Getting out of the black car, Amamiya Chiyuki brushed her hair, lowered the brim of her hat, and started walking towards Chitanda Hon's house.

She has played many roles, but this is the first time for a collateral heir of a large traditional family. The slight vibration of her phone made her glance at the screen. It was Chitanda Eru's message, asking if she was home.

After a simple reply, you can vaguely see the ancient Japanese garden surrounded by pines and dry mountains and rocks.

Embellished with summer greenery, the courtyard of Qingshi Daiwa is even more solemn.

Before I got close, I saw a young and beautiful high school girl jumping out from the shade of the tree. She waved her hands and shouted: "Sister Youxi!! I'm here!!"

Amamiya Qianxue was slightly taken aback. She had seen the photos, but she didn't expect such a lively type. The black-haired girl trotted over, followed by a lazily drooping-eyed boy with his hands in his pockets not far behind.

"Eru? Why are you here?"

As the next family heir, how could she casually come out on such an important Obon Festival.

Chitanda Eru smiled, "I came out secretly to pick up Miss Yuki."

Amamiya Qianxue's eyelids twitched, she wanted to deceive a girl who trusted her so much and was so kind to her?

She is really guilty.

"Thank you, I'll give you a present. Who's behind you?" Amamiya Qianxue glanced at the handsome boy who was following far behind.

The smile on Chitanda Eru's face froze slightly, and she said, "Oreki Houtarou, Oreki-san, a student of the same grade."

Amamiya Chiyuki bowed slightly to him, with a polite smile on her face, "Good afternoon, Oreki-san."

Oreki Houtaro seemed not expecting the other party to be so polite, and he also bowed down.

"Then Yuki-san, do you want to visit first or go back to your home?" Chitanda Eru asked with blinking eyes like glass.

Amamiya Qianxue bowed her head, staring at the shadow dragged by the sun on the ground and said: "Go to the shrine first across the long bridge, and then go back to my home. I didn't catch up with the fire. I have to take a good look at the fire delivery this evening."

"Okay, this year's sacrifice will also start with my father, and there will be lighting after the fire at night. Sister Youxi, how many days of vacation do you have this time?"

Chitanda Eru seemed to be extremely excited, and the shimmering light through the gaps in the leaves cast a golden rim on her body.

But Houtarou Oreki was a little worried, he twisted a strand of hair in front of his forehead, and stared at the two people who had an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.

Although this Chitanda Yuki-san looked very kind, polite and thoughtful, the guard that she didn't see at the beginning was real.

Is it true that all criminal policemen are like this?

The exposed fingertips and the tiger's mouth when holding the gift are covered with thin calluses. According to what Chitanda said, her cousin is a fledgling newcomer. Is it true that there are so many calluses?

He was skeptical.

What's more, when ordinary people see a person who jumps out suddenly, they can't be as frightened as she is almost ready to fight back, which has never been seen in his elder sister.

Is this standard equipment for criminal police?

Oreki Houtaro was still a little skeptical.

But that was Chitanda's cousin, and he had no right to say anything about her family affairs.

Amamiya Qianxue frowned, and could vaguely feel the boy's scrutinizing gaze, which was very similar to the feeling Kudo Shinichi gave her back then. Could it be that the current high school students have full detective skills per capita?

Walking past a green cherry tree and crossing the long bridge, you will find Mizunashi Shrine.

It is also the place where the soul fire of the Obon Festival is stored.

The Obon Festival is an ancient sacrificial festival. At the beginning, it was to greet the fire, that is, to welcome the soul of the ancestors. This evening is to send fire, to send the soul of the ancestors back. If there is a problem with the soul fire today, she will release some news , then the whole town must be in chaos.

Amamiya Qianxue has almost never been to the shrine, but today maybe it was a whim, maybe she wanted to pray for someone, after a special procedure, she stood still, clapped her hands and started to make a wish.

What do you want?

I hope that after she leaves, Matsuda Jinpei can completely...forget about himself completely, be safe and happy, hope that those guys can take care of themselves, not to be in danger, and hope that his little boy won't get into trouble because of her.

Amamiya Qianxue chuckled, she is really a greedy guy, she made so many wishes at once.

Then there was the request for a signature. The moment she got the signature, her heart was beating like a drum, she squinted her eyes slightly and opened it, and then moved her fingers to reveal the words on it bit by bit. First, she saw the word "Ji" at the end. At that moment, her eyes widened suddenly, couldn't she, didn't she get fierce? ?

After fully unfolding, it is "Sueji".

Subtle loss and joy mixed in my heart, an indescribable feeling.

Suoji, second only to Ji's signature.

Is this some kind of omen?

Then there is the purchase of wards, which can be roughly divided into two types, one is "all-round wards", no matter what your wish is, it will help you achieve it, and the other is "special wards", which are divided into academics, relationships, and business. , family, health, traffic, etc.

Amamiya Chiyuki frowned, choosing and choosing, and finally chose five all-round guards, and a pair of bonded guards for officers Takagi and Sato, and healthy guards for the rest of the search team.

