The main Hokage man will only hinder my speed in making hand seals

As the medicine seller finished speaking, a strong wind blew up in the courtyard, and everyone felt a chill on their backs.

It was not safe outside, so everyone went back inside.

Mao's body was placed in the inner room, and the former head of the family was guarding her inside.

The unconscious Mrs. Shuijiang was placed in the compartment next to her, and the current head of the family, Yi Xing, was also inside.

In the outer room, the medicine seller had his hands tied behind his back and was kneeling obediently in the middle.

Yi Guo sat in the upper seat, never stopping drinking.

At this time, everyone in the mansion who had the opportunity to kill someone was called here.

But as expected, the medicine seller with unknown origins was the most suspicious.

"Someone, go and call Dr. Tsubouchi to come and take a look." Yiguo ordered.

The housekeeper immediately arranged: "Mi Ping, hurry up!"

The medicine seller tried to stop him, "It's best not to go out. The barrier is not complete yet. It's very dangerous outside."

"Prisoner, stop talking. Do you want to die?" Fujiyama drew out a knife and pointed at the medicine seller.

The short servant Yaping was a little scared, but he had the lowest status here, so he had to go even if he didn't want to.

Yiguo filled the glass with wine: "Who let this medicine seller in?"

The housekeeper quickly shifted the blame: "Ya Ping said that Jia Shi brought it in secretly! But when I found out, I was about to kick him out."

"It's not me..." The maid Jia Shi tried to defend herself.

Clearly the housekeeper also wanted to be alone with the medicine seller, so how did it become her fault alone?

"Shut up, what are you trying to quibble about? I saw with my own eyes you and him having an intimate chat in the kitchen!" the housekeeper shouted.

The medicine seller told the truth: "It has nothing to do with anyone else. I came in by myself. I felt that there was a monster here."

The word "monster" appeared again, and the room became quiet again. The uneasiness brought by the unknown enveloped everyone.

"Knock knock." There was a sudden knock on the door.

The people outside said, "Dr. Tsubouchi is busy and can't come. I'm the doctor who came here to replace him."

Hearing the familiar name, everyone in the room let down their guard.

The maid Jia Shi was very discerning and opened the door: "Come in."

"Thank you." Haruka smiled at the maid Kashi.

Yiguo stopped the wine glass that was about to reach his mouth. He narrowed his eyes, his sight almost glued to the other person: "Ah, a female doctor? Really good..."

"You're just in time. Go and take a look at the wounds on the body to find out the cause of death." Yiguo made arrangements with ill intentions.

The maid Jia Shi thought they had forgotten and hurriedly reminded them: "But Madam Shui Jiang is still in a coma."

"She fainted because she was too excited. It doesn't matter. We need to think more about how to explain to the Shiwano family than to her."

The owner of the house had given the order, so Qinghe passed by the medicine seller carrying the medicine box and walked towards the inner room where the body was placed.

The medicine seller glanced at her as she passed by him, and then he became confused.

Not for any other reason, just because she looked less human than him, these people just let her in?

Regarding the question just raised by Yiguo, a new round of discussion began in the room.

"Tell the Shiwano family that Miss Mao is seriously ill and that the wedding needs to be postponed?" Then they can find a substitute to marry.

"No, some of them have seen Miss Maou, so it's better to tell the Shiwano family the truth."

It just so happens that the "murderer" is here too, so he can be handed over to Shiwanoya to deal with, which can be regarded as an explanation.

Fujiyama and Sasaoka started arguing, while Odashima went to check the medicine seller's cargo box.

The bottom layer is filled with all sorts of weird little things, and also some medicines of unknown use.

Going up are small props and "textbooks" with obvious functions.

"Wow——" everyone exclaimed.

"Aren't you a medicine seller?" Odajima became even more suspicious.

The medicine seller didn't change his expression and kept smiling: "It won't stop me from selling other things."

Finally, Odajima found a wooden box covered with talisman paper in the cargo box. After opening it, he found a gorgeous knife lying inside.

