Stalkers?

Hui Lijing's eyes lit up after confirming this idea.

That kind of real light, even if it has long, heavy bangs as a cover, it is useless.

Jason also noticed a change in the female detective.

Subconsciously, he looked at the female detective.

And the female detective was already excited at this time.

For a female detective, she never worries about accidents.

All she worries about is the 'mediocrity' of the whole 'case'.

Any accident represents a 'clue'!

Catch such clues, and then, kill them - this is probably the easiest way to solve the whole 'case'.

This is what her teacher told her when she became a detective.

Hui Lijing has always kept it in mind.

So, while driving the car, Hui Lijing stretched out her hand under the seat.

The next moment-

A miniature submachine gun appeared in her hand.

This is the weapon equipment re-equipped by Hui Lijing after discovering that relatively simple conventional weapons could not cope with emergencies.

It's not just a micro-punch in your hand.

In the trunk, she also prepared a bazooka.

Jason said, 'Small caliber can't do it?' Then try the large-bore one! She kept it in her heart.

"Let's give them a good look!"

Hui Lijing said this, and was about to turn around and shoot, but was stopped by Jason with a look.

"What's wrong, Jason?"

Hui Lijing asked puzzled.

She knew that Jason was not a mother-in-law, and since he stopped her, there must be a reason.

"Put a long line and catch a big fish."

Jason replied briefly.

"Understood."

Hui Lijing nodded.

Although she didn't think it was necessary, she respected Jason's opinion.

After all, she is just a newcomer and rookie in the 'mysterious side' and 'inner world'.

Professional things are left to professional people to do.

Hui Lijing immediately put away her slight rush and looked ahead again.

Of course, Hui Lijing would glance at the rear mirror from time to time.

The stalker is very professional, if she hadn't discovered the other party's traces in advance, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to find that she was being tracked.

So how did Jason find out?

Perceive?

Gut feeling?

Or is it a trick?

Thinking about it, the female detective became excited again.

Because, if it's a skill, it means that she can learn.

Ask Jason afterwards!

Having made up her mind with such an idea, the female detective began to concentrate on driving.

Jason sat safely in the back row, again without any intention of looking back.

Because, where the stalker in the back came from, Jason knew it by heart.

Blossom Garden!

The taste of the food 'Blessing Stone' is so obvious.

If there was only one prayer stone, Jason wasn't sure.

However, when the three people in the car were all carrying prayer stones, Jason could already conclude that the other party was from the family of Hua Kaiyuan - Hua Kaiyuan Qing once said that the 'Blessing Stone' is a stone in a century-old temple that receives incense and blessings, which can effectively avoid malicious peeping, and can also scare off most ordinary demons, and even, if the life is right, it will bring good luck to the wearer.

Therefore, it has been welcomed by the vast majority of people on the 'mysterious side' and 'inner world'.

However, the 'Blessing Stone' is not easy to obtain.

On the island, there are only a lot of 'blessing stones' on the island, and in addition to the Hanakaiin family, only the Tongshou Temple remains.

These are the original words of the blossoming courtyard.

The latter, Jason has already determined to be a fake.

But the former?

Jason is sure it's true.

Because, the old monk of Tongshou Temple also said so.

As for the 'blessing stone' of Tongshou Temple?

The master of the previous generation of Tong Shouji was too kind.

Not only to help others through the crisis, but also to give away a 'blessing stone' from time to time.

To put it simply, it's gone.

In fact, it's not just the 'Blessing Stone'.

The huge family business of Tong Shou Temple was also given by the master of Tong Shou Temple.

If it weren't for the advice of the previous generation of the master of the Tong Shou Temple, the previous generation of the master of the Tong Shou Temple would definitely be able to send the entire Tong Shouji Temple out.

Jason did not comment on this.

Everyone has their own way of living.

However, he was really distressed.

If Tong Shouji was still the original Tong Shou Temple, he would probably accept the title of 'Master Tong Shou Temple' calmly, definitely not because of the 'food' that Tong Shouji has saved for hundreds of years, or just because he likes this heritage.

And now?

There is no foundation in the Tong Shou Temple, so let's leave it to the talented old monk to guard it.

He?

There is no such ability.

Nor does it have this talent.

He is just an ordinary, ordinary person.

Not only love to eat, but also eat.

He can't take care of such a huge industry.

He didn't want to prove his idea like Hua Kaiyuan Qing.

