Chapter 753 The situation is complicated
Shao Yun was at Mingjin Taisha, waiting for Zaoyou to complete his investigation and come back to report.
Time passed minute by minute, from noon to afternoon, and Shao Yun became more and more irritated.
"It's almost evening, why hasn't Zaoyou come back yet? It's just investigating a private house, why does it take so long?" Shao Yun couldn't help but complain.
"Could she be deserting her duty and going to sleep somewhere?"
However, Shao Yun changed his mind and suddenly realized another possibility.
"Has Zaoyou encountered any danger?"
After hearing Shao Yun's words, the Eightfold God Son on the side also began to think.
"Although Zaoyou likes to sleep in, it's not necessary for her to spend so much time investigating a house..."
Just when Yae Shinko was about to ask someone to check on Zaoyou's condition, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from a distance.
Shao Yun and Yae Shen Zi looked carefully and saw Zao You running towards them in a hurry, shouting.
"I found it!"
When Shao Yun saw that Zaoyou finally came back and seemed to be unharmed, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and then teased: "You are finally back. If you hadn't come back, we would have thought you were killed by Shinnosuke."
Zaoyou scratched his forehead in confusion, somewhat puzzled by Shao Yun's reaction.
She asked in confusion, "Didn't you say we should investigate more carefully? It's normal to spend more time."
Yae Shinko shook her head slightly and said, "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay, Zaoyou. So how's the investigation going?"
Zaoyou nodded and began to narrate her investigation process truthfully.
"I found out that there is a cellar in Shinnojo's house. I heard crying sounds coming from inside. It sounded a lot like Miss Hiiragi Chisato."
Zaoyou paused for a moment, then continued, "But when I was about to investigate further, Shinnojo suddenly came back. In order to avoid being discovered by him, I had to leave quickly. If not for this, I would definitely be able to rescue Miss Hiiragi Chisato directly."
Hearing that Chisato Hiiragi was imprisoned in the cellar of Shinnosuke's house, Yae Kamiko couldn't help but frowned, pinched her chin, and muttered thoughtfully: "I didn't expect it was really him..."
Shao Yun, who was standing by, asked one more question to make sure everything went smoothly.
"Zaoyou, are there any dangerous items in Shinnosuke's home? For example, weapons, explosives, etc.?" Zaoyou quickly shook his head and replied: "I didn't see any explosives, but if we talk about weapons, does a kitchen knife count?"
Shao Yun saw that Shinnojo didn't have any weapons, and he had confirmed Hiiragi Chisato's location, so he didn't waste any time and ordered, "Well, since there's nothing to worry about, I'll go call Goro and Kanoin Heizo. What about you? Is Yae Kamiko coming?"
Given her status as the daughter of the Eightfold God, there was no need for her to personally handle such trivial matters.
However, unexpectedly, she nodded, indicating her willingness to go together, and gave a rather surprising reason.
"Of course I will go. When Chisato and Kamajiro got married, I gave them a generous gift. Today, I want to see how strong this guy named Shinnojo is to dare to do this..."
……
In the evening, Shao Yun acted quickly and asked Goro and Shikanoin Heizo to dispatch a team of soldiers to Shinnosuke's house.
At the same time, Yaegamiko took Zaoyou and hid in the bushes outside Shinnosuke's house, lying in ambush quietly.
When the figures of Shao Yun and others appeared in the field of vision, the Eightfold Son of God revealed an imperceptible smile.
When Shao Yun and the others approached, she stood up from the bushes, pointed to a house not far away, and said slowly: "You are finally here, what are your plans next?"
Shao Yun looked at the lonely straw house, and after a moment of silence, he decisively ordered: "Wulang, you lead half of the people to guard outside the house. Don't let him run away."
Goro nodded in response and immediately directed his men to disperse to various key locations and surround the straw house.
Shao Yun then looked at Shikanoin Heizo and Zaoyu and said, "Heizo, Zaoyu, lead the remaining half of the people and rush in with me."
