Making Honkai Impact 3, my partner is the fairy Ellie

"Yuan, I followed your instructions and secretly investigated the passengers on the train."

Hua paused for a moment and turned to the next page of his notes.

"As you expected, this train is not Tianming's property. The passengers are a mixed bunch. Moreover, the biggest suspect in the jewelry theft case, Padre Felice, is on this train. For this reason, I have not alerted her for the time being."

“Well…Hua, you did a great job.

"But first, call Theresa, the senior officer in the police station, and ask her to help verify a few things."

1. Padua Felice had clearly been restricted from leaving the country by destiny, so how did she get on this cross-border train without our knowledge? Even Theresa didn't receive any news.

Second, did she bribe someone, or was there an accomplice?

3. If so, where did the bribe money come from? Did they exchange some of the jewelry for money through the black market? Find out the connection between the two, and then follow the clues to find out the real reason.

Fu Hua carefully recorded what Xia Yuan said in her notes.

"Yuan, you mean... there is a traitor in the Tianming Police Station?!"

“We cannot rule out this possibility.”

"Then I'll contact Theresa now." Suddenly, Fu Hua seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, Yuan... I just met a doctor on the train. His name is Su. Would you like to ask him to take a look? Maybe he can help relieve your frequent headaches?"

"There's no rush for now. This is an old problem that can't be cured in a short time."

Xia Yuan shook his head.

His attention was now fixed on the contents of the envelope.

[Dear Detective, you seem to be still troubled by the case of stolen jewelry? ]

[Here are two train tickets to Shenzhou. Why don't you take your assistant on a romantic trip? Maybe you can find the truth you want to know during this trip.]

[A person who can only rely on you secretly and admires you~~~]

Xia Yuan silently folded the envelope neatly and put it into the inner pocket of his windbreaker for safekeeping. He put away his things at the table, picked up the gentleman's hat beside his seat, and tidied his clothes.

He lifted the long sleeves of his windbreaker, revealing the exquisitely crafted gear watch on his wrist.

This was a gift from a girl he had saved in a previous case as a thank you. Her name was Wei Wei, and she was well-known in the gear processing circle.

Every minute and every second of the gear watch is strictly calibrated, and you can see the other party's intentions.

【12:10:02】

It was almost noon. At this point, Xia Yuan remembered that this cross-border train was equipped with a special chef and provided three free meals every day.

Now that Padova is on this train, the greedy kitten will definitely not miss the free lunch.

"Hua, let's go and meet our old acquaintance Paduafilis."

Xia Yuan put on a gentleman's hat and led Fu Hua to another carriage.

Just after Xia Yuan and Fu Hua left, a cup of still warm coffee was placed in the last row away from Xia Yuan and their seats, and a pair of slender hands picked it up.

"You are here after all... Detective."

Miss Irene savored the coffee on the table carefully, with an unnoticed curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.

The journey finally kicked off and gradually became lively and interesting, but what was surprising was that Fu Hua, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, did not sense the existence of the person named [Irene Agler Rita] in the last row.

【A mysterious woman...】

She followed the two men.

The combination of Xia Yuan and Fu Hua who came to another carriage naturally attracted the attention of other passengers in the carriage.

Xia Yuan walked behind Fu Hua, deliberately pulling down the gentleman's hat on his head to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and trouble. His deep eyes were quickly looking at everyone in the carriage.

Just like Hua said, there are all kinds of people in the car.

There is a blue-haired girl who is concentrating on graffiti. Judging from her unfinished paintings, the girl has a promising future.

If I keep creating...

In the future he will surely become an outstanding painter who will achieve considerable success in the field of painting.

However, the girl's doodle on the drawing board was a blue and black monster with claws. It looked like a giant lobster floating on the drawing board. But its lifelike image really caused a ripple in Xia Yuan's heart. Are children's imaginations so wild nowadays?

"We...all...are on the humming train. On the train are me, Mother Aponya, and it, the blue one, and the black one."

In a trance, Xia Yuan suddenly saw the monster on the girl's drawing board move.

But in an instant, that feeling disappeared again.

"Hmm? Was that just my illusion?"

A blonde nun sitting next to the blue-haired girl noticed Xia Yuan's gaze.

"Ah, I'm sorry...Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. Gretchen always likes to draw some weird pictures."

The blonde nun turned the painting in Grace's hand over and placed it on the table.

There was a cross hanging around her neck. She looked at the blue-haired girl beside her with a doting look, touched her head gently, and then looked at Xia Yuan with an apologetic expression.

"It's okay. It's a good thing for children to have wild imaginations."

While Xia Yuan waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, he was also using his deep eyes to observe the details of the two people present.

Fu Hua stopped consciously.

She knew that her partner...had his detective occupational disease strike again.

Mr. Xia Yuan can analyze what the other person does, his identity, what he does, what he eats, where he is going next, etc. through details, tiny movements, or even a tiny glance.

This extraordinary ability was something she could never learn, and it was also what she admired most about him.

She had also asked her partner, but according to Yuan's own words:

"He is just an ordinary man...

"It's just that I have a little more observation ability for details than ordinary people. Details are often the easiest to be overlooked, but the most easily overlooked may be the crucial clues that connect the entire case."

"Details?"

Fu Hua then observed the two people sitting in the seats.

