Seireitei, the Second Division's barracks.

Kuchiki Hibiki sat alone in the prison, his face gloomy and terrible.

Being framed by someone he trusted made him feel grief and indignation, but he did not give up hope, because he firmly believed that his respected father-in-law would not believe in rumors!

For the sake of his son-in-law and the honor of the Kuchiki family, he would definitely find out the truth!

Looking at the closed prison door, Kuchiki Hibiki's eyes revealed a hint of expectation.

He hoped that in the next second, his respected father-in-law would come in from there and tell him that everything had been investigated and he was innocent?

Suddenly, he frowned because he heard the conversation between the guarding Shinigami.

"This is the first time I've seen a criminal live a more comfortable life than a guard."

"Say less, he is the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family after all, and the captain has also told us to take good care of him."

"Captain!?"

"That's right, Captain! It is said that we are asked to take care of him for the sake of Lord Aozaki, otherwise how could he be treated like this in prison?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Kuchiki Hibiki sat on the soft cushion, and his heart suddenly warmed.

I didn't expect that this good friend who I haven't seen for many days can help me at this time. This friend is really a good friend!

Kuchiki family.

Kuchiki Ginrei, sitting in the main seat, looked tired.

This kind of fatigue was not entirely caused by investigating the truth of the Kuchiki Hibiki incident, but more of it actually came from other noble forces.

Because of the incident of Kuchiki Hibiki, the nobles of the Tsunayashiro family criticized him and demanded that he be driven out of the Kuchiki family or executed.

On the other hand, members of the Kuchiki family and affiliated nobles demanded that Kuchiki Hibiki must be saved. They were very close to Kuchiki Hibiki and believed in his character.

Kuchiki Hibiki was sometimes emotionally unstable, but he would never show off his strength by using his teammates' lives.

Kuchiki Ginrei instinctively sensed something strange about Kuchiki Hibiki killing his teammates.

The timing of Tsunayashiro's intervention was too wrong, and he also knew what kind of person Kuchiki Hibiki was.

He could only be said to be a little arrogant, but it was nonsense to say that he was bloodthirsty.

Based on this judgment, he did not want to give up this son-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

And from his understanding, if it was really the other team members who took the initiative to surround and kill Kuchiki Hibiki, Kuchiki Hibiki might indeed kill them all in anger.

"It's a trap no matter how you look at it. When will this kid Hibiki grow up!"

Kuchiki Ginrei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Do we really have to go and talk to him about it, as Aozaki Mayu said?"

He had been stubborn all his life, and now he was finally shaken.

He agreed to Kuchiki Hibiki marrying into the Kuchiki family, which was actually a recognition of Kuchiki Hibiki. He really didn't want to see the child's life ruined.

"Master, the Tsunayashiro family is too much. They dared to frame Lord Hibiki. This is a provocation to our Kuchiki family!"

"We all know what Lord Hibiki is like. He would never do such a thing!"

"That's right. This must be a conspiracy of the Tsunayashiro family. We must not let them go."

"Our Kuchiki family has been tolerant for decades. Do we have to keep giving in to them?"

"We are the model of nobility, but we tolerate the Tsunayashiro family's wanton destruction of the order of the Soul Society. Isn't this a betrayal to Lord Soul King?"

In the meeting room, the members of the Kuchiki family, who always maintained aristocratic manners at all times, became fierce and agitated contrary to their usual behavior.

As the head of the family, Kuchiki Ginrei sat elegantly and calmly, with the same serious expression on his face as usual.

His majesty as the head of the family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With just a slight wave of his hand, the clan members stopped arguing.

Kuchiki Ginrei can understand his clan members.

The Kuchiki family claims to be a model of nobility, but they are also human beings. Facing the repeated provocations of the Tsunayashiro family, they have been dissatisfied for a long time. This time, Kuchiki Hibiki was imprisoned, which completely ignited the anger in their hearts.

He glanced at Kuchiki Sojun who was sitting next to him and asked, "What does the captain say?"

Kuchiki Sojun shook his head helplessly, "The captain has ordered the second, eighth and tenth squads to investigate, but there is no clue for the time being."

Kuchiki Ginrei heard this and closed his eyes and meditated.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on, but it is useless to see it. You have to rely on evidence when doing things.

This is the reason why the Central 46th Room exists, and it is also the reason why the order of the Soul Society has not collapsed until now due to the power struggle.

Even if they are nobles, no matter how much they do in secret, they must restrain themselves within the rules in public.

Kuchiki Hibiki slaughtered his colleagues, which is a common practice among many Tsunayashiro family members.The god of death saw it with his own eyes.

Even before the victim died, he said that Kuchiki Hibiki killed them to show off his strength.

Now we can only hope that the captain can find out the truth.

If it really doesn't work, the Kuchiki family is also one of the five great nobles. Even if they lose the false reputation of "noble model", they should not let people suffer for a false reputation.

Looking at the excited clan members in front of him, Kuchiki Ginrei sighed silently in his heart, as if he had made some kind of decision.

…………

In the captain's office of the first team.

While the Kuchiki family held a clan meeting, Yamamoto, Shifengyuan Yoruichi, Kyoraku Shunsui and Shiba Isshin were also in the office discussing the killing of teammates by Kuchiki Hibiki.

Kyoraku Shunsui rarely showed a serious expression, and said in a deep voice:

"According to the clues we have obtained so far, it was Kuchiki Hibiki who killed the special forces soldiers to show off his force."

Shiba Isshin sighed and said, "But this reason is really hard to believe. I have carried out missions with Captain Hibiki, and it is hard to imagine that he is such a person."

Shifengyuan Yoruichi told the people in the office about the secret investigation, and then said:

"The Tsunayashiro family has had a secret gathering recently, and they are all discussing Kuchiki Hibiki's affairs. I suspect that this matter was directed and acted by the Tsunayashiro family themselves."

Kyoraku Shunsui just subconsciously wanted to tease her that she should not criticize the five nobles, but when he thought of the three words "Shifengyuan" in the other party's name, he chose to shut up.

As one of the five nobles, there is no such thing as killing someone for saying a few bad words.

Yamamoto asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any evidence?"

"No, but I think they have this motive." Shifengyuan Yoruichi said seriously: "The rebels lost five captain-level strongmen in the war."

Yamamoto understood what she meant.

This is the so-called tree attracts the wind and harming others for self-interest.

Kuchiki Hibiki is a captain-level strongman of the Kuchiki family. He has been in the limelight in recent years and will naturally enter the vision of the Tsunayashiro family.

The Kuchiki family lost a captain-level strongman and weakened its strength. In contrast, the strength of the Tsunayashiro family, as its opponent, has increased.

"The Central 46th Office will hold a meeting tonight. Be prepared." Yamamoto sighed and spoke slowly.
