Chapter 152 Investigation

"Most of the lost related medicines and medical scrolls are directly or indirectly related to cell recovery, cell activity, and spiritual research. Among the second batch of lost medicines, this correlation is even more obvious!"

Due to Sasuke's presence, Shizune felt even more confident when talking about her own deductions.

With Sasuke's supplement, the two briefly recounted to Uzuki Yugao the specific process of Orochimaru's initial search for Tsunade-sama to treat his arms.

Later, Shizune emphasized the condition of Orochimaru's arm injury and the corresponding characteristics of the currently missing medicine.

Everything inside and outside the words revealed an inference.

That is the current missing medicine incident, which is inextricably linked to Orochimaru's injured arm.

"So, what do you think?"

After Shizune finished speaking, both Uoyuki and Xiyan were silent and did not respond.

He couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"As for your inference, there is currently no direct evidence to show the connection between the two. It does seem a bit far-fetched."

Maoyue Xiyan said calmly.

"It's because there is no direct evidence that we need your ANBU to intervene in the investigation!"

Shizune was a little anxious.

"Yes. In the early stages of the case, we will not easily rule out any possibility, including the one you just mentioned. We welcome any conjecture that may help solve the case."

Maoyue Xiyan responded.

After hearing this, Shizune's expression calmed down a little.

"Speaking of which, it's time for Linjiao and the others to come back."

While Mao Yue Xiyan was talking to herself, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Captain Xiyan!"

Qing, who was wearing a frog mask, shouted and rushed in quickly.

"Linjiao, he got into a quarrel with someone over there at the first-level drug warehouse!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Yue Xiyan's expression changed slightly under her mask, and she walked quickly out the door without saying a word.

Sasuke and the others quickly followed, and the group hurried towards the medicine warehouse.

Before reaching the door of the medicine warehouse, the excited voice of an old man could be heard.

".I don't care what your ANBU is!

"The things inside are all important medicines and medical scrolls. If you touch a fingerprint, it will be a matter of life and death! Absolutely not allowed."

Everyone came closer to take a look.

An old man in a white robe was tearing at Linjiao.

Linjiao could neither advance nor retreat. He was speechless for a moment, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing out from his shiny bald head.

"Who is this?"

Uoyue Xiyan lowered her voice and asked Shizune behind her.

"Medical warehouse manager, Morikawa Tatsuya, an old man from Konoha Hospital."

After Shizune gave a brief answer, she immediately strode up to the old man and persuaded loudly:

"Senior Morikawa! This is an ANBU staff member personally invited by Tsunade-sama. He is here to investigate the missing medicines. Please help and cooperate."

"Stop using the dean to pressure me!"

But Morikawa Tatsuya didn't give any face, and still said angrily:

"Since you guys came back, Konoha Hospital has become more and more chaotic every day. There are no rules at all. Now, can you even come in and out of a place like the medicine warehouse at will?!"

"If you are so conscientious, how did you lose the medicine?"

Sasuke couldn't stand this kind of messy person, so he couldn't help but ask.

"? Who are you? Are ANBU personnel so rude now?!"

Morikawa Tatsuya turned to look at Sasuke, pointed at him with his finger, and even wanted to push him.

"Morikawa-senpai!"

Just when things were getting out of control, Shizune quickly came out to stabilize the situation and said:

“The loss of medicines is not a trivial matter.

"Behind the unknown whereabouts of any medicine, there may be an unidentified injured person. Further, it may be implicated in major events closely related to the peace of the village!"

Shizune said it seriously. The old man knew that he was in the wrong, but he still had a stubborn look on his face and firmly blocked the doorway, refusing to let go.

"Please step aside. I will supervise and accompany these people during the entire investigation. If anything goes wrong in the future, I will bear the responsibility alone."

Shizune continued.

Seeing Shizune's firm tone, Morikawa Tatsuya finally couldn't hold on anymore.

He snorted coldly, finally put his hands behind his back, turned his face and moved aside.

