at the same time,
On a stage in a square in the west of Sawaya City.
Tokiwa Shougo took his eyes away from the promotional posters of the Rhythm Knights Armored Team posted on the wall, turned off the navigation map on his phone, turned around and said to Tsukuyomi and Gates:
"It seems this is the right place."
Hearing this, Tsukuyomi, who was observing the surroundings, couldn't help but said:
"It's so deserted."
As Tsukuyomi said, the stage was empty, with no dancing notes, no rhythm knights dancing to the beat, and naturally no audience in the square below the stage.
Pedestrians came and went in a hurry, never stopping for the stage without dancers.
"Is it because it's not time to perform yet?"
Regarding this question, Tokiwa Shougo shook his head and replied:
"The promotional posters on the walls are very old."
At the same time, Gates turned back from the edge of the stage, rubbing the dust on his fingertips, and continued:
"The authorization card slot of the stage sound system is also full of dust. This shows that this stage has indeed been idle for a long time."
Tokiwa Shougo nodded and concluded:
"It seems that it was not just the Armored Team that had problems in the first place. Otherwise, the Rhythm Knights would not have declined to the point where no one cares about the stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tokiwa Shogo heard Tsukuyomi suddenly say:
"Zhuangwu, look over there!"
"Huh? What's wrong Tsukuyomi?"
Tokiwa Shougo looked along Tsukuyomi's line of sight and spotted the mature, beautiful woman in professional attire at a glance.
"Huh?"
Tokiwa Shougo's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped off the stage and ran towards the woman.
"Miss Kuzuha, please wait a moment!"
Tokiwa Shougo stopped in front of Kuzu Ye Jing and quickly introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Shogo Tokiwa, and I am a detective."
After saying that, Tokiwa Shougo took out a business card, held the corners with both hands, and handed it to Kuzu Yejing.
Kuzu Yejing looked at Tokiwa Shogo, and the vigilance and defensiveness on his face turned into surprise and confusion after hearing Tokiwa Shogo's self-introduction.
"Hello……"
She bowed slightly, politely took the business card from Tokiwa Shougo's hand, looked down, and the expression on her face suddenly became stiff.
"Demon...Demon King's Detective Agency?"
"That's right, the Demon King's Detective Agency!"
Tokiwa Shougo nodded, affirmatively repeated his name, and then explained calmly.
"Ms. Kuzuha, although the name of our detective agency is weird, we are very capable!
As for the big case reported in the newspapers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department some time ago, our firm helped a lot with the investigation during the cracking process. If you don’t believe it, you can check it now. I am also in the newspaper. Here's a photo with the Chaitian Police Department. "
At the end of his words, Tokiwa Shogo gave a thumbs up and smiled confidently, his teeth shining brightly in Kuzu Ye Jing's eyes.
"Officially certified, no one can be deceived!"
Ge Yejing: "..."
Ge Yejing now no longer doubts whether she has met a liar or a shoe cult propagandist...
She now wonders if the other party is filming some kind of prank show!
Ge Yejing turned her head left and right and looked around, trying to find the photographer who was following her.
But soon, she saw a beautiful girl in white clothes and skirt holding a tablet in front of her eyes.
Ge Yejing was stunned for a moment, and then saw the pretty girl tilting her head slightly in the direction of the tablet.
"Please look here."
Tsukuyomi gestured to Kuzu Ye Akira.
That's right, this beautiful girl is Tsukuyomi who just recovered from the sluggishness.
After Kuzu Ye Jing took the tablet and started reading the content, Tsukuyomi turned back to look at Tokiwa Shougo, with a bit of astonishment in his eyes that had not completely dissipated. After a little interpretation, the meaning of that look was probably:
It turns out that the setting of our detective agency is still there——! !
Not only is it still there,
There are even business cards now!
When did you print it? ?
Gates also looked at Tokiwa Shogo with a similar expression.
Being looked at by Tsukuyomi and Gates like this, Tokiwa Shougo thought for a moment, and before the embarrassment could get any better, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened, slapped his forehead, and said loudly:
"understood!"
He faced Kuzu Yejing again, pointed at Tsukuyomi and Gates in turn and introduced:
"Forgot to introduce, Miss Kuzuha, these two are also members of our detective agency, Tsukuyomi and Gates."
Hearing this, Ge Yejing moved his eyes away from the content of the report that he had roughly read, handed the tablet back to Tsukuyomi, and politely said hello to Tsukuyomi and Gates.
Tsukuyomi and Gates immediately stopped staring at Tokiwa Shougo because they had to turn around and return the favor to Kuzu Ye Jing.
And after Kuzu Yejing, Tsukuyomi and Gates got to know each other, Tokiwa Shougo naturally joined in... Look, a little trouble was solved with Kuzu Yejing's "help".
Tokiwa Shougo smiled and ignored Tsukuyomi and Gates for the time being, only looking at Kuzu Yejing sincerely.
"How? Miss Kuzuye, can you trust me now?"
After a pause, Tokiwa Shougo seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly added:
"Of course, if Miss Kuzuye has any other questions, you can use your mobile phone to search online. I'm fine with it."
Hearing this, Kuzu Yejing, who originally really wanted to search it by himself, gave up the idea and completely believed Tokiwa Shogo.
As a result, Tokiwa Shougo's topic finally entered the stage of "explaining your intention."
He looked into Ge Yejing's eyes and said seriously:
"Ms. Kuzuha, as a member of Sawame City, you must be familiar with the Outlander game, right?"
"Yeah." Ge Yejing nodded.
When answering this question, the strength of her grip on the order in her hand increased significantly, and her expression became uncontrollably nervous and sad.
When Tokiwa Sougo saw this, he didn't show off, but said directly:
"Actually, our firm came to Sawaya City this time because we received an investigation commission related to a disappearance case.
We suspect that these missing people are no longer on the earth, but are lost in the strange space where the aliens are. Therefore, before coming to Zaiya City, we investigated various disappearance cases in Zaiya City over the years, and then , we found...this! "
There was no need for Tokiwa Shougo to signal anything. At the beginning of this sentence, Tsukuyomi had already walked to Kuzu Ye Akira's side and tacitly switched the content screen on the tablet to "The Armored Team disappeared after half of an Outlander game." case reports.
"As far as I know, your brother, Mr. Kuzuye Hongtai is also a member of the Armored Corps, but it seems that he disappeared together with the captain of the Armored Corps before that... Is that so?"
Saying this, Tokiwa Shougo took out from his pocket a missing person notice that he had torn off from a telephone pole on the way here, and opened it towards Kuzu Ye Jing.
And there was still a stack of such missing person notices in Ge Yejing's arms!
