Chapter 14: The One Who Is Not 'Hidden' (Two Chapters in One)

"You said the young man disappeared in the car, when did you say it happened?"

Horikawa Natsue is holding a pen and recording information in a notebook.

Just now, she received a call from the police station, and the driver claimed that the passengers in the car were missing..........

Because the place of disappearance was too close to her location, Horikawa Natsue asked his subordinates to go back to the police station first and come to the scene of the crime to make a record. After all, there have been a lot of such things recently, and there are almost no more people in the police station, and the people who call the police are all making notes outside.

"Just half an hour ago, maybe less than a little, maybe twenty minutes............" The silver-haired driver touched his head, trying to recall the details, but unfortunately, after all, he was a little older, he could only remember the most profound points: "That young man has a good appearance, he is about twenty years old, he still looks like a student, well, his accent doesn't seem to be Sakura people........."

The silver-haired driver was slightly hesitant and uncertain as he narrated.

Since the establishment of the Human Alliance by Starfish, the languages spoken all over the world are the Alliance languages, and the former Sakura language, Baita language, Guxia language and other languages have all been reduced to 'small languages'.

He wanted to guess the other party's hometown from the accent, so naturally he couldn't grasp it.

"A young man with a good appearance, probably less than twenty years old.........." When Horikawa Natsue remembered the record, he couldn't help but feel a young figure in his heart, after all, the other party left a deep impression on her, and in the short term, she should not be able to forget that person.

"Any more information?" Natsue Horikawa asked.

"No, if it weren't for the recent company request, I wouldn't have called the police........." the silver-haired driver said helplessly.

Recently, not only the police department has issued relevant tasks, but even their rental company, Kyoto Wireless Company, has issued a request to report to the police station immediately if they find that a passenger is missing.......... I heard that MK Company, a leader in the industry, is even more excessive than them, even if a passenger disappears after getting off the bus, someone reports the case and verifies it, and they are asked to actively cooperate with the police investigation.

In such a situation, almost any missing person can be found missing and report to the police at the first time.

Because of this, the urban legend of 'Shingaku' has become a hot topic in the world of taxi drivers, and it is necessary to chat with passengers when they get on the bus.

"Your dash cam, show me."

Horikawa Natsue closed the note and commanded.

She plans to use her personal bracelet to send the other party's driving video to the police station, so that the police station can use facial recognition technology to confirm the identity of the missing person from the video, and then report it to the 'Oath Wings' - a direct department under the Human Alliance, that is, where her sister works.

On the contrary, the police headquarters, as the daily security force that maintains the Sakura area, does not have the authority to deal with incidents.

"Okay........" The silver-haired driver immediately agreed, and before he could sit back in the car, suddenly, the silver-haired driver's eyes straightened, pointing to the back of Horikawa Natsue, and his expression was like a ghost: "He......... He's back, the missing youth. ”

"Huh........ Oops?! Horikawa Natsue subconsciously turned around, and saw a familiar figure, only to see that the Guxia young man who impressed her was holding a bag of bread, nibbling on bread, and holding a milk bag in his mouth.

Looking like he had just come out of the convenience store, watching the other party eat, Horikawa Natsue remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner, and for a while, his lower abdomen seemed to be faintly rattling, and he was a little hungry.

"You, aren't you missing?"

The silver-haired driver subconsciously took the initiative to ask him.

"Huh? I....... When was I missing? Su Shi's face was dazed, chewing bread: "I see that the traffic jam has been too long, and my stomach is so hungry that I don't plan to go back by car, anyway, it's not a very far walk to Nara Airport.........."

"So I got out of the car and ran to buy something to eat and fill my stomach."

As he spoke, Su Shi patted his head, a little suddenly:

"Ah, forgot to pay your starting price.........."

"Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to run away from the fare! ”

After explaining, Su Shi hurriedly swallowed the bread and stepped forward to pay the driver with the bracelet, and next to him, Horikawa Natsue looked at him suspiciously for a while, looking him up and down.