Shikanoin Heizo and Hayate answered in unison, “Okay!”
After Shao Yun confirmed that everything was ready, he gave the order to take action.
"Take action!"
As for Yae Shinko, she was simply called here to observe the action.
She stood aside, watching all this with interest, a faint smile on her lips.
At this moment, she didn't know that her fox liver would explode with anger in a while.
……
Shao Yun walked to the door of the hut and did not intend to use any negotiation method to make money through peace. Instead, he kicked the wooden door hard.
There was a loud bang, and the wooden door opened, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
It's just like the FBI's way of breaking into a door.
At this moment, Shinnosuke was calmly cooking dinner on the tatami in the living room, and he had no idea that something like this would happen.
When Xin Zhicheng heard the loud noise and looked up, Shao Yun had already rushed in.
Xin Zhicheng was about to get up and run away, but Shao Yun stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.
"Where is Chisato Hiiragi?" Shao Yun stood in front of Shinnosuke, pointed at him condescendingly, and asked in a cold voice.
Shinnojo was half lying on the tatami, his body leaning back slightly, his eyes half closed.
Obviously, Shao Yun's kick hit him pretty hard.
After a few seconds, he looked carefully and saw that Shao Yun and the Coral Palace soldiers following him all had murderous looks on their faces.
Shinnosuke was shocked when he saw this, but he quickly recovered and shouted calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about! You are trespassing! I will report you to Master Yae!"
Why didn't they report it to the Tianling Fengxing? Because the government troops were on the other side!
Shao Yun ignored Xinzhicheng's shouting. He strode forward, grabbed Xinzhicheng's collar, and lifted him up from the tatami like a chicken.
Shinnojo's feet were kicking in the air, and he was still yelling.
"Let me go! You are breaking the law!"
How could Shinnosuke know? What stood in front of him was the law, and yes, the shooting skills were also the law!
Shao Yun cursed at Xin Zhicheng fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense! Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist! You'd better tell me the truth!"
However, Shinnosuke showed no weakness and just kept shaking his head, muttering, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Seeing that this boy was so stubborn, Shao Yun got furious.
Without saying a word, he punched Shinnosuke hard on the chin.
With a loud "crack", Shinnosuke's jaw was dislocated.
His body also flew straight to the side, then with a "bang", hit the wall, then fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
Shao Yun looked at Xin Zhicheng who was lying on the ground, snorted coldly, turned to the Coral Palace soldiers and said, "Take him away!"
The soldiers quickly stepped forward and dragged the unconscious Shinnojo out of the room like a dead dog.
Shao Yun looked around, taking in the layout of the room.
This is an extremely simple house, just a living room, with worn-out tatami mats on the floor, a small fireplace, and some necessary furniture.
The only valuable thing might be the pot of porridge cooking in the stove.
At first glance, this place doesn't look like a place where people can hide.
Shao Yun frowned and muttered to himself, "This guy is really poor. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has nothing at home."
He turned to look at Zaoyou and asked, "Zaoyou, where is the cellar you mentioned?"
Zaoyou pointed to the old water tank in the corner and said softly, "It's right under that water tank. I wanted to take a look underneath, but Shinnosuke came back too quickly."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun quickly walked to the water tank, grasped the edge of the tank tightly with both hands, and moved it aside with a little effort.
After the water tank was moved away, Shao Yun lifted the straw mat underneath, and a black cellar door pull ring appeared in front of him.
He took a deep breath, then grabbed the door pull ring tightly and pulled it hard, and the entrance to the cellar was opened.
In an instant, an indescribable smell hit me in the face.
Shao Yun frowned and said with disgust: "What is this smell?"
The smell is a bit like mold, and seems to be mixed with the stench of excrement, and there is also a faint rancid smell.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun quickly covered his nose with his hands and took several steps back.
