Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

"Ah, it's been a long time since I went shopping in such a comfortable way."

With a white T-shirt on her upper body, blue washed jeans on her lower body, and a pair of flat canvas shoes, Xi Wei was walking on the street with big bags and small bags. She squinted her eyes and looked at the shops on both sides under the scorching sun. .

"Really, working overtime every day is really exhausting."

She complained, reached out to wipe the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and stood on the side of the road with her hips crossed. On this bustling roadside in the upper city, Xi Wei can't be regarded as a particularly outstanding beauty, but after all, she is also an investigator who can jump up and knee down on the thug's jaw. , which can be regarded as somewhat beautiful.

"Well……"

It's a pity that the hooded boy who was walking with her at this moment didn't pay attention to these things. He just hid his eyes in the shadow of the brim of his hat and watched the pedestrians around vigilantly as he followed her. Even this young man had his hands in his pockets, and even though Xi Wei in front of him had already packed his hands full of bags, he didn't have the slightest intention to go up to share the burden.

"Ah, Mr. Chase, are you tired?"

Hearing the voice, Xi Wei remembered that she still had a companion today. Looking back at Markesias behind her, she didn't seem to think that the young man's behavior was "ungentlemanly", but just showed a bright smile at him. With a smile, he raised his finger and pointed to the coffee shop next to him.

"Then shall I buy Mr. Chase a drink?"

"No need. I..."

For such a request, the hooded boy was a little surprised, but he still directly refused. However, before he finished speaking, Xi Wei ran over directly, ran behind him and pushed him forward.

"Hey, it's okay. Seeing that Mr. God is not here, it's okay to have a drink, it's okay, it's okay."

"Ah, I can't...no."

Faced with such a request, Markesias seemed a little at a loss. Even though he was a powerful investigator, he couldn't resist Xi Wei's toughness for a while. Pushed by her all the way to the coffee shop on the street, she sat down on a chair. The clerk next to him also came up in a timely manner, and said to the two with a smile.

"What do you two need?"

"A cup of coffee latte." Xi Wei pointed skillfully, and then looked at Marchesias next to her. "What does Mr. Chase need?"

"I……"

Under the gaze of the two, the hooded boy looked a little shy with his head lowered. His hands were covered in wide sleeves, not showing outside, but he just whispered: "A glass of milk will be fine."

"Okay, a cup of coffee latte and a cup of milk." The waiter smiled and lowered his head to select the menu. "Please wait a moment, both of you, it will be delivered right away."

"Ah, our order is about the same." Xi Wei put the bags in both hands beside the chair, then sat down, and smiled at Marchesias.

"Huh?" Markesias was still looking around after sitting down, and looked at Xi Wei with some puzzlement, "You ordered coffee, and I ordered milk. Why are they similar?"

"I ordered a coffee latte. The word 'latte' means milk. A coffee latte is coffee with milk." Xi Wei replied with a smile.

"Since you're here, why don't you try some coffee? Their store is an old store before Yongye, and it's quite famous in the upper city."

"Is it famous?" The boy turned his head, and quickly scanned around this shop that didn't seem very lively. During the bustling hours of the afternoon, there were only a few scattered customers in the store. Compared with the huge restaurant in this store, it seemed a bit empty.

"It doesn't look like there are many people."

"The store before Yongye, if it lasts until after Yongye, it means it is very famous." Xi Wei also looked at the store, shrugged her shoulders, then leaned forward, and looked at Markesias with one hand on her chin. .

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"I can't drink coffee because of my physique." Marchesias didn't seem to expect that Xi Wei would hold on to this, but replied honestly: "So the master told me that I can only drink milk outside."

"Can't you drink coffee?" Xi Wei's eyes subconsciously shifted to the boy's hood and the right hand that was covered in the sleeve, and she blinked a little worriedly.

"It's really a rare physique. If you only drink milk... Hey, I didn't invite guests. You come out with me, so how about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

"Actually, you don't need to invite." The young man blushed slightly, raised his hand and gathered the brim of his hat again, covering his face in the shadow, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Mr. said, this is a protection mission."

