Chapter 74: You can't be led by the nose by NPCs
γJon Chan Psychology Test 16/62 Successγ
Chen Qiang glanced at Xiaoxue and Xiaoyezi next to him, and found that the two girls were making eye contact.
Theft, you really didn't do it? - Suspicious Xiaoxue.
No! In case, even if it is, it's my character who did it before, what's the matter with me - Sayoko's heart.
"Can you tell me more about it?" Chen Qiang said calmly, shaking the wine glass in his hand. I don't know what the two girls are thinking, so I'll ask later.
"Before the ship sailed, when the ship was still parked at Hinamizawa Port, you had an antique business with Mr. Hiroyuki Imai."
"Go on." Chen Qiang held his cheeks.
"Mr. Hiroyuki Imai has acquired an antique from you," said Kenhito Uesugi, "and then boarded the Haneda with you and headed for Port Cassendra via Hawaii." This morning, Mr. Hiroyuki Imai returned from dining in the main dining room to find that the antiques in the room were missing. β
"I'm sorry, can I ask," Xiaoxue suddenly interjected, "What kind of antique is that?" β
"I don't know," Uesugi said, "that it's an ancient mirror from a ruined maritime civilization." Some say that it has something to do with the octopus in Katsushika Hokusai outside. β
Maritime civilizations? Octopus? Could it be that the mastermind behind this incident is......
No, that's not the case, the difficulty doesn't show as "variable".
"Huh!" A trace of coldness appeared on Chen Qiang's face, he had to investigate this case, but he couldn't be led by the nose by this NPC police officer, "If the transaction has been completed, it is your police's duty to recover the collection for Mr. Imai." I? Just a businessman. β
"That's what I said. But Mr. Hiroyuki Imai's temper ...... "Kenhito Uesugi tried to find an adjective," ...... In short, you know his temper. It's a bit rude, but I'll be straight to the point, Mr. Imai suspects that you are behind this. β
"So I received the money and want to get the goods back?" Chen Qiang cocked Erlang's legs, "Mr. Officer, do you think I'm someone who would do such a thing?" β
"Of course not!" Kenhito Uesugi said, "But for the current situation, I ask for your cooperation in the investigation." We have secured a suspect and are confident that your suspicion will be cleared soon. β
"Come to think of it, in the center of the Pacific Ocean, it is difficult for thieves or stolen goods to fly," Chen Qiang blinked, "Then, what are you looking for Sayoko?" β
"The suspect we controlled was a cleaning staff and cold storage porter on the ship, and it was the first time he had worked on this ship......
Chen Qiang didn't care when he heard the "cleaning staff", but the "cold storage porter" made him suddenly something.
"He was seen sneakily walking around Mr. Imai's room in the morning, and he said he had some friends on the boat," Uesugi continued, "one is Qin Lingxue and the other is Chen Qiang, but there is no one with the surname Qin on this ship, and the only one with the surname Chen is ......"
Chen Qiang: "......"
Xiaoxue: "......"
ββ¦β¦ and Sayoko Haneda," Kenhito Uesugi turned his head to look at Sayoko, who was pouring wine into his glass, "Also, Miss Sayoko Haneda, minors are not allowed to drink. β
"Last year's amendment to the law, the age of majority has been adjusted from 20 to 18 years old." Sayoko said.
[Haneda Sayoko's speech test failed 41/35]
"First of all, not last year; Second, the amendment will not take effect until a few years later, and Uesugi Kenhito is not fooled, "Finally, the word "minor" in the article on alcohol consumption will be changed to "under 20 years old", so don't think about getting by." β
"It's already the high seas here, Dongying's law or something......" Sayoko still wanted to struggle.
"I'm sorry," Uesugi Kenhito reached out and removed the wine glass from Sayoko's face, "at least in front of me, not like this." Juice and cola are also available for free. β
"Here, Sprite." Qin Lingxue, who had ordered a drink early, put the soda in front of Xiao Yazi.
Sayoko stared at the soda in front of her with "resentment" - even according to Dongying's law, Miss Ben's real age was an adult last year, okay? Turning back into JK, experiencing virtual reality games, and top-notch red wine are three happy things that overlap, but I can only ......
"The suspect who claims to know Sayoko, what's his name?" Chen Qiang brought the topic back on track.
Xu ...... Xu: What's coming? Oh, Xu Shu," Uesugi shrugged, "Sounds like a name in the Three Kingdoms, doesn't it?" β
"I still think your name looks like something from the Warring States of Toei." Sayoko complained.
"I don't hide it from you, although it is a side line, Uesugi Kenshin is impartial and impartial, and he is a contemptible ancestor." Uesugi Kenhito's expression remained unchanged.
Sayoko almost choked on Sprite.
"I know," Chen Qiang, who didn't know much about the Warring States of Dongying, spread his hands, "Anyway, Officer Uesugi, I will cooperate with the investigation...... Within your means. β
"Ahem...... Me too," Sayoko thought for a moment, "I have a little impression of this surname Xu, but I'm not familiar with it. Maybe when I see him, I'll remember. β
"So," Uesugi stood up, took out a business card, and wrote a list of addresses on it with a pencil, "tonight at nine o'clock, Mr. Chen, Miss Haneda, you come here to me." I'll take you to meet Mr. Imai and the suspect. β
"Not now?" Xiaoxue asked, taking a sip of the mango juice in her hand.
"We also need time to interrogate the suspect, and as for Mr. Imai, he is in a bad mood and plans to see the musical on the ship," said Kenhito Uesugi, "and he has to wait until late to find time." β
Chen Qiang's eyes gurgled, and a variety of possibilities instantly appeared in his heart.
"Alright," he smiled, "thank you, Officer Uesugi. β
β¦β¦
Chen Qiang smiled and watched Officer Uesugi leave.
"Sayoko, why did you kick the flower pot just now?" Qin Lingxue asked.
"My calf suddenly hurts," Sayoko was aggrieved, "Sister Xue, the state of my virtual body ......"
Was it a heavy fall, or a fight with someone, when I stayed in the room, my feelings were not obvious, and when I moved, there were several places in pain all over my body.
"What she said is true," Qin Lingxue said, "because of the injury." Me too. β
ββ¦β¦ Why," Chen Qiang was stunned, "It's only been a long time, and you've already had a fight with someone?" β
"No," Qin Lingxue said gently, "When I entered the game, this body was not intact. Sayoko found out a little slower than me, but was aware of it in the hallway at the latest. Hmm, we can't see our HP bar right now, but Sayoko and I should have a bit of a loss of HP right now. β
"That's really the case......" Sayoko's tone seemed to be talking to herself.
"Xiaoxue, be quiet," Chen Qiang reminded, "mentioning the game setting in front of NPCs will be punished." β
"Understood."
"Anyway, according to you, your characters have been through battles before they were replaced by you." Chen Qiang fell into deep thought.
