Chapter 7 As an Ordinary Citizen, when You Encounter Trouble, You Need To...
After Jason turned around, what caught his eye was the giant painting.
The windows opened as the curtains were drawn.
This giant oil painting was exposed to the sun just like that.
The sunlight makes this painting more colorful.
However, Jason did not pay attention to these.
He is more concerned with the content of the painting.
He remembered very clearly that the previous painting was of three hunters with four or five hounds returning from hunting, looking downcast because of the scarcity of prey, but it has remained largely unchanged now.
It's just that the eyes of one of the hunters seem to have changed.
And when Jason took a closer look, there were some subtle changes in the forest snow.
Rabbit footprints!
A bunch of rabbit footprints appeared next to the bushes.
Jason can be sure that just now, there is no such series of rabbit footprints.
And the eyes of this hunter!
Also different.
The other side is staring at the rabbit's footprints!
When did the change happen?
Jason stepped back and looked at the whole.
When he saw the open window and the sunlight, he was suddenly stunned.
Special paint?
Jason encountered similar paints in 'The City That Never Sleeps'.
It's just that the paint disappears when heated.
It was made by a group of 'fraudsters'.
Of course, in the end, these 'fraudsters' became the laughing stock of 'The City That Never Sleeps'.
Because they actually counted on the borrowers of 'City That Never Sleep' to keep their promises.
"This is a secret pigment that manifests based on air movement and sunlight... It was also left to Hui Lijing by Hui Lixiang!"
Jason's gaze followed the hunter's gaze to the string of rabbit footprints, and then to the ceiling of the room.
There is no doubt that Hui Lijing left something for Hui Lixiang.
Because, except for Hui Lijing, it is impossible for anyone else to come in this room.
When Hui Lijing entered this room, her patience must have disappeared completely. Therefore, compared with the huge wealth that can be seen in the room, these things should be the top priority.
"What's wrong?"
Hui Lijing may be a late detective, but she is also a detective.
Jason's series of actions made her discover the difference.
"What should be there?"
Jason looked at the ceiling and gestured to Hui Lijing.
Since Hui Lixiang left it to Hui Lijing, he thought that if he wanted to take the item down, he should at least get Hui Lijing's consent.
"I come!"
Hui Lijing volunteered to move a chair in the room and stood up.
With a push of that corner of the ceiling, it opened.
Hui Lijing reached in and took down a tightly wrapped bag.
Said to be cysts, in fact, only the size of a palm.
The outer layer is wrapped with kraft paper layer by layer, and then wrapped with transparent tape several layers, obviously to prevent moisture and mildew.
Undoubtedly, Hui Lixiang knew her sister and made 'long-term preparations'.
In other words, she made preparations that Hui Lijing didn't find this place 'once'.
It was the preparation to be discovered when the house was 'completely cleaned'.
After all, a mercenary who dreams of being a barista but becomes a detective, who can expect more?
Without using any scissors, Hui Lijing began to tear the package with her hands.
Stab it!
The strong tape and kraft paper were torn open in a few strokes, revealing the small box inside.
The small box is like a small jewelry box.
After opening it, Hui Lijing was disappointed.
Because, there is no text information that can be seen directly.
All he has is a white business card and a photo.
Hui Lijing picked up the business card and read it out unconsciously.
"Master Tongshou Temple?"
The female boss obviously wondered why her sister would put such a business card on the ceiling so discreetly and secretly.
Jason squinted his eyes!
Master Tongshou Temple!
This was the second time he had heard the name or rather the name.
The first time was from Xiangcheng Ichiro. The other party said that it was "Master Tongshouji" who gave him guidance and let him come to the "Mask X Machete X Meat" office.
This time, it was Hui Lijing's missing sister, who left behind the name card of "Master Tongshou Temple".
Originally, Jason also divided the 'Aijo Ichiro's entrustment incident' and the 'Hui Lijing sister's disappearance incident' into two, and regarded it as the arrangement of 'self' before his arrival.
However, now it seems that they can be combined into one.
But this did not make Jason have any joy.
