Either that or Kujo Sara is too stubborn. If she doesn't catch the little yellow-haired boy now, she might run away if he's smarter.

It’s a pity that these two are not very smart, which allows the main story to go on. Perhaps, this is the arrangement of "fate".

That same evening, Kujo Sara met with a friend. Although she felt that this friend's working environment was not very good, her ability was unquestionable.

In the izakaya, there were two sets of tableware and two wine jugs on the table.

"What's wrong, Sara? Did something bother you?"

Shinobu Kuki asked. She received an invitation from Kujo Sara at noon today, asking her to come for an appointment in the evening. This was the first time they met after Kujo Sara returned to Narukami Island.

At first she just thought that Kujo Sara had achieved some military merit, or that they were just having a simple gathering, but the expression on Kujo Sara's face seemed a little unnatural.

Did he lose the battle? I heard that the traveler was a member of the resistance army. It shouldn't be a shame for Kujo Sara to lose to someone who could solve the Mond Dragon Disaster.

Or is there some problem at work that she is having trouble solving, so she comes to me to talk?

"Shinobu, regarding the application form you submitted to become a Tenryo Bugyo..."

Kujo Sara has indeed not had a good time recently. She was captured a few days ago, and after returning to Narukami Island, she went to the shrine to worship and met a wanted criminal. The key point is that the chief priest Yae did not let her arrest the criminal.

However, she did not come to talk to Shinobu Kuki today. As a soldier of the Tenryo Bugyo, or a sharp sword, the mission of the head of the family always comes first.

"I submitted that form. Is there any problem?"

Seeing that Kujo Sara seemed to be hesitant to speak, Kuki Shinobu decided to ask questions first so that Kujo Sara could explain himself clearly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to communicate if he always had a serious expression and stammered.

"The question is... I saw the form on the master's desk today."

"What? Sara, are you talking about Lord Bugyo?"

Kujo Sara nodded silently, which indirectly showed that this matter was a serious problem.

Generally, such application forms will only be reviewed and approved by lower-level clerks, and the efficiency is low. It will take at least ten days to half a month to get them approved.

However, it was very abnormal for this thing to appear on Kujo Takayuki's desk. Even if Tenryo Bugyo disliked the Arotaki faction, he would not report such a trivial matter to the head of the family.

Jiuqi Shinobu had long felt that Yun Qing was not right, but she did not expect that his affairs could alarm the head of the Kujo family. Who is he and what is his purpose in joining the Arakaki sect?

"How do you need me to cooperate with you?"

Jiuqi Shinobu knew the seriousness of the matter. The most she could do now was to try her best to assist Kujo Sara in the investigation. This way she could solve the trouble for her friend, and at the same time she could also find out Yun Qing's background.

This would be good for both her and Kujo Sara.

"Tell me the information you filled in on the form. The form is now with the owner of the house. I want to investigate privately."

Kujo Sara took out a form, the format of which was the same as the one that Jiuqi Shinobu had filled out for Yun Qing before. This was the universal career application form used by Tenryo Bugyo.

Jiuqi Shinobu quickly recalled what he had filled in at that time. He was indeed an expert in textual research as he could remember Yun Qing's information clearly.

After filling in the last line on the form, Kujo Sara let out a long sigh, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "Do you still remember his appearance?"

"Black hair, black clothes, a gauntlet on his arm, and long boots. Oh, and his eyes are weird, the right eye is red, and the left eye is purple."

Jiuqi Shinobu had already taken off her ghost mask armor and was ready to start eating. It wasn't that she was very hungry, but mainly because if she didn't eat the omelette rice they ordered, it would get cold.

When Kujo Sara heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the person she saw in Inazuma Castle during the day? Considering Yun Qing's name and the strange feeling he gave her, wasn't that the person the patriarch asked her to find?

"Where can I find him?"

Kujo Sara's tone became serious. Unexpectedly, she had found the clue of the person the master had asked her to find. Now she only needed to know the other party's habits and characteristics to successfully complete the master's task.

However, according to common sense, the task assigned to her by Kujo Takayuki himself was either very important or difficult to complete, and this time it was both.

"I don't know, or I don't know him very well. In comparison... Aratake Ichito has a closer relationship with him."

Shinobu Kuki didn't want to sell Arotaki Ichito, but seeing the look on Kujo Sara's face, this matter was extremely complicated, so she could only pray that Arotaki Ichito wouldn't say the wrong thing in front of Kujo Sara.

"Take me to see him tomorrow. Let's eat first."

Jiuqi Shinobu breathed a sigh of relief. At least after he returned, he could interrogate Arotaki Ichito first and then teach him what to say and what not to say.

……

On the third day, there were many more Tianling Fengxing guards on the streets. Although they were just a motley crowd, they could at least serve as surveillance.

In Tianling Fengxing's search team, there was a young man with reddish-brown hair, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth and humming a song leisurely, which was out of place with the other lifeless people.

Although he looks like a young boy and doesn't fit in with the group, people around him don't dare to look down on him. He is the strongest detective in Tenryo Bugyo - Shikanoin Heizo.

He was famous in the prisons of Tenryo Bugyo and Machi Bugyo for his keen observation, careful thinking and ridiculously accurate "intuition", and was called "Storm" by the prisoners.

This morning, many people in Tianling Fengxing received orders from General Jiujo, asking them to find an adult Liyue male wearing black clothes and with heterochromia, and not to publicize the matter too much.

If you find or provide clues, you will get a reward.

However, Heizo Kanoin found something strange: when Kujo Sara announced the mission, he did not hold a military order or a wanted warrant, and even used words like "search" and "find" instead of "arrest", so this person was most likely not a criminal.

Could it be a missing person? Not likely. When investigating missing persons, superiors usually bring along portraits or family members' descriptions. It would never leave people clueless like this.

Moreover, in the past, whether it was a wanted criminal or a missing person, their portraits would be posted all over the city when searching for them. However, this time, Tianling Bugxing did not use such an effective method, which is also intriguing.

He is not a criminal, not an ordinary missing person, it is not appropriate to make a big fuss about him, and he is a foreigner. Combining all the above conditions, plus Heizo's intuition, he has already guessed the identity of this person.

Diplomatic envoy.
