Hearing the newcomer's words, Zenin Kiyoshi slightly raised his head and looked at him.
As expected, the man had a buzz cut, wore sunglasses, was about 1.8 meters tall, and had a muscular build that made his black Jujutsu High uniform bulge, giving him the air of a yakuza boss.
Masamichi Yaga, currently a grade-level director at Jujutsu High, was responsible for special cursed spirit cases in the Shibuya area.
Although he had never had direct contact with him, Zenin Kiyoshi had a certain understanding of this principal who died for his ideals, thanks to the plot of the original story.
He could be considered one of the few normal people in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Upon seeing that he was the one handling this matter, Zenin Kiyoshi felt a slight sense of relief.
He currently lacked the ability to confront the higher-ups directly. If he were to be punished for today's events, he didn't really have any good solutions.
In the worst-case scenario, he might even become a wanted criminal.
After all, although the higher-ups in the jujutsu world didn't have many particularly powerful fighters, the various resources and social connections they controlled were enough to cause him a lot of trouble right now.
Moreover, if he truly offended the higher-ups, it would become even more difficult for him to gain the affection of the main protagonists later, and he might even naturally become their opponent.
Therefore, in Zenin Kiyoshi's view, he would absolutely not choose to fall out with the higher-ups unless it was absolutely necessary.
But this didn't mean he had to obey all of the higher-ups' arrangements. At least in this matter, he wanted to try to work things out with Masamichi Yaga first.
So, Zenin Kiyoshi looked at Masamichi Yaga, his eyes filled with a faint sense of guilt, as if he was saddened by his failure to save the two people:
"Excuse me, was there something wrong? When we arrived, those two cursed spirits had already disappeared."
Masamichi Yaga frowned upon hearing this, but when he saw Zenin Kiyoshi's age of only ten, his expression softened slightly. Yaga always had more patience for children:
"The cursed energy residue here shows that the last place the cursed spirit appeared was here. I discovered it when I came in. There are only traces of the two cursed spirits rushing in, but no sign of them leaving. At the same time, there are signs of an unusual fight in the house, such as the big hole in the wall over there. That's obviously not something an ordinary person can do.
"Moreover, I happened to be dealing with another cursed spirit case nearby, and I didn't detect any cursed energy fluctuations around when I rushed over. The cursed spirit is most likely still in this house."
As he said this, Masamichi Yaga glanced at Toji beside him. Although he couldn't feel a single trace of cursed energy from the man in front of him, the sense of pressure he gave off was extremely strong. In front of him, Yaga felt an indescribable sense of suppression.
Hearing Masamichi Yaga's words, Zenin Kiyoshi felt a little helpless.
He had originally planned to clean up the surrounding cursed energy residue before Zenin Naobito and the people from Jujutsu High arrived. But as luck would have it, Yaga was dealing with a case nearby, which meant he had no time to clean up the scene here.
However, Zenin Kiyoshi quickly came up with an excuse. He looked at Masamichi Yaga, scratched his head a little awkwardly, and then explained:
"I made that hole. When I came in and found that these two people were already dead, I felt a little upset. I didn't hold back my strength and vented subconsciously, directly punching a hole in the wall. I'm sorry, do we need to pay for the repairs?"
The best lies are always mostly truth, mixed with one or two lies.
Hearing Zenin Kiyoshi's explanation, a flicker of approval flashed in Masamichi Yaga's eyes, which were hidden by his sunglasses.
In fact, the reason he said this in front of Zenin Kiyoshi was that he had seen that the shape of the cracks on the wall did not match the wounds on the two corpses at all, so he had made a misleading, false statement.
If Zenin Kiyoshi had gone along with his words and still said he didn't know anything, then it would mean that he definitely had a problem.
But now that the other party had given him an explanation, and the situation was similar to the attack cracks he had observed, it proved that Zenin Kiyoshi was probably not lying.
What's more, Zenin Kiyoshi was only a child of about ten years old now. Yaga didn't think he could have such a deep mind at this age.
As for Toji? Although he looked a bit scary, after repeatedly confirming that there was no trace of cursed energy on him, Yaga naturally excluded him from the scope of suspicion.
Hanami's cursed energy residue? It didn't exist here at all. At her level, as long as she didn't want to be discovered, even if she was standing right behind Yaga now, he wouldn't be able to detect her presence.
However, hearing Zenin Kiyoshi's answer, Masamichi Yaga was also a little troubled now. If it was really as Kiyoshi said, then where did the cursed spirit that killed these two people go? If they couldn't find it in time, the cursed spirit might continue to kill people later.
This was his area of responsibility, and he didn't want to see a few more inexplicable corpses here.
What a troublesome matter...
Masamichi Yaga rubbed his head. Then he sighed, looked at Zenin Kiyoshi in front of him, and said slowly:
"Although you've given an explanation, according to the rules, you still have to go to Jujutsu High with me. There will be someone there to ask you some questions and take a statement. As long as you're telling the truth, there won't be any problem."
Hearing Masamichi Yaga's words, Zenin Kiyoshi nodded, but he was a little resistant to this happening. After all, no one knew if there were any strange cursed tools at Jujutsu High. If there was a cursed tool similar to a lie detector, his own matters might be exposed.
And if he chose not to go, it would give people the impression of having a guilty conscience. Thinking of this, Zenin Kiyoshi felt a little helpless.
But at this moment, Zenin Naobito's voice came over:
"Hahaha, Yaga, are you going to take your student to the interrogation room for your first meeting? Don't you think that's a bit too impersonal?"
Hearing Zenin Naobito's words, Masamichi Yaga's face was slightly taken aback. He looked at Zenin Kiyoshi and then subconsciously asked:
"Are you Zenin Kiyoshi?"
