call--
Yana breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally said "Get in the car".
You don't have to be scolded anymore.
........
.....
Yanami sat in the back seat, wondering who the girl in the picture strung together with red string was. Or perhaps it would be better to ask... what kind of girl was worthy of Ukyo?
The muscles on both sides of his waist and abdomen were as hard as cement, and she felt very safe when holding them. The speed displayed on the dashboard was 70 miles per hour, and the night wind blew her long blue hair.
Sitting behind Ukyo felt like grasping at something dazzling that was beyond my reach.
"That's amazing, Ukyo."
It was just a simple sentence, and Ukyo didn't respond. He didn't understand why Yanami suddenly sighed, but he saw from the rearview mirror that Yanami's eyes were filled with tears.
The falling tears sparkled and flew away in the wind.
Yanami's profile still held a childish look. Not long ago, they hadn't exchanged a single word, yet now she was crying beside him. Reality drifted like fine sand, scattered by the wind at the ends of her dark blue hair.
"It turns out I was really dumped~"
Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Ukyo thought so, and Yanami answered as if she could read his mind.
"You must be wondering why it happened so suddenly, right?"
"Yes."
"How should I put it? The feeling is gradually spreading throughout my body."
"Spread throughout the body...?"
"As I sat in the car, the scenery flew by my eyes. I was thinking this as I watched, and then suddenly I knew I had really been dumped."
The crystal tears hanging on the eyelashes reflected the moonlight.
"Of course my head knows I've been dumped. But my body probably hasn't come to terms with it yet."
The engine of the Kawasaki H2R was so loud that it overtook the family sedan that was speeding past it.
"After Ukyo gets dumped hard once, he'll probably understand, right?"
"Ah..." He probably understands, Ukyo thought to himself, that feeling of losing something -
Nothing about the people and things around you will change, and you won't feel any better. Everyone avoids the topic, afraid that mentioning that name will upset you. Only close friends will openly mock you, repeatedly bringing up that name and lashing out at you, laughing at you for being an idiot. Like a demon.
But at this time, you will only like to talk to this person.
Ukyo seemed to understand all of a sudden why Yanami was going crazy in his chat box. It turned out that he was the sarcastic and mocking devil in her world after she broke up.
…
...
After saying this, Yanami suddenly let go of his hand and stretched vigorously against the wind. Ukyo slowed down, but Yanami felt that the car was going faster.
"But, everything around me will only keep moving forward, and I can only move forward with it." She said so...
Ukyo said, "I've never been dumped by a girl, so you might have found the wrong person to talk to."
"Oh~, that's not simple, it's a line from Playboy."
Ukyo was stunned, he never imagined that one day he would be labeled a playboy, which did not fit him at all.
Seeing Ukyo's slightly furrowed brows in the rearview mirror, Yana replied with a gentle smile.
The passage of time is fair to the defeated heroine. While the lovers accumulate bits and pieces of memories, her daily life continues.
Ukyo didn't speak again during the whole journey, as if the person in the back seat didn't exist. If it was any other high school driver with a beautiful girl on board, this would probably be the easiest time to win the girl's heart with just one sentence, but Ukyo didn't do that, because there was still the shadow of another person living in his heart. The strong wind in Yanami's ears was a new song that blew away the unpleasantness of a broken heart, but for him... the wind was like a tide that was about to drown him. There was someone in the tide looking at his back, and her gaze was like a tide.
Ukyo laughed silently.
......
"Here we are."
He parked the car.
On the side of the two people is an old-style B&B.
"I hope your decision to get on the bus wasn't impulsive. Yanai, if you regret it, you can go somewhere else along the way. There are more than one B&B nearby, but you have to go by yourself. I can't give you a ride."
Volume 18: Chapter The Biggest Cake of the Summer
Yanaijian: “?”
Acting impulsively?
She must have run out in a fit of rage!
You only give five minutes to think, who has the energy to think carefully?
Come here.
"Takatsu Juri, female, 24 years old, medium to tall build, thin, long burgundy hair, was wearing a two-dimensional pain dress when she disappeared... Anyone with information please contact Sawaguchi Kenichi, phone number..." Yanami read out the missing person notice posted in front of the B&B. The girl in the photo was very beautiful and looked very sunny.
"Is this a missing person?"
"Yes." Youjing replied with one word and immediately began to look around the B&B.
The walls were mottled, with large areas peeling off, and no signs of repainting could be seen. It should have been a building from the Showa period, but the surroundings were very tidy, the flowers had been trimmed, and there were no weeds in the yard. Ukyo pictured a middle-aged woman in his mind. She had dry hair, liked to grow flowers, and wore several mid-priced brand-name items because she paid herself well.
Yanaijian pushed open the door, and saw bright lights inside. There were two green plants in the hall, and a lame old woman came up to greet them with a smile, "Would you like to stay at the hotel?"
