Chapter 35 Mio Mio, do it?
Suzuki Shota was sitting in the back seat of a black car counting money.
He is from Kong Shiyu's side, and his main business is the underground transactions between the sorcery world and non-sorcerers, which is an industry that cannot be any grayer.
Business has been bad in recent years. For some reason, an underground bar appeared in Shin-Okubo, the most chaotic place. Many magicians and non-magicians would meet there, and spontaneous transactions made it completely useless for middlemen like them. This time, he finally got a big deal, and the deposit was paid in advance. He could make a small profit and go to Ginza to have a drink and watch a show.
"Hey."
Suzuki Shota lit a cigarette and sat in the spacious black car. His attitude was particularly comfortable - his mission this time was brought to him by a non-magician. The other party claimed that her father died suddenly after being targeted by a strange creature, and her husband also fell ill, and now she was the only one left.
Tsk.
It sounds like this kind of cursed spirit is a piece of cake, and Suzuki Shota can even solve it himself, but seeing that the other party doesn't quite understand the market rules, he raises the price and raises the price of solving this problem to 30 million yen. Then he plays the role of "the sorcerer who solves the problem" and plans to take the 30 million for himself.
He and the other party agreed to meet here - the car was his own, and the other party put money in the car as he requested.
As soon as Suzuki Shota opened the car door, he put the suitcase containing 30 million yen in cash on the back seat. After counting the money with great satisfaction, he sat lazily in the back seat waiting for someone. Until the car door was opened, a woman who looked beautiful and gentle, like a Yamato Nadeshiko, sat in.
Suzuki Shota said in a pretentious manner: "Ms. Kobayashi, I already know about the situation of your father and husband--"
"No, I don't think you know." Kagura Mio turned her face slightly, with an indescribable smile in her eyes.
Suzuki Shota was stunned.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the housewife in front of him looked a little too imposing... Her tone of voice was so gentle, but there was a sense of oppression that no one could dispute.
No, that's not right. How could a sorcerer like him be scared by an ordinary housewife? It must be an illusion -
"Suzuki Shouta, a middleman roaming on the edge of the sorcery world, has started doing some shameful and dirty jobs himself in recent years due to the decrease in business. Although he can make a lot of money every time, he is always short of money because he cannot save it. His character weaknesses are that he is irritable, flammable and explosive, and short-sighted and easily broken."
Kagura Mio looked at the man in front of her whose face was getting worse and worse, and released the pressure of a special-grade sorcerer in front of him without any scruples. Seeing him go from being angry at the beginning to wanting to deal with her and then to being obediently restrained, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"It seems that the intelligence of this bar is quite accurate."
Go back and praise Huibara and Mingming, they did a good job and give them a raise.
Being able to accurately say "bar" and having such an intimidating aura, it was obvious that the other party was a sorcerer, and his level was much higher than his. Suzuki Shota quickly gave in and asked fearfully: "You, who are you..." "
Who am I? Guess?" Kagura Mio didn't intend to pay attention to him and went straight to the point, "It was you who introduced the notorious curse masters Hachiya siblings to Ikeda Nagaichi back then, right?"
Suzuki Shota didn't expect to be asked this question, and his eyes widened instantly.
The unbearable memories of the past were still before his eyes, and the pain of having his dignity lost and being ruthlessly humiliated by the other party made him even more uncomfortable, so he took a small revenge...
He took a deep breath and heard the woman beside him say in a calm tone: "Now I want to ask you a few questions, please tell me everything you know, otherwise I will absolutely--"
Kagura Mio didn't finish her words, she watched Suzuki Shota open the car door and ran out without hesitation.
As expected.
Kagura Mio shook her head helplessly, not caring about Suzuki Shota's escape at all, because a few seconds later -
the car door was opened again, and Suzuki Shota was kicked in, and he fell on the back seat of the car. Kagura Mio looked at Suzuki Shota, who was full of panic, with a bit of disgust, and then met Gojo Satoru's gaze.
