"I'm very confused; what does that question have to do with all of this?" Shinohara Yukinori asked as he took a sip of wine.
Kenzo smiled and said, "You know that you've helped a lot of people affected by Ghouls. Most of my functions go directly to that, but now I wonder what you think to know if I can trust you or not."
"Don't you trust me?" Shinohara Yukinori didn't understand how Kenzo had decided to trust him in the first place.
"Of course, I trust you. But you must understand that there are different levels of trust, and the one I want to place in you is a trust without limits... If you allow me to trust your word, I'll tell you the rest of the information." Kenzo said as he cut into the steak on his plate.
"There are good and bad humans, some abuse their power, and others live in peace without causing any trouble," Shinohara Yukinori said with a faint smile.
"Then tell me, why do you kill pacifist Ghouls... As far as I know, humans also need meat, and some take this opportunity to consume human flesh."
"It's complicated; we fight with a fixed purpose and don't play morally with every Ghoul we encounter... They eat human flesh to survive, so from our understanding, they are our predators, and we must do everything in our power to win." Shinohara Yukinori had been touched by Kenzo's questions and insinuations, but he stood firm and answered each one as best as he could without belittling the work he and those who had died had done.
Kenzo listened to that and nodded; he certainly had a point in what he said: "So, I guess I should read those files in silence and tell you what I think."
When Kenzo said this, the man beside him handed the briefcase to Shinohara Yukinori, who immediately opened it and saw dozens of yellow folders filled with documents.
"Where did you find this?" Shinohara Yukinori asked as he saw the titles of each folder.
"Some information is taken from files left by my mother, others are from my own sources, so it's safe," replied Kenzo as he finished his meal.
"This is..."
"As it says there, the Washuu Clan is the main family leading the Ghoul Countermeasure Commission; they have been involved in its formation. But what you don't know and what I discovered over a month ago is what you are reading in those files." Kenzo said as he began to enjoy his dessert.
"It has been said that the Washuu are known for being serious investigators who care deeply about results; it's hard to accept that they are willing to sacrifice many people just to achieve their goal, viewing people as simple numbers. But all that changes if they are also Ghouls." Despite everything said about this family, it is revealed that the members of the clan are Ghouls, something they have hidden perfectly for over 100 years, thanks to their social position and their influence in the federal agency of Ghoul countermeasures they have controlled from its beginnings, the CCG.
"It's impossible for all of them to be Ghouls..." Shinohara Yukinori murmured, feeling a panic attack coming on.
"Although the clan is led by Ghouls, there are also humans among them... They're not that foolish, of course." Kenzo responded while smiling and pointing, "The main branch of that clan is composed of Yoshitoki Washuu and his progeny, all of whom are pure-blooded Ghouls and have the role of leading the clan as well as 'planting the seed' to preserve the purity of the clan."
Shinohara Yukinori wiped the sweat and said, "According to what's written here, the organization V has an alliance with that family; that's what we know maintains a certain authority in the Ghoul world."
"The way this was discovered is because there are also some Ghouls selected from the streets by the secondary branch to carry out missions such as assassination." Kenzo said while savoring the cake on his table.
Shinohara Yukinori left the documents on the table and said, "By the way, how do you know such explicit information?"
"In my search for who killed my mother, a certain Ghoul contacted me and proposed a deal... In that, it involves a noble Ghoul investigator willing to lead the CCG, and after killing the Washuu family, the remaining Ghoul organizations, and achieving the complete unification of the Ghoul world, they will establish an alliance with humans where there is no war." Kenzo said as he looked seriously at the man in front of him.
"That's a lot of information; I can't even respond..."
"Then don't. That Ghoul I mentioned will contact you and offer you what I'm telling you. My mother once described that Ghouls are scared, so in that same way, I deeply believe in the cure, and if that works, evolution will come just as that Ghoul said in the live broadcast."
