Ryu Akamatsu came to Tokyo from Yokohama by car.

In the car, Akamatsu sends a text message to a person he met by chance.

That person was Koizumi Hongzi, her ancestors were magicians, but it was passed down to her generation, Koizumi Hongzi was no longer able to perform even a single magic trick.

However, Koizumi Scarlet Letter is very talented in divination. Even without magic power, the spirituality rooted in her blood makes her divination rarely make mistakes.

Chimatsu met her by accident, and heard that she had many magic items handed down by her ancestors, so she asked her to buy some old items from time to time.

Since Akamatsu Ryu had a lot of things to do in Tokyo this time, he reckoned that he would stay in Tokyo for half a month to a month, and when things were done, Atsushi Nakajima would also have a final exam.

The time from Yokohama to Tokyo is not too long. Akamatsu Ryu came here early in the morning, and it was only around eleven o'clock when we got off the bus.

He went to the grocery store run by Koizumi Hongzi. Koizumi Hongzi usually went to school, and the store was managed by an old housekeeper.

When Chisongliu passed by, the old housekeeper didn't recognize Chisongliu.

It wasn't until Chisongliu showed the token that the old butler looked at Chisongliu in shock.

Never thought of it!This is a lady boss! !

"...You have changed too much, please forgive me for not recognizing it for a while." The old butler took off his glasses and wiped them. After putting them back on, he regained his composure: "Miss is still at school, she will come back early in the afternoon, you Can I see three o'clock?"

Chimatsu Liu smiled slightly: "It's okay, I can go to have lunch, and then take a look around the store."

The blonde made an appointment with the old butler, and went to a nearby sushi restaurant to eat sushi first.

While Akamatsu Ryu was eating sushi, a message was playing on the nearby TV.

It is said that the directors of the Suzuki Foundation will hold an exhibition in the Suzuki Museum recently, and the project of the exhibition is the red-faced mermaid!

Akamatsu Ryu eats sushi, mermaid?Mermaid scales are good magic materials!

But then the so-called red-faced mermaid was shown on TV, which was actually a turtle with diamonds on its body.

The corners of Chi Songliu's mouth twitched. He was not interested in turtles, but the red crystal stuck to the back of the turtle was not small. If it was raised in an Indian sanctuary, it might be useful.

Moreover, the back of the tortoise had a red crystal attached to it, and several diamonds, some white and some blue, were attached to its belly.

According to the news, this tortoise originally belonged to an Italian actress who was shipwrecked at sea. Before she died, she hoped that her tortoise would live, and she also sent a lot of fees for raising the tortoise—those who stuck to the tortoise shell on gems.

After hearing this news, Akamatsu Ryu couldn't help feeling that there are so many strange people in the world, and that actress definitely has true love for her turtle.

After lunch, Akamatsu Ryu went to the store again.

The shop is not too big, the shelves are very tall and old, and there are many bottles and cans and all kinds of strange things on it, most of which are second-hand groceries purchased by the shop, and only a small part belongs to the family heirloom of Hongzi Koizumi collection.

Standing in front of an inner shelf, Akamatsu Ryu took out the box inside and opened the lid. Inside was a lacquered black feather. The color of the feathers was found to be wrong.

The feather was indeed black, but only half of it was black, and the remaining black should belong to the black red after the blood dried up, but the light in the store was dim, which made it look like a completely black feather.

Chisong moved his nose, and he used magic to enhance his sense of smell, and he keenly captured a trace of distant sweetness. He looked at the roots of the real feathers, which were crystal clear, as if fake plastic.

Just when Chisongliu guessed that the feather was probably the feather of some kind of large poisonous creature, an old and elegant voice sounded: "Miss, can you let me go?"

It was only then that Akamatsu Ryu noticed a person standing in front of the bookshelf.

Chi Songliu frowned slightly, perhaps the shop had lit aromatherapy, which blurred his perception acuity, or it could be that this person's breath was wrong.

Hassan: [It's true that the breath is wrong, it seems to blend with the breath of this shop, is he a magician like you? 】

Akamatsu Ryu: "It's unlikely."

He did not notice the other party at first, but now that Akamatsu Ryu has locked onto this person, it is natural to judge that this person cannot be a magician.

"Maybe it's a person with supernatural powers who hide their own aura."

Chimatsu Liu answered Hassan inwardly, with an apologetic smile on his face: "Sorry, I was a little attracted and didn't notice you."

Because the gap in the middle of the shelf was small, only enough for one person to pass through, Akamatsu Ryu closed the lid and put the box back on the shelf.

He walked towards this person.

This person is an old-fashioned and elegant looking old man in a gray and black loose jacket.

The old man has a pair of muddy yellow eyes, gray hair, a pair of glasses, a dark blue striped scarf, and a scarlet mask around his waist. His gestures are calm and deep.

"You're welcome."

The old man looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him, showing a soft smile.

"I am also attracted by the mysterious things in this store from time to time. It is extremely lucky for me to meet someone who feels the same way."

When the old man laughed, there was even a small dimple on his cheek, with a bit of innocent childishness. If an ordinary woman saw such a kind old man, she would definitely feel close to him.

Chisong Liu raised his eyebrows slightly.

