"Good morning viewers, it's the morning news broadcast for you by Rice Blossom TV. ”

"Last night, the fire that occurred in 4-chome was completely extinguished after two hours thanks to the efforts of the Fire Department. ”

"Fortunately, there were no casualties as the building that caught fire was already uninhabited a year ago. ”

"The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, and it is speculated that the gas pipeline may be too old. ”

"If there is any latest news, we will follow up as soon as possible. Let's take a look at today's news guide......"

In the empty eagle's nest, the announcer's voice was unusually loud, and with the sound of tapping on the keyboard, it was noisy and lonely.

"It seems to have been treated as an accident......

At this time, Uncle De walked in with a dining cart, which made this empty place a little more angry.

"There's nothing wrong with that, at least it's much easier to accept than a gas accident with a frog freak roaming around Rice Flower Town......

Eagle Ya stared intently at the information on the big screen, and said without looking back.

"That's right, young master, you got up early in the morning and sat in front of the computer, are you searching for the whereabouts of that humanoid frog?"

Uncle De said while helping Eagleya prepare breakfast while looking at the windows of the monitors displayed on the big screen.

"Well, I don't think he's going to make an explosion that even he can't escape," Taka took a sip of the black tea that Uncle Tokumi had put aside, "So, I called up all the surveillance cameras in the 4-chome area after the explosion last night in the Hawkeye system......"

"So, is there a catch?" Uncle De, who was wearing gloves, elegantly cut the sandwiches on the plate into small pieces.

"After sifting through it, I found this. Saying this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but put down the black tea, tapped a few times on the keyboard, and then slid on the touch panel, and in an instant, there were only a few monitoring windows left on the full screen.

In the video, a certain body with all its clothes blown up and a disgusting fat body is struggling to move through the shadows of the building, until it finally comes to a manhole cover for a sewer, flips it up and gets inside.

"Hmm, the sewer, it's really a hiding place that matches your identity. ”

Putting the knife down, Uncle De said so, and then placed the sandwich on Eagle Ya's table.

"That would explain why he hasn't been found in the surveillance footage for some time now......" Hawk picked up a sandwich with a fork, "Sometimes, it's not a good thing that the sewers are too wide......

"If the old lady hears this, I'm afraid I won't be so angry that I will crawl out of the grave," Uncle De pushed his glasses and said angrily, "In order to prevent the rainstorm and tsunami from flooding Rice Flower Town, the old lady spent a lot of effort to repair the sewer system in Rice Flower Town so well. For more than 100 years, the best proof is that the town has never been soaked in water. ”

"Of course I know......" Taka sighed helplessly, he just wanted to complain.

Because the way into the water is so wide, it is more and more difficult to find the trail of the frog. In addition, it is a sewer, and even if there is blood or something, it is difficult to detect, and it may have been washed away by sewage after one night.

"By the way, the Hawkeye system is connected to the traffic department's surveillance cameras, right?

Filling the black tea again for Eagle Arrow, Uncle De thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"Normally, if nothing happens, no one will actively look at the CCTV footage, so they may not know about the frog's existence," Taka said, putting his fork down, "and, if they did, they would probably be kept confidential by the Metropolitan Police Department." Otherwise, it will only cause unnecessary panic among the people. ”

"That's just as well. Uncle De couldn't help but nodded, "After all, this is not a TV show, but a real weirdo." ”

"And there may be more than one......" Taka muttered as he narrowed his eyes.

"What are you talking about, young master?" the old Uncle De suddenly couldn't hear the whisper of Eagle Ya, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Nothing ......," said Hawk Arrow, who couldn't help but knock open the criminal file in the main computer of the Eagle's Nest, and then added a new entry to the file area of the red threat level, "File.03 Poison Arrow Frog (real name: Okita Hui)." ”

"Hey, young master, have you investigated his true identity?"

Seeing that Eagle Arrow wrote the real name of the poison dart frog, Uncle De couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"It's not a difficult thing to do, in fact, he has already told us his identity clearly. ”

Takaya picked up a sandwich with a fork in one hand and clicked on the trackpad with the other to bring up the scene of the explosion.

"Already told us?" Uncle De looked at the building on the video that was burning because of the explosion, he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but show a sudden look, "Young master, what do you mean, what does the building itself represent?"

"Yes, he obviously kidnapped me and Xia Fan in 1-chome, why did he have to take us all the way to 4-chome, especially to separate us and take Xia Fan to that room alone? So, that house must have a special meaning to him," Takaya swallowed the sandwich in one gulp, and then continued to operate on the keyboard, "So, according to this clue, I investigated the building, and then, found this thing......"

As Eagle Arrow's fingers tapped on the keyboard, a message appeared on the screen of the main computer.

