When the Superintendent made this statement, all three individuals crumpled to the ground.
The ones who truly collapsed were Nishida and Takaoka, as they now realized that they had been responsible for a massive disaster this time.
The one who feigned collapse was, of course, Yoshiyasu, who was putting on an act.
To distance himself from any blame, he had instructed his team of samurai to flee immediately after carrying out a murder and to avoid any contact with him, leaving him without a means to verify their whereabouts. However, he regarded the Superintendent's words as highly credible.
Since the Superintendent claimed that the individual was dead, he must indeed be dead. Thus, he couldn't help but cover his face and weep, his voice trembling with grief, "Brother, Shinmei... You... You left so suddenly! I... I will ensure you are avenged!"
