Hiro's doubts
Looking around, he couldn't find any trace of Morifushi Kagemitsu, so Date Kou asked Furuya Rei, "Where's Morifushi? Did you find him?"
"Found it." Furuya Ling nodded and explained to everyone: "Hiro and Miss Mochizuki went to find the victim's family."
Matsuda and Jinpei, who didn't understand what was going on, were completely bewildered. They asked in confusion, "Family members of the victim?" What family members of the victim? A case?
"Are they those who died at the bottom of the sea?" The time when Keimitsu Morofushi started to become abnormal flashed through his mind. Hagiwara Kenji suddenly connected the two things together and asked in a low voice.
Someone under the sea? So quickly, they've already found the family? Matsuda Jinpei's eyebrows knitted together, his eyes fierce as he stared at Shigure Yueling in the mirror. "You were able to find the deceased's identity so quickly, so why did you leave it to the police to investigate? With their efficiency, it would take them years to find the deceased's identity."
Kenji Hagiwara also looked at the mirror, listening attentively to Shigure Yueling's answer. Including Furuya Rei, they were also curious about what Shigure Yueling would say.
Hearing this interrogation, Shi Yuyueling remained calm, her heart unperturbed. "You're wrong. We can't identify the deceased in such a short time. The reason we were able to find the deceased's family so quickly was entirely because Bingbing brought back a medium. Divination saved a lot of time."
"Professional matters should be left to professionals. Investigating the cause of death and uncovering the truth is the police's job and responsibility. If an individual could initiate an investigation simply by discovering a case, wouldn't society be in chaos?"
Unable to refute it, Matsuda Jinpei was unwilling to admit that she had a point, so he snorted and turned away: "Then you can just hope that they can find out the truth."
Hagiwara Kenji came up with a smile and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Magician to be so socialized."
Shi Yu Yue Ling held her chin with both hands and asked with an interested smile, "I'm curious, don't you police officers have a psychological assessment? That, um, Mr. Matsuda, has very dangerous ideas."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Matsuda Jinpei instantly exploded, and was about to rush into the mirror to hit Shi Yu Yue Ling angrily. Fortunately, he was stopped by Hagiwara Kenji and Date Kou. He struggled hard: "I am mentally healthy!"
"Oh, so you know you shouldn't conduct a private investigation, but under this premise, you and those you recognize as capable can ignore it." Shi Yuyue Ling nodded deeply, indicating that she didn't understand and concluded, "Isn't this just like allowing officials to set fires but not allowing ordinary people to light lamps? Pure double standards, scumbag!"
"What did you say?!" Matsuda Jinpei became even angrier. This Chunchun was slandering him! Slander! She was slandering him! Slandering him!
Kenji Hagiwara smiled apologetically at Shigure Yueling in the mirror, and hugged Matsuda Jinpei's waist tightly to prevent him from rushing over. You know, Shigure Yueling really couldn't be hit, but Fūya Rei was still in front of him, and little Jinpei would definitely let Fūya take the blame for him!
Isn't the offensive power of this language too strong? Date Kou helped Hagiwara Kenji stop Matsuda Jinpei, feeling helpless. Matsuda's temper was explosive, and Miss Shigure's comments were also very sharp. Really...
Furuya Rei watched Matsuda Jinpei like he was watching New World. I never expected that just a few words could make this bastard so angry. Is this the art of language? It feels better than beating him up.
Turning the mirror back to face himself, Jiang Gu Ling secretly said to Shi Yu Yue Ling in the mirror: "Awesome." His voice was full of admiration.
This surprised Shi Yu Yue Ling in the mirror. She sat up straight, feeling strange. She hadn't expected this reaction from Fūya Rei. Wait, had she flipped a switch that shouldn't have been flipped? When Zhu Fu Jingguang came back, he saw that the sunny and adorable Yu Junran had turned sinister. It was over. Something was wrong. He had to run away quickly.
"I won't talk to you anymore. Wait until Bingbing and the others come back and contact me when there is any progress." Before he finished speaking, the shadow of Shi Yu Yueling in the mirror had disappeared.
"You run pretty fast." Jinpei Matsuda gritted his teeth in indignation.
Shi Yu Yueling breathed a sigh of relief after cutting off the communication. She stroked her hand in front of the mirror on the desk, and the figures of Wangyue and Zhufu Jingguang appeared in the mirror. They were standing on a high place looking down at a village.
"Where is this?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked around, but could not find any information to confirm his location. Shi Yu Yueling used a mirror to directly transmit him and Wang Yue here.
"This is China," Wangyue, holding an umbrella, answered. Looking at the sparsely populated village in the mountains, her expression was a little solemn. She pursed her lips and said, "That day I heard Chinese language, a female voice muttering about pain. That's when I dug the pocket watch out of the sand. Let's go. Yueyue said the owner's family is in the southwest corner of the village."
Going abroad? Going abroad just like that? It didn't feel real at all. Zhu Fujingguang looked here and there. As soon as he mentioned going abroad, every place seemed new and interesting.
Wangyue stretched out her hand in front of Zhu Fujingguang, interrupting him from looking around. Staring at the hand stretched out in front of him, Zhu Fujingguang looked at Wangyue beside him. She had a calm face. She looked at the hand in front of her again, hesitated and put her left hand on it. The cold feeling came over him again, and in an instant the winter snowflakes were dancing.
His feet left the ground and floated quickly towards the southwest corner. Comparing the detailed address saved on the mobile phone, Wangyue pulled Zhufu Jingguang to stop outside a dilapidated house.