Seeing this, Maoyue Xiyan and others raised their legs and entered the medicine storehouse.

The space inside the house is actually not small, but as soon as you enter the door, there are rows of shelves and cabinets, each more than two meters high, and they are placed densely, making the whole environment look very cramped.

"Every night, the doors and windows here are locked. There will be people from the hospital patrolling outside from time to time at night, but they usually don't come in."

Shizune led the way while introducing the basic situation of the medicine warehouse.

"The two times things were lost, there were no signs of damage to the doors or windows, but this place clearly looked like it had been violently torn apart."

Shizune said, pointing her right hand to the innermost glass cabinet.

There was a chain lock hanging on the cabinet door.

Through the glass, you can see that all the things stored inside are scrolls.

"What is this lock?"

Maoyue Xiyan asked.

“This was recently replaced.

"This is the third lock. The first two locks were violently broken during the two thefts."

Shizune replied.

"You are too impatient."

Maoyue Xiyan shook her head silently in her heart.

In this way, it can be said that the crime scene has been completely destroyed.

A few people simply turned around a few times, but it was obvious that they would not gain anything.

The final decision was to go back first and start with the investigation.

"Qing, did you gain anything?"

Returning to the reception room again, Maoyue Xiyan asked.

"Judging from what I just visited, everyone's response to this matter is quite cold. They neither take it seriously nor want to talk more about it."

Qing replied.

"Who has the key to the medicine warehouse?"

Uoyuki Xiyan turned to look at Shizune and asked again.

"I have it in my hand. For convenience, the administrator of the medicine warehouse and the medical captains of several departments also keep the keys to the medicine warehouse to deal with their respective emergencies."

Shizune replied.

"Captain Xiyan, may I ask, do you suspect an insider is committing the crime?"

Shizune thought for a while and finally asked.

"Yes, judging from current signs, the possibility of insiders is relatively high."

Maoyue Xiyan nodded.

Everyone is unwilling to accept the investigation, most likely because they have some knowledge of the matter and do not want to offend their colleagues.

The doors and windows were not damaged after the crime, which is also a typical feature of internal crimes.

“However, the cabinet of medical scrolls was destroyed.

"If they are insiders, the chain can't stop them at all, and there is no need to use violent methods."

Shizune expressed her opinion.

"It is difficult for outsiders to pretend to be insiders, but it is not too difficult for insiders to make some cover-up disguises."

Qing said from the side.

"Don't you suspect that this matter has something to do with Orochimaru?"

Uoyuki Xiyan raised her head and said to Shizune.

"Please, please sort out the resumes, work information details and even logs of all the people who may have access to the keys to the medicine library. The more detailed the better. Maybe this will be a good breakthrough."

"Ok!"

Seeing that Uoyuki Xiyan agreed with her suspicion, Shizune immediately cheered up, said goodbye, and walked out of the reception room.

"Senior Xiyan, do you really believe that this matter has something to do with Orochimaru?"

After Shizune walked away, Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

"Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Maoyue Xiyan sighed and said.

“Right now, there is no live evidence in this case.

“It can be said that I have no clue at all, but if I want to investigate further, there must be a breakthrough.

"That's what investigating a case is. You have to pick a needle and thread from the sand. If there are no clues, you can only cover it with a big net. However, you can pick it out bit by bit."

Maoyue Xiyan taught.

"Today, I have to spend the whole day here again."

On the other side, Linjiao sighed, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

About half an hour later, Shizune walked in from the door holding a large pile of documents.

The tall documents were trembling, stacked from the position on Shizune's chest to covering half of her face.

"This is just the resume information of the past fifteen years. I have to continue to sort out the information going forward. Thank you for your hard work!"

Shizune put the documents on the table, bowed to everyone, and ran out quickly. Looking at the small mountain of documents, everyone looked at each other.

Mao Yue Xiyan walked to the desk by herself, randomly divided the documents into four parts, and said:

"Why are you still standing there, let's start working.

