Jason turned around and was greeted by the giant painting.

As the curtains opened, the windows opened.

This huge oil painting is exposed to the sun.

The sunlight makes this painting more colorful.

Jason didn't pay attention to that, though.

He is more concerned with the content of the painting.

He remembered very well that the previous painting was of three hunters with four or five hounds, returning from a hunt, dejected because of the scarcity of prey, but now it has largely not changed.

It's just that the eyes of one of the hunters seem to have changed.

And when Jason looked more closely, there were some subtle changes in the forest snow.

Bunny footprints!

A bunch of rabbit footprints appeared next to the bushes.

Jason was sure that there was no such bunny footprint just now.

And this hunter's gaze!

It's not the same.

The other party stares at the footprints of the rabbit!

When did the change occur?

Jason took a step back and looked at the whole.

When he saw the open window and the sunlight, he was suddenly surprised.

Specially made pigments?

While in The City That Never Sleeps, Jason encountered similar paints.

It's just that the pigment disappears when it is heated.

It was made by a group of 'fraudsters'.

Of course, in the end, this group of 'fraudsters' became the laughing stock of the 'City That Never Sleeps'.

Because, they even expect the borrowers of the 'City That Never Sleeps' to keep their promises.

"This is a secret pigment that manifests itself in accordance with the movement of air and sunlight...... It was also left to Hui Lijing by Hui Lixiang! ”

Jason's gaze followed the hunter's gaze to the bunny footprints, and then to the ceiling of the room.

There is no doubt that Hui Lijing left something for Hui Lixiang.

Because, except for Hui Lijing, no one else can enter this room at all.

And when Hui Lijing enters this room, it must be when patience is completely gone, so these things should be the most important thing compared to the huge wealth that can be seen in the room.

"What's wrong?"

Hui Lijing may be a last-class detective, but she is also a detective.

Jason's series of actions made her see the difference.

"What should be there?"

Jason looked at the ceiling and gestured to Hui Lijing.

Since Hui Lixiang left it to Hui Lijing, he thought that if he wanted to take the item down, he should at least ask Hui Lijing's consent.

"I'm coming!"

Hui Lijing volunteered to move a chair in the room and stood up.

That corner of the ceiling opened with a push.

Hui Lijing reached in and took off a tightly wrapped bag.

It is said to be a sac, but it is actually only the size of a palm.

The outer layer was wrapped in layers of kraft oil paper, and then several layers of scotch tape were wrapped, apparently to prevent moisture and mildew.

Undoubtedly, Hui Lixiang understands her sister and has made 'long-term preparations'.

In other words, Hui Lijing did not find the preparation here 'once'.

It's a preparation that only discovers when the house is 'thoroughly cleaned'.

After all, who can expect more from a mercenary who dreams of being a barista but becomes a detective?

Without using any scissors, Hui Lijing began to tear the package with her hands.

Sting!

The sturdy tape and kraft oil paper were torn open in a few clicks, revealing the small box inside.

The small box resembles a small jewelry box.

After opening it, Hui Lijing was disappointed.

Because, there is no text message in it that can be seen directly.

All I had was a white business card and a photograph.

Hui Lijing picked up the business card and read it out unconsciously.

"Master Tongshouji?"

The female boss obviously wondered why her sister would put such a business card on the ceiling so carefully and secretly.

Jason's eyes narrowed!

Master Tong Shouji!

It was the second time he had heard the name, or rather the name.

The first time was from the mouth of Ichiro Aijo, and the other party said that it was 'Master Tong Shouji' who gave him guidance and brought him to the 'Mask X Cachete X Meat' office.

And this time it was Hui Lijing's missing sister, who left the business card of 'Master Tong Shouji'.

Originally, Jason also divided 'Ichiro Aijo's commission incident' and 'Hui Lijing's sister's disappearance incident' into two, as his own arrangement before his arrival.

However, now it seems that the two can be combined into one.

But that didn't give Jason any joy.

It seems that there is more time left, but in fact there is less useful information.

And......

