The next few days passed without incident.

Su Zeying stayed in that house, stayed there with Firefly, ate, practiced and slept every day, and lived a leisurely life.

During this period, Tsuji Zaofu came to the door a few more times, except for some transactional factors, more of a way to see Hotaru, with a pious gesture as shamelessly and honestly coaxed her as if he was visiting a goddess, and then he was kicked out of the courtyard by Su Zeying......

- That's how she lived, and from the outside, it seemed that she hadn't changed at all, and she was still as heartless as ever. No matter how Su Zeying observes, she is just a pervert who is intoxicated by this.

Women are really natural actors.

Su Zeying couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

However, just a few days later, a few days later, more than ten days, I don't know why, Tsuji Zofu didn't come again.

……

A few days later.

Outside the shop with the sign of "Xingye Huiju", Su Zeying looked at the closed door, stood with his chest crossed, and looked up, the three-story attic-style building stood gloomily in the sun, and the quaint wooden pillars showed a condensed luster.

"It's closed......"

Su Zeying muttered, stretching out his hand to cover his forehead, blocking the strong sunlight falling from the sky.

Because of Hotaru's request, she was a little worried about the woman who hadn't shown up for more than ten days, Hotaru who was born as an orphan, and it was always easy to be strongly moved by the good feelings of others about her, and perhaps it was for this reason that she regarded Tsuji Zofu as her own relative and friend.

After not coming for more than ten days, the house suddenly became much more deserted. Su Zeying was so happy, he had long been accustomed to cultivating hard alone. But Hotaru doesn't like loneliness, so Su Zeying walked out of the door at her request, came to the street, and walked here along the path of her memory to see what happened to Tsujizo.

However, when I got here, there was only a closed door left in front of me......

"Interesting."

Su Zeying groaned, slowly paced to the gate of the Xingye Guild Residence, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped it on the door pusher, and his index finger was suddenly dyed gray.

"It's a bit thick with dust, what happened here not long ago?"

Su Zeying's heart moved slightly, and she looked up at the corner above the door frame, where there was a spider web, and a spider was working it.

"In the past ten or twenty days, hasn't this store been open? Well, it's possible that the tour went to ......"

Talking about jokes to herself, Su Zeying walked to the back wall of Xingye Huiju, and with a light support of one hand, she casually climbed over the wall and stepped on the land in the backyard of this store.

As a ninja, he can't even climb over the wall, which is too insulting to his professionalism.

With his feet on the thick dirt, the courtyard in front of him looked calm and desolate. There are no flowers and trees, and there are no special plants, just desolate wild grasses growing haphazardly.

Su Zeying's glasses didn't blink, and walked forward with a "rustle" step on the blades of grass. Step out of the backyard into the main room.

There is no doubt that breaking into a private house is forbidden in any era and in any world.

But Su Zeying walked in like this.

is not only because of Hotaru's request, in fact, so far, Su Zeying's series of behaviors have been completely driven by his own heart.

- Because, suddenly, he felt that things had become interesting.

……

The interior of the "Xingye Huiju" store is still as Su Zeying saw more than 20 days ago, and the furnishings in the room are monotonous and cold to the point of making people cry.

Probably because it didn't take too long, there was only a light layer of ash on the ground.

Su Zeying stepped on it, but moved away in an instant. He lowered his head and looked at where he had stepped on it.

At the same place where he had stepped on it, there was a dark red thing frozen on the floor, and although it had been more than ten days, it was still stubbornly there.

- That's blood.

Completely coagulated, has become solid blood.

Su Zeying's eyes narrowed slightly.

And even on the floor, there were several streaks of dark red clotted blood, as if it had come down from someone's wound.

Su Zeying glanced at it a few times, then rummaged through the drawers and cabinets in the room, and found nothing useful, Su Zeying shook his head, left the store, and walked down the stairs behind the store to the second floor.

On the second floor, the hall was empty and there were three small rooms. Su Zeying walked through all these rooms, and found something interesting in one of the small rooms.

"This ......"

Here's a picture.

A framed photograph placed on a cabinet.

There's nothing special about the photo itself, it's just that the content inside is interesting.

- I saw that in that photo, three people suddenly appeared.

A girl who looks like Tsuji's face is smiling brightly in the center of the photograph, and an old man stands behind her, smiling kindly, looking straight ahead.

In addition, there was another person, but he was holding the black hilt of the knife, standing silently to the side, only a slight smile in his eyes, but his face was as cold as a knife.

And on his cheek, there was a deep scar!

"It's that man...... Koichi Nakamura......"

Su Zeying's voice sounded in this small room, and she seemed to think it was very interesting, and a few inscrutable smiles appeared on her face.

……

After a few minutes, without finding anything more to analyze, Su Zeying walked out of the backyard from the same road, squinted again, glanced back at the building, he turned his head, and left here without hesitation.

Soon returned to his home and bought some food on the way.

Although the woman named Tsuji Shofuki may have encountered something dangerous, or had fallen into some kind of whirlpool. But he's still a good swimmer, and it's not what happened to him or Hotaru, what is there to worry about.

I bought a few skewers of meatballs, and I also bought a few skewers of grilled octopus, and the cumin and chili peppers were sprinkled on it, and the spicy flavor was staggering. Su Zeying ate one by one, enjoying the delicious food to the fullest, and when she got home, her mouth was already red.

Hotaru can't eat spicy food, so he can only eat the food produced by these street stalls.

"Reflection...... How happened to Sister Tsujizofumi? ”

As soon as he got home, Hotaru greeted him anxiously, a little scared and a little afraid.

"Hotaru, you're a great guy...... Don't worry, she's fine, I asked someone nearby there, and it was the guy's family who left here with her, probably because something happened in the house......"

Su Zeying smiled and rubbed her hair.

"That's ......"

Hotaru suddenly relaxed, and let out a long breath.

Su Zeying shook her head and smiled, put the balls stained with sugar water on Firefly's hand, and looked at her suddenly lit up eyes, and the smile on her face became warmer.

It's just that while shaking her head, Su Zeying moved her gaze out the window, and a fine light flashed in her eyes.