"Whether it's Orochimaru or other suspicious points, if you find them, report them at any time."

After finishing speaking, Uoyue Xiyan pulled up a stool, picked up the first page of the document and began to flip through it seriously.

Seeing this, Sasuke and others also walked to the table one after another.

I imitated Mao Yuexiyan's appearance and started the boring writing work.

During this period, Shizune came into the room several times to deliver documents.

The number of pages in the document is getting smaller and smaller each time, but the condition of the paper is getting older and older each time.

During the process of reading, Sasuke, Haru, and Kirikaku raised several doubts, but after Uzuki Xiyan carefully read through the relevant information, they rejected them one by one.

Finally, as dusk approached, Linjiao suddenly shouted:

"I knew there must be something wrong with this old boy!"

"What's it this time?"

Beside her, Qing looked over. After seeing clearly the document in Linjiao's hand, she couldn't help but chuckled:

"Don't avenge yourself privately."

Everyone looked at it, and in the upper right corner of the paper in Linjiao's hand was a photo of Morikawa Tatsuya, who had had a conflict with him before.

"Where is the public revenge? Look here!"

Linjiao argued, pointing to a location on the document.

Everyone was also attracted by it, and when they looked closely, they saw a line of small words written on this piece of paper:

On April 40, Konoha 4, at the request of the elite Jonin Orochimaru, 11 medical glass culture tanks and 30 ton of nutrient solution were raised;

"There's more later!"

Linjiao reminded.

Everyone looked back a few more lines, and another line of records read:

On June 40, Konoha 6, at the request of the elite Jonin Orochimaru, 24 medical glass culture tanks, 10 meters of rubber hoses, and 60 syringes were raised;

On February 41, Konoha 2, at the request of the elite Jonin Orochimaru, 10 medical glass culture tanks, 60 tons of nutrient solution, and 6 syringes were raised;

In short, between 40 and 42, Morikawa Tatsuya had close contacts with Orochimaru, and it can be said that he was fully responsible for the upstream supply of materials needed by Orochimaru-related medical research institutes.

"Okay, let's stop whatever we are doing."

Uoyue Xiyan looked down at the document for a long time, flipped through the previous and following pages, and finally gave instructions.

"Are we going to arrest someone?"

Qing said excitedly.

"No, not enough."

Uzuki Xiyan shook her head and told Sasuke to ask Shizune to come immediately, hoping that she would assist in further investigation.

"According to your original internal investigation, what was Tatsuya Morikawa doing on the day of the theft?"

"It's not easy for us to inquire about this kind of thing."

Shizune looked embarrassed and replied.

"What, are there any clues?

"Although Morikawa-senpai is a bit stubborn, he doesn't look like it."

Shizune inquired.

"We can't say too much yet."

Uoyuki Xiyan interrupted Shizune's words and sighed silently in her heart.

I thought to myself, why do you have to investigate when you obviously don’t pay attention to it.

Now, we are asked to do such offending things again.

However, this emotion only passed by briefly.

Later, Maoyue Xiyan interrogated the time of the crime and related details in detail, and wrote them down one by one on paper.

At the same time, from the pile of documents that Shizune had sent before, nearly three months' worth of attendance sheets and other work logs were dug out, and while asking, he was recording something on the paper.

Finally, Uoyuki Xiyan cleared her mind, closed her eyes again and went through it again. After confirming that there was no problem, she once again ordered Qing to send Shizune back.

By the way, I invite Tatsuya Morikawa to come over and have a chat.

"what's up?"

Old man Morikawa sat at the table opposite everyone and said impatiently.

On the other side, Linjiao silently walked to the door and locked the door to the guest room.

"Why lock the door?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Morikawa Tatsuya immediately wanted to stand up.

"Where were you that night on November 3rd last year?"

Maoyue Xiyan asked coldly.

The orange sunlight of dusk poured into the room, and Sasuke stared at the interrogation, filled with suspicion.

