In fact, it was not without reason that Xia couldn't successfully find the target of her help. Taking a tall girl with an outstanding face on the street would naturally attract a lot of attention, not to mention that she was holding her clothes like a child.
horn.
Xia lost part of her sense of direction in that accident. This is an extremely strange state, which seems to be the mental impact caused by a huge psychological shadow. Although she can still recognize the basic attributes of the front, back, left, right, and high in the space
, can also walk in straight lines and turn normally, but can only plan the path and cannot remember the path he has taken.
If she hadn't described it herself, no one would have been able to imagine this situation, but Jiang Yan chose to believe her description: If she was lying, there was no way to explain why she was being imprisoned. Even without equipment, a
Ninjas who are able-bodied and not restrained will have more than one way to cause trouble.
So Jiang Yan chose the small road.
"Are you a friend of Lord Rat King?" Xia asked, "Did he tell you about the Feng Demon Family?"
Jiang Yan didn't look back. He still didn't know how to control his expression. "I don't know if he is his friend...but he did tell me part of the relationship between your family and him. You came to Longmen to seek help from him."
Help? If you wish—"
"No need." Xia shook her head and rejected Jiang Yan's proposal, "Now the Feng Mo family has lost the qualification to continue to maintain a relationship with that adult. What's more, even if I ask him for help, what has happened cannot be changed."
"Besides, as a prisoner, I am not qualified to ask you for anything." Xia's tone did not change when she said this. "I am satisfied if you can take care of me like this."
It would not be efficient to communicate like this. Jiang Yan did not ask any more questions, but silently walked in front to lead the way for Xia. "Um..." Xia seemed to have some doubts. "My name is Jiang Yan. I don't know much about these two things.
How do you say the word in your language? Just call it by name."
"Your Excellency Jiang Yan, you said that Taiyi was once in Longmen, where is he now?"
Jiang Yan remained silent and did not answer. "...Is that so?" The hand holding the corner of his clothes behind his back lost strength for a moment.
"Do you still want to go now?"
"...Please take me there. I'm also curious about where he lived after he left."
——
The description of the sixth crime, "Smile", very unusually did not follow a unified format. Instead, it was written quite emotionally and did not include the name of the victim. If it were other people, it would probably be confusing, but
Jiang Yan is one of the few people in the world who has some clue about this matter.
It seemed that his previous speculation was indeed correct. The man in a suit wearing a clown mask whom he had met once was the Fangs Clown. And according to subsequent events, the mysteriously missing male prostitute, Taiyi, was probably the sixth case.
of victims.
Judging from the pattern on the inside of the scabbard of the sword, the family crest of the Feng Mo family is the same as what Jiang Yan saw in the room where Taiyi was under house arrest. Now that he is investigating the matter again, Jiang Yan feels it is necessary to inform the Feng Mo family.
people.
"So, there are a total of three children in your family, and you are the second child." Xia was much calmer today, and she talked more because she heard Taiyi's name. Jiang Yan followed what Xia had said to him before and continued to ask, "Who is Taiyi?"
your brother?"
"Yes, he is the youngest child in the family, and there are also eldest brothers. There are many brothers and sisters in the village, but there are only three of us in the generation of the Fuma Lord." The past events reappeared in his mind, Kasumi and
Instead of discussing this topic in detail, he summarized the past events and passed them by, and Jiang Shao stopped asking any more questions.
"What we are going to do later is breaking into a private house. Of course I am confident about your skills, but we still have to pay more attention." Jiang Shao pointed to the small building in front of him that was hidden in the steel jungle and neon lights, "That's right there.
, let’s be more careful and don’t be seen.”
The ninjas and security contracting company officers successfully sneaked into this unguarded small building without much effort. A month later, when Jiang Yan opened Taiyi's unlocked door again, the faint fragrance had faded away.
There are few, but the furnishings and displays have not changed much. It seems that only some small ornaments and stains have been cleaned up, such as the wine glass that Jiang Yan saw last time. It seems that the room has not changed owners yet, which is a good thing in every aspect.
The sense of life has faded a lot, and Xia is not easily affected by sadness after seeing it. Jiang Yan turned around and looked at Xia who was standing blankly at the door of the room, "Come in, this is the place where your brother once lived.
"
"...Excuse me." Although the voice sounded like she was awake, her actions clearly hadn't restored her consciousness yet. Kasumi took off her clogs in front of the entrance, and when she was about to arrange the shoe rack, she noticed the pairs of clogs that belonged to Taiyi on the rack.
.
"these are……"
"I'm afraid he carved it himself after asking someone to buy it." Jiang Yan knew that what Xia noticed was the family crest of the Feng Mo family on the clogs. "He has not forgotten where he came from, and I'm afraid he will think of you often.
.”
Xia's fingertips touched the shoe rack, trembling slightly. She came to the center of the room with confusion in her eyes. "They are all things I have never seen before, but I think this must be his room, and he will like these things."
"Yes." Xia murmured, "He once said that one day he would use incense that would never be used up and put it in the room. He would also like this smell - it looks very prosperous."
The woman stopped talking, and only asked Jiang Yan about the functions when she encountered unfamiliar items. Xia looked at the furnishings in the room one after another, as if imagining how her relatives who had not seen each other for a long time used these items. At that time
What kind of mood do you have?
Jiang Yan opened the cloakroom for her that encompassed the entire world's fashion scene.
"...Does this all belong to him?"
"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded lightly. "Someone bought him the most luxurious clothes in this land. These are all his belongings. These jewelry and clothes will probably make countless girls who are eager to enter the fashion circle jealous.
I'm afraid there aren't even ten people in the entire Longmen who have such a wardrobe."
"This land..." Xia didn't understand the meaning of this concept. She pointed to an elegant long dress and asked, "This is?"
"Victorian-style long skirts are very popular among young aristocratic ladies." Jiang Yan recalled his meager fashion knowledge and tried his best to describe the origin of those clothes.
"What about this one? It looks very tight. It shouldn't be very comfortable to wear..."
Jiang Yan explained, “Designers in Colombia prefer these avant-garde styles.”
Xia looked at them one by one. Jiang Yan couldn't answer most of her questions, but this didn't stop her from imagining how precious and rare these clothes were. Stepping out of the cloakroom, she finally noticed the upside-down clothes on the bedside table.
photo frame.
When Xia finally opened the photo, it was as if a thunderbolt struck her. It took a long time before she sighed:
"……What a nice view."
Holding the photo of her brother in cross-dressing, she turned to Jiang Yan and asked softly:
"What do you think?"
"From a man's perspective...my brother, Taichi," Xia's tone was full of surging sadness, "Is he beautiful?"
Jiang Yan nodded and told the truth. "He is more beautiful than the most beautiful woman I can imagine. I can swear on my life that there will be countless people fighting for a kiss."
"Is this so..."
Xia looked at the photo blankly for a long time, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
"Your Excellency Jiang Yan, I have something to ask of you."