Suddenly, Horikawa Natsue spoke, "The Sakura convenience store closest to the intersection is very delicious. You shouldn't buy a milk bag, you should try their special box milk. ”

“....... Hey? ”

Su Shi looked at her in surprise, as if subconsciously said, "Sakura convenience store? But, but on the way I came, there was only one 'Lawson' chain convenience store, which was the convenience store that was linked to "Azure Lane", wearing a blue and white striped clerk uniform! ”

"I don't seem to see any other doors other than that."

"Is it because I'm coming from the right? Are you talking about the shop door on the left street? Su Shi's tone was puzzled.

"Azure Lane" is a best-selling mobile game in Sakura Country, but the origin is the ancient Xia country, which is a foreign game, thanks to this, the ancient Xia people have a deep impression of "Azure Lane".

In addition, the chain convenience store of the Lawson brand has been linked with "Azure Lane", and has also opened branches in Guxia China, so Guxia people are still quite familiar with Lawson convenience stores.

It's not surprising that this young man from Guxia can remember the sign 'Lawson', or rather, this is her real motive, using her familiarity with the street to test the other party's reaction.

In this area, there is no Sakura convenience store in her mouth, and what she said just now was completely a temptation.

Test if the other person is lying.

After all, if it was a Guxia person, he must not know much about the shops on the street, so he could only answer truthfully.

It's always impossible, the other party can remember the location of each store at a glance, right? Horikawa Natsue subconsciously shook his head, how is this possible? Even if the other party showed that he knew the neighborhood of Nagasaki Town when he wrote the previous record, it did not mean that he could remember every shop on the street.

These two are not the same difficulty, and the other party is not Sakura people........... Thinking of this, Horikawa Natsue completely ruled out the suspicion of the young man, and did not think that he would be a missing person.

"I'm sorry, maybe I'm mistaken." Horikawa Natsue stroked the sideburns in his ear and explained with a smile.

The drizzle wet her hairline, sticking to her fair skin, adding a touch of charm, this scene, made the silver-haired driver next to her stunned for a few seconds, and after coming back to his senses, he shouted, 'The young man is really amazing now', and then turned back into the car, leaving space for the two of them.

The beauty with the drizzle, in the cherry blossom country with the culture of mourning, it is indeed a moving scene.

It's a pity that her lower abdomen is not very cooperative, and she 'cooed' twice slightly, which made Horikawa Natsue's expression freeze.

"Haven't eaten yet, have you? I have too much bread to eat, so I've given it all to you. Su Shi didn't care about the other party's reaction, and stuffed the bread bag in his arms directly to the other party.

Then, as if not giving the other party a chance to refuse, he got into the taxi directly and urged the driver to drive away.

Horikawa Natsue hesitated for a few seconds, and finally, the strange feeling in her lower abdomen made her resist the idea of chasing after her to return the bread, and watched the other party leave, Horikawa Natsue picked up the bread in the paper bag and took a bite gently, with a look of satisfaction on her pretty face.

In the taxi, Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he would not be suspected of being a 'missing person'.

These are all deliberate actions on his part, mainly to wash away the suspicions on his body, including, in the end, his seemingly intimate stuffing of bread, turning around and leaving in the car, is also to cover his retreat........... Otherwise, why would he buy a big bag of bread?

Pretending to go to a convenience store and buying a milk bag is enough.

Get!

Su Shi let go of his heartstrings and washed away the suspicion of missing people on his body, which was the final decision he made after thinking about it.

After obtaining the identity of the dependent, coupled with the explanation of the twilight space, Su Shi had a faint guess about the real world in his heart, and Horikawa Natsue's actions allowed him to verify this conjecture.

If the speculation is true, the internal ........... of the Human Alliance I'm afraid that I have a certain understanding of the group of dependents.

Even, they took the initiative to lock the identities of their dependents, this matter, I don't know whether it is good or bad, after all, Su Shi has very little information in his hands, and after he returns to the real world, he can't contact 'Yinli' for the time being, and he can't get the news from the mouth of the cat-eared girl.

Assuming the Human Federation, it was really as he guessed.

In any case, it will not be wrong to hide the identity of your dependents first and wait and see what happens.

Taking a step back, even if he had to reveal his identity as a dependent, Su Shi wanted to return to the land of Gu Xia, at least, it was better to reveal his identity in his familiar homeland than to be in an overseas region - even if the world was the same, and the major regions were under the management of the Human Alliance.

