"If you think about it carefully, it's really incredible."

Kyoutaro Miyabe grinned.

"You and I happen to be both banshis of the New Royal Court Banner, and we happened to be taken to the prison at almost the same time, and then we happened to live in the opposite door... among these 'coincidences', if one of them is not true, it is very likely

It will cause separation between you and me."

"Hahaha, although saying this may sound like boasting, I really feel as if a god is guiding me to save you! Hahaha!"

Qingdeng smiled, then took a deep breath, sat upright, with a solemn expression.

"Miyabe-kun, thank you very much. Your life-saving grace will be unforgettable."

After finishing his words, Aoden bowed slightly to Miyabe Kyotaro and saluted him solemnly.

Kyoutaro Miyabe was his savior.

Without his timely rescue, Qingdeng would have become a pile of coke under the ruins.

It is difficult to repay such a great kindness.

"Ah, no need to be polite, no need to be polite."

Kyoutaro Miyabe scratched his hair as if embarrassed.

"You make me feel embarrassed like this."

Whether others accept your kindness is one thing, but whether you are willing to thank you is another.

Disregarding the kindness of others - this is not Qingdeng's style.

Therefore, even though Miyabe Kyotaro repeatedly said "no need to thank you" and "no need to be too polite", Ayoto still solemnly thanked him as usual.

Then, Qingden turned to Yae and asked:

"Senior, what day is it today?"

"January 18th."

"The 18th?!"

Qingdeng exclaimed.

"That is to say... I slept for eight full days? Ha... it was the first time in my life that I slept for such a long time..."

"After all, the injuries you suffered this time were basically internal injuries."

Tianzhangyuan took over.

"According to the doctor who treated you, the burns and burns on the surface of your body are all minor injuries that can be recovered by just resting for a period of time."

"Internal injuries caused by lack of oxygen are troublesome."

"The doctor said: You may become a person in a state of 'both life and death' that although you are not dead, you will never wake up."

Speaking of this, Tianzhangyuan changed into a tone filled with emotion.

"So...it's great that you're awake..."

——Both alive and dead...a vegetative state...

Qingden smiled bitterly.

To be honest, Qingdeng himself was surprised and emotional that he was able to survive this time.

Thinking back to the night eight days ago when he was surrounded by flames, when he was about to lose consciousness, Qingdeng thought he was going to end it like this.

In fact, Qingdeng still has a dreamy and unreal feeling that doubts whether he has really survived...

"I've been in coma for eight days...and disappeared for so long. Souji and the others must be worried about me now..."

The faces of Souji, Mai Kinoshita, Zuo Nazi and others appeared and flashed through Qingto's mind one by one.

Qingdeng's heart was filled with thoughts of missing his relatives and friends.

Qingdeng smiled slightly unconsciously.

However... at the same time, after Aoto said, "The Souji and the others must be worried about me now," Tenshoin, the two sisters, and Kyoutaro Miyabe all showed heavy and solemn expressions.

"...Tachibana-kun, I have something very important to tell you now."

"Important things?"

Qingdeng stared blankly at Tianzhangyuan.

Tenshouin turned his head and motioned with his eyes to the two sisters and Miyabe Kyotaro to retreat.

Shazhong and the others nodded in understanding, then stood up and left in unison.

After there was no one else present in the room, Dean Tianzhang let out a long sigh.

"Ji Jun, although you were only in a coma for 8 days...but in these short 8 days, a lot of big things happened..."

The ghosts and gods must be stolen.

The entire Akabane family was killed.

Because the stolen Dingguishen was found at the murder scene, the government listed Qingteng as a major suspect in the "Akaban Miemen Gu".

Kanazawa Chusuke, captain of the second division of the Fire Thieves, and his sister Kanazawa Qin were killed.

Tianzhangyuan briefly and comprehensively summarized to Qingdeng a series of major events that occurred in recent days.

No matter when he learned about the tragedy of the Akabane family or when he learned that he was wanted by the government, Qingto's expression did not change significantly.

Only when he heard that the Kanazawa brothers and sisters were killed, his expression suddenly changed.

"Kanazawa-kun and Kanazawa-san...are dead...?"

Qingdeng grabbed the quilt's hand and quickly increased his strength.

Although his emotions were expressed more restrainedly, Qingdeng's anger and pathos were accurately conveyed to Tianzhangyuan.

Tianzhangyuan didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Qingdeng's mood returned to calm that she spoke again:

"Ji Jun, let me get straight to the point. I have a major task to give you - I need your help in investigating the 'trick drug'."

Qingdeng cast a doubtful look at Tianzhangyuan.

"Trick medicine?"

Tianzhangyuan stretched out the index finger and thumb of his right hand and made a circle.

"You've seen this, right? Red and purple pills."

Qingdeng's childlike voice shrank suddenly.

"Under the new Imperial Court Banner, there is a group of banshi collectively known as the 'township group'. Their daily task is to collect and report all the rumors they have heard recently. The content and topic are not limited."

"Don't underestimate people's after-dinner chats. Those seemingly meaningless rumors may contain some important information."

"Just over two months ago, the report uploaded by the municipal team suddenly contained a lot of very concerning content."

"The usually gentle and gentle husband seems to have suddenly changed. He often beats his wife and children at home because of trivial matters."

"A simple man who always presented himself as an honest and courteous man seemed to have gone crazy and frequently molested the women in his neighborhood."

"The hard-working woman became lazy for some reason. She lay in bed all day long and spent her days doing nothing. No matter who came to persuade her, she would not listen. Instead, she would curse or even beat the person who came to persuade her."

"In a nutshell - incidents of 'someone's temperament suddenly changes' occurred frequently across Edo."

"A gentle person suddenly becomes cruel; a serious person suddenly becomes lustful; a hard-working person suddenly becomes lazy."

"Whether it is a samurai or a commoner, whether it is in a wealthy neighborhood or a poor slum, similar incidents occur in all walks of life and in all regions."

Hearing this, Qingdeng's brows slowly furrowed.

Incidents of "someone's temperament suddenly changed" occurred frequently in various places in Edo... This was the first time Ayoto had heard of such a thing.

However, this is normal.

In this era without newspapers, television and the Internet, people basically had to rely on primitive "word of mouth" to obtain information from the outside world.

Unless it's some big news, it's really hard to know what's happening in Edo recently without paying special attention.

And this type of eucalyptus is difficult to spread to the outside world.

Due to limited manpower, the administrative office transferred part of its "management authority" to the names and family heads of each town, that is, to the "town residents' self-governing organizations."

Generally speaking, civil cases such as domestic violence, wife cheating, encounters with perverts, etc. are handled by "township residents' autonomous organizations".

The "Three Chapters" of the Enforcement Office and the Huo Fu Thief Gai are only responsible for handling criminal cases of a bad nature such as homicides and huge financial thefts that the "township residents' autonomous organizations" are unable to handle on their own.

To put it simply: the events mentioned above in Tianzhangyuan are difficult to circulate.

These incidents, which did not cause major damage, were suppressed and resolved by the members of the "neighborhood committee" before they spread to the outside world.

"If it's just an accident, then that's fine."

"But so many similar incidents broke out together... this is too strange."

Tianzhangyuan's story continues.
