"Although he is useless and scheming, he has been fond of forming cliques for personal gain since he was a child. He is very dissatisfied with me, my eldest brother."
"But he seemed to suddenly wake up after his death. He didn't ask me to avenge him, he just asked me to think of a way to satisfy him by finding a way to make him a monster."
When the subordinates heard this, they didn't dare to express their anger and lowered their heads one after another.
As if Takaji Masato didn't notice it, he continued to talk to himself.
"I will be very happy if Cheng thinks this way. He can finally get rid of greed and jealousy. Even if I usually dislike his style, he is still my brother."
"Go and prepare the money, and then go meet the murderer of my brother tomorrow."
After that, he threw his head back and fell asleep. The car started slowly and was submerged in the neon lights.
"What a beautiful day."
Today's shrine is still deserted. It is better to say that outside of the New Year, small shrines are so deserted.
After all, there is no reputation, and there are no festivals or the like, so naturally few people pay attention to it on weekdays.
Soga Ai did not go to school today, so it was rare for the shrine to see Soga Ai change out of her uniform and black stockings and put on a miko costume.
The loose scarlet hakama concealed the girl's figure, but the white miko uniform contrasted with Soga Ai's usual dark-colored outfits, which made it feel quite different.
The flower branches that were planted on my head yesterday were buried in the courtyard. Maybe there will be an additional cherry blossom tree in the shrine soon.
Sogaai was cleaning the shrine, and Hina was waving the broom in the same way, but with her small body shape, she looked cute and interesting.
Looking at the girl's exquisite figure, Shengong felt physically and mentally comfortable, and for a while he had no motivation to go out.
After all, why did he go out?
But it was obvious that I couldn't just lie down leisurely all day.
Takaji Masato led two of his subordinates up the stone steps and followed the shrine to the shrine.
The unkind atmosphere of the visitor filled the shrine. Sogai and Hina put down their brooms, while Tamamo-mae pricked up her ears in the room.
"Hello, Mr. Jingu, or Lord Kami, my name is Masato Takaji, and Makoto Takaji is my incompetent younger brother."
In front of his enemies, he still maintains a calm attitude.
Wearing a colorful beach shirt and shorts, he looked immodest, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.
"That's it. I thought your Yingji family would use your power to do something, but in the end, they came directly to the door."
Jingu put down his tea cup and stood up. He was obviously shorter than them in height, but at this moment he had an indescribable power.
The sky gradually became overcast, and the wind seemed to have picked up. Housewives on the street complained and put away their clothes. After all, it might rain soon.
"So, Lord Jingu admits that you killed my brother?"
Yingji Masato remained calm and didn't know what he was relying on.
"That's right. After all, he couldn't stand my teasing and finally chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building."
What was unexpected was that Masato Takaji actually clapped his hands and said, "Well said, if you play tricks, the weak will be played by the strong."
"A-Cheng is just too weak. He is so weak that he can be played with without realizing how weak he is."
Chapter 24 Trading
After saying that, Takaji Masato asked the person behind him to open the box he was carrying.
The bright Fukuzawa Yukichi were placed in piles in the box, and the sudden unfolding made everyone stunned.
"Your Excellency Jingu, the grudge between you and my brother will be wiped out with his death, and we will never talk about this matter again."
Takaji Masato's words made people even more confused. Did he mean not only not to pursue the matter, but also to use money to ease the relationship?
"There are [-] million here. I would like to use this plus my friendship to hire Lord Jingu to find out the cause of Taka Sicheng's death."
The atmosphere froze for a moment, Shengong glanced at the piles of banknotes in the box, and said immediately.
"Money is fine, but I don't talk about relationships with men."
"It's easy to say, then this [-] million will be used as a deposit, and after the truth comes out, an additional [-] million will be added as a reward."
Takaji Masato was not angry, and the unexpected unfolding left everyone else stunned.
"Don't be stunned, Ai, go and move a chair for the sponsor to sit down and talk slowly."
The atmosphere relaxed strangely. Jingu and Takaji Masato sat opposite each other. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, causing many people to feel depressed about the strange weather.
"Why do you think it's not because of me, Ying Sicheng, that I died?"
Jingu was the first to ask. No matter how you look at it, Ying Sicheng was obviously forced to death by him.
"There are several reasons. First, although Acheng is extremely greedy for power, he has always been a man who knows how to protect himself wisely."
"He knows that he can't compete with me in his family, so in order to avoid being killed by me, he takes the initiative not to compete with me but seeks help from other external forces. How could he rashly attack a god like this?"
When it came to killing his younger brother, Masato Takaji remained calm-faced, even looking like it was something that should have happened.
"So you think there must be someone advocating or inducing him to take the initiative to offend me?"
