Chapter 270 Handing Over the Doll, Zaoyou Panics
Whether something is right or wrong is not up to you to decide.
After saying that, Kujo Sara crossed her arms and walked over to the group with a gloomy expression.
"The Heavenly Commander received intelligence that some people are hoarding and reselling statues at inflated prices during the Rongcai Festival. Although these statues are not strategic materials, price fluctuations are a normal market phenomenon..."
"However, it is an outright violation of the law for internal personnel to use their positions to falsify accounts and embezzle goods!"
After saying that, Kujo Sara put her hands on her hips, looking slightly annoyed.
Then, seeing Shunping looking down helplessly, she continued to speak.
“We have investigated the situation at the rooftop. Although the accounts are correct, two bags of Mora in the money box contain stones.”
Upon hearing her words, Shunping felt as if the sky had fallen.
"This...this is not my fault, the shop assistant sold it to me!"
Kujo Sara ignored his explanation and continued speaking.
"As evidence, please hand over your [Statue of Lord Mitakenami]. As for your losses, they will be fully refunded to you once the perpetrators are apprehended."
"Oh well, I didn't expect... he actually falsified the accounts. I was so happy for nothing."
After saying that, Junpei pursed his lips and handed the doll to Kujo Sara.
After handing over the money, he left the scene with mixed feelings.
"I didn't expect you guys to notice the commotion at the rooftop so quickly, Sara?"
Watching Shunpei leave, Paimon gave Kujo Sara an approving thumbs-up.
"We just received this lead, and we haven't yet mobilized all our manpower to apprehend him... Hmm? And this is..."
Kujo Sara noticed Hayaru trying to make herself inconspicuous and asked, puzzled.
"Oh no!! We've been caught..."
Realizing that she had been seen by Kujo Sara, Hayato helplessly raised her hands, striking a pose as if she were ready to die.
After Paimon kindly explained, Kujo Sara withdrew her curious gaze.
"Oh? So you're the [professional] that Lord Kuji invited? I was wondering why I hadn't seen you for so long... Lord Kuji said you would be sending the doll over soon, but I didn't expect... you'd hide in their ranks."
"Uh... um... we... are busy investigating the dolls... ah, investigating the discrepancy in the number of [Statue of Mikage Naruto]... I'm sorry, we didn't deliver the dolls to you in time, please don't take Hayasu away!"
After saying that, Zaoyou put her hands together, and a look of grievance appeared in her eyes.
"Arrest you? While I do indeed admire the [Statue of Lord Mikatsu Narukami], even if you fail your mission, I won't abuse my authority against you. As the magistrate of the Heavenly Territory, do I look like a villain?"
As Kujo Sara spoke, she crossed her arms in confusion.
"Ah... I met Lady Kuji on my way to the rooftop last night... She said that if I don't complete the mission, I'll be captured by the Heavenly Territory Envoy and won't be allowed to sleep for days and nights!"
After saying that, Zaoyou covered her head with both hands, completely unable to imagine that terrifying scene.
"Well... it was the Divine Child who did it. No wonder she said those things to us at noon. Now it seems... she was deliberately trying to fool us."
"That's true. You can't tell from Zaoyou that she has a tall physique or the perseverance to get up early!"
