Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

Thin streaks of fresh blood seeped out.

"Isn't your master here?"

Yae no Miko was so scared she almost lost her fur.

She wasn't afraid of anyone else, not even a "Doctor," because with General Thunder around, they would never dare to touch her.

But this pervert in front of me is different.

Although she knew he was probably just trying to scare her.

But you can't be too afraid of the unexpected; he really does know how to kill foxes.

Now that Balzebu is in his hands, if she really displeases him, he might actually let her taste the blood of a fox. She's still a little fox and doesn't want to die.

"Only you are worthy to be the master of the Son of God."

"From now on, I will be your fox spirit in life and your fox ghost in death. If you make the divine child lie down, the divine child will never bend over."

"Foxes don't stand still."

Yae no Miko's smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her charming smile.

“Master, you are right.”

As she spoke, Yae no Miko did not transform into a fox. Instead, she simply grew fox ears and a fox tail and squatted on the ground like a fox, with her large fox tail swaying behind her and looking at him with a fawning expression.

"good."

Lin Jiu'an rubbed her fox ears with satisfaction.

He then handed the sword to her: "Take a look."

Yae no Miko was puzzled, but she immediately took the sword.

"Feel it."

The technique of attaching a soul to an object was originally taught to Balzebu by Yae no Miko.

Upon hearing Lin Jiu'an's words, the Eightfold Divine Child immediately immersed his consciousness into them.

At the same time, she kept an eye on Lin Jiu'an's every move, fearing that he would suddenly kill her while she was focused on "Dream One Heart". However, the next moment she was completely attracted by the abnormality of "Dream One Heart".

"this...?"

Yae no Miko discovers that "Dream Heart" contains more than just Balzeb's soul.

There is also a faint soul that shares the same origin as Balzeb.

Baal?!

Yae no Miko carefully examined it several times and confirmed that the soul, which was so weak that it was not even comparable to an ordinary person, was indeed Balzeb's sister Bal, who had died five hundred years ago.

"You also know that I have the ability to absorb other people's elemental power and life force."

"After I used this sword to kill the army of the Heavenly Commander, I suddenly discovered that a soul had appeared in the sword."

Do you know Him?

After a moment of astonishment, Yae no Miko's beautiful eyes gradually revealed an irrepressible excitement and anticipation.

Since Lin Jiu'an was able to 'resurrect' Baal's soul, then...

"Master...Master, what, what about Fox Abode...?"

Yae no Miko's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"That depends on your performance."

······

Inatsume, the tea room.

When Yae no Miko arrived at the tea room, she saw Toma approaching her anxiously.

"Lord Gongsi, how is the matter progressing?"

Yae no Miko shook her head: "I did not find any trace of the other party."

Thomas paused for a moment, then said, "But Zaoyou is indeed..."

"I know, I don't suspect you and Zaoyou, but I did notice something was wrong with Ayaka. Maybe she hid because she knew I was coming?"

“Linghua also never mentioned Lin Jiu’an, probably because she was worried about his mother.”

“But what should we do?” Thomas said with a wry smile.

After Yae no Miko's reminder, he discovered a very critical point.

If Lin Jiu'an stays hidden in the back and doesn't come out, and he has Shen Li Linghua's mother in his grasp, then Shen Li Linghua will inevitably go down a dark path, and even a god couldn't save her.

"Of course I couldn't find him."

"But if we can get the general to help, finding him will be a piece of cake."

"Please, General, make your move?"

"But for some reason, even Kujo Takayuki hasn't entered the castle tower for quite some time now."

Yae no Miko said, "Of course I can see it, but I need evidence."

"evidence?"

Thomas's heart stirred, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Yae no Miko said anything more, but simply said, "I will be staying at the Kamisato family's house for a while."

"With me here, he won't show up, so you can do whatever you want without worry."

"Once you find conclusive evidence that will compel the general to take action, come to the Kamisato family to find me."

"At that time, I will naturally take action."

Yae no Miko left, leaving Thomas alone in deep thought.

evidence?

Thinking about these two words, Thomas thought of a person from the Tenryo magistrate's office, a man he had recently heard about who was relentlessly investigating the cause of Ayato Kamisato's death through various channels.

Luyeyuan Pingzang.

