Shops opened their doors one after another, and signs of various sizes were displayed. The farmers yawned and pushed carts full of farm implements to the outskirts. The children carried small cloth bags, laughed and ran on the stone road after the rain, and stepped on the water splash.

Then there are the boys and girls dressed in colorful clothes, the youkai merchants who hide their tails, and the drunkards who are staggering. Pedestrians took to the streets in groups, turning empty alleys into bustling cities in the blink of an eye.

In the midst of the bustling crowd, there was a person who seemed a little out of place. It was a monster girl, with white hair and red eyes, revealing the canine ears on both sides of her head and the shaggy tail behind her buttocks.

The girl was wearing a short shirt and a short skirt, white on the top and red on the bottom, and carried a pair of swords and shields on her back, and the shields were also printed with a red maple leaf silhouette.

She walked from one end of the street to the other, knocking on each door, asking questions that were destined to go unanswered, and then nodding her head in thanks.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you......"

The middle-aged woman holding the baby stood in the doorway, shaking her head helplessly.

"Thank you very much anyway!"

The girl bowed and thanked her loudly. She had said this sentence a hundred times this morning, fortunately, but unfortunately it was the last time she thanked humanity today.

Because, in the whole person, she has already finished investigating.

"This is the last one...... "Inugotsu crossed out the last line on the list and sighed, "I didn't get anything today......

Her investigation work has been at a loss so far, and if it continues like this, let alone avenging her companions, she doesn't even have a chance to know what the murderer looks like.

"It's only noon...... "Tsubaki glanced at the sun hanging overhead, "So, where do you go next?"

"Tengu Wind Strikes Suddenly!"

Just as she was contemplating her next move, an unknown wind suddenly rose from under her feet, and violently lifted her skirt, revealing her ******** unreservedly under the hundreds of pairs of eyes around her.

"Yikes!"

Tsubaki screamed and quickly pressed down the fluttering skirt. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the bottom of her skirt had already been seen by the passers-by around her.

"Click"

“Nice· Shot!

From behind her came the sound of the camera's shutter and a love-hate voice that she was all too familiar with.

Wen ...... You ...... thing."

Tsubaki shuddered, and his hands reached behind his back, clenching the hilt of the knife.

"You ...... Big pervert!"

The blade flashed, the cold wind howled, and the broad-bladed broadsword cut a silver arc in the air, striking the raven behind her. Unfortunately, this blow was cut in vain.

"Ahhh

Shotmaru dodged the slash with a beautiful backflip and stuck out her tongue at the end, as if she wasn't enough to beat.

"Pervert!"

"Whoosh!"

"Stupid!"

"Whew!"

"Candid maniac!"

"Boom!"

While spitting out the bad words he knew, one after another, he slashed at Wen one after another. Her face was as red as a ripe apple, and she must have been annoyed.

"Oops, puppy bites!"

Wen dodged every knife by a fraction of a millimeter, his face was not red, his heart was not beating or panting, and he even had time to taunt the other party, which could be described as easy.

"You're the dog!"

"Angry, angry, angry!

"Click"

"Stop shooting!"

Until the dog was tired and lying on the ground, Wen was not injured at all, and he didn't even sweat a drop, but he took a lot of photos. When the battle ended, the audience that had already circled around the two of them several times applauded and cheered for the fierce sword skills of the white wolf tengu and the nimble body of the crow tengu.

"Thank you, thank you!" Wen pretended to bow to the crowd and said, "Today's noon dog teasing drama is over, please go back to your own home and find your mother!"

So the crowd dispersed, leaving only a panting Chun and a smug Wen.

"I hate you......"

Tsubaki knelt on one knee and looked at the condescending Wen with a resentful expression.

"Hehe, I like you, honestly. Wen raised the camera, pressed the shutter, and said with a smile, "Since the opening of the 'Innocent Puppy's Panty Special', the sales of the newspaper have skyrocketed!"

"Poor!"

Tsubaki glared at Wen fiercely, then got up to put away the knife, turned around and left. Although she can't fight, she can hide.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Seeing this, Wen hurriedly followed.

"Go to a place without you!"

"Don't be so cold, little puck! I'm not just here to shoot your panties......!

"Oh, is it?" Chu turned his head and said coldly, "Then may I ask, this hard-working Miss Wen, do you have anything else?"

"Intelligence, intelligence! This time, I brought you a big piece of information!"

"Intelligence?"

"Look at this!"

Wen took out a blank piece of paper from his pocket and placed it in front of Chun.

"It's ...... Maps?"

Tsubaki took a closer look and realized that it was indeed a map that covered the entire territory of Gensokyo. In addition to the topography and outline of each region, there are many red crosses drawn on this map, and I don't know what they mean.

"The so-called intelligence work is not only an investigation, but also statistics are very important!" Wen puffed up his chest and said triumphantly, "So you're still too young after all, Xiao Zhen." ”

"As a senior, it is still necessary for me to teach you some experience in intelligence work......

"Alright, stop!" Chu gestured, interrupting Wen's boasting and bringing the topic to the point, "What do these red crosses mean?"

"Ah, hey...... Wen smiled slightly, "These are the locations of all the vampire attacks so far. I've put a bit of effort into including them all here. ”

"So what?" asked Tsubaki, tilting his head, "so what?"

It is not unclear that these places of the crime are not known, and it is precisely because even after investigating the scene that she can't find any useful clues, she will go so hard to find witnesses.

"That's why I said you're young, you're so young, little stupid dog!"

"It's not a stupid dog, it's a wolf!"

"That's the little stupid wolf!" Wen blinked, pointed to the red cross at the top of the map, and said, "Look where this is." ”

"It's ...... Monster Mountain!"

"That's right, that's where your men died, and that's where the crime took place in the first place. Since then, Yokai Mountain has been on increased alert, and those attackers have wisely given up the idea of continuing to attack Yokai Mountain. ”

She moved her finger to a few of the denser red crosses below, and continued:

Then, perhaps for fear of exposure, the attack shifted to sparsely populated areas. For example, the periphery of the Sun Flower Field, the shores of the Lake of Mist, and the edge of the Lost Bamboo Forest, some of which occur at the same time, and some of which occur sequentially. ”

"What you mean is that we can speculate on the next scene according to the law of the other party's crime......" Chu clapped his hands and looked suddenly realized, "and then set up an ambush in advance!"

"Stupid, we can't do that!" Wen shook his finger and said, "This time, we're going to go straight to their lair!"

"But how do you know where their lair is?"

"Look, Tsubaki!" Wen took out a pen, connected all the red crosses, and said, "Look, what is this?"

"One...... Circle?"

On that map, he only saw a large circle, and all the red crosses representing the location of the crime were all on the edge of this circle.

"First of all, the known clue is that the murderer must be a vampire, so here's the problem: vampires are diurnal creatures that must have a good hiding place to hide from the sun. ”

"Tell me, are there any places in Gensokkyo that can hide from the sun and not be easily discovered, and are close to these crime sites?"

"That's ......" Looking at the circled area on the map, she couldn't help but pronounce its name: "Enchanted Forest!"

“Bingo！”

Wen snapped her fingers, then put away the map, as she didn't need it anymore.

"With the exception of the first incident," she concluded, "all of them happened around this forest." Considering the environment inside the forest, it can be concluded that the enemy's hiding place is within the enchanted forest, and there is no second possibility!"

"In that case, let's ......" Tsubaki clenched his fists and looked eager to try.

"Ah, before the sun goes down, let's go to their lair and catch turtles in the urn!"
