Police Department, a surveillance room.

Yu Bai leaned against the swivel chair, and the screen was playing the scene of Setaya District last night.

The police officer on duty was lying on the table next to him, snoring loudly, as if he couldn't wake up, and turned a blind eye to the intruders who were close to him. This was a branch room, and there were many surveillance cameras in Tokyo, and the total number of cameras was obviously not enough to accommodate them in one room. Yu Bai did not go to the main monitoring room of the headquarters. First, there were many people and it was difficult to operate, and there was a risk; second, the picture he wanted to adjust was not so high.

There were dozens of monitors hanging on the wall opposite. Yu Bai pressed the computer in front of him twice. As he adjusted, a familiar scene appeared on the screen. In a 24-hour convenience store, people were waiting for traffic lights. He also saw himself and his female landlord standing on both sides of the intersection.

The two greeted each other. After the green light came on, the female landlord handed him the bag, talked for a few words, and then left behind when she returned to the door of the apartment. This was almost exactly the same as the other person's words when she asked Hua Jiang Xia Ye in the morning.

Yu Bai played it back again, but said nothing.

It was an unsurprising scene, only he knew what was wrong.

After the third slow release, he did not find the clue he wanted, so he stopped tangling.

Drag the mouse, and the time is reduced to 8 o'clock in the evening. The location, the streets, intersections, corners, and monitors on the walls of Setaya Nime Town begin to play back all the scenes from last night.

Yu Bai didn't plan to let a corner go. He browsed with mental power that was far beyond ordinary people, and his main focus was on the intersection near the apartment on the computer. Unfortunately, he couldn't get anything until the end.

Helplessly turned off the fast forward screen and restored the monitoring room to its original state. Yu Bai rubbed his temples tiredly. Taking into account dozens of objects at the same time also consumed a lot of money.

Relying on surveillance to review the incident that night was one of his ideas, and it was also the most direct method on the surface, but it obviously failed.

Yu Bai had no special emotions, and he would not feel it was easy from the beginning. Seeing the local reaction, people's daily lives were like peeking through the pipe, and they could see danger.

He left the monitoring room and continued the next investigation.

What happened at that intersection last night?

What is he going to investigate?

Yu Bai, who was walking through the bustling civil servants and office workers, had no choice but to answer. When he saw him, even he felt chill.

Next he went to more other government departments and some civil organizations, such as newspapers. He wanted to collect evidence through all aspects of society. The forms of "evidence" here are diverse. From paper documents to film and television materials, Yu Bai can become anyone or induce others to come into contact with what they want to know or what they want to hear.

For example, if pork will increase the price, Yu Bai doesn’t have to go through the last link of the information flow in the vegetable market, just ask the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries directly.

His investigation was so simple and boring. The only interesting thing in the monotonous process was that when he walked into an archive room, he accidentally ran into two bold civil servants doing something unbearable. In a hurry, he had to cut each one with a knife and fainted. By the way, he took away the money from his wallet from the clothes and items all over the floor as a hush. He must have made such a mistake, and they would feel guilty to not mention it to outsiders.

At the same time, according to this idea, the investigation is very simple. Indeed, he was even passing by a provincial conference room and hearing the staff talking about the Prime Minister's meeting reception matters later. He couldn't help but have an idea. After a while, a group of senior officials in suits and tie came out in a hurry. When he came out in a hurry, he had already mixed in and stood at the closest position of the old man in the lead, and followed for a long time.

He eavesdropped on everyone's corners, but still found nothing to prove it.

When the sun was drooping west, Yu Bai took off his suit, threw some miscellaneous disguises into the trash can, and returned to the street.

"No sign at all."

He said, but there was no expression on his face that he felt relieved.

A day of investigation eliminates all possibilities through all aspects of society, and then there is only one left.

That's no answer.

After removing several shadow clones who were still working hard somewhere, Yu Bai stretched.

"Go back."

Staring at the dim sunset, Yu Bai was pushed by the crowded subway and whistled away by the crowded subway.

...

The landlord of Huajiang said that her property was passed down from her grandfather's generation and had a long history. Yu Bai came to the ground and watched the surrounding scenery gradually decline from the atmosphere of CBD to the simplicity of the urban-rural fringe, and wanted to tell the truth.

Judging from this, her ancestors are quite rich, and her family should have a long history. I don’t know why this wealthy family has not yet completed its capital accumulation in her hands, but instead she is at work with ease.

Heisei is really a peaceful era, now it is called Reiwa, so look forward to it.