What? This isn't scary at all?
Yanami thought that the place Ukyo was going to take her to live in was one of those dimly lit, grayish-white, mosquito-ridden guesthouses with dilapidated walls, but she didn't expect the decoration here to be quite good... The interior walls were smooth and white, the overhead lights provided ample illumination, the floor was made of shiny pearwood, and although the landlady was lame, she looked very kind.
"Excuse me, let's get two rooms."
"No, one."
"Eh?" Yana looked at him in surprise. Although he knew that Ukyo didn't have the excessive thoughts of a high school boy, and that renting a room was probably to ensure her safety, after all, no matter how glamorous this place looked on the surface, it was also a haunted house with two cases piled up. But the idea of two people sleeping in the same room was too...
Without waiting for Yana to refuse, Ukyo said to the landlord, "I'm the sleep tester hired by Detective Mori. Here are my credentials."
The landlady took one look and returned the document. Yana craned her neck to see it, but even on tiptoe she could only glimpse the word "Detective." She was startled, wondering if her sixth sense had been right again. Was Ukyo really a detective?
But how can a detective have credentials?
"Don't move anything in the room. Have you had dinner? I'll bring it to you later." The lame old lady didn't care much about Ukyo, but was very enthusiastic about Yanami. She looked kind. Yanami chatted with her a lot and knew that she had severe insomnia recently. Since the accident at the B&B, she hadn't had a good sleep for a long time. The sound of water flowing through the pipes would wake her up from her dreams, and the sound of wild cats in the flower garden also made her uneasy.
Yanaijian comforted her and told her not to be afraid, as the man next to her was an expert in dealing with evil spirits, and all the unclean things would avoid him when they saw him.
But the old lady with the broken leg still didn't look at Youjing. She just continued to hold her hand and kept complaining to her.
The two talked for about ten minutes. Yanami was very patient and kind. She was not on guard at all against an elderly man who was powerless.
Ukyo didn't care and just listened quietly.
Until the old man had nothing more to say, the two of them went to Room 101 where the dead body was found not long ago.
"This is it." The old man said to You Jing with a bad face, "Leave the window open, I want to get rid of the smell, you can do whatever you want with the rest."
The old man paid to hire him. Generally speaking, the landlords of these B&Bs are very polite to the test sleepers, because few people are willing to do this job, especially in homicide cases. There are often real cases in the industry where test sleepers become depressed after living in the house where the murder took place, or suddenly suffer from terminal illness, or get into various traffic accidents.
But as long as the house has been occupied by someone, no accidents will happen to anyone who sleeps there later.
Many haunted incidents in the house will be put to an end.
Therefore, landlords in the industry are very polite to the test sleepers, especially those who dare to take on homicide cases... These guys are ruthless characters who are not afraid of even ghosts and gods. Others have accidents after sleeping, but you are still normal after sleeping, so you must be abnormal!
..........
The door slammed shut, and the first thing Ukyo saw was a newly painted wall.
Yanaijian immediately asked curiously, "Why was this wall repainted?"
You Jing said, "Not only has it been repainted, it's even been refilled. This is the room where the police found the old body. Three days ago, the wall peeled due to moisture. The temporary occupants reached over and peeled back the paint, revealing long-dried bloodstains. I heard that the damp summer air caused the entire wall to turn a dark red. The body the police found was completely trapped in the wall, rotting and stinking."
"Ah..." Yanami immediately retreated behind Ukyo, as far away from the wall as possible.
She felt that it would be difficult for her to fall asleep tonight. She was afraid that as soon as she closed her eyes, the wall would immediately occupy her mind, and the ghost in the wall would continue to disturb her nightmares.
"Ukyo, aren't you afraid?" Yanami suddenly asked.
"I was also afraid when I first did this kind of thing, but men have a natural physical advantage in this regard."
"Uh..." Yana tilted her head at the cute look. "Does the physical advantage mean more yang energy? That should be a disadvantage, right?"
Ukyo was speechless.
He was talking about courage.
He has never believed in the non-materialistic concept of yang energy.
Ukyo thought about his plan a day ago. His paranormal detective agency needed some helpers. Lemon was nowhere to be found for the time being. Yanaijian didn't know if he could rely on her. She was smart enough and interested in this aspect. Even if she was afraid, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. Such a person would be easy to trick into joining the industry.
But if you want someone to make up his mind to do something, he always needs a helper. His useless junior brother can explode for a woman, not to mention that he always thinks that Yanami is stronger than Mingfei?
Thinking of this, Ukyo suddenly took out the business card that Yanami had stood on tiptoe to see. The font "Ukyo Paranormal Detective Agency" was very formal, and a gilded lace border diagonally divided the business card. On the other side was a half-sleeved world tree, and his name was confirmed in the lower right corner, "President: Ukyo Tachibana".
