"Fugaku, are you sure?"
The ninjas of the Konoha Security Department immediately looked at the young man who had just spoken.
This young man has a clear-cut face and looks quite handsome. His half-long black hair is fresh and elegant, and he has an energy that cannot be concealed.
Under the gaze of the surrounding security ninjas, the young man did not feel any nervousness and nodded in confirmation.
"I've seen Taiyi's photos."
"As long as I have seen it, I will never admit it."
"This body..."
"It's Taichi!"
The young man said firmly, with a strong sense of confidence in his tone.
This young man.
It is Uchiha Fugaku, the rising star of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village.
"It seems that this disappearance case is not simple!"
The captain of the Konoha Security Department sighed, and then began to order in an orderly manner.
"Now you are divided into three teams."
"First team, you are responsible for retrieving the body and sending it to Konoha Hospital for identification to determine the cause of death and the specific time of death."
"Second team, you are responsible for sealing off the scene and seeing if you can find any clues."
"Third team, you immediately search the source of the river and the woods to see if any other bodies will be found."
"Act now!"
The captain of the Konoha Security Department immediately ordered.
"yes!"
After the ninjas from the security department responded, they all flashed and went about their own business.
…
By the river.
The people of Konoha Village just watched the security department at work.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the village is not peaceful during this period. Not only do people often go missing, but now people are dying again. It's really scary!"
"I think our Konoha Village's security department doesn't do its job properly and is only focused on arresting people, instead of fulfilling its responsibility to maintain public order."
"Did you hear that the person from the security department just said that this body is that of the person who disappeared during this time?"
"Looking at it this way, the fate of those missing people seems to be in danger!"
"I don't know when the murderer will be caught!"
“…”
The crowd of people watching were talking a lot. Many people didn't think about that much at first, but after hearing other people's discussions, they became worried.
All of a sudden.
People are panicking.
…
It didn't take long.
This case of corpses floating in the river in Konoha Village spread throughout the village.
As the saying goes, good things leave no name, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
This incident that caused a sensation in the village was discussed in various places, and with the added fuel and jealousy of some good people, it evolved into multiple versions, causing extremely bad effects.
after all.
The unknown is the scariest thing!
…
Afternoon.
Konoha Village Hokage's Office.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was anxious for an emergency meeting.
The people attending the meeting were composed of multiple departments, all of which are responsible for maintaining public security in the village.
Among them was the Konoha Police Department.
"What's the specific situation?" The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a frown.
"Here's the thing."
The captain of the Konoha Security Department took a step forward and reported in a deep voice.
"This morning we found a corpse floating in the river in the village. It was identified as Taichi who disappeared a few days ago. After identification by the Konoha Medical Department, the time of death was between 8 o'clock and 12 o'clock last night. The reason He was hit on the head with a blunt instrument and died. There are traces of being tied up on his body. It is suspected that he was killed when he broke away from the restraints and escaped." The head of the security force said solemnly.
"Is this matter related to the disappearance case?" Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the glare in his eyes.
"I suspect it's related." The guard commander nodded.
"Then let Danzo handle it." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly, focused his eyes on Danzo, took a deep look at Danzo, and said: "Since he is a person related to the disappearance case, let him Let’s investigate!”
"Yes." Danzo responded indifferently with an expressionless face.
"But..." The captain of the security department wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the third generation.
"This matter is settled."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, turned around and picked up the pipe on the table, held it in his mouth, picked up a match, lit a flame, and then lit the pipe.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath of cigarette. The breath of tobacco penetrated into his lungs and slowly overflowed from his nostrils.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the captain of the security department and nodded slightly.
"What you have to deal with now is to calm the public opinion in the village. You can't let this kind of panic continue to ferment. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
The captain of the security force responded immediately. His brows were furrowed, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he did not say it out loud.
"Meeting dismissed."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and ended the meeting.
Suddenly.
People in the Hokage's office dispersed one after another.
Many of them followed the department captains in the meeting and left without even speaking.
"Something's wrong!"
The captain of the medical department muttered to himself as he walked out.
"This is no longer a simple disappearance case, but a murder case, and it has caused such a big impact. Shouldn't more security ninjas be sent to investigate? Why is it still handed over to the ANBU?"
The captain of the medical department was full of confusion. He had the slightest doubt about the decision made by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he only dared to whisper it to himself and did not dare to say it blatantly.
certainly.
He wasn't the only one who felt the same way.
People attending the meeting felt more or less sloppy about the way the matter was handled.
…
At this moment.
There were only two people left in the Hokage's office, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.
"Danzo, I need an explanation!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.
"What explanation?" Danzo's tone was very indifferent.
"Why are there still dead people?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened suddenly. He held the pipe in his right hand and no longer wanted to smoke anymore.
"It's normal to experiment on dead people," Danzo said slowly.
"I'm not talking about death because of the experiment, but why the man died in the river. Are you arresting him by force?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with anger in his tone: "How many times have I said this? It’s time, we need to find volunteers for experiments, we can’t forcibly abduct people for experiments.”
"You are too idealistic. How many willing volunteers do you think there will be? If no one is willing to sacrifice, the experiment will not be done?" Danzo sneered. At this moment, he felt that the third generation was too much. Pedantic.
"I don't want to see something like this happen again. If it happens again, no matter whether the experiment makes progress or not, I will stop the cloning experiment of Hashirama cells!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly. He had been thinking about it for a long time. He no longer wanted to continue this experiment, and this incident just gave him a reason.
…
In the dark part.
Qingyu has returned to his dormitory, lying leisurely on the bed, waiting for his vacation...
Thanks to [Lin Taiyin] for the reward and support!
