845: Chapter 840: Akagi’s Handling 845: Chapter 840: Akagi’s Handling The matters concerning the Tenmangu Shrine naturally fell under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Agency and the police.

After leaving the shrine, Akagi was driven to the hotel arranged by the Imperial Household Agency.

“My lady, the matter has been thoroughly investigated.

That Dingyuan Pavilion was built during the Meiji Era by the Tenmangu Shrine priest Ono Ryosuke, who utilized his position as a member of the National Diet to gain permission from the Headquarters to salvage and dismantle the wreckage of the Dingyuan battleship and use it for construction.” Upon returning to the room, the attendant from the Imperial Household Agency, already armed with sufficient information, hurriedly began reporting to Akagi.

Without showing surprise at how he had acquired this information, she simply asked, “What exactly were they suppressing?”

“The souls of the soldiers who perished aboard the Dingyuan, as well as a fragment of the Qing Empire’s national fortune at the time.” While such inquiries may have posed challenges for others, the Imperial Household Agency and the police agency overseeing Japan’s supernatural powers could uncover the truth with relative ease.

“Suppressing the Qing Empire’s national fortune?

What they meant to suppress must have been the national fortune of China, right?” Akagi immediately sensed the priests were avoiding the crux of the issue, trying to conceal the most critical part.

The attendant from the Imperial Household Agency, however, responded wryly, “They may have wanted to, but they simply couldn’t.”
