Tiancai Monopoly Of Hokage

After figuring out the cause of the matter, Tiancai continued to ask.

"Is there really a Kusanagi sword in the craftsman village? Where is the Kusanagi sword?"

The old man nodded, then shook his head.

"The Craftsman Village does inherit a Kusanagi sword, which was cast by the ancestors of the Craftsman Village and used to protect the Craftsman Village. In the early years, the previous generation of village chiefs also used the Kusanagi Sword to protect the village and fight against the mountains that invaded the village. There were battles between thieves and wandering ninjas. This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes."

"The Kusanagi Sword has been controlled by the current village chief before. After the death of the current village chief, the whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword are unknown.

Tiancai is not surprised by such an answer.

If the Kusanagi Sword was so easy to find, he would have gotten it long ago.

he continued to ask.

"Is it really Muramasa Kobayashi who killed someone in the village this time?"

Tiancai does not completely believe the villagers' oath that the murderer was Kobayashi Muramasa who wielded a demon sword.

A useless man who had been driven out of the village for more than ten years legendaryally forged a demon sword and returned to the village to take revenge.

The probability of this kind of thing happening is really very small.

The old man shook his head again.

"I am old. For safety reasons, I will not go out to watch the fun. When a murder occurred, I hid at home. I have never seen the murderer and don't know who he is.

"Is Masamune Kimura really dead?"

Tiancai asked 340 another question.

Kimura Masamune's death was a little strange. The village chief who controlled the Kusanagi sword died silently in the attack, which has to make people a little suspicious.

The old man nodded and answered affirmatively.

"Masamune Kimura is indeed dead. Although the body is a bit disfigured, it can still be seen through the clothes and some traces that it is him."

Tiancai then asked some more questions.

The old man knew a lot about past history, so he could answer everything.

He knew very little about what was going on now, and he didn't know anything about it.

"It seems that this is the only information he knows."

Bai looked at the old man with some disappointment.

This time's inquiry only clarified the history of what happened in the Craftsman Village.

What happened recently, the old man behaved very cautiously because of his age.

He took the initiative to avoid participating in it. He did not join in the fun or ask for information. Just like this, I want to avoid this trouble like a bystander.

Regarding this result, Tiancai said calmly.

"Although I haven't heard much information, for him, not participating in it and hiding (aebd) aside is indeed the most likely way to avoid being involved.

He could understand that an old man with no fighting ability would protect himself wisely when faced with a murder.

"So, based on your judgment, were any villagers involved in this incident and helping the murderer?"

Tiancai asked the last question.

The old man hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

"I guess some villagers are helping the murderer."

The unexpected answer aroused Tiancai's curiosity.

He asked, "What is the reason for you to make this judgment?"

The old man explained.

"In the face of murders, the situation in the village is very unusual. People are being killed one after another, but there is no sign of chaos in the village. I believe someone is helping the murderer and controlling order in the village."

"If according to common sense, the village chief is killed and a murderous monster appears in the village, everyone will unite and flee the village."

"Now that those people can't escape, someone must be secretly dividing everyone and helping the murderer achieve his goal."

Tiancai nodded.

"It is reasonable to speculate that without the help of others, it would be difficult for the murderer to create a quiet village waiting for death."

He looked at the old man and said.

"You can go back to your room now and take a nap. When you wake up, everything will be over."

The old man staggered back to the bedroom as if sleepwalking.

Soon, there was a faint sound coming from the bedroom.

After hearing the last answer, the surprise on Bai's face did not fade away for a long time.

He said with some disbelief, "There are actually villagers secretly helping the murderer."

Tiancai patted Bai's shoulder, "This is not surprising. Any bad thing is not done by one person."

"Continuously killing people according to targets in the village is such a troublesome and complicated matter. In other words, it is just because there are helpers that it makes sense."

Bai was a little hard to understand.

"But why would the villagers want to cooperate with the murderer? Aren't they afraid of being killed themselves?"

Tiancai said calmly.

There are many reasons for cooperation, including threats and inducements. These two alone are enough to turn most people from victims to accomplices. "

Bai said a little frustrated.

"I wanted to help the villagers catch the murderer and search for information about the murderer. Unexpectedly, there were people in the village who wanted to help the murderer kill people."

This reality made Bai a little frustrated. The villagers he wanted to help were hiding accomplices of the murderer.

He gritted his teeth, "I will arrest the murderer and the accomplice together."

Tiancai waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, as a ninja, you will encounter all kinds of weird things. Don't pay too much attention to those details. Once the murderer is caught, everything will come to light.

Tiancai said with certainty.

"Whether it's the murderer or the accomplice, none of them can escape."

Thinking about what just happened, Bai's face showed curiosity again.

He asked curiously, "Sir Tianming, how did you deduce that some villagers were helping the murderer."

This was also something he could never have guessed. He couldn't imagine that the villagers who were facing life and death threats were actually the accomplices of the murderer.

Tiancai smiled.

“I didn’t trust the information provided by the villagers, so I was more vigilant and found some doubts.

he explained.

"If it was just for revenge, the murderer would not kill Kimura Masamune so early. As the culprit, Kimura Masamune's death was too ordinary."

"The murderer came back for revenge more than ten years later. With such hatred, how could he let Masamune Kimura die so easily.

"Maybe the murderer is afraid of the Kusanagi sword held by Masamune Kimura?" Bai guessed.

Tiancai did not refute Bai's guess.

he continued.

"This is a possibility. It is assumed that the murderer judged the danger of Masamune Kimura and killed him in advance. But after this assumption, new doubts emerged."

"If the murderer had rationally judged the threat of Kimura Masamune and killed Kimura Masamune, then he should not continue to delay it for such a long time after Kimura Masamune's death. His rationality would tell him that staying in the village would It will be dangerous to attract ninjas."

"From the perspective of revenge, the murderer would not kill Masamune Kimura immediately. He should torture Masamune Kimura. From the perspective of safety, the murderer should leave as soon as possible after killing."
