Judging by this invitation message, this commemoration of the Detective Guild is very special.

Invited detectives will gather at the inland ports of District 23.

Take a cruise ship called "Titanic" to the sea.

Within the boundaries of the Federation, there are several vast inland seas.

There are also a variety of small islands in the inland sea, most of which are uninhabited.

Therefore, the rich also like to travel on cruise ships, and on a whim they will run to uninhabited islands to take a walk or something.

And this time the "Requiem for Detectives" planned by the Detectives Association.

It is a luxurious event that combines a mystery theater and a sea tour.

Judging from the itinerary, this inland sea luxury cruise ship will be on the sea for a full week.

And every day there will be a variety of reasoning dinners, with someone to play the murderer and simulate a real case.

The invited detectives will deduce on the spot under the eyes of the guests to find out the real culprit hidden among the guests.

I have to say that such a small theater of reasoning is really ...... in Jiang Chen's opinion Immature.

After all, he's a real detective.

I don't know how many times I went to the scene of the real murder.

A small theater of simulated reasoning like this is simply lackluster in Jiang Chen's opinion, and it is not real at all.

But how to say it? It's okay to pass the time once in a while.

Anyway, I'm going to go out to avoid the limelight now, so I might as well go on a trip to the sea.

Judging from the text messages, this time the Detective Association has prepared a very luxurious large cruise ship, the kind that can carry thousands of passengers.

Imagine standing on the deck of a luxurious cruise ship with a cocktail in hand and feeling the sea breeze.

Not far away, elaborate food is placed, bands play leisurely soft music, and beautiful women in swimsuits twist their waists and walk around.

…… It's up to you to take part in this event.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen was ready to reply to the message, saying that he was willing to participate.

But just as he was typing, a phone call came straight in.

This call...... President Poirot called?

Although Jiang Chen didn't have a good impression of that detective association, he still found it quite interesting to this Poirot president.

He looked short and stocky, with a proud mustache, and always wore a fancy suit and polished his leather shoes.

It is said that the current president of the Detective Guild was previously a senior sheriff in the Sheriff's Bureau.

Because he wanted to revive the old profession of detective, he took over the position of president after retirement.

So after Jiang Chen connected the phone, there was a wonderful accent that sounded very medieval.

"Oh, thank goodness my dear Detective Jiang for finally getting in touch with you."

“…… Hello, President Poirot. ”

When he heard the strange accent and subtle translation on the phone, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth couldn't help twitching.

"By the way, the staff of our association should have sent the content of the event in three days to your communicator, what do you think?"

President Poirot's tone on the other end of the phone was very eager, obviously hoping that Jiang Chen would agree to this invitation.

So much so that after the staff texted over, Poirot had to call in person to ask.

The first president of the hall came to inquire in person, which can be regarded as a great face-saving for Jiang Chen.

Since President Poirot has given face like this, Jiang Chen is embarrassed to refuse.

What's more, he had planned to find a secluded place to avoid the limelight, so he agreed on the spot.

"This event is so interesting, how can I not participate in it, let alone President Poirot's kind invitation, then I can't refuse."

When Jiang Chen's words were heard, President Poirot over there obviously let out a shout of joy.

"Oh my God, that's amazing! What a surprise! My Aunt Christie will surely jump for joy. ”

…… What's the matter with your aunt?

After a few more words of greeting with President Poirot, Jiang Chen hung up the phone, and then packed his luggage and prepared to leave tomorrow.

Although the inland sea cruise will not officially start until three days later.

But before that, Jiang Chen still had to rush to the port city of the 23rd district.

He planned to drive the car all the way leisurely.

While enjoying the scenery along the way, you can relax and practice along the way.

And on this trip, he doesn't plan to take anyone with him, and he doesn't plan to tell anyone.

Even Sister Rin Hua and the Su family sisters would not know where Jiang Chen went.

Since it is to be low-key, it is natural to be low-key to the end, so as to achieve the effect.

In this way, Jiang Chen prepared to go to the 23rd district that night to participate in this cruise reasoning activity.