It seems that more time is left, but in fact more useful information is reduced.
and……
When everything pointed to this 'Master Tong Shou Temple', Jason's already vigilant heart became more and more cautious.
The other party can't wait to lead him there, and it's probably a trap.
Even if it is not a trap, it has some ulterior purpose.
"You know this man?"
Seeing Jason's contemplative appearance, Hui Lijing asked.
"I heard it once."
"Previously, Ichiro Aijo said that he came to me for exorcism after the other party's instructions."
"And...he died."
Jason replied.
Such an answer seems a bit funny, but Hui Lijing frowned.
"With my detective intuition, there must be something wrong here!"
Hui Lijing said firmly.
Facing such determination, Jason almost rolled his eyes.
It is a person who can see that there is a problem in it.
"Detectives talk about evidence, not intuition."
"You're not a psychic!"
Jason corrected.
When Jason's voice fell, Hui Lijing stared at Jason and looked at him again.
This kind of scrutiny is different from the previous appearance.
It's a kind of measure that wants to see through a person's heart.
It's a pity that what Hui Lijing saw was a tall, strong body and a rough and frightening face.
After a full four or five seconds, the female boss spoke again.
"You're also a detective, right?"
"Relying on his extraordinary powers of observation, he disguised himself as an exorcist, and then solved various cases of being disguised as 'yokai' and 'evil spirits'."
"No wonder you're taller and stronger than the instructors in my previous camp."
The female boss swore to the conclusion.
Is there any necessary connection between a detective and being tall and strong?
Shouldn't detectives use their brains?
Jason wanted to ask the other party like this, but he was too lazy to explain.
He didn't think it was necessary.
Seeing is believing, hearing is false.
When the other party sees it, it will be far better than his thousand words.
Jason's silence made the female boss misunderstood.
"I've heard of a detective disguised as a psychic before. He was chasing the murderer because his wife and children were killed... How about you?"
Hui Lijing looked at Jason with flickering eyes, as if she wanted to dig out some secrets.
Those twinkling eyes were filled with curiosity as well as pity and sympathy.
No need to ask, Jason also knows that in Hui Lijing's mind, he has added a big drama of life and death to him.
"I am the exorcist."
"not married."
"no kids."
Jason had to say.
"What about cats and dogs? What about pets?"
Hui Lijing asked reluctantly.
And this kind of questioning made Jason think of Denise subconsciously. 315 Chinese Network
What is that guy doing now?
It must be on the sofa or bed!
Then, Jason came to the answer right away. When he thought of Denise lying on his side reading a book, half of his body was paralyzed and he had to turn around, but because of cramps, he shouted for help, and the corners of Jason's mouth couldn't help. A twist.
But immediately, Jason's expression became solemn.
Except for the 'Table Manners' dungeon, all dungeons cannot be returned.
What exactly happened?
Jason's expression changed, Hui Lijing saw it.
"I've had dogs before..."
"Not a dog."
"It's Erha."
Jason emphasized.
"Isn't Erha a dog?"
Hui Lijing was taken aback for a moment, but then she didn't say anything.
Obviously, Jason has long regarded that Erha as a family member.
At this time, it is inappropriate to emphasize the words of dogs.
Therefore, Hui Lijing immediately changed the subject.
She picked up another item in the box.
that photo.
The photo is a group photo of two girls, about nine or ten years old, wearing the same plaid skirt, standing side by side, showing a happy smile, it is worth mentioning that one of the girls is a head taller than the other.
Even though the photo is in black and white, the colors brighten with the innocent, sweet smiles of the two girls.
"That's the only photo I have with that guy."
"At that time, I ran behind her ass every day."
"Although I'm a little taller, every time something happens, it's her who protects me - we were in the country at the time, and some kiddies really hated me, just because I'm tall, they hit me with cow dung , and call me Bachi-sama!"
"I'm still shakuhachi, E goes forward, Hasa!"
Hui Lijing made an appearance of waving a long knife and charging forward.
Jason ignored Hui Lijing, but looked at the photo carefully.
He hoped to find some possible clues.
