Uchiha Ikeizumi turned around and saw a girl with long black hair standing behind him with a hesitant look on her face.
"Ikeizumi-senpai, I...I..."
Izumi suddenly got stuck. The gaze from Uchiha Ikeizumi-senpai made her nervous unconsciously.
Obviously, when facing other seniors, even when facing the head of the Fugaku family, she could muster up the courage to communicate with them.
But in front of this "Uchiha Ikeizumi" senior, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to say!
"Speak."
Uchiha Ikeizumi said.
Izumi suddenly got a chill and quickly introduced herself: "My name is Uchiha Izumi! I participated in the recruitment assessment of the police force this year. When the head of the Fugaku family asked me to choose an examiner, I...I chose you, Ikeizumi-senpai, as my examiner."
However, when facing the sharp scrutiny of the senior of the police force in front of her, her voice became smaller and smaller.
In the end, she didn't even dare to look up and look at Uchiha Ikeizumi.
"Examiner? Choose me?"
Uchiha Ikeizumi looked at the girl and commented expressionlessly: "Although you look weak, at least you are brave."
Uchiha Ikeizumi forced out a fake smile: "It's easy to pass my test. Don't let me think of killing you within a month, and you will pass the test."
"Oh, wait, there's a rat trying to escape."
Izumi: "???"
Huh?
Just when Izumi was confused, she was shocked to see Uchiha Ikeizumi suddenly draw the ninja sword from his waist.
The ninja sword flashed a silver arc in the air, and a touch of scarlet blood came into Izumi's sight.
The next second.
She watched a short man suddenly fall to the ground.
——The man's left leg was cut off!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The short man's shrill screams and the smell of blood in the air were stimulating Izumi's psychological endurance.
She instinctively took a half step back. She was so nervous that sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Uchiha Izumi." Uchiha Ikeizumi shook the blood off the knife.
"Huh?" Izumi, who was worried that the man on the ground would bleed to death, raised her head in panic.
Uchiha Ikeizumi frowned: "When I call your name, you have to say 'here'."
"Oh...ah, here!"
Izumi hurriedly changed her words.
"You want to join the police force in such a low voice?" Uchiha Ikeizumi said coldly: "I can't hear what you say at all. Is this your determination to join the police force? Can you protect the word 'justice' like this? Why don't you go home and be a good girl!"
What the head of the Fugaku family said was right. Senior Ikeizumi was really strict. He was scolded for the first time they met.
Izumi could only try her best.
Her little face turned red.
"Here!!!!"
Seeing that the senior's eyes were a little cold, Izumi breathed a sigh of relief.
"That..." Izumi hesitated.
"Speak."
She reminded hurriedly: "Senior, if the man on the ground is not treated quickly, he may die of excessive blood loss."
"How long can he live?" Uchiha Ikeizumi asked a question that Izumi did not expect.
She answered quickly: "He may go into shock within 10 minutes."
"There is plenty of time." Uchiha Ikeizumi said to Izumi: "Newcomer, I have a task for you."
Izumi swallowed her saliva and said: "Senior, I have not learned medical ninjutsu, otherwise... let's take him to Konoha Hospital?"
Uchiha Ikeizumi glanced at her: "Who told you to take him to the hospital for treatment?"
"Ah?" Izumi forgot how many times she was confused today.
She said hesitantly: "Senior means..."
Uchiha Ikeizumi handed over the ninja sword, and Izumi instinctively reached out to take it.
Uchiha Ikeizumi said calmly, "Prove to me that you are determined to join the police force. Take this knife and interrogate this guy. Ask him - where is the child's body. You only have ten minutes. If you can't find out, then go back and don't come to me tomorrow."
Interrogate...
interrogate?
Izumi was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but look around. This is one of the busiest streets in Konoha Village. Looking around, she couldn't even count how many people were on this street!
Interrogate a civilian with a leg chopped off openly here?
Moreover, why do you want to interrogate this question about the "child's body"?
Is this the usual style of the Uchiha police force? Or is this just the style of senior Uchiha Ikeizumi himself?
She tried to sneak a glance at Uchiha Ikeizumi's eyes.
She found that the senior's eyes were gradually becoming indifferent.
Izumi was suddenly startled.
The reminders from the head of the Fugaku family and the female senior of the police force flashed through her mind.
——"Don't disobey his orders if you want to survive."
——"Good luck to you. Sometimes survival is also a kind of luck."
Izumi was scared.
She held the ninja sword in her hand tightly, and cold sweat continued to flow out of her smooth white forehead.
The strong desire to survive made her take a few steps forward and interrogate the short man who was wailing with his broken leg: "Where did you hide... where did you hide the body of that child?!"
A flash of panic flashed across the short man's painful and desperate eyes.
"Hurry... hurry up and send me to Konoha Hospital!"
He did not answer Izumi's questioning without any confidence, but shouted in panic: "My head is getting more and more dizzy, and the blood is flowing more and more. Am I going to die! Save me quickly, I don't want to die! Hurry... hurry up and save me!!!"
I don't want to die either—this is the cry in Izumi's heart.
"Where did you hide the child's body?"
Izumi tried to calm herself down. She thought that Senior Ikeizumi would not let her ask this question for no reason. She said repeatedly: "Only if you answer this question quickly can I send you to Konoha Hospital. You can't hold on for a few minutes!"
The short man was still shouting in fear: "I don't know what child, I don't know anything! Please, save me!"
"Senior..."
Izumi wanted to cast a look of help to Uchiha Ikeizumi, but found that the senior was folding his arms and watching coldly.
She couldn't read the slightest emotion from those cold eyes.
She suddenly had an illusion of suffocation.
This feeling...
Izumi was very familiar with it.
On the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox several years ago, when she encountered the huge Nine-Tailed Fox monster, she also experienced the same feeling, that is, the desperate suffocating feeling that her life was about to disappear!
Izumi's desire to survive once again surpassed her sympathy. She was cruel and grabbed the ninja sword, put it on the neck of the short man, gritted her teeth and said: "Last chance! Where is the child's body!"
The sharp blade had rubbed a line of blood on the short man's neck.
The short man's eyes widened in horror, and the faint pain in his neck made him panic: "I... I didn't mean to... I didn't want to kill her. You have to believe me! Really believe me! She... She is my daughter after all..."
"I was just playing with her at the time. I... I didn't expect her to die... I threw her into the dry well in the yard."
Izumi was stunned.
The short man's intermittent words revealed a piece of information that shocked her physically and mentally—the man that Senior Ikeizumi asked her to interrogate in public actually killed his own daughter! And he threw his daughter's body into a dry well!
He is a murderer!
"Newcomer. This is your first lesson in enforcing [justice] after joining the Uchiha Police Force." Uchiha Ikeizumi's voice slowly sounded behind Izumi: "-Always follow the orders I give you."
"No doubt."
"Irresistible."
"No mistakes."