Although the smell was unpleasant, he had to go down. Shao Yun took out his electric lantern from the Eastern Legend backpack on his waist (because the ordinary lantern had already been given to Ying).
He bit the handle of the lantern and walked down the ladder, step by step, into the cellar.
……
After entering the cellar, Shao Yun held the lantern high in his hand and groped his way forward carefully in the cellar.
The cellar was filled with a mixed smell, a mixture of moldy dampness, the stench of excrement and a faint rancid smell, making the air seem particularly turbid and suffocating.
Suddenly, Shao Yun's attention was attracted by a shadow that was completely different from the surrounding environment.
He looked closely and found that it was a shabby bed in the corner, and on the bed, there seemed to be a figure curled up.
Shao Yun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He slowly approached the bed, and the lantern in his hand cast a faint light on it.
When he finally saw the figure on the bed clearly, he was almost scared to death.
"Oh my God..." Shao Yun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you Chisato Hiiragi?"
The woman on the bed looked very haggard. Her skin had turned pale due to being imprisoned in the cellar for a long time. It was not the same color as a normal person's.
Her hair became dry and messy like dead grass due to lack of nutrition.
At this moment, Hiiragi Chisato seemed to be unconscious. She looked at Shao Yun in front of her with confused eyes, her lips slightly opened and she made a hoarse sound.
"Xinzhicheng? No, you are not him... Are you here to save me?" Her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but Shao Yun still heard her words clearly.
Shao Yun widened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.
He couldn't connect the disheveled, half-dressed, dirty, pale-skinned woman before him with the Hiiragi Chisato in his memory.
Is this still the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family?
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun noticed Hiiragi Chisato's belly. She was pregnant!
"Are you Chisato Hiiragi?" Shao Yun asked again cautiously.
However, Hiiragi Chisato did not answer Shao Yun's question. Instead, as if stressed, she shook her head violently. Her body curled up involuntarily and she huddled in the corner of the bed, muttering to herself.
"Don't come over here...Don't come over here...Kamaji, save me!"
Shao Yun had not expected Hiiragi Chisato to react like this, so he could only try his best to comfort her: "Don't get excited, I'm here to save you, calm down."
Just when Shao Yun was extremely anxious, the voice of Shikanoin Heizo came from the entrance of the cellar.
"How's it going? Did you find the person?"
Seeing that Shao Yun had not responded for a long time, Shikanoin Heizo, who was at the entrance of the cellar, decided to go down and check the situation himself.
When Shao Yun heard the voice of Shikanoin Heizo, he quickly turned around to look.
I saw Shikanoin Heizo slowly climbing down the ladder and did not notice anything unusual in the cellar.
Shao Yun's heart tightened when he saw this, and he quickly shouted, "Ping Zang, don't come down!"
When Shikanoin Heizo heard Shao Yun's shout, he was stunned, stopped what he was doing, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Shao Yun had no time to explain at this moment. He had only one thought in his mind, which was that he must not let Shikanoin hide.
"I said, don't come down! If you come down, I will kill you!"
Shikanoin Heizo was startled by Shao Yun's sudden roar, and obviously didn't understand why Shao Yun suddenly became so fierce.
However, Shikanoin Heizo was a smart man after all, and he quickly realized that Shao Yun must have made a discovery.
Although he was a little confused, he immediately agreed and quickly climbed up the ladder.
After climbing up the ladder, Shikanoin Heizo turned around and shouted into the cellar: "Okay, okay, I get it, don't get excited, I'm not going down."
"But what happened? Can you tell me?"
Shao Yun did not answer his question immediately, but just looked at Hiiragi Chisato who was cowering in the corner of the bed.
The current situation is no longer something he can handle. Fortunately, the Eightfold God's Son has arrived, and Shao Yun plans to let this fox make up his mind.
"It's nothing. Call Yae Shen Zi over to me, and then all of you leave this house and wait outside!" Shao Yun's voice was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
Although Shikanoin Heizo didn't understand why, he still nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go call Yae Shinko over now."
