Chapter 444: The Suspicious Wine
Jue and Gui Yikou were quickly sent to the interrogation room of the Tokyo High School.
After several rounds of tentative interrogation, everyone figured out the conditions for Jue's mind reading.
The technique of perception can only be activated through the eyes.
Yingzhi, who had been following the progress of the interrogation, tore off the blindfold from Gojo Satoru who was sleeping next to him after learning the news and sent him to the interrogation room.
By the way, I also took a few beautiful photos of Gojo Satoru while he was sleeping.
Since then, the progress of the interrogation began to accelerate, and Yingzhi also learned a lot from Jue about what Abe Haruaki was doing now.
These were not said directly by Jue, but were inferred by the interrogators through various indirect probes and based on Jue's reactions.
Because there are restraints and spells in this world, the possibility of getting useful information directly from a shikigami like Jue who was created by Abe Haruaki is almost zero.
But if you change the perspective, for example, provoke Jue and then get the information you want from his rebuttal, it is still feasible.
Among these messages, one sentence caught Yingzhi's attention.
"Once Lord Seimei's plan is completed, this country will belong to Lord Seimei. No matter how you resist, it will be useless.
Lord Haruaki will lead the chosen ones to usher in a new era."
This sentence sounded like the angry words of Jue who was trying to get back at his enemies after his thoughts were disturbed by the technique and a lot of information was extracted.
But Yingzhi's intuition made him realize that something was wrong in this sentence.
On the one hand, Eiji had learned about Abe Haruaki from the intelligence collected by various parties including Tengen and the General Administration of Jujutsu.
We know that Abe Haruaki wants to screen humans and lead the selected humans to start a new era.
On the other hand, I feel like the order of this sentence is a bit wrong.
According to normal thinking, Abe Haruaki should have defeated Eiji and his companions by some means, dominated the current sorcery world, and then obtained this country.
But in what Jue said when he was furious, Abe Haruaki actually wanted to seize the country first and then defeat Eiichi and others.
This is what Yingzhi felt was strange.
Domination of the country can be viewed from two perspectives. One is to seize control of the country at the level of general society.
The other is to control the country at the level of spells.
Obviously, for Abe Haruaki, what he intended to do was the latter.
But no matter which one it is, Yingzhi must be prepared.
.....................................
In a villa in Tokyo, more than a dozen people in different clothes are playing various games enthusiastically.
A few people gathered together to eat takeout and watch TV, while a few others played in groups on the villa's own pool table, table football, and some other games.
The rest of the time they opened and drank the bottles of fine wine collected in the display cabinets.
From their occasional exclamations and surprises, it can be understood that these people are obviously not the original owners of the villa.
Ding, crash.
With the powerful opening shot, the 15 billiard balls neatly arranged in a triangle on the table were hit all over the table.
Then people hit the ball into the hole at random, without paying any attention to the rules.
"Damn it, I lost again."
A yellow-haired young man said unwillingly, and the golf club in his hand was broken by him.
"Hey, don't destroy public property. If you can't afford it, find someone else."
The companion that Huangmao just met behind him started to make a noise.
"I'm just not in good shape today. I'm going to take a rest first. I'll beat you up tomorrow."
After saying that, Huangmao walked towards the bedroom upstairs.
"He used the technique secretly and still lost. That guy is such a loser."
The last thing Huangmao heard before going upstairs was the laughter of the crowd.
"hateful!"
Huangmao returned to the house and kicked the cabinet, then angrily opened a bottle of red wine and drank directly into the bottle.
"Ha, this wine is really delicious. Only rich people know how to enjoy it."
After saying that, Huangmao put the wine on the table and walked towards the bathroom. The moment he entered the bathroom, he felt a soft body leaning towards him.
'Could it be that those girls are lonely?'
Just as Huangmao was about to speak, he found a hand covering his mouth.
The next second, a cold feeling passed through my throat.
What followed was a constant stream of pain.
Cutting the throat is a very effective way to kill the enemy, and it is also recognized as a very cruel way of killing.
If you lived in the countryside as a child, and saw chickens or other animals being killed at home or in the neighborhood, you would have noticed that these animals would struggle very violently after their throats were cut, and even when they were completely exhausted, they would still keep kicking their legs in pain.
At this moment, Huangmao, a curse master who has taken many lives, is suffering this pain.
But the little hand that was so soft and boneless just now now felt a huge force that it could not escape.
After struggling for more than ten seconds, the yellow-haired man fell down silently.
Hassan, the woman with a purple high ponytail behind the yellow-haired man, immediately blocked the wound on the yellow-haired man's neck to stop the bleeding, and then cleaned up the scene.
This was not to rescue Huangmao, but to prevent the spread of the smell of blood and alert the curse masters downstairs.
According to the investigation, these curse masters downstairs have all been involved in murders to varying degrees, and it is not ruled out that they are familiar with the smell of blood.
As the female Hassan began to clean up the scene, another male Hassan walked into the bathroom.
After looking at the yellow-haired man carefully for a while, the man Hassan took out his tools and started to put on makeup.
Finally, he changed into the clothes that were originally worn by the yellow-haired man and walked out of the bedroom.
The assassinations continue.
Just then, Hassan, the woman with a purple high ponytail and a white skull mask, saw the half bottle of red wine on the table.
"what happened?"
her companion asked.
“I feel like I’ve been seeing this brand of red wine a lot lately.”
Female Hassan picked up the bottle, put the bottle mouth to her nose and sniffed it gently.
"It is said that this is a recently popular wine. The supply is in short supply and it is very popular among the rich."
Hassan, the man, also began to think about the information related to the bottle of wine.
It's fine if a certain type of wine is popular, but if they see this brand of wine every time at the target location they are investigating, then they need to pay attention.
So the male Hassan did not ignore his teammates' discovery just because alcohol was a common item.
"There's something wrong with this wine."
The female Hassan put down the wine and said solemnly.
"what happened?"
Hassan took the wine and looked at it carefully, but did not detect any cursed power or other strange things in the bottle.
“This wine smells so good.”
"Um?"
Female Hassan's words made his companions a little confused, but he soon realized something?
"poison?"
Among Hassan of a Hundred Faces there was also one who was proficient in using poison, so he quickly understood what his companion wanted to express.
"It's possible that normally brewed wine wouldn't be this fragrant unless something was added to it."
The first thing that came to female Hassan's mind was some hallucinogenic plants or spices with other functions.
This use of drugs with hallucinogenic or other properties to control others exists both in the past and now.
"I see. I'll bring it back."
The male Hassan nodded, corked the wine and left the villa with the wine.
He needs to take the bottle of wine back to have it checked by a professional.