"That's for sure." Masato Takaji took out his cigarette and asked.
"Can I have a cigarette?"
"Please go ahead."
Takaji Masato took a deep breath, and then continued: "This is not a big problem, but the real doubt lies in yesterday."
"Yesterday I saw the ghost of Ying Sicheng, and he actually told me that he didn't want to pray for his revenge, he just hoped that I could help him live like a monster and ghost."
"Doesn't it sound reasonable at first glance?" Jingu asked puzzledly.
Takaji Masato sneered: "If he really looked away and didn't pray for revenge, why would he think about jumping off the building? Then he would try to survive after committing suicide?"
"Don't you all regret it after you die? This is normal."
"Even so, he shouldn't forget that as a member of the Takashi family, he will be put in the Kasuga Taisha Shrine after his death. What do you mean by turning into a demon and surviving?"
Masato Takaji crushed the cigarette butt violently and blew out a burst of green smoke.
"The so-called dead soul is either manipulated or fake, because I can't find where his soul went from his body."
"So he was too weak. He was played by others when he was alive, and he was played by others even after he died."
"I can accept his weakness, because His Excellency Jingu is indeed powerful enough. He is so powerful that I won't say anything even if you play with Taka Sicheng openly."
"But a group of rats in the shadows are also plotting and playing tricks on my brother.
Brother, you even dare to hit me on the head. This is to make me lose all face. "
Jingu quietly listened to Takaji Masato's words. He didn't have any thoughts about it. Whether it was the so-called brotherhood or the glory of the clan had nothing to do with him.
It's just that this approach seems a bit familiar.
After saying this long series of words, Takaji Masato took a few deep breaths and immediately returned to his nonchalant look.
"So, Your Majesty Jingu, the other party actually wants to use you to divert attention to plot against me, so I will ask you to help me deal with them."
That's right, the focus of the calculation is not the shrine. If it was just to provoke the shrine to be targeted, then the ghost of Ying Sicheng should not have appeared. It would only increase suspicion.
So, could it be that he really had the idea of replacing Takaji Makoto and then breaking into Takaji's family?
Thinking of this, Shengong said: "If you say so, I do have some clues."
So, he told what happened at Mrs. Nishikata's house the day before yesterday.
After hearing about the shadow ghost replacing the dead, Takaji Masato was thoughtful.
"If this is really the case, then we have no choice but to ask Your Majesty Jingu."
"Knowing that it's probably these shadow ghosts who are causing trouble, can't you just solve it yourself?"
"No, no." Masato Takaji showed a helpless smile.
"Although the Wushe family is huge, its branches and leaves are lush, and a single move can affect the whole body. I don't know where these shadow ghosts are hiding, and how many people they have secretly replaced. If I were to deal with it, I am afraid they would have fled long ago."
"That's okay, there's money to be made anyway."
The shrine doesn't matter, there is a fox and a miko to raise at home.This incident was a bit interesting. The people behind the scenes took advantage of him, which also gave him some motivation to find out the truth.
"Then please." Masato Takaji stood up, and the person behind him left a box full of money.
"Then I'll take my leave first. Please keep today's matters a secret."
"Then I won't send it off, go slowly."
Jingu didn't even bother to get up and watched the other party leave. After Takaji Masato left, Sogai approached and asked with some worry.
"no problem?"
The Shrine Palace understood what Su Gaai meant, and she was worried that there was another conspiracy in this matter. After all, Ying Sicheng's Palace of Death must be a large part of the reason.
"Don't worry, that guy probably won't make a fuss about this." Tamamo Mae opened the door and went out. She had been hiding in the house eating melon.
"They value face more than family ties. If Ying Sicheng's death is all the fault of the Shrine, they may do it at all costs."
"But now they have a way to regain face without paying the price."
Jingu picked up the heavy cash box, weighed it twice, and smiled.
"Just take the money. If I show enough strength when I deal with those guys, they will easily pass the responsibility on to those guys, and then say that they and I are friends, and it was just a misunderstanding with Taka Sicheng."
"If I show that I'm tired or weak, they won't mind putting me in the same group of guys to make themselves look good."
When Jingu said this, Sugai quickly understood the twists and turns and quickly felt relieved.
As long as there is no conspiracy, there is nothing to worry about.
"Then Lord Jingu, where do you plan to start the investigation? Do you need love to change clothes now?"
Soga likes to mention Hakama. This miko costume is not suitable for action. Maybe it would be good to go back to the armpit-revealing miko costume that Jingu-sama mentioned before?
"It doesn't have to be like this, huh?" Shengong reluctantly took Su Gaiai's hand.
"I'm going out to do business, do you want to follow me?"
“Can’t love follow?”
For Su Gaai, letting Jingu go out alone means a crisis.
But is what she said really useful?
