Osaka, Yamagata Prefecture Ski Resort, Bags Specialty Store.
"Boss, do you have this kind of bag for sale here?"
As Chen Anxia said this, she handed the close-up photo of the bag in her hand to her boss.
The owner of the bag shop didn't doubt him, so he took the photo and looked at it.
Upon seeing this, the owner of the bag shop was stunned and subconsciously said, "How could it be this kind of bag?"
Then, the owner of the bag shop said to Chen Anxia, "Sorry, we don't have this type of bag for sale in our store now."
As he said that, the bag shop owner pointed to other bags in his store and continued, "This bag is already an old model four years ago. We now have the latest best-selling bags in our store. Do you want to take a look?" one time?"
In response, Chen Anxia did not answer, but continued to ask, "Boss, your memory is very good. You can actually remember that this bag is an old model from four years ago."
After seeing this, the film director Lu Ren couldn't help but secretly praise Chen Anxia's communication skills in his heart. He also deeply felt that Chen Anxia had maturity and ability that were beyond his age.
Just now, if Chen Anxia directly rejected the boss, then the boss might not be interested in Chen Anxia and would not want to answer Chen Anxia's questions.
But just now Chen Anxia did not agree or reject the boss, which made Chen Anxia still a potential customer in the boss's mind.
I believe that any store owner will be willing to communicate with potential customers, thereby converting them into real customers.
As expected, the bag shop owner was happy to communicate with Chen Anxia. After hearing Chen Anxia's question, he directly answered, "Because this bag was the best-selling model four years ago, I remember it very clearly."
"It's just that after the case, the sales of this bag dropped rapidly, and in the end no one was willing to buy this bag."
"So our store has since removed this bag from the shelves."
Chen Anxia's expression did not change when he heard this, and asked again, "Boss, do you still remember the size of this bag?"
"The size of the bag in the photo can only barely fit a child. Is there a similar bag that can fit an adult?"
Chen Anxia's question made the bag shop owner stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Chen Anxia with a strange expression. He obviously didn't expect Chen Anxia to ask such a strange question.
However, the bag shop owner was very impressed by this bag, so he responded without any hesitation, "Yes, this bag is the largest size and can easily fit an adult with a curled up body."
When Chen Anxia heard this, his eyes suddenly condensed.
Chen Anxia already knew how the murderer appeared out of thin air next to Mizumi Erlang who was supposed to be riding the cable car alone.
Immediately, Chen Anxia will turn this information into data and add it to the scene model in his mind.
Then, Chen Anxia saw the murderer appearing on the cable car going down the mountain from a God's perspective in the scene model in his mind.
It's just that in the scene model, the murderer's appearance is blurry, as if he is completely hidden in the darkness, and only a dark humanoid outline can be seen.
This is so because the data is not complete enough.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia left the bag shop and walked towards the cable car of the outdoor ski resort.
Seeing this, the people from Pianpinlu followed him directly, leaving only the bag shop owner with a stunned look on his face.
In the end, the owner of the bag shop shook his head slightly and muttered, "What a pity. He looks so handsome, but he has something wrong with his brain..."
On the way to the ski resort cable car, Chen Anxia learned from the film crew about the situation of the crew where Mizuki Erlang was working.
Through the movie Luren, Chen Anxia learned that the crew that Mizuki Erlang was in back then came to this ski resort to shoot a horror movie related to the legend of the snow girl here, called "The Monster of the Snow Girl".
At that time, Jiro Minakami was the stand-in for the male protagonist of the horror movie "The Monster of the Snow Girl".
After knowing this information, the corners of Chen Anxia's mouth curled up slightly, feeling that she was getting closer to the truth of the puzzle.
In addition to filming the horror movie "The Monster of the Snow Girl", the crew also came to this ski resort again the following year, three years ago, to shoot a love movie called "The Love of the Snow Girl".
It is worth noting that the movie "Yuki-on-chan: Love" refers to the legend of the snow-on-girl, which is different from the legend of the snow-on-girl in "The Monster of the Snow-on-Girl".
To put it bluntly, there is another version of the legend of the Snow Girl circulating on this mountain.
The story happened on a snowstorm night. A man named Mokichi met a very beautiful woman with long hair and wearing silver clothes on his way home from the mountain.
After discovering Mokichi, the woman looked at Mokichi with pleading eyes and said to him, "I sprained my foot and can't walk a step. Can you please take me home?"
Mokichi asked the woman where she lived, and the woman silently pointed her finger down into the dark forest where there was heavy snow and no mountain roads.
Seeing this, Mokichi immediately agreed, "Okay, I understand."
Then, Mokichi asked the woman to sit in the cage on his back and walked directly into the mountains.
However, after Moji walked for a long time, he saw that the snow on the ground was getting deeper and deeper, but he still couldn't see any houses.
Seeing this, Mokichi asked, "Am I on the right track?"
The woman just nodded silently without answering.
The woman was waiting, waiting for the moment when Mokichi was exhausted and left him alone.
Yes, she is actually a snow girl who specializes in luring men into remote mountains where there are few people around, and then absorbs their souls when she is exhausted.
It didn't take long for Mokichi's pace to slow down. After a while of silence, he shouted in a weak voice, "Girl..."
As if she was waiting for these words, the woman smiled and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"
Mokichi was panting and forced his voice out, "Are you cold?"
Mokichi's unexpected question made the woman confused and speechless.
Mokichi, on the other hand, tried to move his legs that were already numb from the cold, and continued to ask, "Isn't it hard to stay in the cage?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Just be patient for a while and it will be fine. Hold on, you must hold on!"
To this, the woman just answered 'yes' all the way, but her voice became weaker and weaker, and finally became silent.
Seeing this, Mokichi was worried, stopped, and turned to look into the cage.
At this glance, Mokichi discovered that the woman with dragon power was gone, leaving only a large amount of snow wrapped in the silver dress she was originally wearing.
This version of the story is more like a poignant love story than the other terrifying version of the Snow Maiden legend.
The end of the story is that the snow girl's long-frozen heart is melted by Mokichi's warm and sincere heart.
And this poignant snow girl story made Chen Anxia's eyes become darker and darker, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
On the other side, Hattori Heiji, who was about to take the cable car up the mountain for skiing, suddenly spotted Chen Anxia.
Naturally, Hattori Heiji also discovered Katana Rikuto who was following Chen Anxia step by step.
Although Hattori Heiji is only a junior high school student who calls himself a detective, his reasoning ability is not weak.
He roughly judged the occupation of the Katipin Luren based on their dress and behavior.
Seeing this, Hattori Heiji frowned slightly and murmured with a puzzled look, "That person should be a detective, right? Why is Chen Anxia with the detective?"
As he said this, Hattori Heiji, who became increasingly curious, decided to follow him secretly to find out.
The gears of fate have begun to turn...