"Protection mission..." Xi Wei rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but think of the scene before she got off work yesterday.

...

"Sir! I'm on vacation tomorrow, and I'd like to borrow your assistant for half a day to go shopping in the afternoon. Do you think it's okay?"

"Xias? Why don't you talk to him directly about this kind of thing?"

"Everyone knows that Mr. Xiasi listens to you~ Hehe, seeing that I have worked so much overtime on the tasks ahead of me, I should take it as a kindness."

"...Yes, Xia Si, then you will spend the day with her tomorrow. Remember to come back at night."

"Master, Mr. Xiu, I won't go shopping with people..."

"Just treat it as a protection mission. You also need to learn how to communicate with people. Then it's settled. When will I see you tomorrow?"

"Then tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, east of the Artists Bridge in Shangcheng District. See you there~"

...

"I just went out for a stroll, where is there anything to protect?" Xi Wei looked a little helpless, and said casually, "I see that you have observed all the way, and what is the result of your observation?"

"Half an hour ago, there was a shop obliquely in front of us. A gangster was charging protection fees from the shopkeeper. There were some conflicts between the two sides. The gangsters quickly controlled the shopkeeper. In the end, it should be the shopkeeper who paid the money and decided to escalate the situation. It's less likely," Marchesias said.

"Really?" Xi Wei's good mood when she came out to go shopping faded a little bit, her fingers tapping on the table paused slightly, and she didn't continue.

"When we were shopping, something like this happened."

"Fifteen minutes ago, when we passed that intersection, a thief was stealing the wallet of the man in line ahead of him." Marchesias continued.

"After he got it, he walked across the street and got into a white van with the license plate number X624. There were three of his companions in the car. It was presumed that a gang committed the crime. After he got it, he went northwest."

"Huh?" Xi Wei was taken aback when she heard that. "Why didn't you say it when you saw this kind of thing?"

"Because I'm on a protection mission. Your safety is the first priority." Marchesias said seriously, "I judge that their actions are not dangerous to you. So there are no extra problems."

"I..." Xi Wei's eyes widened, she stared blankly at Markesias who had an innocent face opposite her. After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses, got up, took out his mobile phone, walked to the bedside and started making calls.

"Hello? Is it the dispatch center? I'm Xi Wei from the Search Bureau. I just witnessed a gang theft near the business center in Shangcheng District. After the other party succeeded, he took a white van and moved towards the high-tech zone. The license plate number is X634, please." ..."

It was not until more than ten minutes later that Xi Wei sat back with her mobile phone, and the clerk had already brought the drinks for the two of them by this time. Xi Wei held the coffee spoon and tilted her head, gently twirling the liquid in the cup in her hand, looking at the boy on the opposite side who hesitated to speak for several times.

"You really don't know how to socialize with people." Xi Wei sighed. "It's really strange, how did you become an investigator with this personality?"

"I'm sorry." Markesias replied softly upon seeing this. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's not to the extent of doing something wrong..." Xi Wei couldn't bear the young man's appearance for a moment, and subconsciously moved her gaze away.

"You don't need to apologize to me, just say it."

"If you're the only one who says that, I really don't think there is anything to apologize for." However, after the hooded boy was silent for a while, he suppressed a sentence that almost caused Xi Wei to choke to death on coffee.

"I'm Mr. Xiu's assistant. I just need to understand Mr. Xiu's orders."

"Ahem, I..." Xi Wei choked on her coffee a few times, her eyes widened, and she quickly pulled out a tissue from the side to wipe her mouth, so as not to get it on her clothes.

"But Mr. Xiu also said so." However, the boy didn't care about her reaction, he was just very frustrated. He lowered his head and whispered, "So I think it's my fault."

"...This kind of thing." Xi Wei pinched the spoon and didn't know what to say for a while, "You are all my seniors, and I don't know what to say about the things between you."

So there was a silence between the two, and only soothing music was playing in the cafe, filling the space around them.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about other things."

After a slight pause, Xi Wei seemed to have thought of something, and stroked her hair on the sideburns with a wandering gaze, and shifted the words casually, finally gradually revealing her true intention for this invitation.

