeting, you should get rid of your petty mentality."

"Small-minded thinking?!" the young man asked, puzzled.

“Yes, that’s the mindset of a commoner.” The man suddenly said seriously, “Remember, we, the Chai Gong family, are different from those commoners outside. We control inexhaustible wealth and have the power to command the wind and rain. We… are born noble!”

"...The sole purpose of all those ordinary people outside is to please us noble ones!"

"Today, a direct descendant of my Chai Gong family has died. It is both morally and logically necessary for some commoners to be buried with him, and for their blood to be used to appease Yang Sheng's spirit in heaven!"

The young man was deeply shocked by the man's matter-of-fact tone.

Human sacrifice was a custom that existed only in the slave era.

I never expected that it would still exist in the 21st century, only in a different form.

Chapter 303 Meeting Over

Both sides of the main hall.

A tall, thin man said, "Master, in Aomori City, the only ones who dare to oppose our Matsuba Association are the business groups led by the Yamada family."

Some people, however, said: "Those capitalists have nothing on their minds but money. We have always kept to ourselves, so they have no reason to provoke us and do such a thankless task."

Another person said, "That's not necessarily true. You know, these capitalists will do anything for money. How much flesh do we, the Chai Gong family, squeeze from them every year through land rent? They've probably been harboring resentment for a long time and are thinking about taking revenge on us."

“That makes sense. After all, in Aomori City, only they have the guts and the ability to take action against Nephew Yang Sheng.”

"Patriarch, I suggest an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. They attacked first, so we shouldn't hold back. Let them know how powerful the Pine Leaf Society is!"

Someone objected: "Wait, it might not be the other side's doing. What if it's a conspiracy by a third party?"

"Conspiracy? There aren't that many conspiracies. I think those guys are just eyeing our Pine Leaf Society's territory."

……

Opinions varied widely.

Shibamiya Takedo: "Kohei, does your Metropolitan Police Department have any information about the murderer? A team that could break through the protection of an elite squad and forcibly kill Yosei, even preventing them from sending out a distress signal, must have left clues in Aomori City."

Faced with the question posed by Shiba Miyamoto, Shiba Miyamoto lowered his head and said somewhat flusteredly, "This, this, the murderer, the murderer seems to be... just one person."

"Only one person?!" Chai Gongwu was surprised at first, then, as if he had thought of something, he continued, "The King of Soldiers!"

Is there anyone in the world who could single-handedly break through the elite bodyguard team of the Shibamiya family and kill Shibamiya Yosei?

Shiba Gongwu was knowledgeable and experienced; he knew that such people existed.

There are all kinds of geniuses in this world.

There are geniuses in reading, painting, music, running, self-discipline, eating, making friends, public speaking, playing games, and making women happy...

Of course... there are also geniuses at killing!

They are naturally physically stronger than ordinary people, have quick reflexes, and possess a mysterious sixth sense, such as a sense of danger...

These people have undergone professional training in military affairs, special operations, and assassination. It is entirely possible for one person to wipe out the entire professional bodyguard team that breaks through the Chai Gong family and kill Chai Gong Yangsheng.

However, such elites are very rare. Shiba Miyamoto has only seen three, one of whom was the bodyguard who was with Prince Hisahito yesterday.

Someone said, "If the murderer is a top-tier soldier, then this is a bit troublesome."

"Yes, it's not easy to deal with a top-tier individual soldier like a king of soldiers in this modern urban environment!"

“That’s right. Even for our Pine Leaf Society, it would be difficult to take down the King of Soldiers without alerting anyone.”

"While we don't need to worry about mainstream media, there are so many self-media outlets these days, and everyone has a mobile phone. What if a passerby takes a picture and posts it online..."

……

The crowd started discussing it animatedly.

"Alright, whether he's a king of soldiers or a king of soldiers, since he dared to kill someone from the Chai Gong family, he must die," Chai Gongwu said coldly. "Not only will he die, but everyone related to him will pay with their lives!"

After saying that, Chai Gongwu turned his gaze back to Chai Gonghangping: "Hangping, order the police to intensify their search and try to find the whereabouts of the King of Soldiers."

“Ah… Hi!” Hangping said.

Since Shiba Miyamoto didn't ask any questions, he didn't bring up the strange aspects of the case.

Firstly, his principle in life is "the more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make."