But at about the same time, in the top conference room of the "Tianwaitian Restaurant" in the 31st district.

Crystal glass lamps hanging from the ceiling glow brightly, and an ebony bench table below is a sign of prestige.

Twenty or thirty people were now seated on either side of the long table.

These people are men and women, old and young.

However, the unifying point is that they all exude a sharp aura that is different from ordinary people.

Obviously, they are by no means human, and they have a life that is completely different from ordinary people.

Of course, this is actually the case, after all, this is the Inhuman branch of the "Heavenly Dao Alliance" in the 31st District.

Almost all of the people who can sit at this table for a meeting now are the elites of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

And the person in charge of presiding over this meeting was the short and fat Director Cheng before.

Director Cheng sat at the top of the table, and a young lady sat alone outside the table.

The lady in the golden white slim dress could put a lot of pressure on the people around her just by sitting with her head bowed and facing that side.

So much so that the vast majority of people present, including Director Cheng, did not dare to look directly at this lady, so as not to cause her unhappiness.

Although she is young, this lady does have the capital to be revered by everyone.

Because she is one of the legendary twelve saints of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the holder of the "White Tiger Seal", Shen Yunyi.

Is this the legendary White Tiger Heavenly Sage...... This aura is like an extremely sharp sword.

Because of Shen Yunyi sitting next to him, Director Cheng became a little stumbling when he spoke.

The white tiger belongs to gold, and among the five elements, the metal phase is the sharpest and the most aggressive.

So much so that Shen Yunyi just sat there, which made everyone tremble faintly.

But even so, the meeting that should have been held still had to be held.

Ahem, after clearing his throat, Director Cheng said to everyone:

"Have all the people involved in last night's mask fragment incident been investigated?"

"Investigate."

One of the young and beautiful female secretaries stood up and said:

Among the main people involved are B-class apostles from the "Black Mist Diver", Shui Linglong, Luo Sheng, Mao Rong, and two forces from the ninth and tenth districts. ”

"Districts 9 and 10? What kind of forces are there? ”

According to the investigation, it is a force called "Tianmu Logistics" and "Silent Lambs Detective Agency", and the main people are Yongji and Jiang Chen. ”

…… What?

At the moment when the female secretary said the word Jiang Chen, Shen Yunyi, who was sitting there and dozing off, suddenly opened her eyes.

Although Shen Yunyi sat there just now, ostensibly bowing his head and listening.

But in fact, this White Tiger Heavenly Saint is ...... Doze off.

Hiss...... Call...... Hiss...... Call.

Because I played an online game all night, I just ordered a few takeaways and had a cool relationship.

When he was called over for a meeting, Shen Yunyi was already a little dazed, just holding on to his majesty as a saint.

Sick of it...... What kind of meeting, babbling a lot of useless things.

With such a mentality, Shen Yunyi naturally didn't listen to a word of what was said at the meeting.

But the moment she heard the word "Jiang Chen", she raised her head suddenly.

That action, which looked like a tiger descending the mountain, frightened everyone present.

Looking at Lord Shen, who suddenly raised his head, Director Cheng immediately wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked tremblingly:

"Lord Shen? Excuse me...... What are your thoughts? ”

"Which Jiang Chen is that Jiang Chen you just said? Jiang Chen? Jiangcheng? Or ginger dust? ”

At this time, Shen Yunyi looked at the female secretary who was reporting just now and seemed to be a little weak-footed, and asked in a serious tone.

When questioned by the White Tiger Heavenly Sage, the female secretary's slender legs wrapped in black stockings trembled slightly.

But he still said very professionally:

"Ginger dust, ginger onion and garlic ginger, dusty dust."

"That one named Jiang Chen, is it a man?"

"The ...... Male indeed. ”

"Living in the Ninth Arrondissement?"

"Judging by the intelligence, it's a native resident of District 9."

"And what about his family?"

"It seems that he was born as an orphan and lived in an orphanage since he was a child."

“…… I see. ”

After these few words, Shen Yunyi stood up from the chair and walked out without looking back.

By the time she pushed open the door to the conference room and left, the air around the long table had finally calmed down.