"Can not remember."

Morikawa Tatsuya answered quickly.

"Well, eight days ago, January 12th, where were you that night?"

"I don't remember either."

Morikawa Tatsuya looked impatient and answered calmly.

"Hey! Be honest! If we dare to call you here, you must have mastered something!"

Linjiao yelled loudly.

"What are you doing? I'm old and have a bad memory, can't I do that?!"

Morikawa Tatsu also choked back.

"Morikawa-senpai."

Mao Yue Xiyan's slender fingers tapped gently on the table, her voice was cold and cold, which made people feel relieved.

“If you don’t have a good memory, you can think about it slowly.

"If you really can't remember, we can go back to the ANBU detention room together. There, we have many ways to help you remember."

Morikawa Tatsuya suddenly felt a cold chill on his back. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said:

"Eight days ago, I was working normally. After get off work, I went to an izakaya for a drink. I went back around 11 p.m."

Seeing that Uozuki Xiyan and others were silent, Morikawa Tatsuya said anxiously:

"I drank so much that day that there was no way I could come back and do anything! The boss there can vouch for me!"

"Did I say what you did?"

Mao Yue Xiyan asked coldly.

Morikawa Tatsuya was speechless for a moment and had to lower his head and stop talking.

"Where were you that night on November 3rd last year?"

Maoyue Xiyan asked again.

Morikawa Tatsuya lowered his head and remained silent.

"Okay, I don't remember."

Maoyue Xiyan answered by herself, lowering her head to flip through the documents in her hand.

But the attendance sheet clearly shows that on November 3, Tatsuya Morikawa was absent from work. On November 4th, he was absent from work, and on November 5th, he was absent from work. On November 6th, normal attendance. "

Mao Yue Xiyan read the document in her hand expressionlessly, then raised her head and said coldly:

"I haven't been to work for three days in a row. Have you forgotten such an obvious thing?!"

"I, I was sick."

A trace of sweat broke out on Morikawa Tatsuya's forehead.

"Where did you go to see a doctor when you were sick? Which doctor diagnosed and treated you?"

Maoyue Xiyan presses forward step by step.

"Yes, it's an old problem. Just rest for a few days. I haven't diagnosed or treated it."

Morikawa Tatsuya replied.

"According to the information we have learned, on November 2nd, you had a direct conflict with Master Shizune and expressed great protest against the new work arrangements! You were so lively the day before, why did you suddenly fall ill the next day?"

Maoyue Xiyan continued to ask.

"I, I, then, the disease is coming like a mountain, how do I know!"

Morikawa Tatsuya's psychological pressure has reached the verge of collapse.

"However, just when you claimed that you were sick, someone saw you around the suburbs of the city. How can you explain this?!"

Maoyue Xiyan suddenly slapped the table, leaned forward, and threw out the final trump card.

Morikawa Tatsuya looked horrified and was sweating profusely. He no longer had the careless and arrogant look he had when he first entered the door.

He was speechless and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Did you say it yourself, or did I ask him to come in and confront you?"

"If you are willing to say it, your guilt may be lighter. Think carefully before you speak."

Uzuki Xiyan leaned back on the chair, her purple hair hanging down casually and trembling slightly, staring at Morikawa Tatsuya quietly without saying a word.

"Me, this is really my first time. I also want to teach them a lesson."

Morikawa Tatsuya said dejectedly.

Then, he raised his head again and said excitedly:

"Also, the theft eight days ago had nothing to do with me!!"

"Asshole! How dare you lie! How on earth did you deliver the medicine to Orochimaru and the others? How many times did you deliver it in total?! Tell me!"

Linjiao suddenly moved forward, grabbed Morikawa Tatsuya's chest, and asked fiercely.

However, facing his angry gaze was a pair of frightened and confused eyes.

"Orochimaru? What Orochimaru?"

Morikawa Tatsuya's whole body was shaking like chaff, and he responded blankly.