Secondly, the strangeness of this case is still uncertain, and it is uncertain whether it is true or false. What if it turns out that the murderer deliberately created a false impression? Wouldn't that make us look stupid?

In addition, Chai Gongwu, who holds a high position, is extremely busy with many affairs of state, especially since he is old and his energy has declined significantly.

He only asks about the final result of many things, and doesn't care about the process.

For example, in the case of Shibamiya Yosei's murder, he only wanted to know if the murderer had been caught. If the murderer hadn't been caught, then he would go and catch him.

As for why they weren't caught.

He has no time, no energy, and no desire to know these trivial details.

Therefore, Chai Gongwu only knew that Chai Gongyangsheng had been beaten to death with his neck broken, but he was unaware of the strangeness of the entire crime scene.

After a while, Chai Gongwu gave most of the people detailed "tasks," striving to get rid of that king of soldiers as soon as possible and eliminate the forces behind him.

At this moment, someone entered the main hall to report to Shiba Miyako that Prince Hisahito was preparing to depart.

Upon hearing this, Chai Gongwu frowned on his wrinkled face with white hair hanging down, and asked, "Did you extract divine blood from the woman you sent to Your Highness last night?"

The man said, "It has been retrieved."

Shiba Miyamoto smiled and said, "That's good."

He announced the end of the meeting, then rose to prepare to see Prince Hisahito off.

Shiba Miyamoto is a traditional person.

He was born at the height of the Japanese Empire's power. At that time, Japan's military strength was among the world's best, and the Emperor was still sitting high on the altar. In the hearts of all Japanese people, the Emperor was the incarnation of a god.

A common problem in Japan's high society is the belief in bloodlines.

Their obsession with bloodlines bordered on the abnormal.

The most typical example is the Emperor.

To ensure the purity of their bloodline, it is common practice in the Imperial Family for fathers to marry daughters, sons to marry mothers, and brothers to marry sisters.

This also resulted in the Emperor's direct line being frequently frail, sickly, short in stature, and short-lived...

As for deformities, they were dealt with at birth.

If the Emperor was like this, others were even more so, especially Shibamiya Takeshi.

Like other Japanese conservatives, he believed in Shintoism, revered the Emperor, and had unwavering faith in bloodlines, believing that a person's nobility was determined by their lineage.

This kind of obsession has reached an almost perverted level!

Even though the Shibamiya family has developed to this extent, he still believes in his heart that the Shibamiya family's bloodline is inferior to that of the Emperor's royal family.

His utmost respect for Prince Hisahito was genuine; it should be said that he respected not Prince Hisahito as a person, but the bloodline within him.

Why did he go to such great lengths to invite Prince Hisahito to stay overnight at his home?

Because Prince Hisahito is the Emperor's legitimate son, he carries the sacred bloodline that has been passed down for thousands of years by the Japanese Emperor.

That was an existence that people like him, who rose from humble beginnings, had to bow down to and dare not look up to!

Especially when he saw his grandson Chai Gongyang's useless state, he attributed it all to the fact that Chai Gongyang did not have noble blood.

He decided to make up for the lack of blood in his Shibamiya family.

That is, to obtain the Emperor's bloodline.

However, royal princesses all marry within the same clan, and even if they marry outside the clan, it's not something they can even dream of.

Therefore, he set his sights on Prince Hisahito.

Hearing that Prince Hisahito would be passing through Aomori City, he spent a great deal of money to have the prince stay at his home for one night.

They then obtained royal offspring by arranging for women to serve them in bed, and through artificial insemination, they conceived a baby girl.

After raising her to adulthood, he arranged for her to marry Shibamiya Yosei.

In this way, the Shibamiya clan would be a divine clan with the bloodline of the Emperor!

This is why, when he saw that Prince Hisahito was interested in Hui, he immediately devised a plan to get Hui into Prince Hisahito's bed.

In any case, all he wanted was the royal bloodline.

If Hui knew what old man Chai Gongwu was thinking, she would only say disgustedly, "Pervert!"

……

Chapter 304 How much does it cost per time?

Time flies, and three days have passed.

Over the past three days, Hui has experienced nausea, aversion to greasy food, vomiting, loss of appetite, and drooling from time to time.

Fortunately, these symptoms were relatively mild, and with careful attention, they were not noticed by parents or classmates.
