Chapter 214 Your Second Uncle's, Monthly Pass)
"Sir, this is the Uenin from Konoha..."
After the three of them hurried to Daming's dormitory, the chief guard immediately whispered to the person who was leading among the people present.
After hearing the guard's words, the "adult" raised his eyebrows calmly, then immediately walked towards Hanyu with a wry smile, and then introduced his identity.
"Mr. Hanyu, I am Inkubo... I really didn't expect that you would actually see such a scene."
In any case, for the nobles of the Kingdom of Fire, it is the best thing that a Konoha Gumini appears at this time.
Before coming to Daming City this time, Hansheng had a brief understanding of the composition of Daming's clan relatives. This "Master Renkubo" is the top priority because he is the dead Daming's uncle.
And just from the two words Hitokubo said, it can be heard that he had begun to vaguely tell Hanyu that Daimyo's death had nothing to do with him.
Hanyu is not just a sunin now. Because he appears at a special time, it can even be said that his role is similar to that of Naruto... He represents Konoha's attitude.
Lord Renkubo was still a little guilty because he was more worried about Konoha's people thinking that he had lost Daming than those who suspected Konoha had lost Daming.
After all, who is the most profitable and who has the most motive for the crime... The things that Daime does in private are naturally hidden from others, so no one knows Konoha's disgusting attitude towards Daime.
"Sir Renkubo, are you gathering the people in this room? Are they... reliable?"
"Yes, after all, the matter is too serious... Everyone is a relative of Daming and the pillar of the Kingdom of Fire, so there will be no problem."
Whoever believes this sentence is a fool. Just from the first impression, Hanyu can tell that a considerable number of people in this room are lazy and edible borers of the Fire Kingdom.
Hanyu glanced at Hitokubo deeply, and then everything was silent.
In any case, there are too many people in this room. Daming's death is a bit unfamous. If you want to protect Daming's reputation, the fewer people are present, the better. But now, there are too many people and talkative, and there is actually no meaning in keeping confidential...
But this is the power struggle, and Inkubo does not need to protect the reputation of the dead Daming.
You know, Hitokubo's brother is Daming, and his nephew is Daming. Although everyone has the same bloodline and is equally noble, he is only an ordinary noble because he was born a little later... It should have been like this, but now the opportunity is here.
Renkubo looks only in his thirties, and the dead Daming is younger, and Daming has no children. What else can I say about all this?
"I... let's take a look at Daming's situation first."
Hanyu said this, and after Inkubo nodded, he walked towards the bed and started the inspection in a pretentious manner.
"The time of death should be around 2 a.m. Daming himself was cut off with a knife. The murderer did not hesitate at all. The man next to him was broken at the same time. Neither of them struggled at all. This shows that the murderer's goal is clear and he was deliberately done... it should be done by the ninja."
The murderer himself is a coroner, so of course he will carry some private goods in the autopsy report. It is obvious that the dead ninja and Daming's death time is three or five minutes short, but Hanyu said that they died at the same time.
What does it mean to die at the same time? Isn’t it just to confirm that they died in bed at the same time?
"The murderer was very cautious, leaving no useful clues, and even the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime. What is the identity of this person around Daming?"
After a brief inspection, Hanyu stood up and he came to some confusing "conclusions"... People as bold as Hanyu are rare. It would be fine if he returned to the crime scene openly, but he even came back with a weapon.
As long as someone checks his weapon and compares it with Daming's wound, it will definitely cause suspicion. However... no one will do that to him. Hanyu is a ninja and it is reasonable to carry a knife with him.
More importantly, Lord Hitokubo is a very good person. Hanyu's death judgment made by Daimyo as a ninja is very authoritative. More importantly, this conclusion is beneficial to Hitokubo, so he continued:
"Mr. Hanyu, the other dead man was a ninja that Daming was very 'popular'... and we also think that the person who took action was a ninja, because no one noticed the abnormality that night. It was not until dawn the next day that someone noticed the situation here."
