Chapter 6: Men and Girls

"It's really a disappointment, I finally came out and encountered such a thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Yingli said a little depressed.

Maori smiled: "Haha, this is also something that can't be helped. However, the Osaka Police Department also has a lot of elites, and they will definitely catch the prisoners. ā€

"Xiaolan, are you afraid?" Hitomi touched Xiaolan's head: "Don't be disappointed, we still have a few days to play." ā€

Xiaolan shook her head and said obediently: "Xiaolan is very brave~ And I have my brother to protect me." ā€

"Ha~Of course~"

"You little ghost, isn't it your father who protects you?"

"Hey, hey, dad is the best!"

――――――

It didn't take long for Maori and his party to return to the place where they had begun to enter the valley, and although there was still not half a figure to be seen, it was at least much safer than the mountain stream just now.

A few hundred meters further on, you will find the entrance to the attraction, which is facing a road where you can already hear the sound of car horns.

"There shouldn't be any danger here, maybe the prisoner has already been caught." Maori looked back at the place he had just walked and said to Yingli and them.

"Yes, I hope so." Ying Li frowned: "It's a little uncomfortable to think that there was a murder in the hotel where we stayed." ā€

"Relax, it's really not good, let's go back and change to a hotel."

"That's all it can be." Yingli nodded, and then looked at Maori suspiciously: "You told me last night that the hotel is too expensive, do you want to say this for a long time?" ā€

"Aha~ How is this possible!" Maori hurriedly waved his hand, but his expression was very happy no matter how he looked at it.

Fei Yingli rolled her eyes, then looked around and found that there was a bathroom not far ahead, so she asked, "Xiaolan, do you want to accompany your mother to the toilet?" ā€

"Okay." Xiaolan nodded obediently, took Yingli's hand and walked towards the bathroom.

――――――

Xiao Hitomi and Maori don't need convenience, and the two men, one big and one small, are bored.

"Mom and Xiaolan are so slow," Hitomi glanced at the bathroom and complained to Maori.

Maori nodded sympathetically: "Yes, women are trouble!" ā€

As soon as the words fell, I saw Yingli walking over alone, looking at Xiao Hitomi and Mao Li, and asked strangely, "Where is Xiaolan?" Didn't she come out first? ā€

"What? We've been here all along, haven't we seen her? ā€

Yingli's face was a little ugly and said: "It's impossible, Xiaolan came out first for a while, saying that she was afraid that her brother would be in a hurry..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Hitomi running quickly towards the bathroom: "Xiaolan, are you there?" Xiaolan, answer me quickly! ā€

Maori and Yingli were also full of panic, and quickly ran over with Hitomi.

Xiaolan, don't be okay with you!

Xiao Lan's pure and transparent eyes appeared in Xiao Hitomi's heart, and he didn't even dare to think about the worst possibility.

――――――

"There's no one in the bathroom, and I've looked around next to it, but it's still not..."

"Look here, there is a path, is Xiaolan going in this direction?"

Maori pointed to a very hidden path next to it, which was too thick to spot at first glance.

Xiao Hitomi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Dad, didn't you leave Uncle Otaki's phone number?" Go and ask if the prisoner has been caught? ā€

When Maori and Yingli heard this, this is a very likely consequence, Yingli's eyes seem to have lost all light at this moment, and his mouth shouted: "Don't be like that..."

――――――

Hitomi watched Maori nervously dial the phone, and after a brief conversation, Maori obviously relaxed his expression.

"Mr. Otaki said that the prisoner has been caught and is on his way back to the police station, and promised me to send some police forces here to find Xiaolan."

Yingli suddenly let out a long breath, but still didn't relax: "Since it has nothing to do with that prisoner, where did Xiaolan go..."

Hitomi frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Hotels, corpses, boxes, middle-aged men...

What's the problem?

The prisoner has obviously been caught, why am I still so uneasy in my heart?

Yesterday's man was at the station...

Stop!

Xiao Hitomi suddenly raised up: "Dad! Ask Officer Otaki when the prisoner stayed at the hotel! ā€

Seeing that Maori hadn't reacted yet, he yelled again: "Hurry! ā€

――――――

At the end of a quiet path, there is still a mountain stream covered with red fields.

Two figures, one large and one small, were walking slowly.

"Thank you so much, little friend. Otherwise, I'm going to die of exhaustion. ā€

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, wearing an old brown trench coat, and his face was a little vicissitudes.

"It's okay, my brother has always taught me to try my best to help people in need!"

"Oh? Do you still have a brother? The middle-aged man's eyes seemed to suddenly have some brilliance, and he looked down at the pure angelic girl in front of him, and asked curiously.

"Yes, my brother is very good, very, very good to me!"

"yes, that's pretty good." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I also have a younger sister, and our relationship is also like yours, very, very good." ā€

"Really? Then you must be her guardian knight, right? ā€

"Guardian Knight?"

"Guardian Knight!" The little girl nodded firmly: "My brother said that in this world, all my sisters are princesses, and their elder brother is a guardian knight, who will protect them for a lifetime!" ā€

"Haha, your brother is so interesting!"

"Eun! But..."The little girl's expression was a little worried: "I should be in a hurry if he can't find me at this time..."

"Don't worry about this, he will definitely be happy if he knows that you helped a stranger!"

"Yes! But uncle, where are we going? ā€

"It's not far away, it's almost there." The middle-aged man's footsteps paused: "My sister is waiting for me." ā€

"Huh? So my uncle is going to meet your sister? ā€

"That's right. Would you like to see her? The middle-aged man looked at the little girl, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Good! Your sister must be beautiful! ā€

"Well, she was as cute as you when she was a child!"

"Hee-hee... But uncle, your box is really heavy! ā€

"Yes, because this is a gift I prepared for her..."

――――――

In the red mountain stream, the figures of men and girls fade away.

From a distance, under the setting sun, this pair of figures is like an oil painting, with a faint warmth flowing between the brushes and ink.

It's just that a discordant sound keeps ringing out, like an invisible demon, making the last hideous.

A large, worn-out suitcase, slowly dragging through the dirt.

Creak... Creak...
