In Soul Society, I just want to retire

That is to say, at this time, Ryunosuke Kusakawa was drinking outside with his friends and it was impossible for him to hurt his wife, but why was there blood on his knife?

Framed?

It is indeed possible, but what method did the murderer use? Why would someone steal the knife and then return it after killing someone?

"What did you eat that day?" asked Mako Hirako.

"There's sushi, boiled lobster, and homemade pickles."

"How often do you two drink together? Can anyone prove that you two are friends? Don't tell me it's just the two of you every time you drink together." asked Mako Hirako.

"We... only get together for a drink once every six months. After all, everyone has their own jobs, so there's nothing we can do about it."

"Half a year..." Mako Hirako recorded all the information.

"Very good, the information you provided is very useful. If all this information is true, Ryunosuke Kusakawa might be released in court at the next hearing. Thank you very much for your cooperation!" Mako Hirako grinned.

"What are you talking about? We are all colleagues, shouldn't we help each other?" said Jiu Tiao Huang Quan.

"Then you'd better not skip work to drink next time." Hirako Mako answered half-jokingly.

"If you're alright, I'll leave first."

"Walk slowly."

When Jiujo Huangquan walked to the door, he was suddenly stopped by Pingzi again.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you something. What is Ryunosuke Kusakawa's favorite dish?" asked Mako Hirako.

Jiu Tiao Huang Quan didn't expect the other party to ask this question suddenly, and hesitated for a moment: "My favorite food should be nut tofu!"

"Nut tofu! I like it too. But... you just said that you can only get together once every six months, so why is there no nut tofu that your friend likes the most on the dinner table?" Hirako Mako's face instantly darkened, his body moved forward slightly, and his spiritual pressure was slightly released.

Jiu Tiao Huangquan felt a huge sense of oppression, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Maybe... maybe I forgot... Ryunosuke is not a petty person, he definitely won't care." Kujo Yomi said.

"I'm saying, are you really his friend? I asked Ryunosuke Kusakawa privately before, and he told me that his favorite food is stir-fried shrimps. Why does it become nut tofu when it comes to you?" Mako Hirako showed a curious expression and a sinister smile.

Sweat dripped down Jiu Tiao Huang Quan's forehead, and a hint of panic appeared on his once calm smile. "His favorite dish might not be just one, it could be many. Nut tofu and stir-fried shrimp are both his favorite colors."

Hirako Mako suddenly reached out and knocked his head. "Ouch! Look at my memory. I forgot. When I interrogated him last time, I didn't even ask him what he liked to eat."

Jiu Tiao Huangquan's smile froze on his face.

Blanch!

"Next time I interrogate him, I'll ask him what he likes to eat, and I'll bring some in for him. Do you have anything else to say, Clerk Kujo?" Mako Hirako stared at the man in front of her with eyes like a cat playing with a mouse.

Chapter 147: Using the Truth to Deceive People

Jiu Tiao Huang Quan had lost his initial composure. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold.

Hirako Mako completely ignored the other party's identity and just stared at him coldly. The two sides began to confront each other quietly.

It could have been a second, or it could have been several seconds.

A voice suddenly came from Yamabuki Ditang's office.

"Everyone come and eat watermelon! This is freshly picked watermelon and chilled with river water! It's very sweet!" said Yamabuki Ditang.

Yaoba Chiyo was happily eating a piece of watermelon, and the voice instantly broke the eye contact between the two.

"Mr. Pingzi, I'm going back to work first. If you have any questions, you can ask me again." Jiujo Huangquan had a hypocritical smile on his face.

"There are still so many questions that haven't been clarified. Don't worry, I will definitely ask you." Hirako Mako said with a forced smile.

He originally thought that this was a simple murder case, but he never expected that there would be a high-ranking noble who would protect Ryunosuke Kusakawa.

Judging from his current performance, Ryunosuke Kusakawa is a complete coward.

During his school years, his grades were always at the bottom, and he didn't achieve much after joining the Gotei 13. In addition, his wife cheated on him, and he was completely unaware that his knife was taken and used as a weapon.

Be it career or love, this loser is a complete loser in life.

But even such a coward had a nobleman to protect him.

What was going on? Did this person have some unknown secret?

Mako Hirako took the notes she had just written down and went to Yamabuki Detang's office to eat watermelon.

