Chapter 33

Uchiha Liuying, having understood the situation, didn't stay long and left.

Uchiha Gin, confused, really couldn't piece together any useful truth based on these fragmented clues.

After weighing it, he decided to do the work at hand first.

Because he had figured out that the files were divided by color, organizing them was twice the result with half the effort. In a short while, he had sorted the messy scrolls.

Looking at the three piles of scrolls of different colors before him, Uchiha Gin began the next step of sorting.

Archive scrolls not only had to be divided according to the dungeon, but each prisoner's file had to be clearly marked and listed in a directory for precise reference.

After thinking for a while, he decided to start organizing from the cyan scrolls,

"Shimura Jin'er: Shimura clan, poisoned the water source at the Uchiha clan grounds, causing twenty-three Uchiha clansmen to die from poisoning, skilled in Wind Release, poisons."

Too despicable, must be put on the first level.

"Sarutobi Takinosuke: Sarutobi clan, ambushed the Uchiha clan's supply unit, causing twelve deaths and five permanent disabilities, skilled in Fire Release, Earth Release, Summoning Jutsu."

Too ferocious, must be on the first level.

"Yamanaka Ichino: Yamanaka clan,..."

Flipping through quite a few cyan scrolls, Uchiha Gin discovered that most of these criminals came from famous families of the future.

It seems that even in the Warring States Period, the growth of civilian ninjas was still difficult, and the outstanding ones were mostly family ninjas.

The number of cyan scrolls was not large; those who could be caught and put into the No. 1 dungeon were all criminals with deep sins.

This type of criminal basically had relatively strong strength and could not be easily captured, so there were only a few dozen people.

Soon, the cyan scrolls were organized. During this period, Uchiha Gin also checked the capture records, which were basically captured before six years ago, with no suspicious targets.

Scratching his curly hair, Uchiha Gin set his sights on the blue scrolls and continued to organize, hoping that valuable clues could appear,

Unfortunately, even after flipping through half of them, he didn't find any suspicious personnel.

Most of the criminals in the blue scrolls were small families or wandering ninjas. Their strength was not strong, and most of their crimes were spying on information or ambushing lone Uchiha clansmen, etc.

After looking through them, Kaguya Zhangzhu's crime was actually the heaviest among the blue scrolls, but because of his mental problems, he couldn't communicate effectively, so he was demoted to the No. 2 dungeon.

There were quite a few more scrolls in the No. 2 dungeon than in the No. 1 dungeon. Uchiha Gin had only looked through more than half of them when he felt his eyes sore and his head swollen, very much like the symptoms of not wanting to work in his previous life.

Work should combine labor and rest. Uchiha Gin, comforting himself this way, put down the work in his hand, closed his eyes, and began to slack off.

Just as he was closing his eyes to rest, a cautious knock on the door sounded,

"Please come in."

Hearing someone knock, Uchiha Gin immediately opened his eyes and picked up a scroll to start "working."

The one who pushed the door and entered was Uchiha Lu Cha, whom he had seen yesterday. Seeing him cautiously looking to see if there were any other people in the room, and finding only Uchiha Gin, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Gin is so dedicated to his work, truly a model for us."

Seeing Uchiha Gin holding a scroll and flipping through it seriously, Uchiha Lu Cha immediately gave him a rainbow fart.

"Not at all, I'm just doing my job."

Uchiha Gin waved his hand modestly,

"I don't know what brings Brother Lu Cha here."

"Lord Gin, you are really embarrassing me. Just call me Lu Cha."

"No matter, Brother Lu Cha, I don't know what advice you have."

Seeing that there was no one around, Uchiha Lu Cha stepped forward a few steps and said to Uchiha Gin in a low voice,

"Lord Gin, I have already found clues to the matter you ordered."

Yesterday, after taking Uchiha Gin's mission, Uchiha Lu Cha immediately took action, asking around in all three dungeons. Finally, heaven rewards the diligent, and he managed to get a piece of news from an older jailer.

"Brother Lu Cha, please speak."

