"[Tsukiyomi] and [Susanoo] have already visited, will [Amaterasu Omikami] still hide behind Amano Iwato?"

After seeing Shenxiu sitting down, he looked around and spoke to the backstage.

This is a sarcasm. Because the "three noble sons" in Shinto mythology also have a contradictory relationship with each other. Legend has it that Amaterasu once hid behind the gate named Tianyando in anger because of his third brother Susanoo's rebellion in Takamahara. Now these three families compare themselves to the "Three Noble Sons" to show their supernatural power, and when they see Shenxiu, they also use the allusion of the Three Noble Sons to ridicule their superficial alliance.

You are also enemies among yourself, why bother to sit here and put on airs.

"Why bother to see Mr. God?"

A young woman's sigh came from behind the screen, followed by the sound of a group of people stepping forward. The red-haired girl in black haori led a mighty group into the main hall. Following her were several old people from the Asahi group, and in the middle was Tsubaki Yamauchi, a female consultant in a close-fitting uniform. Shuihu and Kappa walked at the end as the finishing touch. These two thugs were dressed in straight suits and looked solemn, like warriors who were personal guards in the Warring States Period.

As if there were multiple faces, the Asahina Hana at this moment was completely different from the "Asahina Hana" that Jian Shenxiu met in the banquet hall before. She has a youthful face but a straight waist and a resolute expression. She is obviously a woman but her demeanor can be called calm and vigorous, and her steps have the air of a general.

The moment he saw her, Shenxiu knew that in this silent competition about clothes, the eldest lady of the monthly reading group had lost thoroughly. Asahina Hana directly combed her capable and simple ponytail, and entered the temple in a masculine black pattern Fukihaori holding a sword. She was not prepared to compete with Night Raven in women's dresses at all, and she never thought of wearing any women's dresses to attend this banquet from the very beginning.

Asahina's flower name is not some delicate Chinese lady. She is a gangster! He is the head of the Asahina family! Parents of the Asahi group! The leader of the extreme world! Xue Jianze's extreme emperor! Of course, such a person should wear a war robe and armor on his shoulders, and go to the battlefield to swear gold and iron horses, instead of wearing a luxurious and bulky twelve-single Tang suit, and touching incense with bare hands on the banquet.

This is a really tragic contrast. When Asahina Hana walked by the seat of the Tsukuyomi group, Jian Shenxiu could see Yedu Yuya's face flushed with anger. When Yoruto Yuya was still trying to show "the demeanor of the eldest lady of the Tsukiyomi group", Hana Asahina had already stood at another height. At this moment, the contrast between the strong and the soft dresses of the two is sharp. The Yoruto Yuya on the guest seat has become the most perfect green leaf of Asahina's flower name. The more graceful and graceful she is, the more elegant and perfect she is, the more noble and mighty Asahina's flower name on the main seat is set off, just like the majestic day.

It's like Amaterasu is to Yuedu, and Asahi group is to Yuedu group. Asahina Hana is only a high school student this year, but this girl proved her status as "the yakuza of the yakuza" with just one appearance, and instantly grasped the dominance of the field.

"There are no three noble sons here."

After Hana Asahina was seated, she smiled at Jian Shenxiu and said the second half of the sentence.

"It's just a personal invitation from Huaming, and I just invited some friends to the party."

The extreme emperor on the main seat looked at Shenxiu with a look of helplessness in his eyes, and he seemed to be accommodating a stubborn friend before speaking. But her demeanor is truly powerful, and the moment she entered the main hall, she overwhelmed the heirs of the Tsukiyomi group and established the chief seat's right to speak with an absolute gesture. She is the absolute leader in this banquet, and everyone must enter her rhythm.

"Mr. Jianshen is here for the first time, let me introduce you to him." She raised her hand to introduce several people in the venue for Jianshenxiu.

"This is my classmate at school, Ms. Yedu Yuya. She is the daughter of the Yedu Foundation family. Today I brought a few family members here as guests."

"I've met Mr. Jianshen just now." Ye Du Yu Ya's expression was still a little ugly after being crushed, but at this time, he still squeezed out a decent smile from his face.

"Mr. Shenshen is handsome and elegant, and Feather Crow has been famous for a long time."

"Really?" Asahina smiled. "Then I hope you have a pleasant talk."