"The commission for sleeping here for one night is 30 yen, a price most high school students can't even afford. Kusukei and Karen are supported by their parents now, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing. But if they want to celebrate their anniversaries well, they need money. What they eat and what they use determine the quality of a relationship, and also the life after that..."
Yanami, do you still remember the membership card for the swordsmanship dojo I mentioned before? Come with me, and I will help you complete the procedures. In the future, you will not only have a business card as a vice president, but you will also be physically stronger than Hua Lian, and you will also be better than Cao De. One day while walking on the street, Hua Lian was coveted by yellow-haired thugs because of her cute and beautiful appearance. When someone is unable to defeat you, you will drop from the sky with a wooden knife, beat them over and then leave the scene gracefully. In their eyes, you will no longer be "Hana meets Anana", but a mysterious guest covered in mystery, doing some kind of secret agent work.
You should remember the clover ring that Caojie put on you, right? He might give Hualian a similar one. You might be envious now, but not in the future, because you can afford better Mikoto and Bulgari. The clover that little boy wove by hand will no longer be of your liking!
The summer night breeze blew past the window. In front of the white painted wall where corpses were embedded and people had died, Ukyo became a master of empty promises in Yanami's eyes. She lamented that she had a first-class ability to label others. The devil Ukyo really spoke with a bit of a "playboy" flavor.
But what he said made perfect sense. Yana was momentarily fooled, even though she later realized that the Mikoto and Bulgari rings couldn't compare to the one the little boy had given her in her youthful whims. But it was too late; she had joined the gang.
"I'll do it with you!"
Volume 19: Chapter : Light Dream
A smile appeared on Ukyo's face.
He thought of the principal who had fought for the great cause of slaying dragons. Every time a student of distinguished pedigree enrolled, he would meet with him individually, pretentiously explaining the greatness of the dragon-slaying cause. Ukyo felt he should do something, say something. Unfortunately, he wasn't good at pretending to be a gentleman, so he could only skip that step and go straight to imparting practical skills.
"Yanaimi, you were chatting with the landlord just now. Did you see the problem with her?"
Seeing the wisdom written all over his face, Yanai thought that the landlord was a nice and kind person.
But Youjing claimed her limp was fake, and the wrinkles on her face weren't natural. Elderly people experience cloudiness in their eyes because the lens hardens and the ciliary muscle weakens with age, making various eye problems inevitable. But the lame landlord, with her slightly yellowish eyes, didn't appear "old."
Yana was shocked. She didn't quite understand what Ukyo meant. It took her a few seconds to realize what Ukyo was talking about.
"You mean that wasn't an old man? But a middle-aged man pretending to be one? How is that possible? I talked to her for more than ten minutes and didn't notice anything."
Ukyo said it was a matter of habit. Due to his old job, he had come into contact with all kinds of people, so even if he accidentally fell into the everyday world, his abilities did not deteriorate.
The reason why he could tell that the other person's limp was fake was because he had seen real lame people... lower limb pain, muscle weakness... various diseases caused their disabled legs to have no force or very little force when walking, but the landlord's lame leg had obvious signs of tapping the ground to exert force. She was just imitating the way a lame person walks.
Secondly, the makeup on her face is very light, and only a little bit is done to create natural wrinkles. This shows that the disguiser herself is also very old, and has reached the age where wrinkles on her face are dense. She should be a woman between 50 and 60 years old, and the possibility of her being a man is basically ruled out because she has a small frame.
Yanaijian felt that his blind spots in knowledge were constantly being touched.
She didn't expect Ukyo to be so professional.
.......
"Why do you have to pretend to be someone else? And pretend to be lame?" Yanai asked.
"I don't know," Ukyo said. "Perhaps the old man was murdered, and the killer hadn't finished disposing of the body yet, so he resorted to this desperate measure. Or perhaps he wanted to delay the death. As long as the old man was still alive, no one would report the crime. For the police, the earlier the death, the easier it is to investigate. Gathering evidence, performing autopsies, interviewing people... all of these things are time-sensitive."
"Once the time limit has passed, if she removes her disguise and leaves, the investigation will become exponentially more difficult."
Yanami was curious about how Ukyo knew so much. In her eyes, he had more and more labels, but the original identity of "high school student" seemed to be disappearing.
I was thinking about this when I heard Ukyo continue, "Our main job is to sleep here for one night so we can get paid the next day. Helping Detective Mori find clues to the missing person is secondary."
"Now... Yana-kun, turn off the lights."
"Ah?" Yanai saw that he was obviously reluctant, "It won't affect sleeping with the light on, right?"
"Click~" As she was speaking, the light in the room suddenly went out, probably because of a circuit breaker. Yanaijian quickly got up and turned on the light again, but when she just walked to the switch at the door, she suddenly found a figure at the half-open door.
Her palms were sweaty and a chill ran down her spine.