"Poison gas accident? Yes, the old man remembered that a year ago, there was indeed a horrific tragedy in the fourth chome. ”

Seeing the newspaper and related reports displayed on the screen, Uncle De couldn't help but push his glasses, his expression a little heavy.

"Yes, a total of ten people died, and the number of poisoned people reached as many as thirty, and more than a dozen of them left sequelae, which can be regarded as a major accident," Eagle Ya looked at the tragic situation described on the news, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "At that time, the police finally concluded that it was a man-made accident, and the culprit disappeared from the scene of the crime, and he has not been found until now." ”

"And that prisoner is Okita Hui. Saying this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but bring up a photo, "That is, poison dart frogs." ”

Some messy hair, slightly heavy dark circles, untreated stubble, and that somewhat old research gown. Unlike the fat and disgusting poison dart frog, Okita in the photo looks like just a normal researcher. However, it is precisely such a man who looks perfectly normal who is the culprit who caused this major tragedy.

Although the appearance has changed greatly, a trace of basic outline can still be faintly seen. According to his sightings last night, Eagle Arrow can basically determine that this man named Okita Hui is indeed a poison dart frog.

According to the report, Okita stole a dangerous biotoxin that was being studied from the Marvel Biotech lab where he worked, perhaps to sell it to other companies or underworld forces in exchange for money. But the so-called man is not as good as heaven, and after he returned home, he accidentally let the poison leak out, which caused this tragic incident. And Okita returned to the public eye, and became a member of the wanted list of the Rice Flower Metropolitan Police Department.

However, Eagle Ya doesn't think that's the case.

At first glance, this report seems reasonable, but a closer look reveals a lot of irrationalities.

For example, since it is a dangerous biological toxin, it should be strictly counted and closely guarded, where can he Okita return the ability to steal from the laboratory? And even if it is a well-planned theft, then how can a person who can make a careful plan to steal the toxin not take strict protective measures and thus "accidentally" cause the poison to leak?

Besides, even if all this was true, then why did Okita Hui, who was still at the scene at the time of the poison leak, not die like those ten people, but disappeared? Why did he become like that in the end, and why did he have to find Xia Fan?

There is no plausible explanation for all of this, so Taka can only continue to look for clues on his own.

So, he couldn't help but go online to investigate the Amazing Biology Research Institute where Okita was located.

Then, he learned a piece of news that made him frown a little, because the Surprise Bio Laboratory was owned by Yuchai Group.

Suddenly, Taka thought of something not so good.

The death of his parents, the things that the black-clothed organization stole from the safe of the Yuchai Group, and the poison dart frog that kidnapped Xia Fan......

These threads are strung together in a direction that Hawk Arrow is not willing to consider.

Although he had long understood that no great wealth of any kind could be accumulated without moral compromise at all. But he still really didn't want to think about how much invisible darkness was behind the billionaire Yuchai family......

Anyway, I can't find any trace of poison dart frogs now, maybe I should really go and investigate, this laboratory.

"By the way, Junhui, is she up?" Eagle Ya took a sip of black tea, as if he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking.

"I should have been washing up. Uncle De raised his watch and looked at the time, and then said, "What's the matter?"

"Well, I'm going to talk to her. Taka took a sip of the black tea in the cup and said yes.

"Is it a mermaid island?"

"No, it's Akemi. ”

================================================================================

"What happened last night?"

On the grass in the playground of the Emperor Dan Middle School, the white-haired girl was staring at the girl in front of her with wide eyes, a little incredulous.

Last night, after she had come home to do her daily exercises, she stumbled upon a piece of news about an accident on television.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, after all, car accidents are too common in Rice Flower City, whether it's an accident or something.

But when she saw the car, her eyes widened.

It was the same one she had ridden a few hours earlier!

If it weren't for the news that no casualties had been found, and it was almost late at night, she almost grabbed her coat and rushed out directly! However, she still couldn't suppress the worry in her heart and called Xia Fan.

To her relief, the phenomenon of no one answering or turning off the phone did not appear, and the call was quickly connected.

However, compared to her anxiety, Xia Fan on the other end of the phone seemed quite tired and weak. Just a brief chat of two sentences, explaining that he is fine, and the details will be explained to her in detail when he arrives at school tomorrow.

Sakura couldn't say anything more about this, so she could only let her rest early and hang up the phone. In fact, after learning that Xia Fan was fine, her heart had already been relieved, and as for the detailed situation, she didn't have to figure it out. If Xia Fan is willing to speak, she is also willing to listen. If Xia Fan didn't want to mention it, she would definitely not be reluctant.

However, what she didn't expect was that what she heard from her best friend the next day would be such a story of ups and downs!

That's right, stories. Because it sounds like it's like a scene that only appears in those tokusatsu hero movies!

"It's normal for you to think it's hard to believe, yes, even I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing......"

