"They acted so quickly that at first we had no idea why he committed suicide. We were all investigating his corruption. Only recently have they shifted their focus. It's been over a month now."
"The other party was able to calmly clear up all the follow-up, and now we only have one last clue left."
"The last clue?"
"We speculate that the man must be from a powerful family. However, this empire has 3,184 powerful families. Well, now there are only 3,183. That's too many."
She Zhuyin said calmly, "No matter how many there are, we will investigate each family one by one until we find her."
Huo Yushen said, "There's no need to check every household. I speculate that this person is most likely not from Guiyuan Star and may have used a private interstellar spacecraft to enter and exit Guiyuan Star. Then, we found the whereabouts of that private spacecraft."
"The individuals involved in that private interstellar spacecraft have been apprehended."
After Huo Yushen finished speaking, She Zhuyin suddenly tapped the photo on the virtual display and said, "...Where did this photo come from?"
"The rescuers witnessed it firsthand, and then used machine intelligence to create the map."
"Is this man still alive?"
"who?"
"...someone who lets you create maps using mechanical intelligence."
Huo Yushen nodded: "Well, she is still alive."
"Then why wasn't she silenced?" She Zhuyin asked sharply, "Could this person also be an important clue?"
Huo Yushen's heart moved, as if he remembered something, and his dark pupils narrowed almost imperceptibly.
But he still said with a cold face, "She is a low-level member of the Night Hunter Association. She is not a genetically evolved person and has no psychic power. She has been in danger before, and someone did want her life, but it has nothing to do with this case."
"Also, I'm the only one who knows that she's seen her sister's appearance. This map isn't on file with the Special Security Bureau. No one else knows about it except you and me. So, I suspect the other party probably doesn't know that this person holds important clues."
"If she knew, she would have died long ago. With the other party's means and power, it is impossible not to do everything in their power to kill her."
"She's a rare fish that slipped through the net. The other party underestimated her importance, so even if they tried to silence her, they probably didn't succeed. Later, perhaps considering the cost of silencing the hunters too high, they didn't continue, or perhaps they're still planning."
She Zhuyin: "...You really know a lot, why didn't you tell me before?"
Huo Yushen's expression remained icy as he said calmly, "She doesn't know her sister's whereabouts, so it's useless to tell her."
She Zhuyin nodded and said, "What about now? Could it be that the other party didn't attack her because they were afraid of the Dark Night Hunters Association? Who is this person?" She Zhuyin seemed to be thinking about something.
Huo Yushen didn't say anything and just turned off the virtual display screen.
She Zhuyin got up and returned to her room.
There was an easel in the corner of the room, on which was painted a picture of a graceful girl, but the girl's face was blank.
She Zhuyin walked over, picked up the paintbrush in the midday sun, and began to carefully depict the girl's facial features.
After finishing the painting, she looked at the new painting and murmured, "...So, this is what you look like..."
The sound was like waiting for millions of years, and it felt like it was finally coming to an end.
…
After New Year's Eve, Mulan City on Guiyuan Star ushered in the first day of the new year.
Xia Chujian slept until almost ten o'clock before getting up. While having breakfast, she contacted Zhu Yingying and asked Aunt Chen to come and pick her and Xia Yuanfang up, saying that she wanted to go see Aunt Chen and Yingying.
Of course Aunt Chen was very happy.
She hopes that Zhu Yingying can spend more time with girls of the same age and live like a normal person.
Aunt Chen was extremely grateful that Xia Chujian could maintain a friendship with Zhu Yingying.
She immediately used her stealth skills and quickly arrived at the building where Xia Chu met them from the strange beast forest outside the city.
Her house there has been sold, but she is still familiar with the area.
On the morning of New Year's Day, she suddenly appeared in the narrow alley between two buildings.
He walked out of the alley calmly, entered the building, took the elevator, came to Xia Chujian's house, and rang the doorbell.
This time, she noticed something was different.
The house opposite the Xia family that was under renovation has already been occupied.
That family seemed to have a very powerful dog, but as soon as Aunt Chen's presence appeared in the corridor, the big dog, which had been unruly just now, suddenly tucked its tail between its legs and found a place to hide.
Aunt Chen remained calm and waited at the door of Xia Chujian's house.
Xia Chujian opened the door and happily welcomed Aunt Chen in.
"Aunt Chen, Happy New Year!" She happily wished Aunt Chen a happy new year.
Aunt Chen took out a red envelope and placed it in her hand, saying, "Happy New Year! Chu Jian is one year older..."
Xia Chujian was delighted: "Yes, I am an adult now! Thank you Aunt Chen for the red envelope!"
Xia Yuanfang was also dressed by this time. She walked out of the bedroom and said, "Happy New Year, Sister Chen. I'm really sorry to bother you."
"No trouble, no trouble!" Aunt Chen waved her hands happily, "Shall we leave now?"
Xia Yuanfang nodded: "If it's convenient for you."
Three people walked out of the house and took the elevator downstairs.
Aunt Chen said, "Does our building have an extra elevator?"
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Yes, it's that renovation company from before. I don't know why they suddenly became so kind. Not only did they install a free elevator for us, they also renovated the exterior of the building. Now, in the entire neighborhood, the house prices here have increased the most!"
