Chapter 1497: Interrogation

Su Xiao looked at Soi Fon with doubt, seemingly unable to understand what the other party was saying, but he didn't enter the room immediately.

"Why, don't dare to enter."

Soi Fon's eyes narrowed, and her petite body tightened.

"Of course, what kind of place is this? Why does it feel a bit gloomy."

Su Xiao not only didn't enter the room but instead retreated two steps. Seeing this scene, Soi Fon's thin lips twitched imperceptibly. She held back and didn't laugh, because Su Xiao's reaction was too normal. If he entered the room calmly, Soi Fon could be sure that Su Xiao must have a problem.

An upright person isn't afraid of a crooked shadow? Sometimes that wasn't the case. If Su Xiao entered the room calmly, it would instead show that he was disguising something. Anyone had an instinctive fear, and those who restrained their instincts were nine times out of ten disguising.

"It doesn't matter what kind of place this is, but you are about to be judged."

Soi Fon stared at Su Xiao's eyes. Unfortunately, Su Xiao was destined to disappoint her.

"Judgment..."

Su Xiao pondered for a moment and soon thought of something.

"Is the Captain-Commander in the room?"

"Of course."

"Is Captain Unohana also there?"

"Stop talking nonsense, get in quickly."

Soi Fon began to lose patience. After Su Xiao hesitated for more than ten seconds, he stepped into the room. What he could be sure of was that the Seireitei had begun to clean up traitors.

Regarding this point, Su Xiao didn't care too much. He wasn't the only traitor; Aizen, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname were all traitors. Among the thirteen captains, three traitors had emerged.

Just as Su Xiao walked into the room, the oil lamps on both sides of the wall were lit, and everything in the room was illuminated. This was an interrogation room. In the center was a wooden chair, surrounded by a circular wooden table.

Soi Fon came behind Su Xiao, signaling Su Xiao to enter the empty space in the center of the circular wooden table and sit on the wooden chair in the center.

Su Xiao was very cooperative. After he sat down, his gaze swept around. Four people were sitting behind the circular wooden table, clearly: Kyoraku Shunsui (Eighth Division Captain), Tosen Kaname (Ninth Division Captain, Aizen's accomplice), Hitsugaya Toshiro (Tenth Division Captain), and Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

Seeing these four people, Su Xiao knew that today's interrogation was stable. Tosen Kaname, this traitor, was sitting in the interrogation seat. If Su Xiao were interrogated and something was found out, his quick wit would be too weak.

More importantly, Su Xiao was now not only related to the Gotei 13 but also had cooperative relationships with the great noble families in the Seireitei. As the manufacturer of Reishi spheres, it was simple for him to unite with these great families.

There were four great noble families in the Seireitei, which were the high-ranking nobles. Their bloodlines were close to the royal family, so they had great power.

The four great noble families were: Kuchiki family, Shihouin family, Tsunayashiro family, and Shiba family.

Su Xiao had contacted three of the four great noble families. On the surface, he could manufacture 100 Reishi spheres every day, but the real number was 200. Among them, 100 for the Gotei 13, 50 for the Kuchiki family, 30 for the Shihouin family, 20 for the Tsunayashiro family. The Shiba family was too declining, and when they contacted Su Xiao, they couldn't produce any sincerity for cooperation.

Regarding this, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was of course clearly aware, but he could only pretend not to see it. The Seireitei wasn't his alone, and the three great noble families also had no small power.

This was the division of interests. The Gotei 13 occupied the majority, which was already very prestigious.

It could be seen from the captains who interrogated Su Xiao today that the Gotei 13 couldn't ignore the three great noble families. Among these four captains, no one was related to the three great noble families. Soi Fon, who was the assassination unit, didn't directly participate in the interrogation of Su Xiao. The interest relationship was already very obvious.

Soi Fon was born into the lower-ranking noble Bee family. The Bee family was a subordinate family of the Shihouin family, which meant Soi Fon was a member of the Shihouin family, so she couldn't directly participate in the interrogation of Su Xiao.

Interrogating Su Xiao was proposed by Kurotsuchi Mayuri. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had a headache about this suggestion because Su Xiao was no longer a researcher of the Fourth Division who could be manipulated at will. The relationships involved behind him were only known to a few people.

But Yamamoto Genryusai still agreed to this suggestion, resisting the protests of the Kuchiki family and the Shihouin family, and convened this secret interrogation.

Reishi spheres were very important to the great noble families. This thing was a rare resource used to cultivate the younger generation. If a descendant of a great noble family ate Reishi spheres from childhood, then after they grew up, even if they didn't have much talent, at least Bankai Zanpakuto wouldn't be a problem. This couldn't help but make those great noble families moved.

Originally, Kyoraku Shunsui wanted to find Kuchiki Byakuya to come as well. Kuchiki Byakuya was after all a very upright person, but the old man of the Kuchiki family politely refused. This was the attitude of the Kuchiki family. As for the Tsunayashiro family, they didn't do anything.

As long as Su Xiao could walk out of the interrogation room today, there would be no more "Tsunayashiro family" in the distribution of Reishi spheres. They didn't even want to follow the principle of taking people's hands and being soft. Su Xiao didn't need this kind of high-and-mighty partner.

Kyoraku Shunsui, Tosen Kaname, Hitsugaya Toshiro, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked at each other.

"Since the person has arrived, let's begin..."

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao basically figured out what was going on. This wasn't an interrogation, but a probe. Interrogation wasn't the main purpose, but Su Xiao's reaction before entering the room was the key.

However, when Kyoraku Shunsui asked what Su Xiao was doing during the events such as Aizen's murder, he was interrupted by Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's meaning was very simple: before Su Xiao entered the Seireitei, it was peaceful here, but after Su Xiao came, things kept happening. No matter how one said it, he should be closely observed for a period of time.

This was just a nice way of saying it. Kurotsuchi Mayuri's purpose was to imprison Su Xiao, and then he would have the opportunity to torture Su Xiao.

Imprisoning Su Xiao without any evidence was of course not very likely. The contributions Su Xiao made to the Seireitei couldn't be erased by a few words from Kurotsuchi Mayuri. Now this was a routine investigation, and Su Xiao wasn't the primary suspect.

From beginning to end, Su Xiao lived in the First Division barracks and was monitored by Nan Que of the Onmitsukido. No matter how one investigated, there was no direct evidence that the changes in the Seireitei were related to Su Xiao. Moreover, there was the Ryoka invasion, which was a more suspicious target.

Su Xiao was no longer worried about this kind of interrogation from the Seireitei. What he cared more about was whether those captain-level Soul Reapers would make a direct move. If he didn't want to close his eyes and wait for death, he only had to fight back. If that situation happened, he would have to end the plan ahead of time and give Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and Aizen a "surprise."

"At most four days, no, three days."

An hour later, Su Xiao walked out of the interrogation room, muttering to himself. At the same time, Thirteenth Division Captain Ukitake Jushiro's Zanpakuto was stolen. It was very obvious that Su Xiao had accelerated the progress of the plan.

Su Xiao's situation was already starting to be dangerous, or rather, this was the normal development of the situation. His infiltration method was different from Aizen's. Aizen rarely made a move after infiltrating the Seireitei, while Su Xiao was the opposite. His time was limited, and he had to do something during the infiltration, otherwise, he would suffer a huge loss. ===== CHAPTER 1498 =====
