Star Iron: I picked up a secretary at the beginning of March 7th

"A bird plucked out all its feathers, rolled them into a wick, and turned it into a lamp that would never go out."

Liumengjiao, in an inconspicuous alley, the only light source in the darkness is a lantern.

Hualin (?) was holding the lantern in his hand, and he was talking to himself: "Now, we should go find your other two companions."

"I am looking forward to seeing that guy's expression when he sees you. How long can this dream of Pinocchio last?"

After saying that, Hualin (?) put on his hood, put the lantern on his waist, turned around and disappeared into the dark alley.

......

"The evening breeze is still gentle, and the starry sky is still bright." Hualin looked up at the sky, ignoring the gazes of Uncle Yang and the other man beside him, and muttered to himself, "The air here is still comfortable. But the lively girl is gone."

"This matter has passed, there is no need to keep dwelling on it..."

"I don't care about Liuying's safety. I just care about her identity... I'm just a little bit away from finding out."

Hualin kept his head raised, looking at the unchanging night sky, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Do I need to explain the current situation in detail?" Cangye found a small corner on the border of Dream Building. "The target is there, but how do we get there? Oh, yes, considering our identities and influence, forget about the idea of ​​forcing our way in. We need to consider other methods."

As he spoke, Cangye turned his head and looked at Xing, not sure whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally.

"Other ways... Oh, right! Didn't Xing say that he used that... clock trick to make this big brother change his mind last time?" Seeing Cangye looking at Xing, Sanyue also looked at Xing, and then suddenly remembered, "Can you perform it again? That is - the magical magic of the clock boy!"

"Hey~ Don't do bad things."

"Uh... let's put things in perspective!" Sanyue suddenly had an idea and defended herself, "It's just to clear up the misunderstanding, it's not a bad thing, please."

"Hum~"

Xing looked at the Hound member and grinned evilly, causing March and the others to suddenly lose confidence in this idea.

"Hey, I've already told you that the Hound family is investigating ahead, no one is allowed in!" Seeing Xing approaching him, the family member quickly went to rebuke her, but the next second...

"Hmm? Uh... Let me see, what time is it now?" Looking down at the watch on his wrist, the member discovered - "What? It's already time!"

"It's time to get off work! Don't try to stop me--!"

This extremely principled member of the hound family left the scene with a laugh, and the culprit who caused all this just smiled at him.

"One thing is one thing, but I don't know which one to put it into." Seeing such a scary effect, Cangye's mouth twitched involuntarily, "Fortunately, we are in the same group. Otherwise, how can we defend against this...

"Xing, this clock trick of yours is a bit... dangerous. Ha, ha ha." March laughed awkwardly. It was obvious that this clock trick, which no one had imagined, was like this.

"...At least he won't stop us anymore. Let's go find that Gallaher and talk to him about the case in detail." Ji Zi brought the topic back and led everyone forward.

"Why are you so noisy? It's you. Welcome." Gallagher looked at the four people who came to visit. "What's the matter with you all?"

"Hello, Mr. Gallagher. From your tone, you knew we were coming here?"

"Hahaha... Miss Himeko is too polite. You don't have to use the word 'you' to me."

"Oh? Mr. Gallagher still knows my name?" Hearing Gallagher mention her name, Ji Zi was a little curious - could it be that Gallagher had already seen the train files? What about Hualin's smuggling... Did they not know about it, or were they pretending not to know?

"Yes, of course I don't know. You are the famous Star Train, and you are also the honored guest of the watchmaker." Gallagher's expression was calm, and he turned his head to look at Xing. "I also met this lady once at the Golden Hour. I remember that the little girl with silver hair was also there at that time... I feel deeply sorry for what happened to that child."

Gallagher did not mention Hualin, but according to Xing, Hualin was also present at the time. So did Gallagher do this...did he forget or did he do it on purpose?

Ji Zi was a little confused and stood there in a daze for a while.

"This is why we came to visit Mr. Gallagher." Seeing that Ji Zi didn't speak, Cangye took a step forward and said, "We can't just sit there and watch Miss Liuying's death. We decided to help the family find out the truth, hoping to get justice for her."

"The unknown guest of the Star Train has become involved with the family... It's fate."

"Why would Mr. Gallagher say that?" After hearing Gallagher say that fate was playing tricks on people, Ji Zi came back to her senses and asked, "You mentioned family...what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Don't mind it. In Pinocchio, everyone loves family." Gallagher replied calmly, "No matter how much one resists the dream, when the time comes, they will become reluctant to leave. Who would be willing to leave the warm nest? Only fools, children... and drunkards with unclear minds."

"A drunkard with a confused mind..." Noticing that Gallagher paused when he said this, Cangye keenly realized that Gallagher's words had a hidden meaning, "Your words seem to have a hidden meaning."

"Little girl, you misunderstood. I didn't." Gallagher was still calm. "Don't you want to talk about the case? Okay, come with me. This place is not suitable for talking. Let's move to another place."

After saying that, Gallagher turned and left, signaling Cangye and the others to follow him.

"Teacher Jizi, have you noticed something?" Cangye lowered his voice and discussed quietly with Jizi beside him as they walked, "I always feel that Gallagher is avoiding topics related to his family. Could it be... that he has some conflicts with his family?"

"...It's hard to draw a conclusion now." Looking at Xing and Sanyue walking in front, Ji Zi whispered back with some concern, "But as Walter said, the only one we can trust now is ourselves."

"Hmm." Looking at the back of Gallagher in front of him, Cangye muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "This principle seems to be the same everywhere."