······

tea room.

Sitting opposite Thomas was a man with short, dark red hair.

"I heard you've been investigating my Kamisato family lately?"

Heizo Kanoin did not deny it: "I received a mission to investigate the cause of death of the head of the Kamisato family."

Even for Kanoin Heizo, this was the first time he had faced such a difficult case.

The main target of this mission is the Kamisato family.

Even as a "detective" under the Tenryo magistrate, he has the freedom to enter and exit almost all of Inazuma's locations to investigate cases, but this "all" absolutely does not include the Sha magistrate.

It's impossible for the Tenryo Magistrate to unilaterally force his way into investigating Ayato Kamisato's death, given that Ayato Kamisato had refused.

And now he can't even get through the gates of the Kamisato family.

After searching high and low, he finally managed to find a clue about the "Final Chapter" ninja's whereabouts by the second-in-command of the "Arataki Faction". However, after several days, he couldn't get any news at all until today when the other party took the initiative to invite him over.

“This is a private matter for my family.”

"You're meddling in far too many things."

That's the answer.

Kanoin Heizo was somewhat helpless.

While his identity as a detective certainly granted him many unimaginable advantages in his detective career, it also effectively barred him from involvement in truly major cases.

after all.

Those cases were either handled by the Heavenly Order Enforcer or by the Society Enforcer or the Investigation Enforcer.

He cannot investigate the former.

He couldn't check the latter.

However, the death of Ayato Kamisato is definitely a major case among major cases, especially given the downfall of the Kansei Magistrate and the recent problems on Umijima Island, which gave this natural-born detective a feeling that a storm was brewing.

Seeing Thomas's gesture of serving tea and seeing the guest off, Kanoin Heizo did not leave but said something.

"My trip is not on behalf of the divine authority."

"It represents me personally."

"What do you mean by that?"

There is a play!

Both Kanoin Heizo and Toma were secretly delighted.

Kanoin Heizo said in a deep voice, "I have a premonition that the death of the head of the Kamisato family is not the end, but the beginning."

"If the real culprit cannot be found, even more terrible things may happen next."

"Therefore, no matter what the outcome of this case is, if it is not beneficial to the Shinri family, I will not report it to the higher-ups."

"after all."

"The Kansei-gyō (military commissioner) has already perished, and the Shabu-gyō (military commissioner) cannot withstand any further turmoil."

Heizo Kanoin's words struck a chord with Thomas.

He went to find him.

One reason is that Yae no Kōji needed the evidence he requested.

One reason is what he said.

It has nothing to do with Inazuma, but only with the magistrate's family. Ayato Kamisato's death has already left the magistrate's family in a precarious situation, unable to withstand any greater crisis.

If such a famous detective could pin all the blame on Lin Jiu'an.

In addition, there's the young lady's consistently good reputation.

So even if there are some rumors circulating outside, like "Ayaka Kamisato killed Ayato Kamisato," it won't affect the young lady.

"I can let you sneak into the Kamisato family home to look for clues."

Thomas pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "But you must make a promise."

"You cannot make judgments that would damage the reputation of my Kamisato family and the young lady of the Kamisato family, and you must come to me first to obtain evidence."

"It's natural."

Although things were going a little too smoothly, Kanoin Heizo said without hesitation.

The truth is certainly important to him.

However, "white lies" and "nipping crime in the bud" are even more important.

Not to mention, being able to uncover the unprecedented case of the 'sudden death of the head of the family,' which has not been seen in hundreds of years, is an honor that a detective cannot refuse.

And he certainly wasn't lying.

The Kanding Fengxing (a military organization) has been destroyed.

The company's guiding principle is that no major problems can be allowed to arise again.

Otherwise, Inazuma would have caused even more trouble.

In order to ensure Inazuma's stability, unravel the mystery, and nip any potential disaster in the bud, the cause of Ayato Kamisato's death and...

"I hate books with terrible monthly fees and benefits; stealing books will bring death to your whole family."

The perpetrator's identity is not important.

From Thomas's reaction, he had already guessed that it must have been Ayaka Kamisato who killed Ayato Kamisato.

But the murderer is, and must be, that deeper mastermind behind the scenes.

It cannot be Ayaka Kamisato.

"Well."
