Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Early in the morning, Tufang and Miss Quan agreed to meet at the court at noon.Then, he hurried away.

Of course Liu Quan also has things to do.

The system bacteria will not stuff unfounded information into her query results such as "suspected that Yudou Abe Juro, the guard of the royal tomb, is the murderer who killed Saisuke Yasufu" for no reason. This move proves that at least this information is It has its meaning.

So she decided to dig deeper for this clue.

In the final analysis, her original purpose was not to really help the earth to get to the bottom of the theft of Rosenberg's house.

In later generations, "Choso Miko Toru" is a sword that has been missing since Kondo-san's death and only exists in legends.Although it is a pity, it also means that in this historical world, it is impossible to find it - after all, if it appears, it means rewriting history, doesn't it.

Moreover, if she really misses the sword "Nagaso Miko Toru" and the honest and loyal Fusangshin who has many similarities with Kondo-san, she can also temporarily return to that world to meet him ——After all, the current relevant institutions in that world are led by the party she joined, as their capable generals, even if the previous Honmaru was returned to the earliest God-inspector, Ms. Hitomi Come to manage, but she is still eligible to apply to be a guest, to visit the fusangshen who have also formed a deep friendship in the short time together and in the battle, right?

Therefore, what she is really focusing on now is actually the case of "Guardian Abe Juro suspected of assassinating the last deputy chief of the Shinsengumi, Fu Saisuke".

Although this case has not been solved until later generations, Abe Juro was included in the database of system bacteria as one of the suspects. From this point, it can be seen that at least the hatred and revenge of the Imperial Tomb Guards towards the members of the Shinsengumi The heart can be extended to many years later.

However, now, Liu Quan feels that he is almost sure that the rumors related to "Abe Juro is the suspect who assassinated Yasuke Saisuke" are not groundless.

because--

Now that he had identified the clue of the "Remnant Party of Royal Tomb Guards", Liu Quan thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, picked up a pen and a piece of paper, put a file under the She swiped her head and wrote and drew for a while, then she straightened up the file and the piece of paper and turned it towards the soil, revealing the content she had sketched on the piece of paper.

"This is a roughly presumed portrait I drew based on the description of the suspicious man's appearance by the witnesses in the file," she said, "What do you think...?"

In fact, where does she have such profound skills? It all depends on the series of short-term skill experience activities launched by System Bacteria that use points to replace.

She changed to the advanced skill of "One-Hour Sketch", and then according to the witness interview records in the case file, came a character sketch.

Just looking at Hijikata's stunned eyes at that moment - I have to say that the deputy chief's expression management is still very good, Liu Quan can almost only capture his surprise and anger from his eyes that suddenly darkened ——She can know that the suspicious man mentioned by the witness is Abe Juro himself.

But in the end, Tufang just coughed restrainedly, and said, "...Is this person the remnant party of the Imperial Tomb Guard?"

Liu Quan's inner OS: Pretend, you continue to pretend.Anyway, you are handsome, you are right in everything——

In fact, she herself met Juro Abe.After all, Abe Juro was originally a gunnery teacher of the Shinsengumi, and he was also a very experienced veteran soldier; Liu Quan still respects this kind of technical talent.

Of course, later he defected to Yidong and took off together to form the Royal Tomb Guards.

In her impression, this Abe Juro seemed to be very lucky. When the Yukoji incident broke out, he just went hunting in the mountains and didn't return all night, so he didn't get any news. "The Shinsengumi assassinated Mr. Ito in Yukoji, we Now we are going to go to bring back the body of the husband" and other notices, and did not return to the Imperial Tomb Guard's quarters in Kodaiji Tsukishin-in Temple until the morning; it turned out that the change of Yukoji had ended with the victory of the Shinsengumi at that time, and then he He and the few remaining members of the Royal Tomb Guard fled in a hurry.

Who knew he had been lurking in the dark like a poisonous snake for so long, planning to take revenge on the surviving members of the Shinsengumi many years later?

But now, in the face of the deputy chief who is trying his best to maintain the personality of "apprentice judge Naito Katsuto", Liu Quan feels that he still needs to do some superficial work.

So she said in serious astonishment: "So you don't know too well? So where do we go to find people who have seen this 'Abe Juro' before to identify this portrait...?"

On the surface, Liu Quan and the deputy chief expressed the false appearance of "I don't know this Abe Juro at all" to each other, but in fact they had their own ghosts (heavy fog!).

However, since Liu Quan subtly reminded (?) the deputy chief in his words just now, the deputy chief also reacted immediately, and immediately volunteered: "There must be some people who used to belong to the Aizu clan to work everywhere. Among them, say There may be people who have seen this remaining party of Imperial Tomb Guards. Give me this portrait, and I will ask someone to find someone who knows him to identify him..."

