Atobe Keigo raised his hand to call the bodyguard and whispered something to him. The bodyguard nodded respectfully and left with a team of people.

Jingguang had unknowingly left the team and walked farther and farther according to his own guesses. By the time Atobe Keigo found him, he was already dozens of meters away from the team.

However, Jingguang's search was not in vain.

At the corner of an alley, he saw something familiar.

That is...

Medicinal herbs.

It was a sachet, a gift that Jingguang gave to Yukimura Seiichi when they were climbing the mountain.

Inside is a very effective medicine pack that Jingguang personally prepared and mixed for repelling mosquitoes, snakes and ants.

I remember that Jingshi was very happy when he received it, and he said he would keep it well.

So,

This should be the clue left by Jingshi.

Jingguang turned into the alley and walked straight ahead.

He stopped at a three-way intersection.

The people who were following quietly behind him also stopped and held their breath.

Soon, Jing Guang found another small, hard-to-see medicinal herb fragment at the leftmost of the three intersections. Because he made it himself, he knew the medicinal herbs inside better than anyone else.

In this way, the group turned around and walked through twenty-four alleys of varying sizes. At the twenty-fifth fork in the road, they lost their target again.

"There are only twenty-four medicinal herb fragments in there, and that's all."

Jingguang said softly after putting the last small piece of medicinal material into his pocket.

"So what should we do next??"

Kirihara Akaya, who had been reminded by his seniors not to make any noise to disturb Senior Kagemitsu's thoughts, finally couldn't help but speak out.

His tears were already welling up in his eyes.

After all, no matter how arrogant you are in normal times.

He was just a 14-year-old boy. He was in a foreign country where he was unfamiliar with the place. The missing person was the minister he respected the most. It was good enough that he could endure it until now.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't said anything, if I hadn't provoked that guy and hadn't taken action..."

He murmured softly, tears falling to the ground drop by drop.

Atobe Keigo took out a map of the area from his bodyguard and handed it to Keimitsu: "Don't worry, Keimitsu."

"Um."

Jingguang couldn't wait to take the map from his brother and spread it out on the ground.

Others also came closer to take a look.

Jingguang started from the store, recalling in his mind all the intersections he had passed, and slid along the route on the map bit by bit.

Stay at the current fork.

He looked at the buildings around him, trying to analyze them in his mind.

"Master Jingwu, Master Jingguang, we just got news from the police station that if there are pickpockets on bus No. 62, most of them are from the organization [Amazing]."

After the bodyguard behind him hung up the phone, he walked up to the two of them and reported.

"Tell me about that organization."

Jingguang looked up at him.

"Yes, Master Jingguang." The man was not surprised at all and continued to explain: "This organization is controlled by an unknown underworld force in the UK. It is a pickpocket organization that specializes in pickpocketing on various buses. The police have arrested this pickpocket organization many times, but it still continues. Most of the members are homeless people or orphans..."

The bodyguard reported what was known about the pickpocket organization. "They usually don't act alone. They have plans and coordination, and there are people secretly supporting them. Some people have discovered and stopped them. Afterwards, it was said that some people were retaliated against when they were left alone."

so,

It is very likely that Seiichi Yukimura was followed by pickpockets and was kidnapped or threatened to leave when he left the tennis store.

Maybe those guys used weapons or other tricks.

Jingguang's mind was racing.

This route, as well as the currently known intelligence, and the bodyguards and Rikkai University team members who were sent out to explore three intersections,

They also brought back different messages from the three intersections.

Jingguang pondered for a moment, then decisively put away the map and walked towards the road on the far right.