When everything pointed to this 'Master of Tong Shouji', Jason's already vigilant heart became more and more cautious.

The other party can't wait to lead him over, there is a high probability that it is a trap.

Even if it's not a trap, it has some ulterior motives.

"Do you know this person?"

Looking at Jason's pensive appearance, Hui Lijing asked.

"I've heard it once."

"Before, 'Aijo Ichiro' said that he came to me to exorcise the demon after the guidance of the other party."

And then ...... He's dead. ”

Jason replied.

Such an answer seemed a bit funny, but Hui Lijing frowned.

"With my detective's intuition, there's definitely something wrong with this!"

Hui Lijing said firmly.

Faced with such determination, Jason almost rolled his eyes.

It's a person who can see that there's something wrong with it.

"Detectives are talking about evidence, not intuition."

"You're not a medium!"

Jason corrected.

And when Jason's voice fell, Hui Lijing stared at Jason and looked at him again.

This kind of look is not the same as the appearance of the previous time.

It's a kind of scrutiny that wants to see through a person's heart.

It's a pity that Hui Lijing still sees a tall, strong body and a rough and frightening face.

After a full four or five seconds, the female boss spoke again.

"You're a detective too, aren't you?"

"Relying on his extraordinary observation, he disguised himself as an exorcist, and then, he solved various cases disguised as 'youkai' and 'evil spirits'."

"No wonder you're taller and stronger than the instructors in my previous camp."

The female boss swore to a conclusion.

Is there any necessary connection between a detective and being tall and strong?

Shouldn't detectives use their brains?

Jason wanted to ask him that, but didn't bother to explain.

He didn't think it was necessary.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false.

When the other party sees it, it will be far better than his thousand words.

Jason's silence made the female boss misunderstand.

"I've heard of detectives disguised as psychic mediums before who chased the killer because his wife and children were killed...... What about you? ”

Hui Lijing looked at Jason with twinkling eyes, as if she wanted to dig up some secret.

Those twinkling eyes, with curiosity, but also pity and sympathy.

There is no need to ask, Jason also knows that in Hui Lijing's mind, he has already added a big drama of life and death to parting.

"I'm an exorcist."

"Not married."

"No children."

Jason had to say.

"What about cats and dogs? What about pets? ”

Hui Lijing asked without giving up.

And this kind of questioning made Jason subconsciously think of Denise. 315 Chinese Network

What is that guy doing now?

It's definitely on the couch or the bed!

Then, Jason immediately came up with the answer, and the corners of Jason's mouth couldn't help but curl up at the thought of Denise lying on his side reading a book, half of his body was paralyzed, and he had to turn around, but because of cramps, he shouted for help.

But immediately, Jason became solemn.

With the exception of the 'Table Manners' quest, none of the quests can be returned.

What's going on?

Jason's expression changed, and Hui Lijing saw it in his eyes.

"I've had a dog before...... too"

"It's not a dog."

"It's Erha."

Jason emphasized.

"Erha is not a dog?"

Hui Lijing was stunned for a moment, but then said nothing.

Obviously, Jason has long regarded that Erha as a family member.

At this time, it is a little inappropriate to emphasize the words of the dog.

Therefore, Hui Lijing immediately changed the subject.

She picked up the other item in the box.

That photo.

The photo shows a group photo of two girls, about nine or ten years old, wearing the same plaid skirt, standing side by side, showing a happy smile, and it is worth mentioning that one of the girls is a head taller than the other.

Even though the photo is black and white, it becomes colorful with the innocent, sweet smiles of the two girls.

"This is the only photo I have with that guy."

"Back then, I was running behind her ass every day."

"Although I grew a little taller, every time something happened, she was protecting me - we were in the country at the time, and some little ghosts were really annoying, just because I was tall, they actually hit me with cow dung and called me eight feet sir!"

"I'm still shakuhachi, E go forward, Haza give!"

Hui Lijing made a gesture of brandishing a long knife and charging forward.

Jason ignored Hui Lijing and looked at the photo carefully.

He hopes to find some possible clues.