"Mr. Jianshen was rarely seen in the bureau in the past few days after the maritime case was closed. Is the Chief Investigator... busy with something these two days?"

"Mr. Xiu didn't seem to be in a good mood a few days ago. When he saw him, he always seemed to have something on his mind, and he was busy with something outside." Markesias also frowned upon hearing this, shook his head and said:

"However, it seems to be getting better these two days, and I returned to the bureau yesterday."

"Huh? Is it in a bad mood? Isn't the case successfully closed? Could it be that something else happened?" Xi Wei became curious, sat up straight and asked.

"The last two days... there is no special case." Xi Wei said, then suddenly seemed to remember something, with an expression of interest on her face, she stretched her neck and approached the young man, probing with a smile :

"Is it a private matter?"

"I don't know." However, the boy pouted slightly. "The husband is not willing to take me these few days, and today he asked me to come out to protect you."

"Uh, that seems to be the case." Xi Wei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that there was something about her in it, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, "No, but Mr. Jianshen doesn't want to take you or something... "

But soon she came to her senses and became even more surprised. In her impression, Shenxiu and the boy in front of her were always inseparable, but now she actually heard the words "I don't want to take him" from his mouth.

"That's really rare."

"This is also the first time for me to meet you." The young man lowered his head in frustration, "Mr. has never been like this before."

"..." After hearing this answer, Xi Wei was a little embarrassed for a while, but after thinking about it, she suddenly changed her expression and asked the boy in front of her with a smile.

"Mr. Chas, since this is the case, why don't we buy something we like for Mr. Jianshen and bring it back as a present to calm him down?"

"What do Mr. Jianshen usually like?" She moved closer to Markesias and blinked her eyes, her tone full of abduction, "Clothes, food and drink, or... utensils?"

"...Like it?" Markesias blinked his clear eyes, looking a little confused.

"Hey, it's something important to Mr. Seeing God." Seeing Markesia's appearance, Xi Wei quietly clenched the hand under the table, anxious but not easy to break through, so she could only reply patiently road.

"That kind of thing that you miss? Will you miss it? Something you want to get close to every chance you get, or... a person?"

"No. I can't tell you that."

Unexpectedly, when the young man heard this description, he suddenly became vigilant, and immediately leaned back, distanced himself from Xi Wei who was approaching, and stared at her seriously.

"Mr. said that what the investigator cares about cannot be disclosed to others, otherwise people will catch the flaw and use it as a threat."

"Others or something..." Xi Wei's head was covered with black lines by the boy's reaction, "I'm not an investigator too? I'm not asking about anything important. I just want to know about hobbies."

"No, who knows what you think." Marchesias looked serious, "What if you are the ghost? You can say these things without telling me."

"I..." Xi Wei was at a loss for words, looking at the righteous young man, she felt as if the veins on her forehead were jumping. She desperately found that even so, the other party was also a senior. After struggling for a while, she could only forcefully smile and say:

"There's no need to be so serious~, I just want to prepare some souvenirs..."

"Since Mr. Chase is unwilling to disclose..."

However, when the two were talking, an elegant and young female voice from the next table suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Why don't you come down and answer this question?"

"..."

Xi Wei's body suddenly stopped, and the moment the sound came to her ears, she felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar - but it was not the kind of familiarity that would definitely know the person who came, but it was vaguely like hearing it in some materials, but Because I have never seen a real person, I can't correspond to the familiarity in my mind.

"Well, let's think about it..."

Before she had time to think about it, the answer was already revealed, and the blond girl who spoke had already come in front of the two of them when she spoke. When she spoke, her voice was calm and decent, and the British-style female high school uniform fit on the girl's body, outlining a youthful and beautiful arc. However, being young does not affect the natural aristocratic air of her body. Her blond hair is simply pulled behind her head, reminiscent of the ladies in ancient paintings, demure and elegant.

"The thing that Mr. God will like..."

However, when answering this question, the lady in the ancient painting also had a strange expression on her face, as if she was talking about a delicate question, with a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.

"Sure enough, it's money, right?" Yedu Yuya said slowly.