There is no 'ambition' of the other branches of the Hua Kaiyuan family.

As long as no one disturbs him eating, that's fine.

Jason thought so simply.

Two cars in front and the car in the back.

Soon, when the car in front of Uesugi turned into a block, the car following behind stopped.

The sign standing on the side of the road is clearly written-

Private territory, please do not trespass.

"Shhh

"This piece is all the property of the Uesugi family?"

Hui Lijing gasped as she looked at the building complex with no end in sight.

The female detective never knew that there was such a huge private property in the city.

When she parked her car, she thought she was in a new neighborhood.

"It's all the shadow of the ancestors, I, a guy who lacks ability, has never expanded a little industry, I can only guard these industries and leave them to future generations."

Uesugi sighed with a little regret.

"It's not easy."

It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business.

Jason thought of the previous master of the Tong Shouji Temple again.

"No, it's a matter of my ability."

"I don't dare to innovate."

"I can only accept the tradition that remains, just like at this time, I still follow the rules left by my grandfather, and after entering here, I choose to walk forward on foot - when I was younger, my father scolded me once for riding a bicycle here, and since then, I have remembered it."

Uesugi said that he once again expressed his apologies to Jason and Hui Lijing for the rest of the journey, and on foot.

"It's okay."

"Mr. Uesugi, your house is really big!"

"Hey, there's a gate here, too?"

After rounding a corner and stepping into an uphill arc, Hui Lijing was about to say something, when she was suddenly stunned.

In front of the eyes of the female detective, another door appeared.

Compared to the iron fence gate on the outside, the door in front of me is taller, the outside is wrapped in iron sheets, the inside is solid wood, and more importantly, the wall that inlays this door......

It's a city wall, right?

The female detective couldn't help but think as she looked at the 'wall' that was big enough for three people to charge on horseback.

"My ancestor had some fame during the Warring States period, so the current ancestral house is the 'castle' it used to be - of course, only some buildings of 'Honmaru' remain, and more buildings have been destroyed."

"Including the former 'castle tower', there is only one floor left."

"After that, it was all repaired by our descendants."

"Otherwise, you will be able to see the five-fold 'castle tower' when you walk on the road just now."

"However, times are advancing."

"Something, it's over, it's over."

"We can't pursue it anymore."

"At most, it's a little bit of remembrance."

Uesugi sighed.

Obviously, this middle-aged man regretted that the glory of his ancestors was completely lonely.

But, that is, it is a pity.

There was no resentment.

Coupled with the gentle temperament of this middle-aged man, the communication between the three of them was still very pleasant.

Of course, the whole process was a female detective communicating with the middle-aged man.

Jason glanced around without saying a word.

It's his habit.

And the female detective is cooperating.

As an assistant, it's natural to attract attention.

The rest?

Just leave it to Jason.

With this thought, Hui Lijing asked more energetically.

On the way to the 'ancestral house', she almost inquired about the Uesugi family.

However, there was one thing she was still curious about.

"Mr. Uesugi, why did I see so few servants along the way?"

The female detective asked.

In this huge complex, except for the two young and strong men standing at the entrance, there were very few servants and waiters on the whole road.

The ones I can see are also some elderly uncles and aunts.

This is very rare in wealthy families.

At least, the female detective didn't see it.

Those slightly wealthier families are eager to hire a class of servants and waiters to show their status.

"They're all at work!"

"There is something special about the Uesugi family, these servants have followed our family for generations, so we have already been partially separated from each other - they have been in the family since birth. The fund will start to give a part of the money, until they graduate from high school, it is the family management, and after that, if they are admitted to university, the family will also reward a large amount of money to use for the next four years of tuition, and when they graduate from college, they will join the Uesugi family business, most of them are like this, and even if they don't want to, it won't have any effect. ”

"And when you get older, you're naturally retired, and the people you just saw are people who have retired from the family business."

"They will live here just like their ancestors."

"And I will be as accountable to them as my ancestors were."

Uesugi explained.

And after hearing such words, the female detective was secretly speechless.

Although she hasn't understood it in detail, she has already inexplicably felt the so-called 'family' atmosphere.

Just when the female detective was about to say something-

"Father!"

A gentle greeting came.

Around the corner in front of them, a girl was standing pretty.

The female detective looked at each other in surprise.

Not only because the other party was standing there, she didn't notice it before she spoke, but also because of the other party's height.