The white-haired man was wearing a black eye mask and was sitting with his long legs apart. The two men squeezed Suzuki Shota in the middle, one on each side, leaving him no room to hide.
"Don't be afraid, Gojo-sensei is a very nice person."
Gojo Satoru glanced at the shivering Suzuki Shota and pulled his eye mask. "It seems that even people who are flammable and explosive have to bow their heads in the face of absolute strength."
He has recently fallen in love with wearing an eye mask for a simple reason - it was put on him by his super cute girlfriend Mio! From now on, Gojo Satoru's true form is an eyepatch!
Of course, let's not talk about this for now. Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and lowered his head slightly, looking at Suzuki Shota who was like a puddle of mud in front of him. His tone was full of the strongest and unquestionable pressure: "So, dear Suzuki classmate, shall we start the discussion?"
"As for the opportunity for Hachiya and Ikeda to meet, there is indeed still a little short of it..." Kagura Mio looked at the sorted out confession of Suzuki Shota, sighed softly, put the report on the table, and frowned slightly.
The investigation into the relationship between these three people may have originated from the last time she treated Ikeda Nagaichi.
She was indeed somewhat curious about the Houya siblings, and somehow felt that she could obtain some information, so she wanted to follow the clues and mentioned the matter to Gojo Satoru.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had the same feeling: some time ago, Gojo Satoru looked at the cases in recent years sorted out by Ijichi Jieko, and found that Ijichi Jieko was completely unaware of the death of the Hachiya siblings - this was clearly a task assigned to Kagura Mio by the High School, and it was kept in the archives of the High School. With Ijichi Jieko's meticulous nature, it is impossible for her not to know.
Plus, he ruled out the possibility that the people who went to investigate never returned...
"In other words... someone erased this case? Why?" Kagura Mio asked with a frown.
"The dead can't speak, but the filth of their existence can't be erased." Gojo Satoru glanced at Kagura Mio, raised his eyebrows, and smiled wantonly, "Mio, do it?"
"Investigate the case." Kagura Mio was too lazy to deal with this scumbag. The two of them followed the relationship between the Hachiya siblings and Ikeda, and followed the clues from Haibara Yu to find Suzuki Shouta, and sorted out the information based on the information given by Suzuki Shouta.
"It is known that the Hachiya siblings were born in Fukuoka. Because they committed a serious crime, they were wanted as death row criminals by the magic world and fled all the way to Hokkaido. The timeline you two are looking for should be before they committed the serious crime. But the relevant intelligence and data do not show that the Hachiya siblings have ever been active in Kyoto." Ijichi Jiegao pursed his lips and looked at Gojo Satoru with some trepidation.
Gojo Satoru looked at Kagura Mio.
At this moment, the woman in front of him was looking down at relevant information, looking thoughtful.
Gojo Satoru was also quite patient. He folded his hands across his chest, lazily sitting on his roller skates and swaying back and forth, looking very contented.
After a long time, Kagura Mio blinked her long eyelashes.
"I have an idea."
She raised her head and looked at Gojo Satoru.
"So we came to Kyoto~" Gojo Satoru followed Kagura Mio. Katsuo Furukawa wiped the sweat from his forehead helplessly, and then put the luggage of the two guys in place.
Iori Utahime stared at Gojo Satoru for a few seconds with a look that said "I don't want to know him", and finally sighed resignedly: "Why is this guy everywhere?"
Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows and spoke arrogantly, completely unaware that Iori Utahime hated him: "Come on, Utahime, this is Mio and my hometown, what's wrong with going back to visit your relatives?"
Iori Utahime was too lazy to even look at him, stared at Kagura Mio, took a deep breath, and said: "You are really tolerant." She
can even tolerate a retard like Gojo Satoru.
Kagura Mio smiled, and made a decision in the resentful eyes of Angeki: "Satoru, I have an appointment with Mr. Ikeda. Let's set off now without further delay."
Yes, Kagura Mio decided to come directly to Kyoto to ask Ikeda Nagaichi.