Call...... Director Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked in a low voice:

"What did Lord Shen mean just now? She seemed to be paying close attention to the guy named Jiang Chen. ”

Shen Yunyi's special attention to Jiang Chen can basically be detected by individuals.

So immediately a stranger speculated:

"Do you mean...... What did that guy named Jiang Chen have with Lord Shen? ”

"Holidays? No way? Lord Shen was the youngest saint in the past hundred years since he resonated with the Heavenly Dao Seal at the age of twelve. ”

"That's right, Lord Shen, who appeared yesterday, was killed with a sword, and no one even went to the scene, what a divine power this is."

"Is that Jiang Chen a big man? He also deserves to have a holiday with Lord Shen? ”

For a while, the strangers in the Heavenly Dao Alliance branch began to discuss "what kind of thing is Jiang Chen".

However, during the conversation, they didn't seem to believe that Jiang Chen would have anything to do with Lord Shen.

After all, an ordinary person who opened a detective agency in the ninth game.

The other is the White Tiger Heavenly Saint at the top of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

The two cannot be said to have nothing to do with each other, and it can only be said that the eight poles have nothing to do with each other.

However, just when this group of members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance was wondering.

Shen Yunyi returned to his room and lay down on the bed in a large shape.

Poof, her slim but quite tight, very healthy and professionally trained body collapsed on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Jiang Chen...... Jiang Chen...... Nerd, could it be you?

Thinking of this, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but turn his head to look at the bedside table next to the bed.

On the bedside table was an old picture frame with two small figures in the frame.

The picture frame is made of very delicate gilt material, 100% handmade.

Just because of the relationship that the owner takes it with him wherever he goes. Gold is already looking a little bleak.

She lay on the bed and stretched out her hand, held the picture frame in the palm of her hand, and looked at it with cherished eyes.

In the frame is an old photograph that looks so old that it is a little yellowed.

The content on the photo is the figure of two "little boys" hooking shoulders and backs.

The little boy on the left wears a sunhat, a band-aid on his face, and a sleeveless vest, and his smile shows his big teeth.

The little boy on the right looks much more sven, and his delicate face looks a little shy under the camera.

Judging from the photos, the two children should be seven or eight years old, and they seem to have a very good relationship.

Faintly, a building built in the suburbs can be seen in the background behind this photo.

At the door of this building, there is also a sign that reads "Wolong Orphanage".

...... It's really nostalgic, fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he saw this photo, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but think of the good years he spent there.

Although he has been away from the orphanage for many years, Shen Yunyi always can't forget the group of friends inside.

Xiaohua, Xiaolong, Xiaobai, Xiaolin...... And nerds.

Among the children in the orphanage, the nerd has always been the most mature one, so much so that it aroused the idea of a certain child king.

"Hey, nerd, why do you always hide and read, it's so boring to read, let's go out and play together."

“...... I'm not called a nerd, my name is Jiang Chen. ”

"Okay nerd, I'll take you as a junior brother, and you'll mess with me in the future, let's hang out together."

Although the nerd said that he prefers to read books rather than go out to play.

But apparently this remark could not convince the child king, so the nerd was still pulled out.

Just like that, the two became good friends.

The relationship lasted for three years, until the Child King was discovered by an alien from the "Heavenly Dao Alliance" and taken out of the orphanage, and the two broke off contact.

Unconsciously, the white horse passed by, and time flies.

Fifteen years passed in a flash, and Shen Yunyi also cut off the roots according to the master's instructions.

Concentrate on fulfilling his obligations as a White Tiger Heavenly Saint and save the common people from fire and water.

But today, she heard the familiar name unexpectedly, and it seemed that the person was also involved in the incident on this side.

Jiang Chen...... He shouldn't have been inscribed, and he wasn't an alien.

Since you're not an Inhuman, why did you get involved in an incident related to the "Black Mist Diver"?

Regarding the apostolic organization of "Black Mist Submarine", Shen Yunyi was too familiar.

After all...... Ahem, she killed many cadres in this organization not long ago, and they hate her now.