"As for this one." Asahina Hana pointed to the seat of the spider group on the side, the middle-aged man with glasses. "That one is our school teacher, Mr. Kosada Shota. At home is..."

When she said this, she paused slightly, and then continued.

"Fringe people."

The fringe area-that is, the people of the spider group, which is their territory.

"..."

That was the only person who hadn't seen the materials during the interview with Shenxiu. When he entered the door, he guessed that the other party was a representative of the spider group, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually working as a teacher. It was the type that would definitely not attract attention on the road. The suit was straight and his face was tired and bald. At first glance, he was no different from those men who were going through middle-aged turmoil. However, he is currently sitting at Asahina Hana's banquet table on behalf of a Yakuza, and his next speech will represent the position of the entire Spider Group.

"Hi, Mr. God."

He took the initiative to greet Jian Shenxiu, and his voice was also featureless. For the search bureau, this is the most troublesome kind of person. He has no impressive features, and once he breaks into the crowd, he will immediately disappear into the crowd.

"Mr. Xiao Zuotian." Jian Shenxiu nodded to him, and his eyes swept deeply over his face several times. Seeing this reaction, the middle-aged man's eyes trembled slightly, knowing that his face must have left a mark in his heart when he saw Shenxiu.

"As for this one, I don't need my introduction." Hana Asahina finally smiled and pointed at Shenxiu. "The most important guest of this banquet. See Mr. Shenxiu and the Chief Investigator."

The moment the words "Investigator" came out, the air in the banquet hall suddenly fell silent. Even though everyone in the venue knew each other's identities well, the moment when these three words were uttered, there was still a shocking magic power. Seeing Shenxiu at that second, he seemed to be able to see some "traits" slowly emerging from the three parties opposite him, as if some barrier disappeared instantly, and an inexplicable harmony unified them.

Indeed, they should have been on the same page. This banquet was supposed to be like this from the beginning, and the little collision between Asahina Hana and Yowatari Kawa was just a funny interlude between the two young heirs. When confronted with spiritual cultivators, they are essentially the same kind of people...

is a criminal.

Four years ago, these people removed hundreds of thousands of tons of goods from the port area, and wiped away all traces with their hands and eyes. But now that he has finally grasped the key evidence, these people had no choice but to come out of the shadows, walk up to him, and invite him with a mask with a smirk, and only then did this moment...

[banquet]

Jian Shenxiu lowered his eyelids slightly, as if trying to hide the burning light in his pupils.

"Mr. Jianshen should be regarded as the most famous man in the past few years. Your public opinions in the parliament are also very impressive. Hua Ming has admired you for a long time, but it is a pity that you are busy with work on weekdays and have not been able to Find an opportunity to engage with you."

The red-haired girl sat at the head of the banquet and smiled lightly at Jian Shenxiu, her words were warm and sincere, without the slightest hint of the arrogance of an emperor.

Throughout this evening, whether it was the "encounter" before the banquet, the formal meeting at the moment, or other details, the attitude of the leader of the Asahi group towards Jian Shenxiu can be called "generous and respectful".

Yukimizawa's pole way adopts the simple patriarchal system, and the status of "orthodox" Asahina's flower name is as supreme as "Amaterasu" in Yukimizawa. Today, when the power of the Goblin is so strong, even if the other two giants of the Navi City Hall are treated like this, they should be treated kindly and reciprocally. What's more, the search chief with the shortest time in office and the shallowest foundation among the three parties.

It can be seen that Shenxiu just slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at Asahina Hana with those scarlet and cold eyes, and then looked around.

"I don't think there is any need for contact." He said calmly to the people in front of him.

"So there is no need to say polite words, just talk about business."

After these words were spoken, there was a slight commotion in the arena. Especially Shuihu and Kappa showed obvious anger on their faces. Seeing Shenxiu understood their mentality, obviously felt that he was not flattering. But his expression still didn't change at all, he just calmly talked about the words behind him.

"I have a case in my hand. When you invited me here, you said that you got information related to this case. And..."

"The case in my hand is more or less related to the few people sitting here."

The case at hand?

which case?

It was the case of "Shoichi Yamada" three days ago. Or four years ago... the case in the port area?

The atmosphere in the field suddenly turned cold.