Of course, Ikeda Nagaichi himself would definitely not be willing to tell the truth - the last time Kagura Mio saw in his mind was a scene wrapped in black mist. It was obvious that the other party seemed to be unwilling to be seen by others, or unwilling to recall this memory herself.
That's why Kagura Mio didn't look carefully last time.
But she left herself a small means of eavesdropping - she did it when she was giving psychiatric treatment to Nagaichi Ikeda. As long as she could also give physical therapy to Nagaichi Ikeda this time, she would be able to successfully see what the truth was beneath the white fog in his head.
Fortunately, she has always been calm and composed, and Ikeda Nagaichi has a high degree of trust in her. In the end, he agreed with Kagura Mio's idea of going out for the consultation.
The sun was setting and approaching dusk when Kagura Mio walked out of the Hachiya residence.
She looked at the tall and handsome man waiting by the car, and suddenly a strange feeling came over her: She felt that this was actually quite good - she found Gojo Satoru waiting for her when she got off work...
No, no, this was not a love line.
Kagura Mio shook her head, clearing all the strange thoughts from her mind.
"Where are we going now?" Gojo Satoru didn't rush to ask Kagura Mio what was going on. Instead, Kagura Mio closed her eyes and looked at Gojo Satoru: "Let's go back to my home."
"Oh?" This time Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows curiously, "When did the young lady become so homesick? Am I not your home?"
Kagura Mio was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly told him the conclusion: "When Ikeda Nagaichi was competing with others, Suzuki Shota recommended the ruthless Hachiya siblings to him. As a result, the Hachiya siblings were expelled by Ikeda Nagaichi because they were out of control, and they held a grudge and cast a small curse on Ikeda Nagaichi's three sons. The eldest son died because he failed to break the curse in time."
"Ikeda Nagaichi, who lost his son, was extremely angry and sent people to deal with Suzuki Shota."
"······I see." Katsuo Furukawa, who was driving the car in the front seat, looked thoughtful as he was eating melons.
Gojo Satoru nonchalantly reminded Furukawa Katsuo: "Hey, drive carefully, okay? Don't forget your job."
What Gojo Satoru said was simply ridiculous.
But Furukawa Katsuyuki didn't dare to have a head-on conflict with Gojo Satoru, so he turned to ask Kagura Mio: "Go back to Kagura's house?"
Kagura Mio confirmed again.
She looked at Gojo Satoru's profile, which was like a Greek sculpture, and an idea slowly took shape in her mind as the events of the Hougu siblings occurred.
"You asked me to come here just to read books? Mio Mio, I didn't realize you're reading books instead of playing games." Gojo Satoru looked at Kagura Mio who was looking for something near the bookshelf in an unskilled manner, and he raised his leg before her, stretched out his hand, and helped her take down all the books on the top shelf.
This is the library of the Kagura family.
As a thousand-year-old family, the Kagura family's library has many books, but the majority of them are analyses of various techniques.
Unfortunately, the last time Kagura Mio's technique appeared in the Kagura family was in the Heian period a thousand years ago, so finding the relevant documents is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It was understood that she wanted to find a solution through the ancestral books, but Gojo Satoru was a naturally bad-mouthed person, and he and Kagura Mio made a big fuss in the library before they got to the point.
Because of the bumpy journey, and the fact that they had a DNA condition that caused them to get headaches when they saw books as a child, the two of them fell asleep in the library, one on each side.
Kagura Mio was sent to the Gojo family when she was five years old. In fact, she did not have a deep impression of her own home, nor did she have any special memories. There were only occasional fragments -
when she was very young, she was led by a servant to this library. What was she doing at that time? It was as if she had accidentally walked here and then heard something -
[You have never been a genius, you are my test subject]
[You can't escape, this is your fate, and also Gojo Satoru's destiny]
[You will XXX······and then XXX]
[Kagura Mio, I am you and you are me]
This, this voice······
Where has she heard it before!
Kagura Mio's eyes widened instantly, and all her sleepiness was dispelled.
She instinctively felt that every cell in her body was screaming and roaring, and the fear that came from beneath her skin at any time overwhelmed her in an instant.
Who is it? !