The other party is only slightly shorter than her!

Although the female detective is quite annoying about her height at a certain stage, the female detective also inexplicably has quite confidence in her height.

Even compared to tall men, she stands proudly.

The girl in front of her is only slightly shorter than her, and you can imagine her height.

Moreover, even if you are wearing a blue and white sportswear, you can still directly see a trace of muscle lines in the shoulders and thighs of the other party.

Not only is it tall, but it also has quite muscles.

Unconsciously, the female detective feels like she is looking in the mirror.

If it weren't for the other party's temperament being too gentle and a little shorter.

The female detective was surprised, and the girl opposite was also surprised.

She looked at the girl who was taller than herself in a daze, and it took three or four seconds to come back to her senses.

Suddenly, the girl's face flushed.

"I'm sorry, it's my daughter."

"I rarely lose my respects, it should be because I haven't had a good rest in the past few days."

"Tora Chiyo, hurry up and apologize to the two guests."

Sensing his daughter's faux pas, Uesugi apologized again and again.

"I'm so sorry."

The girl named Tora Chiyo also apologized.

It can be seen that this girl is as rich as her father.

"Tora Chiyo, why are you here?"

"Didn't I say, wait in the hall?"

Uesugi asked.

"I'm just curious about the exorcist you found, father, so, come and see."

Tiger Chiyo replied.

His gaze also shifted from Hui Lijing's body to Jason.

However, after just a glance, he looked at Hui Lijing again.

Although Jason's height and strength amazed her, compared with Hui Lijing, it was still Hui Lijing who attracted her more.

Because, she always felt as if she had seen Hui Lijing somewhere.

There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Maybe it's height?

Wrong.

Where do we think we've met?

Tiger Chiyo thought so.

And just when Tiger Chiyo was thinking like this, Hui Lijing spoke directly.

"Have we met anywhere?"

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry, I was thinking the same thing, so I exclaimed unconsciously."

"Are you from Echigo High School?"

After exclaiming, Tiger Chiyo began to ask in a low voice.

"No, it's not."

"I'm from Yamanashi High School."

The female detective shook her head regretfully.

However, the exchange between the two girls did not end.

They talk in a low voice about clothes, movies, songs, even desserts and food.

In short, it's a chat like a 'package'.

When the topic of chatting inexplicably entered the 'bag', the friendship between the two began to heat up rapidly.

Uesugi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

Women's friendship, it's weird.

The middle-aged man sighed.

Then, the other looked at Jason.

"It's rare for Toragiyo to meet friends you can talk to......"

There was a slight embarrassment in the voice, but the meaning could not be more obvious.

Uesugi wants Hui Lijing to talk more about her daughter.

Jason had no objection to this.

"Is the ancestral house just ahead?"

He just asked.

"Right ahead, I'll take you."

Uesugi nodded immediately.

Then, the rest of the road became Jason, Uesugi in front, and Hui Lijing and Toragiyo in the back.

Jason, who was walking in front, didn't say a word, and Uesugi couldn't say anything.

And Hui Lijing and Tiger Chiyo, who were walking behind, chatted more and more hotly.

By this time, Hui Lijing had already told Tora Chiyo how she had taught the boys who bullied her a lesson with cow dung.

"Hey, they must be afraid of you."

Toragiyo whispered.

"Hmph, that kind of guy should make them scared."

"What 'eight-foot adult', it's not as good as my name."

Hui Lijing snorted angrily.

"Crystal's milk name?"

"What is it?"

Toragiyo asked curiously.

"Hmm...... Katsuchiyo. ”

"Isn't it weird?"

"Don't laugh, if you laugh, I'll be angry."

Hui Lijing emphasized.

Because, this milk name is too boyish.

"Katsuchiyo?"

"Good."

Tiger Chiyo comforts his friend he just met.

Just when Hui Lijing said her name, her inexplicable familiarity became a little stronger.

We really seem to have seen it somewhere.

She couldn't help but think.

Hui Lijing felt something similar.

And Jason, who was walking in front, suddenly paused, and the whole person disappeared in place.

By the time Jason reappeared, he was already standing behind Hui Lijing and Tiger Chiyo.

At this time, a long knife cut out of the shadows had just come to the front, and the long knife did not stop at all, even though the target of the attack had already changed, but it still went straight forward.

It slashed at Jason's neck.

And then—

Clang!

Sparks splash.

The long knife snapped.
