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

"What does Miss Yedu mean by that?!"

Xi Wei heard that the knuckles of her fingers pinching the cup turned slightly white, and anger appeared on her face instantly, she tried her best not to get up directly, and said in a cold voice:

"This is serious slander!"

"...Don't worry, it's just a joke." However, seeing Xi Wei's reaction, Yedu Yuya just covered his lips and smiled, a sly gleam flashed in his eyes, and then turned to the two people in front of him—especially the profile Marchesias bowed gracefully.

"What happened last time, the little girl is very grateful for the help from the Search Bureau. It's just a pity that the family is busy, and I haven't had the opportunity to thank everyone from the Search Bureau in person after waking up. Therefore, I came up to bother you when I ran into you on the road. .As for the joke just now..."

There was a touch of heartache in her eyes, and it was only at this time that she showed a little real feeling, but it was only a little bit, and she still said with a smile on her face.

"The labor fee for the rescue was negotiated the day before yesterday. As a clerk of the search bureau, Ms. Xiwei must have seen the accounts, right? Our family paid a huge sum, and I was afraid of the amount. Just kidding , is it normal?"

What labor fee?

Xi Wei was shocked when she heard this. The moment Ye Du Yu Ya's words came out of her mouth, her first reaction was to be confused, she had no idea what the blonde girl in front of her was talking about. But that's not supposed to happen, she's a clerk in the Bureau of Investigation, and if such an account exists, she should at least know about it and be part of it - but the truth is she knows next to nothing about it .

wrong.

Looking at Ye Du Yu Ya's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, Xi Wei reacted instantly,

She knew I didn't know anything about it, and she came to ask me this question on purpose.

Cold sweat began to break out on Xi Wei's forehead. She suddenly realized that this was an unanswerable question. Her ignorance of this means that it is most likely not [public account]. Regardless of whether this "labor fee" exists or not, it is not convenient for her to give any kind of evaluation at this moment-whether it is to admit or deny.

"That's really not a very funny joke."

So Xi Wei changed the subject flexibly with a straight face, directly bypassing the question, looked at the girl in front of her, and began to shift the topic to her.

"Is Miss Ye Du going out to shop too? Right now, it doesn't look like the time when high school students should be outside the school."

It's more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it is indeed time for school to be over. But students in schools like Noble Women's High School usually have club activities to participate in besides their studies. The children of these high-ranking people will build gorgeous resumes for their future since they were young, and they will not let go of even a little honor in their school days.

"Ah, because our grade will go on a school trip next."

Seeing that Xi Wei didn't get on the set, a trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the blond girl, but she didn't continue to pester her, and quickly replied with a smile:

"The class asked a few of us to come out to purchase some prepared items for the class, so we ran into two of them on the road."

As she spoke, she turned slightly to the side, out of sight so that the two of them could see behind her. There were two young girls wearing the same school uniform as Yedu Yuya, who were sitting on a booth not far away, looking at the search bureau uniform on Marchesias, afraid to go forward.

"School trip?" Xi Wei was stunned for a moment when she heard the words. She was a little surprised by this statement, so she asked, "Do you still have school trips?"

She has also been a student, so of course she knows about the so-called school trips. To put it bluntly, it is just an activity where the school brings young students who have lived on campus for a long time to meet the market. But now Xue Jianze's contact with the outside world has long been severed. At this time... why are you going on a school trip?

"Although I can't leave Xuejianze, school trips are a tradition of Xuejianze Girls' High School." Yedu Yuya explained with a smile: "The school also has the idea of ​​reducing the academic pressure of students, so in this case, it is still in the school. The resort in the north of the city held a week-long school trip."

"North? Oh, that place." Xi Wei quickly remembered the place the girl was pointing at, and nodded thoughtfully, "I have an impression."

"It is indeed a very famous resort. If Miss Xiwei is interested, she can also take time to recuperate. Maybe we will have a chance to swim together."

Yedu Yuya just smiled when he heard the words, the two looked at each other, and saw a fake smile on each other's face.

"...That, classmate Yedu."

While the two were talking, the two students behind Yedu Yuya finally mustered up the courage to speak up, walked a little closer to Yedu Yuya, and looked at Xi Wei and Ma who were facing each other with some fear. Kexias, and then tugged on her cuff lightly.

"We... it's time to go shopping."

When she was talking, she kept peeking at the two of them from behind Yedu Yuya, especially focusing on the badge of the search bureau on Marchesias chest--obviously, they didn't want to have too much trouble with Marchesas and the two of them. long contact.

"Oh, okay." Ye Du Yu Ya knew that there would be no further progress in this conversation, so he nodded to the girl first, then turned to smile at the two investigators:

"I settled the bill for the two of you..."

Seeing that Xi Wei seemed to have changed when she heard the words, before the other party could speak, the blond girl had already spoken first.

"This store is the property of the little girl's family. The two of you are kind enough to save the little girl's life. This is not a precious thing at all. It can also be regarded as the friendship of the landlord. Please don't refuse."

"……I see."

Unexpectedly, a random coffee shop on the side of the road is actually the property of the monthly reading group. Yedu Yuya's words made Xi Wei, who was already in a trance, a little speechless for a while, and could only nod stiffly.

"The little girl is leaving." Yedu Yuya smiled and bowed slightly to the two of them.

"Please also send my regards to Mr. Chief Inspector, Asahina Grand Hotel, don't make people feel sorry. If there is an opportunity in the future, Feather Crow will definitely come to the door with a gift to thank you."

"That kind of thing, let's talk about it when we have a chance." However, Xi Wei just said casually as if she was thinking about something at the moment. She watched Yedu Yuya lead two classmates out of the coffee shop gracefully like peacocks spreading their tails. She couldn't help but raised her hands and rubbed her chin with a thoughtful look on her face.

"... When did they come?"

After a while, she seemed to come back to her senses, and asked Marchesias next to her.

"Just when you went out to make a phone call." The hooded boy who had remained silent all this time answered Xi Wei's question honestly. "They saw me as soon as they came in."

"Is that so..." Xi Wei frowned slightly and nodded slightly.

"Is there any problem?" Looking at her expression, Markesias seemed to be misunderstood, and became vigilant in an instant, his eyes turned like an eagle to the back of the night raven leaving outside the coffee shop.

"Do you think that this meeting was deliberately designed by the other party?"

"No, I didn't mean that."

However, Xi Wei closed her eyes and shook her head, her brows furrowed even tighter, as if she was desperately searching her memory, but she searched her entire brain, but couldn't find the piece of information she was looking for.

"I mean the resort she mentioned... I seem to have some impressions, I seem to have seen it somewhere in the bureau."

"Huh?" Markesias blinked, not understanding where Xi Wei was confused.

"There are a lot of aspects to the files in the bureau, and a lot of things can come up."

"I'm not, alas..." Xi Wei, who was interrupted by the boy's words, sighed helplessly, and rolled her eyes at him.

"Do you know why those two little girls who are with Yedu Yuya are so afraid of us? Because we are members of the search bureau. We come into contact with weirdness, curses, and monsters every day, and what we do is the most dangerous job of Xue Jianze."[ The appearance of a search officer means something weird has happened], so in the eyes of the citizens of Yukimizawa, we are similar to the black cat at night, and it is an ominous symbol."

"Is that so?" Markesias looked at her and blinked innocently. Apparently, this simple boy didn't realize that he was in such danger.

"So for ordinary citizens, it's not something to be happy about the place they're going to be evaluated [with an impression] by a search officer."

Xi Wei looked at the back of Yedu Yuya and two classmates talking and laughing outside the coffee shop, looking a little worried.

"That often means that they are approaching danger."
