Love Apartment: Active Dali

Traveling through the cracks of time and space, Yu Nan and Holmes took their smart dolls and stepped into a futuristic toy store. When the store owner saw the limited edition AI dolls in their hands, he immediately came up to them and asked, "What's going on? Is there something wrong with this doll?"

Yu Nan smiled and shook his head: "It's not about the doll, we want to know some background information."

Holmes followed Yu Nan deeper into the store, and the two placed the doll on the table, hoping that the owner would remember the identity of the buyer.

The shop owner stood behind the virtual counter, pondered for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are really asking too much. I deal with countless smart dolls every day. This..."

Yu Nan understood the owner's distress and was thinking about how to ask the question when he suddenly noticed the holographic projection system in the store.

He walked up to the store owner and pointed at the projection: "Can you retrieve the surveillance footage from that time? We need to find out where he was."

Although Yu Nan was not a law enforcer, his high-tech equipment and Sherlock Holmes-like exotic outfit convinced the owner. He walked over to the computer, and the two of them stared at the screen intently.

Yu Nan glanced at Holmes and said softly, "Look carefully, I have no impression of his son."

Holmes nodded slightly, and the two of them stared at the picture.

Soon, they found the man who bought the doll. The shop owner saw them investigating the man and immediately recalled his characteristics.

He put down the surveillance footage: "I remember this person. He came with his girlfriend, but his girlfriend seemed very cold to him."

Yu Nan and Holmes exchanged glances and basically confirmed the situation: the boy was deeply in love with the girl and took her shopping frequently, but they eventually broke up.

"Alas, another unresolved emotional entanglement." Yu Nan said, picked up the doll and walked out of the store.

Lu Ziqiao also remembered the boy's appearance. The image kept echoing in his mind, as if he had seen it before.

Suddenly, Lu Ziqiao seemed to realize something and said to Yu Nan: "Although I don't know the details, I recognize that person."

Lu Ziqiao seldom goes out, so the possibility of him meeting people from the outside world is very slim, which makes Yu Nan a little confused.

Yu Nan looked at Lu Ziqiao and asked, "Who is he?"

"I've seen him in Xiao Hei's virtual laboratory. I think Xiao Hei might know him." Lu Ziqiao took out his cell phone.

However, Lu Ziqiao was unable to get through to Xiao Hei's encrypted communication, and then he remembered that Xiao Hei was participating in an interstellar competition outside.

Yu Nan knew it was not easy to contact Xiao Hei, so he waved to Lu Ziqiao.

"He will contact you when he comes back and we can talk in detail then." Yu Nan said helplessly.

There are no clues about the doll shop, so Yu Nan suggests returning to the apartment and integrating all the information.

Back at the apartment, Yu Nan sat on the sofa, rubbing the aching nerves in his brain.

He knew that he was involved in another tricky mystery. Xiao Hei was not at home and he could not be contacted.

This means that the clue has been interrupted. Lu Ziqiao looked at Yu Nan and suggested: "Xiao Hei will be back in about a week, you can wait for a while."

It was a matter of life and death, Yu Nan could not wait and waved goodbye to Lu Ziqiao.

Holmes lit up his electronic pipe and said with a wry smile, "You all don't have time, so it seems I have to find the answer."

After that, Holmes booked an interstellar flight to the planet where Xiao Hei was on the holographic terminal. He had to leave in the afternoon.

Only Blackie knows the truth, and Holmes must try to find him.

Lu Ziqiao provided Xiao Hei's quantum communication number and asked Holmes to go to Xiao Hei's city first and bring him back.

Yu Nan didn't need to go along, after all, he was just an assistant, the real investigator was Sherlock Holmes.

"What time is your flight?" Yu Nan turned and asked Holmes.

Holmes checked the interstellar flight schedule: "Two hours left. I have to go."

Originally, Yu Nan could have asked Zhang Wei to see him off, after all, Zhang Wei was also Holmes' assistant. Unfortunately, Zhang Wei had already returned to his room, claiming that he wanted to look up interstellar legal information.

Hu Yifei was giving a lecture and Zeng Xiaoxian had disappeared since early morning.

Now only Yu Nan was free, so he decided to send Holmes away.

Arriving at the interstellar transport station, Holmes smiled and said, "The people in your apartment are all outstanding, at least in my opinion."

Yu Nan waved his hand, started the interstellar car, and let Holmes sit in the passenger seat.

The two drove to the Starport, and Yu Nan reminded: "Xiao Hei is involved in black technology, so be careful when contacting him."

Although Yu Nan had reminded him, he knew that Holmes had extraordinary insight and Xiao Hei might not be his opponent.

Holmes nodded. “I hope I can set up a workstation next to Attorney Zhang Wei’s office when I return so we can take cases together.”

Holmes is good at detective work and Zhang Wei is proficient in interstellar law. The cooperation between the two is perfect.

Yu Nan looked at Holmes and smiled, "We're almost at the interstellar port, so I won't take you in."

After saying that, Yu Nan parked the car at the entrance of the interstellar port.

Holmes waved goodbye and walked into the starport alone.

After watching Holmes leave, Yu Nan stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

As soon as he got on the interstellar highway, Yu Nan's quantum communicator rang. Fortunately, he could answer the call directly in the car, so he answered it immediately.

The call was from Zhang Wei, who informed him that Zeng Xiaoxian had been acting on his own at home, apparently preparing for Hu Yifei's birthday.

Hearing this, Yu Nan immediately became alert...