Liu Quan handed over the portrait to the deputy chief in a good manner, pretending to be happy on the surface.

"That's great...then I'll leave this matter to you. I'll also visit the area where the crime happened to see if there are any other clues..."

In the early morning, when the two of them were parting on the street outside the gate of the police station, Tufang suddenly hesitated and waved the drawing paper in his hand to her again.

"You're really good at drawing..." he said, "how did you come up with the idea of ​​painting such a portrait?"

Liu Quan smiled, and wanted to say, isn't this the ancient so-called "Hui Ying Graphics" routine for catching suspects.But she turned around when she got to the point of the mouth, she bent her eyebrows, and replied with a smile: "Because I suddenly remembered, I heard that you carry a portrait of your wife with you... It is said that it is painted by Westerners. Draws people so vividly; as luck would have it, I've learned a little bit of that technique, too, so—"

Earthwork: "..."

Now thinking of the expression on the deputy chief's face at that time, Liu Quan still wanted to laugh a little bit.

Because the deputy chief had an expression of "excuse me", and wished he could disappear from her face immediately, lest she have another chance to poke his lungs.

This gave her a brief sense of relief during the whole morning's running.

While her "one-hour sketch" trial pack hadn't expired, she used the system bacteria in her mind to search for all the records about Abe Juro's appearance description for herself.

As a result, System Bacteria helped her find a photo that was said to be Juro Abe!

Although the photo looks very blurry, half of the face is shrouded in shadow by terrible lighting; and from the face, it is definitely the appearance of an old man, but with this photo as a reference, Supplemented by some written descriptions of his appearance, Liu Quan managed to create a simulated middle-aged portrait.

In the morning, she went to the vicinity of the crime scene, visited several witnesses recorded in the case files, such as the owner of the tea house, the owner of the tavern, the owner of the grocery store, etc., and showed them the portrait.

Everyone said that it was this strange man who suddenly haunted the neighborhood for a few days for no reason, saying that he came to eat or drink. After a few days after the murder happened on the street, he disappeared again; I was scared, I was afraid that the security around here would be bad, so I didn't dare to come, but thinking about the aura emanating from that person, he didn't seem like a timid person.

The tavern owner even said that one night this man was drinking late in his shop, and when he was about to close, he sent a boy in to clean up the cups and dishes-by the way, he was also very politely hinting that the shop was closing, please What do you mean by leaving—the man seemed to be dozing off when he went in; when he heard someone walking in lightly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the horrible look in his eyes made the little guy stumble in fright , Did not dare to say anything, hurriedly packed up his things, and then retreated.

The tavern owner said: "The kid rushed down and told me that he saw a pair of wolf's eyes!"

Liu Quan: "..."

This is such an obvious "this person has a problem" routine.

Generally speaking, it is easy to add a lot of exaggeration to the confession after so many years; but what Liu Quan wanted was to confirm that "the portrait of Abe Juro is very similar to the strange man who used to haunt the scene." thing.

However, after confirming that Abe Juro is suspicious, what should we do?Do you want to investigate his current whereabouts?

For a moment, Liu Quan missed the time when he led a team of Fu Sangshen to the battle. If there were any investigation tasks, he could immediately send out six people to investigate everywhere, saving time, effort and worry.

However, if you want to continue living that kind of life, it means that you have to give up your life here - and most importantly, give up the opportunity to be with the deputy chief.

Although the deputy chief, a straight man of steel, can't see through her true identity under the heavy makeup on her face, but in this new era in this familiar old world, she and the deputy chief are working together on the same mission. It feels like it couldn't be better - she won't give up such an opportunity.

Liu Quan glanced at the sun above his head, and felt that he didn't have time to go home today and slowly make a deluxe version of the first-time premium bento, so he went straight to the Tokyo Court, stopped by a good shop on the way, and bought some food at will It was taken.

When she arrived at the gate of the referee with the humble food box provided by the store, the deputy chief was already waiting there—however, his expression was not very good.

Liu Quan:?

What she didn't know was that Hijikata didn't go to any Aizu clan to identify the portrait at all in the morning.

Abe Juro stayed in the Shinsengumi for several years, and was once a gunnery teacher of the Shinsengumi. As a senior veteran soldier, he had to leave the team with Kokotaro Ito to form the Royal Tomb Guard...everything Everything made the earth side very impressed with him.

Hijikata didn't need others to identify the portrait at all, he knew that the suspect drawn by Ms. Izumi based on the records in the file was Abe Juro.

