Chapter five hundred and fourteen presumption of innocence, never suspected guilt
"The Demon Slayer Team is the one who kills demons!"
"Wind Pillar" Immortal Kawa Saneya's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, I hope you can severely punish the two team members Kamado and Tomioka!"
To a certain extent, the past experience of Saneya Immortal is equivalent to a replica of Tanjiro.
Mikawa Miya was born in an ordinary urban family with seven brothers and sisters. He is the eldest son of the family and grew up under the beatings of his father.
After his evil father was stabbed to death by an enemy, Mikawa Miya and his eldest brother Genya Mugawa made an agreement to protect their mother and younger siblings together.
Until one night, because his mother did not come back after going out, Shimi was worried that her mother was in danger, so she asked Xuanmi to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, while she went out alone to find her mother.
As a result, as soon as Shimi left home, Shimi's home was attacked by ghosts. When he returned home, he found that except Genmi, his other brothers and sisters had been killed.
In order to protect his only living brother, young Shimi could only pick up a kitchen knife and fight with ghosts.
As the sky gradually grew brighter, Shiya finally discovered a terrible fact, that is, the ghost who killed his brother and sister turned out to be his mother who had not returned yet.
In the end, Saneya fought with his mother who turned into a ghost until dawn, watching helplessly as she was transformed into ashes by the sunlight.
It was precisely because of such an experience that Mikawa Miya decided that ghosts could not be trusted.
Even a gentle mother who is transformed into a ghost will eat her own children without mercy, not to mention the brother-sister relationship between Tanjiro and Nezuko.
Ubuyashiki Yōya knows the past of each member of the Demon Slayer Squad, and he also knows the hatred of ghosts by Mikawa Miya and the others.
Therefore, Ubuyashiki Yōya was not angry, but said to his daughter next to him in a very gentle tone: "Hika, take out that letter!"
"yes!"
Ubuya Shiki Hika nodded slightly, took out a letter from her arms, and said to everyone present: "This letter is from the original Hashira Sakonji-sama of Hinataki. I am here to read aloud about you for everyone."
Part of the beans.
Please also allow Tanjiro to be with his sister who is a ghost. Nezuko relies on her strong mental power to still maintain her rationality as a human being.
Even though she was starving, she did not eat anyone, and spent more than two years like that.
Although it sounds unbelievable, it is indeed true.
If Nezuko really hurts others, Tanjiro Kamado, Sakonji Rintagaki, and Giyu Tomioka will commit seppuku!"
When Tanjiro heard this, he subconsciously looked at Tomioka Giyu beside him, his eyes full of shock and emotion.
After all, Tomioka Giyuu always has a stern expression and makes people feel very difficult to get along with. I didn't expect that he would be willing to use his own life to vouch for Nezuko.
"What does seppuku mean? If they want to die, let them die!"
After hearing these words, Immortal Sakawa Saneya couldn't help but express his filial piety: "If Nezuko really commits the evil act of cannibalism, even if the three of them commit seppuku and apologize, the dead people will not be able to come back!"
Because the five younger brothers and sisters of Immortal Kawa Saneya were all killed by their mother who turned into a ghost, he can understand better than anyone else how much harm cannibal ghosts can cause to their victims.
In the past thousands of years, no one knows how many humans have been transformed into ghosts by Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzai, but the Immortal Kawa Saneya has never heard of the existence of cannibal ghosts that do not eat humans.
Even if Nezuko really hasn't eaten anyone for more than two years, there's no guarantee that she won't eat people in the future.
What's more, the lifespan of ghosts is far longer than that of humans. Tanjiro may be able to control Nezuko for ten or twenty years, but he cannot control her for a lifetime.
After Tanjiro dies in battle or dies of old age, without the last trace of family affection, who can guarantee that Nezuko will never eat people?
"My lord, I also agree with what Immortal River said."
Purgatory Anjuro said with a serious face: "When Nezuko commits the crime of cannibalism, everything will be irreversible!"
We can't blame Purgatory Anjuro for being so ruthless, because the Purgatory clan is a ghost hunting family passed down from generation to generation, and the family also records many things that their ancestors encountered while hunting ghosts.
The ancestors of the Purgatory clan have also encountered many situations similar to Tanjiro and Nezuko.
Many humans were transformed into cannibals not out of their own will, but because they were forcibly transformed into cannibals by Muzan Demonbutsuji.
Therefore, before those cannibals kill people, they can only be regarded as innocent victims.
Coupled with the fact that the relatives of the victims insisted on protecting the cannibals who had not yet harmed anyone, the ancestors of the Purgatory clan could only choose to comply with their wishes.
Those human beings who were transformed into cannibals were able to maintain their human nature at first by relying on the power of family affection or love.
However, as time went by, these cannibals eventually degenerated into monsters that only knew how to eat humans due to hunger.
Without exception!
It is precisely because of the experiences of many ancestors that Purgatory Anjuro does not believe that Nezuko will never eat people.
"Indeed, we can't guarantee that Nezuko will never eat people, but..."
Midway through his words, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya changed the topic and said: "We can't prove that Nezuko can eat people. Nezuko has not eaten people in the past two years. This is a fact that we cannot deny, and it is also true.
Three people risked their lives for this!
The original intention of the Demon Slayer Corps to kill ghosts is because ghosts can eat people. If Nezuko can't eat people, then she can only be regarded as a victim of ghosts.
Just like a newborn baby, we cannot guarantee that he will never commit a crime in the future, but it is also impossible to execute him in advance just because he may commit a crime in the future."
"My lord..."
After hearing this, Immortal Kawa Saneya subconsciously wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute?
When Suzuki Seimei saw this, he secretly cursed in his heart: "As expected of the current master of the Demon Slayer Squad, he does indeed have some tricks up his sleeve."
What Ubuyashiki Yoya said just now is obviously the "presumption of innocence" in the law.
To put it simply, anyone who has not been found guilty according to the law should be regarded as innocent, and there is no doubt that he is guilty.
"Since Tanjiro and the others are willing to use their lives as guarantee for Nezuko, then if you want to execute Nezuko, you must produce evidence that can prove that she can eat people!"
Ubuyashiki Yōya's tone was very gentle, and what he said was well-founded, leaving no one able to refute it. He then said: "There is another thing I need to tell you, that is, this Tanjiro once had a tragic encounter with Onimushuji Mu