But this black-and-white photograph has been stored for more than ten years, and even though the owner carefully protects it, it still turns yellow, and the printing technology at that time is obviously backward, except for the two little girls, there is nothing else to see.

Jason, who didn't get anything, returned the photo to Hui Lijing.

Hui Lijing carefully put the photo away, then closed the window of the room, closed the curtains, and then, after simply tidying up the room, she turned to Jason and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

Jason asked knowingly.

Photo: Hui Lijing is stored close to her.

Hui Lijing held that business card in her hand.

What this female boss thinks is naturally clear at a glance.

"Of course, I'm going to find this 'Master of Tong Shouji'!"

"He has so many secrets, as long as you find him, everything will be clear!"

"If he really has something to do with my sister's disappearance, I'll give him a taste of a trip to hell!"

Hui Lijing finished speaking very seriously, and looked down at the business card.

"Next to Tong Shoucho Elementary School?"

"It's in the Silver-09 block."

"If you take a taxi, you can get there in an hour."

Hui Lijing said to herself, and she had to take action.

And when Hui Lijing took two steps, she found that Jason didn't move.

She looked at Jason in confusion.

Clues have been found, so why not act?

Jason said seriously.

"As an ordinary citizen, what should I do when I encounter such a thing?"

Ordinary citizens?

Hui Lijing looked at Jason and couldn't help but purse her lips.

She didn't know what Jason was trying to do.

"Borrow your phone."

Jason walked downstairs.

He remembered an old-fashioned landline at the bar.

Hui Lijing, who didn't know why, followed behind, and saw Jason take out a business card and dial the phone number reserved on it.

"Is it Officer Ryosuke?"

"I've made some discoveries here."

"Hmm."

"It has something to do with Ichiro Aijo's death, and he said that he was introduced to me by 'Master Tongshouji'...... Well, not a suspicion, of course, just a clue. ”

"Okay, goodbye."

Seeing Jason's expressionless face, but speaking on the phone in a rich tone, Hui Lijing couldn't come back to her senses at all.

Until Jason hung up the phone, Hui Lijing was still stunned.

"You, you ......"

"Call the police!"

"As a good citizen, you must call the police if you encounter trouble!"

Jason replied.

"Yes, yes...... You're a detective! ”

Hui Lijing asked rhetorically.

In her cognition, detectives have never been liked by the police.

"It's because of guys like you that detectives have always been disliked by the police."

"Why not cooperate?"

"I know a person who cooperates with the police quite well, and is even regarded as a savior."

Jason said as he walked to his TV and radio.

And Hui Lijing was completely attracted to attention.

Detectives are used as saviors by the police?

How is this possible?

How incompetent are those police officers to consider detectives as saviors?

Subconsciously, she wanted to ask.

Jason picked up the TV and radio and walked out of the café.

But how could Hui Lijing, whose curiosity had been aroused, give up.

"Wait for me!"

"Who's that detective you're talking about?"

"To this extent, it must be famous, right?"

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"You're not bluffing me, are you?"

Hui Lijing, who was following Jason, asked again and again.

Then, in order to get the answer, he took two quick steps and opened the door to Jason's room with the spare key.

"Your sign is too shabby, isn't it?"

"Just a piece of paper?"

"At least it should be made of wood!"

Hui Lijing looked at the A4 paper pasted under the door number and couldn't help but say.

"As long as it works."

Jason replied and walked in with the TV and radio.

And Hui Lijing, who followed Jason, stopped in the hallway.

"Don't you have slippers?"

Hui Lijing asked.

"Not used to it."

Jason said casually, ignoring Hui Lijing, and began to put the TV and radio on the desk, one on one side, and the wide desk suddenly looked a little cramped after putting a TV and radio.

However, it is quite enough.

After plugging in the radio and debugging it, Jason was ready to turn on the TV.

But just when Jason was about to poke the power of the TV-

Click!

Rustle!

The TV turned on on its own.

A large snowflake fills the TV screen.

Gradually, the snowflakes disappeared.

What emerges is ......

A well.