Yabato Chiyo was like a hamster, her pink cheeks moving as she distributed the cut watermelon to everyone.

"How was the questioning? Did you get any new information?" asked Yamabuki Ditang.

Mako Hirako casually threw the notes he had just taken on the desk.

"Can you find anything unusual in this transcript? I always feel something is wrong!" said Mako Hirako.

In Mako Hirako's eyes, there is no concept of boss at all. She took a piece of watermelon and started eating it without any hesitation.

Yamabuki Ditang didn't care about these little things and read the transcript carefully.

Not a single word was wrong in the transcript, and one could even feel the tone of the two people's conversation from the text.

"If we just look at the appearance, there shouldn't be any problem." Yamabuki Ditang said, "But Kujo Yomi lied."

Mako Hirako was shocked. Through his final test, he could judge that Kujo Yomi and Ryunosuke Kusakawa should not know each other, at least they had never met before this case.

Although Jiu Tiao Huang Quan is not an elite, he is at least the head of a noble family. Why would he become good friends with a loser from a lower noble family?

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.

In a normal social circle, people in this circle have similar abilities and wealth, so that everyone can get along well.

If Kusakawa Ryunosuke was a powerful Shinigami, he wouldn't even need the rank of captain or vice-captain. He would be just an ordinary officer, and many forces would come to win him over.

But Ryunosuke Kusakawa's strength is second to last in the entire 7th Division.

The last one is Wangcai, a Shiba Inu raised by the 7th Division.

How could such a person become good friends with the patriarch of a noble family?

The two people usually have no contact at all.

Just like it is impossible for a person to make friends with someone who is thousands of miles away, has never met, and has no contact information.

"How did you know that? Was he eavesdropping behind the door just now?" asked Mako Hirako with wide eyes.

"Of course I wasn't eavesdropping. How could I be so low-class? Look at this transcript, especially the banquet. The description feels like it's relaying someone else's words." Yamabuki Ditang asked.

"Hmm? What do you mean? I don't understand."

Yamabuki Detang continued, "That is to say, Kusakawa Ryunosuke was indeed drinking that night, and this person's identity was very mysterious and could not be known to outsiders. So Kujo Yomi replaced this person's identity, and the table of wine and food seemed to be relayed to him by the person who drank with Kusakawa Ryunosuke, what was on the table, what kind of wine was being drunk..."

Mako Hirako's eyes began to grow serious.

"That is to say, almost everything described in this confession is true. On the night of the incident, Kusakawa Ryunosuke was indeed drinking with a mysterious man, and he was even drunk. The only thing that Kujo Yomi concealed was the identity of the drinker. He mixed a lie among all the truths. He is a master of deception!" Yamabuki Ditang laughed.

The people who practice Zuowang Dao all use this method.

It is too easy to be seen through when you use fake things to deceive people, but what if you use real things to deceive people?

Especially things like language and writing.

If there is just one wrong word or punctuation mark in the entire article, the meaning of the entire article will be completely different from what is expressed.

In addition, deliberately concealing or adding some information can make it easier to mislead others.

For example: Zhang San kills someone with a gun.

If you only look at these six words, everyone will think that Zhang San is a murderer.

But if you add some information.

"Zhang San is a policeman who killed a murderer who had escaped from prison with a gun."

These six words are still there, but their meaning has changed dramatically.

"What exactly is Kujo hiding? There is actually someone who can drive the head of a superior noble family to do things for him." Hirako Mako suddenly stood up and wanted to ask Kujo Yomi.

"What's the hurry? Sit down, sit down! He has deliberately concealed the news, and he won't tell you no matter how much you ask him. Can you still torture him to extract a confession? Times have changed. If this happened two hundred years ago, huh, I could peel off his skin intact and still let him live. Then I would soak him in salt water and make him suffer from the pain, unable to live or die. If he still doesn't tell, I will use Huidao to heal his wounds, and repeat the above process until he tells. Now I'm old and soft-hearted." Shanbuki Ditang sighed.

Hirako Mako felt a chill on her back when she heard this. The evil spirits in the eighteen levels of hell are not as cruel as you.

As expected, none of the people in the old times had a normal mind.

"Then what should we do?"

