"Crunch, crunch (here, here)."

Ren Suo made a sound like a mouse. Qiao Muyi, who was looking at the wreckage of a seat, sighed helplessly and walked towards Ren Suo.

Ren Suo squatted on the pulpit of the church, pointing at the only black floor below the pulpit that had not been stained by the flames. Qiao Muyi leaned over and saw some dirt on the floor with the help of the midday sunlight leaking through the hole in the ceiling above her head.

The enhanced "detective eye" allowed Qiao Muyi to quickly analyze the source of the dirt: except for the pastor himself, no one else would come up to the pulpit. Even if the pastor of the church was not responsible for cleaning, he would definitely hire someone to clean it every day. Although this church is not big, it is not small either. There were more than 20 believers in the church that day. They would definitely not be unable to afford to hire someone to clean the place. Maybe some believers would volunteer to clean it...

Seeing Qiao Muyi brainstorming again, Ren Suo yawned, walked behind the ruins of the church, looked outside to see if there was anyone coming, and kept watch for Qiao Muyi.

They are now in a church in Adachi District, Tokyo. It took them more than an hour to get here from Shinjuku just by changing train lines.

This church was burned to ruins fifteen days ago, and there were still twenty-three people worshipping in the church when the fire broke out. If it was just a simple fire, perhaps none of them would be safe, but along with the fire came the source of the fire disaster.

The source of the disaster is both the weakness and the trump card of the disaster. When no one could kill the source of the disaster, the fire source of the disaster with hunting wisdom blocked all the escape routes in the church. When the fire truck completely extinguished the fire, they could only find 23 bodies that were burned to charcoal.

Fortunately, the church was at a sufficient fire-proof distance from the two adjacent buildings, otherwise the fire would have been more serious.

This place seemed to have been thoroughly investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and the Spirit Hall. There was no one stationed here, and it was abandoned before the planned reconstruction. A cordon was set up outside. When Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi arrived, they saw that a stone outside the cordon was filled with bouquets of flowers, and all passers-by bowed their heads in mourning.

The two of them had no choice but to sneak into the ruins. Fortunately, the fire only blew away the ceiling, and the four walls were only slightly broken, which could barely block their sight. Therefore, Qiao Muyi was able to investigate here for two hours without being discovered.

A full two hours!

Ren Suo thought that it was just a matter of a beep in the game, so why was the reflection in reality so bleak? Qiao Muyi had to brainstorm for more than half an hour to find important clues. Ren Suo couldn't play with his phone at this time because his phone was running out of battery and he couldn't find a place to charge it. He needed it in the evening.

Therefore, he had no choice but to stand there stupidly, silently flipping through "Xiao Suo's Secret Diary" in his mind to see if there were any clues here. Qiao Muyi could find the clues herself, but Ren Suo, who had played the game before, quickly matched the investigation points with the game screen and helped her speed up the progress.

Ren Suo thought that he should have defined their relationship as "father and daughter" to appreciate how much effort an old father had put into ensuring his daughter's actions went smoothly.

However, Ren Suo knew that Qiao Muyi would definitely not want to call him dad, so he never brought it up.

After a while, Qiao Muyi stood up from behind the podium. Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked over and asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"Yes, I found it." Qiao Muyi put his right fist in front of his lips, and said in a thoughtful manner: "Let's go."

"Let's go...let's go?" Ren Suo blinked: "Are we going to eat?"

"Not yet." Qiao Muyi said, "I want to catch this feeling and continue looking for it, and then eat it later."

Ren Suo thought that this scene didn't exist in the game, so he reluctantly agreed and followed Qiao Muyi to secretly leave the church ruins.

However, Qiao Muyi seemed obsessed. After leaving, he wandered around the nearby residential area, constantly looking down at the dirt on the ground, and even picking it up and rubbing it. When Ren Suo passed by a beverage vending machine, he bought himself a bottle of energy drink. It tasted like Pocari Sweat, and the packaging also looked like Pocari Sweat...

Ren Suo took a closer look and found that it was Pocari Sweat. Looking closely at the logo, he discovered that it was a sports drink brand established by Fanying Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Its real name was 'poari·sweat'!

So you are not from China?

After walking and stopping for half an hour with Qiao Muyi, Ren Suo, who had "insight into the world", suddenly felt that the patrol officer on a bicycle behind him seemed to have passed by for the second time!

Moreover, he had already stopped and was observing him and Qiao Muyi with his eyes narrowed!

Ren Suo immediately pulled Qiao Muyi, who looked like he was eating dirt, but failed. Damn, we are all third-level cultivators, why are you so strong that I can’t even pull you?

"Young Master, Young Master." Ren Suo called out in a low and urgent voice, and Qiao Muyi finally came back to her senses. Then Ren Suo took the opportunity to pull her away.

