Different from the sluggishness of the young man and woman, the onlookers reacted quickly and stepped back one after another to distance themselves from them.
The nearest waiter even jumped a few steps back regardless of his manners.
For ordinary people who do not have the Eye of God and cannot use elemental power, excessive exposure to elemental power will cause harm to the body.
While everyone was watching with vigilance or panic, the young woman was the first to react. She took a deep breath and wanted to explain that the material used in the necklace containing the power of thunder was similar to the stone amber produced in Liyue. , no harm to human body.
But she looked down at the Eye of God in Chiyo Rei's hand and understood that now was not the time to discuss this.
It wasn't a secret that the holder of the God's Eye had elemental vision, so the kid wasn't lying.
As soon as this idea came to mind, the young woman's eyes changed when she looked at the man.
Without giving the man any time to think, the woman reached out to touch his left pocket.
The man instinctively dodges when he sees this, and it is this action that makes the woman's heart sink.
"Tanaka-kun, what's in your left pocket?" The woman shifted her focus from Chiyo Rei and Qingqi Zhe to the man.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the man named Tanaka turned around and ran away.
But as soon as he lifted his feet, he tripped over something and fell hard to the solid wood floor in the corridor.
When the woman saw this scene, she didn't hesitate at all. She turned around and said thank you to Chiyo Rei, who had condensed the power of the thunder element into a rope and tripped the man. Then she quickly held down Tanaka who was trying to get up, and pulled him from the left side of his clothes. He took out a necklace from his pocket.
That necklace is very beautiful, and the purple gems in it are very eye-catching and worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Okay, it's really you." The woman gritted her teeth.
"I...I...Haruko, please listen to my explanation." Tanaka, who was pressed to the ground and unable to move, still wanted to make a final struggle.
This time the woman was unmoved by his sweet words. She put away the necklace and turned to the waiter who was hiding far away to ask someone to come and catch the thief.
The waiter, who roughly figured out what happened, quickly ran away to find help.
A few minutes later, Tanaka was taken away, and all the guests who were watching returned to their rooms. No one thought that they would take a boat trip and watch a scene of catching a thief.
However, these guests did not include Chiyo Rei and Qing Qi Zhe. They waited until everyone around them dispersed before they went over to talk.
"Big sister." Chiyo Rei shouted first.
The extremely angry woman turned her head when she heard the voice, and found that it was Chiyo Rei who stopped her, and she immediately became embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I believed the lies and wrongly blamed you." The woman admitted proactively, without any intention of shirk.
"It doesn't matter." As another victim, Qingqi didn't care very much, "Just find the lost items."
As soon as these words came out, the woman blamed herself even more, "Thank you for forgiving me. My name is Akame Haruko. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved in the future, you can come to me."
Hearing the surname Akame, Chiyo Rei blinked. In the game, the Akame family, Niwa, and Maplehara families are both the founders of the Isshinden among the Thunder and Lightning Five.
And Niwa is the first person to take care of Qingqi in the game. This also explains why Akame Haruko can recognize Qingqi. Probably she had heard of Qingqi Zhe before in Tatarsha, and even met him a few times.
Chiyo Rei's conjecture was immediately verified, only to hear Akame Haruko talk about the cause and effect.
"I am going to elope with Tanaka to Narukami Island this time. For the sake of my future life, he advised me to take away the jewelry I have collected over the years. I didn't want to take more, but I couldn't bear his teasing, so I took it away. I bought the most precious necklace for emergencies."
At this point, Akame Haruko snorted, "Now that I think about it, he was just trying to steal my finances and find another opportunity to leave me behind."
"Then we're going to do it as soon as we get on the boat." Chiyo Rei lamented, and then he asked, "What does this have to do with us? Big sister, why do you think we stole your necklace?" No matter where you look from, , he and Qingqizhe are just passers-by.
Akame Haruko blushed when asked, and she explained in a low voice, "He told me before that he lost the job of casting swords precisely because a person called Qingqi went to the warehouse to steal things."
"I happened to see you when I got on the boat today. After I discovered that the necklace was missing, I couldn't help but think of his words and thought that you had stolen the necklace."
"On impulse, I forced the waiter to check the passenger list and found your room." At this point, she lowered her head deeply, "I'm very sorry for this."
Is that so? Chiyo Rei was speechless. He looked at Qingqi again. Compared to himself, he was not very surprised.
The admirer accepted Akame Haruko's statement and told her the truth, "Those items were actually secretly taken and sold by him. Later, this matter was exposed and he was driven away." That's why he felt that the man looked familiar. They had seen each other in this matter.
"Then he should be driven away. Mr. Niwa is a very fair person." Akame Haruko agreed, and then she frowned, and some rumors came to mind.
But after looking at the stranger, Akame Haruko didn't say what was in her heart. After another apology, she asked to leave.
Qingqi Zhe and Chiyo Rei, who figured out the truth, did not keep her anymore.
After sending Akame Haruko away, they returned to the room.
After this fuss, Chiyo Rei was not sleepy at all. He looked at Qinqi who was slightly absent-minded and couldn't help but ask, "Have you often encountered this kind of thing before?"
Qingqi came back to his senses and shook his head gently, "No." After coming to Taolsha, he lived a very good life. No one made it difficult for him, and everyone was willing to help him.
Looking through the past memories, Qingqi probably understood why he was framed, so he added, "He said it was me who stole things, maybe it was related to the incident in which he was driven away."
"The person who drove him away has a good relationship with you?" Chiyo Rei asked.