Seeing that Sakura, who had always been indifferent, could show such a stunned expression, Xia Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly, then raised his knees slightly, wrapped his hands around him, and buried his company slightly between his legs, as if he didn't want his best friend to see his expression.

Truth be told, if it weren't for her own experience, she would have laughed at it for being a stupid story.

But when this stupidity really happened to her, she found that she couldn't even laugh.

It turns out that such a thing really happens in this world...... There are heroes and villains...... It's really, stupid......

"I naturally believe you, after all, you don't need to lie to me about this kind of thing. Sakura couldn't help but sigh slightly, then reached out and gently put her hand on Xia Fan's shoulder, "I was just thinking, Xia Fan, it's really good that you're okay......"

"Yes. Sakura's smile seemed to reveal a soothing power, which made Xia Fan laugh, "Yes, if Mr. Black Knight hadn't appeared in time at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen me at this time!Ah, speaking of which, I don't know what happened to Mr. Black Knight now...... After all, last night's explosion was ......"

Thinking of this, Xia Fan's mood couldn't help but go down again.

She could naturally feel how terrible the explosion was, and at such a distance, even if she was held in her father's arms, she could still feel such a strong wind, let alone him who was there at the time?

"Don't worry, Xia Fan, he's the black knight," said Sakura, pat Xia Fan's shoulder, comforted her, and said, it should be clear, you have seen it, his skills. ”

"yes, you're right, after all, he's the black knight......"

Hearing Sakura's words, Xia Fan couldn't help but mumble to himself, not knowing whether he was answering her or comforting himself.

"However, why did the black knight ......" At this time, Sakura seemed to think of something, and said with some confusion.

"Eh, Sakura-chan, what are you talking about?" Hearing the words "black knight", Xia Fan couldn't help but look at her suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing......" Seeing Xia Fan, who didn't seem to notice, Sakura also stretched her brows and smiled slightly.

Xia Fan may have experienced such a cruel thing and didn't notice it all of a sudden, but Sakura felt puzzled.

That is, why was the black knight able to appear in front of Xia Fan's eyes in such a timely manner?

Of course, Sakura didn't say she hoped he wouldn't show up, she just thought it was weird. Because if according to what Xia Fan said, the other party was completely prepared and suddenly kidnapped them, even the black knight should not be able to grasp the information so quickly and appear in front of her, ......right?

Could it be that the Black Knight happened to be around there? Or ......

"By the way, Xia Fan, you were kidnapped, what about my brother, where did he go?" Sakura seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" Listening to Sakura's slightly anxious tone, and then looking at her concerned look, Xia Fan suddenly felt unhappy for no reason, and couldn't help but turn his head to the side, muttering, "I don't know, he didn't tie up with me." According to his father, he seems to be tied up in another place, and he has been rescued by Mr. Black Knight first. ”

"Yes...... Such...... Hearing her words, Sakura muttered and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Oh, Sakura-chan, you don't really like that guy, do you?" Seeing that Sakura, who was usually indifferent, actually showed such a reluctant expression, Xia Fan couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and shook it desperately, "Ah, really, what's so good about that guy! Why do you and Xiaofeng want to pay attention to that guy's affairs!"

"Wake up, Sakura-chan, don't fall in love with that guy!"

Xia Fan felt that he was going crazy, was that guy a magnet or something! Why did the girls around him pay attention to his news as if they had fallen into contact with this guy once!

"What are you talking nonsense, Xia Fan!" Perhaps too excited, Xia Fan couldn't control his volume, which caused the surrounding crowd to watch, Sakura's cheeks were a little unprecedentedly dyed red, and she couldn't help but say angrily.

"Isn't it? Isn't that the best!" Seeing Sakura's expression similar to annoyance, Xia Fan smiled lightly, then took her hand and said earnestly, "Sakura, I'm serious, you must listen to me, even if you like an orangutan in the future, don't like that guy!"

"What the hell are you talking about, Xia Fan?" Hearing Xia Fan's exaggerated words, Sakura couldn't help but cry and laugh a little and said, "Brother, how can he be as unbearable as you say!"

"Hmph, that's because you don't know him......" Xia Fan couldn't help but snort lightly.

"But Xia Fan, have you really gotten to know him?" Sakura said with a deep look at her, a little meaningful.

"Huh?" Hearing Sakura's words, Xia Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course I-"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly paused.

Did she really know him? Sakura's words at the moment were like a drop of water, falling into an ancient well that did not wave, and the slightest ripple of water rippled in her heart, making her fall into a moment of confusion.

She knows him, yes, after so many years of day and night, she does know him. But what she knew about him was still five years ago. And obviously, he's not the same as he was five years ago.

Like, what happened last night.

"What are you talking about...... Maybe it's time for me to change my mind about him......"

Xia Fan muttered.