After they turned a corner at a nearby fork in the road and left the patrol officer's sight, Ren Suo complained, "Nan, you should also pay attention to the impact. You are about to be wanted. If you continue to linger near the residential area for a long time like this, the police will notice you..."

Although the people of Fanying did not have ID cards and the household registration system was a mess, the patrol officers would not stop them and ask them for their ID cards, but the appearance of two strangers here was suspicious in itself. In addition, there have been so many disasters in Tokyo recently that the police were nervous. It would not be a good thing if they were noticed by the police.

Qiao Muyi looked at Ren Suo nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of? The police will definitely run slower than us."

Unlike Qiao Muyi's optimism, Ren Suo was not aware of the plot of the game, so he was so nervous that he even held back his urge to pee. He glanced at Qiao Muyi, who was brushing the dirt off his hands, and asked, "What were you looking for just now?"

"There is soil under the pulpit. I'm trying to find the soil here that is closest to the soil under the pulpit." Qiao Mu leaned against a wall built by someone else's house and said, "My magic can detect the subtle differences between soils. I searched all the way here and found that the soil here is closest to the soil under the pulpit."

"Then...what next?" Ren Suo tilted his head and asked, "Is the soil here tastier?"

"I suspect that there was another person in the church when the fire broke out, or someone entered the church before the service began." Qiao Muyi said, "That person was the key to the source of the fire disaster."

"The soil under his feet is nearby. Let's look around."

Ren Suo saw that Qiao Muyi's lips were dry, and thought that she seemed to have not had any water since coming to Tokyo early in the morning, so he handed her the Pocari Sweat: "Have a drink of water, girl."

"Yeah." Qiao Muyi took the energy drink and took a sip, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What did you call me?"

"Ah?" Ren Suo blinked. He had just thought that their relationship was more like that of father and daughter, so he unconsciously called her daughter: "Well, look, was it me who reminded you of the clues in the church? Was it me who pulled you away when the police were watching? Was it me who gave you water when you were thirsty? I think our relationship can be changed to father and daughter..."

Qiao Muyi drank the rest of the energy drink, stuffed the empty bottle back into Ren Suo's arms, squinted at him, and turned away.

"Xiao Suo, let's go!"

Ren Suo shrugged. It seemed that she didn't want to be a daughter anymore.

Ren Suo looked around but didn't find any trash cans. There were too few trash cans in Tokyo. They were rare even in busy commercial areas, and even rarer in Adachi District.

He shook the bottle and found that there was still a little drink in it, so he opened it and drank it all. Qiao Muyi, who was secretly watching from the front, blushed.

You are so good, Ren Suo, I treat you as my best friend’s husband, but you actually want to be my dad!

And I almost finished the bottle of drink, why are you still drinking? Do you understand indirect kissing? Are you doing this on purpose?

However, Ren Suo would take the initiative to pass her the half-drunk water, and Qiao Muyi estimated that Ren Suo would not mind these details.

Of course, she didn't know that Ren Suo was a strong man who even licked up his roommate's ice cream. If not minding drinking from the same bottle of water means not minding indirect kissing, then Ren Suo's level is at least not minding indirect tongue kissing...

After walking for another hour and a half, Qiao Muyi finally found his destination by following the clues.

A residence sealed off by police.

This is a very traditional single-family house, but the front door has been blown over. Looking inside from outside the cordon, one can see that the floor-to-ceiling windows on the yard side of the house are also broken into pieces. Glass fragments, wood chips and other messy garbage have made the overgrown yard look like a garbage dump.

Ren Suo was very sure that this was not one of the 33 investigation points that appeared in the game. He had visited those 33 investigation points dozens of times and was familiar with the specific scenes of each investigation point. He was very sure that there was no other investigation point in Adachi District except that church.

Qiao Muyi watched quietly for three minutes, then turned and left.

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?"

"No need, I've seen it." Qiao Muyi exhaled softly: "Let's find a place to eat first."

You still know to find a place to eat. Ren Suo was so hungry that he wanted to perform a magic trick of "making fried chicken out of nothing". However, he felt that it was too frivolous to eat fried chicken for the first meal after finally coming to Tokyo. Besides, Qiao Muyi would definitely not accompany him to eat fried chicken while walking on the street.

They found a small soba noodle shop. Qiao Muyi ordered two soba noodle sets and whispered to Ren Suo, "The house that was sealed off by the Metropolitan Police Department should be the home of the person who appeared in the church. That person is definitely not a good person. I'm afraid he set up some kind of explosive trap in his home to trick the Metropolitan Police Department and Spirit Hall investigators."

Ren Suo was a little surprised: "Isn't that the scene caused by fighting?"

Qiao Muyi shook her head: "No, that person left a long time ago. He was probably killed by the Spirit Hall somewhere else, but he may still be on the run... just like me."

