"According to our investigation, the cause of the incident is very likely to be related to Tsunayashiro Tokinada's killing of his wife, who was a Shinigami, earlier."
Shihouin Kongchan first mentioned the incident that had caused quite a stir recently.
For this matter, few people initially knew about it.
But as Kyoraku Shunsui took the initiative to contact Central 46, and as the Kuchiki family made efforts against the Tsunayashiro family, many among the dead gods knew about it.
And as captains of Gotei 13, some liked to listen to gossip from nobles when they were free. Not to mention, the subject of this gossip was the great noble Tsunayashiro family.
So this matter was known to most people in the room.
Everyone didn't show doubts, but continued to listen.
Shihouin Kongchan continued:
"After this matter was tried by Central 46, Tsunayashiro Tokinada, as a murderer, had no choice but to be executed. I guess, the Tsunayashiro family should have been preparing to sacrifice him in order to maintain justice."
"But during this process, something may have happened, which caused the tragedy of the Tsunayashiro family."
Why did Shihouin Kongchan guess that the Tsunayashiro family would sacrifice Tsunayashiro Tokinada?
Of course, it was because the Tsunayashiro family had no other choice.
If the matter had not been revealed, they could naturally have hidden the fact that Tsunayashiro Tokinada had killed Tsunayashiro Utamasa, but because of Kyoraku Shunsui, Central 46 knew about it.
Afterwards, the Kuchiki family pressed even more.
Under such circumstances, the Tsunayashiro family had only one choice left – to sacrifice Tsunayashiro Tokinada and maintain "justice."
Of course, this was also related to Tsunayashiro Tokinada being only the last seat in the branch house. If it had been Tsunayashiro Tokiyo, it would have been another matter, and the family would definitely have protected him.
"That is to say, the tragedy of the Tsunayashiro family was very likely because Tsunayashiro Tokinada refused to obey the trial and was unwilling to submit to the law, so he acted first and slaughtered his own family."
Jūshirō Ukitake, listening to Shihouin Kongchan's words, began to speculate.
"It's very likely so," Shihouin Kongchan said.
After Shihouin Kongchan finished explaining the reason, Captain Yamamoto spoke again:
"The Tsunayashiro family is a great noble. The massacre of the main house is of an extremely bad nature. We absolutely cannot tolerate the murderer Tsunayashiro Tokinada, who slaughtered his family, getting away with it. Judging from the fact that he killed the entire Tsunayashiro family, his strength should not be underestimated."
"Therefore, today this captain's meeting is held to discuss how to bring Tsunayashiro Tokinada to justice."
The expressions of the captains all became serious.
Then, the division of labor began.
If they wanted to bring Tsunayashiro Tokinada to justice, the most important thing was to find his whereabouts.
Fortunately, what happened at the Tsunayashiro house was last night, and not much time had passed. At the scene, Tsunayashiro Tokinada did not deal with the crime traces carefully.
So he left a lot of spiritual residue at the scene.
According to its remaining spiritual signature, Gotei 13 quickly and accurately grasped the whereabouts of Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
This was also one of the conventional methods of tracking: to use the Reiatsu released by the target to search for traces based on their spiritual pressure. Of course, if the target wore a device that could isolate Reiatsu, there would be nothing they could do.
But it seemed Tsunayashiro Tokinada did not have such a device, because he did not have much preparation before the murder.
It was still in the First Division room.
Many captains were still discussing the Tsunayashiro family.
Hikifune Kirio brought the results of the Twelfth Division investigation.
"After the massacre of the Tsunayashiro family, based on the on-site spiritual wave reaction, Tsunayashiro Tokinada opened a boundary in a special way."
"The opened boundary connects Hueco Mundo and the real world. We investigated the real world again, but did not find any Reiatsu belonging to Tsunayashiro Tokinada. Therefore, there is only one place where he could have gone – Hueco Mundo."
As soon as this conclusion came out, the captains were a little surprised.
"It's an unexpected choice to go to Hueco Mundo," Hirako Shinji said with emotion.
Hueco Mundo was not a good place for Soul Society's Shinigami.
There was Hollow migration there, and if a Shinigami went there, they could be besieged by Menos Grande.
So, over the years, very few Shinigami had taken the initiative to go to Hueco Mundo, and among them, many captains hadn't even set foot there.
Of course, that didn't mean Shinigami couldn't make it to Hueco Mundo.
In the long history of the Soul Society, it had also organized expeditionary forces to go to Hueco Mundo to maintain the balance of souls by beheading Hollow groups.
To this day, some Shinigami who went to Hueco Mundo had not returned; they all died there.
"It's not surprising to make such a choice. After all, in the World of the Living, the concentration of spirit particles is too low. If Tsunayashiro Tokinada went there, he would be extremely eye-catching and we would easily find him. Hueco Mundo is different. It is vast and boundless, and the concentration of spiritual particles is extremely high. Although it is dangerous there, it is also very difficult for us to find him."
The new captain of the Ninth Division, the stern Muguruma Kensei, also gave his opinion.
"Then, shall we let him go like this?" Love Aikawa, the captain of the Seventh Division, another new captain, asked immediately. Because he had not participated in too many captain meetings, he was unclear about how the captain would handle this matter.
Captain Yamamoto looked serious.
"My old man says this: the captain's meeting is held today to bring Tsunayashiro Tokinada to justice."
"Hueco Mundo is not outside the law."
"This old man has decided to send a captain to Hueco Mundo to arrest Tsunayashiro Tokinada."
"Who wants to go to Hueco Mundo?"
He looked at the captains before him, waiting for them to recommend themselves.
The captains looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the Captain-Commander actually asked them to volunteer.
To go to Hueco Mundo to capture Tsunayashiro Tokinada – leaving aside the harsh environment of Hueco Mundo, Tsunayashiro Tokinada himself was not a simple character. His Reiatsu had not weakened at all.
Although the nature of this incident was very bad, in the final analysis, it was because nobles were involved, and Central 46 ordered Gotei 13 to bring the criminal to justice.
There was absolutely no need for them to get deeply involved.
It was not a good thing to participate too much in noble affairs.
Many captains thought so.
Muguruma Kensei and Love Aikawa, who spoke earlier, did not recommend themselves, and Hikifune Kirio of the Second Division did not recommend herself.
Jūshirō Ukitake wanted to speak, but Kyoraku Shunsui gave him a look.
He immediately thought of his body again and gave up.
Fortunately, someone recommended themselves…