"Concealing the identity of the dependent, there will be no mistakes.........."

"Gather external information first, and wait until the real-world situation is confirmed, and then I will decide whether to contact official sources."

Su Shi thought silently, and the next moment, he leaned back in his chair and completely relieved.

When he returned to the Slow House Hotel in Nara, he and his classmates would be able to get together and have a good rest.

...................

At the same time,

Horikawa Natsue finished taking notes and was about to return to the police station when suddenly, a black sedan came speeding next to her, parked next to her, and the window was slowly rolled down, revealing a more mature face that was six points similar to her.

"Xia Jiang, how many cases of missing people are there today?"

A graceful woman with a similar appearance to her, leaning against the car window, staring at her sister with a pair of beautiful eyes like Carslan.

"Thirteen cases, a big increase from yesterday." Horikawa Natsue was a little impatient, turned his head slightly, and looked at the street on the other side.

"Oh, don't treat your sister so indifferently." The graceful woman complained: "When I was a child, I still held you to change diapers..........."

"Kamiyin!"

Horikawa Natsue couldn't stand the other party talking about this kind of thing on the street, and his pretty face was so angry that he could only interrupt the other party.

At the same time, she couldn't open her mouth to scold, so she could only change the topic: "Are you coming to me for these little things?" ”

"It's no small feat." Horikawa Kakine leaned against the car window, and his tone was inexplicable.

For some reason, Horikawa Natsue felt that his sister's gaze was a little strange, and she always swept to the back of her hand at every turn........

However, when Horikawa Natsue's eyes were cast, he found that the back of his sister's hand was clean, and it didn't look like it was dirty, which was really strange, what was there to look at on the back of his hand?

Hmph, narcissistic ghost......... Horikawa Natsue muttered inwardly, but she didn't dare to show it.

You know, this sister's personality is quite bad, if she finds out her disrespect, there must be all kinds of tricks, waiting for her ahead.......... This, as a younger sister who has been bullied by her since she was a child, Horikawa Natsue has a deep understanding of this.

"You're speaking ill of me."

"Nope!"

Horikawa Kamion sighed, this sister seems so upright even if she lies.

Without dwelling on it, Horikawa Kakine's topic changed, and he suddenly said: "Earlier, I saw you chatting with another good-looking young man, and they talked for a long time, is he a 'missing person'?" ”

"It's not!" Horikawa Natsue shook his head, and his tone was firm: "He is not a missing person, I can be 100% sure of this, and besides, he is still an ancient Xia person, he should have come to travel, oh yes, this season is also a time for study trips." ”

Speaking of this, Horikawa Natsue seemed to react, like a fried kitten: "You....... Are you spying on me in front of you? ”

"I just don't want to bother you, after all, Xiao Xia Jiang has also grown up.........."

Horikawa Kamine also ignored the other party's stubbornness, and in a semi-forced attitude, took the transcript from her sister's hand, and was about to roll up the car window, when suddenly, she noticed her sister's gaze - the other party was not staring at her hand note, but the badge at the car door.

It was a ring-shaped wing, with feathers on the periphery and vertical pupils in the center.

This is the pattern of the [Wings of Oath].

Seeing this, Horikawa Kamion sighed and persuaded, "Xia Jiang, the work in [Wings of Oath] may not be as good as you imagined, and it .......... There's a lot to do to work here. ”

"More than you think."

Horikawa Natsue pursed her lips, looking like she wasn't going to speak, seeing this, Horikawa Kamion stopped persuading, looked down at the back of her hand, and the next moment, she said to herself: "Forget it, I have to spend the remaining half a month." ”

The windows slowly rolled up, and the black sedan sped away, leaving only Horikawa Natsue staring at the car in a daze.

At this moment, her mind was full of her sister's actions of bowing her head and looking at the back of her hand, as well as the other party's meaningful sentence of 'half a month' at the end, these clues crossed her mind like thunder and lightning, making her faintly guess the 'truth'-

"The original ........"

"There are so many paid holidays in [Wings of Oath]!"