"Why do you say you're running away? Have you ever seen anyone running away with a father?" Ren Suo separated his chopsticks and looked at the soba set in front of him. The soba noodles were sprinkled with seaweed and placed on a round colander. Next to them was a cup of black soup and a bowl of potato salad. It looked quite appetizing.

He put the cold noodles into the cup with soup and ate it with a slurp. It tasted so salty!

Or just pour the soup on it directly.

By the way, the soba noodle set really only has noodles, without even a bit of meat. Is that how you can lose weight?

"You still want to be my dad? You'd be better off being my servant." Qiao Muyi snorted, unable to resist speaking venomously: "Do you really have to be sure of your relationship with me? Fine! You call me Young Master, and I call you Xiao Suo. Of course, we are master and servant. This is the most reasonable way! As a servant, you should help your master prepare drinks, help with work, and help watch the wind. It's only natural!"

As soon as Qiao Muyi said this, she felt a little regretful. Ren Suo accompanied her all the way to a foreign country to help her find clues to clear her name, but she still treated him so harshly. Would this make him unhappy and angry?

However, Qiao Muyi didn't expect that as soon as she said this, Ren Suo burst out laughing.

He couldn't even stop laughing, and dimples appeared on his cheeks. He had to cover his mouth to avoid attracting the attention of the other diners.

Qiao Muyi stared at Ren Suo blankly, feeling like a large piece of ice cream melting in her heart.

If Ren Suo had a grim expression, retorted or remained silent, Qiao Muyi would have anticipated it and could immediately say something to comfort him, but with Ren Suo's smile, even she didn't know what to do.

She had always been used to using thorns to protect herself, and was also used to defusing other people's counterattacks. Now that she met someone who was willing to be stabbed by her and even foolishly happy, she really didn't know how to react.

She pursed her lips and said gently, "I was scolding you, but you were still laughing. You are so stupid, you will definitely suffer in the future..."

"ah?"

Ren Suo came back to his senses and said, "Yes, Qiao Muyi was scolding me just now."

However, Qiao Muyi's words about the "master-servant relationship" instantly reminded him of the game's settings. Ren Suo suddenly realized that the settings of "master-servant, Mr. Mu, and Xiao Suo" were all created by him by accident, so he couldn't help laughing.

This feeling that everything is destined is really helpless and funny.

Ren Suo glanced at Qiao Muyi. He was now thinking about how to fight back, but Qiao Muyi's tone was strange now. It seemed that she didn't want to argue with him at all. He had no choice but to swallow the words in his throat.

"That person must be closely related to the source of the chaos in the church. Perhaps he was the one who set fire to the church, which caused the source of the chaos." Qiao Muyi stated his final conclusion.

Ren Suo blinked, thinking that in the game, this was the conclusion that Master Mu could draw after checking all the clues. Why were there so many more steps in reality... However, the game console was able to directly skip the rebel's eight days of idling and practicing, so it seemed normal to skip a part of the boring process of Qiao Muyi's investigation.

"We've been walking all day and are very tired." After eating the buckwheat noodles, Qiao Muyi said, "Let's find a place to stay."

"stay?"

Qiao Muyi nodded, took out her wallet and looked at it, feeling a little embarrassed: "But we don't have a bank card, we don't have Fanying's phone number, we can't stay in a hotel, and we don't have much money..."

There is no ID card in Fanying. The only things that can prove your identity are driver's license and various stamps. But Fanying people need some proof to check into a hotel, either by swiping a bank card or leaving a mobile phone number to pay in cash. Foreign tourists have to register with their passports.

The little fat man didn't have much New Year's money. After Qiao Muyi bought a dharmakaya and two suia cards (Tokyo subway and train pass), he only had 40,000 yen left. The two of them had to spend a lot of money on food, clothing, housing and transportation in Tokyo these days, and they couldn't last for a few days.

But Ren Suo didn't care: "It doesn't matter. We'll continue investigating tonight. Maybe we can find a place to stay..."

At this time, Ren Suo suddenly remembered something. He hesitated for a moment and decided to give a shot of prevention: "Mr. Qiao..., if a patient likes to pester the doctor because he was saved by the doctor, is this normal?"

Qiao Muyi blinked and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "That depends on who the patient is and who the doctor is."

"What's the meaning?"

"If the patient is a beautiful woman and the doctor looks like a scumbag, then this is not normal." Qiao Muyi pointed at the remaining noodle on the strainer and lightly stroked it with her finger.

The noodles broke in two.

"The kind of scumbag who relies on his ability to deceive young girls' feelings deserves to be killed." Qiao Muyi's eyes smiled like a fox. This was the smile that Ren Suo was most familiar with, representing that Qiao Muyi had a malicious intent in his heart that was ready to be vented at any time.

Oops, the vaccine can't penetrate the opponent's armor.

But luckily, I don’t look like a scumbag, so I should be able to get through this night safely...right?