When Yu Bai returned to the apartment, he found that Hua Jiang Xiaye had already gotten off work and was cleaning the yard.

"good afternoon."

He was both an owner and an apartment administrator. The other party, who was in multiple positions, changed into home clothes. When he saw him, he put away his broom and said.

"Okay." Yu Bai replied, "Landlord, do you do the usual cleaning?"

Hua Jiang Xiaye wiped her sweat and said with a smile: "How could it be? Someone asked to take care of it regularly, but occasionally I will do the things I will do, and some kind residents will also help."

Oh, it turns out that it's just idle.

Just like when landlords went to the fields for any time, they had to go around the fields from time to time, they had to talk a few words from time to time. Even if the command did not conform to the objective reality, everyone could not say anything.

Yu Bai nodded to express his understanding and wanted to go back to the house. He noticed that Hua Jiang Xiaye looked wrong. He held the broom in his hands and tried hard to support the ground, as if he was exhausted, and his eyes flashed at him frequently.

Yu Bai tasted it, maybe because he lacked exercise. He taught her radio gymnastics when he had time, or he would...

"Huajiang Landlord, I can't pay back the money for the time being." Yu Bai silently adjusted his position, making it inconvenient for the other party to hand the broom to him, "Please make some more days of reconciliation."

"Oh... there is no hurry to make money." Hua Jiang Xiaye said blankly, "You..."

Yu Bai took the lead in retreating into the gate. At this time, a person came out of the laundry room on the first floor and almost met him.

"Sorry." The soft female voice hurriedly said.

"No, you can go by first." Yu Bai said indifferently, but after seeing the person's face clearly, he paused.

With his clear and cold eyebrows and some baby-fat and cute oval face, he felt a little impression. His eyes turned to the girl's hair, which was a more recognizable double ponytail, so he could recognize it now.

It was the girl who collected clothes on the fourth floor yesterday.

Subconsciously, he looked into the washbasin that he was holding. Well, the clothes were some distinctive, and it was her.

"Ah!" The other party also recognized him, looking very surprised, but the next moment, he noticed Yu Bai's gaze and hurried to Ichigo with his arms.

Yu Bai felt it was necessary to eliminate some misunderstandings, so-called "Don't look at what is wrong, and do not be wrong...

Unexpectedly, the girl lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was covering her head and charging towards him.

"..." Yu Bai looked at the girl's back as she hurriedly ran up the stairs, feeling speechless. Everyone said something friendly and would die.

"Why, you two know each other?" Hua Jiang Xia Ye leaned over and said.

"I don't know." Yu Bai denied, "But I met yesterday, do you know me?"

"Of course, I can recognize the face of every resident," Hanae Naoye showed you the expression of underestimating me. "Her name is Sato Liusu, she seems to be in Tokyo to study in high school. She is still a child when she is studying in another place. She is very hardworking and has a kind heart. I just told you that she will be among the residents who occasionally help with their labor... In the future, everyone lives in the same apartment, and you will see others."

"Okay." Yu Bai silently wrote it down.

"Is there anything wrong between you?" Hua Jiang Xiaye pretended to be casual.

"nothing."

Seeing that Hua Jiang Xiaye was about to take out a broom again, Yu Bailiang showed his personal number card and asked the other party to help complete the rental procedures. This successfully attracted the other party's attention. Hua Jiang Xiaye took out the contract that had been prepared long ago, and the two signed it themselves. The contract officially took effect, and Yu Bai also settled in this old apartment.

As the landlord said, you have worked hard to clean it slowly, and Yu Bai returned to the house.

Close the door, he sat on the tatami in the room, listening to the female landlord muttering in anger, and then left. The first floor and the front yard became quiet, and soon became messy in new sounds. The tenants who came back one after another, the kitten passing by, the footsteps of the corridor, the sound of clothes and plastic bags rubbing...

At first he thought about what he had gained today and whether there were any omissions. After getting the same result, he let go, listen quietly, and feel.

For dinner, he ate some rice balls he bought on the road, then continued to concentrate and close his eyes, listening to everything outside the house, like an old monk meditating. The wind and grass in the apartment flowed in his perception like a river.

He listened, felt, slowly adjusting his breathing, and unknowingly he had merged into the fireworks of this world.

He was waiting, too.

The sky outside the window gradually became darker.

Without turning on the lights, the light in the room was very dim. The street lights and night lights reflected by the curtains fell on the tatami, as if they were blessed with a hazy filter.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Bai quietly opened his eyes and pulled out a knife from the darkness.
Chapter completed!
