Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 42 Investigation

Sewing Leaf and Hibiscus Orange have reached the destination given by Aquamarine.

It turned out to be a residential community.

The two women could already see a blue figure waiting for them on the roof of one of the residential buildings in the distance.

Two magical girls descended from the sky and came to Shui Lan's side.

"What's going on?"

Fengye stepped forward quickly and asked first.

"Red Flame has found a clue from the police. I'll take you to her house now; it's in this building."

"Why would you get involved with ordinary people?" Fengye couldn't help but ask.

In this world, the police usually deal with crimes committed by ordinary people. Although there are a few mages in the police force, it's only to make it easier to deal with ordinary criminals.

When a mage commits a crime, the Magical Girl Association usually takes action. Even in its branches in various regions, many members of the association are mage.

If a mage commits a crime against an ordinary person, the punishment is extremely severe once caught; therefore, it is rare for a mage to commit a crime.

Another reason is that even the most powerful magical criminals cannot escape justice, because they are always hampered by magical girls. When the association is helpless against them, they will turn to the magical girls for help, and what awaits them will be the punishment of justice.

Shui Lan led the two into the elevator, explaining as she did so.

"Chiyan's father is the city's sheriff; we'll find out soon enough."

After getting off the elevator, Shui Lan arrived at a security door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and Chi Yan greeted the three of them with a happy expression.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The four people sat down on the living room sofa. A well-maintained young woman came up with tea. "This is the first time I've seen so many magical girls. Are they all Little Red's friends?"

Little Red...

Aside from Shui Lan, everyone else found this name rather novel.

Seeing the tense expressions on their faces, Chi Yan quickly pushed her mother away, "Mom, this is none of your business, go and do your work."

"Then I won't bother you any longer, you can chat at your leisure." Little Red's mother walked away with a smile.

The living room fell silent. Fengye looked around and asked, "Is your father not home?"

"He's busy with work and doesn't come home often," Chi Yan waved her hand. "But we don't need him. I've already gotten what I needed."

As she spoke, she took out a small black square box and placed it on the glass coffee table.

"What is this?... " The group stared at the small square box.

"Body camera".

Chi Yan gathered the group around her, their heads huddled together. She held up a finger and, under their watchful eyes, slowly clicked play.

.

In contrast to the tense atmosphere here, in another room far away, the atmosphere was one of romance and beauty.

"Well……"

"Hiss... Silly boy, don't use your teeth."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Master, you can practice with me a few more times."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

After Tang Feng finished speaking, he whispered in the girl's ear, "You said before that you're open to a lot of new ways to play?"

Jinju's chest rose and fell slightly, just the right amount of movement, and after a moment, she nodded gently.

The skin on Tang Feng's shoulder blade suddenly split open, and several long shadows flashed by.

Jinju suddenly realized that she could no longer move her limbs without her noticing. The next moment, she slowly rose from the bed into the air.

Tang Feng smiled slightly, "How could a magical girl be complete without this?"

Dark clouds drifted over at that moment, blocking the bright moonlight.

It's like a thin curtain has been lowered, isolating the view inside the bedroom from the outside world.

Jin Cheng suddenly raised her head and looked out the window.

"What's wrong?" Fengye asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's nothing," Jin Cheng shook her head.

For some reason, she had just felt a slight flutter in her heart, and the moon, obscured by dark clouds outside the window, added to her unease.

"Let's go back soon," Jin Cheng said.

"Don't rush, we haven't seen the crucial part yet."

The group continued to huddle together, watching the small screen on the square box.

This is a typical police investigation perspective, following the squad as they chase several fleeing individuals through an alley.

Upon closer inspection, a little girl who was unconscious was being carried on someone's back.

Child trafficking? Or kidnapping? The magical girls wondered to themselves.

Finally, during the police investigation, someone pulled out a handgun.

A person in front immediately turned around, a faint magical glow rising around him. An unknown force suddenly appeared, knocking the pistol out of the police officer's hand.

"Does magic make people commit crimes?"

"It seems so."

"But what does this have to do with Liuhuang?"

As soon as Shui Lan finished speaking, a golden figure appeared on the screen. Without a doubt, this was the image they had been waiting for.

The magical girls stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing a single detail.

Upon seeing the magical girl arrive, the criminals scattered and fled into the depths of the intricate alleyways.

The girl with golden hair immediately rescued the little girl and then handed her over to the police.

The moment the girl turned around, her face appeared on the recorder. Although it had already been confirmed before, her appearance now further confirmed that it was indeed Ryuki.

After exchanging a few words with the police, Liu Huang turned around and rushed deeper into the alley, in the direction the magician had fled.

Her figure quickly disappeared around the bend in the alley.

Meanwhile, the police went to several other alleys to hunt down the ordinary criminals who had escaped.

That concludes the useful information.

"What do you mean?" Fengye pointed to the small square box. "What does this prove?"

"Look at the date in this record," Chi Yan said.

Shui Lan leaned closer, looking at the tiny numbers on the small screen.

"This was the day before Liuhuang went missing!"

"Yes." Chi Yan nodded. "The next day, we contacted her as usual, but we didn't receive a response. We didn't think much of it at the time, after all, Liu Huang is an A-rank, stronger than all of us, maybe she's off on something important."

