What's wrong with a novelist opening multiple pseudonyms?

Chapter 141

After the incident with Zhiming, Bo Chaoyan found that Abe Haruaki... began to become a little strange.

Specifically, Haruaki gradually became more erudite.

First of all, Chaoyan did not mean to say that being erudite was not good.

What he meant was that Haruaki began to be casual.

In the past, although this great onmyoji also loved drinking, night outings, and taking sides, he was always in a subtle state of detachment.

This state is not easy to describe, but it is very easy to judge - Haruaki never talks about things related to himself.

At the same time, his divination can see through too many things, and asking others has become an unnecessary measure.

If he encounters something that he really can't divine, such as the true relationship between Bo Chaoyan and Huang Quan - Haruaki will just give up on the spot and stop investigating.

Instead of being like now -

"Are you really going to go find your brother?"

Abe Haruaki asked directly to the key point of the matter.

Heian-kyo encountered a winter fire, and the fire burned directly from a main road to Suzaku Gate, and was finally restricted outside a boundary by the sorcerer.

In the ruins of a road, the sorcerer who went to investigate found the same cursed remnants as Nishikawa's. At the same time, the Yin Yang master found traces of ghosts there.

To be precise, it was the traces of a nest of ghosts.

This monster that feeds on humans hides everywhere, and when it is burned, it makes a piercing scream, which can be heard by people several streets away.

According to the Yin Yang master who rushed to the scene when he noticed something was wrong, he detected the breath that was suspected to be Muzan Kibutsuji - this was also thanks to the original investigation by Minamoto Hiromasa with the scavenger, which gave them an accurate concept of ghosts.

After the fire, Minamoto Hiromasa and Abe Haruaki were immediately summoned by the emperor to explain the relevant situation with a group of officials.

Originally, Bo Chaoyan was also among those summoned, but according to what Haruaki said, he could not find any trace of him at home. The emperor later sent someone to invite him, and the guards who went to look for him searched the yard several times but could not find him, so they had to give up.

Even if there were no Kyogen family, the matter still had to be investigated. Minamoto Hiromasa immediately went through the clues in his mind and told the cause and effect he speculated:

Bo Chaoyan's brother came to Heian-kyō, what is this, Muzan Kibutsuji? Click.

The plot was so simple that everyone in the palace looked at each other for a long time. Abe Haruaki nodded and said that this was probably the case.

"But Asahiko has been with me to Heian-kyō since he was six years old. We can be said to be together day and night. This matter has nothing to do with him."
