In the library.
It was different from the underground Great Spirit Book Corridor. It was a large library that existed on the surface.
On the basis of not involving confidential matters, all the major and minor matters that had happened since the establishment of the Court Protection Squad 13 were recorded. Among them, the one with the most records and the most frequent compilation was the personnel file.
In a deserted corner of the bookshelf, the Heavenly Shell Embroidered Assistant was flipping through a book made of hemp paper in her hand.
This was the fourth year he had been searching for clues to his father's death.
Although he wasn't as anxious and angry as he was in the beginning, he was still frustrated by the fruitless search.
"What exactly is the Yao Yao Blade? Why couldn't he find any relevant records in so many books about weapons and swords?”
Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu muttered to himself.
The thing mentioned in his father's last words before his death was the only clue that could help him find out the truth.
However, after leaving Zhenyang Spiritual Academy and changing his appearance for a few years, pretending to be from Liuhun Street and joining the 13th Court Guard Team, he had patiently lurked for several years and made all kinds of open and secret investigations, but in return, he had found nothing.
"Damn it…"
Hasuke could not help but punch the bookshelf beside him, causing the entire bookshelf to shake violently. The dust on the top layer drenched his head.
"Cough cough cough…"
Just as he was choking and coughing, someone suddenly spoke to him.
"Be careful. These bookshelves are old objects. They might have rotted inside. It's not surprising that they fall apart after being hit so hard.”
"What? I'm sorry."
The Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu subconsciously apologized.
However, as soon as he said that, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
…When did this person appear beside him?
The moment this thought appeared, a chill immediately appeared, causing his body to tense up.
"Relax, you're going to break the book.”
“……”
The other party's casual words seemed to have some kind of magic. The Heavenly Shell Embroider silently put the book in his hand back on the shelf and turned around to carefully size up this guy who suddenly appeared like a ghost.
A young man who was half a head shorter than him.
The word 'young' was written all over her face, and her slender figure gave off an unexpectedly tough impression.
He had short black hair, and the fringe on his right side was especially long, as if it was tied with a tassle. His gentle and upright facial features had a pair of fiery red eyes.
On the basis of the temperament of a noble's son, there was a cold and cruel taste added out of nowhere.
"Um, you're here to look for books too, right? Sorry to block you, please use it.”
The Heavenly Shell Embroidered Assistant tried to smooth things over awkwardly.
"No, I'm here to look for you."
Guan Yue went straight to the point to the Heavenly Shell Embroidery Assistant who was planning to leave.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Guan Yue, the third seat of the second division and the captain of the third secret mobile division.”
"…Forgive me for my rudeness, but I'm the third seat of the Guan Yue Group. I'm the Heavenly Shell Embroidery Assistant of the Seventh Division.”
After a moment of silence, the Heavenly Shell Emusuke bowed slightly to show his respect for his superior.
"Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu? Is that your real name?"
"…Yes, my personal file is also recorded in this library. If you have any doubts about my background, you can send someone to investigate the street where I used to live.”
Guan Yue's question made Tianbei Xiuzhu's breathing stop, and she tried her best to respond calmly.
"There's no need for that. I'll naturally investigate your background. Compared to this…my subordinates reported to me that your movements were suspicious and asked around for some secrets.”
Guan Yue looked at him with a faint smile.
"This…I admit that I did it, but I didn't break any rules, right?”
The Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu's expression was slightly stiff.
"The team I manage, regardless of whether someone has violated the rules or not, as long as they find a Death God with suspected dangerous thoughts during the investigation, they will secretly arrest him. Don't you think your actions are very suspicious?”
"How, how could this be…? This was too unreasonable. Who would allow such an unreasonable law enforcement procedure to be arrested without conclusive evidence of a crime?”
The Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu's emotions were a little out of control, but the cold words that Guan Yue spat out made his hands and feet cold.
"Who allowed it? Of course it's Room 46."
"But that being said…you don't meet the conditions to be arrested.”
Guan Yue suddenly changed the topic.
"Huh?"
Ignoring the stunned Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu, Guan Yue casually took out a book from the bookshelf and said as she flipped through it,
" It's none of my business who you're asking about, but the Yao Sword is different. It's a secret skill that the Kasumigami family used to forge swords for the royal family. They made special weapons privately. Many Grim Reapers are missing. I suspect that they were captured by Kasumigami as test subjects. We're investigating and collecting evidence now.”
"Coincidentally, there is a guy who is also asking about the existence of the Yao Dao. Do you think I will not care about it?”
"I know my investigation skills are not good, but what can I do? I don't have the kind of intelligence gathering methods that you guys have.”
" That's not important. What's important is…"
Guan Yue's fingers paused and turned the book towards the Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu.
"Where did you learn about the Yao Yao Blade?”
"This…!"
The pupils of the Heavenly Shell Suzuke constricted.
The opening page of the book in front of him had the words 'Yao Yao blade'.
Guan Yue casually threw the book into his arms.
The latter caught it in a flurry.
" In the future, if you want to find something you don't know, don't just look for the relevant categories. Start by looking for the source and background of this thing…because the information in this library has been deleted and changed many times. Perhaps out of respect for the nobles, the records related to it are more comprehensive.”
"…The Kasumi clan and the Yao Dao?”
The Heavenly Shell Xiuzhu read the page that mentioned the Yao knife several times.
It was just a few sentences, not complicated at all.
This made him both excited and disappointed.
He was excited that he finally had a new clue, but he was disappointed that there was too little information.
However, he did not forget who had found the book and handed it to him.
"Third Seat Guan Yue, I'm very grateful for the clues you provided, but... it's best to give up the investigation of this case.”
"Why?"
Guan Yue raised her eyebrows.
Tianbei Shusuke took a deep breath and seemed to be struggling internally.""I'll tell you since you're able to investigate the cause of death for those who lost their lives.”
"My father was actually one of the victims of the Yao Dao, and the culprit who caused his death was not only the Kasumigami family, but also Yamamoto Genyanagi Shigekuni.”
