Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters. The captain of the police force who has requested his help on a case had just visited Himura Kenshin. They were on their way to visit the scene of a most particular fight. There were many strange injuries found and yet no sign of any possible weapons. Megumi, Sanosuke, Yahiko and Saitou accompanied them.
They arrived at the scene, which was littered with corpses. There were many of them an each had a burned palm on the body. There many policemen walking around trying to facilitate the villagers who were trying to identify their family members. This fight was particular as the people involved came from different backgrounds and had no connection with each other what so ever.
"I don't see what's so special about this," commented Yahiko. "They look like they were all killed by the same person."
"That's beside the point. Look carefully. Each palm size is different and there are other kinds of wounds. But all of them include a black dragon in the middle." Replied the Captain.
After a closer look, they all noticed the particular dragon sign that was embedded into the flesh.
"This is the strangest wound I have ever seen. There is no weapon on the face of this earth which can cause such a wound," said Megumi.
"I agree. I did not see any wound that looks like this before. Not even in the Meji Era," continued Saitou.
Their thoughts were interrupted when a soldier cried, "You there. Stop that. You are tampering with evidence."
They turned around to see an officer grabbing the arm of a person whose face was covered by the large straw hat The officer had a vice like grip on her.
"She was trying to cut open the bag of evidence that we have collected." He explained to the Captain. "Who are you? Who are you working for? Answer me." he yelled angrily at the lady.
"She will not answer you even if you screamed until your tongue turned blue and fell off. She's a mute." A middle-aged man with a long beard said as he approached the officer. "She is a specialist on such things. She is who they always call on when such things happen."
"Let go of her," commanded the captain. Turning to the lady, he bowed deeply and said, "My deepest apologies. My subordinate acted out of his authority."
The lady merely nodded her head and continued to look at the bag of evidence. There were a few poison darts and a miniature knife. They were all stained with blood.