He bit the word "Pampering" very hard, and the meaning in his words was self-evident... This man was silently joining forces with Hanyu to pinch the shit on Daming.
Daming is really unfair, but the dead cannot defend himself.
And it cannot be said that what Renkubo said was false. If Daime did not trust this ninja, would he be allowed to stay at the door of his bedroom? That ninja is so handsome that he is not as pleasing to those Konoha ninjas who put their hideous masks on their faces all day long... but this kind of trust is not as favored as it is.
Then, Renkubo continued to explain, "Before, Daming had no idea why he repatriated Konoha's guardian ninjas and then recruited many wandering ninjas. Now... Daming has indeed paid the price for his credulity and misunderstanding.
After Daimyo's death, a large part of the ninjas he recruited escaped, while the remaining small part occupied the main hall of the palace, and is now trying to negotiate with us."
Hanyu smiled bitterly, meaning "I was so unlucky that I actually encountered such a broken thing."
He followed, "There were some turmoil at the wedding of the three generations of Naruto, which led to the envoys of various countries staying in Konoha. Originally, my team's mission was to monitor Yunyin's envoys' departure, and the third generation of Naruto asked me to come to Daming City on the way back to explain to Daming that the envoys of Daming were unfortunately dying in Konoha and protecting the Twelve Ninjas...
Who would have thought that this would happen?”
Hanyu seemed to be complaining, but in fact, he was quietly eliminating the suspicion in himself and giving a reasonable explanation for his timely appearance.
"Are those wandering ninjas... suspected of committing crimes?"
"I don't know very well, but the part of the ninjas left seemed to want to get the mission fund that Daming had agreed with them before leaving." Inkubo said.
The shit basin can be stolen on Daming, but Daming's death is a very serious matter after all, so he dare not talk about the murderer.
Anyway, it wasn't done by Hitokubo, and it was even more impossible for Konoha Ninja to do it. Isn't that going to end?
Hanyu frowned. Those wandering ninjas who escaped were not so smart, at least they were brainy. However, the ones who were left behind were really idiots. Do they know how serious it is for Daming to die? Will Konoha ignore it? If Konoha sends ninjas, what are they?
"There are too few traces at the scene. I suspect that the murderer didn't even stay in this dormitory for 30 seconds in total, so... it's meaningless to expose Daming's body like this. Please restrain him." Then, Hanyu leaned closer to Hitokubo's ear and said, "It's a bit ugly. It's a bit ugly for Daming."
Renkubo nodded and said, "What Lord Hanyu said is, everyone, let's retreat for the time being if you are fine. Send someone to restrain Daming's body. We will definitely investigate the case to the end."
Two people who ruined Daming's reputation are now pretending to protect Daming's reputation. These two guys are really funny.
Hitokubo seemed to be quite prestigious. After he finished speaking, no one opposed it. The nobles obediently began to leave.
It is conceivable that a large number of people cannot control their mouths, and the news of Daming's death will spread quickly. However, compared to "Daming was assassinated", the focus of public opinion will be more on the weird point of "Daming and a man died in bed"... Because the secrets of nobles are always talked about by people, and curiosity is something that no one can stop.
But such news will only be rumored news. In order to deal with such rumor, the most likely official characterization of Daming's death is the "sudden disease" death that Hanyu mentioned earlier. As for the investigation of the case, it will only be carried out secretly.
Moreover, Hanyu was suspicious, just judging from the attitude that Hitokubo had just shown. After he succeeded as Daming, would he have the leisure to investigate the cause of his previous generation Daming?
It's so bad that Daming is just his nephew, not his real father.
"Sir Hanyu, what should we do next?"
As everyone retreated, the people in the Miyagi began to sort out Daming's appearance and restrain their bodies, Hitokubo asked Hanyu again.
"Anyway... let's deal with those ignorant wandering ninjas first."
Hanyu thought to catch the scapegoat first... The murderer must be unable to find it, but those wandering ninjas could barely explain this matter.