"We lost contact with her after that," Shui Lan added. "The time on the recorder was around 6 p.m., and we sent her a message the next morning, but she didn't reply."

"In other words, something must have happened that night."

Seiba found the absurdity of the matter somewhat amusing. "A magical girl, chasing after a mage, and then just disappearing?"

Shui Lan nodded. "It's hard to believe, but it's true, and it's difficult to explain with any other reason."

"There was no news of any calamity beasts appearing that night, nor was there any strong magical fluctuation. It was as if she had vanished into thin air."

With her hands crossed and resting on her chin, Fengye said, "The power to make an A-rank magical girl disappear into thin air is quite rare."

Jin Cheng recalled that terrifyingly powerful monster and couldn't help but say, "It must be it."

Fengye remained noncommittal. She stared at the small square box on the coffee table and said, "But we've come full circle. Didn't we already conclude from the beginning that her disappearance was related to that strange man? This recorder doesn't provide any more information."

"No." Chi Yan reached out and put the recorder away.

"My father said it was an organized crime gang that the police had been hunting down. There were several criminals who were wielders of magic in the gang, and what we saw was just one of them."

"So what if there are more mages? They can't even fool a C-rank magical girl." As she spoke, Seiba suddenly remembered something, "By the way, was that mage in the recording ever caught?"

Chi Yan shook his head. "No."

"This is interesting," Fengye mused. "Liuhuang has already chased after him, so he should be able to be apprehended within minutes."

"It seems that the changes occurred earlier than we thought."

"Maybe something happened in the alley back then."

"Should we go take a look? There might be some clues left there."

The magical girls exchanged a few words.

"Do you know where that alley is?" Fengye asked Chiyan.

After receiving Chi Yan's affirmative reply, Feng Ye stood up and stretched.

"Set off."

Several streaks of colorful light streaked across the sky. Jin Cheng glanced in the direction of her home, then turned around and followed the streaks of color ahead.

.

The next day, Tang Feng yawned in his office.

This was the first time he had been late since he started working.

Last night made him so happy that he forgot all about home; it had been a long time since he had relaxed so completely.

He has been playing the human identity of Tang Feng all along. Although he has gotten used to it and integrated it into daily life, his eccentric nature cannot be completely eliminated.

Finally, in front of the poor girl, he revealed himself to his fullest extent.

The price to pay is that there is one more empty seat in the classroom today.

Just as Tang Feng was savoring the wonderful experience, there was a knock on the office door.

Shengxue walked in, looking somewhat uneasy. "Teacher, Ziwan suddenly fainted."

"Even magical girls can't find the cause?" Tang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, and followed Sheng Xue to check the situation.

"A magical girl isn't a doctor," Shengxue said, pouting slightly. "She's in the infirmary right now and hasn't woken up yet."

Thinking back to the unexpected discovery he made about Ziwan, Tang Feng decided to send Shengxue away.

"Okay, you go back to class. I'll go by myself."

Then, under Shengxue's resentful gaze, Tang Feng left Shengxue and went to the infirmary alone.

Soon, he arrived at the door of the health room. He knocked on the door, pushed it open, and a strong smell of alcohol and disinfectant hit him.

It seems that Ms. Yuna has done something inside recently; the last time I came here, the hospital smell wasn't this strong.

"You've come at the right time. One of your students has fainted, and I can't figure out the cause. Please take her to the hospital as soon as possible."

A young woman with a proud figure, wearing a white lab coat, came forward to greet us.

Tang Feng glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the girl who was lying unconscious on the bed.

"Even Yuna-sensei can't find the cause? You're a rare magician-doctor."

"The vital signs were all normal during the checkup, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Yuna approached Tang Feng, whispered in his ear, "Maybe it's a heartache."

"So, this falls under my purview again?"

"Anyway, they're students in your class, so figure it out yourself."

Yuna twisted her waist, preparing to leave the infirmary. As she reached the door, she turned back and casually said, "It's the weekend tomorrow, want to grab a drink?"

"Feel sorry."

"As far as I know, you're probably single, so you don't need to worry about your girlfriend minding."

"But there are too many girls in the world who want to marry me, and I'm afraid they'll be heartbroken."

"Never serious."

Yuna left with the perfect model walk.

Tang Feng shook his head with a sigh. Although Yuna was quite good—young, wealthy, with a great figure and striking looks—it was a pity she wasn't a magical girl, and at her age, she had lost the chance to awaken.

The older one gets, the more difficult it is to awaken magical girlhood. The golden age for magical girl awakening is between twelve and eighteen years old. Those over twenty years old basically lose the possibility of becoming a magical girl in their lifetime.

Magical girls generally start to lose their magic around the age of twenty-five, reaching the age of retirement, and at most they won't be older than thirty.

His professional career was very short.

However, the Magical Girl Association will also arrange a good place for retired magical girls so that they can live out their remaining years without worry, in gratitude for their contributions to protecting humanity.

The principal of this magical girl academy is a retired magical girl who has made many outstanding contributions to the city.

Tang Feng's gaze returned to the girl in front of him.

He stepped forward and placed his palm on the girl's forehead.

"Ziwan, it's time for you to wake up."
