Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 995 Miss Sugar
[Excuse me. Shangluo, if you think so, then you should be very satisfied with the result of this inquiry.]

"is it?"

[Yes.] Apollonia gave a positive answer, [If you want to pursue unlimited responsibility, it would be better to say that this also happens to meet the wishes of Miss Sato.]

"What's going on? Is she here just to cause trouble?"

[She wanted to attract the attention of the heavenly court. Stealing the elixir was just her improvisation. What she wanted to do was to let the imperial court directly intervene in the political situation of Japan and enforce justice, so that the Tokugawa family could regain control of the shogunate.]

"Is it authentic?"

[These are what she had in mind. She asked all the questions she should ask, and explained them very quickly. The rest is unclear. But one thing is certain - Miss Sato is serious about that little fat boy, Mr. Lei.]

"Does he know?"

【He had no idea. He was kept in the dark from beginning to end.】

"This is a good result. But in this case, I have to give him an explanation. It doesn't matter what happens to others, or how Miss Sato is dealt with. What I care about is that as a party involved and a victim, and also as my classmate, we have to inform him of the result. He needs to have some peace of mind."

[Wow, I discovered that you are sometimes kind. To your own people.]

"This is natural. I don't think it's a personal trait of mine. Caring for one's companions is an innate virtue of human beings."

[So are you going to tell her now? ]

"Well, please send me the information. I'm quite busy right now, but I can make the call myself."

[Your service is quite considerate. The information has been sent to you.]

"Please go ahead, Shangluo." On the other end of the phone, Lei Fu had already prepared himself mentally, "At this point, no matter what the facts are, I will accept them."

"Shiruzo, this is her code name. We will call her Shiruzo now."

"Did she lie to me? Isn't her last name Teng? I thought she was from Ryukyu. I thought her last name was Teng."

"She didn't lie to you. Her real name is Sugar. Sugar sounds the same as Sato in Japanese. She told you her real name. Her family runs a small sugar-making workshop and there are five brothers and sisters in the family. Sugar is their family's best-selling product. As the eldest daughter, she was named Sugar."

"What's her last name?"

"The Japanese don't have surnames like we do. The Japanese surnames represent the class they belong to. Other feudal lords use their own manors as surnames to distinguish each other, such as the Ashikaga clan in Ashikaga Manor. I don't know what you call her now, so I'll call her Miss Shiruzo. As an ordinary civilian, she doesn't have her own surname or clan name."

"Then how did Shiliu come up with this name?"

"That's her stage name. Or, it's a code name. After being promoted to a ninja by the Tokugawa family, she was trained in the Hattori Ninja Army, which has a tradition of serving the Tokugawa. This group of ninjas has been serving the Tokugawa family since the civil war in Japan. And she was chosen for only one reason."

"What is it?"

"She is very white. Her eyebrows are very thin, and her lips are very thin. She looks like someone from Kinai."

"Ah... Is this her crime, or her fate? What did she do?" "As for the details, it is not convenient to disclose them now because the case is still under investigation. But what I can say is that although she was instructed by the Tokugawa family, her actions were entirely out of her own will and she was not coerced. In fact, the Tokugawa family treated her very well and trained her as a spy to infiltrate Kinai, so she received a literary education from a young age that was enough to make her look real."

"Yes! That's right! She has read all the textbooks I have read. She has also read all the comics I have read. I thought we got along very well but I didn't expect that..."

"There's something I want to ask. It has nothing to do with the final outcome, but I want to hear your opinion."

"I am guilty, can you arrest me as well?"

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Shangluo replied, "Think carefully about your parents."

Shangluo reminded him with brief words.

"." He was silent for a while, and then woke up immediately, in less than 5 seconds, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that just now. I can't live only for myself. I was too impulsive just now."

"I understand." Shang Luo nodded on the phone. "If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to calm down in such a short time. I just want to tell you not to do anything stupid. If you have anything to say to her, we can help pass it on. If you have anything to say to us, please tell us now."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You should have heard of the methods used by the Imperial Prison. If possible, we don't want to use too many technical means, which will inevitably cause damage. For the time being, we just used ordinary conversations to get a lot of valuable information from her. But there is one thing we are not sure of: she may not even know what she has forgotten."

"Is that possible?"

"Yes. From my experience, I have seen many people who can do it. So for her and for your own sake, I suggest you recall it - of course, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it, because this matter has nothing to do with you anymore."

"Wait! I think I can still recall it!"

"Time waits for no one." Shang Luo looked at his watch. "I suggest you make plans early. If you really can't remember, don't force it. Because no matter what she confesses, no matter what you do, I'm afraid it won't shake her guilt in the slightest. Do you understand?"

"Wait, I remember she gave me a coin!"

"coin?"

"Yes! I have a coin here! She gave it to me on my birthday. I saw she was very serious about it. I just remembered it too."

[Indeed, he did just remember it. Did you help him restore his memory? How did you do that?]

"Sincerity. After all, he is one of us, so it's enough as long as he is sincere enough. Of course, I am prepared for his uncooperativeness, but I don't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, the Heavenly Court only cares about the Heavenly Court's affairs."

Then he said to Lei Fu: "The Royal Guards will come to you to get the coins in a while. What do you say? Do you have any other requests? For example, you want to see her?"

"I still... I still can't do it." He replied, "I know the seriousness of this matter. I have a family and my parents. I am not a very smart child. I took a long time to pass the exam for the Chinese Academy. I want to be a historian in the future. As a historian, I separate my life and work. I think this is the most basic quality."

"Thank you for your help with the case. I'll give you a few words of advice. You won't be implicated in this case. You can trust your own people. I'll get it myself later. Just give it to me."

He hung up the phone and said to Phaethon:
"You heard it, too, right? I'm going out for a while. The house is too messy, so let's go out for dinner tonight. Where to go? Let's go to Songlin Pavilion to check it out. It seems like someone wants to order some special dishes there."