The sense of déjà vu of this smile is so strong that Hassan couldn't help but say: [You must have met someone like you, right?His smile is too similar to the way you fooled people. 】

Akamatsu Ryu immediately showed the same gentle smile, and was even a little surprised: "Really? Do you think so too?"

He lowered his head slightly, showing a troubled expression: "In the past, when I went back to buy things here, my friends would always laugh at me, saying that I was cheated or something, but I don't think that's the case."

Then Akamatsu Ryu seemed to have found a bosom friend, and said happily: "It's great to meet someone who feels the same."

The old man let out a low laugh, and he introduced himself: "Old man Jingji Xiayan, may I ask you how to address you?"

"My name is Ryuko Nakajima." Akamatsu Ryu replied, but he asked Hassan in his heart, "I think this name sounds familiar."

But any name that makes him feel familiar is not a guy easy to deal with.

[Congratulations, you have met a wanted criminal on the secret service list. 】

Hassan gloated and said: 【However, this guy is too smart and has never left any evidence, so that the Secret Service can only report and investigate internally, but cannot really arrest Kyogoku Xia Yan. 】

[Because Kyogoku Xia Yanming is a well-known folklorist on the surface, and has a lot of influence in the academic circle. 】

"Folklorist?" Akamatsu Ryu immediately asked, "Which field do you study?"

Hassan: [Wait a minute, I'll let the split phantom check in the information library. 】

When Hassan checked the database, Akamatsu showed a look of surprise: "Mr. Kyogoku? Is that Mr. Kyogoku I know?"

Kyogoku Natsuhiko was also surprised: "Miss Nakajima, have you heard my name?"

Hassan read the information: [Jingji Xiayan, a visiting professor at XX University, has in-depth research on lodging studies, especially the theory of monsters. He has repeatedly conducted academic investigations in places where monsters are legendary, and published many important academic papers. There are "XX" and "XXXX"...]

Akamatsu Ryu's brain turned rapidly, and he read the title of the article that Hassan said, and then said that he had read Kyogoku Natsuhiko's article, and he was very interested in the monsterology described by Kyogoku Natsuhiko.

Kyogoku Natsuhiko probably didn't expect that the fan in front of him was a Xibei product. He originally came to this grocery store that occasionally sells items in the gray area, but he didn't want to meet a lady who was also interested in monster studies.

So Kyogoku Natsuhiko invited Akamatsu to chat in a nearby tea room.

Akamatsu Ryu readily agrees.

While walking and chatting, Hassan has quickly finished reading the article written by Kyogoku Natsuhiko, and then talked about Kyogoku Natsuhiko's internal files in the Secret Service.

Hassan reminded Akamatsu: 【Be careful, it is said that Kyogoku Natsuhiko will manipulate people's hearts, making people fall into the devil unconsciously and become a murderer. evidence. 】

Akamatsu said calmly: "Then read the information about me."

Hassan looked at the content longer than Kyogoku Natsuhiko without a word, and decisively closed the page of the database.

He said: [Then you will meet a colleague, let's have a pleasant chat. 】

Akamatsu Ryu: "I think so too."

Akamatsu Ryu followed Kyogoku Natsuhiko to the tea room, ordered tea, and the two began to chat about monsters.

Kyogoku Natsuhiko described a lot of legendary monsters, such as Kappa, Natsuhiko, Yatengu and so on. Akamatsu Ryu thought he was listening to monster novels. Then Kyogoku Natsuhiko changed his voice and asked Akamatsu Ryu what he thought about it What do you understand?

Akamatsu Ryu doesn't know much about the monsters in the island country, but it doesn't matter, he is very familiar with all kinds of fantasy species and magical creatures in Europe!

Akamatsu Ryu began to talk about the archetypes of magical creatures in Western fantasy novels, such as nightmares, red dragons, unicorns, and flower fairies.

It was only then that Kyogoku Xiayan discovered that although this lady had a general understanding of domestic monster theory, she had an in-depth study of Western mysticism!What a fellow!

So the two of them really started chatting.

On the other side, Osamu Dazai was invited to the Ministry of Internal Affairs building by the farming chief. He sat on the chair in front of the desk, crossed his legs, and said leisurely, "Partner? Who is it?"

"Here's his information." Chief Farmer said with a smile, "He's the trump card of our Secret Service."

Osamu Dazai blew a whistle. After he took the document and read it at a glance, his expression changed slightly: "Murder detective? Another ability, can the prisoner die under a series of coincidences?"

Osamu Dazai looked at the long death list of prisoners in the appendix, and expressed emotion: "Ah, that's great, this way of dying is so interesting."

Chief Tantian smiled, pretending he didn't hear: "You have nullified your ability, and Ayatsuji Xingren's ability doesn't work on you. Don't you want to take a closer look at him?"

Osamu Dazai shook the information in his hand, and looked at the farming chief with a half-smile: "Because his ability is uncontrollable, you are also very distressed? Few of the officials sitting on the top seat are innocent .”

As long as someone offends the interests of the group and directly asks Ayatsuji pedestrians to solve the crime, the target can die accidentally. This pawn is really useful.

The author has something to say: Natsuhiko Kyogoku, the nemesis of Ayatsuji pedestrians!
