Forty years later.
At the front desk of Kaitan Coffee Bookstore, Chiyo was making coffee when she received a call from Satomi, "Hey, Satomi, what's the matter?"
Satomi's voice came from the other end of the receiver, "Are you busy?"
Chiyo stirred the coffee with a stirring stick, "It's okay."
"If you're not busy, come with me to see Sister Tang Ze."
"Ah, what happened to her?"
Hearing Satomi's words, Chiyo couldn't help but chuckle, wondering if something bad had happened. After all, Karasawa Makoto is already in her eighties, and Chiyo herself is in her seventies. When they reach their age, they will report to the God of Death at any time.
Satomi said, "She's fine, but I've been feeling a little uneasy since last night. I'm always worried about Sister Tangze, so I wanted to see her."
Chiyo thought about it, since Karasawa Makoto's best friend and manager Juri Takanashi passed away five years ago, Karasawa Makoto's mental state has been having some problems. In addition, Guangchuan Gu Xing has also been missing for many years...
"Okay, let's go together. Are we leaving now?"
"Well, I'll come to you right away."
After saying that, Satomi hung up the phone.
Chiyo stopped stirring and looked thoughtfully at the large photo of the great detective Guangchuan Gu Xing on one wall of the bookstore.
More than forty years ago, after Anda Cat was killed by the Bald-headed Witch, Gu Xing got into an endless fight with the Bald-headed Witch.
From that year on, Gu Xing's shadow would follow wherever the Bald-Headed Witch wreaked havoc.
Sometimes he can protect some people from fatal danger, but most of the time he is unable to do anything, but people still thank him. Because apart from him, no other investigator dared to provoke the Head-plucked Witch.
To this day, his indomitable spirit of fighting against defeat after defeat is well-known in a country that has long accepted the fact that weirdos walk the earth.
Famous writers adapted his deeds into comics, and cartoonists turned them into comics.
In short, he became a big hero and a big star in the investigator world. And his disappearance cast a thick halo of tragedy over his heroic deeds.
At this time, it had been twenty years since Guangchuan Gu Xing disappeared.
According to Chiyo's understanding, Karasawa Makoto has never been able to accept the fact that his beloved disappeared, and has maintained the same habits as when he lived with Gu Xing for twenty years.
In fact, not only Karasawa Makoto, but also Chiyo herself and Satomi, they all became heavy-hearted because of Gu Xing's disappearance.
Chiyo stared at the photo, as if Gu Xing was alive in front of him.
Gu Xingjun, where have you been?
Are you still alive?
"What are you thinking about?" came a young woman's voice from the side.
Chiyo looked at the woman - she was wearing the uniform of Kaidan Bookstore and had a face full of youthfulness.
Once upon a time, Chiyo also had such a face and beautiful appearance.
She is the granddaughter of Midori, an investigator from the Lito Police Headquarters. Midori herself lived a miserable life in her later years due to investigating weird incidents. She didn't want her granddaughter to follow in her footsteps, so she simply sent her to the Kaidan Bookstore.
As we all know, Weird Bookstore is almost an insulator for weird events. In the more than 60 years since Kaidan Bookstore opened, it has never been associated with any Kaidan incident. This has to be said to be a miracle.
"Nothing, I'm going to see an old friend,"
Chiyo said: "I'll leave it to you to entertain today's guests."
…
About half an hour later, Satomi's special car arrived at the entrance of Kaidan Bookstore. She rolled down the window and said, "Sister Chiyo, get in the car quickly!"
"OK!"
Chiyo slowly walked out of the door of the bookstore and carefully got into the trunk.
She looked at Satomi, she and Satomi hadn't seen each other for some time.
Satomi is younger than Chiyo, but she is still in her seventies. But just looking at her figure and appearance, she looks like she is only in her fifties. This is probably because she has been training in the weird investigation class all year round. Those investigators are very Eighty-nine-year-olds look much younger than their peers.
"Satimi,"
Chiyo asked immediately, "Has there been any news about Gu Xingjun recently?"
There is no doubt that the search for Gu Xing has become the top case of the Lidu Police Headquarters, no, even the entire ghost story investigation industry.
"Last week, someone said they saw him at the beach,"
Satomi looked at her, "Our people rushed over quickly, but it turned out to be just a cosplayer. In the past few years, people have called the police every day and said they saw Gu Xing, but they always disappoint people."
"Oh~" Chiyo said.
"lets go,"
Satomi said to the driver: "I died Toyaya, Karazawa Makoto's family."