Judging from the title that the girl named Gray Xiu muttered while drawing just now...

Chapter 221: Mebius Likes Ketchup

The girl named Grace and the nun sitting next to her named Aponia.

The two should be in a mother-daughter relationship.

But judging from the hair color, pupils and appearance... there should be no direct blood relationship between the two. Perhaps the blue-haired girl grew up in the church, or maybe she was adopted by this nun alone.

Aponia slowly stood up and handed the two cute little statues she had just sculpted to Xia Yuan and Fu Hua respectively.

"Thank you for your understanding. I'm glad that Grayshu has not caused you any trouble. Oh... By the way, please accept these two statues. They are my token of appreciation."

Fu Hua wanted to decline, but her partner Yuan hinted that she should accept it.

Xia Yuan could tell from the nun's words and actions that she was a person who cared much more about others than her own. If he and Hua did not accept her kindness, she would definitely feel guilty and troubled.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister. We will accept it without hesitation. I wish you and your daughter a pleasant journey."

"It's good if you like it."

Seeing Xia Yuan take the initiative to accept his statue, Aponia's expression became much more relaxed.

But at the moment when Aponya withdrew her hand, her hand suddenly stopped in the air, and she once again saw the future and destiny of others.

A picture appeared in the depths of Aponya's pupils.

Xia Yuan was sleeping quietly in the train compartment. The door of the compartment was slowly pushed open. A mysterious black shadow appeared in the dim light in the train corridor. His shadow reflected on the wall became particularly long.

The shadow on the wall vaguely shows the sword carried by the other person's waist.

The shadow raised his saber high in his hand and was about to kill Xia Yuan who was still sleeping. When the blood stained the wall red, the future that Abonya had predicted came to an abrupt end...

The corners of Aponia's mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

She wanted to say it, but she didn't know how to explain it to the other party. She had extraordinary abilities since she was a child, and everything she foresaw would definitely happen in the future.

She had tried to stop it, but each time to no avail.

On the contrary...with her intervention, the other party's future will evolve in an extremely bad direction. Moreover, how can she tell a traveler she met by chance that he is doomed to die?

It looks like the relationship between the two is like that of a partner, or more like a couple on vacation.

She really couldn't say it...

Aponya's eyes turned quite sad.

"May fate protect you....stay away from danger, sir, please be careful."

Aponia's sudden serious expression made Xia Yuan feel a little confused.

What exactly caused the other person to become so sad, or was it that at some moment just now, the other person was reminded of some not-so-pleasant memories in the past?

"I'll pay more attention."

The other party's condition was not suitable for further communication, so Xia Yuan and his partner politely bid farewell to the nun.

The detective's intuition seemed to tell Xia Yuan that he might encounter unknown dangers on this train journey, and the advice given to him by the nun named Aponia was more like a warning.

The darkness hidden in the corner is ready to move...

Sitting in the seat behind the mother and daughter was a green-haired girl wearing a white lab coat, her eyes revealing a maturity that did not belong to her age group.

He was wearing a white coat that was only worn by lab personnel.

The long sleeves were rolled up by the girl, which seemed out of place with her petite figure.

It seems very inconsistent.

What concerned Xia Yuan even more was the girl's pupils. He had been a detective for so many years and had met many strange people, but he had never seen such pupils on anyone else.

At least humans don't have vertical pupils like snakes...

At this moment, the girl was eating the free lunch on the train somewhat carelessly. Judging from the expression on her face, it seemed that the food on the train did not suit her appetite, and she was casually fiddling with the knife and fork on the plate.

But through Xia Yuan's brief observation, he believed that the other party's mental age was at least similar to his own.

"Is it possible for an adult's soul to possess the soul of a child?"

Xia Yuan shook his head in self-mockery.

What happened to me? Was it because of the monster in the painting of the girl named Grayshu... that did not belong to reality, that affected me, or was it because my brain was in a daze and I hadn't woken up yet?

Without any scientific basis, he couldn't always rely on his detective intuition.

But then, the abnormal behavior of the green-haired girl once again attracted Xia Yuan's attention. He saw her put the knife and fork on the plate and looked at the small packet of ketchup on the plate.

The bloody red packaging immediately attracted the green-haired girl.

As if awakening the instinct of some creature, the green-haired girl squeezed it out and poured it onto a small plate. She couldn't wait to lick the tomato juice in the plate, completely disregarding her image.

The intraday bottom has already been reached.

The green-haired girl even used her fingertips to wipe away the bloody red from the corner of her mouth, and put her fingers in her mouth to suck on them.

In contrast to this is......

The green-haired girl barely touched the pile of lunch on her main plate.

"Oh my God, what did I see? The dishes she licked were cleaner than the ones I washed at home. This is amazing! Maybe I should introduce her to a job..."

Looking at the clean little plate on the table where the green-haired girl was sitting, Xia Yuan's thoughts were about to come out.

Sudden.....

The green-haired girl seemed to sense that someone was watching her.

Seeing the girl suddenly look up in his direction, Xia Yuan deliberately lowered his gentleman's hat, no longer paying attention to her, and quickly walked through the aisle of the carriage beside the green-haired girl with his partner Hua.

The green-haired girl looked at the backs of the two people leaving and felt that they looked familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere.