"You are a drug seller, why do you carry a knife with you?" Odashima asked.

Apart from nobles and samurai, the only ones who could carry swords were rebels.

"Of course I have a use for it." The medicine seller answered slowly.

Odashima tried to draw the sword, but the sword did not move in the scabbard: "Why can't I draw this sword?"

"Because the timing is not right." The medicine seller answered every question honestly.

Odashima held the knife in front of the medicine seller and said, "Pull it out."

Just check whether there is any blood residue on the knife to know whether it is a murder weapon.

The medicine seller shook his head: "I can't pull it out now. The time is not right yet. Even if I pull it out by force, it won't work."

"Aren't you the owner of this knife? Don't delay!" Fujiyama became impatient and put his knife on the medicine seller's neck.

The medicine seller answered calmly: "The Sword of Exorcism is a sword used to kill monsters. It needs to obtain the form, truth, and principle before its power can be unlocked."

Shape: the original form of a monster or its form when it appears.

Truth, the origin and end of things, the restoration of events.

Reason, inner thoughts, sincere analysis.

Therefore, no matter how they tried to draw the sword or how they urged him, the medicine seller only had one answer: it could not be drawn out because the time was not right.

Seeing this, Yiguo asked Qinghe in the inner room: "Hey, that little doctor girl, have you checked the wound? What weapon caused it?"

Qinghe patted the restless soul-guiding lamp inside the medicine box through the other side, and then answered them: "The cause of death was excessive blood loss caused by cutting the throat."

"The murder weapon is..." Qinghe stretched out his index finger and gently scratched his neck with his nail: "claws."

"Transform into a cat?" The medicine seller took over the question and became more certain in his heart.

Shape: cat.

Qinghe nodded slightly: "Yes, a monster cat."

Listening to their charades-like conversation, everyone became increasingly uneasy.

Boom, boom, boom...

There were strange noises coming from outside the room, like something was moving, or something was knocking on the doors and windows.

The medicine seller stood up, and the ropes that bound his hands fell to the ground.

"How did you break free!" Odajima drew his sword and pointed it at the medicine seller.

"The cat is a cat-shaped monster formed by resentment. It hates this place deeply. What did you do to the cat?"

Even though there was a rat infestation, the Sakai family would rather put up a mousetrap than keep a cat, and the reason was that some people didn't like cats.

You know, the plague is much more terrible than personal preferences.

The maid Jia Shi was thinking of something, but she was not sure:

"There were a few times when I threw water to drive wild cats out of the kitchen... Could it be because of this? It shouldn't be such a small matter, right?"

Because he was driven away, he became so angry that he turned into a monster and killed people? No matter how you think about it, it's impossible, right?

"Youkai are different from humans. What caused their resentment might be due to trivial things done by humans."

What the medicine seller needs to understand now is the "truth" that causes resentment.

"Has anyone else done anything else to cats?"

The maid, Kashi, remembered something again: "I saw housekeeper Satoko buy cats several times!"

Bought a cat in a mansion where cats were not allowed, so where did the cat go?

Everyone looked at the housekeeper.

"No, it's not me..." The housekeeper listened to the voice outside the house and naturally refused to admit it: "I bought it for Sasaoka!"

Sasaoka, who was pointed out, looked calm: "Yes, it was bought for me."

"Where's the cat?" the medicine seller asked.

The cat is about to attack. If we don't get the truth and reason, everyone in the house will be in danger.

Yiguo, who was in a higher position, didn’t care: “There are some treasures in the house that need to be polished from time to time to keep them perfect.”

"That's perfect. A cat's fur is tight and smooth, perfect for testing knives."

Sasaoka also agreed: "Yes, they are just some beasts."

"Now these beasts you mentioned are back for revenge!" Fujiyama's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"What can we do? How about using a dog?" Sasaoka asked back.

If cats can turn into monsters, why can't dogs?

"Okay, stop making noise!" Odajima shouted.

Boom boom boom boom boom…

The noise outside the house became more urgent, coming from all directions, and everyone looked around in panic.
