Chapter 1507: Interrogation
Su Xiao looked at Soi-Fong in confusion, as if he couldn't understand what she was even saying.
— Why don't you come in? Soi-Fon asked and narrowed her eyes as her petite body tensed.
— What is this place and why should I enter it? Su Xiao asked back and took two steps back.
Seeing this, Soi-Fong's thin lips twitched slightly, but she restrained herself from laughing because Su Xiao's reaction was too normal.
If he had gone inside calmly, Soi-Fong would have been sure that something was wrong with Su Xiao.
Even a man with a clear conscience would have thought twice about it, much less a man with sins in his bosom. If Su Xiao calmly went inside, it would show that he was hiding something. Everyone was afraid for their lives, but if a person didn't show this one, it meant that they were hiding something.
— It doesn't matter, you're going to be questioned, " Soi — Fong said and stared into Su Xiao's eyes, but unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed.
— Su Xiao thought for a moment and quickly realized something. "The captains are waiting for me there?
— Certainly.
— Retsu too?
— Stop talking nonsense and come in already, " Soi-Fon said, clearly getting impatient. After hesitating for about ten seconds, Su Xiao went inside.
What he was sure of was that Seireitei had already begun clearing out the traitors.
But Su Xiao didn't care too much. He wasn't the only traitor. Aizen, Gin, and Tosen were in the same boat with him. Of the thirteen captains, three were traitors.
As Su Xiao stepped inside, the kerosene lamps on both sides of the walls lit up and illuminated the space.
It was an interrogation room, with a wooden chair in the center, and a huge wooden round table around the chair.
Soi-Fong stepped forward and motioned for Su Xiao to come forward and sit in the center.
He sat down at the designated spot and looked around. There were currently four people sitting at a round wooden table. Shunsui Kyeraku, captain of the 8th squad, Kaname Tousen, captain of the 9th Squad and Aizen's accomplice, Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of the 10th Squad, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, captain of the 12th Squad.
After seeing these four people, Su Xiao knew that today's interrogation was unavoidable.
Someone was so unhappy with his way of doing things that they wanted to get something out of him.
At the moment, Su Xiao was not only connected to Gotei 13, but also had quite successful dealings with the great noble families of Seireitei.
Considering that he was the creator of spirit balls, it was easy for him to gain favor from them.
There were only four great noble families in Seireitei. They were close to the royal family, which was why they had so much power.
These families were: the Kuchiki Clan, the Shihoin Clan, the Tsunayashiro Clan, and the fourth clan.
Su Xiao was able to establish contact with three of them. In the past, he said that he could create and supply 100 spirit balls a day, but in reality, he supplied 200 balls, 100 of which went to Seireitei, and the remaining 100 went to the three great families. Fifty went to the Kuchiki family, thirty to the Shihoin family, and twenty to the Tsunayashiro family.
As for the fourth family, she didn't show prudence and wanted to receive spirit balls from him for nothing, so the negotiations obviously failed.
Yamamoto, of course, knew about this, but he could only turn a blind eye to it. Seireitei didn't belong to him alone. The four great, no, three great noble families also had great power.
If he had interfered in this matter, it would have led to a clash of interests, but the fact that Gotei 13 managed most of Seireitei, given all the buts, was quite a surprising development.
In fact, given those present at this interrogation, it was obvious that Gotei 13 couldn't just ignore the three great families. Among the four captains present at the interrogation, none of them had anything to do with the three great nobles. Even Soi-Fon, who was the leader of the "sweep group", did not directly participate in the interrogation, as this would lead to an obvious conflict of interest.
Soi-Fon was born into a lower-level noble family, and this family served the Shihoin family. In other words, through one knee, Soi-Fong was a member of the Shihoyin family, so she couldn't directly participate in Su Xiao's interrogation.
It was Mayuri who suggested that Su Xiao be interrogated. Yamamoto was concerned about this suggestion because Su Xiao was no longer a scholar of the fourth squad that they could manipulate at will. Only a few people knew about all the backstage squabbles.
However, in the end, the old man still agreed to this suggestion and decided to conduct this interrogation in secret, despite the protest of the Kuchiki and Shihoin families.
Spirit balls were very important to the old clans. They made it possible to train the younger generation without wasting a large number of resources. If the scion of a noble family eats spirit balls from childhood, then even if they don't have the talent and motivation to become stronger, they will still end up with their spiritual sword and sword-related abilities. This was great news for the noble families.
Originally, Shunsui Kyeraku wanted to invite Byakuya Kuchiki for questioning as well. After all, Byakuya Kuchiki was a very honest guy, but the old man of the Kuchiki family politely turned him down for him. This was the attitude of the Kuchiki family.
As for the Tsunayashiro family, they didn't do anything.
Only, if Su Xiao could leave the interrogation room today, the Tsunayashiro family would no longer receive spirit balls from him.
No one would continue to feed a dog that could bite its owner's hand at any moment.
Shunsui Kyeraku, Kaname Tousen, Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at each other.
— Since everyone is here, let's get started...
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao understood what they wanted from him. This was not an interrogation, but a test. Questioning wasn't their main goal. They wanted to see Su Xiao's reaction before he entered the interrogation room.
However, when Shunsui Kyeraku was asking about what Su Xiao was doing when Aizen was killed, he was interrupted in mid-sentence by Mayuri.
The meaning of what Mayuri said was very simple. Before Su Xiao came here, everything was fine, but as soon as he showed up, all this started happening.
In response, Su Xiao said that he would not mind being closely monitored.
It was the perfect answer, but Mayuri wanted to imprison Su Xiao in his prison so that he could get all the information he needed out of him.
Of course, they couldn't put him in jail, at least not right now, they didn't have any evidence on him at all, and Su Xiao's contribution couldn't be negated just because of a few words from Mayuri.
Eventually, this interrogation slowly began to fade away, and Su Xiao was no longer the number one suspect.
From the beginning to the end, Su Xiao lived in the headquarters of the first squad and was under Nanke's constant surveillance. They tried to find some clues, but all their attempts were futile, and what's more, they now had only one suspect, the Guardian who had risen from the grave.
An hour later, the interview came to an end.
— At most, four days, no, three days, " Su Xiao muttered as he left the interrogation room.
While the interrogation was going on, another spiritual sword was stolen, the spiritual sword of the captain of the 13th squad.
Yes, he decided to speed up his plans.
He was in a very dangerous situation, but that was normal. His method of penetration was different from Aizen's. Aizen rarely took action after infiltrating Seireitei, while Su Xiao did the opposite. His time was limited, and he had to do something constantly, otherwise all these games were meaningless, but in any case, if everything went wrong today, he would let them know that sometimes it was necessary to stop at a certain point and not go further where they were going. didn't ask for it.
