"Accomplish something important? What do you mean?" (Chongzong)
This was the first time Chongzong had seen ManranyamaSouren so excited.
He had always thought that this gentle and always composed young lady, no matter how happy or sad things were, wouldn't show it on her face, always maintaining an elegant demeanor.
"As for dealing with Bai Yaxin, there may be a breakthrough, the specifics... Van, could you explain, I need to finish these documents before heading out." (ManranyamaSouren)
After saying this, ManranyamaSouren picked up the files on the table and went to the study.
Then, Van, feeling a bit awkward and uncomfortable, walked from the edge of the living room to the edge of the sofa, seeming to hesitate on whether to sit or stand.
Having always served ManranyamaSouren, she had gotten used to her role as a servant. If suddenly faced with sitting on the same level as others, she would feel very unnatural.
Just as Chongzong was about to ask her to sit, Van spoke up.
"The situation is like this, Lord Uesugi." (Van)
In the usual professional tone.
Van finally found her place, as a reporter, this posture made her feel less strange.
"Last night, I investigated the vehicles coming in and out of Fushimi Inari Shrine, a total of fifty-six private cars and twelve trucks were included." (Van)
"Compared to the vehicle situation at Fushimi Inari Shrine from some time ago, the daily average of incoming and outgoing vehicles, private cars were only twenty-one, trucks were only three, showing a very noticeable increase." (Van)
"But due to the large volume and the lack of obvious patterns in the license plate ownership, Miss ManranyamaSouren and I didn’t have a clear direction on how to continue the investigation last night. We had to go back and check each place to see if there were any other clues." (Van)
"Coincidentally, at that time, Lord Uesugi called, and Miss ManranyamaSouren arranged for me to find a contact at the transportation department to check surveillance videos and see the vehicle situation near your house." (Van)
"After investigation, within the time frame described by Lord Uesugi, the only vehicle that met the requirements was a truck." (Van)
"The license plate of this truck is white letters on a green background, a commercial vehicle, the license plate number is Osaka 28-40, it is an out-of-town white truck with 'YAMATO' printed on the cargo hold." (Van)
"After checking, this vehicle belongs to a shipping company, YAMATO Transport." (Van)
"And in my previous investigation of the vehicle situation at Fushimi Inari Shrine, there were also trucks from this YAMATO Transport company, coming in and out of the shrine every two to three days." (Van)
At this point, although Van controlled it well, Chongzong could still tell that her voice was a bit louder, with some excitement that was difficult to contain.
"So currently, it seems that the next step is to investigate further at this YAMATO Transport company." (Van)
"So, when Miss Manranyama just mentioned 'going out', does that mean she's planning to personally visit this transportation company?" (Chongzong)
Chongzong asked at the right moment.
"No, Miss has other arrangements, she's going to acquire more manpower and financial support." (Van)
"I will go investigate the Yamato Transport Company later." (Van)
"Yes, I have more important matters to attend to, I need to go out now." (ManranyamaSouren)
ManranyamaSouren, who knows when she came out of the study, took over the conversation, picked up her bag, and headed for the door.
Upon hearing this, Chongzong volunteered.
This transportation company is directly related to the Uesugi family members being kidnapped, he must personally go investigate as well.
"I will go with Van." (Chongzong)
"Good, very proactive, you should be a good bodyguard for Van, Uesugi-sama, I'm entrusting Van to you." (ManranyamaSouren)
"Yes, leave it to me." (Chongzong)
—I won't make the same mistake as last time.
