I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 72 1.5 Character
Mu Yegui always said that Mu Yin's personality was like a child's, but in reality, she was the real child.

Mu Yin may be thousands or tens of thousands of years old, but Mu Yegui is only a few decades old. He was a child who was protected and carefully raised by Nalan Xu from the moment he appeared.

In other words, although Mu Yegui is his alternate personality and shares the same body with Mu Yin, Mu Yegui has only been born for a few decades.

In terms of Mu Yin's age, Mu Yegui was actually in his infancy, only a few days old, still a baby.

The one who is truly psychologically mature is Mu Yin. Mu Yin simply pretends to be a child to satisfy Mu Yegui's desire to grow up and become an adult. Mu Yegui wants to grow up and become as powerful as Nalan Xu, so she imitates every action and even habit of humans. Even though she can never experience human emotions, she keeps trying to force herself to do so.

There were many things Mu Yegui didn't understand, but Mu Yin understood them at a glance. However, he never intended to tell Mu Yegui, because it wasn't just Mu Yegui who wanted to protect Mu Yin, but Mu Yin also wanted to protect Mu Yegui.

Mu Yin roughly understood Mu Yegui's dazed state. In the past, when her hair was wet, she could whine to Nalan Xu and have him dry it for her. But Nalan Xu didn't exist in this world, so Mu Yegui was somewhat at a loss; she didn't know what to do.

In the end, she could only stand there dumbfounded. Even though that person was drying her hair just like Nalan Xu, it couldn't attract her attention at all, because this person wasn't Nalan Xu, wasn't hers...

elder sister……

Yes, on the household registration, Mu Yegui is Nalan Xu's adopted sister, but Nalan Xu did indeed raise Mu Yegui as his own child. Mu Yegui also relied on Nalan Xu as her mother, and she was the only person she trusted besides Mu Yin, not even her later caregiver Shan Peining.

"Go take a shower," Shu Ming said softly, tossing the wet towel onto the sofa.

Mu Yegui shifted slightly, raised her head, and gazed at him quietly with her clear, cold silver eyes, as if observing his expression.

Shu Ming smiled gently, his eyes narrowing. "What's wrong?"

"Where?" She had no idea where the bathroom was. Her soft, childlike voice was tinged with confusion and a nasal tone hidden deep inside, as if she had been crying.

"You still have a babyish voice when you speak. You're still a child after all. It seems I was too strict with you before." Shu Ming grabbed Mu Yegui's wrist, opened the bathroom door, pushed her inside, and then closed the door.

"You should know how to use the shower supplies, right? I haven't even worn that shirt yet; it's just sitting on the sink. I'll call and have someone buy you some clothes right away," Shu Ming said, standing in front of the bathroom door. His emerald-clear eyes were quietly watching the towel draped over the sofa not far away, his expression complex.

He originally planned to scare the first discoverer and take the opportunity to learn some information, but he didn't expect to find nothing. He could only take the person home and control him temporarily. However, he now realized that he had just picked up a child and taken him home. Maybe he should just send him back.

He quickly changed out of his wet clothes, then went to the phone and dialed a number.

"Conier? Do you have clothes for children? For kids who are about 1.6 meters tall..."

In the bathroom. "What do you plan to do?" Mu Yin asked with a complicated expression.

“Fishu said the puzzle box isn’t at Detective Flavro’s house. We were originally planning to go there to look for it, but now I think sneaking into Mr. Shu Ming’s study might be a good option. I suspect he’s involved in Detective Flavro’s injury, even if it’s not a direct connection, it’s at least indirect.” Mu Yegui looked down at his bare feet and said slowly.

It wasn't really acting; she didn't realize what was happening at first, but she calmed down after entering the bathroom.

“Shu Ming isn’t that stupid. If he really took the mechanism box, he would never leave it at home,” Mu Yin denied.

"But what if he did it on purpose? Otherwise, why would he deliberately threaten me with a gun that wasn't equipped with a silencer, and then bring me back? If he did this on purpose so that I would discover the mechanism box, then everything would be clear." Mu Yegui turned on the shower and pretended to be taking a shower, while he stood in front of the sink and opened the locker door.

"Shu Ming probably doesn't know about the existence of the mechanism box."

Behind the locker door were many gold bars. Mu Yegui stood on tiptoe and picked one up. He saw that it was engraved with the letters 'RRSQQ', but there was nothing else on it.

Why put gold bricks in the bathroom? That's a really strange arrangement.

Mu Yegui put the gold brick back and closed the locker door, slowly saying, "Have you forgotten? The initial information was obtained from the police, and the photo of the puzzle box was the only one unrelated to the phantom thief. If it wasn't accidentally put in, then it was intentional. Thinking a bit deeper, perhaps he thought Detective Flaro wanted the information, so he deliberately mixed the photo in, then he was attacked, and the photo was left at the crime scene. Everyone would suspect the previous case, making the puzzle box the most important piece of evidence. But unfortunately, it was Fisch who wanted the information, so the photo didn't appear at the crime scene. The expected thing didn't happen, which is why he came to me."

"He thought you took this photo?" Mu Yin asked in surprise.

“Yes. But in fact, for whatever reason, this photo is indeed with me.” Mu Yegui took out the soaking wet photo from his pocket, but because the photo was wet from the rain, its original appearance was completely unrecognizable.

Is this puzzle box really that important?

"I think the important thing is the person behind the puzzle box. Shu Ming wants to track down this person." Mu Yegui paused, then said, "To reorganize the thought process, Shu Ming wanted to track down the person behind the puzzle box, but had to give up because the previous case ended hastily. At this time, Detective Flaro came to apply for information on the phantom thief, so Shu Ming decided to go all out and sneak in the photos, then hire someone to attack Detective Flaro, thereby drawing out the importance of the puzzle box. However, in the end, not only the information but also the photos were gone. He thought of me, the first discoverer, and decided to try to find some clues from me."

Detective Flalor's being stabbed on the back of the head three times was something he probably didn't anticipate, meaning there was someone else involved. I suspect the puzzle box was with him because if there were photos of the puzzle box at the crime scene, and the box itself is missing, it would definitely attract attention and lead to a large-scale search. This would make it much easier to expose the person behind the puzzle box.

However, all of the above are just Mu Yegui's speculations. The specifics can only be confirmed by her own confirmation, and it is even possible that all of her current speculations will be overturned.

"Shu Ming has gone out. Let's go to the study to check on him." Mu Yegui said slowly as she turned off the shower after hearing the door close.
