Everyone, including Qingdeng, who was attracted by the sound of footsteps, stopped what they were doing and turned around to look at the sound.

I saw Abi with a dust-proof white scarf on his head and a big broom in his hand. He strode into the dojo with a solemn expression as if he was going to the battlefield soon.

A Bi did not come alone.

Saito and Harada were by Abi's side.

Both of them had a dust-proof white scarf wrapped around their heads like Ah Bi, but the "weapons" they held were different.

Saito was holding a dustpan, while Harada was holding a large wooden ladder.

Abi brought Saito and Harada to the dojo... This was a rare sight, and Zhousuke hurriedly greeted it with a puzzled look on his face.

"Madam, Saito-kun, Harada-kun, why are you here? You still have a broom, dustpan, ladder... What are you doing?"

"Zhou Zhu." A Bi said in a deep voice, "A nest of rats has come to live in our place."

"Rat?" Zhou Zhu was stunned.

Abi nodded vigorously.

"I have been hearing strange noises from the ceiling since half a month ago."

"I just took down the ceiling in the kitchen, and when I looked up at the ceiling...oh my god, it's a bunch of rat shit."

"This rat can't be left at home, so I'm taking Saito and Harada, who are free now, to look for the rat."

"Mrs. Kondo, leave it to me as much as you like!" Harada on the side raised the long ladder in his hand and interjected in a triumphant tone, "Watch me move everything up and down the trial hall in three strokes.

All rats must be brought to justice!"

"That's not how 'bring him to justice' is used..." Saito silently corrected Harada's wording, whose cultural level could only be described as disaster.

"Well, with your words, I feel relieved." Abi nodded lightly to Harada, and then said seriously to Zhousuke, "Zhousuke, are there any strange noises coming from the ceiling of the dojo recently?"

"There seems to be no abnormal noise..."

"No abnormal sound? Forget it, for peace of mind, I'll check it out."

Abi turned his head and glanced at the apprentices who were still practicing swordplay in the dojo.

"Is everyone still practicing swordsmanship... Then I'll come back after the gym closes."

Having said this, Abi cleared his throat, then raised his head and said loudly to everyone in the dojo:

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

"A nest of rats has come to live in our trial room!"

"If any of you find a mouse in the trial hall, please kill it as soon as possible! Sorry for your trouble!"

Where there are many rats, people are more likely to get sick - this is hot knowledge that even an 8-year-old child knows.

Therefore, killing rats is everyone’s duty.

As soon as A Bi finished speaking, all the apprentices echoed him one after another, saying repeatedly that "every rat will be killed for sure."

It's day, evening——

Dong dong dong dong...

Qingdeng walked quickly, making a "dong-dong" sound on the corridor under his feet.

If possible, Qingteng would not want to interfere too much in the DG's housework. After all, it is best for the person concerned to handle the housework himself.

But the current situation of the General Office is really worrying.

The current state of the Souji is so bad that he can even hit the wall while walking...

How is the negotiation between Okita-kun and his sister going? Why has Okita-kun been so distracted these past two days? Did he and his sister break down? Even if the talks broke down, it wouldn't be like this... These questions are swirling in Qingto's mind and

In my heart, it still lingers.

When the time came to evening and the trial defense hall closed, Qingden finally couldn't sit still.

He quickly ran around the trial defense hall, looking for the General Secretary.

After Qingden's sweeping search, he quickly found the chief executive - he was sitting cross-legged on the verandah of the courtyard reading an arithmetic book.

Qingto could tell at a glance that Souji had not read the contents of the book at all.

The director-general's eyes were all straight and dull.

Although his eyes were on the pages of the book, his mind had already flown to nowhere.

"Okita-kun!" Aomori walked quickly towards Souji, shouting his name.

"Tangerine-kun?"

Perhaps because he noticed that Qingneng's expression was very solemn now, there was a hint of doubt in Souji's voice.

Qingdeng looked around and made sure that there were no "walls with ears", then he squatted down next to the General Secretary.

"Okita-kun." Qingto lowered his voice and said word by word, "You and your sister..."

Upon hearing the words "your sister", Souji's expression changed instantly.

Before Aomori finished speaking, Souji hurriedly closed the arithmetic book in his hand and stood up.

"Ji Jun, I'm sorry, I, I suddenly remembered something urgent to do..."

Having said that, without waiting for Qingteng's response, the director-general fled from Qingteng's eyes with his arithmetic book in his arms.

"Hmm? Okita-kun? Okita-kun?"

Qingteng hurriedly called out the chief's name, but no matter how he called, the chief showed no intention of stopping.

Aoto, who was squatting on the spot, looked blankly in front of him where Souji had disappeared, and then looked at the place where Souji was sitting just now.

"what happened to him……"

…

"Saito, have you seen Souji?"

"No."

…

"Okita-kun, I finally found you, you..."

"Um...I'm sorry! I want to go relieve myself now!"

…

"Tsk... where did Okita-kun go again... Ah, Harada, you came just in time, you..."

"Ah! Mr. Tachibana! You came at the right time! Saito told me today: The word 'bring him to justice' cannot be used to describe catching mice. Is this true? Bringing him to justice does not mean 'exhausting all possible means'

Do you mean 'catch you with a rope in every possible way'?"

…

"Ah, Okita-kun! You..."

"Tachibana-kun, I'm sorry! I remembered some urgent matters that need to be dealt with immediately! See you later!"

…

…

Tonight is a clear full moon night.

At this moment, just as the moon was rising, the white full moon hung high in the sky. The clear moonlight pouring down from the sky covered everything where the moonlight touched with a thin layer of silvery frost.

At this moment, Qingdeng was standing on the veranda of the courtyard, arms folded in front of his chest, looking up at the full moon above his head.

Although his eyes were staring straight at the moon in the sky... Qingdeng didn't register the scene in front of him at all.

——Okita-kun, what’s going on with him...Why are you always avoiding me...?

Qingto's mind is now repeatedly "playing" the scene where Souji was hiding from him today.

Although Souji found many reasons for himself, it was an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with immediately, and he wanted to go to the toilet to relieve himself... But it was obvious that Souji was deliberately avoiding Qingteng and deliberately ignoring Qingteng.

.

——Is it because the result of the negotiation with my sister was so bad that you don’t even know how to tell me?

Although Qingteng came up with various possible answers... it was useless no matter how many answers he came up with. If he wanted to know the truth of the matter, he still had to go to the Souji to find out.

The more Souji avoids him, the more Qingto wants to find out what happened to Souji as soon as possible.

The Souji kept avoiding him, which made Qingto feel quite troubled.

The biggest problem before Qingteng now is how to create an environment in which he can easily catch the commander-in-chief, make it difficult for the commander-in-chief to escape from him, and at the same time allow him and the commander-in-chief to talk with peace of mind.

An environment that meets these two requirements... Qingdeng thought about it carefully: there was nothing to gain.

The latter is easier to say, mainly because the former is more difficult to handle.
To be continued...
