Chapter 492
Then the crowd slowly dispersed, and several squad captains and vice-captains emerged from the cleared passage. They had been holding a meeting within the First Division's headquarters, but upon sensing the spiritual pressure fluctuations from the battle, they quickly adjourned their meeting and rushed over.
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. The Captain of the Seventh Division, Kensei Muguruma, lay on the ground covered in blood, with Chen Fan standing beside him.
The scene was obvious: the 7th Division, Kensei Muguruma, had used his Chen Fan in Bankai and was fighting Chen Fan was Zanpakuto, before being defeated. Although Kensei Muguruma was now lying on the ground, seriously injured, some knowledgeable people felt ashamed of him for Bankai against someone without Zanpakuto; it was not the behavior of a captain.
"Chen Fan! What else do you have to say! You killed Captain Aizen, then Captain Gin Ichimaru, then Captain Kaname Tosen, and now you've killed Captain Kensei Muguruma! You murderous maniac, I will avenge Captain Aizen!" Momo Hinamori shouted, then drew her Zanpakuto towards Chen Fan;
"Bang...!" Toshiro blocked Toshiro Momo Hinamori's Zanpakuto;
"Little White, you!" Momo Hinamori looked at Toshiro in disbelief and whispered;
"I told you! I won't allow anyone to draw their sword against the captain in front of me!" Toshiro said, looking at Momo Hinamori. He didn't want Momo Hinamori to get hurt, but he couldn't tolerate Momo Hinamori repeated accusations and provocations against his captain. He had seen how Chen Fan had treated him and the other members of the squad over the years. If anyone said it was Chen Fan who did it, he would be the first to disbelieve it. He had been searching for clues these past few days to rescue Captain Chen Fan, and he had already found some leads.
Soon, two members of the Underworld Division arrived at Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto's side. They were the two men who had been guarding Chen Fan, and they had just woken up after being knocked unconscious by the impact of the spiritual pressure.
"What happened?" Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto asked the two Grim Reapers Shinigami Chen Fan.
"Yes! It was Captain Kensei Muguruma of the 7th Division who kept trying to stop them, knocked out the guards, and forced his way into the cell to kill Captain Chen Fan. Captain Kensei Muguruma also destroyed the cell. Captain Chen Fan never left. We were just knocked out by Captain Kensei Muguruma and didn't report it in time. We are really sorry!" one of the Shinigami from the Inner Division said.
Upon hearing the guard's words, Momo Hinamori was somewhat dazed. "Bang!" Toshiro 297 deflected Momo Hinamori's Zanpakuto, then slowly Zanpakuto, placing it in the scabbard on his back. His Zanpakuto was too long to be worn at his waist, so he had to carry it on his back.
"Fourth Division! Quickly stop the bleeding for Captain Kensei Muguruma, then take him to the Fourth Division headquarters!" Fourth Division Vice-Captain Yonehoteru Isane ordered the Fourth Division members to treat the seriously injured Kensei Muguruma;
"Captain Chen Fan, you should know what happened!" Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto said.
"That's roughly what I heard from this guy," Chen Fan said, looking at Kensei Muguruma lying on the ground.
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto opened his eyes, looked at Chen Fan, and said, "So, is there anything you want to say?"
"I can only say that I didn't do it," Chen Fan said, shaking off his hand.
Can I trust you?
"You don't need to believe me, just believe in yourself," Chen Fan said. Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto had been watching Chen Fan all night, and Chen Fan could feel it. The cases that kept happening all pointed to Chen Fan as the perpetrator. Although Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto believed his own eyes and the evidence was full of flaws, three captains had already been murdered. Why didn't they say that someone else killed them, but instead said Chen Fan? No matter what, it must be related to Chen Fan.

(Chapter Sixty-Nine: Chaos)
Rumors gradually spread among the 13th Division the captains of the 3rd Division, Gin Ichimaru, the Fifth Division Captain, Sosuke Aizen, and the Captain of the Ninth Division, Kaname Tosen, were all killed by Chen Fan, the Captain of the 10th Division. Now, who had the mind to care about any Intruders? They were really worried about their own lives. Everyone said that Chen Fan had a technique that allowed him to come and go without a trace, and that he could kill people even when he was locked in a prison made of Sealing Stone.
"Let me tell you! I bet the murderer was Captain Chen Fan of the 10th Division!" Several Shinigami huddled together in the cafeteria and whispered.
"There's still no evidence to prove that Captain Chen Fan was the killer, is there?" another Shinigami said.
"Evidence? What evidence do we need? How many people in Seireitei could kill three captains so quietly? Besides, I've heard from my seniors that Captain Chen Fan was also involved in a major case Captain Chen Fan, which resulted in the deaths of four captains and four vice-captains. It was even worse than what we're going through now."
"What! Really?!"
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, who do you think would be so bored as to guard Hueco Mundo for fifty years? Why fifty years and not a hundred? It sounds nice to say it's for a noble cause, but actually, there wasn't enough evidence that time. I heard that the former captain of the 12th Division a hundred years ago said it was Chen Fan who did it, but the consequences... Besides, Chen Fan's strength far surpasses that of an ordinary captain."
"Yeah! Look, Captain Kensei Muguruma of the 7th Division hasn't even lasted a single round against Captain Chen Fan of the 10th Division, and that was without Captain Chen Fan having Zanpakuto. If he did have Zanpakuto..."
"But that doesn't mean we can immediately conclude that Captain Chen Fan was the killer!"
"But that's what everyone thinks now!" Everyone nodded;
It's not just them at this dinner table who's talking about it; other tables are saying the same thing. Everyone's in a state of panic. They feel like they'll go crazy if they don't find out who the killer is. Shinigami, Shinigami sounds nice, but most people are actually more afraid of dying.