If that Jiang Chen is really the Jiang Chen I know, he provokes the "Black Mist Diver", and he will definitely be in big trouble.

Use one's noodle...... Otherwise, go to the nerd to catch up after a long absence? By the way, remind him?

Yes, that's right, I just wanted to remind him, and I definitely didn't mean to see him.

If I had anything else to say, I wouldn't be able to eat anything good for a week, and I would have to watch others eat it.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunyi nodded solemnly at the old gilt photo frame, but there was a rare girlish style in his eyes.

Shen Yunyi's personality is relatively straightforward, saying what he thinks, and doing what he thinks.

So in the early morning of the next day, she packed her luggage and said hello to the people of the "Outer Heaven Restaurant".

I ran to the airport to buy a ticket and get on the plane, and I rushed all the way to the ninth district.

Although every time I take a plane, Shen Yunyi thinks to himself, this thing flies much slower than me.

But because there was a rule in the "Heavenly Dao Alliance" that members were not allowed to fly around in the federal area, she still had no choice but to abide by it.

Speaking of which, when Shen Yunyi was studying art at the General Altar in the past, the rules he violated were simply too numerous to mention.

However, those accumulated military exploits were all before the succession of the "White Tiger Heavenly Sage".

Now that he is one of the twelve saints, he is watched with admiration wherever he goes.

She had no choice but to reluctantly disguise herself, trying not to do anything that violated the rules of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so as not to be poked in the back.

But even so, Shen Yunzi is still the same Shen Yunyi in his bones, and he is still the child king in the orphanage.

In this way, the slow, groggy flight that lasted for most of the day finally came to an end.

Shen Yunyi finally returned to the ninth district, where he had not returned for a long time, and stepped into this familiar and unfamiliar land.

"Ah...... Not. ”

When she walked outside the airport, the girl couldn't help but stretch.

Now the time has come to dusk, and the golden sunset is sprinkled, like a gorgeous carpet on the ground.

Silent Lambs Detective Agency...... Silent Lambs Detective Agency...... Found it, I guess it's here.

Just when night was about to fall, Shen Yunyi relied on his mobile phone navigation to find this "scrap street" and found the downstairs of the detective agency.

The floor structure of this commercial building is very rustic, and you have to follow the iron staircase on one side to get to the second floor.

Shen Yunyi walked up the stairs gently, and the more he walked forward, the more apprehensive he felt.

What to do? I'm actually a little nervous.

What should I say when I see him? Tell him directly that he was targeted by the "Black Mist Diver"?

But the master told me that you can't reveal your identity to mortals, and the closer the relationship, the worse it is.

The nerd was friends with me back then, so it should be a close relationship, and I can't reveal my identity in front of him.

But if you don't reveal your identity, how can you remind him?

For a while, Shen Yunyi seemed to feel a little lost.

But it didn't take long for her to look up and find herself standing at the door of the detective agency.

Goodo...... Anyway, let's talk to him first.

After secretly cheering himself up, Shen Yunyi finally knocked on the door of the detective agency.

Knock knock knock......

No response.

Knock knock......

Still no response.

There doesn't seem to be anyone in there? Jiang Chen, he went out?

Looking at the door that knocked on it and there was no response, Shen Yunyi thought with some wonder.

At this moment, an aunt came out of the "ripping bamboo café" downstairs.

This aunt is wearing a somewhat greasy maid outfit, with a curling iron, a square face, hanging eyes, and a nose facing the sky, which can be said to perfectly destroy all the man's yearning for maid clothes.

The aunt walked halfway up the stairs and shouted to Shen Yunyi above:

"Don't knock, Detective Jiang isn't here today."

"Huh? Is it? So where did he go, auntie? ”

"You want to know?"

The eldest aunt glanced at her and found that it was a beautiful girl, and then pouted.

"I want to know, auntie tell me, please."

"If you want to know, come to Auntie's café for a bite to eat, and Auntie will tell you."

"Eat? yes, I'm the best at this! ”

Seeing that he could know Jiang Chen's whereabouts when he went to eat, Shen Yunyi immediately ran downstairs and rushed into the "Bamboo Knock Café".