Everyone actually knows the answer to this question. These people don't care about who "Shoichi Yamada" is and how he died. If Jian Shenxiu hadn't caught the key evidence, there would be no such [banquet]. But because of the information that Shenxiu announced to the world at the harbor early this morning, they had to sit here and discuss the case of "Shoichi Yamada" with Shenxiu.

This is really a negotiation. Seeing that Shenxiu had caught their tails, the "dragons" had no choice but to send out invitations to him, intending to recognize his status and invite new "dragons" to the table. Even so, they still have their reserve. They don't want to tear themselves apart with Jian Shenxiu, but they still ask Jian Shenxiu to know "propriety" and "advance and retreat" in this feast of re-dividing the cake.

They are willing to give up some benefits. If Jian Shenxiu is smart enough... he should know what to touch and what not to touch. So what should be taken and what should not be taken.

It's like the nicely decorated wakizashi they sent Mishinshu.

If one is obsessed with spiritual cultivation, then the difference between [gift] and [threat] may not be so obvious.

"..."

Just when the atmosphere in the field gradually became dignified with the attitude of seeing Shenxiu, and the atmosphere of confrontation began to escalate. Hana Asahina stood up and smoothed things over.

"It's the case of the corpse suddenly found in the lower city. I heard that this case was handed over to Mr. Jianshen not long ago."

The 17-year-old Yakuza leader confirmed tonight's banquet with a smile in his speech. She said this sentence to represent that she has drawn a boundary for this negotiation, and the things to be discussed tonight are limited to this.

"I also learned something about this case. It is said that the victim had been to a bar in the upper city before being killed, and was finally killed in the lower city. So some people from Navi came to ask us to assist in the investigation."

She said and turned her head to the monthly reading group over there.

"Miss Yedu must have received an investigation order like me, right? After all, she was killed in the lower city, and the monthly reading team is responsible for the security there. If you calculate it this way, this case is indeed like seeing Mr. God. As you said, it has something to do with our two sides."

"Yes. I also paid attention to that case." Yedu Yuya nodded in agreement.

"The case happened in the lower city. It is said that the scene was extremely tragic when it was discovered. Originally, the case was supposed to be investigated by us, but it was quickly taken over by the search bureau. We have also cooperated with many investigations and have been paying attention to the details of the case. schedule."

"It is said that the case involved some mysterious things, so it was handed over to the search bureau." Asahina Hana turned her head to Jian Shenxiu.

"After the mist fell, Xue Jianze was really troubled. So far, no one knows what those mysterious fogs are. It is really hard to fight against that kind of thing every day.

As the Patriarchs of the two families sang and harmonized, the tension that had been gradually approaching daggers eased a little. Since they will send invitations to meet Shenxiu, it means that they are willing to exchange some benefits. Winning over the search chief who took office after the chaotic years is the ending they hope for. For this reason, the Asahi group and the Yueyue group don't mind showing the most kind attitude. They are the superiors, the ones who make the rules, and they should have room for tolerance. Those in power will never exclude valuable people from entering their circle, and Jian Shenxiu, who is the Chief Inspector, is of course of sufficient value.

But only if... you follow the rules.

"Shangichi Yamada's case does involve some misty things, and it's progressing smoothly so far."

Seeing Shenxiu nodded slowly while talking, he was never vague about these matters related to the case.

While speaking, he raised his hand and picked up the wine glass on the table, which contained the wine arranged by Asahina's family. Just by smelling it, one can tell that it must be an expensive famous product. But seeing that Shenxiu didn't intend to drink, he just played with the luxurious jade cup slowly with his gloved fingers. This cup is obviously an ancient relic with a long history. Under the illumination of the overhead lanterns, the jade cup wall is thin and almost transparent, reflecting the brown liquid in it with a mirror-like reflection.

With the rotation of his fingers, the projections of himself, Asahina Hana, Yowato Haya, and the representative of the spider group Shota Kosada appeared in the refraction of the liquid surface. Seeing the shadows of these people appear in the same liquid surface one by one, Jian Shenxiu's mouth slowly curled into a slightly mocking arc.

"However, there are some details in this case that involve many aspects. It just so happens that I came here this time, and I need some explanations to the search bureau."

"oh?"

Hana Asahina didn't move her expression, she still had that kind smile on her face.

"Of course we are fully cooperating with you in your investigation. Please let us know where it is useful."

