The operation of Unadon came to a close as the sun rose.
Manranyama Souren and Uesugi Yui took Van to a private hospital that Manranyama Souren was familiar with for treating Van's wounds.
Dojou Kazuaki arrested the security personnel at the Yasaka Shrine with the police officers, all of whom were detained and taken back to the police station. Among them, the seriously injured Zasydle and Atlas Brown Bear were temporarily sent to the hospital for treatment.
Chongzong was accompanied by Dojou Kazuaki and Officer Ikegami to the hospital for treatment.
After completing all the interrogations, the entire case was finally determined to be excessive self-defense.
Just as the headline in the subsequent news read, "Middle School Student Breaks into Shrine in the Early Morning, Shot by Security Guards with Arrows, Hospitalized!" The entire case did not reveal any behind-the-scenes content and was simply closed.
Since Chongzong was still a minor and did not cause any damage to the shrine’s property, nor any substantial criminal consequences, he was ultimately warned and released, with most of the medical expenses covered by the Uesugi couple's purchased health insurance for Chongzong.
However, the Uesugi couple questioned Chongzong for a long time, many times, as they always felt that this was not something Chongzong would do. Chongzong was not short of money for the admission ticket and must have had ulterior motives.
But Chongzong remained tight-lipped and did not let anything slip, so in the end, they gave up trying to uncover the truth behind the incident.
Van's injuries were not severe either. They were handled the same day and almost fully healed within a week. Once the scabs fell off the wound, there were hardly any signs of it ever being there.
Finally, regarding the handling of Bai Yaxin's subordinates.
All of them were legitimately carrying out security duties at the Yasaka Shrine.
The police questioned why so many people were needed to guard a shrine, while the shrine's monks explained that it was because the shrine held valuable Buddhist artifacts and the monks themselves were not physically strong, hence the need for security personnel on duty.
Although their statements and testimonies were all legal, they still seemed somewhat tenuous, so in the end, the police arrested them on charges of brawl and detained them for a week.
As for Zasydle, who used a bow and arrow to injure someone, he was sentenced for excessive defense. However, considering there were no serious casualties, he was eventually detained for a month.
Regarding the wound on Zasydle's hand, he claimed to have accidentally injured himself.
Since no second set of bow and arrows was found at the scene, the police accepted this testimony.
Neither Chongzong's side nor Bai Yaxin's side wanted the police to know too much about the incident.
Chongzong's side did not want the police to intervene too early, which might have disrupted their plans and allowed Bai Yaxin to escape in the end.
On Bai Yaxin's side, naturally they hoped to downplay the matter and avoid any further disturbance. The first phase of this matter can be considered concluded at this point. The truly important phase has only just begun. This infiltration operation can only be considered half successful, while the other half is a failure. The success lies in obtaining evidence of Bai Yaxin's crimes. The failure is that the infiltration was unsuccessful and was ultimately discovered. With this, it is likely that Bai Yaxin's side is already actively preparing to respond. The strategy of catching them off guard on one's own side has all gone down the drain. Chongzong, who rested at the hospital overnight, thought this way. The doctor advised him to stay at the hospital for a day for observation to prevent the wound from worsening, and also administered a tetanus shot because the arrow had some rust on it. But Chongzong recovered quickly and was given permission to leave the hospital the next day. The second phase of taking down Bai Yaxin was about to begin.
