Chapter 27 The Third Person(1/2)

"Is this the young lady's work?"

Zhu Xianyue sat in the tavern and thought about it with Xiaobai for an hour.

"I have calculated it many times, and it is unlikely." Xiaobai said.

"Although the eldest lady has the power to find people everywhere, she will never come to find such places, because such poor places have no idea in her mind."

“And, there is the most important point.”

Xiaobai complained.

"—When you met her, you didn't wear a black windbreaker at all."

"Can that be my previous traces exposed?" Zhu Xianyue quickly proposed the next possibility.

"It's also... unlikely." Xiaobai said after pondering for a while, "How many days have you played your brother in total? Only a little data can be leaked. Are you underestimating me too much?"

After they looked at each other for a long time, Zhu Xianyue suddenly had an enlightened expression on her face.

"noob."

"Then I...maybe I know what's going on."

"Hmm? You know?" Xiaobai suddenly became energetic, "What's going on?"

"It was not what you leaked, nor what I leaked, so it can only be leaked from a third person." Zhu Xianyue said.

"The third person..." Xiaobai said, "Who is it, is it a ghost?"

"It's not a ghost, but it's better than a ghost." Zhu Xianyue said.

She looked up at the top of her head.

The proprietress next to her stared at Zhu Xianyue for a long time.

After all, since Zhu Xianyue came in, the expression of a wanted criminal has always been on her face. This expression is particularly familiar to the boss.

Not to mention that Zhu Xianyue maintained the guilty expression for an hour, and suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

Zhu Xianyue looked at the sky for a while and lowered her head again, "So, Xiaobai, do you understand?"

"……don't know."

"Oh, it's hard to talk to the robot." Zhu Xianyue regretted that iron would not be as strong as steel.

"Comics! Comics!"

...

As the saying goes, there is a cause for injustice, and there is a right to debt. In fact, Zhu Xianyue is actually suspicious of this.

"Ah." After Xiaobai heard the words "comic", he suddenly felt a little enlightened.

"You mean, this news was leaked through the cameras above your head?"

After Zhu Xinyue eliminated all possibilities, the only possibility was this one.

After all, the fact that the black windbreaker has always been emphasized in the missing person notice is very suspicious.

Zhu Xianyue did not wear a black windbreaker when she was in the factory. Except when she needed to write a comic, she would not deliberately wear a black windbreaker on her body, so a black windbreaker is actually a very critical word.

"So, is the protagonist the person who issued this order?" Zhu Xianyue calculated a possibility.

"In other words, we may have verified our previous guess by mistake. Can the protagonist really see the comic?"

Of course, this is just one guess, and there are many possibilities.

For example, Zhu Xianyue and Xiaobai are not very complete in the ending, revealing their whereabouts, and for example, the person who was looking for on the missing person notice is not Zhu Xianyue at all.

There are other possibilities that are even smaller, but in Zhu Xianyue's eyes, who have read too much comics, there is no possibility.

For example, in order to correct the world, the painter specially developed such a move.

Or... the person who leaked this did read the comics, but he was not the protagonist.

"But there are many questions like this." Zhu Xianyue said while gnawing on the fried chicken that the boss lady had just come up: "Joker, he is from the Ole Empire."

"I know that the high-level Hegette is very corrupt now, but no matter how corrupt it is, it is not necessary to let a general from the Outrey Empire come directly to give orders to the police station."

After Zhu Xianyue finished saying this, she suddenly remained silent for a while.

"...Hey! Don't think about the possibility of this matter! Don't think about it! Clear your mind!"

Xiaobai roared angrily.

The two of them quarreled and calculated. At this moment, Zhu Xianyue heard the sound of someone pushing the door in at the door.

A man in a sheriff's uniform walked in.

As soon as he appeared, the boss lady who was still staring at Zhu Xianyue immediately showed an unhappy expression on her face.

"Tsk, here it's again."

She lit a cigarette and the sheriff slowly walked towards her.

Just before he could reach the counter, the boss lady said directly, "I've said it several times."

