Chapter 140 Sleeping Together Trip (13)
"What? The police station in the city?! Just been released?" Inuyama Ping was too shocked. He hadn't seen Qian Xiaoyi for a day, and he ran so far away. , he asked: "What happened? Did you commit a crime?" "
"No!"
Qian Xiaoyi said on the other end: "Oh~ it's a long story. However, there is definitely something wrong with this village, but I may not be able to go back for the time being. , the bus to the village only leaves once a week, that is, sharing a hotel At the end of the day, there are no cars here willing to go to such a remote place, the road is too circuitous... By the way, I will send you a photo, you go to Ono Harina and ask her to see if she recognizes it. "< br>
The Internet speed in the countryside is very slow, and Inuyama Heita’s mobile phone took a long time to After loading the photos sent by Qian Xiaoyi, Inuyama Heita took a look and saw that it was a strangely dressed scarecrow. He immediately came to the girl's room, knocked on the door, and asked: "Um, is everyone asleep? I I have something to ask Sister Ono.”
Yui Komaeda opened the sliding door and asked vigilantly: "What are you doing? Men, please stop in this room. Do you want to take advantage of it? Sorry, Miyamoto-senpai has already used this trick."
< br>In the room, Suzuki and Ono Harina also looked at him strangely, wondering what this boy wanted to do.
Heita Inuyama took out his mobile phone and said: "I have something urgent to ask Ono-senpai. Has Senior Senpai seen the clothes on the scarecrow in the photo?"
Ono Hina At this time, her mood seemed to have recovered. She came over and said, She took the phone and looked at it doubtfully. After a while, she showed a surprised look: "This is... my clothes from last year?"
Suzuki asked: "Why is Ono-senpai wearing clothes?" On the Scarecrow?”
Ono Hina frowned and thought: "I remember... there was a ritual in the summer festival in the village last year. It was said that throwing old clothes into the bonfire can eliminate bad luck, so I gave a change of clothes to the host. The old man at the festival... but they actually used my clothes as a scarecrow's costume? Forget it, they are just old clothes anyway..." "Is there such a thing? Did you take this photo?" Yui asked.
Heita Inuyama said: "What? Ah, yes, I saw it when I was walking on the roadside. I thought it was a bit strange, so..."
Suzuki looked at Heita Inuyama carefully. Asked: "Speaking of which...where has Mr. Qian gone? I haven't seen anyone from him today."
Heita Inuyama said: "He said he was in a sudden emergency and had taken a bus to a nearby city. Go and get busy. You will meet us in two days.”
Suzuki thought this matter was a bit strange, but did not ask further questions. He just looked at Inuyama Heita, the questioning meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"There's nothing left, so I'll leave first." Inuyama Heita left as if he was running away. Qian Xiaoyi had told him not to make any noise temporarily, so as not to cause panic to others.
After arriving outside the hotel, he continued to talk to Qian Xiaoyi and said: "Brother Yi, I have confirmed that those are Senior Ono's clothes."
"Really? That's troublesome. "Yes." Qian Xiaoyi took his mobile phone and walked on the street full of neon lights, dragging his suitcase and told Inuyama Heita what happened before. Inuyama Heita was extremely speechless: "Being treated as a spy? This is too..."
"In short, it took a lot of effort to clarify." Qian Xiaoyi said: "But it is obvious that they drove me out of the village on purpose to prevent me from continuing to investigate the scarecrow. Even if I can find a car to go back , as soon as I show up, they will force me away again. I'm afraid I have become the most unpopular person in that village."
Inuyama Pingtai asked strangely: "But why? Is there anything strange about those scarecrows? Neither Mr. Ajian nor I noticed anything."
"Because the strange thing is not them themselves, but..." Qian Xiaoyi took out his notebook and opened it. , with dots symbolizing scarecrows painted on it, Qian Xiaoyi immediately took out a pen and connected the dots with lines regularly. As the lines were combined, a complex and mysterious pattern appeared.
Qian Xiaoyi said on the phone: "It's the magic circle. These scarecrows form a magic circle, which makes the whole village form a unique Feng Shui pattern. I'm afraid the village can still be so energetic, not like other villages. The same thing is gradually dying out, it’s all this Thanks to the magic circle. Now it seems that people in the village have begun to use the magic circle to attack outsiders." "What about Ono-senpai?" Inuyama Heita said in surprise: "Why is this village like this? Planting a magic circle?”
Qian Xiaoyi said: "I don't know about this, but one thing is certain. This array has begun to become harmful to target groups such as Ono Hina. Their emotions change too quickly. This It means that the mind is very unstable, and then it is easy to act impulsively and evasively, like a mouse attracted by bait."
Inuyama Heita asked: "Then what should we do? When can we come back? Tomorrow night is the summer festival, maybe they will do something else then."
"I can't come back today." I plan to stay in a hotel for one night and then look for a car to take me back tomorrow. But I can’t show up anymore, so the next step depends on you, Heitaro.”
“Eh? !" Inuyama Heita asked in surprise: "Me? Brother Yi, I can't do it. It's only been a few days since the special training started."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "When I can't intervene. Isn’t that what the assistant does? But if you don’t want to, forget it. The purpose of this village has nothing to do with me anyway. I don’t have commission fees, and it’s none of my business whether Ono Hina stays or goes. Well, I will not attend the summer festival tomorrow..."
"I know, I know, stop talking..." Heita Inuyama sighed: "Then, what can I do?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "When I am not here, you will do it. Complete the rest of the investigation. There are some things that need to be investigated clearly before you know what to do. I will mark a few points for you later. You have to investigate the clothes on the remaining scarecrows before you can determine what I am. Is your guess correct, so be prepared to stay up late? I'm afraid you'll be discovered like me during the day, and they won't be there at night."
"I understand," Inuyama Heita sighed again. He has to stay up late again, he hasn't slept well these days.
Speaking of lack of sleep, a white furry phantom flashed across his field of vision, and cold sweat flowed from Heita Inuyama's forehead. He seemed to have forgotten that he was still in the stage of being "marked" by the foxes. state.
