"Secret?"
After the initial 'shock,' Su Xiao entered a calm phase, not mentioning anything about Komamura Sajin, as if Komamura Sajin's death had no impact on him. If Su Xiao were truly just a researcher, this would indeed be the case.
"I'll tell you quietly."
Nan Que leaned closer to Su Xiao, and he caught a faint fragrance, the scent of some summer flower from the Soul Society, fresh and floral.
"I heard this accidentally. It's said that you are the fifth suspect in Captain Aizen's death."
"..."
Su Xiao looked at Nan Que 'surprised,' not feigning it, but genuinely puzzled. There could be only two possibilities: Nan Que was lying, or someone was making baseless guesses.
But soon, Su Xiao understood why such rumors existed. He hadn't been in Jingling Court for long, and with Aizen's assassination, the first to be suspected would undoubtedly be those who recently joined.