However, this also confirmed the conjecture that the remnant party of the Royal Tomb Guards was indeed still active, planning to avenge the members of the Shinsengumi who survived the execution and exile.

Hijikata contacted Hiroshi Yamakawa, but Hiroshi Yamakawa was busy with work, and it was impossible to immediately notify all the old members of the Shinsengumi he knew; Reception tailor.

Shan Chuan hurried out, and after listening to Hijikata's narration, he said that he would send reliable personnel to inform the old members of the Shinsengumi to be vigilant and pay attention to their own safety; Two little apprentices appeared at the door with warm and flattering smiles on their faces.

Shanchuan didn't seem to be surprised at all, and said to them, "Madam is already waiting for you at home", and let them enter the house.

Before he boarded the carriage to go to the military headquarters, he specifically explained to the earth side, "Recently, Inoue-sama is going to preside over the opening of a hall dedicated to socializing with foreigners and promoting international friendship. What kind of warm-up is going to be done tonight? For the dance party, the higher-ups ordered everyone not only to attend, but also to wear western clothes, so it must be customized as soon as possible.”

In fact, Shanchuan visited Europe and other places in his early years and saw the world of foreigners; although it was 20 years later than that time, he still remembered some of those strange etiquettes; so people like him who have had experience abroad Officials were ordered to attend the evening dance, which was a matter of course—but, Shanchuan himself was impatient to put down the complicated affairs at hand and prepare for this kind of social occasion.

He glanced at Hijikata, and for some reason remembered a certain legend that was circulated among the high-level people of the old shogunate—"The French valued Hijikata's military talent very much, and I heard that they wanted to recruit him as their own serving in the army."

Although it was just an anecdote, it was proof that Hijikata had dealt with those foreigners and left a good impression.Thinking of the dance party tonight, Shan Chuan said casually: "Naito-kun, why don't you go too? Oh, you need to bring a female companion—"

Earthwork: "..."

He very much suspected that Shan Chuan made such a crazy proposal because he wanted to make him happy.However, Shanchuan had already boarded the car and left immediately, so he pretended not to hear and turned to the Metropolitan Police Department prison.

After getting nothing from Suzuki as usual, he returned to the referee court in a rage.When he found out that Shanchuan actually sent someone to give him a big gift box—it was a brand new suit when he opened it—his anger was almost at its peak.

Then, he found that even this stubborn Ms. Quan had broken away from her previous habit of "persisting in giving him luxurious lunchboxes every day" and was walking towards him with a simple food box from a store that was obviously from. Running over in a hurry—and being late for the first time—he felt inexplicably more annoyed.

He hates this kind of situation where everything is not on the established track!

But after running all morning, he was already hungry.So he had no choice but to pretend not to notice the fact that Miss Quan was substituting crude food bought in the store for the exquisite handmade bento, and sat down to have lunch while sharing with Miss Quan the progress of his investigation all morning.

After listening to Ms. Quan's narration, he was almost full - this fast eating speed was also due to the long-term combat career before - so he asked: "Then what do you think should be done next? ?”

He has several directions of investigation in his mind.Whether to continue to track down the whereabouts of "Nagasomi Kotoru", or to dig deeper along the line of the Imperial Tomb Guard Remnant Party and Abe Juro, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Then he heard Miss Quan answer decisively and without hesitation.

"Of course, I want to find out what that Abe Juro is doing now, and whether he has planned anything! It's best to arrest him after finding out his whereabouts, and ask him if he killed Anfu-kun in the first place—"

Tufang was stunned for a moment, and his remaining rationality directed him to subconsciously say: "...but now our investigation task is the theft of that foreigner's house—"

Miss Quan turned her head and gave him a light look.

"Isn't it also your achievement to solve an old case and make the victim fair, Mr. Naito?"

Earthwork:! ! !

He gave a wry smile.

"No, I'm not worried that I won't get any results in the end of the investigation..." He wanted to explain his thoughts, but after saying one sentence, he felt that there seemed to be no words that could accurately express his heart, so he could only smile wryly again for a moment.

"Well, let's decide then," he said briefly at last.

"Looks like I need to give that Suzuki some color..." He muttered to himself.

Miss Quan sounds extra aggressive (?) today.Maybe she heard Hijikata's grunt, and suggested enthusiastically(?) :

"How about interrogating him openly after obtaining permission? I don't believe that it is not allowed to use appropriate means to obtain the truth of the matter..."

Tufang couldn't help but glanced at her.

...You really dare to say it, she.

What "appropriate means"?He hasn't forgotten what she said last night, "make him regret coming to this world"—is it supposed to be such tiger-wolf words in the head of a lady from a poor family? !