"I really don't know the person you mentioned in a black windbreaker. Even if you look for someone, you should find some reliable people, right?"

"Is that right?" the sheriff sat down, "Don't be excited by the boss's wife, you are already a local snake here. No matter who comes here, I'm afraid you will say hello to you, right?"

The boss's wife slowly spit out a smoke ring. She looked at the cup on the table with calm eyes for a while, and then said, "Even if I am a local snake, the person you caught should be of a different identity. People like that will not visit small shops like us."

"Yeah."

The sheriff sat down, picked up the adjusted wine on the table and took a sip.

"But, we have recently received tips from two people."

"They all said they had met this person in your hotel, and you even made a glass of wine for him."

The boss's hand was smoking slightly stopped, and Zhu Xianyue and Xiaobai next to him listened with breathing intently.

...The depressing atmosphere lasted for a full minute. Zhu Xianyue was a little scared and wondered whether the boss lady would take out a gun from under the counter like in a movie, but the boss lady suddenly sighed.

"……All right."

She seemed to know that her lie was exposed, and her expression was very helpless.

"I just saw that the man looked very good, so I gave him a glass of wine for free. As for the deeper relationship, I really don't have him."

"I began to be a little glad that I didn't go out to pick up takeout today." Zhu Xianyue muttered in her heart while being dumbfounded.

"Xiaobai, what should I do if I see this situation?"

"This... I can't say it well," said Xiaobai, "but there is something very strange that I should tell you, that is, in the official missing person notice, I didn't find the one at the door."

"What does it mean?" Zhu Xianyue was slightly stunned.

"That is to say, although this missing person notice was indeed a missing person notice issued by the police department, it was not stored in the official data." Xiaobai said, "This is a very strange thing. And have you seen this missing person notice when you were in the hotel?"

"No."

"That's even more strange." Xiaobai said, "In theory, if you want to find someone, you should spread the missing person notices all over the world. Why can't you see this missing person notice in the downtown area like the hotel where you live, but instead post it in the most remote place in this city?"

After listening to Xiaobai's words, Zhu Xianyue's pupils shrank slightly.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Does that person look like this? I know." The sheriff there just finished asking from the boss's wife, picked up the computer used to draw the appearance and prepared to get up and leave.

A second before he left, Xiaobai showed Zhu Xianyue very thoughtfully the portrait drawn on his tablet.

A man wearing a black windbreaker and a hat pressed down low.

Although he just took a look, Zhu Xianyue knew that the boss's wife probably had let the water go, because when she was talking to the boss's wife, she had raised her head completely several times.

However, the portrait does not depict the face in such detail, and most of it is hidden in the shadow of the hat.

"Go, don't bother me again." The proprietress vomited a long smoke ring and then came to Zhu Xianyue.

"Hey, I've been drinking a glass of wine for an hour. I should have finished any wine, right? Get out of here after drinking."

Zhu Xianyue looked at the first second before the boss came over, and packed up her things very quickly and left the wine stall quickly without even a minute.

The second after she rushed out of the wine stall, she took a long breath, smelled the rain outside, and said to Xiaobai, "I told you that the boss lady is a good person, right? Actually, she is really good."

"Indeed." Xiaobai did not refute Zhu Xianyue's words this time.

Zhu Xianyue and Xiaobai slowly walked back along the path, and it started to rain again.

Zhu Xianyue was thinking about the missing person notice while walking.

It is hidden, not posted in downtown areas, but in such remote places.

This can infer a lot of things.

After Xiaobai's prompt, Zhu Xianyue realized that the person who posted this missing person notice might think that the target he was looking for could only live in a slum, and it was absolutely impossible to go to the city center.

The second article is that those who post missing person notices do not want non-slums to know the news.

Or... Hegette's upper class?

Zhu Xianyue thought about it for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was ridiculous.

This feeling is like a senior High Gate executive knows that Faceless is still alive, and is preparing to secretly come to find him privately, without even wanting to disturb his colleagues to know.