"Draw the snake out of its hole. Since he wants to bail out Kusakawa Ryunosuke, let's release him at the next court hearing and see how these people react. Don't forget, the final right of interpretation of the law and rules lies in my hands." Yamabuki Ditang said proudly: "Also, if the murderer is not Kusakawa Ryunosuke, shouldn't the other person be investigated strictly?"

Chapter 148: The girl’s age is a secret

As the case has developed to this point, it is basically certain that Ryunosuke Kusakawa is an unlucky loser. Even if he watched his wife cheating on him, he might not have the courage to draw his knife and kill her.

As a result, the biggest suspect becomes Inuda Ranpo.

The blood-stained shirt that could not be used as evidence, the family emblem lost at the scene, and his wife's strange behavior all made people suspicious.

"I understand. I'm investigating Inuda Ranpo." Mako Hirako finished the last bite of watermelon and then took another piece from the table.

"Hey, that piece of watermelon is mine!" Yamabuki Detang shouted, but Hirako Mako had already run away using instant step.

"This kid! He's so impatient." Shanbuki Ditang slowly took out another whole big watermelon from under his office desk, cut it in half with a knife, and you take half and I take half.

The correct way to eat watermelon is with a spoon!

After running a few steps, Makoto Hirako discovered that there was someone following him, staring at him with a smile.

"Captain Yafeather! Why are you following me? I don't have time to play with you now. I have work to deal with. Don't you understand that human life is at stake?" said Hirako Mako.

"I'm following you because I think what you're investigating is interesting. You're going to investigate a suspicious woman, right? Wouldn't it be much more convenient if you bring me along?" Yaoba Chiyo said with a smile, "What if that woman behaves violently towards you? I can protect you."

Hirako Mako suddenly asked a very fatal question: "Captain Yaoyu, I heard... your real age is over four hundred..."

"Inch power, open the sky!" Yababa Chiyo punched Hirako Mako on the chin.

Obviously her motor nerves were weak, but this punch at this moment displayed the momentum of "Ye Kai".

Mako Hirako flew far away like a spinning top.

Yaoba Chiyo bent down with a gentle look on her face: "What question did you ask just now? I didn't hear you clearly!"

"Nothing, I just want to treat you to dinner later, how about that?" Hirako Mako said in embarrassment.

Sure enough, no matter what time it is, a woman’s age is the biggest taboo.

The two came to Inuda Ranpo's house again and saw Yumiko hiding something in her sleeve, looking very flustered.

"It turns out to be the young man! He broke into a woman's house without my consent. Yours is getting bigger and bigger. Why is he bringing a little sister with him this time?" After a brief panic, Yumiko immediately regained her composure.

Although Mako Hirako saw that the other party hid something in her sleeve, she was not sure whether the hidden thing was related to the murder. If she ordered Yumiko to take off her clothes, and then the woman started to sexually harass her, wouldn't she be at a great loss?

"By the way, young man, do you have any problems coming here? If not, I have something to deal with here." Yumiko said hurriedly.

Just as Hirako Mako was about to ask her for information, Yaoba Chiyo suddenly said, "We've already determined that the real murderer in this case is your husband. The other suspect will be released soon, and you're being notified to collect your husband's body."

Yumiko's pupils trembled.

"This...how is this possible..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Hirako Mako's mouth. She really deserved to be a loli over four hundred years old. She was very good at shaking the mountain and the tiger!

If this woman really cares about her husband, she will never sit idly by and wait for death.

If this woman doesn't care about her husband's life or death, that's another story.

"Hmph, it's best if that kind of person dies. He already has me, but he's still flirting with other girls out there. He deserves it." Yumiko's attitude suddenly reversed 180 degrees, and she looked completely indifferent.

"Is that so! Then let's go." Yaoba Chiyo said lightly, then quickly pulled Hirako Mako away.

After the two men left the yard, Hirako Mako said, "What the hell are you doing? I haven't even asked the question I wanted to ask yet!"

However, Yaoba Chiyo pressed her lips with her delicate fingers, asking Hirako Makoto not to speak, and then drew out her Zanpakuto.

“Looking at flowers in the smoke!”

The blade of the Zanpakutō turned into a hazy mist, covering the bodies of the two people.

About ten minutes later, Yumiko hurriedly put on her clothes and prepared to leave home. When she reached the door, she suddenly knocked her clogs on her feet, and the clogs made a "click-click" sound.

Mako Hirako now knew what Yaoba Chiyo was trying to do.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