"The owner of the house looks very poor." Zhu Fu Jingguang said hesitantly as he looked at the dilapidated house in front of him.
"Well, this is a mountainous area with inconvenient transportation. It's relatively backward compared to the city." Wangyue looked at the sky. Due to the time difference, the sky here was still bright. The village was filled with children's laughter and the barking of pastoral dogs on the east and west sides of the village. Both sides were quarreling and neither of them would give in.
The house in front of them looked like it had not been lived in for a long time. The wooden door was dilapidated and rotten, and it seemed that it could be pushed open with a push. Wangyue pulled Zhu Fu Jingguang through the door. The yard was overgrown with weeds, almost as tall as a person.
"What should I do now? The master is not at home." Is this a wasted trip? Zhu Fujingguang felt heavy in his heart, always feeling shrouded in a layer of sadness.
"Let's go out and ask someone." Wangyue pulled Zhu Fujingguang through the door, stood on the winding lime road outside the door, and slowly walked in a direction.
Zhu Fu Jingguang followed her quietly. Two strangers came to the small village. The children squatting on the roadside playing stopped smiling and gathered together, looking at the two people with a little vigilance. Wangyue passed the children and continued to move forward. Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was following behind her, looked at the children, then at Wangyue, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he ignored the children and followed Wangyue.
An incomprehensible noisy sound reached his ears. Zhu Fujingguang looked ahead and saw a few elderly gentlemen sitting together chatting and laughing.
"Excuse me, can you tell me where that family over there is now?" Wangyue stopped beside the old people and asked as loudly as possible.
Fortunately, there was no language barrier. Although the dialect made communication a little difficult, Wangyue still found out where the family had gone. Several old people said that the family had only one daughter. She had excellent grades and always got first place. She was sent to study abroad with free tuition. As a result, she never returned and hadn't sent any letter home in ten years.
A year ago, a couple who had saved money for a long time decided to go look for their daughter. However, the husband suffered a stroke just before leaving. Now they are both in the town hospital. The wife picks up garbage and does odd jobs to earn money while taking care of her husband. Despite this, they still cannot afford the medical expenses and owe a huge debt. The villagers have already helped with donations once, but it is still not enough.
"You are a girl, what do you want to do with them?" One of the old men suddenly asked, and everyone stared at Wangyue.
"I have something to tell them about their daughter. Can you tell me which hospital she is in?"
County hospital.
Wangyue pulled Zhufu Jingguang and quickly floated towards the town. Zhufu Jingguang, who was being pulled, asked, "Did you find out?"
"I found it." Wangyue replied. After confirming the location of the hospital, they quickly stopped inside the hospital, found the corresponding floor in the inpatient building, and asked the nurse which ward the two were in.
Following behind Mochizuki, Zhufu Jingguang looked at the people coming and going in the hospital. Some of them even slept in the beds placed in the corridor. This was very different from Zhufu Jingguang's impression of the hospital. It even surprised him. Are there so many patients in the hospital?
While he was distracted, Wangyue had already found the couple. The wife was feeding her husband dinner and was puzzled by the strange Wangyue. Wangyue handed over the pocket watch, and his wife immediately recognized it as her daughter's. It was the only valuable thing in the family and she had asked her daughter to take it away when she went abroad to study.
"She is gone, and this is what she left behind." Wangyue handed the cleaned pocket watch to the mother, along with a bank card.
Upon hearing the news, the mother's expression was filled with both tears and laughter. For the past ten years, they had suspected it, but they simply refused to believe it. Even with no news, they still had hope...
"Anyone who hurt her will be imprisoned and executed. Please accept my condolences." At this point, Wangyue's expression was visibly moved as he added, "As for the body, there were many others killed with her. It's hard to tell which ones are hers anymore."
After saying this, Mochizuki couldn't bear to look at the mother's expression anymore, so he turned and left the ward. The mother behind him, who was still able to move normally, shook her body and almost fainted. When she reacted and ran out to ask, there was no trace of Mochizuki and Zhufu Jingguang in the hospital corridor.
As Wangyue held his hand and floated him to the rooftop, Zhufu Jingguang asked, "Is this the end?"
"Yeah." Wangyue looked at the scenery in the distance and nodded indifferently, feeling relieved but also a little confused.
"Why did Miss Mochizuki bring me along?" Zhu Fu Jingguang stared at Mochizuki's profile. He had never been useful from the beginning to the end. If that was the case, why did she go to so much trouble to let Zero find him and then bring him along?
Hearing this question, Wang Yue raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Zhu Fu Jingguang, his eyes shining as he looked at him and teased, "Because you are good-looking."
Huh? Does this answer have anything to do with his question? Zhu Fushigami paused for a moment.
Zhu Fujingguang's stunned expression amused Mochizuki. She pursed her lips and looked off into the distance, saying, "That day at the bottom of the sea, you said you didn't know what the police were doing, or why they hadn't caught those people yet. I can't answer the second half of this question, but the first half..."
Wangyue turned around and leaned against the half-man-high stone platform on the rooftop. He looked into Zhufu Jingguang's eyes and said, "—After seeing what I did, you should have an answer, right? This is supposed to be a police job, but as a fellow Chinese, I wanted to do something for my compatriots, so I took the pocket watch. Now that I think about it, it really shouldn't have happened. I guess it made it more difficult for the investigating officers."
Zhu Fujingguang looked at Wangyue's face, not knowing how to react. Did he say those words that day?
"As for the answer to the second half, I guess you'll have to find it yourself." Mochizuki smiled at Zhufu Jingguang.