But this black and white photo has been stored for more than ten years. Even if the owner carefully protects it, it still turns yellow. In addition, the printing technology at that time is obviously backward, except for the two little girls, there is nothing else to see.
Jason, who had no harvest, returned the photo to Hui Lijing.
Hui Lijing carefully placed the photo, then closed the window of the room, pulled the curtains, then simply cleaned up the room, then turned to Jason, and said, "Let's go."
"Where?"
Jason asked knowingly.
Photos Huilijing are stored close to the body.
Hui Lijing was holding that business card in her hand.
It is obvious at a glance what the female boss is thinking.
"Of course I'm going to find this 'Master Tongshou Temple'!"
"His so many secrets, as long as he is found, everything will be clear!"
"If he's really involved in my sister's disappearance, I'll give him a trip to hell!"
After Hui Lijing finished speaking very seriously, she looked down at the business card.
"Is it next to Tongshoucho Elementary School?"
"It's in the Silver-09 block."
"If you take a taxi, you can get there in an hour."
Hui Lijing said to herself, she was about to act.
But when Hui Lijing took two steps, she realized that Jason hadn't moved.
She looked at Jason puzzled.
The clues have been found, why not act?
Jason said solemnly.
"As an ordinary citizen, what should I do when I encounter such a thing?"
ordinary citizen?
Hui Lijing looked at Jason and couldn't help but pursed her lips.
She didn't know what Jason wanted to do.
"Borrow your phone."
Jason walked downstairs.
He remembered an old landline at the bar.
Unexplained Hui Lijing followed behind, and saw Jason took out a business card and called according to the number reserved on it.
"Is it Officer Ryosuke?"
"I have some discoveries here."
"Um."
"It has something to do with the death of Ichiro Aichiro. He said that he was introduced to me by 'Master Tongshouji'... Well, of course it's not a suspicion, it's just a clue."
"Okay, bye."
Seeing Jason's expressionless face, but talking on the phone in a rich tone, Hui Lijing couldn't get back to her senses at all.
Until Jason hung up the phone, Hui Lijing remained stunned.
"you you……"
"Call the police!"
"As a good citizen, you must call the police when you encounter trouble!"
Jason answered.
"But, but... you're a detective!"
Hui Lijing asked back.
In her knowledge, detectives have never been liked by the police.
"It's because of guys like you that detectives are always disliked by the police."
"Why not cooperate?"
"I know a person who cooperated with the police quite well, and was even regarded as a savior."
Jason walked to his TV and radio as he spoke.
And Hui Lijing was completely attracted attention.
Detective being treated as a savior by the police?
how can that be?
How incompetent are those cops to see detectives as saviors?
Subconsciously, she wanted to ask.
Jason picked up the TV and radio and walked out of the cafe.
But how could Hui Lijing, whose curiosity has been hooked, give up.
"Wait for me!"
"Who is that detective you speak of?"
"To this extent, must be famous, right?"
"Why haven't I heard of it?"
"You're not bluffing me, are you?"
Hui Lijing, who followed Jason, kept asking questions.
Then, in order to get the answer, he took two quick steps attentively and opened the door of Jason's room with the spare key.
"Your signboard is too simple, isn't it?"
"Just stick a piece of paper?"
"At least it should be replaced with a wooden one!"
Hui Lijing looked at the A4 paper attached to the back of the house number and couldn't help saying.
"Just be useful."
Jason replied, and walked in with the TV and radio in his arms.
And Hui Lijing, who followed Jason, stopped in the corridor.
"No slippers?"
Hui Lijing asked.
"Not used to it."
Jason said casually, ignored Hui Lijing, and began to put the TV and radio on the desk, one on the side, the wide desk suddenly seemed a little narrow after putting a TV and radio.
Still, it's enough.
After plugging in the radio again, and after some debugging, Jason was ready to turn on the TV.
But just as Jason was about to poke at the TV's power supply—
click!
Swish!
The TV turned on itself.
A large snowflake filled the TV screen.
Gradually, the snowflakes disappeared.
What appears is...
a well.
