Chapter 73: Katsushika Hokusai's octopus painting

Qin Lingxue and Sayoko walked through the corridor of the passenger ship. The hallway was covered with a thick carpet, and the crystal lamps in the hallway shone brightly. The freshly decorated Christmas decorations add to the festive atmosphere of this luxurious passenger ship.

"It's extravagant." Sayoko chattered.

"Normal level," Qin Lingxue, who was from a big family, knew more, "Then, you should have realized that the ages shown on our character profiles are 17 and 18 years old......"

"High School Students...... That's nice. Sayoko had a nostalgic expression.

"yes, that's nice." Qin Lingxue also sighed.

Two girls pass by two crew members carrying Christmas trees and come to a communal cabin. Two middle-aged men are talking about business here.

"The painting on this wall seems—" Sayoko noticed that a strange ukiyo-e painting hung on the wall of the cabin, depicting a strangely shaped octopus entangled with a woman, "this is Katsushika Hokusai's...... Wait, the real thing?! ”

"It's the real thing." Qin Lingxue took a closer look at the words drawn.

"They actually hang the real thing here?"

"It's Haneda Group that shows its own heritage through this way of displaying the master's true works in the cabin," Qin Lingxue said calmly, "Normal operation, normal operation." Hmm, where did we just go? ”

"Identity. We are now ...... Or rather, the people we 'substitute'...... It's an ordinary high school girl. ”

"I don't know if it's ordinary. As far as the information I was able to search just now, Ding Xingwang, a member of the Haneda family," Qin Lingxue said, raising the documents in his hand, "My credit rating is 75%, maybe I belong to the core members of the family, and looking at your credit rating, it is a side line, not a member of the family at all." ”

"I really want to be the eldest lady again......" Sayoko looked a little weak, she was very happy to be able to turn back into JK, but why was it always Qin Lingxue who was lucky?

"Compared to these, I'm more concerned about why 'Haneda Yuki' and 'Haneda Sayoko', who have a huge difference in status, live in the same room," Qin Lingxue frowned, "We ......"

The two walked past the steakhouse on the boat. This luxury liner has six different restaurants, the main dining room that can accommodate the whole ship at the same time, and the exhibition restaurant that allows people to wander among the artworks, and this high-end steakhouse is just one of the "ordinary" ones.

"Sister Xue." Xiao Yazi pulled Qin Lingxue, who was deep in thought.

"What?"

"Look there."

Following Sayoko's fingers, Qin Lingxue saw Chen Qiang, who was in a suit and leather shoes, sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant, feasting on a piece of well-cooked filet mignon.

Xiao Yazi and Qin Lingxue glanced at each other.

It seems that they don't have to make excuses to ask the waiter for someone......

……

Chen Qiang chewed his steak to his heart's content. He doesn't care if he orders a well-cooked steak or not, it's a dirt bun, it's delicious.

[Jon Chan listened to the 96/70 test and failed]

People came and went inside and outside the steakhouse, and the restaurant played the elegant music of Bandari, and Chen Qiang didn't hear the voices of the two women outside the door at all.

But with the "Eyes of the Secret Keeper", he can even see the so-called "dark dice" that players should not know. In the "original purpose" mode of this mod, except for Chen Qiang, everyone else will not see any dice results.

Listen to the verification ......

"Am I missing something?"

He raised his head vigilantly, but what he saw was not Qin Lingxue or Xiao Yezi, but a man in a police uniform.

This person is tall and thin, and his appearance is not very handsome, but he gives people a sense of down-to-earth. He had oriental yellow skin, but his hair was blonde, and he looked like a half-breed.

"Mr. Chen?" He asked politely.

"I am." Chen Qiang nodded.

At the door, Qin Lingxue and Xiao Yezi naturally saw this scene in their eyes.

"Hide." Qin Lingxue pulled Xiao Yezi. From their point of view, they could clearly see that the man had been sitting behind Chen Qiang, and suddenly got up and walked towards Chen Qiang.

[Haneda Sayoko stealth test 77/55 failed]

Sayoko suddenly felt a tingling pain in her calf, and accidentally kicked down the flower pot in the corner.

"Sir, take up a moment of your time," the policeman-looking man looked back with a serious expression, and suddenly looked back as if he was aware of it, "they ......"

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoyoko, come here," Chen Qiang said, swallowing the steak in his mouth, "Sir, this is my girlfriend Haneda Xue." ”

What about my introduction! Sayoko said in her heart.

She pressed her calf wrapped in white stockings,

Can't be wrong, my own "role", I don't know when I was injured. She had already found out when she went out, but at that time she felt that the pain was completely bearable......

"Kenhito Shimouesugi, the sergeant of the Haneda," the man bowed slightly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Haneda." Don't mind if I take up a little of your boyfriend's time, right? ”

"Can I sit here with my friends and listen?" Xiaoxue also bowed.

[Haneda Snow Charm Test 63/52 Failure]

Uesugi hesitated.

"But, Miss Haneda......"

"Let them stay here," Chen Qiang waved his hand, "Or is it because I did something that Mr. Policeman didn't want Xiaoxue to stay here?" ”

【Jon Chan Charismatic Test 9/36 Success】

"How so," Uesugi smiled, "sit down, Miss Haneda." And this ......"

"Sayoko Haneda." Sayoko hurriedly introduced herself.

【Jon Chan Psychological Examination 86/62 Failed】

[Haneda Yuki Psychology Test 58/39 failed]

Uesugi Kenhito frowned slightly.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of distinguished guests of the Haneda family on this voyage." Uesugi Kenhito said, looking at Sayoko.

Sayoko smiled.

And Chen Qiang, although he didn't notice the subtle change in Uesugi Kenhito's expression, the timing of the psychological test was enough for him to make some guesses.

"Do you know Sayoko?" Chen Qiang asked.

"This is the first time I've met with Miss Sayoko Haneda today," Kenhito Uesugi said, "but I also happen to have something to look for later." ”

"Is it convenient to make things clear at the same time?" Chen Qiang frowned.

[Jon Chan failed to persuade the test to 59/35]

"However, we also have a process...... "Uesugi Kenhito hesitated.

"If it's not a particularly important thing, it should be a face for our Haneda family." Xiaoxue said, picking up the red wine on the table and filling a glass for Uesugi Kenhito.

【Haneda Yuki convincing test 32/44 success】

"Well," Uesugi said helplessly, "Actually, this is strictly speaking. Also, I don't drink. ”

"Please." Chen Qiang was polite.

"Actually......"

Uesugi hesitated for a moment, then seemed to make up his mind.

“…… There was a theft on the cruise ship. Uesugi lowered his voice as he said this.

Here it comes!

It is the main line of the mod, the "hook" of the story!

Chen Qiang said in his heart.