"Yes, we have a very good relationship. He is my friend and he used to take good care of me." As he spoke, the curious person lowered his eyes. Maybe Tanaka couldn't find the person he wanted to take revenge on, so he slandered someone who had a good relationship with the person he wanted to take revenge on. he.
Chiyo Rei saw that he didn't want to talk about that friend anymore, so he changed the topic, "That's right. Although the elder sister was very impulsive, she managed to catch the real thief in the end."
If Akame Haruko hadn't had a hot temper and directly confronted her, they might never have known that someone was spreading rumors behind their backs.
Qinqi Zhe thought the same thing. He was about to express his thoughts, but was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
After swallowing the words, Qingqi Zhe and Chiyo Rei looked at each other.
The next second, Qinqi stood up and said, "I'll open the door."
Chiyo Rei nodded, "I'll go too." He doubted whether this would be another unexpected incident.
Fortunately, it was no longer a waiter who opened the door this time, but the housekeeper next to Mrs. Asano.
"Madam, please come over here. You have something to discuss." The housekeeper informed politely.
"Is it related to the big sister just now?" Chiyo Rei blinked and asked. He felt that Mrs. Asano did not seem to be the type who likes to gossip.
The housekeeper replied as usual, "I don't know."
At this time, Chiyo Rei couldn't figure out what Mrs. Asano wanted to discuss.
With this curiosity in mind, he, led by the housekeeper, went to Mrs. Asano's room with Qinqi.
As soon as they entered, they saw Mrs. Asano who had been waiting for a long time and Haru Asano sleeping in her arms.
The housekeeper walked over and took Asano Haru into the inner room.
On the other side, Mrs. Asano glanced at Chiyo Rei, who was with the Qingqi. She hesitated at first, but after a moment of entanglement, she said nothing.
After the housekeeper carried Asano Haru into the inner room and there were only three people left in the room, Mrs. Asano said to Chiyo Rei and Qingqi who were sitting opposite, "I have heard about what just happened. The young lady of the Akame family has always I will definitely pay more attention to this matter in the future.”
"Well, she was bewitched by others, and she didn't mean to slander us." The curious person discussed the matter.
Mrs. Asano smiled and said, "It is true that the young lady from the Akame family has a hot temper and is impulsive, but she has no bad intentions." Then she changed the topic and said, "I also heard about Niwa Hisashi driving him away."
Hearing that name again, the Qinqi was silent.
Sensing the change in Qingqi's mood, Chiyo Rei gritted his teeth and pretended not to know anything and asked, "My eldest sister also mentioned Mr. Niwa, who is he?"
"Niwa Hisahide was the previous Tatar sand forging chief, and he was the person who managed the Tatar sand forging industry." Mrs. Asano first gave a very official answer, and then expressed her personal views on Niwa Hisahide, "He is very responsible. The Tatasha is managed very well.”
The voice paused, and Mrs. Asano said in a regretful tone, "However, he disappeared shortly after Mikage Lushin's incident."
At this point Chiyo Rei can confirm that Mrs. Asano came to them today to discuss matters related to Niwa.
This made Chiyo remind him that he was just a child, while asking in a surprised tone, "How could a person in charge disappear after the big stove accident? Shouldn't he go to help repair the stove?"
"Yes, this is not in line with his style of conduct." Mrs. Asano turned her attention to Qinqi Zhe as she spoke.
When the curious person came into contact with those gazes, he sighed and replied, "I don't know what Mr. Niwa thinks, and he never told me." He has no heart, and naturally he can't see through people's hearts.
It can be said that he did not understand why Niyu suddenly disappeared from beginning to end.
So if Mrs. Asano wants to get some information from him, she may be disappointed.
"That's it." Mrs. Asano was not disappointed, and suddenly mentioned another matter, "Tell me, do you know that the engineer from Fontaine was inquiring about you after you disappeared? "
Before the admirer could respond to Mrs. Asano's inquiry, Chiyo Rei began to get excited. This time, he felt that he was only one step away from the truth.
Clenching his fists in the dark, Chiyo Rei wanted to shout that the murderer was the Fontaine engineer at this moment!
But he can't, because he is a child who doesn't understand anything.
Chiyo Rei suppressed her excitement and watched Qingqi give a negative answer again.
"I didn't know Mr. Escher was looking for me. I don't have a deep relationship with him." The admirer told the truth.
Mrs. Asano was noncommittal. She finally confirmed, "When we first met, you mentioned that one of your friends was worried about excessively increasing forging efficiency. Is that friend Niwa?"
"Yes, Mr. Niwa told me about his worries a long time ago..." Halfway through the words, Qinqi opened his eyes wide, and combined with Mrs. Asano's previous questions and words, an answer was ready to come out.
Mrs. Asano could see what Qinqi was thinking at a glance. She lowered her voice and expressed her opinion, "I suspect that Niwa's disappearance is related to Fontaine's engineers."
Chiyo Rei, who was sitting aside, wanted to jump up and shout, yes, yes, yes, it does matter.
Chiyo Rei suppressed the excitement in his heart. Just when he was about to act as the atmosphere team and asked what the relationship was, Mrs. Asano dropped a bombshell.
"One more thing. Before boarding the ship, I asked someone to find out a piece of news. Someone saw Niyu on Haiqi Island."
This sentence successfully caused Chiyo Rei to lose his expression management ability in an instant. According to the plot in the game, Niwa had been killed by a doctor with the pseudonym Escher, so how could he appear on Haiqi Island?
