Chapter 85 Maid, Assassin, Eldest Sister of the Shadow
Huiyuan thought he heard wrongly: "Mai...servant?"

The situation of the Yukinoshita family is actually very poor, and in addition to this era, why do they still have maids?

"Only the name is left." Lingli explained.

"The Matsumoto family has followed the Yukinoshita family since the Edo period." Reisato explained, "Although the Yukinoshita family later declined and the master-servant relationship was no longer appropriate, due to the deep connection between the two families, the servants of the past generations The relationship is still maintained.”

"More specifically, the relationship between Matsumoto Setsuko, Yukinoshita Katsumi and others is not so much a maid and a master, but rather a family with different surnames but eating and living together."

"According to neighbors and acquaintances..." Reisato quickly turned the page of the PPT, "The way Setsuko Matsumoto gets along with the Yukinoshita family - it can be said that she is the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Yukinoshita. Saya’s sister.”

Hui Yuanchu nodded, but he felt a little weird.

As mentioned in the previous background investigation, Yukinoshita Saya is now living completely alone, so there is a lack of care.The reason is that her father is dead and her aunt barely cares about her.

But according to that, shouldn't she have an unrelated sister?
and--

"In the conversation between Yukinoshita and Saya, Setsuko Matsumoto was not mentioned at all."

Rei Li sighed and said: "Because according to the data...Setsuko Matsumoto disappeared more than a year ago.

"--what?"

"Disappeared for no reason. The reporter was Yukinoshita Katsumi. According to his testimony, it was said that Setsuko Matsumoto went shopping that evening and never came back - but indeed, the police did not find any information about Setsuko Matsumoto. Any trace of the child."

"Then when she appeared again, she became a spiritual ascendant?" Hui Yuanchu murmured to himself, "What happened?"

Zhe Lukui thoughtfully said: "No, what I'm more curious about is - what is the purpose of her appearance this time?"

Hui Yuanchu blurted out: "Protect Yukinoshita Saya and kill Yukinoshita Strings."

"why?"

Arthur didn't know when he woke up, and seemed to come over with interest: "Because according to what Haibara overheard, Yukinoshita Strings covets the Yuki Totsuto in Saya's hand?"

"That's right." Hui Yuan nodded, then turned to look at Rei to confirm, "——We should be able to 100% confirm that the famous sword is indeed held by the Yukinoshita family, right?"

Rei Li rolled his eyes at the two of them, but still switched to the PPT.

"The Intelligence Analysts from the Intelligence Department have the results. Katsumi Yukinoshita has indeed obtained the famous sword Yuki Tetsu. It is not 100%, but the credibility should be above [-]%." She replied.

In fact, this rumor has been around for a long time, mainly because Yukinoshita Katsumi's rise as an ancient swordsmith was too sudden.Although he claimed to have found the buried forging script of his ancestors from the cellar of his home, other colleagues still suspected that he had more "physical" information at hand.

In other words, a truly famous ancient forge.

In fact, even if the ancestors did have a history of forging knives, an ordinary person who has had nothing to do with forging knives for several generations suddenly vowed to become a knifesmith again... It is indeed a bit abrupt.

But if you take into account the factors of Xue Che Dao, it will explain a lot.

Perhaps it was precisely because Katsumi Yukinoshita obtained the Yuki Tetsuto by chance that he was inspired to reshape Yukinoshita's glory, and he also gained confidence in whether he could succeed.

However, Yukinoshita Katsumi has never admitted this in the past.

This is also easy to understand.

If Katsuki Yukinoshita really has the Yuki Tetsuto, he will definitely regard it as a treasure more precious than his own life.

This is not just a matter of a "treasure sword", nor is it just an issue of a "family heirloom sword".

It’s not even about the priceless inspiration and technical reference that a good knife can bring to a knife maker.

Most importantly, Katsumi's highest goal is to reproduce the Yukinoshita family's sword-forging skills.So Xue Che, the highest masterpiece in family history, is naturally his biggest inspiration.

But it just so happens that an antique and a famous sword are enough to attract enough covetation from other angles.Among them, there are many who have enough power.

And with Yukinoshita's current social status, he simply couldn't resist.

Therefore, Yukinoshita Katsumi did not admit that he owned the Yuki Tetsuto, and no one had ever seen the Yuki Tetsuto.

So, rumors are always just rumors
Until this time, Yukinoshita's strings completely solidified this inference.Not with words, but with actions.

The fact that Representative Yasuda intervened is the strongest proof that Yuki Tetsuto really exists.

String said Katsumi hid the knife so she didn't get a chance to see it...but she must have seen it at least once.

Otherwise, where did Representative Yasuda get the information about the knife in Katsumi's hand?
Apart from Katsumi, he was one of the few people who knew that this sword was in Katsumi's hands, and he was an antique dealer, and he had managed to persuade Katsumi to give up the Snow Sword several times...

It is impossible not to doubt her role in this matter.

"If you put it that way... maybe there is something wrong with Katsumi Yukinoshita's death?" Arthur touched his chin and said, "We didn't even know he was murdered before..."

Having said this, everyone's eyes naturally turned to Ling Li.

Rei Li had mentioned before that she was tracking the files related to Katsumi's death. Naturally, everyone wanted to know what new news there was.

But her face looked a little ashamed.

"Can't find it." She lowered her head and whispered.

Even in the archives of the National Police Agency, she could not find any files or physical evidence related to Yukinoshita Katsumi.

In other words, the fact that "Yukikinoshita Katsumi was murdered" only exists in the mouths of a few witnesses - such as Katsumi's disciple Shimokawa mentioned by String.

As Stringer said, these witnesses now seem to have "disappeared."

Therefore, from any direction that can verify its authenticity, this matter and related evidence do not exist.

"Wait a minute - if this case does not exist, then what is the man named Xiachuan running from?" Haiyuan Chu raised his hand and asked, "Since the case does not exist, then the wanted order does not exist either?"

Liori nodded and said, "Yes, I checked all the wanted order numbers from the date of the incident to now, but I couldn't find Shimokawa's name."

"But Shimokawa still escaped, and he has been running away for a long time." Arthur said leisurely, "So - this case must have existed before."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

It seems that the question is no longer "is there a problem?" but "what is the problem?"

Someone has rigged around this, and done it very cleanly.

The group can find the hidden ones, but cannot restore the deleted ones.

"Did Representative Yasuda arrange it?" Hai Yuan could only speculate this way, "Only a big shot like him can do such a thing by influencing the National Police Agency, right?"

"Yes, but is it necessary? Just for an antique that may bring bad luck to you?" Orokui glanced at him, looking disapproving.

Hui Yuanchu could only shrug, thinking who knew what the big shot was thinking.

Zhe Lukui pondered for a moment and then said decisively: "Don't worry about this or this problem. I'll know later when I ask the string string."

"Let's first assume that this is really the case, that Yukinoshita Strings colluded with the council members, and did not hesitate to kill people in order to seize the Yukiteshvara sword - so it can be deduced that Matsumoto Setsuko came to protect Saya and kill Strings. ?”

Hui Yuan nodded.

"But have you ever thought that without you, Matsumoto Setsuko's last knife would have cut off the entire building, just like Aoyama Apartment..." Orilu Aoi glanced at Haiyuanchu, "——And that At that time, Yukinoshita Saya was in the building."

Hui Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Compared with the embarrassment of finding out that he hadn't thought carefully, another thing that suddenly occurred to him made him feel even more chilled.

"...We seem to have discussed before, if the mysterious person in Aoyama Apartment is Yukinoshita Saya..." He whispered.

"Then she was almost killed at least twice." Zhe Lukui said thoughtfully.
