The Chapter of Bo Yinggui Autumn - "Malicious" Tampering

Hearing her proactive request, Tufang asked cautiously: "I remember that you sometimes have to go out because of private affairs. If you entrust all the cooking work to you, it won't affect everyone's normal time to eat, right?" He didn't make it clear because she didn't know that everyone knew that she was a geisha and teacher in Shimabara.Recently, the food ingredients of everyone's meals are obviously much richer than before. Hijikata even went to someone to ask, and it was all the money provided by Ling Azusa, and he told them that it was the money from the Shinsengumi.Because she was asked to assist Shannan-sang in managing the account, she blatantly used the money she earned to subsidize the team's expenses.

"It's okay, there aren't so many personal matters lately." She also followed suit. "By the way, there is something I need to ask the deputy chief to send me to solve it..."

"What? It's rare that you need our help..." In the past, even if there was something, she would order them to do it on her own.Having gotten used to her strong look, she suddenly turned into an image of a good woman who can cook, and at the same time asked them for help.It was like the sun came out from the west!

"Hey, well, it's a bit... I found some small bugs in the kitchen these days... Well, who can take the time to get rid of the bugs?" She rolled her eyes around, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Ling Azusa, you can't be..." Okita looked like he was about to laugh.

"Are you afraid of bugs!?" Hirasuke finished the second half of the sentence for him, with a very exaggerated tone, as if it was something unbelievable.

"So what's the matter..." She pouted.

Laughter erupted in the room, and even Kondo-san and Shannan-san had kind smiles on their faces, as if she was just a child after all.No one except Harada knew about her weakness, but now she has to say it.This made her very ashamed to face others, but for her purpose, she couldn't say anything.

"Lawless Natsume Azusa, finally let us know your death spot! Haha..." Without even carefully distinguishing who said this sentence in the laughter, Azusa pretended to be angry: "Hey, it's fine if you don't want to help , I can deal with those things myself! Isn't it just some weird little creatures, what's so scary... I... I can easily deal with them..."

With soft eyes, Tufang said soothingly: "Don't worry, I will arrange this problem. You have put so much effort into our food, and we should do this. In this way, after the inspection tomorrow, everyone will give the kitchen Do a big cleaning. What do you think, Azusa?"

"It's just what I want! Okay, let's eat! If any of you go out and talk nonsense today, I will make it impossible for anyone to see the sun tomorrow..." Although her threat did not have any substantial sense of terror, she was used to it. "Despicable power", everyone is used to her messing around.

Of course, Lingzi did not show up during the cleaning of the village kitchen.Everyone laughed and talked about how she was so afraid. No one thought that she would do something irreversible when no one knew about it.Even if it can't stop the torrent, at least it can stir up some splashes, this is her idea.

What she did that night was revealed.The angry deputy director of the earth, who hadn't seen him for a long time, gathered all the cadres and asked who knew what was going on.Ling Zi didn't intend to hide it, so she walked to the middle of the heavy silence and sat down, calmly confessing: "I did it."

Hijikata gritted his teeth: "Where did you... Yukimura Chizuru go!" The sharp eyes even made her feel a little scared, as if they were going to tear her apart.

"I killed her and threw the body out." She started to perform, and she must perform well this time, even if she used up all the acting skills she had learned.

"What? Natsume, why did you do this? You don't have to kill Yukimura Chizuru, right? Didn't we reach an agreement before and just keep an eye on her?" Kondo, who was so kind, became a little impatient.

She understood their feelings very well, and they certainly could not approve of her actions.Even if she is usually willful, she has never done such an excessive thing.This time, he not only disobeyed the orders of the group, but also killed civilians.

"I have always been against keeping her alive. The deputy chief and the chief executive also knew that I wanted to kill her the first day I saw her. Unfortunately, my skills were not up to standard and she was spared. We can't let Rakshasa Isn't this an unwritten rule of our Shinsengumi. Why did she let her go? Is it because she is a girl, or because she is Yukimura Tsunamichi's daughter? If that's the case, I can't accept it even more."

"Since the director and deputy director have decided to keep her alive, you are disobeying the order. And with her, maybe you can find Gang Dao-san earlier, right? He is still needed for the research of Bian Ruoshui." Shannan helped hold glasses.

"If you disobey the order, do you need me to apologize with death? Then I will never turn back." She carefully felt the emotion at the moment she said this.In an instant, I understood why Okita would do something that seemed excessive and independent of characteristics.As long as it is something that you think is beneficial to the group, just stick to your own approach.If it wasn't for the bad atmosphere now, she would definitely apologize to Okita for stopping him before.The next thing she wants to stop is for Shannan-san to continue researching Ruoshui.She won't turn anyone into a Rakshasa.The premise is that she can escape this catastrophe smoothly at that time.

"Natsume!" Hijikata hadn't called her by this title for a long time.It seemed to really piss him off.Unexpectedly, the irony is that she, who most wanted to share his worries, has now become a good hand at finding trouble for him.She smiled wryly in her heart, but pretended not to care on her face, she must not show her weakness. "Saito, take her back to the room. She is not allowed to go out without my order!"

Ling Azusa didn't make any rebuttals, she just stood up, walked in front of Saito and went out without anyone looking.

