The clue was broken here, and the rest was waiting for the autopsy report from the medical department, and once again stepping into Brad Street, looking at the familiar shops and buildings on the street, there was a feeling of being in a different world.

It seems that it has been a while since he felt the hustle and bustle of the city, and I have to say that after returning from the Western-style museum, he did leave some sequelae, that is, his perception of time no longer seems to be as clear as before, and even sometimes, there is a kind of trance where time stops.

Jiang Chenchuan glanced down at the broken pocket watch, the minute hand was stuck in the middle, trembling slightly, and it seemed that he was going to find some free time to go to the watch repairer.

The thought that this was the loss of ten gold gallons made my heart ache.

It was like a dream that was forever hidden in the night, in which no one would wake up, and when he stepped up the stairs, he was greeted not by the enthusiastic landlord, but by the early winter who had been waiting for news at home.

She leaned against the door, holding a bottle of potion that seemed to be full of darkness in her hand, swaying gently, as if she no longer had to hide herself in front of Jiang Chenchuan.

"I'm back."

It's not as cold as when we first met.

"The boy's name was Jason, and so did the policeman who killed him."

"So, I'm right, the Sheriff's Department police aren't worth trusting. They can't do anything good."

In the early winter, she responded coldly, and with the appearance of a summer person, she didn't have a very good impression of the Security Department.

"The bodies have been sent to the medical department for autopsy, and it is estimated that the results will be available in the next two days."

"One more thing."

Early Winter lowered her eyes, she opened her body sideways, only then could she see that the leather box under her feet had been opened, and the white square box that was originally inside was gone.

"The finger...... It's gone."

"By the time I found it, it was gone."

After opening the door and finally returning to his own small world, hanging his coat on a retro hanger, Jiang Chenchuan began to miss the warm hot bath.

The water at the right temperature flowed down his hair, and every time he washed it, there was a feeling of relaxation, as well as the hard-won calm, and the moments when he didn't have to tense his nerves were especially cherished.

"Letter, I've put it on the table."...

Mr. Bourne's voice sounded in the room, Jiang Chenchuan answered in the bathroom, and then, there was the sound of the door closing.

Early Winter also returned to her room, the black blindfold hanging by the pool, she raised her eyes, and the silver moon in her eyes had become four.

"Time ......"

She whispered.

"Not much."

Wiping his wet hair, he didn't turn on the light in his room, he sat on the bed and stared out the window in a daze, the sky gradually became gloomy, and I don't know how long I sat like this, until the whole world was completely dark, and even the room fell into darkness.

He didn't get up and turned on the light, just sat on the edge of the bed, and went through the events of the past few days, and he didn't know how long time had passed, but just as he was thinking, there was a sound of Suosuo's voice.

When I opened my closed eyes, I could vaguely see that a black figure had crept in from the balcony, and by the light of the street, I could see the movements of the black shadow.

He seemed to be looking for something, crouched down and groped around his desk, even the drawers were pulled open and touched, perhaps out of fear, the man did not bring any light sources.

In this way, Jiang Chenchuan sat on the bed, watched the figure from the desk, touched the bookshelf, and then walked through the sofa to the door.

A hand stretched out, as if groping for the door to be opened, Jiang Chenchuan, who couldn't stand it, sighed softly.

"What are you looking for?"

It was clear that he was the intruder, but he was frightened by the sudden sound, and only heard a miserable scream, which was the sound of tripping over something.

Smack-

The overhead lights turned on.

Jiang Chenchuan walked to the door, looked at the young man who fell to the ground and screamed coldly, showing a helpless look.

"Last time,

It's you, too."

The golden pupils shrank suddenly, and they quickly disappeared, and he knew in his heart what Jiang Chenchuan meant by what he said last time, his face was distorted in pain, and he didn't say anything on his lips.

"So, what are you looking for from me?"

Jiang Chenchuan leaned against the door, not even holding a cane, indicating that he didn't have much desire to attack.

He also knew the young man in front of him, at the door of the Atlas Alchemy Academy, the young man who knelt down to him, including the golden pupils that flashed when he was also emotional.

It's weird.

"Since you've been caught, it's up to you to kill or chop you!"

The boy seemed to be planning to give up the treatment, and he closed his eyes as if he was ready to die.

"I didn't mean to kill you."

Jiang Chenchuan walked in front of him, squatted down, so that he could look at him at eye level, he had just observed this young man, there were many small healing scars on his body, it looked like an old wound, his clothes were thin, he couldn't resist the cold winter at a glance, it didn't look like he had a weapon hidden.

The most important thing is that he is small and thin, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to eat enough and is malnourished.

"I'm just wondering, what do you want from me?"

Jiang Chenchuan said sincerely, since the last time he came, he had paid attention to the investigation, and this time, the other party's goal was very clear.

Only him.

To attract such attention, there must be something worth the risk of three of them.

"You ......"

The young man looked at him stunned, as if he hadn't thought that he could talk to Jiang Chenchuan on an equal footing, only to hear a grunt, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he subconsciously covered his stomach.

"If you tell me honestly, I'll take you to dinner, I know a big brother who cooks very deliciously."

"Really...... Is it?"

The boy was a little incredulous, his face was full of surprise, like a deer that had been injured before, with a pitiful and wary look.

"Really."

Jiang Chenchuan patiently made a promise.

The street lamps on the side of the street are lit up, adding a bit of warmth to the dark and cold world, and the candy house opposite is still open, with six-colored lights, which seems to have some more childlike fun and beauty.

"I want to find ...... Family Badge ......"

"Family crest?"

Jiang Chenchuan thought about it, there didn't seem to be any badges stored on his body, even things he didn't know about, no wonder he came and went, but he still didn't find it.

The truth of the intruder was revealed, Jiang Chenchuan stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pull him up, the young man seemed a little scared, but he was sure that he would not be hurt, so he timidly stretched out his hand.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chenchuan grabbed another coat on the sofa and walked out the door.

"You...... Where are you going?"

Jiang Chenchuan turned around, beckoned and said:

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