Wash your hands and rinse your mouth, bathe in the smoke from the incense burner, salute twice, clap your hands and salute once, ask for a lottery to test luck, and finally buy a shou.

Chitanda Eru was a little puzzled as to why her cousin would go through the ritual of visiting a shrine for outsiders.

"Eru? Then I'll go to worship the soul fire first." Amamiya Chiyuki greeted Chitanda Eru who was a little dazed not far away.

"Okay, do you want me to wait for Sister Youxi to go back to my home?"

"No, you can go to the festival with Oreki-san. When the evening starts, you won't be able to stay with important people when the festival is the busiest." Amamiya Chiyuki shook her head with a smile.

The slightly green high school student was stunned by the straight shot of an adult, how, how, how did Miss Youxi know? ?

Until Amamiya Chiyuki stepped into the interior of the shrine, Chitanda Eru still looked like she hadn't recovered.

Oreki Houtarou came over, "Chitanda? Chitanda? Your face is very red, is it heat stroke?"

"Ah, ah, no, absolutely not." She pulled away suddenly, shaking her head, her eyes drifting.

"Oh, are you still shopping?" Oreki Houtarou turned his head and asked.

Chitanda Eru clenched her fists, her purple eyes sparkled, "Yes! Also, I'm curious about something, I want to ask Oreki-san!"

Houtaro Oreki took a step back, and the iconic expression of "I'm curious" appeared. What could be the curiosity this time?About her cousin?

Although he pursues energy conservation, but for Chitanda, he can not refuse.

The two found a cafe at random, and were about to analyze the current situation, and then they found a commotion in the cafe, and there was a lot of noise. Chitanda Eru watched everyone talking with their mobile phones, and there was something mixed with soul fire. of.

She also took out her mobile phone, and then saw the message from Maya Flower, which was a photo of the soul fire enshrined in the shrine, but the protagonist of the photo disappeared, the soul fire disappeared, and only the metal lamp was left fell to the ground.

She could no longer see the rest of Mayahua's news clearly, only the metal lamp table lying on the wooden board was in sight.

"Snapped!"

It was the sound of a coffee mug falling to the floor.

The crisp sound awakened her consciousness, and she tremblingly said to the surprised boy on the opposite side: "Oreki-san, something happened to Soulfire."

The soul fire was extinguished, and it was man-made, and the news spread all over Gaoshan City. She couldn't imagine what would happen next. What about the fire sending ceremony at night?How to clarify everyone's doubts?What about the TV station?The most important thing is why did the murderer do this?

She couldn't understand, and things she couldn't understand filled her mind.

"Chitanda! Chitanda!" Oreki Houtarou shook the opponent's shoulders, trying to refocus her slack pupils.

Could it be that Chitanda Yuki-san did it?

He couldn't help but jump out of this thought in his mind.

Chitanda Eru dropped the money, dragged the boys around her and started running. The most important thing now is the shrine. As Chitanda Eru, the future heir of the Chitanda family, she must shoulder her own responsibilities.

The entire celebration has become a mess because of the disappearance of the soul fire, and the original excitement has now become chaotic.

Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano, who had been monitoring the cameras all the time, never expected it to go so smoothly.

When the crowd is confused for one goal, those who originally had a purpose in disguise stand out.

The search personnel of those organizations seemed out of place in the chaotic atmosphere, and they were quickly found out one by one.

"Looking at their situation, I guess your sister's whereabouts haven't been found yet." Akai Shuichi comforted the people around him.

Miyano Akemi's heart that had been hanging around was finally let go.

When everyone's eyes were on the shrine, even the police car TV station was going there, Amamiya Qianxue lowered the brim of her hat and rushed to the square, where the giant river lantern used to light the lights tonight was stored. There were guards on the square originally. , but now they are all attracted to the shrine.

Instead, it seemed empty.

Amamiya Qianxue opened the bottle of lemon juice she carried with her, got into the inside of the river lantern, and wrote and drew in it.

It's not that they never thought about asking Akemi Miyano to leave a secret code belonging to their sisters, but considering that both of them have been closely monitored, if the secret code left behind is cracked by others, it will put Miyano Akemi in a difficult situation. In a dangerous place, in the end she chose to keep her and Shirley's secret code.

During the time they got along in Baltimore, only the two of them knew the meaning-Atlantic.

It was also that time that the distance between her and Shirley was shortened.

Shirley, if you are still alive, please persevere.

Thinking this way, Amamiya Qianxue got out of the huge river lantern while there was no one around.

The smell of summer lime fills the nostrils, and also floats in the light air, a feeling of relaxation and joy.

But her keen perception told Amamiya Qianxue that her surroundings were not so easy, someone was following her, she walked a few steps forward, and turned a few corners, the feeling of stalking and peeping still existed.

Because she was going back to Chitanda's house, she didn't hide her face due to her ID card, but simply disguised it with a hat and sunglasses.

So who is the person following her now? ?