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows, thinking that this guy's efficiency was not bad, finding clues in just one day.

"According to an old jailer here, the layout of this dungeon wasn't like this before."

As he spoke, Uchiha Lu Cha pointed to the dungeon map hanging on the wall, pointing to the position between the No. 1 dungeon and the No. 2 dungeon, and continued,

"There used to be four dungeons here, but just six years ago, Elder Yan abandoned one of them, leaving only the current three dungeons."

Uchiha Lu Cha drew a circle in a relatively large blank area between the No. 1 and No. 2 dungeons, signaling that another dungeon had once existed there.

"Since it was abandoned, it means it wasn't used anymore, right?" Uchiha Gin asked after thinking according to common sense.

"I don't know if it was used or not, but that old jailer said that before that dungeon was abandoned six years ago, someone was secretly imprisoned there."

Uchiha Lu Cha said mysteriously.

"Since it was secret, how did he know?"

Although the news of secret imprisonment was very tempting, didn't this old jailer know a bit too much?

"Ah, I didn't ask that."

Uchiha Lu Cha was speechless for a moment by this jumping question.

He really hadn't thought about why the other party so easily told this secret news to himself, whom he had never met before. Could it be just because he revealed that he was a confidant of the clan leader's nephew who had just arrived?

"Forget it, continue, what else did that old jailer tell you."

This suddenly appearing mysterious old jailer vaguely made him feel that something was wrong. The timing of the other party's appearance was also too good.

"He told me that after that person was locked in, he never came out again. Not long after, Elder Yan announced that the dungeon was in disrepair and abandoned it directly."

Uchiha Lu Cha swallowed his saliva, relieving his dry throat.

"What kind of person was imprisoned?"

Locked in six years ago, could it be the group of people who attacked the Uchiha clan grounds?

"I asked that old jailer, and he didn't pay any more attention to me after saying the previous things."

Uchiha Lu Cha said a bit awkwardly.

"Where is that old jailer now?"

Having finally found some clues, Uchiha Gin didn't want to give up.

"He is in the No. 3 dungeon, doing cleaning work because of his personal reasons."

Uchiha Lu Cha found it hard to speak.

"Why?"

"That old jailer is blind."

Uchiha Lu Cha's guilty eyes dodged.

???

The person involved who knew these things was actually a blind man, so the accuracy of this news was open to question.

No wonder Uchiha Lu Cha could find the news so quickly; it turned out he didn't even let go of a blind man.

"Thank you, Brother Lu Cha. If there is any more news, please tell me as soon as possible."

Learning that the source of the news actually came from an old blind man, it seemed that this news mostly had elements of fabrication.

After all, how could a low-status jailer know about such a secret secret escort?

"Don't dare, don't dare. Being able to serve Lord Gin is my honor."

Uchiha Lu Cha looked terrified.

Frowning, Uchiha Gin recalled the original owner's memory.

From his memory, although the original owner had a strange temper and sometimes bullied clansmen who provoked him by relying on his status as the clan leader's nephew.

But for clansmen who had no malice toward him, the original owner had no extreme behavior. So why would ordinary clansmen be so afraid of him?

"Brother Lu Cha, how do clansmen usually see me?" Uchiha Gin asked.

Uchiha Lu Cha, who was asked a life-or-death question, had drifting eyes, not knowing how to speak when the words reached his lips.

Although the past two days of getting along made him feel that the Uchiha Gin opposite him was not as unbearable as the rumors, he couldn't guarantee that the other party was "fishing for law enforcement."

"Brother Lu Cha, given our current relationship, feel free to speak your mind."

Uchiha Gin showed a friendly smile, patted Uchiha Lu Cha on the shoulder, signaling that he was one of his own now and didn't need to have any scruples.

"Then I'll say it."

As if having made up his mind, Uchiha Lu Cha gritted his teeth, raised his head, and revealed a momentum of being ready to die.

After brewing his words, Uchiha Lu Cha squeezed out a sentence,

"As far as I know, Uchiha Gin is just a pure-blooded piece of trash."
