After trying his best to ignore Lancer and Akira Mado beside him, Hideyoshi Nagachika finally had the mind to carefully read this document, but rather than a document, shouldn't it be called a 'memoir'?
According to the compiler of the data, because the 'Clowns' had been annihilated, the related data on the 'Clowns' had been reclassified from important data to a 'secondary' archives room, and was then lost a few years ago.
'Just this point is very suspicious.'
"First Class Mado-senpai, I would like to ask, the data keeper before…"
"Died in a Ghoul attack the year before last."
'As expected.'
Akira Mado's answer was completely within Hideyoshi Nagachika's expectations.
"Senpai, I suppose the headquarters must have started an investigation regarding the Investigator who lost the data, right?"
"That is true. Director Washuu has ordered an investigation since the 23rd Ward was attacked, but it was precisely during that time that the person was attacked by a Ghoul… Actually, you don't need to probe like this. After all, the Investigators who know about this have basically all thought of this point — there are probably quite a few problems within our CCG."
Speaking of this, Akira Mado also looked somewhat worried. After all, she could not imagine that there were traitors working for Ghouls within the 'CCG', whose sole purpose was to subjugate Ghouls, and their rank was not low either.
But fortunately, Akira Mado did not know the 'facts' of the CCG, otherwise, she would probably be even more surprised, right?
It can be said that the words of Akira Mado and Hideyoshi Nagachika had confirmed Lancer previous guess: there were problems within the CCG. However, this did not make him happy at all. After all, whether it was the Mado father and daughter or Koutarou Amon, they all relied on the CCG to exist. Once the foundation of the CCG had problems, the safety of the three of them and other CCG Investigators would become a considerable issue.
'I must figure out where the problem within the CCG lies.'
Perhaps for others, it would be difficult to monitor the high-level personnel of the CCG, but Lancer had a method that others could not imagine — magic!
Lancer did not think that anyone would suspect that a 'raven' was a person transformed.

Nimura Furuta, the son of the CCG Japan Branch's General Chairman, currently served as a CCG First Class Investigator. However, his reputation within the CCG was very strange. Supporters called him an 'unconventional genius', while opponents called him a 'destroyer of order'.
The reason for this polarized situation was entirely due to the uncertainty in his Ghoul subjugation plans, often messing up the original plan. Although the final outcome basically ended with success, the process made many people tremble with fear.
But overall, almost everyone admitted one thing — the opponent was an excellent Investigator.
But this was only limited to the general public's understanding.
"Hehe… Haha!! Finally… finally figured it out!!"
In a brightly lit room, Nimura Furuta, with his meticulously combed hair, stared excitedly at the document in his hand, but unlike his hairstyle, his almost twisted expression and terrifying laughter made people shiver.
"Rize! My dear Rize! I finally found you!!"
That almost frantic confession felt incredible, as ordinary people would not know who the 'Rize' he was talking about was, but in fact, people in the CCG should be very familiar with the opponent's name — Rize Kamishiro.
That's right, it was the 'Binge Eater' Ghoul who caused trouble in the 11th Ward 3 years ago, then ran to the 20th Ward and was finally 'subjugated' by Lancer.
Lancer at the time thought Rize Kamishiro was dead, but in reality, that was not the case. In fact, whether Rize Kamishiro was hit by a falling iron beam in the 'original worldline', or hit by a large number of heavy objects such as a safe and a piano due to Lancer changes, everything was because Nimura Furuta was instigating it behind the scenes.
As for why he did this?
It was very simple: it was to make Rize Kamishiro 'die' and then completely become his private property.
And the reason why it became like this was entirely because of his 'love' for the opponent!
Of course, whether this almost twisted emotion can be called 'love' is still debatable, but there is no doubt about his obsession with Rize Kamishiro. However, this script, which was originally proceeding according to his plan, encountered a huge turning point — Aogiri Tree.
'Akihiro Kanou' was abducted by Aogiri Tree, and naturally, Rize Kamishiro also completely disappeared. In order to find Rize Kamishiro, he spent a lot of time and financial resources, and the reason for this was simply because he believed that Rize Kamishiro was still alive!
He had no evidence for this, but he just believed it, and he still believed it even now!
But unfortunately, he never caught a high-ranking cadre of Aogiri Tree during this period, and those captured Aogiri Tree members simply didn't know where the final lair of Aogiri Tree was.
But —
"Phew~! I was right after all. That strange man is indeed not simple; he managed to obtain this kind of intelligence so easily."
When Lancer was injured after becoming an Investigator and was sent to the CCG affiliated hospital, Nimura Furuta had thought about making a move on Lancer, but he later gave up. After all, Lancer 'teacher', Kureo Mado, had disciples all over the CCG. If Lancer had done something, he might have had some hope of making a move on the opponent, but in the situation at that time, he did not dare to make a move no matter what, or rather, it was not worth the loss.
But who would have thought that when the opponent returned to the CCG again after being missing for almost three years, his sudden idea discovered Lancer uniqueness.
Lancer blood could make him feel a strange pleasure, a feeling just like the first time he 'ate' after losing his sense of taste; it was simply like opening the door to a new world.
It was from that time that he started to pay attention to the opponent.
"Rize will definitely like the taste of that man's blood too, right? Using him as a gift for our reunion is simply wonderful! He must be much better than that mixed-race brat! But killing him like this is too wasteful. Should I keep him captive? Having a group of women serve him should make him unable to resist, right? His children can also become new food…"
His face became strangely flushed as he thought of the scene of his reunion with Rize Kamishiro, and even one of his eyes turned into a terrifying 'Kakugan'. But at this moment —
"Bang~ Bang~"
The sudden knock on the door made Nimura Furuta freeze, and then the somewhat strange expression on his face gradually returned to normal.
"Is something the matter?"
"First Class Furuta, the Director is looking for you."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for coming to find me."
Nimura Furuta at this time showed no sign of the previous madness; only his clothes were a bit messy, but the Investigator responsible for informing him obviously did not notice this. The opponent left in a hurry after notifying him, and Nimura Furuta, who had maintained a polite demeanor, gradually returned to 'normal', and at the same time, the expression on his face also became slightly fanatical.
'It's finally starting…'