Saito walked behind her and didn't tie her up. It was obvious that she was walking towards the room by herself without external force. "Lingzi, did you really mean what you said in the kitchen yesterday?"

"Did I say something yesterday? I don't remember. But when did I beat around the bush." ​​She knew what Saito was referring to, but deliberately pretended to be confused.It is enough for the Shinsengumi to have a girl, a bloody case caused by jealousy, would Saito think so?No matter how she answered, she either lied tonight or talked nonsense yesterday, and it couldn't change the ending. "However, Hajime, thank you for not tying me back like a prisoner. Don't worry, I will stay in the room obediently."

Saito seemed hesitant to speak, and finally just sighed lightly.

After arranging Azusa, Saito returned to the assembly hall, and the others still hadn't left the assembly. "Deputy Chief."

"How is she?" Tu Fang tried his best to control his anger.He thought she understood him better than anyone else, but he really couldn't understand that the one she trusted the most should do such a thing, that's why he was even more angry than usual.She is definitely not such a cruel person, how could she kill an unarmed prisoner for no reason?

"In the room. She shouldn't be running around, so I didn't tie her up. I just locked the door and came back. Is there any problem?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Saito. Then, tell me what you think about this matter." Hijikata glanced at everyone.

"Hijikata-san, do you want to ask Ling Azusa again? It can't be her doing it!" Hirasuke got angry in his heart.

"You heard her admit it herself. No one else pointed her out, and she didn't have to lie. In this way, the time when everyone is cleaning the kitchen before dinner is her time to act. While we are all away So... it seems that she lied to us when she said she was afraid of bugs?" Okita was still sitting by the door he liked.He never thought Ling Zi and him were the same kind of people, but now it seems that they may have more similarities than he thought.However, it also made him realize how ridiculous he was before.

"No, it's true that she's afraid of bugs." Harada, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. "There are still a few questions about this matter."

"Indeed. Not to mention how Lingzi managed to cleanly dispose of Yukimura Chizuru's body in such a short period of time. As far as the blood on the scene is concerned, the blood volume is not at all the blood volume of killing a person, it is too little Already." Saito also put forward his own opinion.

"Although Natsume has always insisted on opposing Rakshasa and doesn't like Tsunado-san very much, it is hard for me to believe that she has resentment towards his daughter for this reason. And, to be honest, she has always helped I conduct research on Bian Ruo Shui, and sometimes she will tell me a lot of things beyond my knowledge, maybe she doesn’t want Bian Ruo Shui to succeed, but if it fails, it may bring more trouble to everyone. So, say Such Natsume would kill Yukimura-san's daughter, it really doesn't seem like something a kind-hearted woman would do, and, with her level of intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to make a watertight plan."

"Everyone is right. But why did she admit it? Where did Yukimura Chizuru go?" Shinpachi didn't understand.

"I don't believe that Natsume would do such a thing, Sui, what do you think?" Kondo looked at Hijikata.

Listening to everyone's discussion, the earth side gradually calmed down their anger.Indeed, the matter is not that simple, it's just that I lost my judgment because Ling Zi was involved. "Let her stay in the room until there is no evidence to prove that she didn't do it. After that, investigate slowly. Everyone will pay attention when inspecting tomorrow. She said she killed the child, but where the body is is a mystery." , it shouldn't be too far away. Unless, she let Xuecun Qianhe go... But, she will not be ignorant of the risk, in case the child goes out and talks nonsense. And whose blood in the room belongs..."

In the end, no conclusions were drawn, and even Harada was full of question marks.Hijikata really couldn't sleep, so he decided to talk to Lingzi again. If he could control his emotions well this time, maybe she would be able to tell him everything.Walking to the door of her room, Saito was watching over her, and he signaled that Saito could go back to rest first.But he stood at the door for a long time, was he afraid to know that she would not change his words?Or is it because he was too fierce to her before and it is difficult to change his attitude now?Or is it simply that she is afraid of affecting her rest?He doesn't know either.However, at this moment, he realized that Lingzi in the room was not asleep.

He thought it was the voice of someone whispering, but when he listened carefully, he was stunned.Ayazusa was crying.She seemed to trust them too much, she never expected that there would be someone watching her at the door, and in the dead of night, she was finally willing to release her true emotions.The crying sound gradually became louder, and seemed to be full of grievances.Hijikata's heart throbbed with her loud cries, but he didn't have the courage to enter the house.He knew that once he stepped through this door, he couldn't turn back: he couldn't bear the tears of the woman he liked, and he couldn't forgive himself for putting the Shinsengumi second.

When did it start?Mingming Lingzi's personality is terrible: unruly and self-willed, self-assertive, identity is also full of mysteries, and often does not obey orders to act casually.But it's so similar to me: I can do anything for the Shinsengumi, and I don't hesitate to give my all.No, Ling Azusa has done much better than herself. She strengthened her belief when Serizawa blamed herself, and she pointed out the way when she was confused. Not only him, but everyone in the Shinsengumi was also affected. Thanks to her.She sees clearly and dares to express her attitude.Hijikata didn't even know why she did this for the Shinsengumi.But she, who has never shown any weakness, is crying so painfully at this moment.What a sucker for myself!Whether as a deputy chief or as a man.

After stopping for a long time, he finally chose to leave.