"We found the victim's vomit on the side of the street when we were recovering the route of the victim Yamada Shoichi." Seeing Shenxiu turning his head and gesturing to look at Marchesias behind him, the boy understood and lowered his head from the small bag beside him. He took out a document and handed it to Jian Shenxiu.

"We analyzed his vomit." Jian Shenxiu passed the document to the waitress next to him, and the waitress passed it to Hana Asahina.

"The ingredients of hallucinogens were found in it. Since he had just left the bar in the upper city, I had someone investigate the bars he had been to. Finally, the ingredients of hallucinogens were found in the cracks in the floor tiles of the bar toilet."

"Hallucinogens?"

Asahina Hana was slightly taken aback when she heard the term. At the first moment when those words appeared, she seemed a little disbelieving, but after seeing Shenxiu's face for a few seconds, she seemed to be sure that it was not a lie. After getting the file, he didn't open it, but put it on the table beside him. The slender brows quickly frowned.

"The Asahina family has been banning all sales of hallucinogens in the entire upper city. Among all the districts in Yukimizawa, the upper district is the strictest crackdown on hallucinogens. Every bar in the upper district is a key investigation target. probably not……"

"That has nothing to do with me." Jian Shenxiu directly interrupted her words. This action caused the veins on the heads of Shuihu and Kappa behind the red-haired girl to bulge, but Jian Shenxiu didn't care and just continued.

"All I want to say is that hallucinogens were found in your security area, that's all. We haven't gone directly to arrest people, but handed over the documents to you first, which is already a respect for your security rights .”

"..." After being interrupted, Asahina Hana choked and pursed her lips slightly.

"Yes, we will investigate this matter as soon as possible and give Mr. Jianshen an explanation."

"Also." Seeing that Shenxiu didn't wait for the girl's reply, he turned his gaze to Ye Du Yu Ya who was next to him.

"Shangichi Yamada's case is a major case. But when we restored his route, we encountered a lot of obstacles on the street. We noticed that there were many places in the block where the victim was killed. The surveillance was broken, and It has not been replaced for a long time. The overall monitoring density does not meet the requirements of Navi, which has caused great troubles to our investigation.”

"This..." Ye Du Yu Ya was dumbfounded.

In fact, she also knows this situation, but the lower urban area is mostly working class, with the largest and densest population. Violent cases occur frequently in some areas, and the repair rate of such monitoring facilities is also extremely high. Therefore, due to the consideration of management costs, the monthly study group chose to turn a blind eye to certain phenomena, but there is definitely no way to say such words to Jianshenxiu.

"Okay, we'll look into the situation when we go back."

"Very good, but I'm not done yet..."

Seeing that Shenxiu asked Markesias to take out a document, it seemed to be a directory or something, and seeing that Shenxiu read similar accusations one by one according to the above, the content not only included the upper and lower urban areas but also the fringes some problems in the area.

"About the night management of Motomachi..."

"There is also the issue of security in Kotobuki..."

"..."

During the whole process, Asahina Hana and Yatou Yuya just listened calmly, and remained calm from the beginning to the end, and the representatives of the spider group did not say a word. They knew that what Jian Shenxiu was saying now was not the core of the problem. The chief inspector was just gaining momentum, and he listed these items only to gain momentum for the condition he was about to offer at the end, and even the entire discussion about the "Shoichi Yamada case" was just a cover. This conversation was just a deal for the case in the port area four years ago, and at the end of this accusation was hidden the conditions that Jian Shenxiu really wanted to raise.

They were very patient and didn't mind this kind of link, they just calmly waited to see Shenxiu's real offer.

"Probably this is the case. There are still some above. If you are interested, you can take a look for yourself."

As if he was bored with this kind of trick, Jian Shenxiu quickly ended his words, and handed the paper in his hand to the maid next to him. He motioned for her to hand Asahina Hana.

"In summary,"

Then he opened his mouth slowly, and the sound field where the words stopped was suddenly quiet, so quiet that he could even hear the faint sound of wind and rain coming from outside the hall.

"The Search Bureau has reason to question the current governance of the upper and lower urban areas. It may be because the upper and lower urban areas are too large, and you have more pressure to manage them. Maybe we need to redefine the boundaries between the upper and lower urban areas and the central business district."

Jian Shenxiu looked around at everyone.

"The two blocks of Motomachi, the upper city where the bar is located, and Kotobuki, the lower city where Shoichi Yamada was killed, should be allocated to the central business district directly managed by Navi."
